WEBVTT

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

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

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

00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:20.680
quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:23.199
technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:31.000
linkis this is yet another notebook from

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

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

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.559
form but unlike the

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:49.280
taiichi you can now completely detach it

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

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:58.239
diesel has a has a has a very large Android phone was this is probably the

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

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

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:11.640
standing there like that everyone sees this happening but seriously guys it

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:14.000
comes with a core i5 or a core i7 this

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.680
particular unit as a whole meets the Ultrabook specification from Intel which

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:22.159
means that it's extremely thin extremely light has those security features

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.600
includes high-speed connectivity in this case uh in all likelihood usb3 on the

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

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:35.079
battery which is competitive with something like a Surface Pro from

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.119
Microsoft except for the immensely

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

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.280
to 128 gig MSA SSD and pretty much

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.719
everything is in here now that Transformer branding you guys have seen

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

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.719
take for granted number one is there's probably a detachable keyboard of some

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.479
sort in this case the detachable keyboard has a keyboard it's got extra

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

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:08.560
experience using this is going to be way better than on an Android device then

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:13.480
you got a bunch of other stuff there's a magnetic power SD expansion some

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:19.920
indicator LEDs okay okay okay nothing that exceptional yet here we go two

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:22.800
super speed USB 3 ports DisplayPort and

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

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.319
you attach it to the base the bottom is just a gorgeous brush Metal finish you

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.319
got that diesel yeah looks good looks good and the hinge as always on

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.920
Transformer products feels very very rigid and very solid so once without the

00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:44.159
screen attached you can hardly move the thing it's very solid chicklet style

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.519
keyboard again something we've come to expect so the rest of the layout is

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.720
actually a lot like you'd expect from a typical tablet You' got your volume

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

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:01.560
so you can do HDMI here or DisplayPort on the base you've got headphones out

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:07.879
micro SD which gives you two SD expansion options fulls size SD and

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.640
micro SD you've got aha this is a new

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.680
dock connector well why did they do that lius

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

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.840
show you and there's your power button up there very very slim I'm actually

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

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:29.959
I'm just trying to prove a point that the ASUS product is incredibly slim you

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.159
got that awesome check this out not only

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:37.959
do you get expanded everything else you get expanded storage by plugging it in

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

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

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

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

00:03:52.640 --> 00:04:01.200
which means it really it has all the functionality of a full notebook and all

00:03:58.079 --> 00:04:03.760
the functionality of a very large tablet

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:08.239
or smartphone running full windows8 no RT nonsense because it's running a core

00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:12.439
i5 or core i7 processor so thank you for checking out this video on the tx300
