1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,399
we're here with Acer at CES 2024 to check out just a whole whack of laptops

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,559
and even a monitor we're just going to throw them all straight at your face

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,119
just like this laptop right here is throwing 3D stuff straight at my face it

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,240
is so cool this is the Aspire 3d5

5
00:00:16,119 --> 00:00:21,880
spatial Labs Edition we did see spatial

6
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:25,760
Labs stuff last year but it had a couple of problems the main one being uh even

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:30,160
if you wanted it the laptop started at like 4 grand you probably were not going

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,040
to be getting it well now this thing here starts at

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,680
$13.99 and the amount that it has improved over last year is incredible

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:43,760
cuz like I'm currently enjoying watching this and the even more impressive part

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:49,079
is that this right here is not a 3D video so we can just exit out of this

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:55,800
I've just opened up crab Brave and by hitting alt G it does some AI magic and

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,239
just turns it into a 3D image now this

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,559
isn't new for this year per se but they've been training the AI models for

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,439
the past year and the Improvement is incredible because like this scene right

16
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,400
here is really great where like this Palm actually looks like it's way out in

17
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:15,880
front of all of the crabs like the fact that they were able to do this on the

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,680
fly in real time and turn it into 3D of this quality I am quite impressed now of

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:24,320
course if you do have a 3D model or a 3D

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:29,520
program it works really great and that as it did before but I am just so

21
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:34,079
impressed at the Improvement in this cuz if I am honest when I looked at these

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:39,479
last year they just kind of made me sick and this is not doing that I am actually

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,040
quite stoked at how much better this is especially for how much cheaper it is

24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,840
for those of you that don't remember from CES last year and fair enough this

25
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:53,880
spatial Labs technology works so that you don't have to use glasses by having

26
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,520
a 4K panel but when you enable 3D it

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:01,240
splits it and halves the resolution horizontally so half of those pixels are

28
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:05,159
being sent to to your left eye and half are being sent to the right it is doing

29
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:09,640
that by aiming them through a lenticular lens and it is tracking where exactly

30
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:14,879
your eyes are using cameras right here to make sure that like this tree and

31
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,680
stuff are going correctly into this eye and this eye to give you that depth of

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,480
field and it's actually really quite neat just how well they've done it as

33
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:27,879
for the computer itself we can see we have 3.5m headphone jack type A on the

34
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:34,239
other side wow there's actually a lot of I/O on this Thunderbolt 4 two more type

35
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:36,400
A's HDMI and a fullsize Ethernet port

36
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:42,000
dang and on the inside you get up to an i7

37
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:45,080
13620 H 32 GB of RAM and a

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,680
57w battery now if we give this a little

39
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,400
bit of a push test it's not bad it's not

40
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:58,159
bad I've seen better I have definitely seen worse and the keyboard and trackpad

41
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,159
are both pretty okay for the price

42
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:04,640
point I would say say that they're not going to hinder you you will be able to

43
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:11,480
get up to full speed and the trackpad is decent enough but they aren't like

44
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:14,799
standouts like this display is what is a

45
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:18,360
real standout though is this Aspire go

46
00:03:14,799 --> 00:03:21,799
14 this is the Acer Aspire go 14 there

47
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,640
is also a 15in version and I am amazed

48
00:03:21,799 --> 00:03:29,920
that they were able to get a laptop of this quality down to

49
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,040
$250 starting price like if we looked at

50
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:38,200
this here we we can give it a bit of a bit of a push it's you know it's not the

51
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:45,080
best built laptop in the world and we do not expect that at all but holy crap

52
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,159
compared to the other $250 just pieces

53
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:54,319
of actual e-waist that I have seen before this is actually incredible so

54
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,959
the standouts here first of all 14-in 16

55
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:01,159
by10 display starting at

56
00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:04,519
$250 processor nothing incredible we

57
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:07,920
have is an Intel n100 that's four cores

58
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:10,000
four threads and a 6 wat TDP so it's not

59
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:15,640
going to be too quick but given that laptops at this price point in the past

60
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,799
have had like two core seller on it's

61
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:23,000
going to be a whole world of difference like you are not going to be doing fluid

62
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:28,280
simulations on this thing but you will be able to watch YouTube videos at full

63
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,080
resolution and not have it be slow the keyboard also is just perfectly

64
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:38,520
functional there's nothing wrong about it which is quite shocking given just

65
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:44,039
how inexpensive this thing is I'm used to key caps at this price point being

66
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:48,280
just smaller than a normal size key caps they'll cheap out in that way and like

