welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
linkis now we're in the MSI system Suite where we've got a few different
notebooks on display there's a gt70 here which has the steel series uh zoned lit
back lit keyboard you know it's a just generally a better keyboard than you
will usually find on a typical notebook right here though this one is gorgeous
so this has an Intel quad core processor it has a GeForce 68m actually just like
the other two that are on the table in front of me it has a killer Nick 16 gigs
of RAM a 128 gig SSD plus a 128 Gs are
you for are you for real yes crazy okay tell tell us about this storage
configuration actually it's got our super raid system actually it's got two
ssds running in a raid zero configuration so your primary plus a
hard drive plus a hard drive so your primary drives are as fast as possible
you could load um Minecraft in in like
really the the fastest possible speed oh good thank you I was concerned about how
quickly I could load Minecraft here we've got the gt60 which is basically a
15-in version also has the steel series keyboard also has a 68m and is also a
quad core now I'd like to move over to this little number right over here this
is the gx60 so what's special about this Alex I mean we can clearly see you've
got a bunch of monitors on the table but why have you done that the gx60 is
special because it's got the AMD radio on HD 7970m and using this mobile
processor mobile graphics processor you could actually run ifinity on a notebook
and this is something that's uh you know usually ifinity or any multi-display
gaming is usually reserved for desktop you know graphic cards and desktop
systems but this is the a first for mobile system now you're probably not
going to be running Far Cry 3 at full detail on something like this but from a
productivity standpoint it would be great to be able to plug in at home fire
up two additional monitors and so you can game on the notebook you can use
three displays for your office applications yeah but I mean if you were
running like a dx9 game uh that's a little bit less as far as the graphics
is concerned and even if you limit down the resolution of the the the secondary
monitors you can actually play at a you know pretty decent frame ratees very
cool stuff finishing up the MSI system Suite we have a couple of really cool
notebooks you might notice that they look very similar to the gaming
notebooks that we just saw before but the key difference is that these include
Quadro graphics cards so this guy is the k1000 and the guy on your right is the
k2000 what that means is when you're accelerating professional applications
you are going to be able to take advantage of not only the performance
acceleration you get from Cuda but also some of the quadro optimizations that
are made in the driver and in the GPU so Alex can you tell us why these look like
the gaming models the biggest the biggest reason why these are the uh look
like the gaming models is because the quadril GPU itself actually looks very
it's not sorry not looks it's h very similar to the desktop gForce very
version and the gaming notebooks have the proper thermal in place design wise
to vent the heat uh from the quadro chips themselves now I would like to uh
you know pull off a little magic trick and I'm going to pull the coolest thing in the MSI system Suite out of my
proverbial buttocks and show you guys
this freaking cool Ultrabook so it looks
like a tablet but they're calling it Ultrabook why is it called an Ultrabook
because bam not only that but you can
adjust the angle you want to use it at it's a little bit stiff so that you can
basically put it wherever you want so this is a core i5 what are you guys
calling this guy this is called the this is called the s20 slider it's obviously
uh sliding and and uh you can actually use it as a tablet you can use it for
for multiple things you know and uh you can also download all of the apps off of
the the Xbox Live store I think whatever
they call their Market whatever they call it I'm not I haven't used the used this this this particular setup yet so
so guys it's got an IPS screen 10-point multitouch and unlike a lot of tablets
check this out you've actually got things like Ethernet connectivity you've
got here we go again H mini HDMI you've
got two USB 3.0 ports so this really is
an Ultra Book cuz you have to build those into your specification to get
that Ultrabook stamp of approval from Intel but you can use it as a tablet and
what kind of battery life are you getting out of this guy uh it's got pretty good battery life it's good it's
a good five or six hours if not longer I I actually have not tested the entire
you know thing to its full extent you know but you can extrapolate based on
how long it's lasting here at the show while you're showing it to it one one
charge will basically last us practically an entire day's worth of you
know regular just messing around on Ms paint or
whatever all right guys so don't miss any of our CES 2013 coverage and as
always don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips and uh big thanks to MSI
for showing us around the
suite thanks for watching Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair
