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 now we're in the MSI system suite where we've got a few different notebooks on display there's a gt70 here which has the steelseries zoned lit backlit keyboard you know it's a just generally a better keyboard than you will usually find on a typical notebook right here though this one is gorgeous so this has an intel quad-core processor it has a geforce 680m actually just like the other two that are on the table in front of me it has a killer next 16 gigs of ram 128 gig SSD plus a 128 gig SSD you for real yes crazy oh okay tell us about this storage configuration actually it's God got our super raid system actually it's got two SSDs running in a raid 0 configuration so your primary dr plus a hard drive so your primary drives are as fast as possible you could load minecraft in like really the the fastest possible speed oh good thank you i was concerned about how quickly i could load minecraft here we've got the GT 60 which is basically a 15 inch version also has the steelseries keyboard also has a 6 ATM and is also a quad-core now I'd like to move over to this little number right over here this is the gx60 so what's special about this Alex I mean we can clearly see you've got a bunch of monitors on the table but why have you done that the gx60 is special because it's got the AMD Radeon HD 7970m and using this mobile processor mobile graphics processors so you could actually run eyefinity on a notebook and this is something that's uh you know usually I finished he or any multi-display gaming is usually reserved for desktop you know graphic cards and desktop systems but this is the first for mobile system now you're probably not going to be running far cry 3 at full details on something like this but from a Productivity standpoint it would be great to be able to plug in at home fire up two additional monitors and so you can game on the notebook you can use three displays for your office applications yeah but I mean you were running like a dx9 game that's a little bit less I as far as the graphics is concerned and even if you limit down the resolution of the secondary monitors you can actually play at a you know pretty decent framerate very cool stuff finishing up the NSI system sweet we have a couple of really cool notebooks you might notice that they look very similar to the gaming notebooks that we just saw before but the key difference is that these include quadro graphics cards so this guy is the k1000 and the guy on your right is the k2000 what that means is when you're accelerating professional applications you are going to be able to take advantage of not only the performance acceleration you get from CUDA but also some of the quadrille optimizations that are made in the driver and in the GPU so Alex can you tell us why these look like the gaming models the biggest the biggest reason why these are the look like the gaming models is because the quadrille GPU itself actually looks very it's not something that looks it's a very similar to the desktop geforce very version and the gaming notebooks have the proper thermal in place so design wise to vent the heat from the quadrille chips themselves now I would like to you know pull off a little magic trick and I'm going to pull the coolest thing in the MSI system sweet out of my proverbial buttocks and chose you guys this freaking cool ultrabook so it looks like a tablet but they're calling it ultrabook why is it called an ultrabook because boom not only that but you can adjust the angle you want to use it at it's a little bit stiff so that you can basically put it wherever you want so this is a core i5 what are you guys calling this guy this is called the this is called the s20 slider it's obviously uh sliding and and you can actually use it as a tablet you could use it for for multiple things you know and you can also download all of the apps off of the the xbox live store I think whatever they call them whatever they call it i'm not i haven't used up use this just this this particular setup yet so so guys it's got an IPS screen 10-point multi-touch and unlike a lot of tablets check this out you've actually got things like ethernet connectivity you've got here we go again H mini-hdmi you've got two USB 3.0 ports so this really is an ultrabook because you have to build those into your specification to get that ultrabook stamp of approval from Intel but you can use it as a tablet and what kind of battery life are you getting out of this guy it's got pretty the battery life it's good it's a good five or six hours if not longer I actually have an opt tested the entire you know think to its full extent you know but you can extrapolate based on how long its lasting here at the show while you're showing yeah yeah when one charger basically last us so practically the entire days worth of you know regular just messing around on ms paint or whatever alright guys so don't miss any of our CES 2013 coverage and as always don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and big thanks to msi for showing us around the sweet thanks for watching linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by corsair seagate technology and linksys you
