1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,120 Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,360 powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,120 storage partner is Seagate Technology and our trusted networking partner is 4 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:16,120 Blinkis. 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,320 In the ASUS booth, they have booth suite, whatever you want to call it, 6 00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:26,240 they have the Cube. This is a Google TV 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:30,560 ready device that has a lot of very, very cool stuff. So, I'm going to show 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,800 you the cube first. This is an ARM processor. It's got 4 gigs of onboard 9 00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:39,200 storage. It's got a USB drive. It's got 1 gig of RAM. It's got Ethernet. It's 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,440 got HDMI in and HDMI out. And that's cool. We're going to show you why 11 00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:46,160 actually. Well, it's kind of behind me already anyway, but no big deal. Uh IR 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:50,000 out so you can synchronize it with uh with an IR blaster and make sure that it 13 00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:53,920 sort of acts as a hub for passing signals through to whatever else you 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:58,239 need. Power in and it basically looks like well a cube. So that's 15 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:04,239 appropriately named. More important than that is the remote. So, it's fully 16 00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,640 Netflix ready. Okay. It's got a touchpad 17 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,560 and buttons so you can decide how exactly you want to use that there 18 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,439 device. So, the home button takes Oh, yeah. It's got a full keyboard on the 19 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,400 back. Did I mention that already? I'm pretty sure that I did not. It's got all 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,600 of your main buttons that you're going to need. Your back, your uh your microphone. There's another microphone 21 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,720 button here that is for controlling the device with Google Voice. Volume up, 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,680 down, channel scroll. And now let's take 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,600 it over to the working model that hopefully I haven't ruined. So it's 24 00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:37,600 running Android Honeycomb and they have done a custom UI here that is very 25 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,759 visual. So here should I move over sort of this way. So I want you guys to look 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:47,520 at this. Basically you navigate it with the remote. So you can see all of your 27 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,119 uh frequently used 28 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,920 if I'm not doing I might be doing this wrong somehow. 29 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,439 We'll be back in a moment. I figured it out. I'm in touchpad mode. 30 00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:00,880 See, I changed it to touchpad mode when I was tinkering with it. So, let's go 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,719 ahead and switch that out of touchpad mode. So, now we can click the buttons. 32 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,239 We can navigate. We go Netflix prime time. So, prime time is Google's way of 33 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,440 aggregating all of your content, whether it's web content or whether it's uh the 34 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,280 actual your your TV service providers content. You can browse all that stuff. 35 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,480 IMDb is on there. We're going to flip it around here. So, you got your movies, 36 00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,480 your games. This also is motion sensitive, so you can play motion 37 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:29,120 control games. I actually clicked the microphone button, so I'm using Google 38 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,480 Voice right now. We'll see what it comes up with here, 39 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,959 guys. I was talking for a while there, but it'll do its best. Go Google. You 40 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,080 know, you know, we love you. Click the microphone. So, I'm using Google Voice 41 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,640 right now. See, look at that. It's like bang on. So, now I just have to go back 42 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,360 so that we're not looking at that anymore. There we go. So, games, social, 43 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,360 and life. So, you've got a full web browser. Chrome is on here. You can set 44 00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:58,080 things up exactly the way you want. So, TV. There we go. If I go to Here we go. 45 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,120 There's the app store. I guess it's called Google Play now, not App Store. 46 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,680 That's totally the wrong thing to call it at all. And now, oh, I see. So, I was 47 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,400 in the education hub. So, ah, it's contextual. Very cool. On the side, it's 48 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:15,120 totally different stuff depending on There you go. what you're looking at. 49 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,360 So, let's have a look at the uh at the prime time UI. 50 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:23,760 Okay. And last but not least, I want to show 51 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,560 you guys the live TV button. So, this not only allows you to just switch to 52 00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:33,920 and watch your live TV, but also you click it. So, you go to your live TV. 53 00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:36,319 Now, you go to the home screen and it'll actually still play in the background 54 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,760 while you're doing whatever it is you want to do. So, very cool stuff. And 55 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:44,080 don't forget to subscribe so you can check out all of the CES 2013 coverage 56 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:48,959 from Linus Tech Tips.
