and today with us an amazing list I will show
I will with you the review best 4k laptops in 2022
content list
about the advantages
and disadvantages I am very excited guys, I hope you like the list, let’s start
1-Razer Blade 15 Base Gaming Laptop
so this is the brand new razer blade 15. my unit happens to come
with the new RTX 2070 max-q now if you’re looking
at it, you’re probably
saying matt what is the difference it looks
exactly the same and you’re absolutely
right it does it has the same look it has the same feel the only
the difference in terms of its outer interior is the thickness of it it’s
hard to tell on camera but the brand new razer
blade 15 is slightly thicker by a few millimeters
those extra millimeters are to incorporate the bigger RTX GPUs and also
probably helps a little bit with cooling the look I still
love that the build quality still top-notch especially when
you compare it to other competing
laptops out there the port situation is exactly the same as
last year so I’m not going to go over the ports again but I do
wish they put an sd card slot on this I mean at the end of
the day they’re including 4k panels with beautiful
color accuracy so they’re aiming it towards
gamers but it’s very appealing for content creators the internals
everything inside is the same place there are some
upgrades for example the name SSD is now faster this year
compared to last you’re almost getting
Write speeds The wi-fi card has also been
upgraded, I don’t really notice much of a difference but it’s newer and this
is in a 4K laptop
year you can put 64 gigabytes of ram inside of here instead of just 32.
now battery life is still using an 80-watt hour cell so I’m getting
about five to five and a half hours of use with the 4k version I’m
sure if I bought the full HD version instead my battery life
would be better so as I mentioned my
display is 4k it’s using the same
with really good brightness over 350 nits of brightness
the webcam is the same it’s still terrible at 720p but you do get a
brand new infrared sensor on the top so you’re
capable of using windows
hello this makes a big difference to me I like using windows
hello it’s such a great piece of technology being able to
quickly getting into your laptop using your face is so much
more convenient than typing in a password the
sound is still the same you still have two speakers
on both sides of the keyboard
giving you more immersive sound
laptops that do it better but overall it’s very acceptable
The keyboard exactly the same you’re still getting chroma
lighting you can light up each key individually if you really
want to overall it’s a very beautiful keyboard the only thing that I wish
was that it had more travel distance it doesn’t feel like a gaming
keyboard and it feels more like a keyboard
that belongs on a MacBook pro the touchpad is
still the same
very accurate when I’m dragging around the 4k laptop
the screen and using gestures so let’s talk about what
matters the performance it’s still using the same CPU as
last year the i7 8750h so anything CPU intensive you’re not
going to see any difference it’s the GPU that’s been upgraded the RTX 2070
max q inside of here is about 10 to 15 faster than last year’s tax 1070
max q so that pretty much puts it online
with a full-size gtx 1070 or
tdp on the GPU itself so you should get some better efficiency
this will be able to game comfortably at full HD or HD
with settings set to high 4k is hit or miss older titles you can
a game at 4k like overwatch but when it comes to some of the
newer titles you’re definitely gonna have to drop down the settings
now the one thing that razer does really well is cooling the CPU they
take more of a proactive approach compared
to the competition
throttle it again this is fine if you want the best frame
rates but it don’t help for the longevity of the CPU what
they do instead is power throttle the CPU reducing
amount of power that goes to it with that you get lower
turbo boosts usually average around 2.6 to 2.8 gigahertz
instead of crazy turbo boosts that stay at max CPU
speeds with that you get a CPU that stays significantly
cooler at around 80 to 85 degrees I’ll be honest
products but two or three years down the road this laptop is more likely to
4k laptop compared to the competing ones and the last thing is fan noise it gets just
as loud as last year but the thing about this year’s
model, I don’t find they’re ramping up as often as they
did last year so you have a little bit better
consistency a little bit better control of the fans compared to
before so here are my closing thoughts the razer
blade 15 is still one of the better-built gaming
feel the same but at the end of the day there’s a lot of
small improvements to make this a more refined and complete
package I do wish it had an sd card slot and I do wish the keyboard
had better travel distance but overall it’s still one of the better gaming
laptops you can buy today I really truly like the proactive approach they
take to cooling the system rather than the more
reactive approach other laptop vendors take anyways
that wraps up my review of the RTX 2070 max-q from razer blade let
next one
MSI Creator 15 A10SFS-2
hey guys today’s video is all about the MSI
creator 15 a laptop that is aimed at creators obviously
with a focus on powerful specs and a long battery life thanks to its
huge 99.9-watt-hour battery and if you think it looks familiar
you are completely right as they basically took the gs66 gaming
