LTT Computex 2016 coverage is brought to you by the Corsair Lap Dog. It lets you
use a full-size mouse and mechanical keyboard on the couch. Also, thank you
to MSI. So, first off at the Gigabyte Suite, I'm going to be checking out the
Orus X7DT. This laptop will be looked
into in much more detail by Lionus in a little while, so I'm not going to cover
it in its entirety, but I do want to cover some major changes that were asked
for by Lionus and a few other people in the past. One, the keyboard is no longer
just orange backlighting. It is RGB backlighting and it has a wicked amount
of different modes in the software. Don't pay too much attention into the
individual tones of the colors, however, because they are still tweaking that.
The touchpad has also changed. It is still glass, but it appears and feels
quite a bit different. The logo is still going to be on it. I know it isn't on it
here, but it's still going under some changes. It'll be fine. But it is much
more matte textured and not as slippery, which I think people will like. The
screen has also changed. The bezel instead of coming to like a single fang
now has two, one on each side of the center point. And the screen itself has
changed a little bit. It's still G-Sync, but instead of being 4K, it's now 1080p
120 Hz with 5 milliseconds of delay. So, if you're going for something like the
shooter games on your laptop, that would be quite ideal. For the rest of the
details on the X7D, tune in to Linus' video, which will be back in the office
and more in depth later on. For now, let's check out the Aero14. The A14 is
equipped with a 970 or 965M NVIDIA GPU.
And on the processor side, you have a sixth generation i7. The one right here
is a 6700 HQ, so you can go pretty high-end there as well. In terms of
memory, you've got 8 gigs or 16 gigs, but it is expandable. There's two slots,
and you can go up to 32 gigs. The screen is a beautiful
2560x440p IPS panel, and you have two M.2 slots that can go all the way up to
NVMe. It has up to 10 hours of battery life in productivity mode and even then
only weighs 1.89 kg with the battery installed. For wireless connectivity,
you have wireless AC and Bluetooth 4.1LE. For connectivity, on the right
hand side, you have USB 3.1 type-C connector, a mini DisplayPort
connector, two USB 3.0 connectors, and AC power in. On the lefth hand side, you
have an HDMI 2.0 port, a USB 3.0 0 port,
a headphone/microphone port, an SD card slot, and the Kensington lock. Yes, as
you may have noticed, there is no Ethernet port, but that is actually fairly standard these days. And it's
optional, but I think it's going to come with most of them. There's going to be a USB to Ethernet adapter. And then, as
you can very obviously see beside me on the table that I'm crouching next to, it
comes in orange, black, and green. Thanks again to Corsair for sponsoring
this episode. If you like gaming on the couch, check out their Lap Dog. It lets
you use something like a full-size keyboard like their K70 or a full-size
mouse to game on the couch. Also, thanks to MSI, they're showing off their new
AUS X desktop and their new GTX 1080 Gaming X8G. We'll be checking those out
later on in the show, so stay tuned for that.
