and here in the Samsung booth were gonna start with the Siri seven Chronos 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 so this is an update to their existing series seven funnels that adds touchscreen functionality as well as an updated spec you can get this guy with up to 100 byte of storage 16 gigs of ram a core i7 it is significantly thinner than the old one but even more important than any of that is the fact that it ships as a Radeon 88 70 graphics card with two gigs of RAM so while this looks like a professional machine that you could actually not look out of place at a business meeting with it is a reasonably capable gaming machine to say the least in terms of i/o you've got your power in you've got this innovative little Ethernet jack that pops down because the profile the notebook is actually too slim for a full size Ethernet jack VGA out again makes it suitable for business travel but also gaming HDMI out to super speed USB 3 ports a headphone microphone combo port I want to just show you guys the thinness of the unit with my trademark iPhone comparison there you go nice big touchpad love to see that especially if these wide format monitors it drives me crazy it drives me crazy when you have a small touchpad however that's not really where this guy shines it has a 10-point multi-touch touchscreen the biggest difference between this and the older Chronos on the other side we find s the expansion 2 USB 2.0 ports as well as a Kensington logs we couldn't see this too well in the last shot but I've turned on the backlit keyboard so the back light shines through both the letters and around the outside of the keys please feel overall very solid and actually that Wow look at that check this out guys so I'm gonna do one of my trademark flex tests so I'm putting fair amount of pressure on the notebook itself there's almost no flex to the unit whatsoever so that really does show the build quality that goes into something like this beyond just the actual specs that it runs one thing I missed on that last one guys is the JBL audio that's integrated I'm glad to see all manufactured pretty much everyone stepping up and improving the audio experience that you have with your notebook right here we have their series 7 Ultrabook and this addresses every complaint I could have had about their last generation series 7 Ultrabook one thing is it adds the 10-point multi-touch the next thing is this is not a TN panel anymore this is a pls panel which means that the viewing angles are outstanding look at this orange right here okay that's not gonna work if I do it that way look at this orange I'm gonna tilt this you're gonna see it still looks orange so that is why you're going to have just a totally premium experience with this mod with this with this model I hate seeing TN panels on high-end notebooks this is a truly high-end notebook it has an 85 70 oh crap I think I screwed that one up 85 70 Samsung's upgraded series 7 ultra book has pretty much everything I could have asked for they've added dedicated graphics with an 85 70 Radeon graphics processor with one gig of memory it's configurable with a core i5 or Core i7 you can configure it with up to 256 gigs of SSD storage and last but not least up to 8 gigs of memory but it's not all just about that so yes it's extremely slim and that's all fine and good and all that so we'll do our traditional iPhone comparison for thickness here I'm actually going to fold down the screen just because it should wake up instantly because it has an SSD inside it there you go extremely slim let's show the i/o so we've got one of those folding gigabit ethernet ports love seeing full-size Gigabit Ethernet on an ultrabook HDMI super speed USB 3 headphone microphone combo VGA out with an adapter which makes it perfect for business 2 USB ports Kensington lock and SD expansion ok so yes gaming on the go yes Ultrabook touchscreen now so they've added a full multi-touch touchscreen and more important than anything else about it in my personal opinion is the fact that they are no longer using a TN panel on their series 7 Ultrabook this is a pls panel which means that when they say 178 degree viewing angle they actually mean it have a look at how the screen looks from here I'm gonna tilt it like this it looks the same except for reflection your colors are not going to distort whether you change the angle horizontally or vertically you can still see the color on the screen love high-end screens love dedicated GPUs and I love touchscreen when it comes to Windows 8 machines so this looks pretty good stay tuned for more CES 2013 coverage from Linus tech tips don't forget to be subscribed so you don't miss any of it thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and Linksys you
