WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:08.710 truly stoked about something. Like just like "Oh my God, I want that!" 00:00:08.710 --> 00:00:12.100 But, that's what we have here today. Holy crap! 00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:16.930 This thing's insane. So this is the ASUS ProArt Studiobook One, 00:00:16.930 --> 00:00:23.380 and it is $10,000 worth of just the most bat (beep) crazy insane, 00:00:23.380 --> 00:00:26.600 I don't know, every single spec you could ever think of, 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.920 in one. So this is the first Quadro RTX 6000 laptop, 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.450 and it has 24 gigabytes of VRAM. 00:00:35.450 --> 00:00:39.110 It's pretty (mumbles) it's bonkers. Let's get into it here. 00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:43.120 I have been bothering ASUS just all the time for this, 00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:49.430 ever since it was announced a couple months ago. Even apparently the power adapter 00:00:49.430 --> 00:00:54.040 on this thing is just off the wall. So this power adapter right here, 00:00:54.040 --> 00:01:00.520 which is just super small, is able to deliver 300 Watts of power, 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.330 by using gallium nitride field effect transistors. 00:01:04.330 --> 00:01:08.000 I don't know what that is, but it sounds wicked. And this is 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.810 for its size, a really hefty little power adapter. 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. 00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:21.400 But, once you're getting to the level of something being $10,000, you know, 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.510 they can afford to put in like this nice little dongle here 00:01:24.510 --> 00:01:29.130 that has two USB Type As, a thunder bolt and a full size HTMI port. 00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:32.452 I'm guessing 2.0 or 2.1. That's the new one, right? 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. 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:37.633 How does this thing work? 00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:40.453 Ooh, she's heavy! 00:01:43.070 --> 00:01:47.510 Wow, that's a lot of laptop. Let's see what else's there first. 00:01:47.510 --> 00:01:52.124 Oh, there's literally no documentation. So, whatever (laughs) 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, 00:01:57.650 --> 00:02:01.073 wow, this is heavy. Especially for its size. 00:02:01.910 --> 00:02:06.010 Oh my God. (paper rustling) 00:02:06.010 --> 00:02:10.060 All right, so this is quite a thin laptop, 00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:13.470 but it's 6.4 pounds. 00:02:13.470 --> 00:02:18.560 It's, one of the most dense machines I've ever held in my hands. 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. 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. 00:02:28.750 --> 00:02:32.870 That's all you get. So you guys might be kind of confused looking at it 00:02:32.870 --> 00:02:35.990 because on the bottom and like on the sides, 00:02:35.990 --> 00:02:39.050 there's no venting, despite this being one of, 00:02:39.050 --> 00:02:43.040 if not the most powerful laptops on the market. 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:45.443 But, when you open it up, 00:02:46.380 --> 00:02:52.350 behind the display, it opens up 4.57 degrees, 00:02:52.350 --> 00:02:56.720 to allow cooling, like air to get in and cool everything down. 00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:01.733 And we even have (laughs) it looks like there's venting just above the screen here. 00:03:01.733 --> 00:03:05.170 This clearly takes inspiration from ASUS's mothership project, 00:03:05.170 --> 00:03:09.270 where they were just kind of like "Hey yeah, if we turn a laptop upside down, 00:03:09.270 --> 00:03:13.360 it runs way faster", that's cool. And they've kept on doing that here. 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.840 So inside of this thing, the specs are just beyond crazy. 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 00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:25.593 five gigahertz and beyond, eight cores, they also have an NVIDIA RTX6000, 00:03:26.450 --> 00:03:29.720 so the Quadro one with 24 gigabytes of VRAM, 00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:34.100 we have 64 gigabytes of RAM, I think a One Terabyte SSD, 00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:38.060 and a 90 Watt-hour battery. That's kind of, all of those are just 00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.383 the fastest that you can get in a laptop right now. Well, 00:03:41.383 --> 00:03:44.910 I guess the processor you go AMD (mumbles) whatever, close enough. 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 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? 00:03:55.510 --> 00:03:59.290 Yeah, 'cause the balance points like way back here, I'm guessing that just, 00:03:59.290 --> 00:04:04.070 this whole base is battery and only battery. 00:04:04.070 --> 00:04:08.880 And that's how they got it to be so heavy. I don't know. 00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:13.900 Unsurprisingly, just everything that you touch on this laptop 00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:17.430 feels excellent. It's all very rigid, it's not going anywhere 00:04:17.430 --> 00:04:21.690 because there's like a whole computer back here. Yeah, it just feels really great. 00:04:21.690 --> 00:04:25.770 Just like your manhood can feel really great. Thanks for today's sponsor, Manscaped. 00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:29.370 Manscaped's new weed wacker nose and ear hair trimmer's here. 00:04:29.370 --> 00:04:34.180 It features the same proprietary Skinsafe Technology that helps reduce nicks and tugs. 