1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,580
old computer hardware doesn't slow down we've proven it multiple times so then

2
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,320
why does your old PC feel so much slower

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:14,880
than when you first got it the answer lies in the software and it's the same

4
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:20,939
reason that your phone feels slower as it ages each subsequent Windows update

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,640
adds features and bloat that can drag

6
00:00:20,939 --> 00:00:27,180
down performance so then well what do you have to run an old operating system

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:33,480
full of compatibility and security issues no there's a new kid on the Block

8
00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:35,520
its name is atlas OS and thanks to Acer

9
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:39,480
sponsoring this video to promote their recent earthion green initiatives we're

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:46,559
going to be taking it for a spin with some Hardware that is so obsolete that

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:49,160
we paid less for this entire box than

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:55,440
the cost of the included Windows license let's see if we can get this puppy

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,079
running like new spoiler we can and it

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,879
is super awesome our adventure begins with a bog standard obsolete Big Box

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,299
store PC we wanted something from Acer of course since keeping old electronics

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:12,799
out of the landfill was a huge motivation for them to sponsor this video and we settled on the Aspire

17
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:17,340
tc780. it's in that weird anti-goldylocks Zone it's too new to be

18
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:21,600
retro and too old to be current and most businesses would basically just pay a

19
00:01:19,619 --> 00:01:27,240
recycler to haul these things away by the pallet full which is good because it

20
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,939
means they go for cheap we paid 150

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,799
Canadian dollars or about 110 us and that included the keyboard and mouse

22
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,079
which weren't amazing but let's say we

23
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:41,939
could flip them for 10 bucks giving us a total of a hundred US dollars for our

24
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:47,040
Tower internally I don't know it's probably oh

25
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:50,600
seen better days Anthony you're fixed

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,600
for the dead fan is still on here

27
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,439
spoiler spoiler we have to fix a dead fan I'll get to that later one moment

28
00:01:54,659 --> 00:02:03,479
please overall nothing a can of dust off can't fix and

29
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:05,759
she powers on 4 pin CPU power 24-pin

30
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:10,920
motherboard connector oh front USB 3. that's nice to see and four pin for our

31
00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:15,180
CPU fan also standard matx motherboard and ATX power supply this is going to

32
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:21,900
make the process of refurbishing this thing a lot easier well isn't that just

33
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:27,900
fantastic wow does this even have m.2 support Anthony it does

34
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,660
what that's awesome 7th gen had m.2

35
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:35,160
support yeah oh I guess this is as good a time as any to talk about the CPU in

36
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:40,080
here it's a core i5 7400 so it's four cores four threads 3.5 gigahertz Max

37
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:44,700
boost it was kind of the seventh gen's bang for the buck CPU with higher core

38
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:49,860
clocks than its predecessors but at the same cost Not only was it less expensive

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:55,260
but compared to higher end chips it had a 65 watt TDP and could easily be cooled

40
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,620
with low cost heatsinks making it a great choice for a budget system for

41
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:04,340
that reason we're not actually going to replace this almost Intel stock cooler

42
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:04,340
in here we're just gonna

43
00:03:05,420 --> 00:03:12,360
destroy our lungs by wiping it down and we're going to put

44
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:16,200
a new fan on it I wonder how many people worth of dead skin cells I've inhaled

45
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:21,300
over the years of doing this it's a really uncomfortable thoughts what's not

46
00:03:17,940 --> 00:03:22,980
uncomfortable is that 400 class core i5s

47
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:27,780
have long been considered excellent value for gaming with the more recent 12

48
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:33,060
400 and 13 400 being solid contenders for entry and mid-range Gamers for us

49
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:36,840
though there is absolutely no need whatsoever to change anything in here

50
00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:40,980
we're just going to get some zip ties put this just random fan we found it

51
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,220
happens to be in Knoxville but yours doesn't have to be put this random fan

52
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,700
in here and we should be Off to the Races look at this I found an 80

53
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,840
millimeter fan kicking around and I don't even need to zip tie it anymore

54
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:56,580
totally lines up twice now we just plug this into the CPU

55
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,940
fan header and no need to change anything here in time you might find

56
00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:03,659
that multiplayer games are going to demand more cores but it's certainly

57
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,700
enough for a responsive desktop experience today and could even be

58
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,040
upcycled later into a Home Server solid

59
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:17,940
investment moving on our current RAM configuration

60
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,100
is a little suspect we've got a four gig

61
00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:27,360
stick and an eight gig stick for a total of 12 gigs which is a lot of RAM but not

