so we are on a mission here at CES 2015 to find the coolest gaming desktops here
at the show that are powered by Intel processors and I think you are going to
be impressed with the variety that we found journeying through all the suits
and show floor and all of that great stuff come along for the ride so we're
going to start our tour of what I think are the coolest desktops here at CES
2015 with the ASUS Rog GR8 and come on
you guys totally did that on purpose I'm getting the wink from JJ over there this
is the great it features up to a core i7 4510 U processor so not exactly your
most powerful CPU ever but look at this
form factor this is a 2 1/2 L PC and it
contains a lot of technology that you might expect as well as some that you
wouldn't it supports up to 16 gigs of DDR3 memory it's got a GTX 750 Ti
graphics card with 2 gigs of GDDR 5 RAM although it should be noted that
graphics card is somewhere between a mobile 750ti and a desktop 750ti still a
capable 1080p gaming box it features a
built-in 2 and 1/2 in SSD or hard drive and then it has an expansion Bay for an
SSD or hard drive upgrade and I'm told that we will potentially be looking at
raid support for that with a ufi update in the future and it's got you know
gigabit land AC Wireless all that kind of cool stuff but here's what you might
not expect unlike most desktop PCS this
one was actually designed by the Rog motherboard team so you're going to find
technology that normally you'd only see in something like a republic of Gamers
impact Mini ITX motherboard like their Supreme effects audio with their
onscreen visual indicator for where things are coming from their premium
audio capacitors the actual dedicated portion of the PCB inside that is set
aside for audio in fact it's even easily upgradeable so I don't I think the side
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
upgrading a very unus usual thing for a compact PC like this access to the extra
hard drive bay as well as the RAM slot there pretty freaking cool stuff and
small continuing our quest for awesome gaming desktops here at CES 2015 we
actually found one of them in a fairly unexpected place this is not necessarily
something you can actually buy unfortunately because it is a fully
customized case made by Richard suros also known as Darth beas but this thing
feature some pretty cool Intel gaming technology so we figur ah whatever it
kind of counts it's got a dual 120 mm
liquid cooled core i7 5960x it's got a
GTX Titan Z 32 gigs of ddr4 memory three
more 120 mm fans in the bottom here and this thing was made completely from the
ground up just to be freaking amazing as
part of cooler Masters case mod World Series so uh this is just one of those
things it's got dual one ter terab ssds it's more of a we just kind of had to
show it to you than anything else so behind me I've got the main gear shift
this is pretty much what you would get if you approached a boutique system
builder and told them yeah I want you to just build the most like Wicked badass
gaming machine ever and this is what would show up on your doorstep it's got
an Intel Core i7 5960x CPU that's an 8
core 16 thread chip it's got 32 gigs of
ddr4 memory dual gtx980 graphics cards
it's in this wicked custom case with a beautiful paint job on it the CPU is
liquid cooled with a Corsair solution that actually main gear has modified
with their own branding on there and in terms of storage I actually don't know
exactly what's in there but it looks like a wack ton of ssds absolutely
beautiful machine and uh based on how well it's handling shadow of mortar up
there in 4k I think it's got the horses to back up what it looks like it can do
now you guys have been asking me for a review of this next one here for quite
some time this is the Alienware Alpha it's kind of like a it's a PC it's a
console it's like a little tiny gaming machine okay it's definitely that last
one I don't know about either of the first two because it lives somewhere in
between it's got a core I3 Core I5 or core i7 processor a custom Max
well-based GPU it holds up to 8 gigs of memory you can throw a hard drive in
there actually the memory the CPU and the drive are all upgradable features AC
Wireless it comes with an included Xbox 360 controller and the whole concept
behind this even though Alienware was initially showing it off with Steam OS
is well we want people to have that couch experience regardless of what
they're doing so it comes with a custom UI that sits over top of Windows 8.1 and
allows you to change your system configuration launch Steam Big Picture
and basically use it without ever touching a keyboard and mouse which
isn't to say that you can't still use a keyboard and mouse on it should you so
desire is it the most powerful machine in the world well no the answer is no
but it also comes with only a 130 W power brick and a form factor that is
freaking impressive considering that for many modern games you'll be able to run
them at decent settings at 1080p on this
little tiny device our last top desktops
of CES 2015 was actually one we had a little bit of a hard time categorizing
we knew we wanted to include it in one of our top roundups but we weren't sure
if because it has a mobile core i7 quad core processor it fell under the mobile
or if it because it's a desktop because it sits on a desk it fell under desktop
but we knew we had to talk about this thing so we picked one we put it in
there this is the AG 240 4K Edition and
of course an all-in-one starts with the screen it's a 4K display 10-point
multi-touch MSI says this is exclusive to them but it's got DC backlight
control with up to 75% less blue light
so this is a technology we're starting to see in monitors but not something
that is typical in an all-in-one it's also extremely slim at only 20 21 mm it
features an optical drive it's got your full complement of I/O in fact it
actually doesn't look much thicker than a monitor but where things start to get
really impressive is unlike your typical all-in-one this features gaming grade
Graphics they can't tell us exactly what gpus is in it yet it's going to be
future 900 series GPU but not slouchy
graphics so you should be able to play mainstream titles like League of Legends
on this computer in 4k it's also got a bunch of their other gaming technology
hence the you know G sort of gaming
series red and black color scheme on it so it features their super Raid 2 which
is up to three ssds in raid zero it features their killer networking which
whether you prefer that or Intel networking is up to you but hey For Better or For Worse it is in there and
there's a couple more cool things as well so it comes with a color changing
keyboard as well as a mouse I mean are they the best thing ever know but at
least they'll get you going and last but not least it supports HDMI input so if
you had something like a game console next to your piece if you're a super
space saving kind of person you can go ahead go HDMI and you don't even have to
have the computer powered on and you can use it just as a 4K display pretty darn
cool thanks for watching guys I hope you enjoyed our top Intel powered gaming
desktops here at CES 2015 as always guys like the video if you liked it dislike
