nc.com here in The Patriot Suite we have some old friends and some new friends
0:16
let's start with the new ones this is the fuel plus line so these are
0:21
rechargeable battery Banks so you've got this guy right here is actually kind of
0:24
unique can I get someone to toss me an iPhone 5 because what this has is it has
0:29
a lightning bolt connector that we can go ahead and we can plug right into an
0:33
iPhone 5 so that you don't have to really worry about there we go let's go
0:36
ahead and turn that on it's charging instantly so you don't really have to worry about sort of any cables or
0:40
anything that you have to carry around with it this one's not quite finished so
0:44
we're not really sure exactly what the finished one will look like it's a 1500
0:47
milliamp product though and then the main fuel pluses so these are
0:51
rechargeable batteries this one is 2200 and 3,000 milliamp hours so optimize for
0:56
your smartphone that's going to charge pretty much any smartphone from 0 to
1:00
completely full it's got an input charger and what's cool about the fuel
1:04
plus is that it acts as a pass through so you can actually have the phone
1:08
plugged into the one end and the fuel plus plugged into a PC or a wall outlet
1:13
and the phone will charge through it without charging the battery itself
1:17
because remember more charge and discharge Cycles is bad for your battery
1:21
there's a battery life indicator on the side that uses nice bright blue LEDs and
1:25
there are a number of different capacities so in 526,000 milliamp you've
1:30
got this larger ID it's got a nice red backing to it this one's got okay your
1:34
input Port we were expecting that and on the other side whoa we weren't expecting
1:38
that that's a 1 amp USB output and a 2 and a half amp USB output I'm going to
1:43
repeat that that's a 2 and a half amp USB output so you're going to be able to
1:47
charge up your devices faster on the fuel plus than you will on any other
1:52
portable battery pack on the market today at least that I'm aware of that's
1:55
my little asterisk cuz who knows what exists and sort of like us Beck or
2:00
something like that uh this is a 7800 milliamp and 9,000 milliamp model that
2:05
I'll do my trademark smartphone comparison I no longer do an iPhone
2:09
comparison because I don't think anyone uses them anymore this is an HTC1 this
2:13
is how big it is this is how thin it is so it's the kind of thing that maybe you
2:17
wouldn't keep in your pocket with your phone but you might keep it in your backpack as you're out and about at a
2:21
trade show say for example over here we've got the Patriot Arrow which you've
2:25
probably seen our content on just as a reminder battery powered external hard
2:30
Drive Wireless you can get it in 500 or 1 tby capacities it works with iOS
2:34
Android Kindle Fire it lasts for about 5 hours it can stream to five devices
2:39
simultaneously and you can see they've got it working on what actually confused
2:42
me I was like is that a laptop no it's an iPad so there you go they're showing
2:46
off the iOS version right here moving right along we've got of course with
2:51
Intel's fourth generation core series processor launch code name Haswell we
2:55
have compatible memory from Patriot so this is their 16 gig 2400 me gz memory
3:00
remember guys Haswell has an updated memory controller that makes it much
3:04
more Cooperative with high frequency memory not only uh not only do they have
3:09
a 2400 MHz Viper 3 right now but they're going to be following it up with a 2666
3:14
Viper 3 and those should run on pretty much any fourth generation core series
3:19
processor without any tweaks but if you checked out our Haswell overclocking
3:23
guide you'll know this already as you start to overclock the CPU you should
3:27
adjust your expectations in terms of what you can achieve for memory frequency so it's a matter of finding
3:32
that right balance between CPU frequency and memory frequency this has been our
