Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital we're here in the MSI Suite this is their systems and this is the system
this I mean they showed me a bunch of other stuff and I was like okay yeah I can make video about this this this and
they showed me this thing I'm like yeah yeah okay we're we're going to get started on that right away now I can't
tell you guys the model number I can't tell you guys what graphics cards in it
I can tell you guys it has a core i7 quad core processor I can't even tell
you guys what this thing is made out of but what I can tell you is that it is
incredibly slim just like the gx70 it
has a 15.6 in non-tn display that'll be
available in up to a 3K resolution it has their Dine Audio better onboard
sound it has a steel series multicolor back lit keyboard with the steel series
engine meaning you can reprogram the keys to whatever you want it supports
two external displays at the same time over mini DP and HDMI and I fired up a
game on it and I can tell you guys that while I can't say anything about the
graphics because I can't say anything yet this one right here the gs70 it
feels a touch faster than that and that
has a 765 m in it so why don't you guys
take away from that whatever you will but this looks like I mean it is so
light that's why I can't tell you guys what it's made of it is incredibly light
and it actually doesn't even seem to run that loud now this is a pre-production
model this is not even finished yet but I am really excited and I am going to
basically tell these guys that if I don't get one of these for us to do a
full proper review of when the time comes I will be sorely disappointed now
just because that was the one that I got really amped up about doesn't mean that
there isn't other exciting stuff here guys this is their GT series which okay
it kind of looks like MSI gaming notebooks have looked like for the last little while but what's the difference
ah yes this here on the screen so I talked about the steel series keyboard
on that last one full steel series engine support now that means that
rather than oh you know we have five macro Keys here or you know two macro
keys there this one in addition to supporting um 16.8 million color RGB
backlighting on the keyboard with waves and breathing and all that stuff you can
now rebind any key on the entire
keyboard to whatever you want whether it's a simple remap or whether it's
binding as a macro you can set up an unlimited number of profiles and you can
do it all within the steel series engine software that runs right on your
notebook it is a steel series keyboard in effect now that might not be that
exciting because that's a pretty high-end model but what about this right here this is the GE series which has now
also been updated with the fully backlit steel series keyboard so at this point
with uh MSI's Next Generation gaming notebooks you are pretty much no matter
how you slice it going to get an awesome keyboard to go along with the powerful
Graphics powerful CPU and all the other good stuff in here and we're going to
close things out here with the first that I've ever seen uh gaming aiio so
this one right here has an 8970m graphics card in it it's got a
core i7 quad core it's got all the stuff that you might expect an AIO to have
well okay except for that powerful graphics card so it's a 27in 1080p
display and you can see they've actually got Battlefield running on here right
now although this particular game is not not very uh not very touchcreen
optimized it does happen to have a 10-point multi- touchcreen but of course
it comes with a keyboard and mouse that you could use as well one unique thing
about this from an AO perspective is it has a matte display so MSI has stuck
with this with their gaming series products whether it's on the notebook side or now the AO side and they've
received positive feedback from their customers so there you go it's back now
this one over here this is the AG 240 is actually a little bit different does not
have the matte display but what it does have is a small form factor so this is
only using a 24in display oh crap is it
24 in bollocks see I doubted myself but I shouldn't have it is a 24-in display
this one right here also has a core i7 processor and what's interesting about
this one is it has a Next Generation NVIDIA GPU so presumably this will be a
mobile graphics card because this is actually pretty darn slim but uh I think
we can expect to see some interesting performance so again Guys these are
gaming aiio so they have things like the killer Network prioritization that you
would find on MSI gaming motherboards as well as notebooks but just in an
all-in-one form factor guys don't miss any of our CES 2014 coverage our trip to
