1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,189
a couple years ago when Vidya started pushing their max-q line of GPUs we saw

2
00:00:04,650 --> 00:00:10,980
some pretty funktastic designs from Acer

3
00:00:08,189 --> 00:00:15,660
and ASUS that like they were fun to look at I enjoyed reviewing them but you

4
00:00:13,559 --> 00:00:21,810
probably don't want to buy it although now after a couple years of trying

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,750
they're getting damn good so let's see

6
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:29,429
Acer's most recent one the Trident 300 which is apparently you know she's thin

7
00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:36,809
she's small very light but it has a 20 70 in it damn let's do it I actually

8
00:00:32,550 --> 00:00:38,850
have not seen this laptop at all yet

9
00:00:36,809 --> 00:00:42,719
geez they were really not screwing around with the tape here by the way

10
00:00:40,649 --> 00:00:46,469
this is a pre-production unit I think that this is final retail packaging but

11
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:50,730
I could be wrong it might just be like a normal cardboard box inside here we'll

12
00:00:48,270 --> 00:01:01,260
see what do you want me to just like hold it here and pull out sure sure

13
00:00:58,789 --> 00:01:05,309
as always let's first look at the power brick to give ourselves an idea of just

14
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:12,150
how much power the things going to draw I imagine this one's going to be quite a

15
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:14,460
bit although it's actually not super

16
00:01:12,150 --> 00:01:19,979
heavy for gaming laptops let's see here but 230 watts that's actually like quite

17
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:24,030
up there you've also been nice enough to write Pilar trading 300 on it it's

18
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:29,009
really annoying when we open up like several laptops and then you have no clue which one had which power adapter

19
00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:32,070
anyway own to the main attraction here the way that the predator logo looks

20
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,250
it's just really cool are you guys able to see that in like the overhead oh yeah

21
00:01:34,650 --> 00:01:41,100
that's sick anyway I wonder if there's like what's

22
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,100
that called I'm the like little refract you thing where like traps different

23
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:49,500
thing use of light and I'm rubberband kind of like soap anyway sorry that I'm

24
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:53,490
just admiring logos here but this one also is really cool I don't know if you

25
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,469
guys can see how it's like 3d or if it lights up that'd be sick well is there

26
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:59,759
anything besides a laptop in here no it

27
00:01:58,469 --> 00:02:04,300
probably would be like warnings or warranty info or whatever in the

28
00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:13,070
production version but whatever look that was not as graceful as it is

29
00:02:09,979 --> 00:02:16,510
quite like given you know that has a 27

30
00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:20,390
t in it so it's 4.6 pounds which is

31
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:23,120
slightly heavier than like the XPS 15

32
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:29,330
here which is 4.2 just to give you a bit of context looking at the i/o though we

33
00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:31,720
have USB type-c and I think it has

34
00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:38,900
charging on it I'm not entirely sure those have USB a HDMI mini DisplayPort

35
00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:41,420
and then on the other side we have two

36
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:44,959
more Taipei's Ethernet and headphones I actually my favorite part here is just

37
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,650
having the dedicated Ethernet port I don't know that's going away on gaming

38
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,020
laptops lately it seems and for Kimmy you just kind of need it well let's get

39
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:58,820
into it here can open it with one hand no the screens definitely a bit on the

40
00:02:56,540 --> 00:03:03,470
flimsy side it doesn't really matter but it doesn't measure up to like an actual

41
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:09,709
ultrabook that said the actual chassis feels very stiff yeah that's one thing

42
00:03:06,230 --> 00:03:11,900
where on some of a sirs less recent

43
00:03:09,709 --> 00:03:15,739
machines they had especially kind of raid around here you could really flex

44
00:03:14,030 --> 00:03:20,450
the chassis whereas right now it feels like I'm flexing the table more than the

45
00:03:18,019 --> 00:03:26,150
laptop overall though the feel of this machine is just very good just like you

46
00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:30,140
will feel very good with private Internet access wow that was one of the

