**Introducing the 11th Gen Processor: A Game-Changer in Gaming**

The ASUS ZenBook Flip S, powered by the brand new Intel Core i7 Processors, is a beast of a laptop that's perfect for gaming enthusiasts. One of its biggest advantages is the new XE graphics, which are not only twice as powerful as the last generation of Intel laptops but also very competitive with dedicated GPUs like the Nvidia MX series.

**Unlocking Full Gaming Potential**

To really push this to the limit, we have Thunderbolt, co-engineered by Intel and now featuring the latest Thunderbolt 4 spec. This enables us to connect an external graphics card all the way up to an RTX 3080. Yes, you read that right - an entire RTX 3080!

**Liquid Cooling: The Key to Unlocking Full Power**

Inside this gaming box, we have our liquid-cooled RTX 3080, which is a ridiculously powerful card that doesn't take up your entire desk. And with all this power being handled through a single Thunderbolt port, you can connect multiple monitors, USB, and ethernet devices.

**Connecting the Dots: HDMI Cables Matter**

Now, when it comes to connecting our gaming box to the TV, we need an HDMI 2.1 cable certified for 8K. Yes, most cables won't work - they must be specifically designed for 8K. Let's hope this one is certified!

**The Moment of Truth: Testing 8K Gaming**

We connected the cables, and... it worked! The second display shows up as 4K, but we were able to go higher. We're talking HDMI 4, 8K, engage! And the result? A crisp and clear image at 7680 by 4320.

**The Real Crazy Part: 16 Videos Running at Once**

We took it back to a hundred percent scale, and... oh my God, dude, that looks so sharp. The Windows logo is literally this small - I'm like three inches away from this and I can barely see pixels. 8K is so sharp!

**Blizzard-Sized Windows: The Limits of Our Laptop**

Now we have sixteen windows open, and it's not just the number of windows that matters but also how many Edge windows we can have on here. And if we try to play 16 This Is videos at once? Yes, let's see...

**The Test: Can Our Laptop Handle 15 Videos at Once?**

We have our laptop running an 8K display with 15 videos playing at the same time. We're downloading and patching a version of Cold War while running at 40% CPU.

**The Final Test: Playing a Game at 8K**

Let's see what happens when we try to play a game at 8K. We'll give it a second to get everything set up... and... oh wow! That looks sharp. We'll wait for it to compile the shaders before trying to play.

