Linus tech tips coverage of pax 2013 is brought to you by western digital Intel
and steel series so we're here at the Intel booth at pax
prime 2013 remember guys Intel is one of our sponsors here at the show so a huge
thanks to them for allowing us to be here if you swing by you'll have a
chance to well see me i suppose i hope that i caught you because by the time
this video is up i think that'll be over they're giving away a ton of crazy
prizes over 40 000 worth of processors
alone and they've got a bunch of great technology on display here in the booth
so of course everyone knows about Intel's desktop processors but they're
giving you a chance to be hands-on with sort of the new generation of Intel
experiences including things like super thin and light tablets as well as
convertible ultrabooks so if you're not familiar with what a convertible
ultrabook is one of two things one come
by the booth or i hope you swung by the booth and now you know so then i guess
we're not having this conversation and number two is you can look at me
explaining what exactly it is it's a device that is thin light has great
battery life functions as a notebook or let's see if i can figure out how the
mechanism works on this one there we go functions as a tablet
also being shown off here at the show speaking of thin and light i mean this
is still technically a desktop machine in fact it is a full fledged desktop
machine in spite of its small stature i know that because i'm quite short that
it doesn't necessarily look as small as it is next to me but trust me it is this
is the i buy power revolt it is using the latest Intel 4th generation core i7
processor in order to pack just as much gaming performance inside a tower this
size as you might find inside a much larger one in fact the unique internal
layout of the revolt allows it to not only run the latest core i7 processors
as fast as those may happen to be but also even the very highest end graphics
cards so it's available with up to a gtx
titan meaning you can have a phenomenal gaming experience even if you want to
run something like an NVIDIA surround you know three display 3d kind of
configuration ventilation is handled in a very unique way so you can actually
see over here on this side that is pretty much entirely mesh over here
above the key component so the CPU is actually right below here and if you
come around to the back here you're going to see that the internal configuration of this case whoa hold on
a minute what's going on here is very unique indeed so it uses a mini itx
motherboard a pci express extension cable and whoa
the graphics card is in line with the motherboard what happened how in the
heck does this work it also uses a very very tiny power supply you're going to
have to be running extremely efficient components in order to make sure that
you're cooling them adequately with a tiny little fan like that while still
being able to provide enough power for all the beefy gaming goodness that you
might want and another thing to mention is that if you check us out on the Linus
tech tips forum find the thread about the Intel packs giveaways because
there's one that Intel's running on twitter where you can win an ibuypower
system and there's a second one that we're running on the forum exclusively
to win a main gear system so both of those go check them out they will still
be available to enter even after the show so if you're watching this a little
bit late you can still win something don't miss any of our show coverage
we're powered here at the show by western digital Intel and steel series
so once again a huge thanks to those guys for making this possible
