our coverage of ces 2019 is brought to you by the dbrand grip and dbrand prism

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,360
screen protector you can check them both out at the link in the video description

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,120
we are here in gigabytes booth where they are showing off the latest

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,680
iteration of their arrow 15 gaming laptop and this is

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:27,199
actually an interesting one so it can be equipped with up to an rtx 2080 max q

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:30,080
graphics card and up to a core i9 8950

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:37,120
hk so yes my friends that is the unlocked six core hyper threaded

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,440
processor and it's all in this tiny slim

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,360
form factor how have they crammed this amount of hardware in here well

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,120
conveniently the unit that i picked up actually had the bottom of it fall off

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,920
while i was standing here getting ready to shoot so you can go ahead and take a

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:56,320
peek inside with me see look it has no screws in it hold on wait for it

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,920
honestly i did not i did not remove those screws the battery just started

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,320
like like popping out in my hand and i was like what's going on here so here's

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,400
our GPU here's our CPU here's the cooling for the vrm we've got a dual fan

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:13,439
design like we've seen in previous generation arrow 15s couple memory slots

17
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:16,799
we've got NVMe storage just a single one of those no two and a half inch storage

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,360
but that's okay i wouldn't have expected it there's only so much they can do for something like that but if you really

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,360
wanted to add more storage look at that you've got another easily accessible

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,360
NVMe slot but here's the thing

21
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:33,119
Gigabyte's main selling point for this is not actually just that they've taken

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,159
a very impressive spec and put it in a compact laptop as you guys might have

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,119
seen if you were paying really close attention there this

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,920
is the world's first ai laptop

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,920
so what exactly does ai laptop mean well they partnered with microsoft azure and

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,399
so they're kind of working together to share the cost of development here but

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,240
the idea is that they've got this demo here with this appears to be pubg

28
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:07,840
running 50 45 50-ish FPS without ai and high 50s

29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,640
low 60s with ai now i had some uh

30
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:15,920
questions about how exactly it would be that ai would make a game run at a

31
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:22,879
higher FPS and i'm going to have to consult my notes here for a second

32
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,200
so i asked what exactly does ai do

33
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:30,720
in a laptop and they said it allocates CPU and GPU power according

34
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,840
to the workload then i pointed out that normally while gaming neither the CPU

35
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:40,720
nor the GPU is power constrained and asked what benefit there would be then

36
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,480
the answer was well you don't have to turn it on if you don't want to but it's

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,720
designed to make life a little bit easier for the average end user

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,239
my next question why exactly are you running these as

39
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,400
pre-recorded videos rather than having the actual games running to show the FPS

40
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,280
difference okay they had a pretty good answer for that these are rtx graphics cards and

41
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:08,159
NVIDIA's not letting anyone run actual games on them fair enough

42
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,360
and then i asked okay what about other stuff and they were

43
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:16,159
like okay well here's the thing it's designed to be able to predict what a

44
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:19,680
particular application needs based on a machine learning data set and i went

45
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,200
okay cool so what other demos do you have

46
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:28,959
allow me so here we have an ai laptop versus a

47
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,239
non-ai laptop and they actually got rid of their

48
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:37,200
their pre-recorded videos and fired up adobe premiere for me so that i could do

49
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:42,319
a side-by-side test now it's adobe premiere cs5 and i asked why it was cs5

50
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:46,480
which is about 10 year old software at this point and i said well that was what we had time for and i kind of went uh

51
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:52,159
okay and we went ahead and ran our demo um as

52
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:56,879
i expected i'm not sure if i was the only one here but as i expected the ai

53
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,720
and non-ai ones finished the encode at exactly the same

54
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,360
time um so

55
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,599
really this whole experience has raised more questions than answers i asked um

56
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,840
why they finished at the same time they said well it's pre-production

57
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:19,280
and um i guess we're gonna have to follow up

58
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,359
and take a closer look at the ai laptop

59
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:24,080
in the future uh once it's had a little bit more time to

60
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,720
train its ai to do something

61
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,240
speaking of doing something i'm going to show you

62
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,479
my phone with a dbrand grip on it dbrand sponsored our content here at ces 2019.

63
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,160
their grip case is super grippy it's got clicky buttons thank you Colton i felt

64
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,919
smarter while i was wearing those um yeah super clicky buttons uh it's

65
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:49,199
drop it's drop resistant like basically Linus proof what else is there to say

66
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:53,120
about it oh right you can customize it with a dbrand skin of course also

67
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:58,160
they're showing off their new prism screen protectors they've got this great applicator that makes it easy to put on

68
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,639
it feels nice and glassy from the front but the impact protection that is where

69
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:05,840
the prism really shines so you could literally take your phone hammer a nail

70
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,320
into a piece of wood not that i'm recommending it and peel off your screen

71
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,639
protector which is of course dented to hell but your screen huh the screen

72
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,160
still looks good really nice check them both out at the link in the video description

73
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:23,680
