00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:07,040
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:11,320
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:15,080
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

4
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:22,800
linkis in antech Suite they've got some

5
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:27,199
cases and some case fans and power supplies and my voice is totally totally

6
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:30,720
gone by now we're pretty far into the show I've done a lot of talking so we're

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:34,559
going to start with the fan so they've actually updated their fan Line This is

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,920
the true quiet Pro right here this one I've looked at before it's extremely

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:43,000
quiet truly and it's really nothing new

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,440
this is the true quiet LED 120 mm so

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,399
this guy right here has four LEDs looks kind of cool it's not quite as

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,600
sophisticated as the true quiet Pro so you can see it doesn't have that moving

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,199
outer frame so you don't have those larger blades but it is sort of a less

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:01,160
expensive option and as far as led fans go it's kind of hard to find high

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,640
quality ones and this would fill in that Gap this guy right here don't worry they

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,040
don't sound like that I got something caught in the blades this one right here

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:14,479
is the true quiet UFO so it comes in a variety of colors and what's cool about

18
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:18,920
them is that it's actually not a colored piece of plastic they are all clear

19
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,640
plastic but once you actually power them up they have colored LEDs that make them

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,159
glow the way that they do they have these extremely gorgeous silicon

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:32,799
isolating mounts here in the corner you can see how soft and supple and the

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:37,560
delicious those are you know kind of you okay this has gotten awkward we're going

23
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,280
to move along um next let's move over to

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,119
power supplies here I'll say nothing so you don't have to hold that

25
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:49,399
there so one of the show pieces here is the high current Pro 1300 Platinum now

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,479
they've got sort of a bunch of their other stuff High current Pro 1,000 Platinum which we've looked at which is

27
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,320
outstanding their High current gamer series High current Platinum Series but

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,799
this guy if you know anything about power supplies if you've ever read

29
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:06,719
review on Johnny Guru you'll know how impressive it is when I show you guys a

30
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:10,759
how clean the internals are you know you can't see any sort of mess no wires I

31
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:15,800
mean where are all the wires inside this thing right now check this out fully

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:21,040
modular power supply OC link which actually allows you to link up two of

33
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:23,040
these things for a total of 2.6 kilow of

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,720
power just for the lulls right in case you needed that I'm flip this over here

35
00:02:25,519 --> 00:02:30,440
flip this over here hold on hold on it's not the impressive part yet bam check

36
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,319
that out when have you ever seen traces that

37
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:39,480
clean on the bottom of a power supply so an's whole thing about this guys is this

38
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,959
is state of the art manufacturing has all the features that you could possibly

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,200
want because of the 80 plus Platinum certification that means it's basically

40
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:54,319
up to 95% efficiency in places where they use 230 volt power and just yeah

41
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:58,560
awesome manufacturing on that one so let's move on to this guy p280 white

42
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:04,159
with a twist with window twist to be specific

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,879
so I've got a couple of looks like they put the demo back together wrong there's

44
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,319
two mismatched thumb screws you're going to end up with these ones with the plastic coating on the outside not the

45
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:14,920
other kind that I have here so what they've done with the black one is they

46
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:20,000
or with the white one rather is they've added a window they have kept the noise

47
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,159
isolating material the 270° opening door and they've left black on the case as an

48
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,239
accent so you still have the removable fan filter not a whole lot has changed

49
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,680
from the p280 just the color scheme has kind of that Stormtrooper look that

50
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:38,319
people seem to really really like and the side panel holy crap we finally have

51
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:41,040
an antech P something8 something serious

52
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:45,799
case with a side window I've been asking for this for

53
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:50,480
years years I've been asking for this and they've finally done it and to keep

54
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:57,560
in line with their philosophy of quiet Computing on the P2 PX 8X series of

55
00:03:55,079 --> 00:04:01,079
cases uh they've gone with instead of just a regular window they've gone with

56
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,280
a clean look no rivets no no holes drilled so they're using a 3M Adhesive

57
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:10,040
to adhere the window to the side panel and they're actually this is all acrylic

58
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,879
so it goes the entire the entire length and width of the panel so what that

59
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:18,560
means is it adds some rigidity it adds an additional layer for sound dampening

