1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,120
AMD is used to being treated like the redheaded stepchild at partner events

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:12,160
manufacturers like ASUS typically line up all their sexy new designs with Intel

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,960
inside and then there's like a room over there somewhere with the

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:23,359
more plastic crappier AMD version that's not even coming for another three months

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,400
oh how the tables have turned literally

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:29,439
every single one of the machines that ASUS

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:35,840
showed up with today for our ces pre-briefing is launching with an AMD

8

below

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,559
the quickest and easiest way to tell that AMD is really leading the charge in

13
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:03,840
the CPU space is that they're suddenly going all Intel

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:09,119
tactics on us by not allowing ASUS to tell us anything other than that this is

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,920
a 4000 series ryzen processor

16
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:17,439
fortunately we have basic investigative skills like

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,759
googling ryzen 4 000 leak and reading so

18
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:24,840
here's the rundown the new ASUS zephyrus g14 is an all-new 14-inch laptop design

19
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,840
that is just smoking

20
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:34,799
ryzen 4000 is going to be the first time that AMD brings their seven nanometers

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,560
zen ii to laptops because confusingly remember guys their 3000 series mobile

22
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,960
are still 14 nanometer so with the decrease in transistor size we are

23
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:50,320
getting some significant benefits starting with an increase in core count

24
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:56,240
that's right my friends in this tiny 14-inch zephyrus AMD well ASUS really

25
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:03,680
but who's keeping track has somehow managed to cram a true 8 core 16 thread

26
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,079
CPU that is expected to boost at over 4

27
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,959
gigahertz now it'll be interesting to see how much of the seven nanometer

28
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,920
efficiency boost AMD chooses to use for performance versus battery life but

29
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:21,840
given that ASUS is advertising oh thank you 10 hours on a 76 watt hour battery

30
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,360
we will probably be getting a fair bit of both

31
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,640
and the cold hard truth is that if we're wrong about this AMD has nobody to blame

32
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:34,640
but their own obstinance maybe the coolest thing about this

33
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,080
processor though and the zephyrus g14 as a whole is that it really blurs the line

34
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,760
between a gaming and a professional laptop like

35
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:49,680
look at this thing it looks like you could show up in a boardroom meeting

36
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:52,239
with it but you're getting an rtx 2060 3

37
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:58,879
200 megahertz RAM so you can shred them games and then a course so you can tear

38
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,879
through renders you get a 120hz display

39
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:06,720
with freesync but you're also getting pantone calibration you're getting all

40
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,480
that RGB wait

41
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,360
you don't get RGB no no RGB well

42
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,480
how could i buy a gaming laptop without a lighting gimmick right

43
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,159
hey there it is

44
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:26,000
it's back here so yeah they've got

45
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,159
1250 mini leds on the back of the

46
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,480
display that allow you to put custom pictures or animations on the rear of

47
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,560
your computer this is an optional extra though so most

48
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:41,920
of you will probably be ending up with what is a shockingly toned down laptop

49
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:47,280
for an rog machine so the design goal of the zephyrus g14

50
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,599
was to take on the do-it-all gaming laptops like the razer blade but at a

51
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:56,319
more affordable price that doesn't mean though that ASUS sacrificed build

52
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,959
quality so here we've got the forged and

53
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:04,159
cnc machined magnesium chassis that ASUS is using in the g14 you can actually see

54
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,799
they've strategically left like a honeycomb pattern here on the wrist rest

55
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:13,439
so that there's surprisingly little flex to this thing

56
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:16,799
even without the assembled laptop around it and i'm like you heard that i'm

57
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:22,160
trying to break it another really nice to have is a fingerprint reader but not

58
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:28,080
just any fingerprint reader my friends ASUS was very proud of this here guys

59
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:32,400
what we're looking at is the world's first

60
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,880
triangular power button with a built-in

61
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:40,240
fingerprint reader wait i'm sorry who's asking for this

62
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:43,600
apparently this is actually a six dollar

63
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,600
part for them and i sincerely hope that

64
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,479
most of the cost was in its hidden superpower the ability to cash your

65
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:55,440
fingerprint temporarily when you press the button initially then use that

66
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:59,440
cached data to unlock the device once Windows asked for authentication

67
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:03,440
i hope they didn't spend too much on the shape in keeping with the zephyrus name

68
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,639
ASUS needed to include some fancy ways to manage the thermals in such a small

