ROG Mothership Laptop is Insa #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin and this is one

of the coolest gaming laptops I've ever

seen so this might not look like

anything all that special rights just

like a fairly chunky big gaming laptop

but I flip it over this was just a

little bit different and by a little I

mean a lot different this is the rog

mothership if you saw a video we did

last year on the rog g7o 3 you know that

was hands-down the most ridiculous

overkill gaming laptop we've ever taken

a look at we'll take a lot of what I

said about that and put it into this

form factor we've got some fun stuff so

this is a bit thinner than the G 703

what's interesting about it is that

they've really rearranged all the

components so I flip it around what

you'll see is that all the main stuff

like the CPU and the GPU they're all

around back so as opposed to a normal

laptop where you pretty much have the

keyboard that's blocking it instead we

have full airflow here as well as on the

top and this has some serious specs when

you're talking like a core i9r checks

2080 I mean this has got a lot of stuff

and it's able to keep cool with a

slightly unusual design there's even RGB

underneath the kickstand so that

everyone can see just how cool you are

now I get that this is not a standard

laptop form factor but honestly that's

kind of ok right you're talking about a

very high-end gaming laptop which is a

little bit more portable but it

definitely does not stop there so if you

want you can use the keyboard and

touchpad like a standard laptop or you

can actually detach the entire panel and

then it will flip over to wireless mode

so what's cool about this is that you

still have your keyboard you still have

your touchpad and of course if you want

to you can just put this away and you

know use another set of peripherals or

you can even use this wire because it

does have a USB C port to charge as well

as to use a wirelessly or wired lis

wired plea wired wired this is a really

good example of why this design actually

makes some sense right I mean of course

you could do a standard laptop and have

all the components on the bottom but

because of this I mean it's kind of like

the most overkill - and one ever this is

a big laptop it has a 17.3 inch panel

that is a full 144 Hertz with a three

millisecond response time and on top of

that what's kind of cool about the

keyboard design is that we actually have

a ton of room for the speakers so I

start praying this up it's super loud so

it has four four watt speakers that are

all blasting directly at you and it even

does have RGB

because of course it does of course it

does surprisingly exactly no one this

thing has ridiculous specs so it has an

overclocked core I nine processor 64

gigs of ram three one terabyte SSDs in

raid because obviously that's important

and we of course do have that brand new

Archie X 20 80 GPU but this is as good

as it gets for laptop GPUs right now but

unfortunately I'm not at liberty to show

you gaming on this particular system so

you just have to take my word that it

can definitely definitely play for

tonight and like Crysis I guess or

whatever the kids play can we just all

just just pause for one second this

thing is ridiculous like straight up

I've seen a lot of 201 designs and

usually it's much more on the

ultraportable side which is great right

I mean it's nice to have something

that's super thin super light but this

is so like it's cool right I mean look

at this so we have the kickstand you

also have all the ports I've even gone

over that yet so we have not only 2.5

gigabit ethernet we also have Wi-Fi 6

you've got Thunderbolt you've got USB a

you've got HDMI I mean this thing is

loaded with cool specs but I really

appreciate that that's all loaded into a

chassis which is legitimately different

right I mean of course I won't actually

get my hands on and spend some proper

time to see how well it thermal

throttles or anything like that but you

can look at just how much space you've

got we were able to do a little bit of

our once once over on some of the

components that are on the outside to

see kind of like the CNC aluminum and

the heat sinks and stuff but I just

really appreciate that this is a gaming

laptop which is obviously very powerful

but it's actually really cool you might

be familiar with the rog Zephyrus s

which came out a few months ago well

this is a super cool 15 inch design they

now have an updated 17 inch version so

with it closed it's incredibly thin at

only eighteen point seven millimeters

but with the active aerodynamic system

which is a very a Seuss name we do get a

little bit of extra cooling thanks to

the bottom panel opening up and this is

similar to the last generation model

however it has even more power inside

with a full r-tx 2080 max-q inside like

the other Zephyrus models it is a fairly

understated design and that's something

I appreciate in a gaming laptop

I'm sure you've got all the RGB you want

you've got perky RGB lighting on the

keyboard

you've got the logo the under glow but

if you want you can turn all that stuff

off and you get yourself what's actually

a fairly subdued laptop especially

considering that it does have that full

17 inch screen as a laptop with the core

i7 and an RT X 2080 inside it does come

with a fairly beefy power brick what's

cool is it does also support USB see

charging and mind you you won't be able

to use a brick like this for say gaming

but if you wanna get a little bit of

juice on the go if you're not doing

anything all that intensive this does

work what's interesting about the

Zephyrs is that it does come with an

external webcam as opposed to cramming a

very small camera and the bezel instead

this is something that is at full 1080p

60fps which you can not only mount to

the laptop itself or if you wanted to

you can use the included stand and put

it off to the side now our G was tell me

a little bit about the idea that

obviously a lot of people are buying

this for something like say twitch

streaming or whatever so the idea that

you have a better webcam that you could

place off to the side and it still comes

the laptop is a nice touch

although I don't know those cameras are

cool right

the 17-inch version of the Zephyrus will

be going on sale later this month and

they refreshed 15 and will go on sale

just a little bit after that I don't

have a price for you as you might

imagine art CX is not going to be

particularly cheap anyway hope you guys

enjoyed definitely be sure to stay tuned

to the channel for lots more other CES
