dropping 2018 what's up guys Jase - since here we are at the gigabyte slash or a suite here at CES 2018 and I'm holding right here when you horas x9 this is the world's thinnest SLI equipped laptop it's got two gtx 1070 GPUs in there not a max Q a full sized gtx 1070 two of them eight gigabyte versions we've got an i7 7820 h k up to 64 gigabytes of 24 hundred megahertz ddr4 and then of course you can spec it out with a ton of different storage options two different display options here both you HD which is an IPS are 100% Adobe RGB panel as well as a more gamer centric 1440p or qHD IPS 120 hertz panel so you can SPECT that out however you want but really the star of the show here is how thin this is typically when you find a gaming laptop that has any sort of high end GPU discrete solution in there you'll find they're extremely thick because they're trying to cram a massive amount of cooling in there to keep those chips cool but this has got to 10 70s and it's maintaining an extremely thin form factor I mean it's not the smallest or the lightest laptop by any means but it's definitely the most powerful in its class at this thickness now in keeping these cool you can see we've got a massive amount of ventilation right here we've got exhaust on all four corners we got exhaust coming out this way this way and out the rear and it's in taking from right here on the bottom so it's definitely got a massive amount of cooling heat pipes fans for the CPU and the GPU as you would expect but it's got quad so DIMM slots in here so you've got a lot of options in terms of config that you can outfit this with so if you're the kind of person that's looking for some sort of aid I don't know I don't want to say the term ultra portable but if you were to look at what comparable desktop solution would be in this form factor and shrink it down to this then yeah it's pretty damn for to portable at that but if you're looking for an SLI 1070 gaming laptop with an i7 and a lot of RAM and 100% OB RGB and Q HD or UHD this is definitely worth taking a look at now let's even under a rock you've probably heard that AMD has shown its new roadmap for 2018 and beyond all the way as far as 2020 and the news n + architecture coming out including the this it's going to also include threat River plus and new stuff but with that of course we have to have new chipsets and new platform this I'm holding right here is the Auris x4 70 gaming 7 Wi-Fi so this is going to be your new mainstream platform moving forward on this m+ architecture but if you're already on Rison and you're concerned about being able to upgrade will don't worry because guess what it's actually forward and backwards compatible now if you are building a system today and the new CPS aren't out yet you can actually get an X 470 motherboard like this one right here from Oris and you can install an older rise in platform or CPU and then once the new cpus come out you can upgrade to this but the gaming sevens got some pretty subtle brushed aluminum looks really good some orange accents which you know you guys know how I feel about color centric stuff right when they force you down a certain path of color but Horace's their color is orange so there it is but you can see you've got this nice open heatsink right here on the power delivery it is a 10 plus 2 power delivery so we've got an 8 pin and a 4 pin DPS power for your CPU giving you plenty of juice for overclocking because Zen plus is then - moving forward it's supposed to be very good with overclocking more headroom that we saw with the original zen architecture in 2017 of course amphora socket like you guys would expect the same type of lighting you would see on any of the Auris motherboards today so this one doesn't actually function doesn't turn on there's no running units I can't show you but I can show you the earlier samples for you know the current AM for stuff and even Intel the DIMM slots light up you've got some LEDs on the side right here this is going to be it's gonna be exciting competition didn't stop in 2017 we're moving forward with lots of fighting going on in the CPU space and of course as consumers we are going to win when that happens so this is the first X 470 we've gotten our hands on here at CES 10 what you guys think oh no don't forget of course we've got some heat sinks right here for our nvme drives and MDOT two storage solutions so keeping those nice and cool as well anyway there's that guys it's been our coverage here of gigabyte here at CES 2018 of course go to gigabyte comm to check out more they've got lots of stuff to show you guys and again a huge thank you to our sponsor EVGA for making our coverage of this year possible
