[00:03] front of us today, we have a laptop with the heart of a beast. Thanks to Snapdragon for sponsoring this video. Snapdragon sent me this Asus Zenbook A16, powered by the Snapdragon next to Elite Extreme. Our goal today is
[00:18] to see if we can find and get our first look at the brains that run the whole thing. Historically, Snapdragon processors power more than 3 billion devices around the globe. They are really good at packing a lot of power
[00:30] into really small packages. You're probably been watching this video right now with a Snapdragon processor without even knowing it. But what you have is probably not as good as this one. With the ceramic back panel off,
[00:42] surprisingly, the battery is super easy to swap out. With just five screws, and thanks to the super efficient Snapdragon next to Elite Extreme, this 70 watt hour battery can last for multiple days at a time. The stereo speakers have red
[00:55] rubber vibration isolators. I'll pop out the cooling fans. The Snapdragon next to Elite Extreme has 50% faster multi-core performance than the previous generation performance than the previous generation and can multitask across three 5K 60
[01:08] hertz monitors all at the same time. Thumbs up for that. The Asus Zenbook A16 gives us 1 terabyte of internal storage on an M.2 SSD. I'll pop out four more screws, all conveniently numbered. These hold down the heat sink and dual
[01:22] parallel heat pipes. There are some aluminum fins on the end that the two aren't here for hot air, though. We're Extreme. It's not often that we get to see the brains that run our mobile
[01:35] devices, but this guy has 80 tops of highly efficient AI processing and a 64-bit neural processing unit with a built-in GPU capable of ray tracing, all in the space of a thumbnail. It's a whole generational leap over the last
[01:51] generation, and your lucky eyeballs are the first to see it right here in all of the first to see it right here in all of its glory.
