00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.200
our coverage of ces 2019 is brought to you by the dbrand grip and dbrand prism

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.360
screen protector you can check them both out at the link in the video description

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:15.120
we are here in gigabytes booth where they are showing off the latest

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.680
iteration of their arrow 15 gaming laptop and this is

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

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:30.080
graphics card and up to a core i9 8950

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:37.120
hk so yes my friends that is the unlocked six core hyper threaded

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.440
processor and it's all in this tiny slim

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:43.360
form factor how have they crammed this amount of hardware in here well

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:47.120
conveniently the unit that i picked up actually had the bottom of it fall off

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

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

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:59.920
honestly i did not i did not remove those screws the battery just started

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

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

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:13.439
design like we've seen in previous generation arrow 15s couple memory slots

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

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

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.360
wanted to add more storage look at that you've got another easily accessible

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.360
NVMe slot but here's the thing

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:33.119
Gigabyte's main selling point for this is not actually just that they've taken

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:36.159
a very impressive spec and put it in a compact laptop as you guys might have

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.119
seen if you were paying really close attention there this

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.920
is the world's first ai laptop

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:49.920
so what exactly does ai laptop mean well they partnered with microsoft azure and

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.399
so they're kind of working together to share the cost of development here but

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.240
the idea is that they've got this demo here with this appears to be pubg

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:07.840
running 50 45 50-ish FPS without ai and high 50s

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:10.640
low 60s with ai now i had some uh

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:15.920
questions about how exactly it would be that ai would make a game run at a

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:22.879
higher FPS and i'm going to have to consult my notes here for a second

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:25.200
so i asked what exactly does ai do

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:30.720
in a laptop and they said it allocates CPU and GPU power according

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.840
to the workload then i pointed out that normally while gaming neither the CPU

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:40.720
nor the GPU is power constrained and asked what benefit there would be then

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

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:48.720
designed to make life a little bit easier for the average end user

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:54.239
my next question why exactly are you running these as

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:58.400
pre-recorded videos rather than having the actual games running to show the FPS

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.280
difference okay they had a pretty good answer for that these are rtx graphics cards and

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:08.159
NVIDIA's not letting anyone run actual games on them fair enough

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.360
and then i asked okay what about other stuff and they were

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

00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:19.680
particular application needs based on a machine learning data set and i went

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.200
okay cool so what other demos do you have

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:28.959
allow me so here we have an ai laptop versus a

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.239
non-ai laptop and they actually got rid of their

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:37.200
their pre-recorded videos and fired up adobe premiere for me so that i could do

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

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

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:52.159
okay and we went ahead and ran our demo um as

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

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.720
and non-ai ones finished the encode at exactly the same

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:05.360
time um so

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.599
really this whole experience has raised more questions than answers i asked um

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.840
why they finished at the same time they said well it's pre-production

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:19.280
and um i guess we're gonna have to follow up

00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:21.359
and take a closer look at the ai laptop

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:24.080
in the future uh once it's had a little bit more time to

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:28.720
train its ai to do something

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.240
speaking of doing something i'm going to show you

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:36.479
my phone with a dbrand grip on it dbrand sponsored our content here at ces 2019.

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.160
their grip case is super grippy it's got clicky buttons thank you Colton i felt

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:45.919
smarter while i was wearing those um yeah super clicky buttons uh it's

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.199
drop it's drop resistant like basically Linus proof what else is there to say

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:53.120
about it oh right you can customize it with a dbrand skin of course also

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

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.639
it feels nice and glassy from the front but the impact protection that is where

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.840
the prism really shines so you could literally take your phone hammer a nail

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.320
into a piece of wood not that i'm recommending it and peel off your screen

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:14.639
protector which is of course dented to hell but your screen huh the screen

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:18.160
still looks good really nice check them both out at the link in the video description

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:23.680