60
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:22,240
and it just adds some sort of overall heft to the case that it otherwise

61
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:26,320
wouldn't have other than that we've got a bone stock p280 looks really sharp

62
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:31,520
with the white and black color scheme but it is time to move on to the next

63
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:37,160
thing so this one we're going to play a little game the game is called guess how

64
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:39,320
much this costs so in terms of features

65
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:43,520
this case over here is I'm going to move over this way this

66
00:04:42,039 --> 00:04:48,560
case right here is the gx700 so in terms of the actual features

67
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:53,080
it's very similar to the M100 here which is a military green styled 1100

68
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:57,360
basically where they've changed the top fans to dual 120 so that it can

69
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,120
accommodate a radiator so this guy right here has a bunch of really cool stuff

70
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:04,520
going for it you got front USB 3 front USB 2 you got fan control with three

71
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:09,120
positions built in under like a sort of I don't know missile release sort of

72
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:10,880
system here it accommodates a top 240 mm

73
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,400
radiator these are kind of neat check this out so it's actually got little

74
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,840
Clips in the front that are not just for looks these will actually lock your

75
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:22,840
Optical Bay into place just by sliding it in here's something cool as well so

76
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:25,600
guys remember we're playing the the ho guess how much it cost game and I want

77
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:30,759
you to post what you think before I actually finish solid pieces of metal so

78
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:35,280
the front panel is actually metal not only on the 5 and 1/4 in Baye but also

79
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:39,600
this piece right here that attaches with four four thumb screws where you can

80
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,319
access the fan filter even this badge right here is metal and you can easily

81
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,000
pop it off and replace it with something else if you want let's go ahead and open

82
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:51,680
this case up so other than that it looks sort of pretty pretty standard I guess

83
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:53,039
seven expansion slots rear 120 mm fan

84
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:58,440
sorry let me get out of your way Diesel have a look at that I'm going to go ahead and pop this side panel off so you

85
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:04,840
got a rear fan mount it actually comes with three fans so two 140s in the top

86
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:07,240
and 120 in the back inside you find a

87
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:11,960
big CPU cutout you've got sort of the typical antech uh toolless sliders for

88
00:06:10,039 --> 00:06:15,639
your drives so there's five of those included they mount either a 3 and 1

89
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:19,639
half or a 2 and2 inch Drive ATX compatibility sort of yeah about what

90
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:25,720
about what you'd expect for a gaming case so you know very meshy very cooling

91
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:27,720
um the price for this thing is

92
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:34,080
5950 think about that for a minute hold on let that process the price is 59.50

93
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:39,520
so antech is going after people who want uh a featur rich case and are willing to

94
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:44,160
compromise on things like how heavy it is and how much it costs antech has on

95
00:06:42,039 --> 00:06:48,240
display in their Suite not just cases power supplies and all the stuff that we

96
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,440
know them for but also the antec mobile products lineup so we're going to start

97
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:54,800
with the pulse this is something that's quite new it comes in a wide variety of

98
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:59,360
different colors in fact what we have here in front of me isn't anywhere near

99
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,800
how many are available it's comes in at4 99 this is a Bluetooth 3.0 headset this

100
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:07,360
these are they are using leather for the top headband and one thing I'd like to

101
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,400
note is that in spite of the plastic design and construction up here they've

102
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:15,080
actually added more padding on the top headband than I'm typically used to

103
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:19,000
seeing and that coupled with the fact that it is extremely light makes it

104
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,599
comfortable even though I was actually I had to wait for my meeting for a little

105
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,720
while so I just put them on just for the lulls to see uh to see how long it to

106
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:30,520
see how long it would take before they'd get uncomfortable and I didn't actually have any issues with them whereas I

107
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:34,560
often even on my parot PHS I find them to be uncomfortable after about 15

108
00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:39,120
minutes or so on the side you've got volume control as well as your pairing

109
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:42,560
button and you've got uh sorry what was

110
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,560
the size of the drivers in this

111
00:07:44,599 --> 00:07:51,039
one yeah they're working on it okay so you've got a pass through using 3.5 mil

112
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,639
as well as a charging cable here so this is neat because when you're on an

113
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:58,840
airline and you can't use wireless you can use it with a 3.5 mil Jack and this