laptop and turned it into a more professional alternative so it is nothing
like the creator 17 even though
they share the same name but it’s more like a gs66 exact
specs will vary per region as usual and it will either
come with a six-core or an eight-core i7 a wide
4k laptop
at the low end and then going up to an RTX 2080
supermax q at the high end and on top of that most models
will also come with a touch screen panel now most laptops
with touch screens don’t really focus on dedicated
graphics cards and vice versa most laptops that feature a powerful
GPU doesn’t really focus on a touch screen and this laptop
actually has both which kind of makes it special in a way now my exact
the model here is actually a more affordable version
featuring a six-core i7 10 750h a gtx 1660 to 16
gigs of ram 512 gig SSD and a full HD touch
which usually ends up being around fifteen hundred
dollars in us let’s begin but if you want a nice and big gaming
monitor instead check out the g32qc from gigabyte
this 32-inch monitor with a curved
v8 panel quality resolution and 165hz refresh
rate is pretty fast and great for gaming it supports g-sync and free sync and it also comes
with an excellent image quality thanks to its exceptional
contrast and brightness did I mention it’s also pretty affordable now
check it out using the links in the description below the design
of this new creator, 15 is pretty much
based on the gs66 gaming laptop that actually had a very clean and a very
professional design it was also extremely
well built so I’m really happy they
decided to use this as the base for a more creator
with the well-built metal panels and a very
good finish 4k laptop
now it’s not quite on a razor blade or a MacBook level but it is actually
really good unfortunately it does like fingerprints a lot so be
prepared to clean it regularly in terms of size it is a pretty
standard 15-inch laptop is 36 centimeters wide 25 centimeters
was to be expected considering the specs of this thing you can
build quality and that same
clean aesthetic as the outside there is barely any flex in the keyboard
with a white backlight, the keyboard itself is a bit lighter but like most
other MSI keyboards feel pretty good and it will be very easy to get
used to it quickly the touchpad is a bit larger which is nice for
everyday use and it comes with a fingerprint
with a nice smooth glass finish and pretty good accuracy I did
find that pressing the corners was a bit heavier than
usual now it doesn’t really bother me personally but i
imagine it might not suit everyone you can of course
just stab the surface to click instead as well or just do what other
normal people would do and use a mouse instead on the right side you
get a fast USB 3.2 gen 2 type a port and an HDMI
port with support for 4k 60hz displays plus a USB 3.2 gen 2 type c port with
support for Displayport and Thunderbolt 3 as well as 4k laptop the option to actually
light use on the go and on the right side there is a combined
audio jack a USB 3.2 gen 2 type c port an sd card reader and a gigabit
ethernet connection while I appreciate them adding a card reader to a machine
called creator they did remove the two extra USB type-a ports
like this really should have more
than one USB type-a ports one of the main reasons that you want to
consider this creative 15 is the fact that it does combine a touch
screen with a proper dedicated graphics card now
there are a lot of laptops with a touchscreen but most
would not offer a strong
display with touch support and subjectively it looked and felt
good the moment I started using it offers a good amount of
brightness for example
touch performance also feels really solid it feels really smooth and I think
it responds fast now I personally don’t really use touch displays every
day but the fact is that it’s a feature that a lot of people do like and they
do use a lot it would have been even better if it was a 4k screen
instead, as those extra pixels really do benefit
creators but
performance you do notice some weaknesses here srgb
color gamut was only 86 for example which also causes
some of the other color accuracy results are lower than
perfect so it will be lacking for anyone that really
needs to do color-critical work
the contrast isn’t that great either it is in line with many
IPS monitors but many laptops offer better contrast so to
put it in perspective this level of performance is
enough for things like product
photos or even a 4k laptop You find things like this
you will find many affordable laptops but it should have been better for graphic artists
especially because it’s not a cheap laptop and it is actually
called a creator now there is a 4k panel option as well that does
feature 100 adobe RGB coverage but no touchpad
option so if you really need to have perfect color accuracy you should
go for that one instead of CPU performance
of the six-core intel core, i7 is all right it’s a strong six-core CPU with
decent all-around performance plenty of power for most creative or work
applications and so on but at the same time it is outperformed
by cheaper laptops
is CPU power there are cheaper and better options out there
and I can say the same for the GPU performance actually
the 60 watt Nvidia GeForce gtx 1660 ti is definitely not the most
powerful GPU you can find in this price class but it is a very
capable one it will be fine for your creative apps
that support NVidia GPUs like adobe premiere
some aaa games on medium settings and light games on high but
