WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:10.639
I will explain this you know all of this

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:15.440
a little bit later lineus Tech tips coverage of CES 2016 is brought to you

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:21.640
by Squarespace build it visually attractive to the eye also known as

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

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:31.720
they have for gaming notebooks and they're showing off a couple of pretty

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:34.000
cool things so first up is the aus X7 DT

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:39.760
so the DT is for determination because aorus was

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:41.520
determined to take a desktop GPU and I'm

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

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:51.879
into not just any old 17-inch laptop because we've seen 980 based laptops

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

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:03.840
form factor so it also features a refreshed skyl processor DD R4 RAM m.2

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:09.280
storage it's got a 17-inch screen that same signature aluminum construction

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

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:18.439
performance now remember the thing about the gtx980 in a laptop is that we don't

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:21.920
know exactly how it's going to handle its power and thermal limits so maybe

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

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

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

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:43.159
got your mini DisplayPort and yes that is USB 3.1 with a typ c connector

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:47.399
unfortunately not Thunderbolt however at the back is power as well as another USB

00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:50.840
3 and over here on the left next to their G Keys those are programmable

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:54.880
macro Keys actually they've got some new macro functionality including like

00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:58.320
profiles that you can create for different um EQ settings and all that

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

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.160
3.0 and audio now the one thing that I

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:12.879
continue to criticize about a ORS laptops is the fact that they use a

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:16.879
glossy that is a smooth glass touchpad so they're half the way there glass is

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

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.519
similar to the previous X5 as well but

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:29.120
with one key change now it's still available in the Dual 965m SLI

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:34.560
configuration but in addition to some updated iio so again we've got USB 3.1

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

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:43.120
graphics card if you prefer the non SLI

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:43.120
gaming

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:54.360
experience which brings us of course to the last thing here in the aor suite

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

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:06.560
well not new cuz it doesn't exist yet but whatever up coming limited edition

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:07.959
versions of the X7 X5 and X3 the main

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:14.040
difference between these and the other ones is they have severely downgraded

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:16.799
the specs and it is all about the

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:20.720
looks just kidding it's exactly the same laptop so you get the same aluminum

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:27.200
construction but they're using water transfer technology to use this like

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:29.000
Super Hyper thin film and then they take

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:33.799
the components of the chassis itself and they kind of like dip it into the water

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:38.840
that holds the film on top which allows this camo finish that they've developed

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:43.959
which is actually based on a multicam like legit military finish to be not

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

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:54.360
but also on things like even you know fan or speaker grills without losing any

00:03:51.640 --> 00:04:00.439
of the overall pattern now each of these is basically hand done and they're not

00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:02.400
no two are going to look the same but

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

00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:10.599
anyway because it's like camo well actually you may have an opportunity to

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:13.079
influence future aorus designs so they actually allow you to submit ideas

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

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:23.199
a super like completely different design this technology allows them to do pretty

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:27.560
much anything it's really cool and depending on the region the specs of the

00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:31.440
limited editions ones will vary but assuming that the specs were Apples to

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:37.160
Apples it only adds about $100 to the cost of the laptop and makes it really

00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.280
freaking unique looking so guys thanks

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:44.160
