"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is weird it's 2023 I've got a new laptop with a 3D screen and there's a new Avatar movie out it's like 2009 all over again except this time I don't need a pair of pesky glasses to actually watch this because this is the world's first Glasses free 3D OLED display you're gonna have to take my world trip but this T-Rex's head is sticking out to about here which is very cool although it does raise a few questions about why and what else can I do and how much so I'm here at Asus booth at CES 2023 and there's a lot of new tech including new laptops uh we've got the new 3D Studio book of course and actually I should say that that 3D screen will also be an option on the new VivoBook Pro 16. a suit also very kindly came over to my house with a few of the laptops for me to have a play with a head of CES although these pre-release samples were using older Hardware basically they're just for preview purposes but I still want to give you a walkthrough because as well as the fancy schmancy 3D screens on the studio book and the Viva book we are also getting next-gen Hardware in the form of 13th gen Intel CPUs and RTX 40 series gpus upgraded displays a new Dynamic mux switch which lets you switch between hybrid and dedicated GPU modes on the fly without having to restart and there's also a few nice extras like their stronger anti-microbial guard plus coating that can even stop covid so let's start with this guy the new Pro Arts Studio book 16 3D OLED and it's their Flagship Creator slash workstation laptop and for a few hundred dollars extra it can come with this Auto stereoscopic spatial 3D display and it really does work it uses a lenticular lens film on top of the panel which splits the image into two one for each eye with the two IR webcams at the top keeping track of each eye now to answer a couple of questions I had yes you can see the 3D on two of them at once if you want to buy two for some reason which is pretty cool also it can only track one pair of eyes at a time so if you are showing yourself to someone you kind of want to make sure that they are in the sort of Center so it doesn't pick up another pair of eyes and sort of 3D off so that is one limitation it is limited to one person you can't watch a 3D movie or a show off a 3D render with more than one person at the moment sometimes it can take a second or two for the cameras to lock on and track your eyes and then in that meantime you're sort of seeing the blurry 2D image or if it sort of switches to 3D and then back to 2D and it can be a bit jarring and disorientating but 90 of the time it works really well and genuinely gave me a sort of jaw-dropping wow moment but anyone really who uses or creates 3D assets VR or even metaverse developers and I can just imagine being able to show my latest creation to a client on your laptop no glasses and manipulator in 3D it would blow them away you can of course also watch 3D videos and movies like Avatar 2 on this if you want YouTube supports 3D side by side although there isn't a ton of content and nothing has been uploaded for a while really and you do have Nvidia 3D Vision for games but all that feels a bit secondary and a bit of an afterthought and you can't just simply upscale or adapt any content to work in 3D but that is just the screen there's a whole lot more to this Pro Art Studio book and this can be specked with up to an RTX 4070 and a 13th gen I9 plus 64 gigs of RAM and a 1 popping 8 terabytes of storage they've also moved the hinge a little bit further forward this year so there's actually more room for cooling inside and actually reduce the weight and size overall plus the hinge is now 180 degree so it can lay pretty much flat I'd say it's like 170 degrees but close this touchpad is now 28 bigger and it's absorbed the physical separate touchpad buttons that were previously underneath although my one criticism is that there isn't a 4K screen option which isn't the end of the world but on a 16 inch laptop screen like this that's meant for creators it would have been a nice option and also it tops out with a 4070 not a 4080 or 90. so alternatively and actually if you want something even more powerful definitely consider this guy the Zenbook Pro 16x OLED and I managed to get Hands-On with this a couple of weeks ago so back to Tom in the studio there is definitely some crossover between the two we still have the Asus dial although it's paired down a little bit and also a big 16 inch screen but one thing this does uniquely offer is this Ergo lift hinge so if I close it if I sort of get central close it down and then open it up you can see this keyboard actually lifts up and there's a lot of light underneath as well because we have this full RGB keyboard so that actually helps improve airflow keeps throttling to a minimum and arguably improves the comfort of your typing experience although maybe not for everyone what is really interesting though aside from the very snazzy RGB logo on the back here is that uniquely with this model Asus have worked with Intel to create a custom chip a bespoke CPU which actually incorporates the lp ddr5x Ram directly onto the chip they've had to tape over the CPU label here as I was showing this before Intel's embargo but this means they can achieve much higher Ram speeds plus the pro 16 x