Hey Dave Can We Know The Battery Capacity Of The Mothership ? That Looks Very Promising Man ! But At The Same Time Battery Life Is Something To Be Considered When Choosing A Laptop For Gaming. 🙂

The use case for this is just not there imo. Something that big and powerful should be upgradeable which its not. Just another BGA money pit i think.
Never imagined laptop design like the Asus Mothership. They are the most innovative company develop such a beast gaming series. *_Razer left the chat_*
Mr. Wanjay The design is almost exactly like most of the Microsoft surface laptops, this just has a wireless keyboard as oppose to the keyboard needing to be directly attached to it. Not trying to knock the Mothership tho, still is the only gaming oriented device that can do that so props to Asus. To your other point, I also agree however Razer never once put out an innovative product (aside from their haptic headphones).
@@jconic6023 I bought shitty haptic headphones for $20 like 5 years ago. Granted it was nowhere near Razer's version and it broke kinda fast but it's not an original idea
hey man Razer is hard at work making a new phone that costs 2,000 and probably overheats but at least it will have Chroma RGB to match those overpriced speakers with Chroma RGB they made! Oh wait ASUS gaming phone is also better...damn.
Nope. Its new but also a TERRIBLE DESIGN. I wont mention how the design itself actually limits what a standard laptop can do cause if it isn't apparent then you deserve to buy it :D
@@Matanumi but this is a very premium design not only, its got the best hardware available for a portable PC but also, its got a top notch build quality in Linus video, he showed that all the parts are made of CNC milled aluminum its really really well built and put together.
ASUS is one of the most innovative companies right now. I have a 9 year old ASUS laptop that still runs perfectly. No servicing, ever. *Keep flying pegASUS*
I probably used the webcam on my laptop about 5 times, or even less, for the 5 years it has been with me. And those times, I was just bored and playing around with my laptop's unused features.
If you’re the shy and reserved type, you’ll know all too well that the ‘one size fits all’ approach of most networking tips can leave you feeling more daunted than self-assured. However meeting and engaging new people isn’t just an extrovert’s game. These confidence-boosting tips will have you making contacts, impressing colleagues and winning people over in no time, in your own way. Do your prep If you find that you get a little nervous talking to new people at events, it’s a good idea to do some prep beforehand. Prepare some general open-ended questions such as “How did you get started in your line of work?” and “What do you enjoy most about what you do?”. On the way to each event, think of some interesting things to share about yourself, your experience, and your job to help keep the conversation flowing. If you’re really stuck, do a quick news search and grab the headlines for the day to make sure you’re not drawing a blank if weather, sports or current affairs come up in conversation. Introvert's guide to networking Make networking a habit The more networking situations you put yourself in, the easier it becomes. Instead of constantly debating whether you’ll attend a networking or social event, make a deal with yourself that you’ll attend at least two events a month. It doesn’t matter if it’s a casual Friday night work drinks or a big conference - every event has networking potential. If there’s nothing planned for the next fortnight, make an effort to invite a work colleague or acquaintance out for coffee or lunch. Use being a good listener to your advantage You don’t necessarily have to be the loudest or most talkative person in the room to build a connection with someone. Introverts are often excellent listeners, which in turn leads to them asking more thoughtful questions. This can work to your advantage as people are much more likely to enjoy talking to someone who is listening and displaying genuine interest in what they have to say, as opposed to someone who just steers the conversation to themselves. Give yourself permission to leave Extended periods of social interaction can often be draining for introverts. To help combat this, give yourself a set time frame to stay at any networking event. Once your allocated time is up assess how you’re feeling. If you’re enjoying yourself, hang around for a bit longer. If not, you won’t feel guilty about leaving. It’s far better to stay at an event with maximum energy for a small period of time as opposed to forcing yourself to stay for hours and trying to engage people when you’re mentally exhausted. Time your networking If you know you’re at your best in the morning then arrange to meet a new contact for breakfast as opposed to a drink after work. Strategically timing your networking events will yield better results as you’re much more likely to build a good rapport with someone when you’re feeling lively and energetic. Utilise technology Not all networking has to be done face-to-face. You can join online groups to meet new people within your field and if you’re studying, be sure to utilise online forums to keep in contact with your fellow students. Also, don’t underestimate the power of networking with existing contacts. Make the effort to stay in touch with former tutors and lecturers, work colleagues, mentors, and employers via email and professional networks. Staying top of mind of your existing network could lead to new opportunities later on. Aim for quality not quantity If you walk away from an event with fewer contacts compared to your more extroverted colleagues, don’t let it get you down. When it comes to networking, remember that it’s about quality not quantity. It’s far more beneficial to your career in the long run if you have a few quality contacts that you’re able to dedicate time to establishing a solid professional connection with, as opposed to having an overflowing address book of people you may have spoken to once and never contacted again.
Honestly Asus is super smart for removing the webcam. No one uses it lol and even if someone needed a camera they would probably use an external one a way of theyre serious about it
Mothership might not be for everyone, but it's still pretty nice and interesting to see this kind of innovation in laptop design and makes one wonder where it'll go from here. Thumbs up in my opinion 👍
The price will be a huge issue, but the mothership concept is exactly what I've always wanted. A portable computer that can be easily stored and cleaned up (perfect for those using computers without offices or dedicated computer desks)
“It opens in a complete bonkers way” yup, I could not come up with that simple yet effective way to describe in our vernacular language. Love the design, specially having that track pad on the right side instead of the center. Obviously, I am biased since I am right handed. Also, one thing I hate about low footprint laptop keyboards is that they lack a numeric pad. This track pad solves booth issues (location of the track pad and a numeric pad) since they are intuitive, unless of course, the keyboard Special Ops warrior is a south paw. 10 pounds is heavy? For some people it might be, but us Marines, it is but 1/10 of the total weight of our ALICE packs, and that excludes rifles. I already have an Alienware 15 R4. If I would have waited a little bit longer, this Mother would have been it. Thanks Mr. Lee for another simple yet effective review, this time on this MOAB, Mother Of All Beasts. Be blessed.
Why are people such idiots, like they buy Android phones. Everyone knows they're overpriced crap that slows down within a week to the point where it becomes unusable. Like iPhones are the fastest, and the best at everything. Only idiots would buy Android phones
@@aw9793 Um r u sure about that? Android are slow since they could fuction more than IOS. IOS is shit because we get uneccessary bloatware that we never even need. Android is actually more powerful not because they could function more but they could also run more than 2 background apps without lagging not like the IOS which only supports 2 background apps.
It's not a stationary device, though. For folks that don't need to move around, there's no reason to pick this over a regular desktop (be it an all-in-one or tower).

