our coverage of computex 2017 is brought to you by the Corsair 1 and Synergy
0:05
check them out at the link in the video description so my initial plan for the
0:08
Gigabyte Suite was pretty straightforward drop by check out the
0:11
x299 boards and then GTFO then I saw this thing this is not
0:19
the thinnest GTX 1080 gaming notebook
0:22
that's here at the show both ASUS and
0:25
Acer actually have thinner ones but gigabytes approach to VI's Max Q design
0:32
technology that they announced here in my opinion is a little bit better Balan
0:37
so yes inside this device is a
0:41
fully-fledged GTX 1080 8 gig GDDR 5x
0:46
overclockable graphics card and while you might not be that impressed cuz it
0:50
is about a half a cimeter thicker than ASUS's design in my opinion they've made
0:56
fewer gross tradeoffs than both of the
0:59
other guys with a touchpad that's in a normal location and a massive 94w hour
1:06
battery not to mention that the rest of the specs are looking pretty balls to
1:11
the wall as well it's got a great mix of IO with support for up to three external
1:16
4K displays it's got four full-size USB
1:19
ports in addition to a type-c and a
1:22
Thunderbolt 3 Port it's got HDMI out it's got an SD card reader and Hardline
1:27
networking making it suitable for work station use and that's not all that
1:32
makes it suitable for workstation use the 4K display might not be high refresh
1:36
rate which I would prefer but it's panone certified it's got a number pad
1:41
it's got programmable macro keys and the
1:44
whole keyboard is RGB backlit with a nice feeling touchpad that I wish was a
1:48
little bit more responsive feeling but these are small complaints because when
1:53
you open this thing up it has absolutely got it where it counts to go along with
1:57
the overclockable graphics card they've got an overclockable core i7 7820hk quad
2:03
core up to 64 GB of ddr4 memory and you
2:08
can even swap them yourself because they're sodum based they've got two m.2
2:12
slots with support for raid zero in addition to a 2 and 1/2 in Drive Bay and
2:18
they are rocking a massive 94w hour
2:22
battery so that extra half a cm is
2:25
really being put to good use now you
2:29
aren't going to get this for cheap it's going to cost over
2:32
$3,000 but so far this is looking like
2:36
the best balanced thin GTX 1080 notebook
2:40
that I've seen it might seem a little cludy that you got this little kickstand
2:44
thing to get a little bit of extra cooling but in my opinion it actually
2:47
feels less flimsy than as's vent that
2:50
opens up when you flip open the
2:54
display so thanks for watching and a huge shout out to Synergy for allowing
2:57

3:01
