the ultimate gorilla glass screen protector for your mobile device we're
here from the Intel Booth again and this time it's not about desktops it is all
about next Generation gaming experiences on the notebook side of things no we
don't necessarily have an octal core CPU
in any of these but what we do have is Extreme extr high resolution displays
and actually very passible gaming experiences on notebooks that are
running at either 3K or 4K resolutions
so we're going to kick things off with the Lenovo y50 this is a model that
we've actually reviewed before this one features a touchscreen 4K display it's
got a core i7 quad core processor and a gtx860m
and I think the main selling point for this one aside from the excellent like
out standing keyboard is the value this
is one of the lowest price per spec notebooks available on the market and
they don't really skimp on the build quality either a very impressive machine
but if I only showed you stuff you've seen before this video wouldn't be very
interesting this is the ASUS GX 500 this
is a pre-production sample but it gives us a pretty good idea of what's going to
be coming of course core i7 quadcore processor it wouldn't really belong in
the Intel Booth if it didn't have one of those the GPU in here is an 860s but who
knows what kind of specs it'll come out with because this notebook isn't even in
mass production yet and is not due to be available for purchase for at least a
couple more months it also has a 4K glass topped IPS display it also has a
touchcreen although this one again pre-production not quite working yet and
the IDE of it is absolutely beautiful so there's a red backlit keyboard there's
top mounted speakers stereo speakers I should hope that any notebook in 2014
would have stereo speakers but this is the really impressive part I've been
saying for a while ASUS's gaming notebooks are great stuff like the g750
JZ awesome very powerful but they've really been missing a competitor to the
other thin and light gaming notebooks this my friends looks to be it next up
we've got a personal favorite of mine featuring a 14-in display that runs at a
3K resolution still much higher than 1080p but maybe not quite 4K is the
Razer Blade 14 it features its ridiculous level of lighting level
customization green back lit keyboard I think it has something like 13 levels
it's got stereo speakers core i7 quad core processor the most impressive thing
about this notebook in my mind though is the fact that it has a GTX
870m in it this is one of the only I think two products to ever win an
editor's Choice from me it also features a 10-point multi-touch display and an
EXO panel so you're not going to have to deal with the TN rotten Dee angles of
the original blade 14 absolutely beautiful machine but it might have a
competitor but we'll get to that in a moment for now the gs60 this one might
not be new either but the most impressive thing about it aside from the
870m quadcore processor 3K display check
out them viewing angles is the fact that
it is so incredibly light MSI actually did up a custom chassis for this that
features a magnesium alloy that makes it in spite of its size and its power
incredibly light to pick up it also has a multicolor inspired by Steel series
keyboard here that you can configure to whatever colors you want with some breathing and wave effects and all that
kind of cool stuff with software which leads me to the one that really grabbed
my eye this is the aurus X3 plus the
plus part is the part where it's like really kind of freaking amazing so this
is a 13-in display only with a 3K
resolution it's got a quad core processor it's thin and light and all
that stuff although not as light as the gs60 at least when you consider the
density of it but the most impressive thing about this one is that they've
managed to pack a GTX 870m into this tiny little form factor
they've made some interesting tweaks to the keyboard as well with programmable G
keys on the left side of the back lit keyboard I'm a huge fan of the X7 I love
what they've done with that form factor with the Dual graphics cards inside that
extremely thin profile but now they've really blown me away again with this
tiny bezel and extremely compact
design it's so compact that I turned it off by accident sorry about that anyway
guys thanks for checking out our overview of the 3K and 4K gaming
notebooks here at the Intel Booth don't mix any of our packs Prime 2014 coverage
remember guys our trip to the show here is powered by hyperx check out their
YouTube channel youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx they've got lots of great gaming
content on there as well as Phantom glass what I personally think is about
the best screen protector you can possibly get for your phone should
definitely check out our review of it but basically it's just a gorilla glass
layer that you slap on top of your phone and it has the same tactile feel as your
original Gorilla Glass phone screen except protected ooh
