1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,840
all right so we're here in the Gigabyte Suite actually well we're only sort of in the Gigabyte suite and uh don't worry

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,639
I will explain this you know all of this

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:15,440
a little bit later lineus Tech tips coverage of CES 2016 is brought to you

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:21,640
by Squarespace build it visually attractive to the eye also known as

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:26,199
beautiful so we're actually on the aorus side of things that's a sub brand that

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:31,720
they have for gaming notebooks and they're showing off a couple of pretty

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:34,000
cool things so first up is the aus X7 DT

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:39,760
so the DT is for determination because aorus was

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:41,520
determined to take a desktop GPU and I'm

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:47,280
sure the DT has nothing to do with that in this case the GTX 980 and cram it

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:51,879
into not just any old 17-inch laptop because we've seen 980 based laptops

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:57,680
kind of all over the place at this point but to do it in their signature thinner

13
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:03,840
form factor so it also features a refreshed skyl processor DD R4 RAM m.2

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:09,280
storage it's got a 17-inch screen that same signature aluminum construction

15
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:13,600
that is as beautiful to the touch as it is to the eye but now with even more

16
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,439
performance now remember the thing about the gtx980 in a laptop is that we don't

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,920
know exactly how it's going to handle its power and thermal limits so maybe

18
00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:27,560
we'll have to check this one out in the future let me know if you guys want to see that but I am definitely excited to

19
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:30,840
see where they're going with this one in terms of IO they've made some upgrades

20
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:36,439
as well so on the right side you've got your USB 3 you've got your HDMI you've

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:43,159
got your mini DisplayPort and yes that is USB 3.1 with a typ c connector

22
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:47,399
unfortunately not Thunderbolt however at the back is power as well as another USB

23
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:50,840
3 and over here on the left next to their G Keys those are programmable

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,880
macro Keys actually they've got some new macro functionality including like

25
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:58,320
profiles that you can create for different um EQ settings and all that

26
00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:06,280
depending on applications that you laun so that's kind of neat then they've got gigabit Ethernet HDMI VGA another USB

27
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,160
3.0 and audio now the one thing that I

28
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,879
continue to criticize about a ORS laptops is the fact that they use a

29
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:16,879
glossy that is a smooth glass touchpad so they're half the way there glass is

30
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:21,599
good but I'd like to see frosted they've got another model here that's pretty

31
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,519
similar to the previous X5 as well but

32
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:29,120
with one key change now it's still available in the Dual 965m SLI

33
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:34,560
configuration but in addition to some updated iio so again we've got USB 3.1

34
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:40,480
type c this time over on the left side this puppy features up to a 970m single

35
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,120
graphics card if you prefer the non SLI

36
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120
gaming

37
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,360
experience which brings us of course to the last thing here in the aor suite

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,040
that we're talking about and the reason for the get up here this is their new

39
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:06,560
well not new cuz it doesn't exist yet but whatever up coming limited edition

40
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,959
versions of the X7 X5 and X3 the main

41
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:14,040
difference between these and the other ones is they have severely downgraded

42
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,799
the specs and it is all about the

43
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,720
looks just kidding it's exactly the same laptop so you get the same aluminum

44
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:27,200
construction but they're using water transfer technology to use this like

45
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:29,000
Super Hyper thin film and then they take

46
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,799
the components of the chassis itself and they kind of like dip it into the water

47
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:38,840
that holds the film on top which allows this camo finish that they've developed

48
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,959
which is actually based on a multicam like legit military finish to be not

49
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:48,480
only on the flat surfaces like you'd be able to do with a traditional vinyl wrap

50
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:54,360
but also on things like even you know fan or speaker grills without losing any

51
00:03:51,640 --> 00:04:00,439
of the overall pattern now each of these is basically hand done and they're not

52
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:02,400
no two are going to look the same but

53
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:05,840
with that said if you guys are like well I wouldn't want to look the same as that

54
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:10,599
anyway because it's like camo well actually you may have an opportunity to

55
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,079
influence future aorus designs so they actually allow you to submit ideas

56
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:18,880
through their form that's where this whole thing came from and if you're like yeah you know I'd love one that had like

57
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,199
a super like completely different design this technology allows them to do pretty

58
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:27,560
much anything it's really cool and depending on the region the specs of the

59
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:31,440
limited editions ones will vary but assuming that the specs were Apples to

60
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:37,160
Apples it only adds about $100 to the cost of the laptop and makes it really

61
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,280
freaking unique looking so guys thanks

62
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,160
