00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,680
here at ces 2019 we've seen a whole range of desktops and laptops that go

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,639
from freaking incredible to genuinely disappointing and now it's time for our

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:18,800
roundup of the top five Intel-powered computers sponsored by Intel

4
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:21,920
starting of course with the orion 9000

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,560
or more specifically the orion 9000

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,640
hooked up to what acer is calling the thronos

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:35,760
this thing couldn't be more aptly named it comes with the core i7 8700k

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:37,440
processor an rtx 2080 ti like 64 gigs of

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:42,879
RAM or something crazy like that it's this giant tower but it's nothing

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:48,800
compared to the chair that actually comes as part of the package so for your

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,039
ten thousand dollars you get an awesome

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:58,960
gaming system a full set of gaming peripherals three 27 inch 144 hertz

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:02,160
gaming monitors and a motorized gaming

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,320
cockpit that not just has an ARM that

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:10,799
swings open and closed to bring your peripherals to you but it also has drink

16
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:13,280
holders a usb hub and even a zero

17
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:18,159
gravity mode where it tilts the entire thing back so you can be completely

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,920
immersed in your games the last thing that blew me away is that acer will come

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,520
to your house and set it up for you a process that

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,240
they say will take two hours or more

21
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,479
next up we've got the Corsair one pro so two years ago when the Corsair one

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:40,159
originally came out we were amazed that they were properly cooling and powering

23
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:42,640
a quad core processor and a gtx 1080 in

24
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:47,920
such a small package with water cooling too but since then Corsair has turned up

25
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:54,240
the dial upping the course to six and we were like okay that's nice but then

26
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:57,360
12 12 cores in the Corsair one pro and

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,840
they claim it could handle even Intel's

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,719
18 core processors if someone wanted to come in and upgrade it themselves

29
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:09,200
so this thing cannot just game but it can crank out renders streams and

30
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,400
generally hold its own in any kind of workstation

31
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,080
and generally hold its own in any kind of light workstation application like

32
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:21,599
video editing and when it is time to game the one pro is equipped with an rtx

33
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,440
2080 ti and they've got a 750 watt power

34
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:27,840
supply crammed in there that like the rest of the fans in the system can be

35
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:33,040
turned off when it's idle so it is darn near silent next up what if you want to

36
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:38,239
go even smaller than a Corsair one well zotek has you covered with the mech mini

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,000
crammed into this 9.17 liter chassis

38
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:45,280
they have somehow got a core i7 8700 and

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,840
an NVIDIA rtx 2070 meaning you can have

40
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,879
real gaming power at a lan or like dreamhack or something without breaking

41
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:56,800
your back the rest of the loadout is fairly sensible with 16 gigs of RAM a 240 gig

42
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,000
SSD and two terabytes of hard drive space to store all your games and

43
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,080
currently it's destined to be available in this black color in a month or two

44
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,280
and then they also have four other funky colors that could be coming if there's

45
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,400
interest keeping with this video's theme of increasing portability as we go ASUS

46
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:19,599
made this so the rog mothership it's like a laptop

47
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:23,280
but with the laptop bits moved up behind the screen so moving the components here

48
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,480
has allowed them to make it a lot thinner than the g703 that it sort of

49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,080
replaces due to the improved thermals that they get when the computer part

50
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:36,560
isn't being choked out by sitting right next to the desk the rg mothership

51
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:40,159
features a detachable wireless keyboard meaning you can center its position in a

52
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,200
more comfortable way compared to the screen and if you're worried about

53
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,799
latency by the way you can plug it in via usb type-c

54
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,120
of course it wouldn't be a desktop replacement if it didn't have the horses

55
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:58,080
of a desktop but fear not rocking a core i9 8950 hk six core overclockable

56
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,720
processor an rtx 2080 and three

57
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,519
m.2 drives in raid 0 through the CPU itself rather than all through the

58
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,599
chipset for better bandwidth the mothership can certainly run with the

59
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,840
big boys and we are very curious to see what it's going to be like to switch to

60
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,040
longer term once it's past the prototype phase

61
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:20,160
on the subject of prototype phase we've got the ASUS strix 240 hertz with almost

62
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:25,600
every laptop under the sun getting an upgrade to rtx 20 series gpus and of

63
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,840
course super fast core i7 processors getting them to pump out frames isn't a

64
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:34,160
problem it's having a display that can keep up but ASUS has fixed that by

65
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,199
increasing the refresh rate of their new strix scar 2 to

66
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,720
240 hertz like the responsiveness of the display on this thing is absolutely

67
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:47,360
incredible with that many frames being delivered to your eyes you have a true

68
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:52,400
competitive advantage in games like cs go and rainbow six siege and you know

69
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:55,919
what's even better it's not a tn panel meaning you get that added

70
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,680
responsiveness and fluidity without sacrificing things like color and

71
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,199
viewing angles now for those of you keeping score you

72
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:09,039
might have realized that we already did five but five just wasn't enough when

73
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:13,280
alienware came in with their area 51m and basically blew my mind

74
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,080
like sure it's pretty big as far as laptops go and it doesn't change the

75
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:25,680
form factor like the mother ship did but somehow they got a full powered desktop

76
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,080
core i9 9900k in this thing like look at

77
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:32,240
this that is a desktop socket like you could just you could you could buy a

78
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,199
lower end one and just rip out the CPU and and put in a different chip if you

79
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:41,840
wanted and the craziest thing is they didn't stop the upgradeability there because

80
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:45,759
the GPU and rtx 2080 they are saying can

81
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:48,639
also be swapped out with dell's not mxm

82
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:52,400
mobile GPU form factor so that means that assuming they continue to support

83
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,600
it which they've said they want to this machine could be spitting out top end

84
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,199
frame rates for years to come

85
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,360
and i guess that about does it for our top Intel powered systems at ces 2019

86
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:10,120
thank you to Intel for sponsoring this video thank you guys for watching it and

87
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:10,120
we will see you guys back at the office
