0:00 this video from tes 2018 is brought to you by D brand makers of sick skins for
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
