it's cooking hot outside but it's even hotter inside because we got the latest gaming laptops
0:35
from rog and it's not just one laptop today it's actually not just two laptops today i think
0:41
there's some cool crazy merch inside this box as well what do they call this ultimate fan gift
0:46
collection yes we have two gaming laptops latest and greatest i'm talking rtx type stuff i'm talking
0:53
RTX 30, 70, and 80 represented in a 16-inch gaming laptop and a 17-inch gaming laptop
1:01
These are the hottest things in the world right now. They're even hotter than it is outside in the Toronto region at the moment
1:08
Because they'll play all your games. I'm talking all your games. This is the Zephyrus S17
1:13
Go big, stay slim. That's what they say in the documentation. Holy cow
1:21
Look at this. Look at this. They're giving me an experience. Logo
1:27
Glossy. Pull tab. They thought about the channel. Unbox Therapy. Okay. All right
1:37
Wow. I like that. What do I do next? My goodness gracious
1:43
My goodness gracious. You go up to the left. You go up to the back
1:49
Triggering this mechanism which lifts the laptop. which is also a precursor to the mechanism living inside the hinge of the laptop
1:56
So you're getting a little foreshadowing for your purchase here. You're feeling special
2:00
You're feeling fancy and exclusive for purchasing this. So yes, it is actually fairly slim
2:08
RTX 3080 inside. I'm tempted. This is the only other piece inside the packaging
2:14
That's going to be your power kit. What? You also can use it as a little stamp
2:19
What? Oh, I can use the box as a stand for my angle of attack
2:27
Get out of town. Multipurpose? Multifunction? That's an added little thought right there
2:34
Extra cooling? That's a thought right there. This is your power unit, and we are looking at 280 stinking watts
2:42
The most important portion of any unboxing video on a fresh new gadget
2:47
It's going to be the plastic unwrap, obviously. ah yes very nice now this i can tell you with the plastic on there this is cool to the touch we're
2:56
talking metallic components all the way around ssd times three holy cow 11th gen intel core i9
3:05
11 900h up to 48 gigs of ram my model i believe has 32 installed you have a choice of different
3:13
It displays G-Sync enabled QHD, 165 hertz, 3 millisecond, and a 4K 120 hertz option, 3 millisecond, 17 inch panels
3:23
Either go resolution or you go refresh It up to you but it kinda nice to see even 120 hertz in the 4k model because i do enjoy pixels i do happen to be a pixel peeper the way i been described in
3:37
the past and that's a fine thing to be actually it's totally to that their part number comes up
3:43
with there that is a 1tb ladies and gentlemen it's a m.2 samsung unit holy cow get out of town
3:51
That is a, this is a beast in front of me. I don't know if you're going to configure it that way. You will pay a few dollars for such a thing
3:57
We have three 1TB NVMe M.2 SSDs in this absolute beast. Cowabunga
4:04
We also have the most important characteristic, RTX 3080. And as we look around the device
4:11
we're going to see a lot of opportunity for connection points. Two USB ports, a full-size SD card slot
4:20
which as you know we use a lot around this particular studio our power input a full-size
4:27
hdmi port ethernet jack another usb a port thunderbolt 4 times 2 oh and you can charge
4:34
over this thunderbolt as well if you choose to and then a og audio jack is there as well
4:41
So we flip up, we remove, and how about the matte black finish on the inside
4:52
I tell you what, and you see how the keyboard comes into a nice ergonomic position on the
4:59
lift, and we got a little key travel in there as well
5:04
I like this dedicated scroll for multimedia. We have our power switch up in this location here
5:13
Speaker units look to be along the back side. This is gonna help out with cooling as well
5:18
As I lift this up, you see how we actually create some space in here
5:22
Now the bezel is quite thin on either side and they have fit that front facing camera on the top edge
5:29
I also like this little nub here for helping you lift the display
5:34
It's a nice full size keyboard. Number pad is there as well
5:38
Direction buttons over here. This is like a smooth, almost like rubberized feel, but still cool to the touch
5:47
I got to say, probably my immediate takeaway here is minimalist, which isn't always the
5:55
case on ROG devices, but this can fit in. That can fit in for me
6:00
Like that can, that can find a home for me. It can do the RGB thing
6:04
It can do the gamer thing, but then it can also take it down a notch
6:09