62
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:33,300
ideal because we're not getting dual Channel and the speeds of these sticks

63
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,400
are mismatched at 2133 and 2400 Mega

64
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:39,720
transfers per second unfortunately the BIOS of this machine does not support

65
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:44,040
XMP or setting the RAM speeds manually so it will simply match the speed of the

66
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:49,259
slowest stick to ensure compatibility our best course of action then is to

67
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:51,900
pull out our four gig stick here see you

68
00:04:49,259 --> 00:04:57,840
later and replace it with another 8 gig similar speed dim time Tech these can be

69
00:04:55,500 --> 00:05:03,060
found online for about 20 bucks since their slower speed makes them not super

70
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:07,259
desirable now you could potentially flip that four gig stick to recoup a little

71
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,400
bit of your cost but I think it's probably worth more as a spare for

72
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:16,199
troubleshooting so I would probably hold on to it now let's power this up and for

73
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:22,080
a total of 30 bucks for a stick of RAM and a generic 80 millimeter fan we

74
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,180
should have 16 gigs four cores and a

75
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,139
working cooler there are still some things we need to do yes we're going to

76
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:33,120
do hard drives but first we're gonna do power supply now the

77
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:38,759
power supply that's in here is an fsp unit good brand rated for 300 watts

78
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:42,840
continuous which is probably fine too like this was a perfect fit for the

79
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:48,900
original hardware and probably perfectly reliable with the CPU's 65 watt TDP and

80
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:54,840
no GPU it probably never ran at more than 50 percent of its capacity but the

81
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:59,639
lack of PCIe power and the possibility that it's deteriorated over time to

82
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:04,139
become less efficient means we should probably replace it proactively if we

83
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:09,000
have space in our budget with that said don't throw it out you can still totally

84
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:14,460
use this thing as a hobbyist benchtop power supply if you're so inclined and

85
00:06:11,460 --> 00:06:17,220
personally I use what I call doorstop

86
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:22,440
power supplies for all kinds of things like just running fans for example to

87
00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:27,120
cool something outside of a computer like they're just very very useful one

88
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:31,680
nice thing about the old school ketchup and mustard style cables is that they're

89
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:35,520
color coded for voltage red is 5 volt yellow is 12 volt and black is ground so

90
00:06:34,139 --> 00:06:40,139
you can put whatever connectors you want on these things as long as you don't overload the rails which are

91
00:06:38,460 --> 00:06:44,880
conveniently labeled on the side and power whatever you want for a replacement we don't need something

92
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:48,539
super powerful we just want to make sure that we do our homework and get

93
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:54,139
something decent so we settled on this EVGA 400 watt unit that is a power

94
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:59,340
supply I mean I mean it doesn't really we're

95
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:04,259
not recommending the cheapest possible thing EVGA does stand behind their

96
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:08,220
products rip EVGA graphics cards which they still existed it doesn't have

97
00:07:05,940 --> 00:07:12,600
modular cables and you know ketchup and mustard make a triumphant return but

98
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:16,020
it's more than enough for what we're going to be doing this is actually an

99
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:20,580
older unit but as the lab ramps up their testing we're going to be building a database of the performance

100
00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:24,479
characteristics of every budget power supply so that whether you're refurbing

101
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:29,819
an old machine or building a new budget machine from scratch you can get

102
00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:32,340
something decent without overspending oh

103
00:07:29,819 --> 00:07:37,199
on that subject are water bottles on lttstore.com are all the same price

104
00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:41,280
regardless of capacity you can get any size you want without overspending now

105
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:48,180
while I pointed out earlier that our board supports m.2 drives we don't

106
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,639
necessarily need the fastest drive you

107
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:56,099
can get an inexpensive 500 gig SSD for about 40 bucks on sale or even a one

108
00:07:53,220 --> 00:08:00,840
terabyte for around sixty dollars ssds have gotten shockingly inexpensive

109
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:06,660
lately for us we're going with an old WD blue 250 gig and the main reason is that

110
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:08,639
you can pick these up for even cheaper

111
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:13,280
on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace thankfully Acer included mounts for two

112
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:18,780
and a half inch drives are they toolless nope all together now the correct number

113
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:23,759
of screws for a two and a half inch SSD is

114
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,080
one that's good enough right yeah she's

115
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:29,580
not going anywhere this is an extra screw now

116
00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:33,779
the place for an extra screw is not inside the chassis that's true that's

117
00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:38,099
true that's bad what I showed you just now in fact I'm gonna punish myself by

