1
00:00:00,130 --> 00:00:04,940
- After you've seen basically every laptop on the market, it becomes kind of hard to get just like

2
00:00:04,940 --> 00:00:08,710
truly stoked about something. Like just like "Oh my God, I want that!"

3
00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:12,100
But, that's what we have here today. Holy crap!

4
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:16,930
This thing's insane. So this is the ASUS ProArt Studiobook One,

5
00:00:16,930 --> 00:00:23,380
and it is $10,000 worth of just the most bat (beep) crazy insane,

6
00:00:23,380 --> 00:00:26,600
I don't know, every single spec you could ever think of,

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,920
in one. So this is the first Quadro RTX 6000 laptop,

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,450
and it has 24 gigabytes of VRAM.

9
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:39,110
It's pretty (mumbles) it's bonkers. Let's get into it here.

10
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:43,120
I have been bothering ASUS just all the time for this,

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,430
ever since it was announced a couple months ago. Even apparently the power adapter

12
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:54,040
on this thing is just off the wall. So this power adapter right here,

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:01:00,520
which is just super small, is able to deliver 300 Watts of power,

14
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,330
by using gallium nitride field effect transistors.

15
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:08,000
I don't know what that is, but it sounds wicked. And this is

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,810
for its size, a really hefty little power adapter.

17
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:16,600
What else do we have in here? Normally I don't expect to find like fun ad-ons in a laptop.

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,400
But, once you're getting to the level of something being $10,000, you know,

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,510
they can afford to put in like this nice little dongle here

20
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:29,130
that has two USB Type As, a thunder bolt and a full size HTMI port.

21
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:32,452
I'm guessing 2.0 or 2.1. That's the new one, right?

22
00:01:32,452 --> 00:01:36,200
- [David] 2.1's the new one. - 2.1, yeah. All right. Let's take a look.

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,633
How does this thing work?

24
00:01:39,430 --> 00:01:40,453
Ooh, she's heavy!

25
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:47,510
Wow, that's a lot of laptop. Let's see what else's there first.

26
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:52,124
Oh, there's literally no documentation. So, whatever (laughs)

27
00:01:52,124 --> 00:01:57,650
Look at this, it's probably a pre-production unit. But, as far as I know, we're allowed to run tests on it and everything so,

28
00:01:57,650 --> 00:02:01,073
wow, this is heavy. Especially for its size.

29
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:06,010
Oh my God. (paper rustling)

30
00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:10,060
All right, so this is quite a thin laptop,

31
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:13,470
but it's 6.4 pounds.

32
00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:18,560
It's, one of the most dense machines I've ever held in my hands.

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,790
For ports, we don't get a whole lot. Now, I get why they added the adapter in there.

34
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:28,750
So we have DC-in, Thunderbolt there, and then two more Thunderbolts here on the other side.

35
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:32,870
That's all you get. So you guys might be kind of confused looking at it

36
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:35,990
because on the bottom and like on the sides,

37
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:39,050
there's no venting, despite this being one of,

38
00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:43,040
if not the most powerful laptops on the market.

39
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,443
But, when you open it up,

40
00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:52,350
behind the display, it opens up 4.57 degrees,

41
00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:56,720
to allow cooling, like air to get in and cool everything down.

42
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,733
And we even have (laughs) it looks like there's venting just above the screen here.

43
00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:05,170
This clearly takes inspiration from ASUS's mothership project,

44
00:03:05,170 --> 00:03:09,270
where they were just kind of like "Hey yeah, if we turn a laptop upside down,

45
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:13,360
it runs way faster", that's cool. And they've kept on doing that here.

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,840
So inside of this thing, the specs are just beyond crazy.

47
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,110
So we're talking a core i9-9980HK, so that's the one that goes up to like

48
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:25,593
five gigahertz and beyond, eight cores, they also have an NVIDIA RTX6000,

49
00:03:26,450 --> 00:03:29,720
so the Quadro one with 24 gigabytes of VRAM,

50
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,100
we have 64 gigabytes of RAM, I think a One Terabyte SSD,

51
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:38,060
and a 90 Watt-hour battery. That's kind of, all of those are just

52
00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:41,383
the fastest that you can get in a laptop right now. Well,

53
00:03:41,383 --> 00:03:44,910
I guess the processor you go AMD (mumbles) whatever, close enough.

54
00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:50,320
I'm just curious how it works, that like, it can have all of the internals in the back

55
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,510
and not fall over. Like, where's the tipping point? What's so heavy about this palm rest?

56
00:03:55,510 --> 00:03:59,290
Yeah, 'cause the balance points like way back here, I'm guessing that just,

57
00:03:59,290 --> 00:04:04,070
this whole base is battery and only battery.

58
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:08,880
And that's how they got it to be so heavy. I don't know.

59
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,900
Unsurprisingly, just everything that you touch on this laptop

60
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:17,430
feels excellent. It's all very rigid, it's not going anywhere

61
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:21,690
because there's like a whole computer back here. Yeah, it just feels really great.

62
00:04:21,690 --> 00:04:25,770
Just like your manhood can feel really great. Thanks for today's sponsor, Manscaped.

63
00:04:25,770 --> 00:04:29,370
Manscaped's new weed wacker nose and ear hair trimmer's here.

64
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:34,180
It features the same proprietary Skinsafe Technology that helps reduce nicks and tugs.

65
00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:40,440
It has a premium 9,000 RPM motor that powers a 360 degree rotary dual blade system.

68
00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:51,750
Okay, that's an excellent keyboard. I do wish that I had just a tiny bit more travel,

69
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:56,560
Then again, it has that real like snappy feel, so you're able to just really blast.

70
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,550
Although I don't know if I'd wanna type on it for like hours and hours.

