00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:07.720
here in the Samsung booth we're going to start with the series 7 Kronos welcome

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:11.639
to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:15.879
Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage

00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:20.760
partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:27.560
Lis so this is an update to their existing Series 7 Kronos that adds

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:32.279
touchscreen functionality as well as an updated spec you can get this guy with

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:36.960
up to tab of storage 16 gigs of RAM a core i7 it is significantly thinner than

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:41.039
the old one but even more important than any of that is the fact that it ships

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.039
with a Radeon 8870 graphics card with 2 gigs of RAM so while this looks like a

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:49.800
professional machine that you could actually not look out of place at a

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:54.039
business meeting with it is a reasonably capable gaming machine to say the least

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:57.879
in terms of IO you've got your power in you've got this Innovative little

00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.559
Ethernet Jack that pops down because the uh the profile of the notebook is

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:04.839
actually too SL for a full siize Ethernet Jack BGA out

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:10.159
again makes it suitable for business travel but also gaming HDMI out two

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:13.600
super speed usb3 ports a headphone microphone combo Port I want to just

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:18.520
show you guys the thinness of the unit with my trademark iPhone

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.640
comparison there you go nice big

00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:25.520
touchpad love to see that especially with these wide format monitors it

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.960
drives me crazy it drives me crazy when

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:32.079
you have a small touch pad however that's not really where this guy shines

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.560
it has a 10-point multi-touch touch screen biggest difference between this

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:42.079
and the older Kronos on the other side we find SD expansion two USB 2.0 ports

00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:45.880
as well as a Kensington lock we couldn't see this too well in the last shot but

00:01:44.119 --> 00:01:49.439
I've turned on the backlit keyboard so the backlight shines through both the

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.320
letters and around the outside of the keys keys feel overall very solid and

00:01:52.560 --> 00:02:00.640
actually wow look at that check this out guys so I'm going to do one of my trademark Flex tests so I'm putting fair

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.880
amount of pressure on the Note itself there's almost no flex to the unit

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:08.720
whatsoever so that really does show the build quality that goes into something

00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:12.879
like this Beyond just the actual specs that it runs one thing I missed on that

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:15.879
last one guys is the JBL audio that's integrated I'm glad to see all

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:18.760
manufacturer pretty much all everyone stepping up and improving the audio

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.599
experience that you have with your notebook right here we have their Series

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:27.720
7 Ultra Book and this addresses every complaint I could have had about their

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:32.000
last generation Series 7 Ultra Book one thing is it adds the 10-point multitouch

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:36.959
the next thing is this is not a TN panel anymore this is a PLS panel which means

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:40.280
that the viewing angles are outstanding look at this Orange right here okay

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:45.319
that's not going to work if I do it that way look at this orange I'm going to tilt this you're going to see it still

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.560
looks orange so that is how you're going to have just a totally premium

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:54.640
experience with this Mo with this with this model I hate seeing TN panels on

00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:59.840
high-end notebooks this is a truly high-end notebook it has an 8570 oh crap

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:05.000
I think I screwed that one up 8570 Samsung's upgraded Series 7 Ultrabook

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:09.159
has pretty much everything I could have asked for they've added dedicated

00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:14.680
graphics with an 8570 radon graphics processor with 1 gig memory it's

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:17.040
configurable with a core i5 or a core i7

00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:21.799
you can configure it with up to 256 gigs of SSD storage and last but not least up

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:25.560
to 8 gigs of memory but it's not all just about that so yes it's extremely

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:29.840
slim and that's all fine and good and all that so we'll do our traditional

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:33.280
iPhone comparison for thickness here I'm actually going to fold down the screen

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.879
just because it should wake up instantly because it has an SSD inside it there

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.000
you go extremely slim let's show the io so we've got one of those folding

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:46.319
gigabit Ethernet ports love seeing fulls siiz gigabit Ethernet on an Ultrabook

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:48.920
HDMI super speed USB 3 headphone

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:54.040
microphone combo VGA out with an adapter which makes it perfect for business two

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:57.200
USB ports Kensington lock and SD

00:03:54.040 --> 00:03:59.959
expansion okay so yes gaming on the go

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:04.799
yes Ultrabook touchcreen now so we've added a full multi-touch touchcreen and

00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:10.079
more important than anything else about it in my personal opinion is the fact

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.480
that they are no longer using a TN panel

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:17.519
on their Series 7 Ultrabook this is a PLS panel which means that when they say

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:21.079
178 degree viewing angle they actually mean it have a look at how the screen

00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:25.600
looks from here I'm going to tilt it like this it looks the same except for

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:30.560
reflection your colors are not going to distort whether you change the angle

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:35.000
horizontally or vertically you can still see the color on the

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:39.680
screen love high-end screens love dedicated gpus and I love touchcreen

00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:43.680
when it comes to Windows 8 machines so this looks pretty good stay tuned for

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:48.039
