Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
0:05
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
0:09
Digital this is part two of the ASUS component Suite which you might notice
0:14
has more systems in it than components sometimes I'm not 100% sure how they
0:17
divide these things up anyway this is the M70 desktop PC from isus and I'll
0:22
tell you guys that there's no way you can really differentiate a desktop
0:26
system based on you know oh well you know we put a processor and RAM in it
0:30
well so did everyone else well ASUS is trying to do a few things differently
0:33
with this one so number one is the fact that it comes with a fan sticking
0:38
vertically out the top of it this is the first time we've seen this design ever
0:42
and what's more unique about this is the fact that guys no it does not come with
0:46
the fan this is aqi standard wireless
0:50
charging point so they've got a little uh coil rigged up here on the bottom of
0:54
this fan and they're just showing off how it works if we had a phone all we'd
0:58
have to do is pop it down on top and Not only would it charge but there's also an
1:02
NFC pad there as well so you can use it for things like unlocking your uh your
1:08
PC you can use it for things like launching apps or for transferring your
1:12
files and photos and cool stuff like that so it's got charging and nfv NFC on
1:16
the top the last thing that's really unique about this system is the fact
1:19
that it has a builtin UPS no not a PSU a
1:24
UPS is completely different it has a built-in battery backup that they
1:28
actually tested earlier today and found that it'll run for about 8 minutes this
1:32
gives you an opportunity even in the event of a complete power failure to
1:36
back up your data before you lose it which I think is pretty darn cool so
1:40
there you go it's a desktop PC okay it's got a core I 74770 it's got a GTX 650
1:46
and all that kind of stuff but more importantly it has features that might
1:49
actually enhance the way you use your PC for this next product we have a couple
1:53
of things that are new number one is the
1:56
new Transformer p802 aiio so it's been
2:00
updated with a fourth generation series Intel processor inside so that's code
2:05
name Haswell as well as a teger 4 processor because I don't know if you
2:09
guys remember this or not but the Transformer AIO features a full Windows
2:13
8 PC in the base station as a standalone
2:16
18.4 in tablet the other thing that is new about this particular video is our
2:22
Vanna White Vanna you've put on some weight what do you have to say about
2:25
that I've been uh trying a new diet out
2:29
it's not working also you're much hairier than before well it involves
2:32
mostly eating uh poutine which I find
2:35
delicious the last thing to tell you guys here that's uh pretty darn cool
2:39
because isus got so many requests I'm just going to cover up Vana here with
2:43
this very cool product they are now releasing the Transformer aio's tablet
2:48
as a standalone 21 1/2 in Android tablet
2:51
in addition to allowing you to buy it with the bay station so if all you
2:55
wanted was a gigantic tablet Now's the Time finishing up part
3:01
two of our ASUS component Suite tour we have the RT
3:05
ac87u we don't know much about this
3:08
other than the fact that it is dualband 4x4 so that's four antennas also it has
3:13
the ability to dynamically allocate its
3:16
Wireless bandwidth according to the speed of the client on the other side or
3:20
at least the connectivity type of the client on the other side we don't know
3:24
what it looks like because this is not the finished industrial design and we
3:28
don't know pricing but we could probably extrapolate based on other you know AC
3:34
top-of-the-line ASUS rers it'll be somewhere in the neighborhood of 220 or
3:38
so dollars and it will be faster than we've ever seen before guys don't miss
