Gigabyte - UltraForce Laptops, X99 SOC Champion, Brix Mini PC

2015-01-07
alright guys now one thing I've not taken a look at a lot on this channel and I get a lot of questions about is gaming laptops I've actually not really paid a whole lot of tension of what's going on in the industry of gaming laptops so today we're going to take a look at gigabytes ultra force ultra slim lightweight mobile gaming computers now we've got the p34 w here it's a 14 inch gaming laptop it's available up to a 512 gigabyte msata SSD GTX 970 am capable full HD screen it's actually giving you one of the best performance per size ratio here coming in at under 4 pounds the thing is extremely light it's got fan tweak on their amazing battery life you can actually adjust the fans to make the thing quieter if it's not under load not many laptops actually give you a fan curb adjustment but the ultra force is actually giving you that now if you want a little bit bigger screen maybe a little bit more power than the p35 XV 3 would probably be a little bit more in your alley and it's a 15 inch screen available all the way up to a 9 ATM graphics card for the fastest graphics card you can put in a mobile solution right now and of course the storage is linear as well you can actually have two SSDs in this laptop now if you just want to pull out all the stops and you just want to get the best performance you possibly can out of a laptop and the ultra force p 37 x it's a brand new laptop laptop but they're bringing the market here it's a 17.3 inch screen it's got a 9 ATM graphics card in there which is you know we've already mentioned is the fastest mobile graphics card you can actually install but here's the thing it's got macro keys on the left side which people have said they want it's also got to em say two slots in there on top of the SSD that's already installed in the unit giving you three hard drive slots and on the front here it actually has an optical drive I'm but not only is it an optical drive right if you're like me you think I don't use optical drives why would I want that or you already thinking like I am and check this out you could actually hot swap out the slim drive use their included bracket for SSD saitta slide this in with another SSD you have for hard drives in a gaming laptop so no longer do you have to deal with storage capacity and size issues with the computer guys become a superior hey what's up guys Jay's two cents here continuing my gigabyte coverage here at CES 2015 and as you know intel mentioned and launched Broadwell just the other day and of course that means gigabyte is bringing you a brand new bricks tiny ultra mini PC alright guys now let's go and be honest i am going to cheat and use the little card here because this thing is so new i have not had time to memorize the specs on this but first thing to mention is it does feature both or all three i3 i5 and i7 Broadwell cpus the 50 1050 twenty and fifty five or fifty 250 500 you broadwell cpus now they're claiming that we're seeing upwards of twenty percent improvement overall by using broadwell in the bricks now if you guys are know what bricks is it is basically just a altra tiny PCM aids got msata in here it's got em say to m dot two for the wireless so you no longer using that you know that pcie mini PCIe so you get faster wireless speeds on this you get the bluetooth 4.0 and the i7 models actually have NFC capability now what people were doing with the bricks is also using these as multimedia pcs and hooking them up to some sort of a cloud storage or in-home storage for your movies and stuff in fact some of these models last year I think this one does too but don't entirely quote me on it actually had a visa mounts you could mount this on the back of your TV a bricks is actually something that I think is really cool it's something that I was kind of fan blowing over last year and I thought was really awesome but you guys know me when it comes to overclocking and gigabyte also launched this year here at CES the brand new x 99 s OC champion overclocking motherboard now I'm on the surface it may look like an OC force but this is actually when it comes to overclocking pulls out all the stops got a layer PCB you've got extra pins in the 2011 socket which you can actually toggle those pins on and off with a bio switch here so that you can actually activate and deactivate those pins based on your overclocking mood but this thing is freaking heavy I wish you could feel this I mean you can actually see from the side there is no bowing or bending in this thing you actually it's yeah I'm bending their board guys I'm trying to anyway it is very very rigid but this was actually used on Monday in their overclocking event where they exceeded 4000 megahertz speed on ddr4 I mean ddr4 is really starting to mature now we're starting to see motherboards that can actually stabilize that speed and the SOC champion is certainly nothing short of that I mean you've got heat pipes running on all of the via the vrm coolers here mosfet coolers but you still have 4-way SLI capable so you can still run this thing in a gaming system and just overclocked the hell out of your 2011 dash 3 socket cpu so guys check out the x99 SOC champion on gigabytes website if you want to learn a little bit more about that and well this is awesome actually alright guys well huh you know we are here in the gigabyte booth and of course it wouldn't be gigabyte if we didn't have water force now I want to point out that i'm standing next to the thing and i'm still alive so that's not entirely terrible right but no they actually are very committed to this project I mean the water force is something that they believe in and I guess they actually sold out of the units they had sent over to the United States so somebody is obviously introduced interested in this but i do want to kind of point out that the case of though you see here was apparently a lot more befitting of the project than the one that i was using but you know hey i figure we at least do some mention here the water force this is their big push and we had a meeting with gigabyte actually want to point this out and I got an opportunity to really tell them you know how I felt about the water for swear I felt they missed the mark what they should have done they have definitely seen your comments so i wouldn't be surprised in the future if we did see some revamp of the idea so that's why we're even talking about it today is I do want you guys to know that they heard you and that they are committed to water force but of course it's their very first attempt at doing water cooling they really wanted to hit the 3-way SLI market but they're definitely hearing especially with the meeting that we had my emphasis on single card single card is where it's at so who knows maybe in the future we could see a single 120-millimeter version of that my call to action on you guys is what do you want to see from gigabyte when it comes to water force what would be perfect now I had suggested doing a single 120-millimeter read and calling it a day and they definitely heard that and they definitely feel that that could be possible but I think it's important for you guys to really be constructive in the comments and tell people or tell gigabyte what it is you think would actually be viable what would you buy and guys they're watching so I figured would at least talk about water for so I kind of beat up on it a little bit but hey here we are and we're all still friends so that's a great thing right as always guys we were hanging out here at the gigabyte overclocking event going on as well as checking out some of the things that they're bringing a market here in 2015 as always guys thanks for helping crowdfund this video no sponsors on this one just you guys and as always following twitter if you have any questions behind the scenes coverage as see you in the next one yes
