A laptop with water in it??

The video provides an introduction to a high-end ASUS ROG G800 GX gaming laptop showcased at PAX West 2016. Linus walks through the machine’s impressive internal specs, highlighting an Intel Core i7 6820HQ processor, a GTX 1080 desktop-class graphics card, a massive 18.4 inch 4K IPS display, 64 GB of DDR4 memory, and 1 TB NVMe storage. A standout feature is the MechTag mechanical keyboard, which Linus notes has a tactile bump partway through key travel, though ASUS provides limited official details on its switch specifications. The host also points out a sophisticated water cooling integration with multiple water cooling pass-throughs on the back for the GX model, along with a modular dock and a glass panel element whose purpose remains unclear at the time of filming. The discussion touches on the difficulty of obtaining concrete performance numbers during the event and promises a more thorough review once he has the GX model in the office, including extensive benchmarking with and without the water cooler. The video wraps with a plug for an upcoming giveaway sponsored by Razer and a teaser that more in-depth testing will follow in a future review, underscoring the anticipation around ASUS’s unusual cooling approach and the laptop’s likely impact on gaming laptop design.
