    Hello everyone, and thanks for checking out my Computex coverage! There are probably more than a few of you who have been keeping up with the ASUS RMA situation, and I know it wasn't addressed in this video. But I have talked to multiple ASUS reps this week and it is something they are taking very seriously -- ASUS is a huge company and none of the designers, engineers and other contributors to their portfolio of products want to see their efforts tarnished by a poor after-sale support reputation. If you would like to hear some of my more direct opinions on the issue and ASUS' initial response, I recommend checking out the May 19 Tech News - ua-cam.com/video/EwYn6iHR8BY/v-deo.html
    That said, Computex is always about new and upcoming products, so that was our focus, and I hope we can all find a balance between keeping ASUS honest with their RMA support, and doing what we really love to do -- geeking out over PC hardware.

      Paul, this just shows how professional and great you are! Compared to some other content creators who would just skip or ignore the Asus booth, you have the courage to go and cover it. There are people out there (like myself) who have never had any issues with Asus and would be interested in the upcoming products. I love your Computex videos every year! Keep up the great work!

      Folk from businesses, to the braindead gamer infant have been speaking on Asus' bad customer service and RMA practices for years.
      This current product just happened to be swept up like gold, so the moment folk started running into the fact of the matter, that it was the wrong mix of communities to screw over.
      GN did good by digging into it. Darn right folk are gonna follow an "parrot" what is honestly fact from over the years. Due to the nature of things, if it wasn't them, someone else would have picked on on quite a few cases of ASUS being criminal atm even outside of that handheld.

      Sure if there's a very unlikely failure, you might have a warranty issue. But the idea that you think LFP batteries need to be replaceable just tells me that you have zero idea what you're talking about. And come on... do we really need modular UPS for home use? It's a good quality UPS designed to look like Mjolnir for pities sake. It's not for a server cabinet in a game dev companies office. The step up from this is to get a Tesla Powerwall or one of the dozens of alternative companies that make them. And guess what? Yeah, those are mostly LFP batteries now and they all buy their cells from companies that make LFP which is the most reliable battery cell of high density we've got to date. If you're worried that this will only last at least ten years, you are not assessing it correctly.

You've got to make the distinction between gear that makes you money, and gear you use for an hour every evening to play some console port you got from Sony because you're suffering from the privilege of living in a country where they'll let you play it and are too ignorant not to buy console ports. Sure, then you don't need a good keyboard, because you're not a real gamer anyway ;)

    The BTF card adapter is probably the best item of the entire video (depending on how much it costs). Those 5K/6K monitors look yummy though. That being said, I found it conspicuous that JJ didn't mention SD card I/O for them. For the time being I'm still rocking my ProArt 329 (I think that's the model number?) and not about to replace yet.

I added a third screen to my setup, an Asus ProArt PA278QV. I was looking for something that could cover the IPS ground and it's proving to be a very nice screen. The Mjolnir UPS torch caught me off guard.. it's a pretty funny/silly tie in product but in context that was a nice form and function combo. The flipable display panel on the PSU units is a nice touch for the builder.

  • @Alcaatraz01
    @Alcaatraz01 25 днів тому +2

    JJ, great to see you in action. My case feedback for your BTF ITX cases is that it would be nice if they were a bit modular, or more modular, so that you could have an optional layer that could attach that can accommodate a standard ATX-sized power supply. Currently I have an ultrawide monitor on my desk and would like to fit the vertical orientated itx case in the video. But I don't want to purchase a SFF psu. It's an extra cost for what should be just a case swap. Currently I have an itx mobo. Would be cool if an optional chamber for an atx power supply could be used as a base that the rest of the system stacks on top of or even just docked by their sides. Ideally compatible in all orientations but in my situation I'm looking for the vertical oritentation (vertical gpu) layout so it can sit next to my ultradewide.
    Personally would love, and appreciate, the minimalist dimensions to be kept. It's the main selling point for me. The open nature I could take or leave. The option to attach a cover after the fact would be nice but I wouldn't know what I prefer without trying both approaches first.

    Right now, it doesn't matter to me how good or how much better ASUS' products are. I'm not buying anything Asus until they resolve their warranty/RMA issues satisfactorily for the consumer. Period. Products can fail, happens to everyone, but warranties are the safety net for that. If warranties fail, there's nothing for customers to fall back on.

    I trully believe he is excited about how hardware is evolving in this day and age. Obviously very knowledgeable of the intricacies on the engineering level.
    He just knows how to explain the complex part to customers in simple terms and transfer the aforementioned excitement to others.

    The mini itx small form factor is nice. But it has to be designed for easy cleaning from all the extra dust. Also it will need a protective case for storage.
    Im using my nviidia for super resolution for chrome. So being able to use this in the living room as something that can fit with furniture and not add to wire management issues by hiding beside the tv or behind makes powerrul pcs more into a all in one system and not just for pc/monitor set up but also for the living room.

  • @JasonSpears
    @JasonSpears 25 днів тому +1

    I would really like to see an Asus (or Fractal, or Antec, etc) step up and put some R&D dollars into standards-compliant ATX cases that provide a separate thermal environment for GPUs. We're already halfway there with riser cables and veritcal mounting, but the emphasis there is on making something that's cool to look at, not something that will run cooler. The industry is way behind on solving the problem that a two- to three-hundred watt GPU introduces into a small hot box that was never designed to provide that kind of cooling.
    These boutique mini-ITX chassis (they're not really cases) with open-air GPU mounting are fun to look at and by default provide the needed airflow, but are not practical. I think you can still get a cool aesthetic while providing practical solutions, but Asus seems interested in art installations.

    • @jorge57121

      Such a great comment. Gamers Nexus seems more interested in tech breakthroughs and the science. Paul is great with what here seems to have been contractually obligated to say, “hey viewers, check out this shiny, cool stuff.” JJ is a great salesman for a keyboard you could buy for less than half that price. I guess BTF is somewhat new and interesting, but I agree that it is still solving for the wrong problem: the money problem, or how to make more money as a premier brand, not as a supplier like lianli and asus used to be back in the day selling generic cases and mobos. So, now, RGB and whatever 70-90 percent of the time is all these people do. Because flashing lights are “cool.”

I understand that this convenience comes at a cost, but having such raw power in a small form factor would save me a lot of time, making it well worth it. I also hope they add a 10 GB port to the Mini ITX, as I do a lot of work on a NAS. Additionally, I'm interested in the new 6K or 8K monitor for my color corrections.
