Linus tech tips coverage of pax 2013 is brought to you by western digital Intel
0:04
and steel series so we're here at the Intel booth at pax
0:08
prime 2013 remember guys Intel is one of our sponsors here at the show so a huge
0:13
thanks to them for allowing us to be here if you swing by you'll have a
0:16
chance to well see me i suppose i hope that i caught you because by the time
0:20
this video is up i think that'll be over they're giving away a ton of crazy
0:24
prizes over 40 000 worth of processors
0:28
alone and they've got a bunch of great technology on display here in the booth
0:38
so of course everyone knows about Intel's desktop processors but they're
0:42
giving you a chance to be hands-on with sort of the new generation of Intel
0:45
experiences including things like super thin and light tablets as well as
0:50
convertible ultrabooks so if you're not familiar with what a convertible
0:53
ultrabook is one of two things one come
0:56
by the booth or i hope you swung by the booth and now you know so then i guess
1:00
we're not having this conversation and number two is you can look at me
1:03
explaining what exactly it is it's a device that is thin light has great
1:07
battery life functions as a notebook or let's see if i can figure out how the
1:11
mechanism works on this one there we go functions as a tablet
1:16
also being shown off here at the show speaking of thin and light i mean this
1:20
is still technically a desktop machine in fact it is a full fledged desktop
1:26
machine in spite of its small stature i know that because i'm quite short that
1:30
it doesn't necessarily look as small as it is next to me but trust me it is this
1:34
is the i buy power revolt it is using the latest Intel 4th generation core i7
1:38
processor in order to pack just as much gaming performance inside a tower this
1:43
size as you might find inside a much larger one in fact the unique internal
1:47
layout of the revolt allows it to not only run the latest core i7 processors
1:53
as fast as those may happen to be but also even the very highest end graphics
1:57
cards so it's available with up to a gtx
2:00
titan meaning you can have a phenomenal gaming experience even if you want to
2:05
run something like an NVIDIA surround you know three display 3d kind of
2:10
configuration ventilation is handled in a very unique way so you can actually
2:14
see over here on this side that is pretty much entirely mesh over here
2:19
above the key component so the CPU is actually right below here and if you
2:25
come around to the back here you're going to see that the internal configuration of this case whoa hold on
2:29
a minute what's going on here is very unique indeed so it uses a mini itx
2:34
motherboard a pci express extension cable and whoa
2:39
the graphics card is in line with the motherboard what happened how in the
2:42
heck does this work it also uses a very very tiny power supply you're going to
2:47
have to be running extremely efficient components in order to make sure that
2:51
you're cooling them adequately with a tiny little fan like that while still
2:55
being able to provide enough power for all the beefy gaming goodness that you
2:59
might want and another thing to mention is that if you check us out on the Linus
3:03
tech tips forum find the thread about the Intel packs giveaways because
3:09
there's one that Intel's running on twitter where you can win an ibuypower
3:13
system and there's a second one that we're running on the forum exclusively
3:17
to win a main gear system so both of those go check them out they will still
3:21
be available to enter even after the show so if you're watching this a little
3:24
bit late you can still win something don't miss any of our show coverage
3:28
we're powered here at the show by western digital Intel and steel series
3:31
so once again a huge thanks to those guys for making this possible
