1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,839
we're here in the ASUS Suite having a look at what might be one of the coolest

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:12,200
things that we are going to see here at the show this year welcome to lonus Tech

3
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:16,600
tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:20,680
quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,199
technology and our trusted networking partner is

6
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:31,000
linkis this is yet another notebook from

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:36,800
a no I'm just kidding this this is the tx300 Transformer book so this is a

8
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:42,559
notebook it is a tablet so much like their Tai Chi you can use it in either

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,559
form but unlike the

10
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:49,280
taiichi you can now completely detach it

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:54,320
from the base so the joke I was making when we first walked in here because uh

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:58,239
diesel has a has a has a very large Android phone was this is probably the

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,640
next Evolution for you just kind of like yeah oh no hold on I'm I'm in I I'm in

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,479
an I'm in an I'm in an elevator sorry I can't you're breaking up sorry you know

15
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:11,640
standing there like that everyone sees this happening but seriously guys it

16
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:14,000
comes with a core i5 or a core i7 this

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,680
particular unit as a whole meets the Ultrabook specification from Intel which

18
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,159
means that it's extremely thin extremely light has those security features

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,600
includes high-speed connectivity in this case uh in all likelihood usb3 on the

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,280
base station but we're going to find that after runs for four to 5 hours on

21
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:35,079
battery which is competitive with something like a Surface Pro from

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,119
Microsoft except for the immensely

23
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:44,799
larger screen it's an IPS panel that runs at full HD 1920 by 1080 it has up

24
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,280
to 128 gig MSA SSD and pretty much

25
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:49,719
everything is in here now that Transformer branding you guys have seen

26
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,360
it before you know what it comes with you've got a couple things that you can

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,719
take for granted number one is there's probably a detachable keyboard of some

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,479
sort in this case the detachable keyboard has a keyboard it's got extra

29
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,799
battery life it it's got a touchpad it's also a Windows 8 machine so the

30
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:08,560
experience using this is going to be way better than on an Android device then

31
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,480
you got a bunch of other stuff there's a magnetic power SD expansion some

32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:19,920
indicator LEDs okay okay okay nothing that exceptional yet here we go two

33
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,800
super speed USB 3 ports DisplayPort and

34
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:28,280
full-sized Ethernet Jack so you can use it as a wired sort of dock station once

35
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:32,319
you attach it to the base the bottom is just a gorgeous brush Metal finish you

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,319
got that diesel yeah looks good looks good and the hinge as always on

37
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,920
Transformer products feels very very rigid and very solid so once without the

38
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:44,159
screen attached you can hardly move the thing it's very solid chicklet style

39
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:47,519
keyboard again something we've come to expect so the rest of the layout is

40
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,720
actually a lot like you'd expect from a typical tablet You' got your volume

41
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:57,280
you've got your battery indicator you've got your HDMI out so it's micro HDMI out

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,560
so you can do HDMI here or DisplayPort on the base you've got headphones out

43
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:07,879
micro SD which gives you two SD expansion options fulls size SD and

44
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,640
micro SD you've got aha this is a new

45
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:12,680
dock connector well why did they do that lius

46
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:16,200
I'm going to tell you why in just a moment as soon as I make sure that there's nothing else here that I have to

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,840
show you and there's your power button up there very very slim I'm actually

48
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,720
going to do this I'm in the ASUS suite and I'm pulling out my iPhone for the thickness comparison there there you go

49
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,959
I'm just trying to prove a point that the ASUS product is incredibly slim you

50
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,159
got that awesome check this out not only

51
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:37,959
do you get expanded everything else you get expanded storage by plugging it in

52
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:43,000
to the base station so it comes with I think it's a 500 gig hard drive so it's

53
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:47,439
got a one oh hold on I think I got that repositioned kind of funny so I'm going

54
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,799
to have to there we go it comes with a I'm breaking everything no one's looking

55
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:55,040
right okay good it comes with an SSD in here and a 500 gig hard drive in there

56
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:01,200
which means it really it has all the functionality of a full notebook and all

57
00:03:58,079 --> 00:04:03,760
the functionality of a very large tablet

58
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:08,239
or smartphone running full windows8 no RT nonsense because it's running a core

59
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,439
i5 or core i7 processor so thank you for checking out this video on the tx300
