Would you rather this setup? Or a laptop/desktop combo?

"Wow, beautiful i wonder what's the price?" "3299 USD" "okay, bye."

I'm really starting to miss those 2 lights in the background

90% of the comments : "I'm broke" remaining 10% : "I'm broke"

I hope this culture of separate GPU really catches up with other companies and this time for *"SERIOUS"* . 🤞🤞

"It makes this sound when you rub it the wrong way." ~ Dave Lee (2021)

05:56 "Cyberpunk Ray-Tracing: LOL PLZ"😂😂😂😂

Dave - 'If I had the money, I know I would tempted'. Who the hell can have the money if you don't ?

“It comes at 3299” I ooofed so hard I pulled a leg muscle

Me: My God I want this. _My Wallet: "LOL PLZ"_

me: Thinking why he keeps fixating "If you're fortunate enough". Dave: Yeah it costs 3 grand. me: Oh.

For me this looks amazing for some of our design engineers. We often don't need GPU power. But we do need multi-core performance. So several of these laptops and one or two of the GPUs would be perfect.

That’s around $4300 Canadian after tax.....yea nah, this is gonna get a “yea nah” from me.

Dave: "It comes in at 32..." Me: "Alright see you next video"

You know it’s something good when Dave can’t contain his smile

This is specifically what I want, but can't afford 😂 Hope other brands will make versions of this as well!

This is exactly what I would want / need in the future. So you have a powerful game set up at home and connect it to a monitor and also a portable laptop which looks classy. Great!

Loved the “LOL PLZ”.

I live in a small apartment in Japan with a family and honestly this is the sort of thing I've wanted to replace my desktop.

0:00 Best intro ever, just wow. Keep using it.

Cyberpunk - RT: LOL PLZ Laughed so hard

Can't wait for the G15 review!

Was looking forward to this review in particular, thanks for doing it 👍🏻

7:15 - That laptop opening transition is Siiiick !

all i know is that all my money flows into asus when i get to afford this

Seeing Dave more than my friends feels good tho

Apart from the price, I feel like this is the perfect product for me. I'm disabled, I can't sit at a desk very long and I can't lift a heavy desktop replacement laptop. This I could move around on my own, I could have the eGPU on a laptop table and I could go from UKposts on the couch to gaming in bed without an issue. I love this thing.

I loved the ending where you plug in the GPU and it's Cyberpunk: ON

"It makes this sound when you rub it the wrong way." Uhm I think that applies to everyone rofl

Me: It's a 2 in 1, so it can only have integrated graphics. Asus: Nah, we got a GTX 1650. Me: Take all my mon- Asus: hol up *shoves RTX 3080*

As someone who constantly moving because of work assignment, this is the perfect scenario for me. I tend to keep all of my stuff very simple and minimal to reduce cost of moving.

That thing is so bad ass. Love the looks too. Thanks for sharing! Really was diggin this when you did that video of all the laptops and showed this.

“Its a shorty”- Uncle Dave, 2021

was waiting for this type of laptop for programming + gaming. can't Wait to get my hands on this one.

I loved the whole egpu trend that happened a couple years back and to see this is amazing for people like me who isn't really at a stationary place a whole lot I can't wait to see the support and the further iterations of this.

6:03 "LOL PLZ" Bro I'm dead

"It will make some sound when you rubbing it or poking it the wrong way" Okay Dave!

If touring and travel was a thing, this would be the perfect machine to do it -as a VJ for concerts and festivals, I’ve been wishing for something like this for years

dave, this intro is so clean!! and in 4k? you spoil us

Been waiting for this!

Reminds me a lot of my old Sony Vaio Z series that used eGPUs over lightpeak! Glad to see that OEMs are still experimenting with this idea.

O M G.......that bass in the intro.......🤯🤯🤯 I never knew my galaxy buds could put out Bass like that! 😲

Can I be the millionth person to tell you: The time that you put into editing and producing these videos is totally worth it. Great job

This laptop reminds me of a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back! This laptop would be very useful for me.

