hey folks Robbie Payne with chrome unbox
0:10
coming at you today actually from asus's
0:12
booth at CES in the Trump Tower and we
0:14
want to kind of put a couple things to
0:16
rest as far as the differences and the
0:18
models that uh you're seeing actually in
0:20
retail outlets and in stores right now
0:22
so we have this device that we got a
0:23
hold of at Best Buy uh there's a couple
0:25
people saying that we actually got it at
0:26
New Egg this did come from Best Buy a
0:28
few days before the Embargo was lifted
0:30
did on January 5th we paid $499 for this
0:33
device and it is in fact uh the Pentium
0:37
version of this device there will be and
0:39
is a core M3 and a core M7 model coming
0:43
and so we wanted to kind of show you
0:44
side by side so that we could kind of
0:47
put some of these things to rest and let
0:50
you all know that there are multiple
0:51
models now speaking with some Asus reps
0:54
uh they made it pretty clear that there
0:55
are some different channels where these
0:56
Chromebooks actually get served and so
0:58
there's retail channels and then there's
1:00
uh in internal channels and so Best Buy
1:02
is free to kind of do what they want to
1:04
with the price and so if they want to
1:05
sell a Pentium version for $4.99 they're
1:07
they're kind of free to do that if they
1:09
choose to and so that kind of seems what
1:10
they're doing actually right now so we
1:13
want to show you um and if if Joe can
1:16
kind of come in here I want to show you
1:17
a couple
1:18
things core M3 clearly marked This Is
1:22
Ours from Best Buy Pentium they're both
1:24
skylike but this is the Pentium we also
1:27
have uh the system running up here on
1:29
top where you can actually see core M3
1:33
on this one and over here okay and over
1:36
on this one you can see we're looking at
1:38
the Pentium 44 4405 y so again kind of
1:43
to put some of those things to rest we
1:44
would just wanted to show you side by
1:46
side here's the one that's on the show
1:47
floor from Asus here's the one that we
1:49
purchased from Best Buy and so those
1:52
things are still for sale uh B&H and New
1:54
Egg for $4.99 have the core M3 4 gigs of
1:59
RAM 30 or 64 gigs I'm sorry of internal
2:01
storage the one at Best Buy is a Pentium
2:04
it is 4 gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of
2:07
internal storage and the last thing that
2:08
we want to show you is running an octane
2:10
Benchmark both of these are in guest
2:12
mode core M3 is scoring around 212 you
2:15
can probably expect to see somewhere
2:16
around 22,000 with this one pennium
2:19
fares just fine it runs just fine but
2:21
it's getting around 15,000 so you're
2:23
going to see better performance and more
2:24
storage from the one that you can get uh
2:27
over at B&H and or New Egg and likely at
2:30
Amazon and those kind of retailers
2:32
coming up shortly and keep your eye out
2:35
because there might be an M7 model
2:37
starting to float around pretty soon uh
2:39
with up to 8 gigs of RAM as well so um
2:41
anyway we just wanted to clear some of
2:42
those things up why we're here why we're
2:44
here with Asus and as we find out any
2:45
more details about why it is Best Buy
2:47
using the pricing structure they are
2:49
we'll be sure to let you know and until
2:50
