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

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

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

00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:20.680
quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:23.199
technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:30.439
linkis number one is the Zenbook touch

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

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

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:44.320
experience in my opinion and there's a couple things that were challenging for

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

00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:53.359
have to meet that specification from Intel in terms of the overall thickness

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

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.760
validate sort of okay is it still super thin absolutely at its thickest point

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:05.519
it's just over the thickness of an iPhone 4 you still got micro HDMI out

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

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:13.400
power the front very very very slim ASUS

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.159
has done such a beautiful job of the finishing on here oh did you get that

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

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.920
lift that means he's got it another Super Speed usb3 headphones and SD card

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.920
at the back you find nothing very very very clean overall design they've

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:35.520
maintained that they have added a multi-touch pad so here we go now we can

00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:41.119
use the Ultrabook the way that it truly is meant to be used because at desktops

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

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.200
Ultrabook now you can carry it around like this you can sort of click away on

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.119
it like this you can touch it when that's appropriate so you can you know

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:56.840
go look at the weather and you you can basically you can use it however you

00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:01.000
want I wouldn't personally buy an Ultrabook without touch so if you're

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.920
looking for Zenbook it's going to be worth the extra couple bucks pick up the

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:11.480
Zenbook touch what kind of specs do we have available with it Core I5 or core

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.680
i7 13.3 in for this particular guy and

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

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:22.000
GTX 680 and something like a touch something like an Ultra Book backl

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.840
keyboard looks absolutely beautiful it's hard to tell in here with all the light

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

00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.959
a better look at that can you see okay there we go

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:38.360
just gorgeous so all right moving on to the very drive so one of the Prime

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:41.159
complaints about Ultra books and small

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:45.319
form factor anything is expansion you know oh yeah I love it but you know I

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:49.560
miss having you know hardwired gigabit Ethernet I miss this I miss that okay

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:54.319
say goodbye to all that because this guy right here is basically the answer to

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:59.239
your prayers it's just a little Allin one unit that acts like an expander so

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:03.120
instead of plugging into a dock where it's like this huge bulky thing on your

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

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:11.599
slot loading optical drive in the top nice sort of soft touch finish on the

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

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

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:26.799
input and the power in two more usb3 so this adds two additional usb3 out uh

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:31.840
usb3 ports to your Ultrabook or your other PC Ethernet and you get more

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.000
output options that are using more standard connectors rather than

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:39.080
something like micro HDMI for example it's not limited to just being used with

00:03:37.799 --> 00:03:43.640
something like a Zenbook though you can use it with whatever you want but I

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.920
think anyone who enjoys mobile computer oh I mean check this out it's not even

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

00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:54.519
there you keep this in one of the other Pockets now you have the benefits of

00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:57.799
super ultr mobile Computing plus super ultra versatile Computing and I made

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

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:04.680
thing so this has been another video in the

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:07.239