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. 00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:43.510 Get 20% off and free shipping of the Performance package, 00:04:43.510 --> 00:04:47.060 when you use the code "CIRCUIT" at the link below. Or on manscaped.com 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, 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. 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. 00:05:00.550 --> 00:05:04.030 That said, after getting used to it, I imagine it would be fine. Like something like, 00:05:04.030 --> 00:05:07.800 it reminds me a lot of the MacBook Air, like the most recent one, 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.060 which I got used to and really enjoyed after a couple of hours. 00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:16.450 The track pad also is really big for a Windows machine. 00:05:16.450 --> 00:05:21.070 Now, then again, everything here is quite big. But, especially for ASUS, 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. 00:05:25.580 --> 00:05:29.030 I don't even feel like... A lot of them I need to tune 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. 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, 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." 00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:44.970 Although I'm gonna give ASUS a pass here today. 00:05:44.970 --> 00:05:47.983 'Cause this thing, this thing's crazy. So we have 4K, 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.430 okay, it's not a touch display but whatever. It's Pantone-calibrated so, 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, 00:05:59.580 --> 00:06:04.020 and it's 120 Hertz. Like, they got 4K, 00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:09.020 120 Hertz and super color accuracy in this laptop. 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. 00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:17.640 But we really can't because like, they nailed basically everything. 00:06:17.640 --> 00:06:20.650 Yeah, David just said the screen's insane. It doesn't even look like a screen. 00:06:20.650 --> 00:06:24.780 It looks like a print. And, I agree this thing's wild. 00:06:24.780 --> 00:06:28.253 Oh, let's just have a gander at some B-roll here. 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, 00:06:34.910 --> 00:06:38.230 but, whatever. We have a full LTT video coming on this, 00:06:38.230 --> 00:06:41.840 very soon so, we're not gonna bother here today. 00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:44.940 I wanna see if we can take it apart. 00:06:44.940 --> 00:06:48.840 So if you guys watched our video on the Dell XPS 17, 00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:51.870 we just absolutely gushed about how they got 00:06:51.870 --> 00:06:56.730 100 Watts of cooling power from a big old vapor chamber. 00:06:56.730 --> 00:07:00.570 ASUS has just absolutely knocked it out of the park 00:07:00.570 --> 00:07:03.640 in that regard here. So we have a vapor chamber that's 00:07:03.640 --> 00:07:09.450 made out of titanium apparently, and it's good for 300 Watts of cooling. 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. 00:07:13.290 --> 00:07:16.250 Oh, this is Ooh, Oh 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.870 this is not great. But I think it is what we have to do, well 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. 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, 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:33.663 a bit more sensible than just pulling the display off and seeing what happens. 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, 00:07:41.450 --> 00:07:44.830 and hopefully figure out how we can get in the top. 00:07:44.830 --> 00:07:49.470 I do not like this one bit. I also like it a lot but, 00:07:49.470 --> 00:07:53.513 this is not a small chunk of change in computing right here. 00:07:55.941 --> 00:08:01.350 - [David] Huh! - Yup, guessed correct their. Bottom's just entirely battery. 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, 00:08:06.550 --> 00:08:09.870 it's really nice. It's clearly been CNC-machined 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, 00:08:14.710 --> 00:08:18.610 all the way up here and, this is not cheap, not cheap at all. 00:08:18.610 --> 00:08:22.520 It looks like this hinge is made out of magnesium. Continuing the trend of 00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:24.683 things that are definitely not cheap. 00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:29.470 Battery's off (laughs) 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 00:08:36.350 --> 00:08:40.990 without pulling the display off. It might work. 00:08:40.990 --> 00:08:44.800 If it doesn't, we destroy a $10,000 laptop. 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. 00:08:50.450 --> 00:08:53.630 But, we need to leave something for the LTT review. 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, 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.110 and a very awkward email to ASUS (laughs) 00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:07.820 Nope, there we go yep. - [David] Yaaay! - Yeah that's fine, I wasn't concerned. 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 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. 00:09:19.270 --> 00:09:23.620 Maybe it'll just be like an hour of Linus just stress sweating, 00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:27.240 as he pulls the display off of it to get a look at that vapor chamber. 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. 00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:37.353 And, I don't know, just have a fantastic day. See you later.
