00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,200
Lionus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom Glass. Visit

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:11,360
store.fantom.glass for the best darn screen protectors out there, as well as

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:16,960
HyperX. Seems like every time we run into Gigabyte, they're showing off some

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,800
new thinnest, lightest gaming notebook

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:25,600
ever thing. And this time they're calling it the X5. So, this is a 15.6 in

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:27,680
laptop that's got up to three SSD

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:32,399
support. It's got a 2 and 1/2 in hard drive bay. It supports up to four so

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:37,719
dim. So that's up to 32 gigs of DDR3 memory. It's got an Intel Core i7

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,640
processor. It's got a 3K or optionally a

10
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:44,879
4K display. That's using an Exo panel. So we're not talking TN nonsense here.

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,600
And most impressively, it's got two GeForce GTX

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,360
965M graphics cards. This is one absolutely serious machine. It's got

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,640
their same macro keys on the left of the keyboard. It's got a chicklet keyboard.

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:01,359
It's got an aluminum construction that both helps dissipate heat and keeps it

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,720
extremely lightweight and strong. And if you've got the pretty pennies to put

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:09,840
together for it, might just be one of the most powerful compact gaming

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,799
machines on the planet. And by one of, I mean it might actually be pretty much it

18
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,880
at this point. In terms of IO, you've got three USB 3 ports, DisplayPort out,

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,759
HDMI out, audio ports, you've got a micro SD slot, and is that two HDMI?

20
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:28,560
Looks Look at that. It has dual HDMI. Pretty cool. Did I mention by the way

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,040
that those SSD slots are M.2? So, not

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:35,680
your typical M SATA. Now, speaking of having DisplayPort out, the X7 Pro is

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,320
not actually new, the one that's sitting right here. But what is new is that via

24
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:43,920
DisplayPort out or mini DisplayPort. This one is running an NVIDIA G-Sync

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,159
panel. That's not something that's officially supported G-Sync on mobile

26
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:51,439
GPUs. Now, I can't get any kind of confirmation from anyone in terms of

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,119
when we're or if we're going to see this feature actually implemented, but it's

28
00:01:53,119 --> 00:02:01,520
definitely cool to see it running on hardware that is already out there. So,

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,759
that's 970M SLI in the X7 Pro. So, you

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:10,080
step down to a 15.6 in, then you get 965M SLI. That's those are 4 gig cards.

31
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:14,160
Not exactly a uh, you know, a loser option, that's for sure. But the premium

32
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,800
Aoris brand isn't the only one that's getting a little bit of attention from

33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,560
Gigabyte. And this one, out of everything they're launching under the Gigabyte brand, is the one that

34
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:27,120
interests me most. I love powerful gaming notebooks. I love affordable

35
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,040
gaming notebooks and I love small gaming notebooks. And this looks like it's

36
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,560
going to be a pretty healthy mix of all of them. I don't have exact pricing and

37
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,319
I don't actually have exact specs. I just know, you know, it's got a Core i7

38
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:44,319
quadcore processor. It's dual channel DDR3 memory. It supports one M SATA SSD

39
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:47,440
up to 512 gigs. Realistically, if you could find a 1 TB one, I think Samsung

40
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,680
has one, you could put a bigger one in it. And it also supports up to a two TB

41
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,200
hard drive. So, it's got room for an SSD and a hard drive in this tiny form

42
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,959
factor. And the most impressive thing about it, other than how slim it is, is

43
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,959
that it has a GeForce GTX 970M inside

44
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,640
powering the 1080p nonTN panel up here.

45
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:11,120
So, if you're looking for I don't know like who exactly this is targeted at cuz

46
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,680
going along with the two USB 3 ports, HDMI, SD card reader and power in on

47
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,000
this side they've got another two USB3 ports, an audio jack, Ethernet which is

48
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,599
nice and VGA so it almost kind of looks like a business model but then it's got

49
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,599
a 970M in it. So, if you're like the traveling, you know, business person who

50
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,360
also likes to game on the road, then this looks like it might make a fair bit

51
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:37,280
of sense. Speaking of gaming on the road, um mobile games and your your

52
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,400
phone, which you should probably have a phantom glass screen protector on if you

53
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:46,319
want to have a Gorilla Glass screen protector that keeps your screen safe and also completely clear and

54
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,360
scratchresistant and easy to apply with no bubbles and available for a wide

55
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,120
variety of different phones and can even be taken off and put back on. Just visit

56
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,799
store.fantom.glass. We've got that linked in the video description to learn more about this awesome screen protector

57
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,519
that we are using here at the show. And actually, I've been using for quite some

58
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,120
time. I shouldn't pretend it's new because I'm at CES or anything like

59
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,000
that, but what is new because I'm at CES is us telling you about HyperX's YouTube

60
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,760
channel. So, it's YouTube.com/hyperX. They're also linked

61
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,840
in the video description. They got a lot of great gaming content there. And a

62
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:20,560
huge thank you to both Phantom Glass and HyperX for allowing us to be here at CES

63
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,759
2015. Don't miss any of our CES content, guys. Make sure you're subscribed and

64
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,960
I'll see you in the next sweeter booth or wherever else it is we're
