myself and many of you spend more time than we'd like to admit at a desk using a computer yet the chair and desk with a monitor has been basically exactly the same for decades that is until I saw this and admittedly other similar products The Cooler Master orvex is a fifteen thousand dollar 700 pound computer desk egg cockpit thing that's on a mission to perfect and enhance the computer user experience and I kind of like it the tagline for the orbex is where luxury meets technology and on first glance I kind of think they nailed that this thing looks like a captain's chair in a freaking spaceship now I mean that in a good way just look at all this addressable RGB I got the remote here because I'm ready but right now this is in its closed form but with the push of a button the motorized shuttle Dome as they're calling it opens right up and we can get inside as soon as you sit down and get the seat adjusted more on that later it feels very immersive but not like in a claustrophobic way I mean it's tight but it's also very open air and kind of comfortable at the same time you know you got a breeze going through it feels pretty good and I don't feel like I'm trapped in this thing despite a large percentage of my field of view being occupied by both the top the monitor the desk everything I still feel like I could I could jump out if I had to and as somebody with ADHD the way that it does take up so much of your field of view and kind of prevents you from looking at what's behind you in an office space or even at home when I was gaming I feel like if I put noise canceling headphones on I would get lost in this thing in its current configuration here at CES 2023 they have a 34 inch high refresh rate Cooler Master Ultra wide but you can also configure it with three 27-inch monitors and Surround if you want and while they don't officially list it as supported I talk to the people here and they set a 49 inch super ultra wide like the Samsung to see can mount up to it it's just maybe a little too close for that at least when you have the discrete monitors you can kind of put them at an angle right above the monitors you can see the stereo part of the 2.1 Channel spatial audio setup they have in here they're they're kind of up here angled to bounce off and kind of surround you in audio it's not like technically true surround sound there's also a sub underneath the seat so the small drivers in here have a little bit of help giving you that extra oomph and bass and let's hear how they sound with their everybody's favorite crab rave it's truly the Pinnacle of audio testing okay don't get me wrong it's not the Pinnacle of audio listening experience it's not the best speakers you can have on a PC but the spatial effect really does make it feel like it belongs in this setup they're definitely good enough I'm not wanting more specifically with the speakers there's three modes there's a gaming mode a theater mode which is like for movies and a music mode most of the sound difference I noticed between them is more to do with like how much bass there is so you're probably just gonna pick one you like and stick to it but you know maybe some people like choosing but there's also a lot of other buttons over here we should check out in terms of audio control there's an on and off button for the speakers the mode selector for those three different modes I talked about earlier a volume switch and a toggle that switches between Optical and Bluetooth audio so if you had your phone and you wanted to connect it to this thing and have your computer connected with Optical you can totally do that or even have your computer on Bluetooth if you're crazy and like latency the last button other than the power button is a memory feature so when you get your chair exactly how you like it you hold the memory button I didn't hold it long enough and now it's going back to the default whatever you get the point just like in a car where you can save your seat's position you can do it on this thing I would like to see maybe the option to have like three saved modes especially if they're pitching this as like a business device you might have multiple people that use the desk and only being able to save one position seems a bit short-sighted speaking of the seat there are a few things we can talk about there the headrest is adjustable manually as well as the lumbar support down here which goes again up and down in terms of the rest of the seat the back moves forward and back with the fancy little remote here try that oh there we go these seat slides forward and back there we go pressing the wrong buttons don't mind me they did mention to me on this one they think the foot rest is a little bit short especially for tall people I would concur but they already are aware of that and are thinking about fixing it and in terms of comfort honestly aside from the footrest being a bit short it's a pretty comfy chair it's very firmly padded but that's actually a good thing because people are going to be sitting in something like this for a long time and you don't want to be sitting in a chair and after an hour you start to feel the plywood under I don't think that's going to be a problem in this thing I would maybe like to see adjustable armrests but it's hard to say how they would do that when you have a big desk that slides back and forth might kind of get in the way but realistically you're using this as a desk your arms are going to be up here anyways our sponsor for CES 2023 actually dropped out but dbrand footed the bill the only catches they want me to come out onto the streets and offer Tech tips to random people for free it's I I'm not optimistic for how this is gonna go is that an iPhone it is it's an old one it's an old one yeah that's okay do you want a tech tip Giver have you ever heard the that when you get a new electronic product you should let it drain completely