what's up guys welcome back to my coverage of CES 2017 I am here at the Asus suite at Trump Tower but first a big thanks to my sponsors for CES 2017 gigabytes ocz a Toshiba company as well as deep pool a big thanks to them and their links are down in the video's description now there's tons of stuff at the Asus booth as always so let's get right into it let's start with some peripherals three mice this is our OG Strix and this is our o districts and this is just our og this is the Gladius - it is a unique design and that it has swappable arm around switches that upgraded a lot of stuff they have actually have new switches with 12,000 dpi sensitivity and the ability to switch switch them out giving you up to 50 million clicks per switch and of course it has our RGB lighting and it will work with the Asus aura software there's an RG Strix of all over here which is ambidextrous as you can hopefully see and you can actually remove each of these clique panels the left one on the right one and it comes with options for left-handed or right-handed people because the travel distance on your left and right click or difference and they want to make sure that they have accommodated either one next we have the RG strict impacts impact this one is light and fast and stealthy and it's gonna be a little bit less as a purse than the RG Gladius two very nice little mice so speaking of aces or a sink that's the software for RGB lighting control that they've been working on developing I'd say over the past year year and a half since the RGB thing kind of took off so this system they have set up here is a really good example of how it works coordination of many different parts internally as well as a bonus features so right there you have g.skill tread NZ memory with RGB lighting control coordinating with the motherboard to make everything look it's an RGB lightning storm as far as I can tell is the effect that they're going for right now you also have of course RGB LEDs on the motherboard itself you have RGB LEDs on the back plates of both of the asus rog graphics cards there which I believe are Strix 1080 gaming X twos and then also you have RGB strips on the case two sides over here and then they took and went outside the back of the case with this little cable and they connected it up to this wall this wall of our genus going on there so you coordination and not not only all the RGB lights inside the system but you can also go out and like decorate your desk or the wall or something like that and then of course if you get the right peripherals from Asus like monitor keyboard mouse it also have asus rog or a support or lighting or lighting support then you can Ford Nate everything with the RO genius I really want to quickly point out the this Magnus right here because it's a new product that ASIS hasn't really taken on before it's a microphone so features here are a studious to do great condenser capsules you actually get three of them whereas you would typically only get one with the mic of this quality price point they're looking at is going to be around 150 H dollars 125 to 150 and it's got USB connectivity it's got individual controls here so you can manually type things up or down if needed on the fly and again support for the asus rog or lighting coordinate to everything with rog lights i continue with some ROG stuff here's a motherboard that JJ did not have available when we did our video on the z 270 launch which you guys should check out by the way this is the Maximus 9 extreme so I have three motherboards here I want to show you really quick Maximus 9 extreme has all of the extreme type level features that you would expect from their previous extreme level boards so lots of Io stuff there and monitoring control and all that good stuff USB 3.1 header that's really cool but you're probably noticing this waterblock it's actually a mono block right here at the top asus designed it bit power actually made its power actually manufactures it it includes really cool features that I haven't seen in a monoblock such as these little rings right here which detect if there's a leak and you can set up a warning or tell it to shut down the system or a delayed shutdown you have options in the software this little cover right here is for MDOT too so you can put an MDOT to drive in there if you get one that gets too hot drastically reduces the temperature of like a really fast m2 nvme SSD and then you have crazy support for fans you actually have 12 fan headers like four up there and then another like eight down here and they're all grouped very specifically so you can connect up lots of radiators and have them all in a group and that kind of thing there's other features here as well but I'm running out of time so let's move over here to this long line of motherboards which lots of them I actually already talked about but I didn't talk about this one this is the apex and this is kind of the offshoot of the extreme the extreme was previously you know the top-end best of the best and that still is the case the apex is split off to be a bit more geared towards really high-end and enthusiast overclocking now that's not so you couldn't get the apex and use it for other tools or features or you know just build a nice system out of it but you'll know for example to DIMM slots instead of four all of this is to reduce signal noise that might potentially reduce your chances to get getting really high-end overclocks they have this crazy thing right here which is actually an MDOT two riser riser adapter card that they fit into a dim slot which is kind of crazy but gives you some MDOT to support without having it to have potential noise or signal interference with the rest of the board and they've gone with other features like IC chips in there that are much better for high-end overclocking so if you're gonna see like World Records for KB Lake being broken by asus or overclocking team it's probably gonna be done on this board of course on the right side you have a you know voltage repoint s-- and all that type of stuff you can individually turn off certain features of the board and also if you haven't noticed this board has a kind of a cool design to it is ATX but it has sort of an X design so you might notice the PCB kind of pops out there a little bit on the corners which is also kind of unique and then of course again a full RGB support a little panel down here that you can kind of customize you could replace that and put your own logo on it or something like that if you wanted to alright so what we have