Ryzen 9 3950X Laptop!? ULTIMATE Desktop Replacement!

Ryzen 9 3950X Laptop!? ULTIMATE Desktop Replacement!

This laptop/desktop replacement uses the AM4 socket and can run AMD Ryzen desktop processors! It’s a Clevo chassis known as the THICC-15 from Eluktronics in the US, Apex 15 from XMG in Europe, or the Prime-AI here in Australia from Metabox. In this review I’ll test it out with the Ryzen 9 3950X, Ryzen 7 3700X, and Ryzen 5 3600 in this laptop!

    Good, replace it with 5900x



  2. Yosif Videlov on February 26, 2021 at 10:51 pm

    run a AVX workload to cook your eggs and bacon behind your laptop. 2 in 1 solution :D.



  3. legit crack on February 26, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    €3,375.60 fully kitted, and they still charge you €3.80 for a specific power cable lol



  4. Emerson-Biggons on February 26, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    It’s not available in Canada 😢 (on Amazon at least)



  5. Doicam on February 26, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    laptop with replaceable CPU lmao



  6. glenn yarzagaray on February 26, 2021 at 10:53 pm

    Man I want this laptop, right now I’m using Predator helios 500 amd, mostly for rendering and 3D work, but this bad boy is on another level



  7. Thuperman on February 26, 2021 at 10:53 pm

    My 2017 Metabox laptop is very solid no flexible keyboard like this one you demonstrated maybe not a good idea to upgrade to a Metabox again?



  8. Peter Shen on February 26, 2021 at 11:01 pm

    You can use the 5000 series with it?

    The LatencyMon results were what I was waiting for. To see this beast of a machine having really poor latency is going to be a bummer. I am in to music making, and I intend to use this very spec’ed machine (from a different seller though) for my work. Can you tell me if this score can be improved? Or should I be looking at another machine altogether? The issue is, this being an ideal desktop replacement fits my bill. 🙁



  10. Raz El on February 26, 2021 at 11:04 pm

    Hey from malaysia there’s a shop called Tech Armory which has a laptop that can be upgrade to 10C/20T it’s name was Commandos Glock 5 Ace Gen 2, for intel processor, just telling.



  11. Terryss on February 26, 2021 at 11:04 pm

    That’s a lot of copper.



  12. Junmin Hwang on February 26, 2021 at 11:05 pm

    So… you can try 5950x now.
    IF YOU ABLE TO GET IT



  13. E. Alexander on February 26, 2021 at 11:06 pm

    I’m praying that they’ll add Ryzen 5000 support 🙏
    And probably just in time for RTX 3000



  14. Cezer Kiran on February 26, 2021 at 11:07 pm

    115watt tdp is ruining the 2070



  15. Sangita Dahal on February 26, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    I bought a laptop dell g7 7790 of 144hz i5 rtx 2060 but when I open the settings and resolution there is only 60hz why?? Please help 😣 I bought the laptop for 144hz and there is no option for it I even updated everything …I am using intel GPU



  16. khankhattak on February 26, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    helios 700 hyperdrift with these cpu would be lit



  17. TUF Gaming Station on February 26, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    this laptop doesn’t have thunderbolt am I right?



  18. SubVersa on February 26, 2021 at 11:13 pm

    would be cool to see some undervolting-battery life



  19. Simon Arne Myklebust on February 26, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    wonder if this would work with the ryzen 5000 series prosessors



  20. adonian on February 26, 2021 at 11:15 pm

    wish I could afford one of these 😥I only have an Asus with Ryzen 5 and a gtx 1050



  21. Thanathorn Pitakronachai on February 26, 2021 at 11:15 pm

    My 9750h is using 80w on thin and light chassis No wonder it is thermal throttling.



  22. George Theodoridis on February 26, 2021 at 11:16 pm

    We are architects wrestling with how to enable working from both home and work. A touch screen, stylus option would almost nail our use case, which is falling in the cracks of how machines are designed but this gets close. Just bought one after your review.



  23. rd n on February 26, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    Wow



  24. Google Sucks on February 26, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    Was about to buy a XMG fusion but when I saw the beating intel was receiving from zen 3, I decide I need to wait and see if the Apex gets a zen 3 upgrade, also an apex 17 with zen 3 would be nice.



  25. R. SYARIF KAMAJAYA PADMASEDHANA on February 26, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    Can it change with new ryzen 5950?



  26. Kenta shimizu on February 26, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    no i love my back 3.5 kg nah that thiccccccccccccccccccccccc but powerful



  27. Meghan on February 26, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    wait should i get ryzen 7 3700x or ryzen 9 3900?



