00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:08.080
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2016 is brought to you by Squarespace build it

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:10.759
beautiful next to me here I have a

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:16.880
gaming notebook not just any gaming notebook a 17inch class gaming notebook

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:22.760
not just any 17inch class gaming notebook one with a gorgeous aluminum

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:28.160
construction but okay hold on a second glus all of this stuff is kind of stuff

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:31.560
that's out there what about this special

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:35.040
this is the first ever gaming notebook

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:36.719
from EVGA something that I didn't

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:42.320
realize until I heard about the announcement but it surprised me that

00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:44.719
they had never done before they're the

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:51.160
only company I can think of with the motherboard and BIOS programming

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:57.079
experience that they have who has never taken that and turned it into a notebook

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

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:06.360
display up here like I said before just

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:08.320
a beautiful aluminum ID with a one

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.520
finger hinge despite the fact that this is quite a large model we've got

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

00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:24.079
it's got uh USB 3.1 type c it features a

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:27.079
256 gig SSD Bluetooth 4.2 all of that

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:29.560
good stuff but of course because EVGA

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

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:38.680
of the mistakes that companies that are new to this stuff make for example the

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:44.360
keyboard has a really nice and Incredibly solid feel to it the speakers

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:49.640
are tuned to deliver Great Sound and from closer to the gamer than you would

00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:51.920
normally encounter and this is cool yes

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.280
but wait there's more EVGA has implemented many of the same features

00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.479
that you'd find in their Enthusiast motherboard bioses for example you can

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:04.479
move the mouse around in the BIOS you can overclock from within the BIOS that

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.119
is pretty cool so they've actually got like a superclock profile where you can

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

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

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

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

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.360
HDMI and two mini display ports and then

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

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:39.000
see that type-c connector finally getting popular here another USB 3 port

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:46.080
a headphone SL microphone Jack and a Kensington lock along with another usb3

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.680
Port now the one thing that I think EVGA

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.959
missed the mark with on this one a little bit is that the GTX 980m graphics

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:58.920
card that's in here is not hooked up to a g-sync

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:04.040
display however EVGA says they are looking into release reling a follow-up

00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:06.959
model with a g-sync display later on

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

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:18.120
