The video showcases EVGA's SC15 gaming laptop, highlighting a more affordable, lower‑landscape design compared to its SC17 predecessor. The presenter explains that the SC15 aims to hit a price range of about $1,500 to $1,700, though the final price was not yet finalized at CES 2017. The display is a 1080p IPS panel with G‑Sync and a refresh rate around 120 Hz, designed to deliver smooth gaming experiences at high frame rates. Internally, the laptop swaps in a mobile Intel Core i7‑7700HQ processor with 16 GB of RAM, plus a 1 TB hard drive and a 256 GB M.2 SSD for storage versatility. The graphics subsystem features a desktop‑class GTX 1060, which the host emphasizes as capable for a broad array of games at 1080p. Cooling is addressed with two fans that pull air from the top and back while exhaust vents push hot air out the rear, and a foam mat beneath the chassis is used to minimize heat transfer to the lap. The SC15 also includes a backlit RGB keyboard, a range of ports including USB 3.0, USB‑C Gen 2 10 Gbps, HDMI 2.0, mini DisplayPort, and a 720p webcam, with easy access to upgrades via a bottom panel that removes as a unit. Overall, the device is positioned as a practical gaming laptop that balances performance with portability, offering upgradeability and a distinctive EVGA design language, while the presenter teases additional accessories like dbrand skins and invites viewer feedback on the build and features.