I personally love this product. I’m a laptop gamer and the appeal of being able to buy a new external GPU rather than a new laptop every couple of years is appealing. However, for me the ssd is what lets it down. Only coming with 1TB of storage and being difficult to replace makes this product something that is not viable sadly. Game files are too big nowadays to have such limited storage options. I am pleased to see that many of Asus’s new laptops are coming with the option of a 2TB ssd this year though which means that I may well purchase something from their new line.

this is specifically what i want! and what i need, i was searching for a powerful laptop that is portable for i work on the road, this is just perfect, you came in the ryt time man!

I have it, very pleased with it. This is sort of my dream of around 6 years ago come true. Back then I envisioned a laptop I could carry around for medium workload, tablet for browsing/videos on the longer go, and a desktop PC with some oomph to be the main workhorse on my main desk. My previous gaming laptop was a heavy box, and never got a tablet, as usually phone was close enough for the on the go browsing, and even watching some movies on the plane.

I feel like it would be the perfect product for me, the fact that the eGPU has all the ports included and charges the device, combined with the pen support for the touchscreen makes it really versatile: you can have a 2 monitor setup at home, use the laptop screen as imput for drawing, then on the go have an all-in-one. Its sad it is so expensive.

His intro has so much bass my sub woofer shook my house 😂

The zoom effect on the track pad was neat!

Great review Dave! I can see the use case for this, but I wish Asus would have delivered a bit more on the 4K display. I am more of a desktop user, but I like the thought behind Asus’ laptops.

Careful Dave, the intro is too close to nintendo’s pluck sound they might sue you

*I am, for the first time in the last 8 years I've been following consumer tech, beyond excited by a new Laptop formfactor, more than any previous Thunderbolt eGPU or 3 screen concept, MaxQ and so on !!!* I can legitimately see a future where all the GPUs come out of the laptop to become external docks like this, the benefits are numerous: from improved battery life when u detach the graphics, lighter weight and smaller size of the laptop, ability to bring a lighter USB C charger when on the go, or bring your big charger that's also a USB dock and a 3080M !!! Remember that top spec gaming laptops already come with bulky almost 2lb bricks as chargers... This is a 3080M in a 2.2lb power brick!!! Technology gets cheaper over time so I don't get the sentiment from the comments that this ONE OF A KIND, first gen product is too expensive... It includes a 3080 in it, that alone is a 1300$ product right now, if u can find it at all... I know its not a full desktop 3080 but more like a 10% higher core count and 20% lower clocked 3070, but come on! IT HAS 16GBs of VRAM! U don't get that much in the desktop 3080! Needless to say, I hope this thing catches on and becomes an industry wide trend, with mass adoption of actually good and portable eGPU docks that use x8 PCIe 3.0 (or even better PCIe 4.0 connections, so that the bandwidth limits of previous eGPUs is eliminated) across many different brands and products! It's incredible what Asus engineers have done here, they are pushing the industry forward and I am amazed that some of the comments don't see it this way but are focusing on the price!

gotta love that sick bass in the intro

Love your content Dave

0:28 "It's something else" he already sounds so pleased with the product.

That's a good approach to the external GPU. Definitely a viable option to always have a mobile laptop and a choice of mobile gaming laptop and with GPU in a separate casing which is great from thermal perspective. Would be nice to see this progress and close the gap between desktop GPU version. Most of the time people play games at home so they could take the laptop with without the external GPU and in less often scenarios there is still the comfortable option to take it with you, a laptop backpack is definitely enough to put it in. Also if the connection standard is kept and the GPUs pool will expand with new GPUs being released, that can easily replace a desktop for someone who wants the ability to play games without resigning from mobility. In a perfect world I would see this as a standard for any laptop using some standard interface which would be fast enough for GPU. Promising but with Nvidia closing the gap more and more between their desktop vs mobile GPUs, there is a chance that won't be needed much longer. 3070 Super looks SUPER in comparison to mobile 2080. The only thing left to do is for producers to make a real difference regarding cooling systems. They are getting better but are still far from what's needed atm.

Wish there was like a full version of the outro. It's beautiful.