OLED now gets liquid metal on the CPU to keep things cooler for longer again though you can see this is a pre-production model so I can't wait to review this properly and see just what it can do with all that new hardware and just how fast that Ram can actually get built into the chip now if you do like the idea of this but perhaps want something a little bit smaller maybe a little bit more portable and Compact and also a touch more affordable then consider this the smaller Asus Zenbook Pro 14 OLED we still get the latest Intel CPUs and Nvidia gpus will be at these slightly lower powered components but given the 1.65 kilogram weight the fact that they've squeezed in a bigger 14.5 inch screen this year up from 14 inches but still a 2.8 K resolution 16 by 10 aspect ratio pretty much all these Asus laptops are 16x10 now which is great and also OLED 120 hertz a touchscreen with style support we do still also have the dial but this is the screen pad dial as it's built built into the touchpad with similar functionality but sort of minimized into the touchpad and of course still the pro creator of Hub 2 an upgraded full HD webcam this is shaping up to be a really great all-rounder and travel companion but wait that's not all I have one more ZEM book I want to show you and it is a bit of a looker oh look at that this is the Zenbook 14x OLED now this 14x is a little bit more affordable a little bit more mainstream than the Zenbook Pro Series but still very capable we get a similar size 14.5 inch screen not a touch screen this time though but it is still 16x10 still 2.8 K still 120 hertz and still OLED so very very nice but this has actually had one of the most significant upgrades I think we've gone from 90 to 120 hertz versus last year we also now have the latest generation Intel processors and for the first time on the 14x we have a dedicated GPU option sadly not the next gen cards from Nvidia but we do have up to the RTX 3050 in this which is going to be a big upgrade grade in graphical horsepower versus the previous integrated Graphics not bad at all for this 15.9 millimeter thick 1.5 kilo laptop they've also significantly improved the webcam now full HD with an IR sensor and on the outside we have this brand new finish and color it's a peo or plasma serumization coating giving it a matte kind of Stony texture to the aluminum chassis it's also smudge and fingerprint resistant and I really do like this Sandstone beige color it's sort of like a more modern take on rose gold and also I've just realized this also has a 180 degree hinge so you can lay it flat and a lot of people say why is that helpful why would you want to do that well basically just so when I'm laying on the sofa and I have my laptop on my legs I can sort of push it further back or if you've gone on a laptop stand that extra flexibility does come in handy so that is the new Zenbook 14x but there's one more laptop I want to show you and the battery's on two percent okay let's do this quickly this is the new Viva Book Pro X 16 in OLED I'm really excited about this for a couple of reasons firstly it also has that 3D screen option the spatial 3D screen like we get on the pro Art Studio book but while it is still going to be an optional extra this is going to be the cheapest way of getting that technology also vivobooks are meant for more mainstream creators with a little bit less emphasis on unique form factors or the thinnest and lightest designs but still packing in some impressive specs and particularly with this top of the line Pro x16 with this 2023 model not only adding the latest next-gen Hardware but also the more powerful HX series processors previously used just the H series so that will draw more power and give us more performance we also get the new adaptive mux switch so as I say you can go between the dedicated graphics and the hybrid option which saves power now without having to restart a laptop we also get a slightly higher tgp for the graphics and you can even eat your dinner off this now why because this Viva book as well as a handful of other new models come with the new anti-microbial guard plus coating this Builds on last year's Tech which also came to the Viva books but now actually helps to prevent the growth of viruses as well as bacteria including covid-19 they tell me and apparently that has been proved by a few different labs and some medical reports that they've done and essentially that means that this has to prevent the growth of over 99 of those bacteria viruses over a 24-hour period and it's on the touch pad the Palm rest the keyboard and the lid and considering how gross and grubby our fingers get and particularly if you're going to share this with different people having this new guard plus coating is actually a really nice upgrade the VivoBook comes with two screen options either a 3.2 K OLED 120 hertz or a 2.5 k IPS 165 Hertz I will update the description and a pinned comment with more pricing and details as it comes out and if you did enjoy the video like And subscribe will be lovely and I'll see you next time right here on the tech chatthis is weird it's 2023 I've got a new laptop with a 3D screen and there's a new Avatar movie out it's like 2009 all over again except this time I don't need a pair of pesky glasses to actually watch this because this is the world's first Glasses
