Buying a laptop based on just TB3 I don't think is crucial for some people, and to completely discard Gigabyte I feel is a unfair statement. :)

Nothing unfair about wanting a port that many want and many will need in the future. Nothing pointless about future proofing for at least a little while longer. Why buy a Gigabyte when MSI are around the same price if not CHEAPER and have TB3?

I didn't say it was unfair that you want TB3 I am sure many will want it and will go for MSI as they are a great brand too, I am saying it is unfair to completely remove Gigabyte out of the equation when TB3 isn't the be all and end all.

And I am sure Gigabyte will probably offer TB3 in some of their models in the near future. But I can say that I've never needed TB3 when gaming.

For me TB3 is the future proofing side of things. Laptops are inherintly difficult if not impossible to upgrade.

TB3 allows me to buy the best GPU/CPU combo I can afford now and then use an external dock with the latest and greatest in a couple of years time when a new Vive is released and not need to buy a whole new unit.

Gigabyte seemingly refuse to acknowledge its mere existence and is falling behind because of it.

It may not have been needed "yet", however If I'm going to drop £1500+ on anything I'd like to think that it may be still current in a couple of years time.

The 970m I bought 2 years ago in an MSI unit had I not sold it already would be totally redundant for my needs, based purely on the GPU. If TB3 had have been common place then I could easily still be using it (in theory) with an external dock and a GTX 1080 and it would be good for VR and a good while yet.

Well said. Don't worry he obviously doesn't want to **** off Gigabyte being OCUK "staff". Otherwise he'd be admiting and acknowledging no TB3 is a ridiculous oversight by Gigabyte.
 
im curious what the 120hz IPS panel is like in the gs63vr (and the gs73vr) im mainly going to be video and photo editing/rendering, any reviews on this?
 
Got to admit I'm going to be buying a laptop in September and I won't be buying one without TB3.
Its in my top 5 requirements list :(

Surely 4K display would be better for you than a 120Hz display? What need would you have for one when video editing?
Click to expand...

Ive thought long and hard about the 4K display and although adobe cc has tools for scaling. a lot of other programs such as autodesk, rhino, revvit don't scale as well (sorry for not listing these programs in my earlier post).

I also dont believe (personally) that 4k on anything under 22-24" is that beneficial although i realise that is something of a debate.

PS: the 4k screen is about 300$ more over here in the U.S, where id rather put that towards a colour calibrator and other laptop upgrades

If you're shooting 4K then a 4K display is required for the best quality comparison. Then again for quick check of rushes on set then you could get away with 1080p as long as you edit in 4K on a 4K calibrated screen.

You should consider this laptop for editing if you're in the US. Been reduced. Pretty sure it's 4K with Adobe calibration with a TB3 socket. I know 960m only, but you can upgrade the GPU through TB3 and a Tb GPU caddy.

Edit : Removed link to competitor. Forgot about the rules! You can see the link on IGN when looking at their deals articles.

I'm actually a little disappointed.

I had thought that with the performance for the thermal rating manufactures would have upped the chassis design, but only MSI seem to have created slim units with the stealth models. The rest seem to have just replaced the GPU from the older models and hit sell.

The lack of future ports from many manufactures is really poor. It's obviously come from the reuse of the older models bases but it feels like it's a rushed job and they really aren't too bothered about the consumers.

For me dropping 2k on a laptop is OK, but only if I can expect to get a good 18 / 24 months out of the unit.

I'm sure they are all working hard on newer units designed around the new performance and cooling numbers, and hopefully some reviews will appear soon to counteract this initial disappointment in the situation
 
Disregarding prices for the moment, it's amazing how far laptops have come in the last couple of years. I remember buying my 980m and being impressed, and now we have high-end parts that are knocking on the door of the desktop versions? Finally. :)

If you are using it mainly for editing then why on earth do you need a high-end GPU... a low-end GPUone with and hardware acceleration beefy CPU will also do fine? :confused:

A 120hz screen is also less beneficial than a 4k one in that instance, imo.

You are wrong I'm afraid. For Adobe products, resolve and now avid you require GPU power NOT CPU. A simple Google search will confirm this. It's all about GPU grunt. Those programs use OpenCL and CUDA acceleration.

I am not wrong. A lower-end Nvidia also has the required acceleration, even older Quadros do it fine. You do not need a high-end GTX 1070/1080 to use Adobe products smoothly.

Can you link me some facts on this, because I use Premiere CC, AE CC and BMD Resolve Studio all running on a 980ti and a HP machine running on a quadro and the difference in rendering speed is night and day! So yes, in this instance you are very much wrong.