118
00:08:36,180 --> 00:08:43,140
making myself put in another drive for the SSD so add a data or say to data

119
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:46,880
there's gonna be a war in the comments tonight everyone typing it it's

120
00:08:45,899 --> 00:08:53,180
it's a data I can't tell which one it's a

121
00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:57,420
little late in the day we all just want to go home now there

122
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,740
are many gpus available on the second hand Market that would suit our needs

123
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:06,839
just fine we could go super low end here 1050 tis can be had for under a hundred

124
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:12,420
dollars but the bang for the buck of the 1660 TI is hard to argue with it should

125
00:09:09,959 --> 00:09:17,339
be able to gain at 1080p medium at least in this system and it fits within our

126
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:22,860
thermal power and space constraints these go for around 200 new that's a lot

127
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:26,820
but this is the E-Waste PC so realistically we would suggest picking

128
00:09:24,839 --> 00:09:33,000
up a secondhand one on eBay for anywhere from 100 to 150 US Dollars the 1660 TI

129
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:38,399
doesn't have av1 codec support but it'll accelerate h.264 and h.265 and has the

130
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:43,080
higher quality nvank encoder whatever value GPU you end up going with though

131
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:47,279
be aware that some require resizable bar to reach their full potential and older

132
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,240
systems like these don't always support it fortunately Acer still has the full

133
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:55,920
support side up for this desktop which is great and super important for helping

134
00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:01,740
looks like us extend their life spans step

135
00:09:57,260 --> 00:10:03,180
power oh and also this I guess why is

136
00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:07,440
this not clipping anymore did I break it

137
00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:14,880
did did you break it okay bro it was all working oh I bent it I bent it real good

138
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,940
nice plug the HDMI into that now

139
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,740
obviously this isn't gonna boot until we

140
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:25,320
configure our SSD with an operating system let's talk about that thankfully our

141
00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:28,860
system has USB 3 otherwise this process would be a little on the slow side we're

142
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:34,500
just going to fire up the media creation tool plug in a USB drive and while this

143
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:39,420
is Imaging Acer sent over their Vero laptop full disclosure I have a stake in

144
00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:43,500
framework a competitor but Acer has clearly been making great strides of

145
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,779
their own when it comes to sustainable computers starting with an easy to open

146
00:10:46,019 --> 00:10:53,100
chassis and non-soldered components this is what they're calling a green PC and

147
00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:57,779
it's part of their earthion initiative it's Acer's Mission platform for a

148
00:10:55,260 --> 00:11:03,019
Greener future and it's literally green which is because this is super cool you

149
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:07,200
can actually see the flex of post-consumer plastics just kind of

150
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:11,100
mashed together in order to make this chassis I actually kind of like it

151
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:14,640
earthion encompasses everything from product design and packaging all the way

152
00:11:12,779 --> 00:11:19,200
through to production Logistics and recycling this particular one is powered

153
00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:23,399
by Intel's 13th gen core processors that is Intel Evo verified there's enough

154
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:26,820
horsepower on tap to handle most tasks while maximizing battery life meaning

155
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,600
you need to charge less often which prolongs battery health when you do need

156
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,820
to charge its fast charge capability means you can add four hours of endurance with just 30 minutes on the

157
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:38,940
wall and their ultimate goal is to bring in their business partners and use their

158
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,120
shared technology to change the world for The Greener you can join the

159
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:46,260
movement by advocating for sustainability wherever you can or

160
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:50,339
simply by living a Greener life we're doing our part today by pulling

161
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,459
potential E-Waste from the landfill but if you're not up for all this work

162
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:58,560
choosing to support initiatives like earthion and machines like the Vero can

163
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,620
help of course you still want to see what this little thing can do though

164
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:05,880
right and you're saying the trackpad is made of ocean plastic yeah it's made

165
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:10,560
from Ocean bound plastic the entire chassis is 30 post-consumer recycled

166
00:12:08,339 --> 00:12:13,920
materials so that is super cool yeah you might be wondering why not 100 post

167
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:18,839
consumer materials we've actually been learning a lot about this for our

168
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,760
acoustic panel project you just can't

169
00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:25,860
because of the unpredictable way that little shrink after molding but 30

170
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:31,380
percent pretty darn good especially post consumer because I think we were able to

171
00:12:27,959 --> 00:12:33,360
get as high as like 45 but that was just

172
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:38,399
re-ground new plastic that wasn't post-consumer well you want to know

173
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:44,160
what's even better yeah the keycaps are 50 percent sure shut up they don't even

