NCIX Tech Fair Booth Review 4 - ASUS Nvidia Galaxy

2012-05-13
welcome to be a su spoon so I know in my preview I said he Sue's had a wide variety of products here but I only showed like one motherboard no no they have more stuff than that a sous is involved in everything monitors all-in-one PCs notebooks tablets motherboards video cards networking even cases I think although not really in North America so let's have a look at what they got here number one they have a g54 yet so this is part of the gaming series that is also populated by the g74 which is the seventh er grounders yeah the 17 inch version this is the 15 inch version these are I've actually done an unboxing of a g-53 at one point so these are super beefy gaming machines with huge cooling vents at the back and basically the republic of gamers edition of what a notebook would be next we've got the asuste transformer pad tf300 so this is kind of a lower-cost version of the transformer prime it uses a plastic back instead of the metal back and personally I actually prefer this I've talked about the galaxy tab 10.1 how I like the plastic back because you don't worry about scratching it or like staining it with your fingerprints this makes sense to me alright moving object goes with it so the robot walk adds not only a keyboard and additional expansion including not that way USB as well as an SD slot but it also adds additional battery life so when you dock you can have up to 15 hours of battery life between the battery that's in here and the battery that's in here together and also have a touchpad which you can use to navigate the android OS has on it finally the zenbook so the zenbook is one that i actually did a full NCIX tech geeks episode on and at that time the zenbook had a bit of a quirk we're down here the touchpad was non-responsive you can see with the latest n book the mouse cursor is moving can you see the movie even though I'm touching all of the touchpad it continues to move the spine so the zenbook the one problem that I might have had with it gone let's move around to the other side of the sister here we brought one of their all in ones this is also something that I've done video coverage of in the past although I had windows 8 preview running on and it looks like they've only got windows seven so my video is definitely cooler from last time than this one but it's a pretty neat little all-in-one machine it's owned by NCIX detectives Jenna we've also got a couple of their of their high-end networking products including a wireless router here as well as another other more different wireless router here so this is the rtn 66u Dark Knight this is a phenomenally popular router at NCIX right now I actually don't know too much about it myself but i can tell you we're selling a lot of them and they aren't coming back so that's as strong an endorsement as their candy on the other side of the ACS bored bored booth we have their motherboards so we have everything from their rampant our republic of gamers maximus five gene so this is basically all of the features that you would find in a full-size ATX gaming machine except in a mini eight our micro ATX form factor so that is sli and crossfire compatible compatibility awesome cooling all the i/o that you could possibly need except for that additional three expansion slots we've also got the sabertooth z77 which i think I've covered pretty thoroughly already it looks like some of the dust covers have walked off but yeah one of them still on here that's where one of the fan skills that's where the other fan goes so it's got their thermal armor which allows you to basically keep all the components cool and free of dust we've also got excuses series 27-inch life is compatible 3d display as you guys probably know if you watch my show I pretty much don't believe you should be buying a 3d display unless you get one with like this it makes an enormous difference in terms of the crockpot between the images as well as the headache inducing this personally I get a headache from 3d vision one no headache 3d vision to last but not least we've got a gaming machine over here that apparently antec got their little paws on this one too because it's all intact out as well as they see stuff so this is one of their director you see you two cards asus is actually one of the few vendors that does triple slot graphics cards now while this may not be ideal for users who are running SLI especially if you want like 3-way SLI or through the crossfire because they won't all fit in a board it is ideal if you're running a single part because it means that you got that much more metal strap to your card keeping it cool so if you can see from the bottom okay you know what I can't see from the bottom this guy's actually got two cooling fans Milton and the rest of the system is pretty neat too this is a really neat power supply there aren't many 80 plus platinum power supplies and not many low wattage ones so what you'll discover is that most power supplies peak at around fifty to sixty percent load in terms of their efficiency that's