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 this is part two of the ASUS component Suite which you might notice
has more systems in it than components sometimes I'm not 100% sure how they
divide these things up anyway this is the M70 desktop PC from isus and I'll
tell you guys that there's no way you can really differentiate a desktop
system based on you know oh well you know we put a processor and RAM in it
well so did everyone else well ASUS is trying to do a few things differently
with this one so number one is the fact that it comes with a fan sticking
vertically out the top of it this is the first time we've seen this design ever
and what's more unique about this is the fact that guys no it does not come with
the fan this is aqi standard wireless
charging point so they've got a little uh coil rigged up here on the bottom of
this fan and they're just showing off how it works if we had a phone all we'd
have to do is pop it down on top and Not only would it charge but there's also an
NFC pad there as well so you can use it for things like unlocking your uh your
PC you can use it for things like launching apps or for transferring your
files and photos and cool stuff like that so it's got charging and nfv NFC on
the top the last thing that's really unique about this system is the fact
that it has a builtin UPS no not a PSU a
UPS is completely different it has a built-in battery backup that they
actually tested earlier today and found that it'll run for about 8 minutes this
gives you an opportunity even in the event of a complete power failure to
back up your data before you lose it which I think is pretty darn cool so
there you go it's a desktop PC okay it's got a core I 74770 it's got a GTX 650
and all that kind of stuff but more importantly it has features that might
actually enhance the way you use your PC for this next product we have a couple
of things that are new number one is the
new Transformer p802 aiio so it's been
updated with a fourth generation series Intel processor inside so that's code
name Haswell as well as a teger 4 processor because I don't know if you
guys remember this or not but the Transformer AIO features a full Windows
8 PC in the base station as a standalone
18.4 in tablet the other thing that is new about this particular video is our
Vanna White Vanna you've put on some weight what do you have to say about
that I've been uh trying a new diet out
it's not working also you're much hairier than before well it involves
mostly eating uh poutine which I find
delicious the last thing to tell you guys here that's uh pretty darn cool
because isus got so many requests I'm just going to cover up Vana here with
this very cool product they are now releasing the Transformer aio's tablet
as a standalone 21 1/2 in Android tablet
in addition to allowing you to buy it with the bay station so if all you
wanted was a gigantic tablet Now's the Time finishing up part
two of our ASUS component Suite tour we have the RT
ac87u we don't know much about this
other than the fact that it is dualband 4x4 so that's four antennas also it has
the ability to dynamically allocate its
Wireless bandwidth according to the speed of the client on the other side or
at least the connectivity type of the client on the other side we don't know
what it looks like because this is not the finished industrial design and we
don't know pricing but we could probably extrapolate based on other you know AC
top-of-the-line ASUS rers it'll be somewhere in the neighborhood of 220 or
so dollars and it will be faster than we've ever seen before guys don't miss