I love this guy! Probably the best laptop reviewer on the planet. Videos are well thought out and concise, clearly grabbing people's attention every second. I know making videos and editing every week is pretty tough, but how about making a daily blog like Casey Neistat? Maybe that would bring more people into your channel?

Good talk man! 2018 was flooded with thermals, Asus suffered greatly - but they found interesting ways to deal with real problems. I like the webcam solution, love the thermal one.
@@GrizzlyHD277 thank you for re instating the most cliche statement. Its about the form factor and portability you pay for. In 2019 the performance gap is closer than ever
lol Linus was not allowed to even see the GPU specs... and Dave here got the entire motherboard and of course just opened the Nvidia cpanel to see the rest of the gpu specs...🤣🤣🤣🤣
for easy volume change, ive set my page up and page down to volume up and volume down. I also set home to skip, scroll lock to pause and insert to previous track. I never use the keys for anything so i thought i might as well remap em
This is exactly how I want the future of ipad/surface to work, albeit in a sleeker package. Desktop level performance, YUGE screen with kickstand that’s excellent for binge/browse, keyboard with good travel that can be used attached or wireless. This thing would be good for work, casual fun, AND serious gaming. Love it. Better than 2-in-1s. Hope next year we’ll see a Dell XP or HP Envy version of this concept.
On one hand: I really love these videos, because I like how you introduce the stuff! On the other hand I don't really like these videos, becaus after a video like that, I just thinking about why I don't have enough money to buy all of these products. (Sry for my english)
at 2:09 you can see a noticeable ding in the metal on the top left hand area of the unit. Hopefully in the retail sample, it won't be that damage prone
Yes, I think just about everyone and their mother has noticed this by now. Is there such a need to point this out in every video or are people just learning about press embargoes?
any laptop with those same specs would be very uncomfortable as a laptop anyways. most people who buy a beastly machine like that are NOT using it all over town, they're using it as a mobile desktop going between a few work environments and their home office, so that level of usability isn't much of a concern. someone who is actually always on the go and needs a REALLY mobile machine would opt for something much more thin and light that sacrifices performance for efficiency and battery life
I think he means whether or not it has to be directly plugged into a wall to work. Laptops have an internal battery and therefore are portable; desktops don’t, so they can generally be used in only one place unless you like to frequent LAN parties.
@@kelethutoneikha4754 I mean this is the question you should ask instead of "is this a 'desktop'" although you could argue this is not a laptop, as no one in their right mind would use it on their lap
2:09 WTF is that hole in the top left of the laptop? Did you drop that masterpiece on the ground or you just made a toughness test video about this laptop too?
Im rocking the Acer Predator Laptop with i7 and 1050Ti and im probably going to keep it for like 5 years since it runs new Games on 60-100 FPS maxed out and my main Game wich is Counterstrike gets up to 420 FPS. So I’m totally with you there.