174
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,620
look or feel like bad yeah even the

175
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:51,060
keycaps 50 PCR I don't know how they managed that yeah that's super cool here

176
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:55,680
while this is doing its thing I'm just gonna open it because it looks like it's

177
00:12:53,279 --> 00:13:00,779
that easy right it's all Phillips screws see the thing is I don't care if my

178
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:05,220
investment wins or if everyone else just does better

179
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:08,459
I just want more stuff like this in the long term I want to see this kind of

180
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:13,260
concept make its way into their higher tier products but I understand you've

181
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:17,459
got to start somewhere and obviously you've got to mitigate the risk of the

182
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:23,100
development somehow so starting with something that's relatively small is a

183
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,720
way you can do that I just need one clip

184
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:29,100
to release so that I can get under it did you get it open Anthony yeah oh okay

185
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,760
I wonder if part of this is just because of the Plastics that might be that might

186
00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:37,079
actually be why there's so many clips and screws yeah because there's the

187
00:13:34,740 --> 00:13:43,620
tolerances are going to be not as tight with this post-consumer plastic there it

188
00:13:39,779 --> 00:13:46,019
is socketed RAM socketed SSD everything

189
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:50,760
very easy to access in here actually socketed Wi-Fi which you can't even take

190
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:54,720
for granted anymore these days that didn't used to be impressive but now I'm

191
00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:59,820
seeing a lot of soldered Wi-Fi two screws on the battery total that's it

192
00:13:56,519 --> 00:14:02,339
very cool I gotta say this started out

193
00:13:59,820 --> 00:14:06,600
as just sort of sponsor talking points and has turned into I'm pretty impressed

194
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:13,980
this seems to be more than just paying lip service to Green this is like super

195
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:16,560
serviceable okay uh editor good luck

196
00:14:13,980 --> 00:14:21,899
before we gain though I feel like we should do a peel here oh ew this is very

197
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:26,399
old electrical tape it's icky oh what why did they why did they put on tape to

198
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,639
keep the peasters and you know who you are

199
00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:34,200
because nobody else put on tape quite like you did let's play some games oh

200
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:41,160
wait well first I guess we should just sort of navigate the operating system

201
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:42,839
right you know Chrome launch uh yeah all

202
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:46,320
right and we're not screen recording locally it's an HDMI pass-through to a

203
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,199
separate PC so it won't affect performance in any way things are

204
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:56,820
definitely a little bit hitchy this is a standard Windows 10

205
00:14:54,120 --> 00:15:01,079
install fully up to date with some mild manual decluttering so we uninstalled

206
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:06,180
OneDrive Skype Etc it's chugging a little whether we're talking alt tabbing

207
00:15:02,820 --> 00:15:09,600
out of games launching programs I mean

208
00:15:06,180 --> 00:15:12,420
even start menu animations it's chugging

209
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,740
a little there's no denying that while we wait for this to load is a perfect

210
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:22,139
time to talk about Atlas OS you might remember the video we did on Windows 10

211
00:15:19,079 --> 00:15:24,019
ameliorated a project that got pulled

212
00:15:22,139 --> 00:15:29,880
because they were technically Distributing Windows isos without

213
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:32,519
Microsoft's approval well Atlas OS used

214
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:38,220
to do the same thing but thanks to the efforts of ameliorated Dev actrons is

215
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:43,100
now using a new framework called AME wizard that lets you do all of the

216
00:15:40,380 --> 00:15:49,260
ripping and tearing out of excess bloat post install meaning that they can do

217
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:53,279
what they used to do but they no longer need to distribute pre-modded isos so

218
00:15:51,779 --> 00:15:57,480
the whole thing is fully above board we've actually got an early access

219
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:01,740
version of it here and by the time this video goes live you should be able to

220
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:07,500
download it for yourself it'll work not only on older Hardware but also on

221
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:09,420
Modern Hardware which is super cool okay

222
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:13,160
we're gonna try our little Halo game then we're gonna fire things up with

223
00:16:11,339 --> 00:16:18,959
Atlas OS double kill

224
00:16:16,019 --> 00:16:22,220
okay well there's no denying it it's a gaming machine for gamers

225
00:16:27,540 --> 00:16:33,480
Rage Quit let's fire up Atlas OS we did

226
00:16:31,620 --> 00:16:38,279
some movie Magic Anthony's the one who set up Atlas OS ahead of time I haven't

227
00:16:35,579 --> 00:16:42,199
touched it yet I am super stoked check this out the E-Waste PC love it