69
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,639
device and they haven't disappointed lifting up the screen causes the whole

70
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,240
device to lift up off the surface it's sitting on making the keyboard slightly

71
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:17,759
more ergonomic and the down firing speaker sound better and of course it

72
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,720
also allows the machine to pull nice cool air into the fans from the bottom

73
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,240
of the unit getting air into the machine of course though is only half the battle and this

74
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,039
new hinge means that they can't just blast the hot

75
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,560
air out the back straight into the bottom of the display this was actually

76
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,320
quite a problem on one of their strix laptops about two years ago they didn't

77
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,160
design enough room for the air to get out so you'd get way better performance

78
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,680
when the screen was either like this or like this but then you'd get thermal

79
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,360
throttling if it was at a 90 degree angle anyway ASUS has solved this by splitting

80
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:56,320
the airflow with these fancy new heat sinks so that it goes both check this

81
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,240
out that's cool so it goes both up and down to get as much heat out as possible

82
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,400
and if that's still not enough heat output for you well then you can say

83
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:11,039
goodbye to the zephyrus here and move over to what we call the thick boy

84
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:14,240
this is the ASUS tough a15 gaming laptop

85
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:17,919
and it features up to a 45 watt eight

86
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,560
core 4th gen ryzen that is 10 more watts

87
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:24,639
than the zephyrus now this is the cost down model of the ASUS laptop lineup so

88
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,400
you don't get fancy things like uh magnesium chassis you hear that flex

89
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:34,240
it's probably an engineering sample but it's probably not gonna get that much better or a flippy doodle hinge but we

90
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:39,440
do seem to have the makings of a pretty solid budget laptop here it's got a

91
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,400
144hz display with freesync an rtx 2060

92
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:47,600
most impressively a 90 watt hour battery this means that if you

93
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,680
don't mind the chunk the tough could easily have everything you need in a

94
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,120
laptop it even has easily upgradable RAM and storage but you're just gonna have

95
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,800
to trust me on that since i wasn't allowed to film the inside apparently

96
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:05,120
some of the stuff in this engineering sample will not be in the final version

97
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:07,560
what i'm sorry i can't tell you finally

98
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:12,880
over here we've got the ASUS ga35 this is their new flagship desktop

99
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:19,039
and like how crazy is this flagship products

100
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:22,639
with AMD cpus what so it's got a 16 core

101
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:25,039
32 thread ryzen 3950x paired with a

102
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:28,880
strix rtx 2080 ti giving me no doubts whatsoever that it's going to be a

103
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:33,840
gaming beast and seems like it's going to be a pretty quiet one too given how

104
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,400
much room there is for airflow and ASUS

105
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:40,880
insisted that i mention just how many thermal zones it has it's got lots of

106
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,560
thermal zones okay one really cool thing though about this

107
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:49,840
desktop is the two hot swappable two and a half inch bays in the front which will

108
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,160
likely be super useful for

109
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:57,520
esports tournaments and more importantly messing with your

110
00:07:53,919 --> 00:07:59,440
friend who buys one just here guys

111
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,919
sorry how do you get the thing off help me out here

112
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:06,479
where is it thank you okay

113
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:12,639
so guys pro tip you just pull it out a little bit so it

114
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,120
looks like it's still installed hours of hilarity will ensue while he or

115
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:21,440
she uses the integrated carrying handle to chuck the thing out a window because

116
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:26,479
it won't boot speaking of throwing things i'ma throw

117
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:29,840
this over to our sponsor message wait who's tinkering with the server

118
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,320
right now ah

119
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:39,039
it's gotta be the guys on pulse way pulse way is the simple app available

120
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:43,120
for iOS or Android that allows you to control your it infrastructure when

121
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,680
you're on the go it's got remote desktop functionality you can update your

122
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:52,320
systems you can monitor network activity all kinds of stuff and it works with

123
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,080
Windows mac and of course Linux so what

124
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,240
are you guys waiting for try pulsewave for free and get 20 off their teams plan

125
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,200
at the link in the video description wasn't that wonderful make sure you guys

126
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:04,959
are subscribed so you don't miss any of our ces content oh and also we make

127
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,200
videos the rest of the year as well hey what the hell is this

128
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,399
you bastards i bet jeff did this

129
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:18,240
because alex couldn't have done it on his own you would have had to show him how to do this

130
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,240
wtf dude
