1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,439
so we are on a mission here at CES 2015 to find the coolest gaming desktops here

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:12,400
at the show that are powered by Intel processors and I think you are going to

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:17,039
be impressed with the variety that we found journeying through all the suits

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,640
and show floor and all of that great stuff come along for the ride so we're

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:28,320
going to start our tour of what I think are the coolest desktops here at CES

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:31,000
2015 with the ASUS Rog GR8 and come on

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:36,320
you guys totally did that on purpose I'm getting the wink from JJ over there this

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:43,320
is the great it features up to a core i7 4510 U processor so not exactly your

9
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:47,079
most powerful CPU ever but look at this

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:49,000
form factor this is a 2 1/2 L PC and it

11
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:53,199
contains a lot of technology that you might expect as well as some that you

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:59,480
wouldn't it supports up to 16 gigs of DDR3 memory it's got a GTX 750 Ti

13
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:02,680
graphics card with 2 gigs of GDDR 5 RAM although it should be noted that

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:08,920
graphics card is somewhere between a mobile 750ti and a desktop 750ti still a

15
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,680
capable 1080p gaming box it features a

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:15,439
built-in 2 and 1/2 in SSD or hard drive and then it has an expansion Bay for an

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:19,360
SSD or hard drive upgrade and I'm told that we will potentially be looking at

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,759
raid support for that with a ufi update in the future and it's got you know

19
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:28,680
gigabit land AC Wireless all that kind of cool stuff but here's what you might

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,920
not expect unlike most desktop PCS this

21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:34,479
one was actually designed by the Rog motherboard team so you're going to find

22
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:38,640
technology that normally you'd only see in something like a republic of Gamers

23
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,240
impact Mini ITX motherboard like their Supreme effects audio with their

24
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:46,000
onscreen visual indicator for where things are coming from their premium

25
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:51,520
audio capacitors the actual dedicated portion of the PCB inside that is set

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,799
aside for audio in fact it's even easily upgradeable so I don't I think the side

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,680
nope there we go side panels unlocked I'm going to try not to break it here but check this out it even features easy

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,920
upgrading a very unus usual thing for a compact PC like this access to the extra

29
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,720
hard drive bay as well as the RAM slot there pretty freaking cool stuff and

30
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:16,519
small continuing our quest for awesome gaming desktops here at CES 2015 we

31
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:21,640
actually found one of them in a fairly unexpected place this is not necessarily

32
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,280
something you can actually buy unfortunately because it is a fully

33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,879
customized case made by Richard suros also known as Darth beas but this thing

34
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:37,680
feature some pretty cool Intel gaming technology so we figur ah whatever it

35
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:41,120
kind of counts it's got a dual 120 mm

36
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:45,200
liquid cooled core i7 5960x it's got a

37
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,159
GTX Titan Z 32 gigs of ddr4 memory three

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:53,319
more 120 mm fans in the bottom here and this thing was made completely from the

39
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:56,120
ground up just to be freaking amazing as

40
00:02:53,319 --> 00:03:00,879
part of cooler Masters case mod World Series so uh this is just one of those

41
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,920
things it's got dual one ter terab ssds it's more of a we just kind of had to

42
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,560
show it to you than anything else so behind me I've got the main gear shift

43
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,280
this is pretty much what you would get if you approached a boutique system

44
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:17,159
builder and told them yeah I want you to just build the most like Wicked badass

45
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:22,040
gaming machine ever and this is what would show up on your doorstep it's got

46
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,720
an Intel Core i7 5960x CPU that's an 8

47
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:29,360
core 16 thread chip it's got 32 gigs of

48
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:32,040
ddr4 memory dual gtx980 graphics cards

49
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,280
it's in this wicked custom case with a beautiful paint job on it the CPU is

50
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,360
liquid cooled with a Corsair solution that actually main gear has modified

51
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,200
with their own branding on there and in terms of storage I actually don't know

52
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:49,560
exactly what's in there but it looks like a wack ton of ssds absolutely

53
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:53,720
beautiful machine and uh based on how well it's handling shadow of mortar up

