your hardware canucks 2014 CS coverage is brought to you by and see IX technology connected hey guys so now we're going to take a look at the brand new ROG 27 inch monitor from acs now one of the key huge things about this is I've already told you it's g-sync so it's gonna be retailing for 799 but one of the really cool things about this panels they didn't skimp out on any type of thing at all whatsoever I mean it's got a really thin bezel fully height adjustable you have tilt it swivels but one of the really cool thing about this panel that I absolutely love and I think it's incredibly innovative is the actual menu you can control it you know left right up and down through this little joystick which is really really really cool and it's a really great touch I mean beyond the fact that it is a g-sync monitor I mean that's one of the cool things that we come to expect from asus and there ROG line now I already told you guys multiple multiple times this technology is life-changing if you're a gamer this is the panel that you want to buy it is incredibly crisp incredibly fast and there is no lag no stutter there's no tearing it's absolutely beautiful alright so we are here the CES 2014 with asus press conference one of the very unique products that india now it's aside from the amazing that monitor that matt just showed you guys was this Asus Transformer book due at TD 300 so this is the world's first four and one which means it's it can be act as a laptop as a desktop as a tablet both the OS for windows and Android so this is a dual OS system there's a physical button to change between systems so right now we are in Windows pressing the android / windows button will get us into the Android operating system and the reason why you want to do that is because this is a foreign one so you can actually just disagreeing like so this is a 13.3 inch display this is a full HD resolution we're with the lower resolution panels available so this is an IPS panel as you can see the viewing angles are pretty nice so all the way around they do have a TN panel with a very poor viewing angles and pricing would be 99 for full HD and for 90 95 99 for TN panel lower resolution display coming around to sort of the the belly laptop so this is a plastic cover we have a power button over here along with the volume rocker I kind of locate it in the corner and they do protrude so that they'll be very easy sort of to find exactly where they are we also have dual speakers so these are stereo speakers they're kind of very discreet almost almost invisible but we did hear demo and they sound pretty loud at the bottom we have the connection jack for your power a headphone jack and low inserts for the docking station and we also have a windows button so once we are and actually let's let's say in Windows let's go back and get inside windows so attaching this to the docking station docking station will act both as a keyboard the trackpad of course this is a touchscreen display so you can use that just as a touchscreen but as you can see we're in Android ecosystem with a mouse which is pretty cool this is something that if you want to have a more precise navigation that's oh that's also available so the interesting things about the docking station is that this is a dual storage system so they have an SSD inside the tablet and the hard drive inside the docking station so you have a bit of flexibility with that closing the TD 300 it is 1.9 kilograms inside here we have an ethernet port USB 3 HDMI and your power nothing on here aside from events for the actual notebook for the tablet I mean USB 2 and a headphone jack and at the back we have we also have a micro SD card slot actually for the tablet so a little bit of flexibility there in terms of what you can do with this asus transformer the duet TD 300 a very unique and innovative products from a soon so i definitely see a lot of functionality with this type of four and one where you can dis attach the actual tablet and go ahead and do your work this way so in terms of specifications we have an eye 3 and i5 and i7 systems you'll have multiple hard drive storage available inside the action docking station in its like the tablet itself it features the actual built-in battery is inside the tablet it's not in a docking station we are told that with the Android you'll get about six to seven hours 3d gaming online while in Windows will get about four to five hours of operation so it's pretty acceptable for a product of this caliber at this price again 599 and up depending on your configuration so this has been the duet TD 300 thanks guys for watching and make sure to subscribe for the rest of CES 2014 coverage