**The Limit: Our Laptop, Not the GPU**

We're going to hit the limits not of our laptop but of the GPU - the RTX 3080 only has so much capacity.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- This is a 75 inch 8K TVand today we're gonna begaming on it using this.So thanks to Intel forsponsoring this videoand providing us with thebrand new ASUS ZenBook Flip S,powered by the 11th Genof Core i7 Processors.One of the biggest advantageswith the 11th Gen Processorsare the new XE graphics,which are not only twice as powerfulas the last generation of Intel laptopsbut importantly, theyare now very competitivewith a lot of dedicated GPUslike the Nvidia MX series.To really push this to thelimit, we have Thunderbolt,which of course wasco-engineered originally by Inteland this is the latest Thunderbolt 4 specwhich will enable us to connectan external graphics cardall the way up to an RTX 3080to see exactly how much wecan push this thin and light laptopto become an absolute gaming monster.So if you've watchedthe channel for a whileyou know that we've done somecrazy Thunderbolt setups.At one point,we had an entire triple screengaming monitor hooked upto a thin and light laptopusing a Thunderbolt GPU.Well, thankfully thingshave come a very long waysince we did that videoto the point where youcan fit a full RTX 3080inside an enclosure thatis, admittedly kind of large,but who cares, right?Look, those Intel Xe graphics are no joke.I mean, especially for like gamingon the actual laptop screen,they're more than good enoughas you'll see later in the video.When it comes to doing somethinga little bit more ultimate,shall we say, havingthe full RTX card insideis gonna make a big difference.So I will say you're notreally supposed to open this upbut I'm sure it'll be fine.Now, the way that they'reactually able to geta full RTX 3080 in thisis by liquid cooling it.So not only do you have aridiculously powerful cardbut you also have aridiculously powerful cardthat doesn't totallytake up your entire desk.So inside here, you'll see our RTX 3080.You have our two 120or 140 millimeter fans.There's a radiator in here.There's a lot of stuffpacked into this gaming box.But the important thing is on the back.All of this power is being handledthrough this single Thunderbolt port.Now you get some extra stuff.Obviously you can connecta bunch of monitors, USB,ethernet, all that kind of stuff,but it's all being connected to the laptopwith this single cablewhich means that if this workswe're gonna have 8K gaming.Will it work?Still not sure about that.Stay tuned.I need to come up with anew idea for this video,if it doesn't work, so.This set up is actually pretty simple.So we have our RTX 3080 gaming boxwhich we need one cable to connect itfrom the laptop to the gaming box.And then we need an HDMI 2.1 cableto go from our gaming box to the TV.So the only thing thatyou need to keep in mindwith stuff like 8K is that the HDMI cablesthat you use actually are very important.Most cables will not work.You need to make surethat it is certified.And I really hope that this one is.I'm pretty sure it is though.HDMI 4.Hello.Hey, wow, that's bright.Oh my God.- Oh, that's HDR, okay.- Ooh, it's so bright.My eyes are bleeding.- That is really bright.- That is so bright.Ooh, okay.Now that we have fixedour screen brightnesslet's take a look and seewhat the system is seeing.So second display shows up as 4K.Can we go higher?We cannot go higher.Okay. Here we go.HDMI 4, 8K, engage.Here we go.Come on.You know you wanna do it?Oh, okay.Well something's working.Okay. So you have the seconddisplay and it shows up at,oh, 7680 by 4320.Here we go.Oh my God, dude, that looks so...Look how sharp the Windowslogo is, literally this small.I am like three inches awayfrom this and I can barely see pixels.8K is so sharp, like from here.Like I can see thedifference between this iconwhich is clearly made for 8Kand the Edge icon which isn't.Here's the really crazy part.We're at 300% scale right now.Let's set it to a hundred percent.Watch this.(Austin laughs)Wait, hang on.- So there's the phone, right?Let's take it back.(Austin laughs)That's kinda crazy.- Yo. Okay.- Oh my God, Blizzardis so small on there.- Oh no.Ken, we've got a 12 gigabyte download.- It always has stuff to download.This game never stopsdownloading anything.How many Edge windows can you?- Edge well like individualwindow...(indistinct)- Let's just see, likein terms of usable windowslike how many can youactually have on here?- We have sixteen windows open.If I was a little bit betterI could probably add a couple more.Oh, wait, no, wait, hang on.Sorry. Excuse me.Now we have 16.What if we try to play 16This Is videos at once?- Yes.- All right. Where did it go.This is also just a test.Not only of 8K but of can this laptopand the 11th Gen processorhandle this many things runningat the same time.Like honestly, I don't thinkit will be able to play 16or 15 videos all once.That sounds like it's too much.- You say that but it's actually.- Oh wait. No it's Oh,they're already running, look.- Yeah I know,that's what I was saying,they're all autoplaying.- Wow. Look at that.We have 15 videos allplaying at the same time.Dude that is seriously impressive.Right now we're running an 8K displaywhere we have 15 videos running.We're downloading andpatching a version of Cold Warand we're running at 40% CPU.All right.Here goes nothing.Let's see what happens whenwe try to play a game at 8K.Oh wow.Okay. That looks sharp.We'll give it a secondto get everything set up.We wanna give it a fair shot.We wanna make it compile theshaders before we try to play.We're at, wait what!We're at 120 Hertz.What? It defaulted to 1080p 120.