don’t buy this laptop if gaming is your main goal this is more
for users that are looking for a work laptop with a touchscreen
that also want to do some gaming in their free time one area
where the creator 15 does really well is the battery
life at around five and a half 4k laptop hours of productivity it ended
up nice and high up in the graph
in an area that’s actually dominated by laptops
with a weaker GPU or a more efficient AMD CPU and the same goes
for 7 hours which is by the way the largest battery you can take
onto an airplane but anyways it’s a really good result
and it means that you can easily work on this most of the day
without worrying about your charger turbo
performance is all right as well when stressing both the CPU
and the GPU the creator does push for performance at the expense
of higher temperatures but I would say around 90 degrees
on your CPU has basically
mode is a bit warm but surprisingly quiet at 40.8 decibels high
performance mode ramps up the fans a bit more
boosts the speeds and it’s actually not extremely loud so it ends up
faster with a slightly better CPU temperature so I would
say in my opinion if you want to game on this
laptop I would use this high performance
mode and if you’re working in an application that mostly
uses your CPU I would suggest setting the software to balance
mode actually in a CPU only stressed as temperatures stayed
reasonable performance is still good and noise levels remained
decent as well as hitting a nice balance between
with a lot more noise and a CPU temp of above 90 degrees
celsius so basically you should swap between the two
modes depending on what your 4k laptop does on this laptop which
can easily be done by pressing f7 just like on the gs66 I really like what
they did with the internals it is really easy to
open this laptop and once inside you can see a lot of heat
pipes and all the parts that you want to reach you can
chip so you don’t really have to upgrade it yet you can
replace both memory modules and you can
replace the factory SSD or even add a second one I think it gets a perfect score for
upgradability and for maintenance, the speakers are not one of the
strengths of this laptop but they’re more than loud
enough so you can easily listen to some videos or watch
clarity in my opinion I also noticed that because of the positioning of the speaker
openings you can easily cover them with your hand while you’re
working on the laptop and even though it is just a minor
inconvenience it is still just an extra
thing to think about while working on it if you’re looking for some reliable and fast
external storage sheds are the way to go it doesn’t matter if you’re just
going to use them to copy some files to work from them for example or to
keep your games on they’re just such a useful tool to
have now thankfully it will be completely

3-GIGABYTE AERO 17 HDR XD
Look at this monster 4k laptop
now this laptop is definitely more of a mobile workstation than a gaming
machine and I will explain that further as we
discuss the specs but if you are a creator or
designer of any kind then this thing is definitely
something worth taking a look at so what’s inside
firstly let’s talk about the processor
available as well a faster processor means a more efficient workflow and reduce
rendering times so you can get your work out faster this
laptop has a 4k ultra HD display with a 100 adobe RGB and an x-rite Pantone
certified display adobe RGB means it can cover a wider color space than
regular RGB monitors every aero panel is x-ray calibrated
out of the factory
this means more detail and more color depth perfect
for creators and designers, it also has an HDMI at 2.1 output
cater for the designer professional the inbuilt 4k
screen is beautiful but it is locked to 60hz it is definitely
prioritize a higher refresh rate rather than a 4k resolution
now obviously we all know that most laptops do have an sd card
reader but what’s neat about the aero laptop is the transfer
speed the sd card reader in this system offers up to 300 megabits
per second which 4k laptop is 12 times faster than a traditional sd
card readers so not only can you transfer your photos
and videos on the go but you can do it 12 times faster the arrow 17
also has a thunderbolt 4 port which is perfect if you have any game
docks 4k displays and up to 40 gigabits per second transfer
speeds and again that just really highlights that this is a mobile workstation
you can take it to work do all of your photo and video editing
equipped with an RTX 3080 laptop GPU with 8GB of video memory
giving you the power to not only drive the 4k display for your video
editing and graphic
projects but also give you a decent frame rate for general
gaming for super fast and secure logins the touchpad on the laptop
also has a fingerprint scanner which I still find really
novel and I just love logging in with it in terms of the battery
CPU and GPU wattage depending upon what you were doing
web browsing at 4k resolution and 75 brightness had a 5 hour
battery life and 1080p video playback at 20 brightness
can go for up to 8 hours on a full charge obviously the battery
life all comes down to what you’re doing with it
the brightness of the screen the
applications and the RGB zones speaking
of ribs you can absolutely
workstation that is well capable of playing the latest
games I think the aero17 hdr
is definitely something to consider the most
the exciting thing for me with this
laptop definitely the display the color
accuracy for videos and photo