228
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:47,459
all right Google Chrome

229
00:16:45,779 --> 00:16:52,440
interesting why don't you take a look at the process list is that it

230
00:16:50,839 --> 00:16:54,920
whoa whoa

231
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:03,660
this is markedly more responsive I don't

232
00:17:00,839 --> 00:17:08,699
even need the side by side this feels like a brand spanking new machine

233
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:15,319
look at that look at her go you know this basically

234
00:17:11,699 --> 00:17:15,319
kills Linux as like

235
00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:21,959
well right because that's what people use Linux for is getting more life out

236
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:27,360
of old Hardware that can't run Windows anymore if you can run Windows with this

237
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:29,700
kind of performance Jeepers Creepers I

238
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:36,360
mean even NVIDIA control panel launches without being dog slow with that said I

239
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,340
am not expecting markedly better performance in games

240
00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:46,140
that's really just constrained by your GPU however you know we might get a

241
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:50,760
little less stutter if our CPU is less busy working away at background crap I

242
00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:56,299
just got rid of my last Windows 8.1 embedded industry Pro I'm just going to

243
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:58,820
use this why not right this is awesome

244
00:17:56,299 --> 00:18:05,700
oh man what this is on a quad core from seven

245
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:09,360
years ago quad core four threads

246
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:09,360
she's responsive

247
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:15,120
you're losing Telemetry automatic updates

248
00:18:13,620 --> 00:18:19,980
that's probably something they turned off I don't know I actually haven't looked that closely at it let's talk

249
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:24,539
memory usage right now look at how quickly I can check that we're at five

250
00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:30,660
gigs with Halo infinite running and that's 2.4 gigs so we are sitting at

251
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:33,600
just over two gigs of total system use

252
00:18:30,660 --> 00:18:42,179
other than no because another over 200 Megs is also steam this is

253
00:18:37,860 --> 00:18:45,179
incredible our RAM usage outside of Halo

254
00:18:42,179 --> 00:18:46,740
and steam is like negligible I know this

255
00:18:45,179 --> 00:18:51,059
is a lot of Hoops to jump through to extend old Hardware shelf life and you

256
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:54,780
can obviously only go so far before you are adding to the E-Waste problem just

257
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:58,080
like buying more stuff to what be greener that's why it's important to

258
00:18:56,580 --> 00:19:01,559
think carefully about the computers you buy a machine with enough power to

259
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:05,760
handle what you need today and a bit of room to grow into tomorrow always a good

260
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,120
bet and recycled material construction and packaging are huge bonuses if you

261
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:14,220
want to be environmentally conscious equally important is that old Hardware

262
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:18,539
like this doesn't have to die just because software keeps getting more

263
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:23,340
bloated for less than 350 bucks here we've got a machine that may be a little

264
00:19:20,340 --> 00:19:25,080
old but is still totally capable of

265
00:19:23,340 --> 00:19:28,799
handling modern titles at decent settings this is 1080p medium life

266
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:31,799
doesn't always have to be about the latest and greatest especially when the

267
00:19:30,419 --> 00:19:35,940
environmental cost can be so high remember the three R's reduce use and

268
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:41,039
recycle are in that order for a reason now with a 13th gen core processor back

269
00:19:38,820 --> 00:19:45,299
to our sponsor Acer's Aspire Bureau has plenty of power for today and tomorrow

270
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:49,380
but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't give Alice OS a try on it if nothing

271
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,940
else it should contribute to battery life savings on top of the vero's

272
00:19:51,539 --> 00:19:57,600
already impressive endurance which as Acer already had us point out to you is

273
00:19:56,100 --> 00:20:01,500
good for the longevity of your battery as well and hey later on down the road

274
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:05,460
when it's time to upgrade who's to say you can't use it for something else like

275
00:20:03,179 --> 00:20:09,240
streaming serving Media or even a Thin Client its more modular design makes

276
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:13,500
repairs easier and is already made out of recycled materials they've taken care

277
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:17,100
of the reduce and recycle so it's on you to reuse and we're going to have this

278
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,340
length down below now it's time to play some more Halo

279
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,780
infinite here oh it's Capture the Flag uh well thanks for watching guys if you

280
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:30,360
like this video hit like And subscribe um maybe go check out the video on

281
00:20:27,679 --> 00:20:35,760
reusing your old computer as a server that's a good one a really good video I

282
00:20:33,059 --> 00:20:39,059
really liked it I hosted it but uh not biased at all right not biased at all I

283
00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:44,989
didn't write the video it was somebody else who wrote it
