guys welcome to our first video from CES 2013 we're here in the Asus notebooks sweet while notebooks and tablets and I think you're gonna see that the line has been somewhat blurred between those categories based on what we're about to show you here today 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 so right here is the Thai tea one and the Taichi 31 the Taichi 21 we've sort of seen before it's an eleven point six inch tablet with 10-point multi-touch but did I say tablet did I say no but see I'm getting confused already because it is a notebook it is a tablet and you've got a wide variety of different ways that you can actually interact with it so see how quickly wakes up from sleep too so check this out guys we're gonna go to the desktop here so we're gonna click on that and I'm gonna show you guys some really cool so think about all the ways you can use this this is an ultrabook so it's super portable you're a sales rep you're a photographer you want to be able to show someone something quickly without doing the old well here let me work on this and let me show it to you over there now I can't see what they're doing it's it's it's not very it's not as interactive so now what you can do is you use this button right here to decide how you want to use it you press the Enter key boom now it's a 10-point multi-touch tablet these are two IPS screens that are built into this notebook here so the viewing angles are fantastic and the brightness as we've come to expect from Asus I mean look look at something like TF 700 just fantastic is love meets expectations but I guess that that doesn't sound as good as it actually is now the next mode you can do is check this out mirror so now there's the presentation scenario I'm talking about instead of it just being a tablet now it's got a tablet side where you can interact with it through touch but that exact same thing is now showed on the non touch side where you're expected to interact with a keyboard and a touch pad last but not least this guy right here so this is an extend mode basically what you're doing you're taking that screen on the back and pretending that it swings out this way so it's an extended desktop so you can do something like if you're sitting working the kids are bothering you I mean they're they're distracting you in some way you go look sit over there where I can see you they wrecked something they're in timeout you go look okay fine here watch a movie drag it over to the other video or to the other screen maximize it boom you're watching a video over here so four different ways you can you this guy right here is a new version so now it comes in a 13.3 inch size still Full HD so 1920 by 1080 and basically more of the same so let's get some let's get some really nice sort of glamor shots of this remember guys this is an ultrabook in spite of the fact that asus has built another screen a piece of glass which adds to the weight adds to the thickness this is still needing the intel Ultrabook specification while also being a full-blown Windows 8 tablet now very very very cool stuff on this side you can see we've got a few different things here so give me one moment I'm gonna find out what this little button does asus is finding out for us but we actually figured it out already so what this does is it completely disables the back screen so even if you accidentally hit one of the the hot keys to change the screen modes on it it will just not go to that one it keeps it it actually keeps it off so other than that we've got power we've got indicator LED micro HDMI VGA that you can output with an adapter super speed USB 3 remember guys super speed USB 3 or Thunderbolt our requirements you have to have one or the other to get the Ultrabook status from Intel we have another super speed USB free so AC system not one but two of those finally SD expansion volume control remember it's you need a dedicated Hardware volume control switch because of the fact that it is both a mill book and a tablet so thanks for checking out our coverage of the Tai Chi 21 and Taichi 31 don't forget to subscribe to - tech tips for more videos like this and make sure that you guys check out our other CES 2013 coverage thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and lynxes
