WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:12.400
at the show that are powered by Intel processors and I think you are going to

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:17.039
be impressed with the variety that we found journeying through all the suits

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

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:28.320
going to start our tour of what I think are the coolest desktops here at CES

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:31.000
2015 with the ASUS Rog GR8 and come on

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

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

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:47.079
most powerful CPU ever but look at this

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:49.000
form factor this is a 2 1/2 L PC and it

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:53.199
contains a lot of technology that you might expect as well as some that you

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

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:02.680
graphics card with 2 gigs of GDDR 5 RAM although it should be noted that

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:08.920
graphics card is somewhere between a mobile 750ti and a desktop 750ti still a

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:11.680
capable 1080p gaming box it features a

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

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:19.360
SSD or hard drive upgrade and I'm told that we will potentially be looking at

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

00:01:21.479 --> 00:01:28.680
gigabit land AC Wireless all that kind of cool stuff but here's what you might

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.920
not expect unlike most desktop PCS this

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:34.479
one was actually designed by the Rog motherboard team so you're going to find

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.640
technology that normally you'd only see in something like a republic of Gamers

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:42.240
impact Mini ITX motherboard like their Supreme effects audio with their

00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:46.000
onscreen visual indicator for where things are coming from their premium

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:51.520
audio capacitors the actual dedicated portion of the PCB inside that is set

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

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

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:05.920
upgrading a very unus usual thing for a compact PC like this access to the extra

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:11.720
hard drive bay as well as the RAM slot there pretty freaking cool stuff and

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:16.519
small continuing our quest for awesome gaming desktops here at CES 2015 we

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:21.640
actually found one of them in a fairly unexpected place this is not necessarily

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:27.280
something you can actually buy unfortunately because it is a fully

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:31.879
customized case made by Richard suros also known as Darth beas but this thing

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:37.680
feature some pretty cool Intel gaming technology so we figur ah whatever it

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:41.120
kind of counts it's got a dual 120 mm

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:45.200
liquid cooled core i7 5960x it's got a

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:48.159
GTX Titan Z 32 gigs of ddr4 memory three

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:53.319
more 120 mm fans in the bottom here and this thing was made completely from the

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.120
ground up just to be freaking amazing as

00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.879
part of cooler Masters case mod World Series so uh this is just one of those

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

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

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.280
this is pretty much what you would get if you approached a boutique system

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:17.159
builder and told them yeah I want you to just build the most like Wicked badass

00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:22.040
gaming machine ever and this is what would show up on your doorstep it's got

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:25.720
an Intel Core i7 5960x CPU that's an 8

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:29.360
core 16 thread chip it's got 32 gigs of

00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:32.040
ddr4 memory dual gtx980 graphics cards

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

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:40.360
liquid cooled with a Corsair solution that actually main gear has modified

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:44.200
with their own branding on there and in terms of storage I actually don't know

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:49.560
exactly what's in there but it looks like a wack ton of ssds absolutely

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.720
beautiful machine and uh based on how well it's handling shadow of mortar up

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

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

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

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.480
console it's like a little tiny gaming machine okay it's definitely that last

00:04:09.239 --> 00:04:15.079
one I don't know about either of the first two because it lives somewhere in

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:19.720
between it's got a core I3 Core I5 or core i7 processor a custom Max

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

00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:27.560
there actually the memory the CPU and the drive are all upgradable features AC

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:31.720
Wireless it comes with an included Xbox 360 controller and the whole concept

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.320
behind this even though Alienware was initially showing it off with Steam OS

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.520
is well we want people to have that couch experience regardless of what

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

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:47.520
allows you to change your system configuration launch Steam Big Picture

00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.720
and basically use it without ever touching a keyboard and mouse which

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

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:58.840
desire is it the most powerful machine in the world well no the answer is no

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

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:08.039
freaking impressive considering that for many modern games you'll be able to run

00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:11.600
them at decent settings at 1080p on this

00:05:08.039 --> 00:05:14.120
little tiny device our last top desktops

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:18.080
of CES 2015 was actually one we had a little bit of a hard time categorizing

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

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:28.120
if because it has a mobile core i7 quad core processor it fell under the mobile

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

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

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.319
there this is the AG 240 4K Edition and

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

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:50.680
multi-touch MSI says this is exclusive to them but it's got DC backlight

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:52.280
control with up to 75% less blue light

00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:57.240
so this is a technology we're starting to see in monitors but not something

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

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.960
features an optical drive it's got your full complement of I/O in fact it

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.400
actually doesn't look much thicker than a monitor but where things start to get

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:14.199
really impressive is unlike your typical all-in-one this features gaming grade

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

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:22.199
future 900 series GPU but not slouchy

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:27.120
graphics so you should be able to play mainstream titles like League of Legends

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:31.639
on this computer in 4k it's also got a bunch of their other gaming technology

00:06:28.599 --> 00:06:33.639
hence the you know G sort of gaming

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:37.800
series red and black color scheme on it so it features their super Raid 2 which

00:06:35.479 --> 00:06:40.960
is up to three ssds in raid zero it features their killer networking which

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

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:50.919
there's a couple more cool things as well so it comes with a color changing

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

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

00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:02.360
you had something like a game console next to your piece if you're a super

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

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

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:14.960
cool thanks for watching guys I hope you enjoyed our top Intel powered gaming

00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:17.720
desktops here at CES 2015 as always guys like the video if you liked it dislike
