the traveling executive misses his dual screens or her dual screens very very much I know this for a fact welcome to Linus tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is Linksys this notebook is great it's fantastic it is not a dual-screen notebook that is not how that works however products like this allow you to take your notebook and have a second monitor and they have evolved in such a way that at this time you can get the MB one six eight B well not yet but you'll be able to get it soon from a Seuss that allows you to both power and transmit all the display information from a single super speed USB 3 port so right there one cable everything you need you can control the brightness right here and the power right here and there are a couple of features that are included with the retail shipping model of this but are not actually functional yet on this evaluation sample so number one is it's going to have Auto detecting rotate so you can switch it to portrait mode if you want and the other thing guys is it's going to have an ambient light sensor so you can help save on power because it is being powered off your presumably notebook battery the other cool thing about this is it weighs less than a kilogram I think was the was the spec note see the PM told me this but it's not on here either way it's so light that I can hold it in to fit well okay it's still kind of fragile because it's an engineering sample product but in terms of the actual weight of it I can hold it like that comfortably it weighs almost nothing and it is extremely slim so that makes it again perfect for travel it comes with a carry case as well so you can go ahead and stuff it in there nice softly padded folds over like that no magnetic which is good something I didn't know yet and look at this you can put it up at two different angles however you want so you can either prop it up in there for a more vertical viewing experience or you can put it down here to have it lie down a little bit more flat which might be more natural to go along with your notebooks display so don't forget to check out the rest of our CES 2013 coverage and be subscribe to Linus tech tips because we going to have lots of videos about all the cool stuff here at the show thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and Lynx's
