Even with thick bezels surrounding it, the screen feels immersive due to its size (on a laptop, at least). It’s a big screen that’s easy to get lost in, especially when gaming. Upon opening the lid, a 17.3-inch HD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Nvidia's G-Sync technology greet you. With this many ports, you’re more likely to run out of stuff to plug in before you run out of ports. Finally, the right side of the GT75 is where you’ll find two more USB 3.1 ports and an SD card reader. By adding Thunderbolt support to the USB-C port, you can connect an external monitor or an external hard drive and take advantage of Thunderbolt transfer speeds. On the backside, you’ll find the Ethernet port, a miniDisplay Port, a USB-C port with Thunderbolt, an HDMI port, and the charging port. The left side of the housing is home to four audio ports (line in/out, audio in/out) and three USB 3.1 ports. At 2.28-inches thick, resting my forearms on the keyboard was uncomfortable at times since the chassis is over two inches tall.ĭanielle Abraham + 1 moreAs a full-sized laptop, the GT75 is unsurprisingly loaded with expansion ports. Though I'm used to laptops that are this wide and tall, its thickness took some getting used to. It weighs over 10 pounds and measures 16.85 x 12.36 x 2.28-inches. MSI GT75 Titan 8RG – Design and FeaturesLet’s get it out of the way: This laptop is big. Connectivity: Killer AC Wi-Fi + Bluetooth v5.Ports: 1 x 3.5 mm audio in, 1 x 3.5 mm audio out, 1 x 3.5 mm line in, 1 x 3.5 mm line out, 5 x USB 3.1 ports, 1 x HDMI, 1 x mini Display Port, 1 x USB Type C with Thunderbolt 3 support, 1 x Ethernet, 1 x miniDisplay Port.Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 1080 8GB GDDR5.Processor: Intel Core i9-8950HK at 2.9GHz (12M Cache, up to 4.80 GHz).What else is under the hood? Here are the specifications of the model I tested: If you're suffering from sticker shock MSI also offers this model with either dual GTX 1070s, or a single 1070, but they're hard to find. Adding that feature to the equation will set you back and extra $500 over the 1080p version I tested, which is priced at $3,999. The only thing missing from the spec sheet of the GT75 is a 4K display. The CPU along with the rest of its high-end parts mean this is basically a desktop, but with a built-in display. This is the first laptop to sport this beefy processor (that I've reviewed), and it's a six-core beast that's fully unlocked for overclocking, with the ability to run a single core at the insane clock speed (for a laptop) of 4.8GHz. Unlike the previous MSI mega laptop that I reviewed, this time around the power-hungry culprit isn't dual GPUs, but instead it's Intel’s new Coffee Lake Core i9 processor.
