00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.680
over the last couple years a certain company and by a certain company i mean

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.960
apple have been diluting the pro moniker

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:13.840
to basically mean the expensive consumer

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:18.320
one but that changes today with the acer concept d7 easel pro a desktop

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.439
replacement designed for professionals and certified by brands like adobe

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:25.519
altair autodesk and ansys acer didn't

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:28.640
get super far into the alphabet just like we won't get super far into this

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.599
video without mentioning that our ces 2020 coverage is brought to you by

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.520
pulseway the software that lets you remotely monitor manage and control all

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:39.280
of your Windows mac and Linux machines from one app create your free account

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:48.640
and get 20 off their teams plan at the link below

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.320
if you don't look too closely at the easel pro you might be fooled in

00:00:52.399 --> 00:01:00.640
thinking that it's a pretty standard laptop just a bit on the bulky side with

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:01.440
fairly high build quality and oh what is

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.080
this there's something else

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:14.799
we have seen a hinge kind of like this from acer before that had a similar

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:20.320
concept on the trident 900 but that included these bulky arms on the side

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:24.080
that made an already very non-portable laptop even less on-the-go friendly but

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.240
here they have incorporated all of the things you could do with big hinge into

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.439
just this small elegant one on the back

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.840
with this we get five usage modes standard like

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:40.560
it is right now sharing for easier

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:43.680
sharing on a table floating which is you know somewhere in

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:46.960
the middle brings the display a little bit closer to you i actually like that

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.119
one quite a bit pad for when you're using the stylus and

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.920
finally display for when you want to look at the back of the

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:58.560
display now you might be thinking that designing a hinge such as this one is

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:02.000
pretty simple like you know it's just a hinge

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:06.880
well there's a reason that acer's first try looked like a laptop with water

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:08.479
wings each hinge and torsional spring in

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:12.480
here had to have its own aluminum injection mold to make sure the torque

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:17.599
was just right at every point during travel of course a fancy hinge on its

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:23.680
own does not make this a professional device here we have a 15.6 inch 4k

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.160
display that covers 100 of the adobe RGB

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:31.440
spectrum has a brightness of 400 nits and each panel is verified by pantone to

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.920
be within a delta e of under two the thing that really sets the easel pro

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:40.560
apart from say the macbook pro though is the excellent pen support provided by

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:45.200
the wacom emr or electromagnetic resonance pen basically you get a

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.440
traditional ips display and then on top of that is qualcomm's emr sensors that

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:53.599
are lined up and down the screen to create a very small electromagnetic

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:57.519
field that extends roughly five millimeters or so up from the sensors

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:00.959
within the pen is a small coil of wire that is basically turned into an

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.800
electromagnet that is picked up by the sensors on here completely removing the

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.000
need for the pen to be battery powered the key advantage of the emr pen is that

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.480
it's very easy for the display to discern between touch inputs and pen

00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:17.840
inputs making excellent for tasks such as drawing and writing as for the actual

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.920
performance of the pen i can't really say this is a pretty early sample and

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.920
some of the apps are not working great but some of them are

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:29.599
pretty good fortunately it does behave well in paint 3d and responsiveness is

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:35.120
excellent many of you might be thinking though apple does have a pro device that

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.120
has excellent pen support the ipad pro which is true and really 120 hertz

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:44.319
refresh rate on the ipad pro will deliver a slightly superior experience

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.680
if all you want to do is draw baby yodas if you're a true professional though

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:52.560
you'll need professional applications and the power to run them and do we ever

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.239
have the power to run them here i think the only solid information that i

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.599
have is that i'll be using Intel xeon processors and NVIDIA rtx quadro

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.560
graphics but i think it'll be fair to guess we'll be getting eight or more

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:07.760
processing cores and an rtx 4000 on the

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.040
non-pro version and an rtx 5000 on the

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:13.599
pro model the most impressive part though is that

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:19.199
under full load the easel pro according to acer should be under 40 decibels of

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:23.199
volume there's also ecc memory and up to two terabytes of storage the concept d7

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:27.040
comes with an assortment of i o that you can guess is the kind of stuff that

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:31.520
professionals might actually want we've got two thunderbolts type a

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:36.720
i believe that there's full size HDMI and displayport very nice

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:41.680
Ethernet and i think there's an sd card reader on here maybe basically with all

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:47.280
this you'll just be saying bye to the dongle life what you can say bye to

00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:49.680
though is a scratched laptop apparently

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:54.240
according to acer the concept d7 is finished with a metal arc oxidization

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.360
basically a ceramic-like coating that should be more resilient to scratches

00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.800
and discoloration than traditional anodization

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:05.120
of course if you're looking to get all of this powerful pronus

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:11.840
it's it's gonna cost you with the concept d7 easel starting at 26.99 and

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.240
the easel pro starting at 30.99 with

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:19.039
expected availability around march or so so as a little bonus at the end and by

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:22.720
that i mean a bonus for me this is the new acer thronos acer decided to remove

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:26.560
the you know the big hydraulic lifting ARM

00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:31.759
saying that it was a bit overkill so in this version we get

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:35.919
a more normal door with hydraulic assistance for positioning the monitors

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:41.199
like so what i really like though is that they have included a massage chair

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.280
oh i'm not sure if all of this is worth

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.759
almost fourteen thousand dollars that does include these three monitors but

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:54.800
not the pc in the back but it does feel good though this is this is

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:58.880
pretty sick and what also feels pretty good is getting Linus to tell you about

00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.880
pulse way don't mind me i'm just taking my lunch

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:07.120
because i'm using pulseway the real-time remote monitoring and management

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.919
software that you need in your life from a single app

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:14.080
pulse way by the way that's that's the app we're talking about you can scan

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.759
install update your systems on the go by sending commands from your mobile device

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:23.120
it's compatible with mac Windows and of course Linux and you can even deploy

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:26.639
custom scripts so your it tasks happen automatically so what are you guys

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.479
