  • Hey how it's going , Dave2D here

  • So in front of me are eight laptops , and I will consider these to be the best laptops right now in mid 2018

  • So kind of the best laptops in that premium thin and light market

  • These all are very powerful , they all have high CPU core count , they all have dedicated GPUs (well, most of them do)

  • These are .. yeah these are like the premium ones

  • So I have four gaming oriented ones then I have four 'content creation' oriented ones

  • But in 2018 I feel like there are lots of crossover, lots of stuff that gamers like looking for

  • It's the same stuff that content creators looking for so kinda mix them up.

  • But, to introduce them, I'm gonna go with the gaming side first

  • So we have the GS65 from MSI, so there's no more black and red accents on this thing, it's gold and black,

  • it has thin bezels and it's by far the best thin and light laptop MSI has made.

  • We also have the Aero 15x - Gigabyte did a pretty heavy refresh on it this year,

  • faster components, faster screen, but the chassis is pretty much unchanged from last year.

  • We have the 2018 Razer Blade - this is Razer's new 15 inch thin and light gaming laptop,

  • It's got better thermals, thinner bezels, and it's improved all - round this year.

  • We also have the GM501 from Asus, so this is the more reasonably priced varient of the original Zephyrus.

  • It's packing a faster screen and a better keyboard and trackpad layout than the original Zephyrus.

  • Okay moving onto the devices that are leaning more towards content creation

  • So these are for people that are into 3D modeling, or they're illustrators or video editors

  • whatever it is that you do, if it's content and you're making it, you can probably use one of these

  • So first we have the XPS 15, so this is the 9570 , this is a product ID that's on

  • year 3 - beautiful screen but the unchanged design and the thermal limitations are getting a little stale

  • uh, we also have the XPS 15 2-in-1, so we have the maglev keyboard, pen support, tablet mode

  • It's got an AMD Vega M GPU combined with an Intel CPU, a very thin package for a 2-in-1

  • We also have the new ZenBook Pro from Asus -- so this is a laptop with 2 screens