- Oh, to be fair,that was the resolutionthat I had set before.- Oh, okay. All right. Boom 8K.All right. And now lets apply.You have used maximum capacity.Oh, Oh wait, hold on a second.We're gonna hit the limitsnot of our laptop, but of the GPU.So the RTX 3080 only has,"only" has 10 gigs of Ram.So you can see right here.We're actually maxingout the VRAM at 14 gigs.All right.So let's turn settings downuntil we get it to be better.Are we really gonna have a problem?Wait, let's turn off Ray tracing.So disabling Ray tracinggot us a lot closer.That's fine.So ultra performance,I'll recommended it for 8Kgameplay only. Perfect. Okay.Subsurface scattering off.Oh. Oh, there we go.Wow. Look at the difference there.So let's do low on that.- We are still reallyup there on that meter, but...- All right, it still thinks we're over.But I think with 8K on low settingswe'll actually hopefully have enough.All right, here goes nothing.And we are,Oh, look at that.Oh, this dude 67 FPS.Are you serious right now?Look at that.This is 100% playable,look at how sharp that is.I remind youif I was actually reallyproperly playing the gameI probably wouldn't beplaying at lower settings.Like I'd probably rather play itlike 4K or somethingrealistically, but who cares?We're playing at 8K.I really should reload my gun.That is so sharp.Like I'm gonna play right here.I can see every little bitof detail in this game.Oh, I can't actually sitthat close to the TV.Dude, you know what, withhow smooth this is runningwe can actually probably turnthe settings up even farther.- Just to be fair, withwhere this is at right now,I'd take a locked 60.- You know, this is, Imean it's not quite lockedwhen we're bouncing around a little bit.- I mean, it's notlocked in the sense of likeit's stuck at 60, but wehaven't dipped below 60.- Yeah. So here's the thing, right?This laptop is not a gaming laptop.I mean, you can see,just look up tiny and thin it is, right?This is not meant as a gaming PC.However, the fact is with asingle cable and an external GPUwe can go out to get 8K performance.Mind you it might get lowyeah you might wanna play that at 4Kif you're gonna be realistic,but that is incredible.But this is just the startof what you can get with oneof these Intel Evo laptopsand specifically withthese ZenBook Flip S.So, first of all, of coursethis is one of the IntelEvo certified laptops.Now if you're familiarwith Intel's project Athenafrom last yearthis is essentially acertification programwhich essentially meansthat the laptop needs tobe very high-performingin pretty much all aspects.Needs to have good battery life,needs to have things likeWifi 6, like Thunderbolt 4and you also need to have ahigh level of performance.So things like having afull level of performancewhen you're unplugged andaway from the wall, right?So as someone who doesa lot of benchmarkingoftentimes you'll see that youhave really good performancewhen you're plugged inbut as soon as you go on battery lifeit goes into a very, very restrictive modewell sure it'll get you alittle bit more battery lifebut means that the laptop runs super slow.Thankfully, that is not the case here.Now speaking a littlebit more specificallyabout the hardware, it is very nice.So this is one of thethinnest laptops out thereand yet it actually hasa good selection of portsgenerally speaking.So not only do we have apair of Thunderbolt 4 portswhich you can use to of course connectto your 8K GPU or of course just charge.We will also have a full-sizeHDMI and a full-size USB-Awhich is impressive to fitin such a small and thinform factor.The only downside isthey did have to sacrificethe headphone Jack,which may or may not be important to you.They do thankfully include one in the boxbut I would have liked tohave sort of had my cakeand ate it too.Now the rest of hardware is very nice.So this has using a full4K OLED touch display.Now ,yeah, sure you can do thewhole like tilty flippy guybut the most important thinghere is an incredibly sharpand incredibly vibrant panel.Now, personally would Ihave liked to have seenis slightly taller aspect ratio, yesbut ultimately this isone of the nicest displaysyou can get on a laptop like this.And the same thing goes forthe rest of the hardware,great keyboard, good trackpad.And because this thingis so thin and lightyou actually do still getpretty decent battery life.The only real sacrifice they've made hereis by making it so thin,because of that, the cooling solution,it's a little bit more limitingthan some of the other 11thgen laptops I've tried.Still enough to give youa ton of performance,obviously, as you saw fromthe demo with the 8K gaming.However when it comes to playing morehardcore games specificallyon the actual laptop itself,there is a touch of throttlingthat you might not see ifyou get a thicker laptopbut as always, you haveto make trade-offs.And the big one here is thatwhen you go up to these11th Gen processorsthe graphics are that big step forward.Now of course this is not a gaming laptopbut with those Intel Xe graphicsinside the 11th Gen processorsit does give you a lot more performanceand importantly, youalso do have flexibilityof expanding with thingslike Thunderbolt 4which can enable you to dothings like actual 8K gamingor all kinds of other stuff.I mean, I use Thunderboltwith my devices every day.So if you're interested in learning moreabout the Zenbook orthe Intel Evo programdefinitely be sure to check outthe links in the descriptionand until the next time I tryto do something dumb with 8K,thank you very much for watching.
