The video showcases MSI’s Computex 2013 lineup focusing on high-end gaming notebooks. It kicks off by highlighting the GT70 Dragon Edition 2, which is promoted as an extreme mobile monster powered by an Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition processor and a GTX 780M, featuring MSI’s exclusive Super RAID 2 with three MSA SSDs in RAID 0 plus a 750 GB HDD for mass storage. Linus Tech Tips explains how this chassis is designed to sustain extraordinary performance, including a special hybrid power design that allows the system to temporarily draw extra power while maintaining high clock speeds up to around 4.1 GHz via a bootable hotkey. The segment also notes the 17.3 inch display with a 2880x1620 3K resolution, emphasizing the sharper image compared with standard 1080p panels, and discusses the necessity of ample VRAM to drive higher resolutions, particularly four gigs of GDDR5 on the GTX 780M and an NVIDIA Surround multi-display setup that can drive up to four outputs from a single notebook. As the discussion moves to MSI’s GS70, the focus shifts to the ultra-slim, all-aluminum chassis that still packs a capable GTX 765M GPU and a Core i7, with attention paid to cooling, port selection, and the redesigned backlit keyboard. The host underscores the GS70 as a stylish, high-performance alternative for gamers who want portability, signaling MSI’s shift toward premium, slender gaming laptops and hinting at more revelations to come from the Computex showcase. Throughout, the video blends hands-on observations with a tour-like cadence, inviting viewers to subscribe for continued Computex coverage and to stay tuned for future MSI notebook updates.