114
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,319
will give you about 6 hours of battery life so there's 's your button for

115
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,479
taking calls and this is pretty much what it looks like once you put it on I

116
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,759
think this is my color you know I'm a I'm an Autumn or you know whatever the

117
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:13,879
terminology is for that moving right along we've got the sp1 I've talked

118
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:18,599
about this before basically it's kind of like a jam box but more better um in

119
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,800
sort of yeah every possible way much better sound quality this right here has

120
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,800
no name and doesn't exist for all you

121
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:31,199
guys know here is the uh the pairing button on the back power in as well as a

122
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:33,279
3.5 mm in put and this thing is just

123
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:37,080
ridiculous I love it uh they've put much larger much higher quality drivers in

124
00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:40,080
it's more of a proof of concept that the factory can produce this and anything

125
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:43,200
else and before we leave here I'm totally going to ask to leave with it

126
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:47,040
but I'm probably going to get shot down so love to have something like that this

127
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,640
is great for traveling with whereas this is the kind of thing that you could

128
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,000
actually legitimately put in your living room and use as just a a random sort of

129
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,839
Bluetooth speaker moving over here we've talked

130
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:02,640
about the iso we've talked about the DBS here I'll let's take this from you uh

131
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:07,360
this is the gain so this is kind of like the iso except that you're not tied to

132
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:12,920
the headphones that it comes with so this allows you to take any headphone or

133
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,000
headset and use it as a Bluetooth

134
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:19,519
headphone or headset very cool stuff so you got track skip volume up and down as

135
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,360
well as the ability to take calls and hang up calls it lasts for about 6 hours

136
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,640
on battery and it comes with free earbuds although the thing that I'm more

137
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:32,880
interested in inside this box is definitely this guy because it gives you the flexibility to to use the equipment

138
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:35,640
that you're more comfortable with versus having to deal with some kind of a

139
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:40,480
built-in solution so you have the earbuds you know you like you know you

140
00:09:37,959 --> 00:09:45,200
prefer them then go ahead and stick with this next I'd like to move over into the

141
00:09:43,079 --> 00:09:49,519
antech mobile products charging products so these are we've seen these before

142
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:54,360
everyone's seen these before but these ones are a little bit unique I mean anc's background is power supplies so

143
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:59,600
these have all of the industrial protections that they're typically accustomed to including with a computer

144
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,880
power supply you've got over voltage protection overheat protection over

145
00:10:01,959 --> 00:10:08,079
current protection and unlike again so it comes down to that true power message

146
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:14,800
that they keep throwing at the power supplies it comes down

147
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,120
to actually delivering the say you know

148
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,440
the the amperage that they claim as well as the capacity that they claim with

149
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:26,240
these things so this guy right here is able to charge up to four devices

150
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,600
simultaneously and has 2 amps of output

151
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,560
so that means that you can actually charge your devices much faster diesel

152
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:36,320
in particular has a Galaxy Note 2 and he's found that the charging rates with

153
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:40,120
1 amp devices are absolutely anemic compared to what he's able to achieve

154
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:44,760
with a 2 Amp device so this guy right here is only two ports but is also

155
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:47,959
capable of two amps this guy right here is just a car charger so you know you

156
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:53,680
got all those protections that are included with it I mean another thing that antech brought up to us is they

157
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:57,519
have a a much more intelligent sort of design than we've seen with sort of the

158
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,800
the the Cheapo OEM ones for example it'll automatically turn off if you have

159
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,519
a cable plugged in but nothing actually plugged into the other end not all of

160
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,160
them do that it'll stop charging your device once it detects that it's

161
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,880
actually full so that puts less strain on your battery and reduces the risk of

162
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,399
any kind of an electrical problem because if a device is off then it's not

163
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:19,279
going to cause a problem so this is the power up 3000 so this is going to charge

164
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:22,720
your iPhone twice and this is the power up 6,000 which is going to charge your

165
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,839
iPhone four times and you can see for size actually I should probably be doing

166
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:31,320
an iPhone comparison if I'm going to bring up an iPhone while I talk about something that's a mobile prod and

167
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:37,320
iPhone related so it's about that big I think that pretty much wraps it up

168
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:40,959