and do the executive thing. It's really got both working for it
6:13
That's the Zephyrus S17 GX702, but you know we got another box down there
6:20
Okay, so maybe not quite as cool, dare I say. You lift up this portion
6:26
and then that lifts up the laptop itself. This one has that perforated back
6:32
and likely this is gonna showcase certain graphics as it has in the past with their other devices
6:37
So the power brick did fit in here, and it's quite a bit more slim
6:42
In this case, we have, wait a sec, 240, what was the other one
6:46
Yeah, 280 versus 240, but it does, man, it saves you quite a bit of thickness on there It still gonna be a dedicated DC connector though I pretty sure you can charge this one over your Type connector as well if you choose All right plastic time
7:12
Similar finish going on. Matte black, cool to the touch. 11900H, i9
7:20
We have one SSD, and in this case it's a 512. So the other one has been spec'd maybe more as a workhorse as well
7:26
I can see easily doing video editing and content creation as well as gaming
7:31
with three terabytes of fast storage. So this one is the world's first QHD 165Hz 3ms display
7:41
with four-sided super narrow bezels, a 94% screen-to-body ratio. I mentioned previously RTX 3070 with liquid metal thermal compound, which sounds fantastic to me
7:55
And a 90 watt hour battery with Thunderbolt 4 power delivery. They claim that the 16 inch display on this model is fitting into a 15 inch chassis
8:05
Your memory, it's similar. It's up to 48 gigs, depending on your configuration
8:10
So moving around the device, USB type A, a micro SD card slot instead of a full size SD like we had on the other one
8:17
here's your dc input or charging full size hdmi again full size ethernet usb type a and then there
8:23
are your thunderbolt 4 ports including the power delivery on this particular port and then you have
8:28
your headphone output at the very front which is kind of nice actually i just thought about that
8:34
you place that right there now your headphone travel you can use one of those short headphone
8:38
cables and you're right there it doesn't have to reach over there okay we lift it up and yes it is
8:45
very very slim bezels over there you have the similar action and in this case the keyboard
8:53
portion is not exclusive of the remainder of the laptop deck so when i lift this one up the entire
8:59
deck is elevated off of the surface as a whole it also kind of jumps up in front of the lower bezel
9:07
so when you look at it at an angle it's the screen to body ratio even seems more aggressive than it is
9:14
because the chin is completely out of view once this portion jumps up in front of it
9:20
and it's able to dip down like that. Also, I'm noticing that this model
9:23
has a tremendous range of motion. So normally on a gaming laptop
9:28
it's gonna stop around here, but this one just keeps going. So we have our front-facing camera up there
9:34
which they've had to shrink it way down. It also looks like it probably has Windows Hello
9:38
in order to get it into this tiny little bezel on the top edge keyboard
9:43
Once again, super minimal, which I appreciate, but still full size. Of course, on this 16 inch model
9:49
there is no number pad as there was on the previous one
9:53
The last box for us to look at is the special box
9:58
I have no idea what is in here. It is a complete surprise. They call it the ultimate fan gift collection
10:03
The old box in a box trick. Look at this
10:22
Definitely for the ultimate fan we have some special edition patches We have mask covers What Promed out stickers
10:33
And a mask. I'll demo it for you real quick. Am I Mortal Kombat ready
10:43
Oh, look at this. Dear ROG Citizen, we got a special messaging and signatures from the important people
10:50
we have a hat as well republic of gamers okay and what is this a towel because we're getting all getting all fired up mid-game
11:03

11:10

11:23
and a little message here from rog our mission by innovating products that offer an exceptional
11:31
experience for gamers we can create a world without limits it's like got like this 8-bit
11:37
kind of style to it and oh i like it it's like an 8-bit style i mean we got the rocket ship king
11:44
to the moon, of course. Like, some of them are classic, but then a few of them
11:50
have some different design elements to it. That's a cool Joker card. Look at that
11:57
Last but not least, ROG building block? Whoa! Get out of town
12:05
We're talking little Lego-like building block. What do I build? What do I build
12:10
Oh, tiny nubs. Interesting. What do I build? Oh, it's gonna be an ROG logo, I bet
12:18
Cool. You gotta build that for the B-roll now. Thank you