before recharging it yeah I've heard that well it's wrong yeah I figured like plug them right in like gimbal that I have I plugged that right in when I got it new it was about half charged oh nice said not to do that and it's been working ever since so okay can you do one more thing for me what do you need go to www.shortlineus.com short Linus you don't have to do it right now but whatever I'll give her yeah don't worry nice awesome we're just talking about the cup holder unfortunately a water bottle like this doesn't work just yet but with a cup in there look at that fits like a glove speaking of desk let's talk about it now right off the bat it's a great size there's tons of room for peripherals and plenty of mousing real estate even enough that you can slide your keyboard all the way out of the way and kind of read a book or write something on paper it's covered by a nice custom mouse pad that feels pretty good but it is a specific size so if you wanted to replace it a couple years down the road you would need to Source it from Cooler Master directly they said they they will have replacement parts available but your mileage may vary you never know how long companies support things like this it even has a wireless charger for your phone which when we're talking about trying to build an integrated device like this is the perfect thing to include everybody has their phone on their desk why can't you just charge it in the desk now there is one little caveat I thought because the entire desk is on an adjustable ARM that rests in a few different spots you can see there's like a little ball bearing here now I thought initially that this movement was going to be a problem but actually when you're using it the pressure of your arms holds it in place and it does a pretty good job of that so much so that I think honestly after using it for about 20 minutes I kind of forgot that the desk moved so I guess it's doing its job I would say that part of me still wants some sort of locking mechanism I don't know how they would do it maybe I'm not an engineer but I feel like there's got to be a way on the other side of the desk there is a few other things that are cool most notably a reading light which actually makes perfect sense if you're using your desk for you gotta sign a document or whatever works perfect for that there's also an integrated USB hub one of the ports even does 60 watt USB power delivery which is actually plenty enough to charge a laptop which is what I imagine most people would use it for and there's a headphone mic combo Port so if you want to wear headphones instead of using the speakers you can totally do that like I was you might be wondering where's the bloody computer it's not sitting right here it's not behind it but it's actually stored inside the orb X aha here it is look at that the lights they got a little contacts on there that's so cool now despite the price tag I mean it is an expensive thing think of it it's kind of like luxury Furniture it doesn't come with a computer you do have to provide your own or you can actually ask Cooler Master and they'll provide you a quote with one this is their q300l case fits in there pretty nicely it's not the smallest compartment ever but it also isn't going to fit a big case so you kind of have to keep that in mind the cables for the display are pre-run that would be part of the delivery service and there is as you'd guess from Cooler Master there's coolant there's three it looks like 120 mil fans on the bottom here and they blow a lot of air I actually I didn't notice it when I was in the front I didn't feel like that's this loud fan behind me I didn't hear the computer but there's lots of cooling down here there is also a vent at the top so some heat will come out of the top but most of it kind of is sucked out the bottom here so you shouldn't really feel any heat this system is equipped with a 4080 and a 13 700k and I didn't feel any heat in the front so I think that works pretty well this is a great way to do this a lot of solutions like this they think oh you just throw the computer behind the thing that's great it's supposed to be an integrated solution this is an integrated solution now there are some power restrictions because the power plugs in directly to the system down here along with the Ethernet you're only going to be able to run 1200 watts on the computer and 750 watts on the monitor those are the two limitations that I saw on the website I imagine there's probably some power use used by the machine so that's kind of the limitation you're at there but other than that 1200 watts for computers I'm gonna be honest when I first saw this thing and some of the other similar style computer immersion things I've always thought who would buy that thing it's so huge it's so much money but now I kind of want one like I want this in my house this is like everything I want in a computer desk and I didn't know I wanted it until I tried it which is pretty cool all of this might leave you with the question of why Cooler Master a company known for PC Hardware cases keyboards and mice is venturing into a fairly Boutique Market of luxury Furniture slash office equipment I guess well it's part of a bigger move to turn Cooler Master into more of a tech lifestyle company and less of a PC Hardware vendor and it does also have me wondering who would shell out for something like this you know I want it doesn't mean I would pay fifteen thousand dollars for something like this well I could definitely see employers who are trying to entice you know long-term work from home people back into the office or maybe it's just for a trust fund baby's gaming room but regardless I still want one can we have one all right if you like this video you might also like the time we looked at a similar concept from Acer back at CES 2019 that was four years ago and also the last time I was at CES"}
