00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:08,080
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2016 is brought to you by Squarespace build it

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,759
beautiful next to me here I have a

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,880
gaming notebook not just any gaming notebook a 17inch class gaming notebook

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:22,760
not just any 17inch class gaming notebook one with a gorgeous aluminum

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:28,160
construction but okay hold on a second glus all of this stuff is kind of stuff

6
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:31,560
that's out there what about this special

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:35,040
this is the first ever gaming notebook

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,719
from EVGA something that I didn't

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:42,320
realize until I heard about the announcement but it surprised me that

10
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:44,719
they had never done before they're the

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:51,160
only company I can think of with the motherboard and BIOS programming

12
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:57,079
experience that they have who has never taken that and turned it into a notebook

13
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:03,239
so let's run through what this puppy's got going for her we've got a 4K IPS

14
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:06,360
display up here like I said before just

15
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:08,320
a beautiful aluminum ID with a one

16
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,520
finger hinge despite the fact that this is quite a large model we've got

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:20,320
top-of-the-line specs we've got a core i7 Skylake processor 16 gigs of ddr4 RAM

18
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:24,079
it's got uh USB 3.1 type c it features a

19
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,079
256 gig SSD Bluetooth 4.2 all of that

20
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:29,560
good stuff but of course because EVGA

21
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:34,079
knows Gamers they were able to come in and do a notebook that doesn't make many

22
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:38,680
of the mistakes that companies that are new to this stuff make for example the

23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,360
keyboard has a really nice and Incredibly solid feel to it the speakers

24
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:49,640
are tuned to deliver Great Sound and from closer to the gamer than you would

25
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,920
normally encounter and this is cool yes

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,280
but wait there's more EVGA has implemented many of the same features

27
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,479
that you'd find in their Enthusiast motherboard bioses for example you can

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:04,479
move the mouse around in the BIOS you can overclock from within the BIOS that

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,119
is pretty cool so they've actually got like a superclock profile where you can

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:13,560
turn the CPU up to I think it's 3.8 GHz or something along those lines and they

31
00:02:11,239 --> 00:02:17,599
do all of this without it getting too loud that's the thing that they're most

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,480
proud of is how quiet they're able to keep this machine under a gaming load in

33
00:02:20,519 --> 00:02:27,760
terms of IO you got your power in you've got your gigabit Ethernet you've got

34
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:29,360
HDMI and two mini display ports and then

35
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,400
moving around over to the other side we've got you USB type-c very nice to

36
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:39,000
see that type-c connector finally getting popular here another USB 3 port

37
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:46,080
a headphone SL microphone Jack and a Kensington lock along with another usb3

38
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Port now the one thing that I think EVGA

39
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:53,959
missed the mark with on this one a little bit is that the GTX 980m graphics

40
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:58,920
card that's in here is not hooked up to a g-sync

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:04,040
display however EVGA says they are looking into release reling a follow-up

42
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,959
model with a g-sync display later on

43
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:11,920
this year so let us know in the comments on this one guys is there a place for

44
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:18,120
EVGA in the gaming notebook Market or is it too crowded how excited are you about
