 We're here in the Asus suite having a look at what might be one of the coolest things that we are going to see here at the show this year. Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology and our trusted networking partner is Linksys. This is yet another notebook from Asus. No, I'm just kidding. This is the TX300 transformer book. So this is a notebook. It is a tablet. So much like their Tai Chi, you can use it in either form. But unlike the Tai Chi, you can now completely detach it from the base. So the joke I was making when we first walked in here because Diesel has a very large Android phone was this is probably the next evolution for you. Just kind of like, yeah, no, hold on. I'm in an elevator. Sorry, I can't. You're breaking up. You know, standing there like that. Everyone sees this happening. But seriously, guys, it comes with a Core i5 or a Core i7. This particular unit as a whole meets the Ultrabook specification from Intel, which means that it's extremely thin, extremely light, has those security features, includes high speed connectivity. In this case, in all likelihood, USB 3 on the base station. But we're going to find that after. Runs for four to five hours on battery, which is competitive with something like a Surface Pro from Microsoft, except for the immensely larger screen. It's an IPS panel that runs at full HD, 1920 by 1080. It has up to 128 gig M-SATA SSD and pretty much everything is in here. Now that transformer branding, you guys have seen it before. You know what it comes with. You've got a couple things that you can take for granted. Number one is there's probably a detachable keyboard of some sort. In this case, the detachable keyboard has a keyboard. It's got extra battery life in it. It's got a touchpad. It's also a Windows 8 machine. So the experience using this is going to be way better than on an Android device. Then you got a bunch of other stuff. There's a magnetic power, SD expansion, some indicator LEDs. OK, OK, OK. Nothing that exceptional yet. Here we go. Two super speed USB 3 ports, display port and full sized Ethernet jack. So you can use it as a wired sort of dock station once you attach it to the base. The bottom is just a gorgeous brushed metal finish. You got that, Diesel? That looks good. Looks good. And the hinge, as always on transformer products, feels very, very rigid and very solid. Without the screen attached, you can hardly move the thing. It's very solid. Chicklet style keyboard. Again, something we've come to expect. So the rest of the layout is actually a lot like you'd expect from a typical tablet. You've got your volume. You've got your battery indicator. You've got your HDMI out. So it's micro HDMI out. So you can do HDMI here or display port on the base. You've got headphones out, micro SD, which gives you two SD expansion options, full size SD and micro SD. You've got a hot. This is a new dock connector. Well, why did they do that? Linus, I'm gonna tell you why. In just a moment, as soon as I make sure that there's nothing else here that I can show you. There's your power button up there. Very, very slim. I'm actually going to do this. I'm in the ASUS suite and I'm pulling out my iPhone for the thickness comparison. There you go. I'm just trying to prove a point that the ASUS product is incredibly slim. You got that? Awesome. Check this out. Not only do you get expanded everything else, you get expanded storage by plugging it in to the base station. So it comes with, I think it's a 500 gig hard drive. So it's got a one. I think I got that repositioned kind of funny. So I'm going to have to go. There we go. It comes with a breaking everything. No one's looking right. OK, good. Comes with an SSD in here and a 500 gig hard drive in there, which means it really has all the functionality of a full notebook and all the functionality of a very large tablet or smartphone running full Windows 8. No RT nonsense because it's running a Core i5 or Core i7 processor. So thank you for checking out this video on the TX300. We're here at CES 2013. Don't forget to subscribe to make sure that you see all of our coverage of this awesome event, although I don't know how much more awesome it's going to get than this.
