00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:07,560
we're in the ASUS system suite and we've got a couple sweet things to show you

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:12,200
guys so these kind of go together but they kind of don't welcome to lonus Tech

3
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:16,600
tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:20,680
quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,199
technology and our trusted networking partner is

6
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:30,439
linkis number one is the Zenbook touch

7
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:36,520
so this is a full HD Zenbook it's running Windows 8 it is touch enabled I

8
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:40,920
I I love Windows 8 with touch Windows 8 without touch isn't as good of an

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,320
experience in my opinion and there's a couple things that were challenging for

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,440
implementing touchscreen notebooks especially at the beginning number one is it does add some thickness and you

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:53,359
have to meet that specification from Intel in terms of the overall thickness

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:57,440
of the unit so let's just sort of there goes my phone let's just go through and

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,760
validate sort of okay is it still super thin absolutely at its thickest point

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,519
it's just over the thickness of an iPhone 4 you still got micro HDMI out

15
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:11,799
you still got VGA out with an adapter super speed USB 3 DC in so there's your

16
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,400
power the front very very very slim ASUS

17
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:17,159
has done such a beautiful job of the finishing on here oh did you get that

18
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:21,040
did you missed that there we go you got it now all right I'm getting the eyebrow

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,920
lift that means he's got it another Super Speed usb3 headphones and SD card

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,920
at the back you find nothing very very very clean overall design they've

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:35,520
maintained that they have added a multi-touch pad so here we go now we can

22
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:41,119
use the Ultrabook the way that it truly is meant to be used because at desktops

23
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,040
the screen's too far away to really to really touch it all the time but with an

24
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:49,200
Ultrabook now you can carry it around like this you can sort of click away on

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,119
it like this you can touch it when that's appropriate so you can you know

26
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:56,840
go look at the weather and you you can basically you can use it however you

27
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:01,000
want I wouldn't personally buy an Ultrabook without touch so if you're

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,920
looking for Zenbook it's going to be worth the extra couple bucks pick up the

29
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:11,480
Zenbook touch what kind of specs do we have available with it Core I5 or core

30
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:13,680
i7 13.3 in for this particular guy and

31
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:18,400
as always it's running Intel HD graphics it's pretty hard to put like a you know

32
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:22,000
GTX 680 and something like a touch something like an Ultra Book backl

33
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,840
keyboard looks absolutely beautiful it's hard to tell in here with all the light

34
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,480
but if we were able to kind of cover it up somewhat for you you'd be able to get

35
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:32,959
a better look at that can you see okay there we go

36
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,360
just gorgeous so all right moving on to the very drive so one of the Prime

37
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,159
complaints about Ultra books and small

38
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:45,319
form factor anything is expansion you know oh yeah I love it but you know I

39
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:49,560
miss having you know hardwired gigabit Ethernet I miss this I miss that okay

40
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,319
say goodbye to all that because this guy right here is basically the answer to

41
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:59,239
your prayers it's just a little Allin one unit that acts like an expander so

42
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,120
instead of plugging into a dock where it's like this huge bulky thing on your

43
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:08,080
desk in order to get inre increased IO you just use this guy there's a SL a

44
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,599
slot loading optical drive in the top nice sort of soft touch finish on the

45
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:14,640
back so it's not going to go anywhere it's not going to fall down it's not

46
00:03:12,799 --> 00:03:20,400
going to move once you put it down on the side you've got usb3 here's the usb3

47
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:26,799
input and the power in two more usb3 so this adds two additional usb3 out uh

48
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:31,840
usb3 ports to your Ultrabook or your other PC Ethernet and you get more

49
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,000
output options that are using more standard connectors rather than

50
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,080
something like micro HDMI for example it's not limited to just being used with

51
00:03:37,799 --> 00:03:43,640
something like a Zenbook though you can use it with whatever you want but I

52
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,920
think anyone who enjoys mobile computer oh I mean check this out it's not even

53
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:49,840
that big so if you have you know like a backpack and you got your Ultrabook in

54
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:54,519
there you keep this in one of the other Pockets now you have the benefits of

55
00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:57,799
super ultr mobile Computing plus super ultra versatile Computing and I made

56
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:00,239
both of those things up so I should put a little TM so that no one steals my

57
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:04,680
thing so this has been another video in the

58
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,239