  28. Andy96 on February 26, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    Where do you live inside australia man, how did develop such an accent? ‘pruahcessuah’ 0:03



  29. Brad Beyers on February 26, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    They need to make this with the 5950x that would be siiiiick. Honestly the 5900x would be more than enough for gaming and creation.



  30. Sarm 1084 on February 26, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    Can the GPU also be removed and upgrades like the processor? I own an older (10 years old to be exact! lol) Clevo P170HM and it too is fully upgradeable. I was able to upgrade the CPU (Intel Core i7 2960MX I think) and the GPU is an MXM 3 interface so I was able to upgrade that to a GTX680M. It’s still running strong after all these years. I love Clevo. They make sturdy machines. I had it on my lap in bed, feel asleep, and dropped it into the floor years ago. Cracked the side of the chases but it has never had problems running. I would consider this new Clevo if the graphics card can be upgraded too. Love your reviews. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.



  31. Dany Deschatelets on February 26, 2021 at 11:26 pm

    put a 5600x in there!!



  32. Syazwan Wan on February 26, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    Can it use 5900x ?



  33. vampritt on February 26, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    5 years later, ARM with 10x performance of this THICC LAPTOP will be out with razor-thin chasis on emulated win10x64 on M7 airbook from apple



  34. Nikola Karovic on February 26, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    Here is Clevo user from 2009. Waste of money 0% support for upgrade etc, Cpus that trottle all time, gpu that isnt upgredable without bios edit gymnastics…



  35. Rmand 25 on February 26, 2021 at 11:28 pm

    jarrod 5950x please hahaha



  36. Family Oddoye on February 26, 2021 at 11:29 pm

    THICC-17 is better for the same money and bigger screen



  37. Joel A.K.A.B on February 26, 2021 at 11:29 pm

    Can the 3950X be swapped for 5950X on the laptop?



  38. 人偶A on February 26, 2021 at 11:30 pm

    can you put a 5950x into it ?



  39. kidwajagstang on February 26, 2021 at 11:30 pm

    Personally, my wish is for a BIOS for my Acer Predator Helios 500 that would enable Zen 2 (and, if possible, Zen 3). It shouldn’t be impossible if this system is found capable of handling them as the hardware in both is nearly identical with only small differences that shouldn’t make much of a difference over all. (Unless the Clevo having one USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.2 gen 2 to the Acers 3 USB 3.1 gen 2 ports, and a couple other similar tiny differences is all it takes to disqualify Zen 3 compatibility…).

    If anyone can put me in touch with anyone that is capable of making this BIOS a reality, I would be eternally grateful…



  40. Thinh Phan on February 26, 2021 at 11:31 pm

    Does this thing supports the 5000 series chips?



  41. Lefty Nugget on February 26, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Well the Cinebench R20 comparing mobile Ryzen and desktop Ryzen is just wrong. In real world performance I’ve tested a R7 4800H + 32GB Ram mobile vs R7 2700 +16GB Ram desktop using ArchiCAD for a 3D render, same file, RAM at 3200mhz on both systems, the render on desktop finished at 11 minutes, while the laptop finished at 30 minutes… those Cinebench numbers are really messed up, it seemed to me that the Desktop caregory has it’s own numbers while mobile does too. there’s just no way its X3 times faster on desktop.



  42. Satyam Kumar on February 26, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Can’t wait for the MXM 30 series GPUs.



  43. Alfredo Hernández on February 26, 2021 at 11:36 pm

    talking like a Papagai, make a pause please!



  44. Junior Colada on February 26, 2021 at 11:40 pm

    Now its make me wonder are this laptop can use 5950x now?



  45. dragon beast on February 26, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    Is it better than the legion 5?



  46. UV&Ozone gaming on February 26, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    Umm can you add try to add 5950x to it



  47. 1TGF43T1TGFFGT143TR UEFHROWHEF0931434 on February 26, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    I wish i kept my money from the past.

    laptop older version much suck like MSI.

    now damn , all laptop just like I want it used to be the design the system the function all just my like .

    AMD knows better about it user. not like INTEL.



  48. m4c1990 on February 26, 2021 at 11:45 pm

    Can you Upgrade to 5950X? Would be fggin awesome.



  49. Doug Larsen on February 26, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    "Which model laptop sir?" "Nicki Minaj please" – All jokes aside, its great to see Clevo still mattering with large cases. The fact this can run desktop chips and you can get it for $2k is insane. OH and removable battery.



  50. Recharge Games Studio on February 26, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    time to put that 5950x in that laptop and run tests again please!
