00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:12,280
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:16,800
Digital we're kicking things off here in the ASUS system Suite with the

4
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:18,840
Transformer book duet td300 the first

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,080
transforming device that I really see myself using the transforming

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:28,320
functionality of pretty much on a daily basis it can handle being a Windows 8.1

7
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:31,400
notebook or tablet and it can handle

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,559
being an Android notebook or tablet and

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:37,840
you can switch between them all very very quickly and seamlessly in terms of

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:43,039
Hardware it can handle an Intel core I3 I5 or i7 processor it's got 4 gigs of

11
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,840
RAM you can put SSD based storage in the top while it'll come with that and it

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,960
also comes with hard drive based storage in the keyboard dock itself so that

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:56,320
gives you the best of both worlds and finally it has a 1080p full HD display

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,000
on this particular one although they've got sort of like a slash on the card so

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,040
I think it'll also be available in a 13 66 X 768 model so I want to show you

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,960
guys how exactly the transformation Works to detach the clam shell all you

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,479
do is press the button in the middle this is actually better than many of the

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,119
Transformer mechanisms I've seen from ASUS in the past and then you can

19
00:01:14,119 --> 00:01:20,320
reattach it simply by latching it back in place at which time you'll see the

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,320
storage inside the keyboard dock is detected now to transform between

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,920
Windows and Android is actually a bit of a treat so it only takes about 4

22
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:33,240
seconds you press this little button button yes there is an app for that

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,280
completely changing your OS and all of a sudden you go from Windows 8.1 to

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:43,000
Android and you can imagine Android is going to absolutely fly on something

25
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:48,880
like a core i7 processor so then to switch back between Android and

26
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:55,000
Windows we go ahead and press the OS Switch app and within about 4 seconds we

27
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:56,799
are back in Windows 8.1 very very cool

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,560
let's finish this up with a quick look at what we've got in terms of IO on the

29
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:04,200
left hand side we've got gigabit Ethernet USB 3 super speed and HDMI as

30
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:07,759
well as power in and then on the right hand side we've got a keyboard I should

31
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:11,200
I say keyboard well we've got a USB port you could technically plug a keyboard

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:17,120
into that as well as a microphone headphone combo Jack next up we've got

33
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,959
the g750 JZ the unique thing about this

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,560
notebook is that it does not come in a box it comes with a

35
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:29,239
wrapper sorry for that anyway it comes with a core i7 processor it supports up

36
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,800
to two 2 and 1/2 in drives so in the US that'll probably

37
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,519
equate to a large SSD with a large hard drive although the final specs are not

38
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:39,519
necessarily available yet particularly

39
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:44,760
with regards to the graphics card so it has a Next Generation presumably very

40
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:50,000
high-end to go along with the rest of the high-end specs graphics card from am

41
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:54,360
I allowed to say who it's even from yes it is from NVIDIA so I'm sure you guys

42
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:58,480
can all use your vivid imaginations to figure out what that's likely to be it

43
00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:03,319
supports up to 32 gigabytes of memory so it has eight dim slots it's got a full

44
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:08,319
HD display it runs Windows 8.1 it's got a Blu-ray Drive and of course it has the

45
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:13,200
ID that we have come to expect from ASUS gaming notebooks with the business in

46
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:18,040
the front that is to say your full layout keyboard including a number pad

47
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:21,159
nice large trackpad and the party in the back so that's where you're going to

48
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:25,920
have all of the cooling including your ventilation as well as your fans that

49
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:30,599
keep ASUS gaming notebooks particularly cool running now it's not that thin but

50
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:34,239
this is yet another hint about that graphics card with the kind of Graphics

51
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,280
horsepower that this notebook is likely to have putting it in an extremely thin

52
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,640
form factor might not be possible and if you're looking for the ultimate ortable

53
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,360
graphics with a fourth gen aswell processor and a fantastic Next

54
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:52,959
Generation graphics card this looks like it should be it next up we're here with

55
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:57,040
the m8a which may be the ultimate notetaking tablet for example it

56
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,840
features a 5 megapixel camera on the back okay no we've seen this before what

57
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:04,720
it actually has that's a little bit on the unique side is a quad core betay

58
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:09,879
Trail processor it's got 2 gigs of RAM it's available in 32 gig or 64 gig

59
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:16,440
configurations it has a 1280x 800 resolution IPS display and most

60
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:22,680
importantly of all it has a walkom digitizer so that is

61
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:25,280
1,24 levels of pressure sensitivity and

62
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:30,240
it means that you can use a passive pen in order to achieve said desirable many

63
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:34,720
levels of pressure Sensi ensity so that means you can draw notes you can write

64
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:39,800
notes you can take pictures of notes because this is running on an x86

65
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,240
compatible architecture it comes so not

66
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,800
only is it compatible with Microsoft Office it comes with Microsoft Office so

67
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:48,880
you can use a Bluetooth keyboard to type your notes and I think that pretty much

68
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,199
oh yeah all of that and it'll like basically fit into a little sleeve in

69
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:56,639
your backpack or a large coat pocket thanks for checking out our coverage of

70
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,240
the ASUS system Suite don't forget that our trip to the show is powered by

71