67
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:54,840
if we look at this the key stability I have seen ,000 laptops or in the case of

68
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Razer $2,500 laptops that have worse

69
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:02,759
Keys than this thanks to be quiet! for sponsoring a CES 2024 coverage if you're

they've been in the industry for more than 20 years and specialize in making

74
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,120
high quality parts that are nearly inaudible this year at CES they're

75
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,199
showcasing their new white PC case as white fans and even white hard drive

76
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:30,960
cages step into the world of Silent Computing with be quiet! at the link down

77
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,600
below one thing isn't sure about is just how upgradeable this thing is and one

78
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:42,280
thing that's unfortunate is that at that $250 price point you are only getting 4

79
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:45,120
GB of RAM so let's see if you can change

80
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:50,199
that and after 10 Phillips head screws I can say unfortunately you cannot the RAM

81
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,919
is soldered down right here so you will have to shill out for something like the

82
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:58,160
8 GB of RAM model we've done a little bit more digging and it appears that the

83
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:02,000
storage that comes with it is also soldered down which is a little little

84
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,440
bit strange so there's flash on here somewhere I guess on the other side of

85
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:11,240
the board but fortunately you can upgrade it right here so we have a Gen 4

86
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,560
SSD slot and I would strongly recommend

87
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:19,240
looking to upgrade that pretty soon after you get one of these also in here

88
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:24,599
we have a 53w hour battery and given this CPU only draws 6 wats I imagine

89
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,919
that you're going to be able to get pretty decent battery life out of this

90
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:34,560
thing final thing in here Wi-Fi card that is a aable nice moving back to it

91
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:41,120
assembled the I/O that we have is 3.5 mm headphone jack fullsize USB type A or on

92
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:48,880
the other side another fullsize USB type a HDMI and USB type c up next we have

93
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:51,560
the Swift go 14 and this is sort of a

94
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:56,879
choose how good it is kind of laptop you can have the $750 version which is going

95
00:06:54,280 --> 00:07:02,840
to be not particularly fast comes with a 1200 piece 60 HZ panel that's only got

96
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:10,479
srgb coverage or you can go all the way up to a 90 HZ 2.8k overed panel that

97
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:13,240
looks just absolutely fantastic those

98
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:18,400
viewing angles are very good is it touch a darn it's not touch this comes with up

99
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,720
to 32 GB of memory and AER are really

100
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,720
proud about their media touchpads so if

101
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:27,639
we swipe across this now we have our

102
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:32,680
volume controls pause play in the center we can go forwards backwards mute all

103
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,520
the stuff that you know you have hard buttons for up here uh I don't really

104
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:42,000
know how useful this is but at the same time it's it's neat it's neat I'll give

105
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:47,159
them that with the Swift go Acer are continuing their trend of just having

106
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:53,360
fantastic iio on their laptops this has a Micro SD card reader 3.5 mm headphone

107
00:07:50,599 --> 00:07:59,319
microphone combo Jack fulls sizee USB type A or on the other side two

108
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:02,080
Thunderbolt fors HDMI 2.1 and another

109
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:06,840
USB type A so you can just plug all the things into this it's actually really

110
00:08:04,039 --> 00:08:12,120
sick the keyboard on the Swift go1 14 is pretty decent I would give it maybe a B+

111
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,520
same sort of thing I don't hate it but at the same time there's nothing

112
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:21,479
particularly special about it although if we go over to the Swift go 16 it's

113
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,919
largely the same compared to the 14 but

114
00:08:21,479 --> 00:08:30,080
we don't get that media touchpad and we also don't get a keyboard that I enjoy

115
00:08:27,159 --> 00:08:35,039
uh if we look at this right here we have a nice large keyboard and we do have a

116
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:42,440
numpad some people love that but the chassis in it becoming a bit larger has

117
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,920
become pretty soft right here and uh you

118
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,800
can really tell so the keys on the left

119
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,160
side pretty good keys on the right side pretty good and the keys in the middle

120
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:56,519
here right where your right hand is are uh not nearly as good they're very mushy

121
00:08:54,200 --> 00:09:00,600
cuz the whole chassis is flexing we won't dwell on the Swift go 16 too long

122
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:06,760
then because instead I want to talk about the spicy Swift this right here is

123
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:09,120
the Swift x14 and this thing is the very

124
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,800
fancy one the keyboard is a definite improvement from the other ones that we

125
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:19,399
have seen and although I don't think it gets into the A's I'm going to give it a

