here at CES 2019 we've seen a whole range of desktops and laptops that go from freakin incredible to genuinely disappointing and now it's time for our roundup of the top five Intel powered computers sponsored by Intel starting of course with the Orion 9000 or more specifically the Orion 9000 hooked up to what acer is calling the throne oafs this thing couldn't be more aptly named it comes with the core i7 8700 k processor and r-tx 20 ATT i like 64 gigs of ram or something crazy like that it's this giant tower but it's nothing compared to the chair that actually comes as part of the package so for your $10,000 you get an awesome gaming system a full set of gaming peripherals three 27-inch 144 Hertz gaming monitors and a motorized gaming cockpit that not just has an arm that swings open and closed to bring your peripherals to you but it also has drink holders a USB hub and even a zero gravity mode where it tilts the entire thing back so you can be completely immersed in your games the last thing that blew me away is that a sir will come to your house and set it up for you a process that they say will take two hours or more next up we've got the Corsair one pro so two years ago when the Corsair one originally came out we were amazed that they were properly cooling and powering a quad-core processor and a GTX 1080 in such a small package with water cooling - but since then Corsair has turned up the dial upping the course - six and we were like okay that's nice but then 12:12 course in the Corsair one pro and they claimed it could handle even Intel's 18 core processors if someone wanted to come in and upgrade it themselves so this thing cannot just gain but it can crank out renders streams and generally hold its own in any kind of workstation and generally hold its own in any kind of light workstation application like video editing and when it is time to game the one pro is equipped with an RT x20 atti and they've got a 750 watt power supply crammed in there that like the rest of the fans in the system can be turned off when it's idle so it is darn near silent next up what if you want to go even smaller than a corsair one Wells otech has you covered with the Mac Mini crammed into this nine point one seven liter chassis they have somehow got a core i7 8700 and an nvidia r-tx 2070 meaning you can have real gaming power at a landlord like dreamhack or something without breaking your back the rest of the loadout is fairly sensible with 16 gigs of ram a 240 gig SSD and 2 terabytes of hard drive space to store all your games and currently it's destined to be available in this black color in a month or two and then they also have for other funky colors that could be coming if there's interest keeping with this video's theme of increasing portability as we go asus made this so the rog mothership it's like a laptop but with the laptop bits moved up behind the screen so moving the components here has allowed them to make it a lot thinner than the G 703 that it sort of replaces due to the improved thermals that they get when the computer part isn't being choked out by sitting right next to the desk the rog mothership features a detachable wireless keyboard meaning you can Center its position in a more comfortable way compared to the screen and if you're worried about latency by the way you can plug it in via USB type-c of course it wouldn't be a desktop replacement if it didn't have the horses of a desktop but fear not rocking a core I nine 8950 hk6 poor overclocked little processor and r-tx 20/80 and a three MDOT two drives in raid zero through the CPU itself rather than all through the chipset for better bandwidth the mothership can certainly run with the big boys and we are very curious to see what it's going to be like to switch to longer term once it's passed the prototype phase on the subject of prototype phase we've got the asus strix 240 Hertz with almost every laptop under the sun getting an upgrade to RTX 20 series GPUs and of course superfast core i7 processors getting them to pump out frames isn't a problem it's having a display that can keep up but asus has fixed that by increasing the refresh rate of their new Strix car to 2 240 Hertz like the responsiveness of the display on this thing is absolutely incredible with that many frames being delivered to your eyes you'll get true competitive advantage in games like csgo and Rainbow six siege and you know what's even better it's not a TN panel meaning you get that added responsiveness and fluidity without sacrificing things like color and viewing angles now for those of you keeping score you might have realised that we already did 5 but 5 just wasn't enough when Alienware came in with their area 51 m and basically blew my mind like sure it's pretty big as far as laptops go and it doesn't change the form factor like the mothership did but somehow they got a full powered desktop core I $9.99 hundred K in this thing like look at this that is a desktop socket like you could just you could you could buy a lower end one and just rip out the CPU and put in a different chip if you wanted and the craziest thing is they didn't stop the upgrade ability there because the GPU an RTS 20/80 they are saying can also be swapped out with Dells not MXM mobile GPU form factor so that means that assuming they continue to support it which they've said they want to this machine could be spitting out top-end frame rates for years to come and I guess that about does it for our top Intel powered systems at CES 2019 thank you didn't L for sponsoring this video thank you guys for watching it and we will see you guys back at the office
