Design and construction
MSI is well-known for its dark, elegant design and stealthy style. I personally don't like them however, it's the Titan GT77 is anything but. It appears stunning, as if it were a sports car, and is built to last like an armored vehicle. The lid is made of metal finish and the keyboard is constructed from high-quality plastic, which means there's very little movement. The cover that covers the bottom is constructed of plastic and has an air intake. In terms of the size and quantity of hardware it comes with It's heavy but not as much contrasted with older generation 17-inch laptops. It weighs 3.3kgs on its own , and can reach 4.9kgs when you add the power brick and charging cord. Its thickness is 23mm wide and increases to 33mm on the rear. Therefore, although it's possible to carry around it, the laptop is mostly intended to be an alternative to a desktop.
There's a massive part at the rear which is dedicated to cooling. The laptop is more spacious when compared with other gaming laptops of 17 inches. The back section that extends to the rear is actually a large air vent with other vents on the sides. Its I/O ports are located on either side side since the rear portion is reserved to cooling. The left-hand side has an reversible power connector and 2 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type A ports and one SD card reader (UHS-3) as well as an 3.5mm headset and mic connector. The right side has a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type A port, two USB Thunderbolt 4 ports that are Type-C, an Mini DisplayPort, HDMI and a 2.5-gig Ethernet LAN port. The lid on the bottom can be removed by taking out 11 screws and cutting the edges. Inside, you'll view the 99.9WHr battery as well as 4 M.2 storage slots (3x PCIe Gen 4 and 1x PCIe Gen 5) and the Intel Killer WiFi card and four memory slots secured by an open casing. In essence, you can make the most of this laptop by using as much as 128GB (32GBx4) of DDR5 memory as well as at least 32TB (8TBx4) of PCIe NVMe memory, which is quite a lot. Additionally there is also the thermal solution , which includes four fan instead of two, as well as numerous heat pipes that can cool the GPU and CPU.
Display
The 17.3-inch IPS panel has the full HD resolution (1,920 pixels x 1,080 pixels) and an impressive refresh rate of 360 Hz. This makes it an ideal option for professional games in esports. It also comes with some of the most responsive time, which is what is normal for laptops at this cost. Even when you're not playing, you will experience a sense of fluidity particularly when scrolling through webpages or even watching videos. Regarding colour contrast and reproduction the panel is able to live up to expectations. It's rated as 99.5 percent sRGB and the brightness soaring by 350 to 400 nits. You can also find other gaming laptops with more vibrant and vibrant screens, yet I did not have anything to be unhappy about. MSI also has the option of a display with a resolution of 4K with a 120Hz of refresh rate, which is certainly to be worthy of the equipment. However, not only is it likely to cost more and more expensive, but the stock prices appear to be quite volatile.
Keyboard and trackpad
This keyboard for the Titan GT77 has been co-developed by SteelSeries that will automatically increase the standard in efficiency and comfort. It has Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile switches that make it easy to use. The two-piece keycap construction and the gold cross-point contact system ensure that you receive the sensation of tactile feedback as well as excellent activation when you are playing or typing sessions. The keyboard also features keys that have RGB lighting that is completely programable, allowing you to experiment with different colours and patterns , and even create macros. The num-pad that is dedicated to the keyboard is a great addition, even though it has smaller keys. Overall , the keyboard feels comfortable and you will quickly become comfortable with the layout and force of actuation. One thing I observed is that the primary keys have low-profile switches whereas the others are equipped with membrane switches. The touchpad is quite large and has a smooth surface. I had no problems using it and enjoyed the ability to click virtually everywhere. There's also an option to scan fingerprints adjacent to the touchpad which can be set up using Windows Hello login.
Software and performance
The engine that powers this Titan GT77 12UHS is the 12th-gen Intel Core i9-12900HX processor, which is the current most powerful mobile chip from the company. It comes with eight performance cores as well as eight efficiency cores that have 24 threads, and the maximum increase frequency of five GHz. The processor is also equipped with Intel UHD graphics that feature 32 execution units, and an ultimate rate of 1.55GHz. For its GPU system, it comes with Nvidia GeForceRTX 3080 Ti, which has 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and clock speeds that go upwards to 1640MHz. It also comes with 64GB DDR5 memory with a clock speed of 4800MHz. As I mentioned earlier there four memory slots total. This means you can upgrade to 128GB later on. I was also happy to find the four M.2 slots filled with PCIe Gen 4 SSDs that provide me with 4TB of storage. That is incredible to view on laptops. In CrystalDiskMark it was clear that all the SSDs achieved maximum sequential write and read speeds of 7,000MBps or 5,000MBps respectively.
Battery life
The battery unit of Titan GT77 12UHS Titan GT77 12UHS is rated at 99.9WHr which is the highest capacity that you can find with any laptop. The charging brick of 330W is quite large and transporting it with your laptop is a hassle. With the top-of-the-line GPU and CPU combination I had a lack of expectations for the battery's performance. But, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to clock in around five hours of running time that included light work. One of the best features of laptops comes from its Display Power Saver feature that is turned on by default within MSI Center. MSI Center app. This setting automatically lowers the refresh rate between 360Hz and 60Hz once you remove the charger from the circuit and gives you greater battery longevity. MSI Center also offers the Super Battery performance profile, that again prioritizes battery longevity over performance. In general, it's not the same as AMD-powered gaming notebooks, however for a notebook that has premium hardware the battery's life is quite good.
Verdict
For the price of Rs. 4,99,990 I can't suggest buying this MSI Titan GT77 12-UHS. There are many options for configurations offered by MSI, and based on availability, you may save money by opting for a smaller amount of RAM or storage, and then upgrade later on to upgrade later on. Even so the price you pay for it is enough to construct a solid gaming laptop, complete with required equipment. In the end, you'll be able to save enough to buy a high-end modern gaming laptop. However this, The Titan GT77 12UHS is truly the fastest and best gaming laptop I tried in 2022. There is no laptop that can match the power of this beast, by the mile. If cost is not your concern then this is your ideal desktop replacement.
