Videos for Jan 31st - Feb 6th
🕑 Added 2022-01-31 00:10:36 +0000 UTCI've got a couple of videos planned for this week:
1st: MacBook Pro 16 Review
4th: i9-11980HK vs i9-12900HK
The MacBook video is complete and I'm working on the CPU comparison for the next few days so we can see how the best i9 11th gen and 12th gen laptop CPUs compare. Hopefully both at max power limit, and with both power limited to 45W.
Also might do some M1 Pro vs Intel 12th gen and Ryzen 6000 stuff in future as I ran a bunch of other CPU benchmarks on it. With the CPU comparisons done I'll then be able to continue with the MSI GE76 review work, I think the only testing left to do is thermals.
Later in the week I'm hoping to get started on the XMG Oasis which is here with new 12th gen Neo 15, though that will need quite a bit of testing I imagine, so probably still a couple of weeks out for the videos on that.
Razer are sending their new Blade 14, 15 and 17 soon, not exactly sure when though, while ASUS have said they're sending the Scar 15 and Z13 soon, so nothing is locked in just yet, but stuff is hopefully happening.

Cheers for update. When you have time, and after youve had razer 15/17 as well xmg 12th gen in hand, since youve already tested the gigabyte water egpu, can you possibly suggest a choice between options above for my "desktop replacement" , considering silence as a factor.
Haha I'm trying my best, they are sending 2 and so far 1 is here with the other estimated to arrive tomorrow. They keep sending me new VBIOS/BIOS/firmware updates almost daily so I kind of almost wonder if it's worth giving a little bit more for things to mature.
Update: I might swap the i9 comparison with 12900HK vs M1 Pro. I had to prioritize it to finish with the MacBook which means there might not be enough time to have the originally planned i9 comparison finished.
Hurry up with oasis... Im planing to order either a gigabyte 3080 eGpu for my dell precision 5540 and hope it works well regardless of fact that cpu is 9th gen , or possibly buy xmg 15 lap + oasis as a complete new setup. 3rd option might be new razer 14/15 . I am forced due to the move abroad for work to abandone my trusty desktop and use laptop as a daily driver for both work & games... Still not clear on how Im going to get used to noise... Figuring out still which of the above combo will be best as thermals/acustic is concerned.... Help out man :-)
