WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.120 AMD is used to being treated like the redheaded stepchild at partner events 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:12.160 manufacturers like ASUS typically line up all their sexy new designs with Intel 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:16.960 inside and then there's like a room over there somewhere with the 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:23.359 more plastic crappier AMD version that's not even coming for another three months 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.400 oh how the tables have turned literally 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.439 every single one of the machines that ASUS 00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:35.840 showed up with today for our ces pre-briefing is launching with an AMD 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.680 CPU ces 2020 coverage is brought to you by pulsewave the remote access software 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.000 that lets you access your Windows mac and Linux systems from a single app 00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.780 create your free account today and try it out for your business at the link 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:53.520 below 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.559 the quickest and easiest way to tell that AMD is really leading the charge in 00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:03.840 the CPU space is that they're suddenly going all Intel 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:09.119 tactics on us by not allowing ASUS to tell us anything other than that this is 00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:11.920 a 4000 series ryzen processor 00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:17.439 fortunately we have basic investigative skills like 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.759 googling ryzen 4 000 leak and reading so 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 00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:29.840 that is just smoking 00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:34.799 ryzen 4000 is going to be the first time that AMD brings their seven nanometers 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:40.560 zen ii to laptops because confusingly remember guys their 3000 series mobile 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:44.960 are still 14 nanometer so with the decrease in transistor size we are 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:50.320 getting some significant benefits starting with an increase in core count 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:56.240 that's right my friends in this tiny 14-inch zephyrus AMD well ASUS really 00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:03.680 but who's keeping track has somehow managed to cram a true 8 core 16 thread 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.079 CPU that is expected to boost at over 4 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:10.959 gigahertz now it'll be interesting to see how much of the seven nanometer 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.920 efficiency boost AMD chooses to use for performance versus battery life but 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:21.840 given that ASUS is advertising oh thank you 10 hours on a 76 watt hour battery 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:25.360 we will probably be getting a fair bit of both 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 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.640 but their own obstinance maybe the coolest thing about this 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:40.080 processor though and the zephyrus g14 as a whole is that it really blurs the line 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:43.760 between a gaming and a professional laptop like 00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:49.680 look at this thing it looks like you could show up in a boardroom meeting 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:52.239 with it but you're getting an rtx 2060 3 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 00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.879 through renders you get a 120hz display 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:06.720 with freesync but you're also getting pantone calibration you're getting all 00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:08.480 that RGB wait 00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:13.360 you don't get RGB no no RGB well 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:16.480 how could i buy a gaming laptop without a lighting gimmick right 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.159 hey there it is 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:26.000 it's back here so yeah they've got 00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:28.159 1250 mini leds on the back of the 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.480 display that allow you to put custom pictures or animations on the rear of 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.560 your computer this is an optional extra though so most 00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:41.920 of you will probably be ending up with what is a shockingly toned down laptop 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:47.280 for an rog machine so the design goal of the zephyrus g14 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 00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:56.319 more affordable price that doesn't mean though that ASUS sacrificed build 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.959 quality so here we've got the forged and 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:04.159 cnc machined magnesium chassis that ASUS is using in the g14 you can actually see 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:07.799 they've strategically left like a honeycomb pattern here on the wrist rest 00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:13.439 so that there's surprisingly little flex to this thing 00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:16.799 even without the assembled laptop around it and i'm like you heard that i'm 00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:22.160 trying to break it another really nice to have is a fingerprint reader but not 00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:28.080 just any fingerprint reader my friends ASUS was very proud of this here guys 00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:32.400 what we're looking at is the world's first 00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:34.880 triangular power button with a built-in 00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:40.240 fingerprint reader wait i'm sorry who's asking for this 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:43.600 apparently this is actually a six dollar 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.600 part for them and i sincerely hope that 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.479 most of the cost was in its hidden superpower the ability to cash your 00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:55.440 fingerprint temporarily when you press the button initially then use that 00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:59.440 cached data to unlock the device once Windows asked for authentication 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 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:06.639 ASUS needed to include some fancy ways to manage the thermals in such a small 00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:10.639 device and they haven't disappointed lifting up the screen causes the whole 00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.240 device to lift up off the surface it's sitting on making the keyboard slightly 00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:17.759 more ergonomic and the down firing speaker sound better and of course it 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.720 also allows the machine to pull nice cool air into the fans from the bottom 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 00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:31.039 new hinge means that they can't just blast the hot 00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:34.560 air out the back straight into the bottom of the display this was actually 00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:38.320 quite a problem on one of their strix laptops about two years ago they didn't 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.160 design enough room for the air to get out so you'd get way better performance 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.680 when the screen was either like this or like this but then you'd get thermal 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:51.360 throttling if it was at a 90 degree angle anyway ASUS has solved this by splitting 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:56.320 the airflow with these fancy new heat sinks so that it goes both check this 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 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:04.400 and if that's still not enough heat output for you well then you can say 00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:11.039 goodbye to the zephyrus here and move over to what we call the thick boy 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:14.240 this is the ASUS tough a15 gaming laptop 00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:17.919 and it features up to a 45 watt eight 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:20.560 core 4th gen ryzen that is 10 more watts 00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:24.639 than the zephyrus now this is the cost down model of the ASUS laptop lineup so 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:28.400 you don't get fancy things like uh magnesium chassis you hear that flex 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 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 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:42.400 144hz display with freesync an rtx 2060 00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:47.600 most impressively a 90 watt hour battery this means that if you 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:51.680 don't mind the chunk the tough could easily have everything you need in a 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.120 laptop it even has easily upgradable RAM and storage but you're just gonna have 00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:58.800 to trust me on that since i wasn't allowed to film the inside apparently 00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:05.120 some of the stuff in this engineering sample will not be in the final version 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:07.560 what i'm sorry i can't tell you finally 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:12.880 over here we've got the ASUS ga35 this is their new flagship desktop 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:19.039 and like how crazy is this flagship products 00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:22.639 with AMD cpus what so it's got a 16 core 00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:25.039 32 thread ryzen 3950x paired with a 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.880 strix rtx 2080 ti giving me no doubts whatsoever that it's going to be a 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 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:36.400 much room there is for airflow and ASUS 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:40.880 insisted that i mention just how many thermal zones it has it's got lots of 00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:44.560 thermal zones okay one really cool thing though about this 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 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.160 likely be super useful for 00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:57.520 esports tournaments and more importantly messing with your 00:07:53.919 --> 00:07:59.440 friend who buys one just here guys 00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:01.919 sorry how do you get the thing off help me out here 00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:06.479 where is it thank you okay 00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:12.639 so guys pro tip you just pull it out a little bit so it 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:17.120 looks like it's still installed hours of hilarity will ensue while he or 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:21.440 she uses the integrated carrying handle to chuck the thing out a window because 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:26.479 it won't boot speaking of throwing things i'ma throw 00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:29.840 this over to our sponsor message wait who's tinkering with the server 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:34.320 right now ah 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:39.039 it's gotta be the guys on pulse way pulse way is the simple app available 00:08:36.640 -->