47
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:33,470
bad ones we're keeping it though with BIA you can access services and websites

48
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:37,550
as though you're in a different country it encrypts all of your Internet traffic

49
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,780
and use the safe protected IP you connect up to five devices at once and

50
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:46,160
has clients for Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux trip' I a risk free with

51
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:50,239
their 30-day money-back guarantee at the link below this is something that might

52
00:03:47,780 --> 00:03:53,360
seem pretty dumb but I really appreciate that they have just a standard power

53
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,320
connector here there's nothing more annoying when you just lose the end to a

54
00:03:55,580 --> 00:04:02,390
power cord and you can't just put in a normal one doesn't really matter but

55
00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:07,010
it's just nice to see anyway should we wait where's the power oh I thought that

56
00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:11,420
this right here was the power button but it's turbo are you able to save had I'm

57
00:04:09,709 --> 00:04:16,040
guessing that's the make it loud button let's take a look at what the specs are

58
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:21,860
here we have up to a 10th Gen Intel Core i7 so

59
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,960
so 1:07 50h which is six cores up to

60
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:29,660
five gigahertz pretty awesome for gaming if it can stay cool of course up to

61
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,120
NVIDIA GeForce r-tx 2070 max-q

62
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:37,880
we have a 240 hertz three millisecond Full HD IPS display and fourth gen

63
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,450
AeroBlade 3d technology the first thing that I want to do is just press this

64
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:46,670
turbo button yep that's the vacuum cleaner setting

65
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:53,090
for sure although it actually isn't as bad as I was expecting at first it's

66
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:57,230
loud for sure but it doesn't have to

67
00:04:53,090 --> 00:04:59,210
like that some are older your laptop's

68
00:04:57,230 --> 00:05:03,620
had I feel like this is the kind of thing that when you have headphones on

69
00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:07,700
it just immediately gets drowned out by whatever you're listening to sure well

70
00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:14,950
we get some games installs they have some 3d audio examples here that I want

71
00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:18,020
to take a look at well yeah I can see

72
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:20,690
why they had raid on the desktop they're

73
00:05:18,020 --> 00:05:24,560
an example for the DTS X audio because that actually sounds friggin awesome

74
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,190
like their last ones had Dolby Atmos and this might actually have better

75
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:34,460
separation of the sounds it's pretty crazy what they can do now that said if

76
00:05:32,990 --> 00:05:38,720
we turn on turbo so it's an actual simulation of what it'll sound like when

77
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,070
you're gaming much less impressive just put on headphones actually do they have

78
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,960
oh they don't I really liked how long some of a sirs more recent laptops that

79
00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:52,460
had a little spot for your mouse dongle to go is like a USB type a that was just

80
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:56,660
a bit recessed so you just kind of got to chuck this guy in there and just

81
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,720
never worry about it again that said this is fine there's enough type-a ports

82
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:06,800
on here that you don't really have to worry about it they've also been nice and not put the Ethernet cable on the

83
00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:10,970
right side on the left here it's going to be just way better for using your

84
00:06:08,930 --> 00:06:16,670
mouse at the same time oh there we go 240 Hertz is just so sick as well those

85
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:20,150
things were like very few people besides eSports professionals are going to

86
00:06:18,530 --> 00:06:24,590
actually need it but it's just so awesome to have that's what else do we

87
00:06:22,460 --> 00:06:29,160
have here how much RAM is in this 32 gigabytes not bad I actually found out

88
00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:34,290
the other day that just like doing mine job uses more than 16 gigs of gram I was

89
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:41,400
pretty shocked all right let's see if this laptop can play a portal to well

90
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,750
240 Hertz is just so great it's the sort

91
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:47,370
of thing we're like I want to turn 90 degrees right did it anyway that's

92
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:52,640
really enough of that unsurprisingly it plays Portal 2 great now although we

93
00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:56,820
can't show you performance data we can just take it apart and find out how good