126
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:21,839
B+ plus cuz I actually am kind of an oh

127
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:27,440
no I think it gets an A minus this is actually quite a well-built machine and

128
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:33,800
the internals are even more better this thing has up to an RTX

129
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:36,160
4070 in a laptop of this size so that

130
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:42,079
right there would have 60 watts plus 15 watts Dynamic boost just for the GPU and

131
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:47,680
the display options on this are awesome with having up to a 2.8k OLED at 120 HZ

132
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:53,079
and this has that variable refresh rate technology so it can go down to 48 HZ in

133
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,760
order to save you a little bit of battery we also have up to an Intel Core

134
00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:03,040
Ultra 9 185h so this thing right here even

135
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:05,680
though it's only 3.42 lbs is actually

136
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:11,800
going to be able to do some very serious work or even gaming quite serious gaming

137
00:10:08,839 --> 00:10:19,079
I would say IO once again absolutely fantastic very similar to the Swift go4

138
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,880
love to see all of this and if you're looking for something like this with its

139
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:27,880
starting price of $1,400 which of course doesn't get you

140
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:32,839
all of this it's like a 4050 but it still is very very compelling moving

141
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:37,959
over to the gaming side of things Acer has released their new predicator Helios

142
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:42,839
neol line now it is quite similar to the Helios line that they had before but

143
00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:48,040
Acer have been really smart about the ways that they have costed down the

144
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:49,600
Helios line because honestly I don't

145
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:54,440
think you're going to care about the stuff that you're losing too much so

146
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:59,920
we're getting Zone RGB we have four zones instead of the per key RGB that we

147
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:05,360
have on the full-fledged Helios but uh whatever you don't get this little RGB

148
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:10,760
Predator logo right here I'm sure you're very torn up about that just like this

149
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,519
RGB light bar on the back oh no you

150
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:17,120
don't get it that's going to really affect your gaming performance I imagine

151
00:11:15,079 --> 00:11:22,079
also uh you have less configurability about the RGB on the Predator logo on

152
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:26,480
the back if you look right here this one right here is like a little bit nicer

153
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:31,600
but the stuff that actually matters performance has remained unchanged so if

154
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:36,440
we look right here they heat pipes this is not new for this year but it is

155
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:40,519
pretty cool to see that on the older models they have these rounded heat

156
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:46,600
pipes like you see on pretty much every single laptop which work well enough but

157
00:11:43,959 --> 00:11:50,600
what they have on their Helios line are these Square heat pipes so you can see

158
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:55,480
just how much more surface area you're going to have hitting the hot spots of

159
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:59,839
your computer and just getting that heat out of there by having this Square heat

160
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:04,120
pipe design instead of just just losing all of that area to the little rounded

161
00:12:01,959 --> 00:12:09,279
edges on the side as for the specs and pricing the Neo 16 starts at $14.99 the

162
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:17,440
Helios 16 is $18.99 Neo 18549 and the Helios 18

163
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:21,959
$2000 as for the exact specs I would say that you're going to have to just kind

164
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,880
of look at what each one is able to do

165
00:12:21,959 --> 00:12:33,120
at each price because there's just such a large range from a 4050 to a 4090 and

166
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,680
mini LED IPS panels you're just going to

167
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,600
have to look at each one when they actually release it in April at the

168
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:46,720
start I said we had a monitor and oh my God Acer has deliver this right here is

169
00:12:43,199 --> 00:12:52,320
the Predator Z series z57 and it is a

170
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:54,040
57in dud panel that's dual Ultra HD this

171
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:59,680
thing right here is like they took two 4K 32in panels and just crammed them

172
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:05,199
together and then gave gave it a big old curve and oh my God like it's actually

173
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:10,000
crazy when you just step up to this and you're right here pretty much your

174
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:15,199
entire field of view is occupied by this thing and holy crap does this look good

175
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:20,360
it's one of the most immersive gaming experiences that I have seen and I have

176
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:25,399
seen quite a few in my days the amount that I want to hook this thing up to

177
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:28,279
like a big old racing Sim holy crap that

178
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:33,800
would be amazing as for other specs 120 HZ refesh fresh rate 1 millisecond

179
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,959
response time 1,000 nits Peak brightness

180
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:41,000
so this right here has vesa 1,000 HDR

181
00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:42,839
support and holy crap I am just going to

182
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,199
have a bit of a look at this again and maybe even a bit of a game oh driving

183
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:52,560
simulator time here we go holy crap this thing is

184
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:57,240
