the traveling executive misses his dual
0:03
screens or her dual screens very very much I know this for a fact welcome to

Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair
0:13
maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner
0:18
is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
0:25
linkis this notebook is great it's
0:28
fantastic it is not a dual screen notebook that is not how that works
0:32
however products like this allow you to
0:36
take your notebook and have a second Monitor and they have evolved in such a
0:41
way that at this time you can get the
0:45
mb168b well not yet but you'll be able to get it soon from ASUS that allows you
0:49
to both power and transmit all the display information from a single super
0:55
speed USB 3 Port so right there one
0:59
cable everything you need you can control the brightness right here and
1:04
the power right here and there are a couple of features that are included
1:09
with the retail shipping model of this but are not actually functional yet on
1:13
this evaluation sample so number one is it's going to have Auto detecting rotate
1:18
so you can switch it to portrait mode if you want and the other thing guys is
1:22
it's going to have an ambient light sensor so you can help save on power
1:25
because it is being powered off your presumably Notebook battery the other
1:29
cool thing about this is it weighs less than a kilogram I think was the uh was
1:33
the spec no see the PM told me this but it's not on here either way it's so
1:37
light that I can hold it in two F well okay it's still kind of fragile because
1:41
it's an engineering sample product but in terms of the actual weight of it I
1:44
can hold it like that comfortably it weighs almost nothing and it is
1:49
extremely slim so that makes it again perfect for travel it comes with a carry
1:54
case as well so you can go ahead and stuff it in there nice Softly pded folds
2:00
over like that oh magnetic which is good something I didn't know yet and look at
2:05
this you can put it up at two different angles however you want so you can either prop it up in there for a more
2:10
vertical viewing experience or you can put it down here to have it lie down a
2:14
little bit more flat which might be more natural to go along with your notebook's
2:18
display so don't forget to check out the rest of our CES 2013 coverage and be