94
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,270
it's probably gonna be anyway because sometimes your eyeballs work just as

95
00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:04,530
well this looks like it should be pretty easy just a couple of screws and I'm

96
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:07,650
guessing it's gonna come right apart i wonderful get bonus points for using the

97
00:07:06,090 --> 00:07:12,480
same screw in all of these I always really like to see that because then you just don't have to worry about where

98
00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:16,980
they go back in also it's so bad when like you're a noob taking apart a laptop

99
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:19,980
and you accidentally put the longer screw when the shorter screws thing and

100
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:25,980
it comes through the top of your like keyboard or something I'd like to say I

101
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:29,940
haven't done that before nice yeah all the exact same screw perfect it's

102
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:35,070
plastic but at the same time it does feel pretty good alright let's see here

103
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,380
so we have a 50 7.3 watt hour battery

104
00:07:35,070 --> 00:07:42,570
that's not great for something with this much performance really I would guess

105
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:45,900
with what an i7 at 6 cores up to 5

106
00:07:42,570 --> 00:07:48,750
gigahertz and 27 D you're going to be

107
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:55,880
getting 4-5 hours of battery life maybe yeah they say up to 6 hours based off of

108
00:07:52,050 --> 00:07:58,320
mobile mark and video playback tests so

109
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:02,040
you might be able to get that you might have to turn down the refresh rate of

110
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:05,880
display I'm not entirely sure as far as the cooling system goes though they

111
00:08:03,330 --> 00:08:12,600
don't have a lot of peeps but the ones that they do are big we have one two

112
00:08:08,010 --> 00:08:15,360
three four heat pipes and four heat

113
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:20,790
sinks and some big old fans that are metal that ones metal this one plastic

114
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:26,190
yeah interesting bill stuff super easy upgrading of the RAM just two sodium's

115
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:30,240
slots right there storage we have two one terabyte and the two SSDs that's

116
00:08:28,890 --> 00:08:34,650
actually sick they're probably in raid and we also have is this a hard drive

117
00:08:32,910 --> 00:08:41,400
bay I can't tell so there's a spot right here for another m2 SSD for three of

118
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:42,430
them but I can't tell if there's a way

119
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:48,490
to add in a why is there just a space there that's weird I can't figure out if there's

120
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:52,029
supposed to be a SATA SSD here or if you're supposed to get a larger battery

121
00:08:50,350 --> 00:08:55,029
that comes all the way over in the production unit either way the upgrade

122
00:08:53,950 --> 00:09:00,550
ability on this thing is gonna be absolutely fantastic it looks like that

123
00:08:57,070 --> 00:09:01,540
there's loads of heatsink here for the

124
00:09:00,550 --> 00:09:05,380
VR Rams I imagine this thing's gonna perform really well anyway that's about it

125
00:09:05,050 --> 00:09:12,399
really there's not a whole lot else to say it seems like a pretty great laptop as far

126
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,600
as like if you need the performance of that 20 70 it's gonna be pretty good you

127
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:21,070
also get like I didn't check this out really but the keyboard seems good

128
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,970
trackpad seems good it's not a lot to fault it on let's see what the price is

129
00:09:22,779 --> 00:09:29,770
actually that might be a spot to folt it okay so it's starting at 1,300 bucks

130
00:09:27,580 --> 00:09:37,450
that's actually not too bad that's for the i-5 and the 1650 version so I

131
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:38,830
probably would not buy the starting one

132
00:09:37,450 --> 00:09:43,089
like if you're buying something that's this opie I'd probably go for at least

133
00:09:40,839 --> 00:09:45,910
like the 2060 2070 if you're going for something that's a bit cheaper I'd go

134
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:49,959
for something more powerful and like their helios lineup which they also just

135
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:54,610
released some new ones of good anyway that's about it I like it overall it

136
00:09:53,470 --> 00:10:01,980
seems like quite a good one so yeah hit like get subscribed have an

137
00:09:58,420 --> 00:10:01,980
excellent day so long