71
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:04,030
That said, after getting used to it, I imagine it would be fine. Like something like,

72
00:05:04,030 --> 00:05:07,800
it reminds me a lot of the MacBook Air, like the most recent one,

73
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,060
which I got used to and really enjoyed after a couple of hours.

74
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:16,450
The track pad also is really big for a Windows machine.

75
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:21,070
Now, then again, everything here is quite big. But, especially for ASUS,

76
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:25,580
who I don't always expect to have the best trackpads, this one seems really quite good.

77
00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:29,030
I don't even feel like... A lot of them I need to tune

78
00:05:29,030 --> 00:05:33,110
before I can get it to feel right. But just from the factory this feels pretty good to me.

79
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:37,297
I'm gonna turn off acceleration though. So this is normally where I'd complain and be like,

80
00:05:37,297 --> 00:05:41,930
"Yeah, the display it's pretty good but, you know, I wish that it was 16 by 10."

81
00:05:41,930 --> 00:05:44,970
Although I'm gonna give ASUS a pass here today.

82
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:47,983
'Cause this thing, this thing's crazy. So we have 4K,

83
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,430
okay, it's not a touch display but whatever. It's Pantone-calibrated so,

84
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:59,580
they say that it has less than one for the Delta Es. You expect two for professional photo work,

85
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:04,020
and it's 120 Hertz. Like, they got 4K,

86
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:09,020
120 Hertz and super color accuracy in this laptop.

87
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,250
There's just, there's nothing to complain about. Well, it's 16 by 10. We can complain about that.

88
00:06:13,250 --> 00:06:17,640
But we really can't because like, they nailed basically everything.

89
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,650
Yeah, David just said the screen's insane. It doesn't even look like a screen.

90
00:06:20,650 --> 00:06:24,780
It looks like a print. And, I agree this thing's wild.

91
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:28,253
Oh, let's just have a gander at some B-roll here.

92
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:34,910
It's a good looking display (laughs) Well, I could do more testing and stuff on the computer,

93
00:06:34,910 --> 00:06:38,230
but, whatever. We have a full LTT video coming on this,

94
00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:41,840
very soon so, we're not gonna bother here today.

95
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:44,940
I wanna see if we can take it apart.

96
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:48,840
So if you guys watched our video on the Dell XPS 17,

97
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,870
we just absolutely gushed about how they got

98
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:56,730
100 Watts of cooling power from a big old vapor chamber.

99
00:06:56,730 --> 00:07:00,570
ASUS has just absolutely knocked it out of the park

100
00:07:00,570 --> 00:07:03,640
in that regard here. So we have a vapor chamber that's

101
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,450
made out of titanium apparently, and it's good for 300 Watts of cooling.

102
00:07:09,450 --> 00:07:13,290
And I really wanna look at it, but I don't know if we'll be able to.

103
00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:16,250
Oh, this is Ooh, Oh

104
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,870
this is not great. But I think it is what we have to do, well

105
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:25,360
- [David] I mean I'm not the one firing off that email to ASUS. - Okay, let's just start with the screws that we can see.

106
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,480
I don't think it'll get us access to what we want, but at least it's, you know,

107
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,663
a bit more sensible than just pulling the display off and seeing what happens.

108
00:07:34,799 --> 00:07:40,523
It does look like they're all the same screw at least. We'll get to have at least a nice look at the battery,

109
00:07:41,450 --> 00:07:44,830
and hopefully figure out how we can get in the top.

110
00:07:44,830 --> 00:07:49,470
I do not like this one bit. I also like it a lot but,

111
00:07:49,470 --> 00:07:53,513
this is not a small chunk of change in computing right here.

112
00:07:55,941 --> 00:08:01,350
- [David] Huh! - Yup, guessed correct their. Bottom's just entirely battery.

113
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:06,550
You don't normally see that much battery in a laptop. Also, this piece right here is just,

114
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:09,870
it's really nice. It's clearly been CNC-machined

115
00:08:09,870 --> 00:08:14,710
from a solid block of aluminum. You can see all of just like the little machining marks,

116
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:18,610
all the way up here and, this is not cheap, not cheap at all.

117
00:08:18,610 --> 00:08:22,520
It looks like this hinge is made out of magnesium. Continuing the trend of

118
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,683
things that are definitely not cheap.

119
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:29,470
Battery's off (laughs)

120
00:08:29,470 --> 00:08:36,350
Whew! I think I'm going to call it. I don't see any way to get into the back of the machine

121
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:40,990
without pulling the display off. It might work.

122
00:08:40,990 --> 00:08:44,800
If it doesn't, we destroy a $10,000 laptop.

123
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,450
We got to look at this big old battery. We didn't get to take a look at the titanium vapor chamber.

124
00:08:50,450 --> 00:08:53,630
But, we need to leave something for the LTT review.

125
00:08:53,630 --> 00:08:59,600
I'm gonna call it there, so we don't end up with a very expensive paperweight,

126
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,110
and a very awkward email to ASUS (laughs)

127
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:07,820
Nope, there we go yep. - [David] Yaaay! - Yeah that's fine, I wasn't concerned.

128
00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:14,020
That wasn't we didn't do very much to it. Anyway, this is easily one of the most bonkers laptops

129
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:19,270
that's ever been made, and I can't wait for the full LTT video to be done on it.

130
00:09:19,270 --> 00:09:23,620
Maybe it'll just be like an hour of Linus just stress sweating,

131
00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:27,240
as he pulls the display off of it to get a look at that vapor chamber.

132
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:33,740
I'm not totally sure yet. I hope you guys liked it. Get subscribed to ShortCircuit and LTT of course.

133
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:37,353
And, I don't know, just have a fantastic day. See you later.
