Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by NCI XCOM your source for great technology selection and service along with corsair Memory and western digital this is part two of the Asus component suite which you might notice has more systems in it than components sometimes I'm not a hundred percent sure how they divide these things up anyway this is the m70 desktop pc for masseuse and i'll tell you guys that there's no way you can really differentiate a desktop system based on you know oh well you know we put a processor and ram in it and well so did everyone else well asus is trying to do a few things differently with this one so number one is the fact that it comes with a fan sticking vertically out the top of it this is the first time we've seen this design ever and what's more unique about this is the fact that guys know it does not come with the fan this is a Qi standard wireless charging point so they've got a little coil rigged up here on the bottom of this fan and they're just showing off how it works if we had a phone all we'd have to do is pop it down on top and not only would it charge but there's also an NFC pad there as well so you can use it for things like unlocking your your PC you can use it for things like launching apps or for transferring your files and photos and cool stuff like that so it's got charging and nsv NFC on the top the last thing that's really unique about this system is the fact that it has a built-in UPS no not a psu a UPS is completely different it has a built-in battery backup that they actually tested earlier today and found that it'll run for about eight minutes this gives you an opportunity even in the event of a complete power failure to backup your data before you lose it which i think is pretty darn cool so there you go it's a desktop PC okay it's got a core i7 4770 it's got a GTX 650 and all that kind of stuff but more importantly it has features that might actually enhance the way you use your pc for this next product we have a couple of things that are new number one is the new Transformer p 1802 aio so it's been updated with a fourth generation series intel processor inside so that's code-named Haswell as well as a Tegra 4 processor because i don't know if you guys remember this or not but the transformer AIO features a full windows a pc in the base station as a standalone 18.4 inch tablet the other thing that is new about this particular video is our Vanna White Vanna you've put on some weight what do you have to say about that I've been trying a new diet out it's not working also you're much hairier than before well it involves mostly eating poutine which I find delicious the last thing to tell you guys hear that site pretty darn cool because it's just got so many requests i'm just going to cover up vana here with this very cool product they are now releasing the transformer AIO s tablet as a standalone a 21 and a half inch android tablet in addition to allowing you to buy it with the base station so if all you wanted was a gigantic tablet now's the time finishing up part two of our ASIS component sweet tour we have the our TAC 87 you we don't know much about this other than the fact that it is a dual band four by four so that's four antennas also it has the ability to dynamically I'll allocate its wireless bandwidth according to the speed of the client on the other side or at least the connectivity type of the client on the other side we don't know what it looks like because this is not the finished industrial design and we don't know pricing but we could probably extrapolate based on other you know AC the top-of-the-line asus routers it'll be somewhere in the neighborhood of 220 or so dollars and it will be faster than we've ever seen before guys don't miss any of our CES 2014 coverage here at the show our trip here was powered by NCI XCOM your source for great technology selection and service as well as corsair Memory and western digital without those guys we would not have been able to be here bringing you this content
