00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.879
lonus Tech tips coverage of pax 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

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

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:15.320
of stuff on display here gaming desktops

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.680
tablets all kinds of great stuff they're giving away over $40,000 worth of

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:25.320
processors throughout the show but behind me here I have the main gear

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:27.439
pulse 14 this is a bit of a unique

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:32.920
notebook because it takes what you would call a more traditional DIY approach

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:38.239
because obviously main Gear's roots are from sort of the custom desktop

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.640
background that they started up with and they've taken a lot of those principles

00:00:39.559 --> 00:00:46.719
and applied them to this notebook right here so let's go through the general

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:48.719
specs it's got a quadcore 4702 processor

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

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:59.320
760m which from a Pure Performance standpoint it should give you about

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

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:07.439
Improvement it still maintains a very

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:11.159
slim overall form factor doesn't compromise on iO so on the left hand

00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:17.159
side here you got your power in you got your ventilation HDMI VGA aha yes still

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:22.200
hardwired gigabit Ethernet two super speed USB 3 ports then on the other side

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:27.479
you find another USB 2.0 port card reader headphone and microphone Jack the

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:30.439
screen runs at 1,600 by 900 although a little bird told me it might be

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:34.640
available in even higher resolutions moving forward the keyboard is a

00:01:32.119 --> 00:01:38.680
chicklet type unfortunately not backlit but this is where things start to get

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:43.759
really interesting the pricing is extremely aggressive starting at 12249

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:48.759
and check this out on the back unfortunately the base model doesn't

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

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:58.320
premium automotive finish main gear figures their own shop is better than

00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.759
most of the shops in the Jersey area and

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.520
it is dedicated to to painting not only your PC but also potentially the

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:09.080
accessories that you acquire with it so check this out here's a Logitech gaming

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:12.720
mouse that has also had the same finish applied to it now that DIY spirit is

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

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

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

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

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:41.879
1/2 in hard drive in there for storage giving you an extremely flexible little

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.200
system guys don't miss any of our PS 2013 coverage remember we're powered