54
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:58,200
there in 4k I think it's got the horses to back up what it looks like it can do

55
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,599
now you guys have been asking me for a review of this next one here for quite

56
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:07,680
some time this is the Alienware Alpha it's kind of like a it's a PC it's a

57
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,480
console it's like a little tiny gaming machine okay it's definitely that last

58
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:15,079
one I don't know about either of the first two because it lives somewhere in

59
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:19,720
between it's got a core I3 Core I5 or core i7 processor a custom Max

60
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,520
well-based GPU it holds up to 8 gigs of memory you can throw a hard drive in

61
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,560
there actually the memory the CPU and the drive are all upgradable features AC

62
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,720
Wireless it comes with an included Xbox 360 controller and the whole concept

63
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,320
behind this even though Alienware was initially showing it off with Steam OS

64
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,520
is well we want people to have that couch experience regardless of what

65
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,800
they're doing so it comes with a custom UI that sits over top of Windows 8.1 and

66
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:47,520
allows you to change your system configuration launch Steam Big Picture

67
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,720
and basically use it without ever touching a keyboard and mouse which

68
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,600
isn't to say that you can't still use a keyboard and mouse on it should you so

69
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:58,840
desire is it the most powerful machine in the world well no the answer is no

70
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,560
but it also comes with only a 130 W power brick and a form factor that is

71
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,039
freaking impressive considering that for many modern games you'll be able to run

72
00:05:05,039 --> 00:05:11,600
them at decent settings at 1080p on this

73
00:05:08,039 --> 00:05:14,120
little tiny device our last top desktops

74
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,080
of CES 2015 was actually one we had a little bit of a hard time categorizing

75
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:23,199
we knew we wanted to include it in one of our top roundups but we weren't sure

76
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:28,120
if because it has a mobile core i7 quad core processor it fell under the mobile

77
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,240
or if it because it's a desktop because it sits on a desk it fell under desktop

78
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:36,479
but we knew we had to talk about this thing so we picked one we put it in

79
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,319
there this is the AG 240 4K Edition and

80
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:44,919
of course an all-in-one starts with the screen it's a 4K display 10-point

81
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:50,680
multi-touch MSI says this is exclusive to them but it's got DC backlight

82
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,280
control with up to 75% less blue light

83
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:57,240
so this is a technology we're starting to see in monitors but not something

84
00:05:54,759 --> 00:06:02,800
that is typical in an all-in-one it's also extremely slim at only 20 21 mm it

85
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,960
features an optical drive it's got your full complement of I/O in fact it

86
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,400
actually doesn't look much thicker than a monitor but where things start to get

87
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:14,199
really impressive is unlike your typical all-in-one this features gaming grade

88
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:20,479
Graphics they can't tell us exactly what gpus is in it yet it's going to be

89
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:22,199
future 900 series GPU but not slouchy

90
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:27,120
graphics so you should be able to play mainstream titles like League of Legends

91
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:31,639
on this computer in 4k it's also got a bunch of their other gaming technology

92
00:06:28,599 --> 00:06:33,639
hence the you know G sort of gaming

93
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:37,800
series red and black color scheme on it so it features their super Raid 2 which

94
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:40,960
is up to three ssds in raid zero it features their killer networking which

95
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,880
whether you prefer that or Intel networking is up to you but hey For Better or For Worse it is in there and

96
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:50,919
there's a couple more cool things as well so it comes with a color changing

97
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:54,400
keyboard as well as a mouse I mean are they the best thing ever know but at

98
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,639
least they'll get you going and last but not least it supports HDMI input so if

99
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:02,360
you had something like a game console next to your piece if you're a super

100
00:07:00,599 --> 00:07:05,680
space saving kind of person you can go ahead go HDMI and you don't even have to

101
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:10,560
have the computer powered on and you can use it just as a 4K display pretty darn

102
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,960
cool thanks for watching guys I hope you enjoyed our top Intel powered gaming

103
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:17,720
desktops here at CES 2015 as always guys like the video if you liked it dislike

104
00:07:16,599 --> 00:07:22,680
it if you thought it sucked leave a comment letting me know which one you thought was best and as always don't