If you’re the shy and reserved type, you’ll know all too well that the ‘one size fits all’ approach of most networking tips can leave you feeling more daunted than self-assured. However meeting and engaging new people isn’t just an extrovert’s game.
These confidence-boosting tips will have you making contacts, impressing colleagues and winning people over in no time, in your own way.
Do your prep
If you find that you get a little nervous talking to new people at events, it’s a good idea to do some prep beforehand. Prepare some general open-ended questions such as “How did you get started in your line of work?” and “What do you enjoy most about what you do?”.
On the way to each event, think of some interesting things to share about yourself, your experience, and your job to help keep the conversation flowing. If you’re really stuck, do a quick news search and grab the headlines for the day to make sure you’re not drawing a blank if weather, sports or current affairs come up in conversation.
Introvert's guide to networking
Make networking a habit
The more networking situations you put yourself in, the easier it becomes. Instead of constantly debating whether you’ll attend a networking or social event, make a deal with yourself that you’ll attend at least two events a month. It doesn’t matter if it’s a casual Friday night work drinks or a big conference - every event has networking potential. If there’s nothing planned for the next fortnight, make an effort to invite a work colleague or acquaintance out for coffee or lunch.
Use being a good listener to your advantage
You don’t necessarily have to be the loudest or most talkative person in the room to build a connection with someone. Introverts are often excellent listeners, which in turn leads to them asking more thoughtful questions. This can work to your advantage as people are much more likely to enjoy talking to someone who is listening and displaying genuine interest in what they have to say, as opposed to someone who just steers the conversation to themselves.
Give yourself permission to leave
Extended periods of social interaction can often be draining for introverts. To help combat this, give yourself a set time frame to stay at any networking event. Once your allocated time is up assess how you’re feeling.
If you’re enjoying yourself, hang around for a bit longer. If not, you won’t feel guilty about leaving. It’s far better to stay at an event with maximum energy for a small period of time as opposed to forcing yourself to stay for hours and trying to engage people when you’re mentally exhausted.
Time your networking
If you know you’re at your best in the morning then arrange to meet a new contact for breakfast as opposed to a drink after work. Strategically timing your networking events will yield better results as you’re much more likely to build a good rapport with someone when you’re feeling lively and energetic.
Utilise technology
Not all networking has to be done face-to-face. You can join online groups to meet new people within your field and if you’re studying, be sure to utilise online forums to keep in contact with your fellow students. Also, don’t underestimate the power of networking with existing contacts. Make the effort to stay in touch with former tutors and lecturers, work colleagues, mentors, and employers via email and professional networks. Staying top of mind of your existing network could lead to new opportunities later on.
Aim for quality not quantity
If you walk away from an event with fewer contacts compared to your more extroverted colleagues, don’t let it get you down. When it comes to networking, remember that it’s about quality not quantity. It’s far more beneficial to your career in the long run if you have a few quality contacts that you’re able to dedicate time to establishing a solid professional connection with, as opposed to having an overflowing address book of people you may have spoken to once and never contacted again.

I was guessing $3,500-$3,700

even at 3 k you can get an 8700k RTX 2080 an acer x34p or asus pg348q, its still not worth it to get a gaming laptop over a desktop
@@GrizzlyHD277 thank you for re instating the most cliche statement. Its about the form factor and portability you pay for. In 2019 the performance gap is closer than ever

Is this really portable though? It's easier to move than a desktop but it's still enormous.
Now all we need is a high powered budget lineup of gaming laptops
Can we make that a desktop with 25" screen that is also fold up and fit in a purse?
What is "high powered" and "budget"?
You can't have "high powered laptop" and say "budget" in the same sentence. That's not how this works.
Budget😂😂😂😂😂😂
ITS A GAMING TABLET!
I love seeing how proud he is about the Mothership “Laptop”. I am, too. Keep it cool, Asus.
Good to see a new approach on laptop design. Hope it evolves with time.
me: dad can you gift me this if I get good grades.
Dad: sure! what's the price?
again me: ( after looking at the price).........just leave it.
I have better idea...
You can steal his credit card
Nah just tell your dad.
And I wanna ask is this laptop or desktop.?
It's a hybrid
Classified as a laptop. The same way large gaming laptops are still laptops
there are business people need to carry a desktop around
and this mothership design makes complete sense to them
It’s a laptop as it doesn’t need external power.
@@chasemcdougall602 but you also have portable PC though and pocket PC that doesn't need external power but DEFINITELY are not laptops.