This is exactly what I want for years !!! So smart the usb c inside the connection !

“...for 7 dollars” I knew you were gonna say that

6:01 "LOL PLZ"

I like how honest you are

Wow Dave, first time here. Amazing review 👍

I wouldn't mind selling my house for this atleast I could game on forever

❤️❤️❤️ :)

Awesome review! I am really looking forward to see if the G14 has a better screen this year - in response to latency.. last version had a 20ms, slow screen. I play CS GO.. so a 120hz 3ms screen is good enough for me.

Loved that you were so stoked at the beginning and you didn't know how to describe it and settled with "This is a very... IT"S JUST SO COOL!" hahahahaha

Big Question: Does GPU Performance throttle when you do something with the ports at the GPU Dock. This happened with a Razer Core Product and was a big problem.

I love the way he keeps saying "students" instead of "spoilt rich brats".

Loving these ever so endangered inverted T for the arrows.

I think you put it perfectly - this setup is made specifically for a certain person - so happens I am totally that person! - It works as a powerful notebook when I'm on the go - Plugged in the CPU should crush design workflows like Illustrator and InDesign - Jacked into the XG mobile its got gaming/game dev strength - In stand its a drawing tablet for photoshop with any MPP pen - Flat down its a tablet for casual surfing! I'm really excited to get my hands on this setup when more options are available.

Let's be honest when we clicked on this video knowing we were going to say "That's cool and all but I'm broke"

This is such a 1990s concept. Proprietary, expensive, and will have support dropped before you know it.

you make your videos in a cool way, that's awesome

Can't wait for the g15 review!

I was honestly really considering getting this, then i heard the pricing. My guess is that next year many more companies will hop on this trend so they will definately become cheaper.

Was waiting for this so bad. I was refreshing UKposts every few minutes for the last couple of days. I need this.

Many reviews, but yours is on point. I love it.

Your thumbnails are awesome

This is the kind of innovation and competition I love to see because it pushes the tech forward. AMD have done a great job of waking up Intel. I'm excited to see how Intel is responding from pressure from AMD, Arm, Apple and Microsoft. I love Thunderbolt but Intel need the support of more than just Apple, they need AMD as well. Thunderbolt should switch to PCIe 6.0 to support eGPUs better.

"hard, solid D" - 2020 "It makes this sound when you rub it the wrong way or poke at it the wrong way" - 2021 Dave you better be careful

great content, just keeps getting better.

Great as always! Would love to see you review some 360hz monitors such as "ASUS PG259QN/R" vs "Alienware AW2521H". Peace

I always liked your adidas track upper!!!.....it suits u! 😌

8:54 me: mom can we have unicorn? mom: we have unicorn at home unicorn at home: 🌽 unique corn

Hey, I really hope that you will go over scar 17. That's the one that is really tempting to me. Anyway, thank you for your reviews, I even watched your vacuum one!

I don't always write comments on UKposts. I have been watching his videos for a long time and I personally agree the others opinion. Dave is very clean and simple person and I like it 👍

$3,300 is pricey, but I love this vision of the future of external GPUs.

Does Linux work on this at all? Especially the 3080 box. Would be a dealbreaker for me if not

Just letting it b known, Your reviews are the most reliable in the vast sea of reviews.

Awsome vid Dave very positive

"It's not bright" TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE.

06:05 GTX 1650MQ on CyberPunk RT : "LOL PLZ" hahahahahahaha

i agree with what u saying at the end,, there's going to be people out there that see this and specifically what i need, but if the price push it over to the already niche segment to another unaffordable segment, it will stay there and becomes a trophy instead of something meant to be used, and with the speed of how electronic/gadget/laptop obsolete, the lesser people use it the less manufacture will keep/support the product in the long run

wow thats a nice idea, i hope they start to do this with other models and other specs!

Alright... Say goodbye to your twin, kidney.

The non up-gradable RAM kept me from buying this. I almost bought it, but you showed me what I needed. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Very helpful, concise. I have a question, should I buy a gaming laptop for office work/entertainment/amateur video editing etc even though I do not play games?

I could see this continuing for sure