editing is something that I’ve struggled with so much on other
systems I’ve considered getting calibrators and everything
life is much better but that is for aero 17 video if you are
looking for editing capabilities I am looking
forward to putting them through their
gameplay steps as well
I will show you the advantages and disadvantages
4-Apple 12-Inch MacBook Laptop
part of this is a spec upgrade but there are more significant
updates to this computer then there are to the MacBook pros
specifically, there is a new keyboard mechanism built
in here so this gets the second-generation butterfly
switches that the MacBook Pro also has so I think that
really addresses one of the complaints of the previous
model but of course, we also get kV-lake processors
and new graphics, and for the first time
we get a 16 gig ram upgrade option
a computer which I think is pretty interesting and you
can also upgrade the ram to 16 gigs and you’re stuck
to 512 gigs of SSD storage so that’s the maximum you
can go when it comes to the accessories all pretty much
the same as the last model of course we get a USB-C cable
for recharging the MacBook again very nicely tied up here
in terms of the paperwork, we get something
that’s kind of unique to the macbook 12in m7
if you get gold rose gold or even silver you’ll see
matching stickers there as well of course we get a
quick start guide and warranty info also included is
the 29 watt usbc power adapter so again the cable
can be removed unfortunately the extension cable
is no longer included with macbooks now like most
spec upgrades you’re not going to see a whole lot
visually different between this and the previous
so if you look at the control and option key you’ll
see some new icons there of course this is a
computer that didn’t really need a design
update it looks fantastic i like this wedge
shape it’s extremely compact weighs only two
pounds so it’s very lightweight and i think it’s
just the right size for most people of course
that means they did not change the port
situation there’s still just one
usb type-c connector on the left side
pick up thunderbolt 3 thanks to the new intel hd graphics
615 gpu this is able to output to higher resolution monitors
so it can now output to 4096 by 2304 that’s up
from the 3804 by 2160 that this computer was maxed
out to last year another improvement you can’t see is
bluetooth 4.2 replacing 4.0 from the previous models
also carried over is the 12 inch ips display with a
resolution of 2304 by 1440 that’s good for 226
pixels per inch it’s a very bright and vivid
the displays look the same but there seems to be
a slight difference to the anti-reflective coating
on the new macbook they didn’t mention this
change here but it does look like it’s a bit more
effective on the new macbook 12in m7 it doesn’t look
as green and there’s a little less reflection here so i
think this is the same coating they use on the newer
macbook pros perhaps the only thing that really needed
an improvement that did not happen is the 480p
facetime camera so we’re still stuck with that
web browsing is very similar to the MacBook pro
besides the new key icons, for the most part, the
keyboard and the large force touch glass trackpad
look the same and they all work mostly the same
but obviously, there’s a big difference in terms of
how the keyboard feels and sounds now this sounds
and feels very much like a MacBook Pro keyboard
so if you don’t like that keyboard you’re still not
going to like this now personally I love it it’s a very
fast and tactile keyboard and I think it’s a
huge improvement over the previous
to my eyes it really doesn’t look like the height of
the keys has changed at all it still looks identical
to the previous model it’s just the way they feel
and click so let’s go to the keyboard
in action to see how they differ
also just above the keyboard is one of the best-sounding
speaker systems I’ve ever heard on a laptop
borg and Apple have updated all of its MacBook pros
with kaby lake CPUs and new graphics once again
the best way to illustrate what’s new and improved
about a spec upgrade is to compare it to the like
model from the previous release and that’s what
I’m going to do here so I have the baseline
in terms of our geekbench scores pretty significant
gains over the previous model i’m actually surprised
by how significant this is so this is still not going to
compete with the macbook pro but it’s definitely
a big improvement over what we had previously in
terms of graphics all macbooks get the hd graphics
615 gpu replacing the 515 from last year now the gains
here are not that significant so we’re seeing 25
frames per second as opposed to 23 frames
changed they’ve sped up quite a bit so we’re seeing huge
gains here in terms of the read and write speed now
this becomes evident especially when launching apps
there’s much less lag here on the new macbook versus
the old one so that does make a performance
difference so in the end i’ve always really liked
the macbook 12in m7 it’s far more powerful than i think most
which I’m going to use my main machines
for anyway so for day-to-day laptop use
such as reading email social media web browsing this is
more than capable even in its baseline
configuration now the main reason I stopped using
the MacBook was because of the better keyboard
on the MacBook Pro which is very important
when you spend a lot of time typing so now
that that keyboard has made it
to the MacBook I definitely
MacBook 12in m7 I think it’s worth your look
