How has EVERYONE overlooked this?? #Helpful Post

our coverage of CES 2019 is brought to

you by D brand their grip case and prism

screen protectors give you 360 degree

coverage for even Lynas drop proof

protection here we are

Asus hasn't even set up yet in here in

fact this is like they kind of pulled me

aside from the pre briefing thing and

they were like okay yeah that stuff's

really cool but like come on in here we

got this and I was like that's an ROG

Strix Skaar - why are you pulling me in

here for this everything about this is

like basically normal strict star stuff

so you got a bunch of ventilation for

your cooling you got a bunch of heat

pipes and you got a bunch of heat sinks

because you got powerful graphics six

core 8750 H processor you've got like a

bunch of i/o SD card reader and you know

RGB backlit keyboard and is this

individually backlit yeah individually

backlit cool that's good stuff alright

so okay so we got we got RGB you know

asus living up to their reputation

clearly no Thunderbolt but lots of

display we got you know wired networking

and all that cool stuff and they're like

no no no no hold on a second Linus don't

walk away yet cuz I was half I was

halfway I was halfway out of the room

and like look you guys don't even

respect me enough to put away your

packing materials before CRA seuss are

say soos breath is hiding he's hiding

back there cuz he's like oh no I'm gonna

get in all kinds of trouble for this but

he's like no come back come back because

this thing is what I have been asking

for for so long so first of all they've

added some better rigidity so the thing

with Strix for asus is they can't seem

to decide if it's a premium brand or if

it's kind of like their value brand

because they've got rog like the

high-end rog and then Strix was like

kind of this value one but then they're

like no no it's like it's for gaming

it's premium and they're finally taking

that seriously so they've added more

metal to the bottom of the chassis so

this is now a really rigid chassis like

it makes the overall device feel quite a

lot better

still a little flimsy up here room for

improvement there but you know baby

steps right but the big thing the big

thing I've been asking for is watch this

holy crap so for years now I've been

saying the same thing that actually

apples been saying and we don't agree on

everything for sure but you don't need

higher resolution once you get to the

point where you can't distinguish the

individual pixels and so while 4k

displays make a ton of sense if you've

got a 32 inch monitor because at the

distance you'd sit you would easily be

able to make out the pixels on cue HD or

something like that for laptops this

this race to 4k has just been

frustrating for me we're sucking up

extra battery we're making the screens

dimmer because the closer you pack the

pixels actually the harder it is to push

the backlight through them like we're

doing all these counterproductive things

when what we should be focusing on is

refresh rate this to my knowledge is the

first laptop in the world with a 240

Hertz display and not just that but

check this out so it's using a sharp XO

panel that has among the best

anti-ghosting that I have seen certainly

the best I've seen on a laptop look at

this like it's hard to appreciate it 30

frames per second through a YouTube

compression filter but I can read this

text as I'm moving it around on the

screen that would have been unthinkable

on anything but a CRT in the past I mean

maybe a high-end TN panel but that's not

what this this this is this is an egg's

OpenAL it's not like just like bad

viewing angle junk check this out

so this is the closest thing I've ever

seen to a zero compromises mobile gaming

experience because high refresh rate is

a true competitive advantage where

higher resolution is not and speaking of

competitive advantage unfortunately they

had to have like someone directly over

my shoulder the entire time to make sure

that I didn't run any of these

tantalizing benchmarks over

but this is actually going to be

equipped with an RT X 2080 max Q design

or whatever in videos latest you know

nomenclature for that is now a Seuss

can't tell me under pain of death

what kind of performance we could expect

for this compared to a regular RT X 2080

but if I had to go out on a limb I'd say

well the max Q ones last gen were about

10% lower so I wouldn't be surprised if

we saw something along those lines now

there's still room for improvement here

this webcam bad terrible not only is it

on the bottom its off-center clearly

they expect absolutely no one to use it

but other than that the keyboard feels

better than last gen trackpad acceptable

could be bigger but this is looking

pretty freakin sick so my stylus fell

out but it should be noted that that is

the only damage that my phone sustained

so this is the D brand grip it features

super clicky buttons it's really grippy

it's got precise cutouts for all your

various things be they fingerprint

sensors cameras or whatever the case may

be and of course fantastic impact

resistance as you might expect for D

brand every grip case has a customizable

spot on the back so you can put any D

brand skin you'd like on the back and

then as for the front their prism screen

protector is kind of unbelievable so it

feels very glassy on the front but it's

not glass like there's this demo they

had me do that made me feel very

uncomfortable hammering nails in with a

phone that had a prism installed on the

front and somehow the screen survived I

thought like I love D brand

they're our bros but I thought they must

have kind of fudged it a little bit when

they did the demo but they didn't and

it's you should just go check it out at
