0:05
your mobile devices game consoles and controllers check him out at V Francom
0:08
clash des 2018 so over in monitor land
0:12
the big focus for LG this year is nano
0:16
cell IPS displays boasting up to 500
0:19
nits peak brightness and HDR 10 support
0:22
with 98% coverage at the DCI p3 color
0:25
space they're showing off a 5k ultra-wide that's a first with
0:30
Thunderbolt 3 input as well as display point input and
0:33
finally LG freaking finally a g-sync 34
0:40
inch 120 Hertz gaming display so that's about 20% faster than a sir's predator x
0:46
34 but I got distracted from the
0:51
monitors and I ended up over here because already they are replacing the Graham
0:58
that we just reviewed we just reviewed
1:03
the core 8 gen Graham actually yeah
1:07
James is using what we just got this
1:10
like like a month ago and we were like okay this is a great laptop it's super
1:14
light it's got great battery it's quad-core now which is flippin sick up
1:18
to 16 gigs RAM except for a few small issues the webcam is here which is kind
1:23
of a bummer the fingerprint sensor certain biometrics is great but it's
1:27
here which is kind of a bummer and this type C port isn't Thunderbolt so you
1:31
just can't run it with an external graphics card well you know what this
1:36
one is all of this is the buyer's remorse model because it's got a bigger
1:40
battery than ever before the same structurally reinforced chassis it's got
1:45
the touch sensor for your fingerprint built into the power button now so you
1:49
have your full trackpad to use it's got a core I know what was the other thing
1:54
oh yes it's got the webcam moved up to
1:57
the top yes and finally Thunderbolt
2:01
support on the ground so that means high speed external peripherals that means
2:06
external graphics making it far more competitive
2:10
with the blade stealth quad-core that I have been reading off of under the lens
2:14
sorry to break the illusion there and basically I cannot wait to get my hands
2:21
on this and run it through the paces because the one thing we're LG can lose
2:24
to the blade stealth here is in max turbo speeds that's going to hurt their
2:29
gaming performance compared to the blades belt if they haven't improved
2:33
that since date here we go last gen Graham the last gen a month ago Graham
