Google Glass Hands On! (ASUS M51AC $900 Desktop PC Unboxing)

Updated: August 12, 2013

Everyday I get at least 20 emails from people asking me about system specs and if this configuration or another is a good solution for them.

The most commonly asked question is regarding a $500.00 gaming system, usually followed by those who want a $1000.00 system, but rarely do I get requests for over the top systems as those are out of the budget of many gamers.

Enter the M51AC from ASUS, which is a complete gaming system, pre-built and for sale off-the-shelf fully functional with the OS installed as well as all the drivers and anything else system related so you can just plug one in and start gaming.

Pricing & Various Models

We were able to get a hold of the ASUS M51AC-US015S which boasts a ton of features and very decent specs for a mid level gaming solution. This time we actually did something a bit different than our standard unboxing as we take you through the entire thing as seen through the eyes of Google Glass.

This is really rather cool and my friends from TLD had done something similar on their channel and thought my viewers might like to see an unboxing in that format, so we went ahead and unboxed the entire ASUS system via the Google Glass. ASUS really wants to get some exposure on these new systems and what better way than something different.

The case is very simple and straightforward in its design and offers dual USB 3.0, as well as 2.0 connections and there are also headphone and mic inputs all on the front side for easy access. There is also a multi-card reader that supports almost every format of card media behind the top panel in the front of the case.

Featuring an ASUS Micro-ATX mobo, Intel Core i7-4770-Non K Edition CPU with an air cooler, 8GB of DDR3 1600 MHz memory, a 2 TB SATA 3 hard drive, 8X Blu-ray/DVD-R combo drive, a GTX 650 1GB video card and a very balanced rear I/O located on the back of the case.

There is more to this, but that will be our next article and video, how does the machine perform. Thanks for reading Tech Of Tomorrow my peeps. So tell us what you think in the comments below what you think of both the first look of the new ASUS M51AC-US015S and how do you like the unboxing through the Google Glass.

Looks like a great little system for the people who are not 100% on building their own system. The fact it has a GTX 650 and is under $1000 is also quite refreshing.

  You do know that a GTX 650 is pretty bad, right?
  - Erik Hiebert
    
    Yeah but for people who buy a premade system if you look at 90% of the computers on Newegg or other similar retailers even $800 PCs will have like a GT 630 with a FX-6100 or something like that. Horrible prices esp from ibuypower
- Brandon
  
  The 650 is a cheap card. For gaming I would have went with an i5 processor and with the money you save spend on a 760.

its a little over priced but a good pre built you could probably build this with at around 600 or even less
- Erik Hiebert
  
  $330 cpu, $80 motherboard, $50 case, $60 ram, $120 gpu, $55 power supply, $100 windows (it comes with it, thats why im including it in price)… thats almost $800 building it yourself.

and wow the google glass has a good vid cam

Seen it and looking forward to the internal details overview and overall performance gaming testing on the product.

** I would like to see if you can provide some feedback on the following gaming system: ASUS CM6870-US011S, is this a great low end; mid range or high end gaming system??? plus what type of gaming is it intended for.
- Tyler
  
  Hello my personal opinion is that this could be good for some gaming, but is designed as a business/editing computer because of the low end graphics card. The big companies try to impress people with things like i7 and 16gigs of ram rather than graphics or power supplies. It would do okay on medium setting in most games. If you want a pre-built gaming system in that price range i would recommend a i5 with 8 gigs of ram 1 TB HDD and the best graphics card that is available in you price range. some guesses are Nividia Gtx 760 or 670, or comparable speced amd cards.

about $700-750 worth of parts. my buddy paid 1400 bones for a bundle less powerful. Gotta make profit though. google glass video looks better than I thought.

its funny how you say all the time “you guys can see, right?”

well we couldn’t see anything clear with the google glasses even in HD.

simple because as i said GG sucks big time, no lighting, bad focus, and the lens is pointing where your right eyebrow is! not where you eyes are actually looking!

also the sound recording is terrible in GG, (i know you didnt use that sound in this video)

so please Elric stick to the great traditional filming and sound recording we had for so many videos now

a 650 is nothing. if it was a gaming system, it would be much better to have a i5 4570 or whatever it is and a 760
- Brandon
  
  I would go with a 4670k for only a tad bit more money then the i5 4570 but you get over clocking abilities and you’d stll have money left over for a 760.
Erik Hiebert

Not much of a gaming machine, I’d consider this more of an editing rig with a 4770 and a GTX 650 just for the CUDA cores to accelerate rendering. A 4670 and a GTX 660 would be in the same price range and more suited for gaming
