LTT Computex 2016 coverage has brought you to buy the corsair lap dog it lets you use a full-sized mouse and mechanical keyboard on the couch also thank you to msi so first off at the gigabyte suite i'm going to be checking with the Auris x7 dt this laptop will be looked into in much more detail by linus in a little while so i'm not going to cover it in its entirety but i do want to cover some major changes that were asked for by linus and a few other people in the past one the keyboard is no longer just orange backlighting it is RGB backlighting and it has a wicked amount of different modes in the software don't pay too much attention into the individual tones of the colors whoever's because they are still tweaking that the touchpad has also changed is still glass but it appears and feels quite a bit different the logo is still going to be on it I know it isn't on it here but it's still going under some changes it'll be fine but it is much more matte texture too not as slippery which I think people will like the screen has also changed the bezel instead of coming to like a single thing now has two one on each side of the center point and the screen itself has changed a little bit is still g-sync but instead of being 4k it's now 1080p 120 Hertz with 5 milliseconds of delay so if you're going for something like the shooter games on your laptop that would be quite ideal for the rest of the details on the x7 DT tune into Linus's video which will be back in the office and more in depth later on for now let's check out the arrow 14 the air 14 is equipped with a 970 or 965 M NVIDIA GPU and on the processor side you have a 6 generation i7 the one right here is a 6700 HQ so you can go pretty high-end there as well in terms of memory you've got 8 gigs or 16 gigs but it is expandable there's 2 slots and you can go up to 32 gigs the screen is a beautiful 2560 by 1440 P IPS panel and you have 2 m2 slot so I can go all the way up to nvme that is up to 10 hours of battery life in productivity mode and even then only weighs 1.8 9 kilograms with the battery installed for wireless connectivity you have wireless AC and Bluetooth 4.1 le for connectivity on the right hand side you have USB 3.1 type-c connector a mini DisplayPort connector to USB 3.0 connectors and AC power in on the left hand side you have an HDMI 2.0 port a USB 3.0 a headphone / microphone port an SD card slot and the Kensington lock yes as you may have noticed there is no Ethernet port but that is actually fairly standard these days and it's optional but I think it's going to come with most of them there's going to be a USB to Ethernet adapter and then as you can very obviously see beside me on the table that I've been crouching next to it comes in orange black and green thanks again to Coursera for sponsoring this episode if you like gaming on the couch check out their lap dog it lets you use something like a full-size keyboard like their k70 or a full-size mouse to game on the couch also thanks to MSI they're showing off their new aigis X desktop and their new GT X 1080 gaming x 8g we'll be checking those out later on in the show so stay tuned for that and stay subscribe to Linus tech tips for all the rest of our Computex coverage
