thank you to Logitech and discord for bringing us to PAX East 2016 this year if you want to see all of their stuff click their link in the video description down below so we are the Intel booth checking of these skull Canyon the last time they released something with the name of skull in it it was the skull trail and that was freaking badass and so is this we've talked about on the LAN show before but now I finally get to see it in real life let's check it out the main awesome thing about the skull canyon is its size and what it's able to do within the restrictions of its size this thing is 0.74 litres of total volume which is less than two pop cans for more exact dimensions its 211 by 116 by 28 millimeters not inches or centimeters millimeters this thing is tiny in terms of the internal hardware which is I know what you all want to hear about it as an i7 6770 HQ processor running at 2.6 gigahertz at the like TDP all-day rating which is where it's able to comfortably sit all the time or when it boots up it can go up to 3.4 gigahertz for expandability it has two so-dimm slots and go up to 32 gigabytes and currently supports 21 33 megahertz for a total speed for drive expandability you have 2 m2 slots which are able to fully support the full speed of a 950 pro so you don't really have to worry about storage speeds either in terms of i/o on the front you have an SD card slot a power button two USB 3.0 ports one of which is a charging port so while it's off it can still charge one of your devices a headphone jack and an IR receiver on the back you have power in a headphone / optical microphone Jack an rj45 Ethernet gigabit port two USB 3.0 ports a display port a USB 3.1 type-c connector an HDMI 2.0 for full 4k 60 Hertz on the right-hand side you have a metal reinforced Kensington lock which is awesome because if it was just plain plastics I want to just be able to rip it off the Kensington lock which kind of defeats the purpose on the bottom for when you're taking apart there's captive screws so you unscrew them and they actually stay connected to the plate which is great because losing little tiny screws it's / frustrating and you have replaceable face plates on the top so you can have the awesome face plate with the skull on it which I highly recommend you use or if you need even more like a business application where you don't want to have skulls on things you do have the mat plate which does still feature the hexagon pattern on the left hand side which is super awesome and if you take that plate off of the top you have more expanded i/o for if you want to put this thing in your own custom chassis or you just don't need the top cover for whatever reason that IO is a USB 3.0 header which is not the standard one you'd find in a desktop so you might have to go looking for a custom part for that a common i/o header which supports USB 2.0 light switches all that kind of stuff and possibly an NFC header but that's not necessarily finalized at this point for wireless you have Intel wireless AC which is probably what you expected and for power you have 120 watt power from the wall which is running at 19 volts and 6.3 amps it actually usually only pulls like 60 to 65 watts but that extra expanded wattage is there for things that might need to be powered over Thunderbolt su-hyun Thunderbolt you can do some pretty awesome stuff so that's nice and small but if you want to expand it with a dedicated graphics card you can get something like the Razer core run that thunderbolt connection to it and run what they're currently running which is an r9 nan-oh you can fit full-sized graphics cards in here but they're running a nano nanos are great I love nanos that's completely fine and you can do stuff like run Just Cause 3 completely fine it's not even that easy of a game to run and they're running it no problemo so that sounds pretty sick but when can you get your hands on one well they have pre-orders right now on new egg but they won't be shipping until sometime in May not entirely sure when during that month but it's May that's probably fine it's about 650 US dollars suggested retail price not entirely sure exactly how much it's going to cost and that is the bare bones system so without any memory and without any storage space so if you are interested check out newegg.com they have them for pre-order right now to search up skull Canyon like you do logitech and discord for sending us to PAX East 2016 this year did you go to all of logitech's hardware like mice keyboards headphones race wheels whatever they're all the video description down below and discord is awesome they have free voice and chat servers you can set one up you can join someone else's do whatever you want check them out in video description down below as well see all the rest of our terribly voiced back C's 2016 content subscribe I'm gonna try to get some cough drops I'll see you guys next time
