we're here in the issue sweet having a look at what might be one of the coolest things that we are going to see here at the show this year 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 is yet another notebook from a sip no I'm just kidding this is the TX 300 transformer book so this is a notebook it is a tablet so much like their Tai Chi you can use it in either form but unlike the Tai Chi you can now completely detach it from the base so the joker is making when we first walked in here because diesel has a very large android phone was this is probably the next evolution for you it's kind of like gap oh no hold on i mean i meant i am indigo i mean i'm in an elevator sorry i can't get breaking up sorry let's go standing there like that everyone sees this happening but seriously guys it comes with a core i5 or a core i7 this particular unit as a whole meets the Ultrabook specification from Intel which means that it's extremely thin extremely light has those security features includes high-speed connectivity in this case in all likelihood USB 3 on the base station but we're going to find that after runs for four to five hours on battery which is competitive with something like a surface pro from Microsoft except for the immensely larger screen it's an IPS panel that runs at full HD 1920 x 1080 it has up to a hundred and twenty eight gig msata SSD and pretty much everything is in here now that transformer brandon you guys have seen it before you know what it comes with you've got a couple things that you can take for granted number one is there's probably a detachable keyboard of some sort in this case the detachable keyboard has a keyboard it's got extra battery life in it it's got a touchpad it's also a Windows 8 machine so the experience using this is going to be way better than on an Android device then you got a bunch of other stuff there's a magnetic power SD expansion some indicator LEDs ok ok ok nothing not exceptional yet here we go to super speed USB 3 ports display port and a full-sized ethernet jack so you can use it as a wired sort of dock station once you attach it to the base the bottom is just a gorgeous brush metal finish you got that diesel that looks good looks good and the hinge as always on transformer products feels very very rigid and very solid see once without this you could hardly move the thing it's very solid chiclet style keyboard again something we've come to expect so the rest of the lid is actually a lot like you'd expect from a typical tablet you've got your volume you've got your battery indicator you've got your HDMI out so it's micro HDMI out so you can do HDMI here or display port on the base you've got headphones out microSD which gives you two SD expansion options full-size SD and microSD you've got aha this is a new dock connector well why did they do that Linus I'm going to tell you why in just a moment as soon as I make sure that there's nothing else here that I have to show your antlers your power button up there very very slim I'm actually going to do this I'm in the AC sweet and I'm pulling out my iphone the thickness comparison there there you go I'm just trying to prove a point that the asus product is incredibly slim you got that awesome check this out not only do you get expanded everything else you get expanded storage by plugging it in to the base station so it comes with I think it's a 500 gig hard drive so it's got a 101 I think I got that repositioned kind of place I'm gonna happen there we go it comes with a breaking everything no one's looking right okay good comes with an SSD in here and a 500 gig hard drive in there which means it really has all the functionality of a full notebook and all the functionality of a very large tablet or smartphone running full windows 8 no RT nonsense because it's running a core i5 or core i7 processor so thank you for checking out this video on the TX 300 we're here at CES 2013 don't forget to subscribe to make sure that you see all of our coverage of this awesome event although I don't know how much more awesome that's going to get them this thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by corsair seagate technology and linksys
