WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.360 so today I have an unboxing of something that's very cool and very exciting this 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:12.240 is the Acer Iconia Tab 00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:14.960 w500 this is a tablet PC it is using 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.119 Windows 7 okay so let's just go over what it says on the box and then we'll 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:23.359 get more into the fit and finish of the overall product once we get inside you 00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:26.960 can see it has a 10.1 in multi-touch LED 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.599 backlit LCD supports HDMI it has Wi-Fi 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:34.000 which it bloody well better it's going to pretend to be a tablet okay we've 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:36.600 also got evidently a keyboard so let's 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:41.000 go ahead and get this oh let's have a look at the specs so here we are we have 00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:46.360 Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit AMD dual core processor C50 bam that's the 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:50.640 surprise because that is not only see you see how they have that listed as a 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:56.120 processor not as a CPU well the reason is that this is an APU this is an AMD 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:59.600 Fusion tablet so it uses the C50 Apu 00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:04.199 which means it has a CPU and a GPU built 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.799 in to one die pretty sweet 10.1 in 00:01:04.199 --> 00:01:13.479 multi-touch HD LED LCD 2 gigs of memory 32 gig SSD 2inone card reader Wireless N 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:17.159 1.3 megapixel webcam and a three Cell lithium ion battery now the thing about 00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.799 that three Cell lithium ion battery you might go oh three cell probably doesn't 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:25.040 have great battery life well with AMD Fusion we're talking about a whole 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:29.400 different ball of wax because Fusion uses very very little power due to the 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.520 efficiency of the design okay so here's a little install guide for using the 00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.680 plug apparently you can rotate the plug should you so desire excellent here's an 00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:43.119 international Travelers warranty as well as a quick start guide next we have a 00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:48.719 setup and configuration guide which probably shows you a couple useful 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:50.719 tricks and tips all right and let's go 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:56.680 ahead and take this off find the tablet itself no let's see 00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:00.439 if we have any more accessories first oh yeah okay so there's our 00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:07.560 keyboard okay what do we got over here so there's our there's our power adapter so this is 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:13.280 what they mean by being able to rotate it I suppose so you can put it this way 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.440 or no I don't think it goes in that 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:20.440 way oh yeah okay it looks like you got to lock it in there we go there all 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:24.760 right so why don't we pull out the tablet portion 00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:28.599 first okay I was actually already playing around with this so I apologize 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:33.879 in advance for the fact that it's got a couple fingerprints on it but you guys 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.319 can deal all right so go ahead press the button 00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:42.280 here okay please wait we're going to get 00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:46.519 into Windows 7 Home Premium the default user is logged in there we go so I'll 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:51.840 let cameraman have a look at that while I dig out the 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:55.920 keyboard so that I can show that to you guys cuz that is a very cool little 00:02:54.440 --> 00:03:01.560 feature so let's get all this stuff out of our way so we can make room just for 00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:01.560 the product itself 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.959 okay and here we go so let's do a quick 00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.599 tour of the device so here is a Windows 00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:19.920 button all right that's pretty much it for buttons on the front of the device 00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:22.560 so everything is multi-touch ready it is 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:27.040 accelerated by a direct X11 GPU so that means that not only do you have support 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:31.560 for your multi-touch but you're going to have full video acceleration for 00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:36.920 anything that is a direct compute open CL that's what you get with direct X11 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:38.439 as well as Windows arog glass so let's 00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:44.400 move around to the side here we've got our HDMI output as well as an SD card 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:48.159 reader okay we've got our volume up and 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.360 down power we've got a headphone jack 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:54.480 there's a low battery LED indicator down 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:56.439 here we've got a ventilation Port we've 00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.560 also got our webcam right there uh moving this way we've got yet 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:05.720 another webcam okay on the other side we have power 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:10.519 in and then finally on the bottom we're going to find USB as well as a couple of 00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:14.680 pegs for mounting this to the included keyboard This appears to be some kind of 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.799 lock which I guess is an orientation lock yep so it does have an 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:25.720 accelerometer which means that you can hold it this 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:28.360 way there we go or this 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:34.000 way just like that and it'll resize your desktop and and now let's have a look at 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:42.199 the keyboard itself so what you do is you evidently lift this 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.960 up and plug it in so USB is going to 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:50.039 power and give us an interface to this little included keyboard we've got one 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.759 of those old school style uh rubber 00:04:50.039 --> 00:04:56.039 thing in the middle of the keyboard I actually really like this I used to I 00:04:53.400 --> 00:05:00.360 used to use this on on a really old laptop that I had if you've got two 00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:04.840 hands to use it this is is one of the best mousing interfaces I believe uh 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:10.919 that has ever graced notebooks everywhere so uh I I'm personally a big 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:13.840 fan of that the keyboard is a on this 00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:17.440 particular demo unit a sing uh unilingual or monolingual whatever you 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:21.880 prefer to call it it is only one language so you've got fulls size shift 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.759 Keys fullsize Enter key you've got a fullsize backspace key now the keyboard 00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:30.400 is quite small but remember this is only a 10.1 in screen so that's pretty much 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:34.800 what we have to deal with now the most exciting thing about this tablet slash 00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:39.319 uh subnotebook bu a long shot is AMD Fusion 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:44.479 so give me a second I'm going to get connected to our Wi-Fi and I'm going to show you guys the some of the advantages 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:51.360 of AMD Fusion so here's our Fusion Tablet 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.000 running my personal favorite uh YouTube 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:57.440 HD video so we've got Big Buck Bunny running I'm actually going to find a 00:05:55.880 --> 00:06:01.880 more action-packed part to uh skip to for you you guys oh 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:07.800 yeah this will do okay so you can see the playback is 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.120 quite smooth now remember the direct X11 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:15.759 uh component well I I can't really call it a GPU it's very challenging so the 00:06:12.039 --> 00:06:18.360 direct X11 graphics processor in the Apu 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:24.440 which is part of the Apu is capable not only of accelerating flash it's also 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.639 good for HTML 5 and it's going to give 00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:32.080 you the capability of using direct compute and open CL applications as well 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:37.840 which is something that a non-direct X11 compliant part will not allow you to do 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:40.160 now the C50 inside this particular 00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:45.360 tablet I'm just going to go ahead and close down iie 00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:51.280 here all right let's uh go to task manager so it is a dual core processor 00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:55.440 you can see the CPU usage is quite High even so we do have video running in the 00:06:53.240 --> 00:07:00.120 background and uh so it's splitting the load between the CPU and the GPU 00:06:58.039 --> 00:07:03.960 components of the APU going to go ahead and turn that off but 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:11.319 it is a dual core so you can see that in the task manager and um it's a 9 watt part so I 00:07:08.919 --> 00:07:16.639 want to show you guys the total system power consumption let me turn my video 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:21.160 back on in full screen mode here and I 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:22.240 can go ahead and do that there we go and 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:27.000 here we are so total system power consumption 00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:31.319 remember this is a rough ballpark figure is about 36 Watts for the entire to 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:36.960 tablet so what that means is better battery life better performance and more 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:39.919 overall capabilities for a fusion tablet like this don't forget to subscribe to