here is an ITX board at a micro ATX board the ITX board is fairly new the mini micro ATX board is actually already available so check those out these should all be available if they're not out now they should be available by the end of the month with possible exception of that extreme board now the ITX here I just I just think they did a great job on they have answered the call that many of us have had to give us an ITX board that also has color neutrality for the most part they've also included an m2 which actually is installed via this little guy right here which is cool because it gives you the ability to have some additional cooling on it m2 will slot right in their active heatsink for it so keep your m2 nvme drive nice and cool and it fits on the front of the board right there you'll notice there are some silver accents but other than that no real colors there is integrated Wi-Fi and then there are some LEDs on the board but you can disable those and if you do want to have again that RGB support although there are not no active RGB lights on this board there is an RGB LED header over there so you could integrate that with your case and then of course coordinated it with the lights in your case or other Asus RGB products if you wanted to and then we have the Strix Zi 270g gaming micro ATX board I don't have a lot of information about this board but I just wanted to show you guys that it exists maintaining a lot of the design and other features that we've seen with a lot of these boards RGB support all that good stuff and it looks cool and I like micro ATX here's a cool little product it's called the ROG rapture it's actually a router a quad core router features gain boost and gaming port technology this again coming out in q2 they're not quite finished designing it it's gonna have support for really high speed storage it's either going to be integrated or available via connectivity via USB but it's going to give you just altra fast storage so you could potentially like use this as an Astra plate replacement or something like that but tri-band AC Wi-Fi 8 Gigabit LAN ports for Wired devices in to ultra-fast USB 3.0 ports and it looks like an upside-down spider monitors these are exciting actually the one in the middle is really cool it's a new industrial design and this is part of the Asus well it's not a pro arch actual series monitor it is the MX 3 8 v q it is 37.5 inches diagonal from there all the way down to there it is a the resolution is crazy it's 38 40 by 1600 which is not 21 not 21 by 9 it's actually a bit taller than 21 by 9 the 4k version of 2009 would be 38 40 by 1440 this is again 38 40 wide 1600 tall so you get a bit of extra vertical space it's just a beautiful looking monitor the panel is sourced from LG also includes 8 watt stereo speakers sonic Master technology so you can actually route your audio like say you have a laptop that doesn't have very good audio quality we can right through the monitor and then plug your headphones in there and you'll get a much better audio experience that's really cool again coming in q2 over here we have a 4k HDR display which just looks beautiful and asus is still in search of incredible this is a 32 inch 4k HDR quantum dot monitors so the color space reproductivity on this monitor is absolutely insane you get 85% of REC 2020 support which is like the widest color spectrum standard that's kind of been standardized but usually it's only is in really high-end stuff 99.5% of Adobe though 95% of dcpip 300 percent srgb just a beautiful looking monitor pretty cool looking stand down there as well and it's 4k pre calibrated with pro art calibration that includes hardware calibration tools in there as well again coming in q2 and finally I can't leave without talking about this new monitor can you tell which one is the better one these demos are supposed to be synced but I turn them on at the wrong time but you can kind of get an impression back and forth obviously you're not watching this on an HDR monitor but the one on the right is HDR the new one RG swift PG to 7uq the one on the left is last year's model also a very nice monitor of course but this one on the right is better we have 4k supports it is an r g series monitors so you have cool little extras like you know that fires the RG asus the RG logo down at the ground underneath the monitors display 144 hertz rapid refresh rate and video desync support of course 4k HDR 3840 by 2160 and it's an IPS panel so you should have better color depth theoretically than you know a trashy old TN panel or something like that DisplayPort 1.4 and an HDMI 2.0 compatible and I think this is a very very nice monitor I don't know how much it's going to cost though and I said I was gonna finish with that monitor the JJ insisted that I should talk to you guys about this laptop - let's start with the bad part right off the gate it's a six thousand dollar laptop no apologies it cost six thousand dollars it must be worth it what they've done here if you didn't couldn't already tell is of course integrated their liquid cooling it's hot swappable of not hot so you can hot swap all right it's hot swappable liquid cooling with that unit in the back so you can run an air cool with just what's here or you know keep that unit at home and when you're ready to game plug it in there 18 inch display IPS with g-sync dual GTX 1080s in there full sized ones it also has what's the CPU okay I'm not so it's like a 7700 K it's kind of like a 7700 K it's some mysterious version of the 7700 K that JJ seemed is very very mysterious about mechanical RGB backlit keyboard obviously it's a fairly substantial laptop being that it's more of a desktop replacement made for gaming and I imagine you can do lots of content creation and that kind of thing on this as well and of course full asus rog or RGB support rog or RGB i've been repeating that statement over and over again so guys if you want if you don't like desktop computers but you want one that you wanted in a laptop and you have $6,000 the ROG GX 800 is absolutely insane so there you have it guys my breathless coverage of the Asus suite and I swear I've only talked about like a third of the things they have they have a complete other room that they wanted to show us but we ran out of time so let me know what you think of this video hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it a big thank you of course to my sponsors Kyle as well as gigabytes ocz Toshiba and deep cool thanks you guys more coverage of CES 2017 coming very soon we'll see you next time