lol Linus was not allowed to even see the GPU specs... and Dave here got the entire motherboard and of course just opened the Nvidia cpanel to see the rest of the gpu specs...🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's because Linus is dick head ;P
Linus would have dropped it.
2:07 Who also saw damage at top left? 😂
for easy volume change, ive set my page up and page down to volume up and volume down. I also set home to skip, scroll lock to pause and insert to previous track. I never use the keys for anything so i thought i might as well remap em
*you forgot to sbow the cnc machined aluminum heatshields* 😬
1:42 "This thing is running a GTX 2080.." I was so confused lol
2080 without the RT cores.
This is exactly how I want the future of ipad/surface to work, albeit in a sleeker package. Desktop level performance, YUGE screen with kickstand that’s excellent for binge/browse, keyboard with good travel that can be used attached or wireless. This thing would be good for work, casual fun, AND serious gaming. Love it. Better than 2-in-1s. Hope next year we’ll see a Dell XP or HP Envy version of this concept.
On one hand: I really love these videos, because I like how you introduce the stuff!
On the other hand I don't really like these videos, becaus after a video like that, I just thinking about why I don't have enough money to buy all of these products.
(Sry for my english)
Calling it a laptop is a disgrace to laptops
Other than that, this is a beast
at 2:09 you can see a noticeable ding in the metal on the top left hand area of the unit. Hopefully in the retail sample, it won't be that damage prone
This is dope!
Everybody is talking about this ‘laptop’ first Linus, then Austin , now Dave.
William Rugendyke
Asus sent out these samples to them and in exchange they HAVE TO release these review on this exact date n time
The video publishing embargo was lifted just a little ago.
Yes, I think just about everyone and their mother has noticed this by now. Is there such a need to point this out in every video or are people just learning about press embargoes?
LUL just looked at your profile. Explains your comment
@@XZagatoX what do you mean?
This was a fun simple video! Thanks for the update, Dave.
It's not a LAPtop its an all-in-one with a battery in it.
Well you wouldn't want to use a gaming laptop on your lap either.
any laptop with those same specs would be very uncomfortable as a laptop anyways. most people who buy a beastly machine like that are NOT using it all over town, they're using it as a mobile desktop going between a few work environments and their home office, so that level of usability isn't much of a concern. someone who is actually always on the go and needs a REALLY mobile machine would opt for something much more thin and light that sacrifices performance for efficiency and battery life
Where's the line between desktop and laptop? 🤔
Does it have a battery?
@@diegosanchez894 of course it does.
I think he means whether or not it has to be directly plugged into a wall to work. Laptops have an internal battery and therefore are portable; desktops don’t, so they can generally be used in only one place unless you like to frequent LAN parties.
Razer Blade Pro
@@kelethutoneikha4754 I mean this is the question you should ask instead of "is this a 'desktop'" although you could argue this is not a laptop, as no one in their right mind would use it on their lap
Love it when companies think out of the box and aren't afraid to take a concept to full prototype stage.
2:09 WTF is that hole in the top left of the laptop? Did you drop that masterpiece on the ground or you just made a toughness test video about this laptop too?
Me: iam gonna get that
Also me: looks at price
Also me: yea this is not for me
Picking up the Zephyrus 2080 this Monday.
Very excited, huge upgrade from my current 960m!
2:10 - looks like a Dent at left top corner -_-
The zephyrus is definitely on my bucket list !!!
As a vfx/motion design artist that travels alot, this has me drooling.
I'm fine with my gaming laptop that has a 1050Ti lol,not gonna buy a pc for a while...😢
Im rocking the Acer Predator Laptop with i7 and 1050Ti and im probably going to keep it for like 5 years since it runs new Games on 60-100 FPS maxed out and my main Game wich is Counterstrike gets up to 420 FPS.
So I’m totally with you there.
@@zLcss Yes dude these laptop are great.Im having a good time !
My laptop still has the 9 series in it. Probably going to upgrade when the next generation comes out.
Samuel Baird I mean depending on what you’re playing, the 9 Series could still go strong for 2-3 years
@@zLcss oh and one thing:can we upgrade the GPU when our will be old...?
After buying what now
Resell it
Test how strong
-Drop it from a building 1000ft off the ground-
Thanks dave!!!! Another great review
How do you even put that _laptop_ on your lap
If you mean cause of thermals, a laptop tray.
You put the keyboard on your lap 😂
That's a portable AIO, not a laptop, so you are not suppose to do laptop.
After buy rog mothership
"I hate it when someone steal my laptop display"
havent seen Dave this impressed for very LONGGG time
I know not everybody cares but
*Dave the links in the description don't work!*
One day they will tho. One day
its been 8 months the mothership hasnt even been released yet...
Obivously alot of testing and benchmarking needed before releasing a product like this
The detachable keyboard is just awesome for gaming. Now you can have your keyboard tilted relative to the screen when you gaming
3:13 forsenCD Clap
If mothership sells for less than 3500 cad im buying it.
that is so freaking cool
How about the Alienware area 51m?
Dave, this video made me really happy.
Thank you.
holy mother of god
its not in production
RIP MacBook Pro with Vega 20 and i7/9th gen cpu in gaming
