00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.200
Lionus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom Glass. Visit

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:11.360
store.fantom.glass for the best darn screen protectors out there, as well as

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:16.960
HyperX. Seems like every time we run into Gigabyte, they're showing off some

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:18.800
new thinnest, lightest gaming notebook

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

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:27.680
laptop that's got up to three SSD

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

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

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.640
processor. It's got a 3K or optionally a

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:44.879
4K display. That's using an Exo panel. So we're not talking TN nonsense here.

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:49.600
And most impressively, it's got two GeForce GTX

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:53.360
965M graphics cards. This is one absolutely serious machine. It's got

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.640
their same macro keys on the left of the keyboard. It's got a chicklet keyboard.

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:01.359
It's got an aluminum construction that both helps dissipate heat and keeps it

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:04.720
extremely lightweight and strong. And if you've got the pretty pennies to put

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:09.840
together for it, might just be one of the most powerful compact gaming

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

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:18.880
at this point. In terms of IO, you've got three USB 3 ports, DisplayPort out,

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.759
HDMI out, audio ports, you've got a micro SD slot, and is that two HDMI?

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:28.560
Looks Look at that. It has dual HDMI. Pretty cool. Did I mention by the way

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:31.040
that those SSD slots are M.2? So, not

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:35.680
your typical M SATA. Now, speaking of having DisplayPort out, the X7 Pro is

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

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.920
DisplayPort out or mini DisplayPort. This one is running an NVIDIA G-Sync

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.159
panel. That's not something that's officially supported G-Sync on mobile

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.439
GPUs. Now, I can't get any kind of confirmation from anyone in terms of

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

00:01:53.119 --> 00:02:01.520
definitely cool to see it running on hardware that is already out there. So,

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.759
that's 970M SLI in the X7 Pro. So, you

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.

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:14.160
Not exactly a uh, you know, a loser option, that's for sure. But the premium

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:16.800
Aoris brand isn't the only one that's getting a little bit of attention from

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

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:27.120
interests me most. I love powerful gaming notebooks. I love affordable

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.040
gaming notebooks and I love small gaming notebooks. And this looks like it's

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

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

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:44.319
quadcore processor. It's dual channel DDR3 memory. It supports one M SATA SSD

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.440
up to 512 gigs. Realistically, if you could find a 1 TB one, I think Samsung

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

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

00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.959
factor. And the most impressive thing about it, other than how slim it is, is

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:04.959
that it has a GeForce GTX 970M inside

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:06.640
powering the 1080p nonTN panel up here.

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

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:15.680
going along with the two USB 3 ports, HDMI, SD card reader and power in on

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:20.000
this side they've got another two USB3 ports, an audio jack, Ethernet which is

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

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:27.599
a 970M in it. So, if you're like the traveling, you know, business person who

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

00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:37.280
of sense. Speaking of gaming on the road, um mobile games and your your

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.400
phone, which you should probably have a phantom glass screen protector on if you

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

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:49.360
scratchresistant and easy to apply with no bubbles and available for a wide

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:53.120
variety of different phones and can even be taken off and put back on. Just visit

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

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

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.120
time. I shouldn't pretend it's new because I'm at CES or anything like

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

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.760
channel. So, it's YouTube.com/hyperX. They're also linked

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.840
in the video description. They got a lot of great gaming content there. And a

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

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.759
