We have the asus UX501 this is the most premium laptop that ASUS. Makes outside of their gaming lineup. Not the thinnest laptop but it has a really big battery. The MSI GS63 is one of the most powerful laptops in here since it has a GTX 1060, it's a gaming laptop but because it's pretty thin and light it makes the cut.
Next up we have the Dell XPS 15, it's still one of the best laptops ever from dell, the carbon fiber finish and the Infinity display really make this a strong contender here. We also have the Aero14 from Gigabyte comes in black green and orange and it's also equipped with the GTX 1060 but this is a smaller 14-inch screen. Lastly we have the 2016 Razer Blade also with the GTX 1060 One of the thinnest laptops with this powerful graphics chip it also has a 14 inch screen and it has chrome lighting so like I've done in other videos like this i'm going to go through some categories and then tell you my top picks for each particular category. In terms of build quality the MacBooks are the kings here they're really well-built the razor blade and the XPS 15 I would say are tied for second place the XPS 15 and feel a little more durable the razorblade look cleaner to me you can actually get skins for all three of these laptops from hebron and they can look awesome i'll link them below the 4k display on the XPS 15 is really nice it's not the brightest of the group but it's still plenty bright it's the most color accurate and it has super thin bezels the 2016 MacBook Pro has lower resolution but it's very bright which is great if you use your laptop outdoors lot it has a very wide color gamut but it isn't as color accurate the UX501 also is a great 4k display none of them have bad screens that was just a matter of preference for resolution screen size MacBooks tend to have terrible user upgradability in fact the 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro can't be upgraded at all the RAM and the SSD are both on board and all of the windows laptops have upgradeable ram and storage except for the razorblade you can only upgrade the storage for the razor blade the most upgradeable is the msi GS63 it has two ram slots and two drive bays the XPS.
15 Can also do this but it's a little bit more complex got to order some parts and to do that these all have good keyboards none of them are bad personally I like the keyboard on the 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro the most i know a lot of people would disagree but I. Personally can take the fastest and most accurately with it no joke the GS63 the XPS15 and the Razer Blade with chrome elating are also good but you know what you can't go wrong with any of these keyboards are all enjoyable to use the MacBooks are still the trackpad leaders the taptic engine the surface texture of the precision there's still the best it's kind of sad we're rolling into 2017 here and windows laptops are still haven't perfected the trackpad but of this bunch the one that I like the most is the XPS 15 now any of them that can use native windows precision drivers are going to be better but the MacBook track pads are still the best the laptop with the best selection of ports is definitely the MacBook not kidding i'd say the winner is the msi GS63 has a ton of ports but the SD reader is slower i think it's used to be too but basically all the windows laptops and have a pretty good selection of ports the razor blade is missing an SD reader the Aero14 doesn't have the Honorable three support but aside from that they're all well equipped with ports the only one here with rock-solid external GPU support is the Razer Blade so if you connect that to the razor core it works perfectly the XPS 15 isn't bad either but the rest of them are still kind of flaky right now external gps aside from MacBooks they're all rocking the Skylake 6700 HQ. Processor very similar cpu performance across the board the laptops with the GTX 960 are the best performers between them they're too close to really say which one is the winner maybe the GS63 but they're all really powerful now thermally the laptops with the weaker cards are going to produce less heat and have quite a fan's the MacBook and the XPS15 are the most quiet when they're under load the razor blade and the Aero14 are the loudest when their gaming the 2016 MacBook speakers can't be beat no one's making better speakers right now and to be honest all the windows laptop speakers sound similar in overall quality I mean he's so different from each other but it's hard to really label a winner so if the 2016 MacBook has first place the 2015 MacBook has second place and maybe the razor blade for third place none of them are bad though in general battery life isn't going to be amazing on laptops like these skylake processors are reasonably energy efficient but when you take a quad-core CPU and you put into a thin and light chassis you can only expect so much the 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro has the best battery life it's an older processor but it has a big battery and mac OS is pretty energy-efficient of the windows laptops the UX501 is the longest lasting here the XPS 15 when it's configured with the big battery is also pretty good okay in terms of value none of these laptops are going to be particularly cheap they're all premium in some way or another I think the best value overall would be the msi GS63 you're getting really good performance for the price now whether or not you need or even want that kind of performance of something else but it delivers really good bang for the buck the UX 501 is also pretty well priced with its 4k screen and a used or refurbished 2015 MacBook Pro can also be a pretty good value you can't go wrong choosing any of these laptops and there's other really good options out there that aren't in this video something like the Alienware 13 it's a little bit thicker and heavier than ask them here it is a great quad-core laptop in terms of like the best overall want it really depends on what you're doing as a video editor my personal top pic is the XPS 15 mostly because of the screen i really like the color accuracy and really like the fact that has really thin bezels that just seals it for me if you need more information about any of these laptops they're gonna be like below individual reviews as well as some benchmarks for some of the video cards actually one of the video card the gtx 960 but yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs up if you liked it subs beloved it's been nice i'll see you guys next time.
