lonus Tech tips coverage of pax 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:13,599
and steel Series so we're here in the Intel booth at Pax 2013 there is a ton

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,320
of stuff on display here gaming desktops

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:19,680
tablets all kinds of great stuff they're giving away over $40,000 worth of

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:25,320
processors throughout the show but behind me here I have the main gear

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:27,439
pulse 14 this is a bit of a unique

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:32,920
notebook because it takes what you would call a more traditional DIY approach

8
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:38,239
because obviously main Gear's roots are from sort of the custom desktop

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,640
background that they started up with and they've taken a lot of those principles

10
00:00:39,559 --> 00:00:46,719
and applied them to this notebook right here so let's go through the general

11
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:48,719
specs it's got a quadcore 4702 processor

12
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:56,440
so that's about as good as you can get within a 35 wat TDP it's got a GTX

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,320
760m which from a Pure Performance standpoint it should give you about

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:05,119
double what you're going to get with a 66 6m so it's a huge generational

15
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:07,439
Improvement it still maintains a very

16
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:11,159
slim overall form factor doesn't compromise on iO so on the left hand

17
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:17,159
side here you got your power in you got your ventilation HDMI VGA aha yes still

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:22,200
hardwired gigabit Ethernet two super speed USB 3 ports then on the other side

19
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:27,479
you find another USB 2.0 port card reader headphone and microphone Jack the

20
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:30,439
screen runs at 1,600 by 900 although a little bird told me it might be

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,640
available in even higher resolutions moving forward the keyboard is a

22
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:38,680
chicklet type unfortunately not backlit but this is where things start to get

23
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,759
really interesting the pricing is extremely aggressive starting at 12249

24
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,759
and check this out on the back unfortunately the base model doesn't

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,680
include the sexy paint job for the back of the notebook so you can see that is a

26
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:58,320
premium automotive finish main gear figures their own shop is better than

27
00:01:55,079 --> 00:02:00,759
most of the shops in the Jersey area and

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,520
it is dedicated to to painting not only your PC but also potentially the

29
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,080
accessories that you acquire with it so check this out here's a Logitech gaming

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,720
mouse that has also had the same finish applied to it now that DIY spirit is

31
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:19,080
back guys because the storage configuration of this notebook is extremely flexible in spite of its small

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,599
size so 14 in and very slim it can accept a 2 and 1/2 in drive so whether

33
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:29,840
it's an SSD or hard drive doesn't really seem to matter and two MSA ssds all at

34
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:35,400
the same time so you could actually run two ssds for boot and then throw a 2 and

35
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:41,879
1/2 in hard drive in there for storage giving you an extremely flexible little

36
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:46,200
system guys don't miss any of our PS 2013 coverage remember we're powered