where they're going to hit their maximum efficiency and with the highly efficient gaming parts that we had these days like gtx 680 radeon HD 7970 as well as new Ivy Bridge processors what we need in terms of high-end power supplies he has low wattage extremely efficient power supplies in order to get the most out of them Kingston also about their grubby paws on his boots with some hyperx memory going on in here as well as a hyperx SSD welcome to the nvidia booth nvidia i mean these guys are doing so much amazing stuff these days not just with geforce on the desktop but also with pegre on the mobile side so for their actually got you can use these but personally i prefer the concrete information they have a new sous tablet powered by an nvidia tegra chip that is outputting to here which looks really good it looks very impressive all that stuff but what is even more impressive is the fact that cutter move there we go if the fact that they have this going on the full-size 1080p that TV right in front of me you can play with your tablet you can play with the remote controller whatever you want we are experiencing HD gaming at its finest in spite of the fact that this device is thinner than a phone which is pretty cool so let's keep moving right along here we've got a couple of other things including the issues transformer prime so I've covered this one in the past already this is running the Tegra 3 processor which is a five core processor it has four main course and one auxiliary port for power saving and you can check out my unboxing on my Linus tech tips channel if you want any more details on it Tegra 3 basically turns Android into the experience that I thought it should have been peg or two is fast especially for things like gaming but in terms of the overall snappiness and responsiveness of the platform Tegra 3 really kicks it up a notch remember Tegra 3 is a quad-core effective versus two fours effective for tegra 2 you've only got a couple pretty neat gaming notebooks here 7676 70s and six a key so these are for ms tiny sous this and the side model is actually the one that I'm more familiar with this uses their custom steel series designed by steelseries backlit keyboard as well as their dynaudio on the solution both of these are really a couple steps ahead of the competition in terms of what they're doing to make the tactile experience of your notebook gaming notebook excellent as well as the audio experience now these are not for the faint at heart these are thick notebooks they're heavy however if you want the ultimate gaming experience on the go with a quad-core processor a high-end nvidia graphics card then that's pretty much what you're going to want to go 75 and this is the new v75 so this is a brand-new design the g74 saw several revisions of CPUs as well as GPUs go into it before it looks like they have finally redesigned this notebook I actually haven't seen this one yet you can see remnants of the original g74 design like the way the hinges are position here however they've looks like it completely redone the interior design so they've got a great soft touch feel here this is actually a bit rougher than most soft touch which i think is a good thing because it will keep it from wearing out as quickly as most soft touch finishes do in terms of i/o we've also got an upgrade here we've got blu-ray SD to USB 3 SuperSpeed ports and on the other side we have a wide variety of things actually we've got more SuperSpeed USB two more of those we've actually got HDMI gigabit ethernet as well as what the heck is that with a SAP thunderbolt looks like it's wonderful correct me if I'm wrong here guys but I think that's Thunderbolt leave a comment under the video if I'm wrong and coupled together with the nvidia booth one of their board partners decided to come to the tech fair as well galaxy has got a be sleep gaming machine going in here with one of their custom non-reference video cards that it looks like a gtx 670 GC with the dual fan cooling solution so they've got that running a 3d vision devil oh no they don't have to be vision sorry they have treaty vision stuff here but they bought it running unigine heaven just so you can see how absolutely beastly it is also if you can't check out the galaxy goop make sure you bug them for one of these I've got one these are these are dead GPUs from RMA's over the years so these are older GPUs and they cut them in plastic and it makes for like a really cool little keychain finally they've got their lineup of graphics cards unfortunately they don't have the gtx 670 or 680 here because they're rarer than hen's teeth however as a show deal we do have the gtx 670 for 369 dot 99 that the galaxy reference card which is pretty cool however remember the gtx 670 and 680 are great for surround gaming but so is the MDT serious brown galaxy so they've got a 5 65 75 80 that are all capable of three monitors surround gaming we actually did an NCIX tech tips on that not that long ago on the NCIX comm channel so thank you for checking out our coverage on all of the booths at the NCIX tech
