i'm sean hollister with cnet we're taking a look at the asus g x 700 a gaming laptop with desktop grade components not only does this laptop at the quad-core intel processor inside that can be overclocked unlike most mobile chips it has a desktop grade nvidia gtx 980 graphics chip the same kind you'd find in a giant graphics card you put in a desktop PC that can be overclocked to and the memory can be overclocked thanks to a liquid cooling system this is one of the first gaming laptops with liquid cooling and it gets that by connecting to an external dock the laptop actually has two different power adapters a 180 watt power adapter you can drop into your backpack and take with you on the go and a 330 watt power adapter that slots into the back of the docking system to get the liquid cooling radiator going while you get access to a lot of extra power with a connected to the dock you can still use it when it's unplugged it'll just revert the performance of a mobile graphics chip when you do so the one thing it has that you don't see on a lot of gaming laptops is 84 k or 1080p screen with G sync technology it's an Nvidia technology it tries to smooth out the image by eliminating the tearing and stuttering you might usually see when the graphics chip is trying to send images to the display right now we can't tell asus didn't actually have any games running on this system in our brief demo but we're looking forward to trying it out soon you'll be able to find a full review on cnet when it ships later this year
