1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,760 Today we've got something interesting. Espresso sponsored this video 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,800 so we can take a look at the new Espresso 17 Pro, 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,320 and this thing supposedly does it all. It's portable, it's a touchscreen, 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:17,480 and most importantly to me, it's 4K at just 17.3 inches, 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,240 meaning you're gonna get a whopping 259 PPI, 6 00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:28,240 absolutely wild pixel density. Inspired by creatives, fine-tuned for professionals, 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,440 designed for people like you, like me. 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,480 Oh, it's huge. Wow, you know, you hear 17.3 inches, 9 00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,840 and you don't think it's that big until you're like holding it in your hand. 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,160 This is definitely like a giant tablet. They've also included this little handy-dandy cloth, 11 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,240 which is great, because it's already got a bunch of fingerprints on it. 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,280 What else do we get in the box though? That's what I wanna know. Let's get this to the side. 13 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,800 This is a, you know, it's a nice, like double-layer cardboard too, corrugated. 14 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,640 So this is gonna be pretty well-packed, even though it's just a small box. 15 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,920 I also love the purple. I'm just a sucker for like purple, blue, orange. 16 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,640 Comes with a handy-dandy little purple cable as well. USB-C to C. 17 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,560 Not super long. This is probably like a three-foot cable. 18 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,000 Anything a little like five feet even would be nice, just so you've got that little bit of extra length there 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,760 for plugging it in. What else do we got? What's in the box? 20 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,320 C-more, C-more, B-more, anywhere, because it's portable. 21 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,840 Drawn on Espresso. So they did this artwork on the Espresso, 22 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,120 which is really cool. I love it when people actually use their own products. 23 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,040 That looks like it's basically everything you get in the box, just a cable and a cleaning cloth, 24 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,080 but they've included a bunch of other stuff for us 25 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,640 because not only can you buy this by itself, but you can buy it in a bundle, 26 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,760 or you can buy these products separately. They've got their Espresso pen. 27 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,040 Unleash your creativity and the power of your Espresso display. 28 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,040 Unleash it, I say. I'm going to unleash this pen right now. 29 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,080 I tell you what, there we go. Oh, that made it such a satisfying. 30 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,640 That's great. I don't use a lot of pens or stylus, 31 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,680 so I'm not going to be the best in terms of telling you 32 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,280 how good this pen is, but we're going to have a special guest later come down and help me out, 33 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,520 who does use this stuff all the time. It's got a button. 34 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,040 It's got not another button and a little USB-C charger right at the end there. 35 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Key features, sketch draw and left, right click, 36 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,920 transition through a range of creative applications like sketchbook and Adobe CC apps, 37 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:39,280 navigate, pan and create through whiteboard collaboration tools like Miro, Figma, and Conceptboard. 38 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,520 They've also got this Espresso display stand and like it's a tiny box, 39 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760 but this thing is actually really heavy. It's got to be at least a pound or two. 40 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,800 I love how small this packs up because like it's a really small display. 41 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,360 So you don't want whatever stand you're going to be bringing. If you're going to move any of this stuff anywhere, 42 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,080 you don't want the stand to be huge and chunky. So this is actually really refreshing. 43 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,800 If someone who's had to move around a lot of monitors on big giant stands, this is wild. 44 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,320 I wish everything could just pack down into this tiny little package here. 45 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,040 It's very strong. Oh, I love the purple accents again. 46 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,840 That's great. It's got a neat little trick for kickstand mode. 47 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,200 So that instead of, you know, well here, let's try to put this on. 48 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,680 Is it just magnetic? Oh, that's really nice. 49 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,080 That actually worked really well. And you know what? It's holding it. 50 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,080 You've definitely got to make some adjustments beforehand. It's okay. 51 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,080 Like at the certain angle, then like this is just going to tip over from a slight push. 52 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,880 I would love to see a bit more support to make it so that it doesn't just tip over 53 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,040 if I want to put it at kind of a weird angle. And then if you do want to use it more for drawing 54 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,640 like a reasonable angle, you just kind of pop it down here, 55 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:58,040 put it on the kickstand that goes into place there, and then pop it on. 56 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,640 Now you get to go. Where'd the pen go? I want to do the, 57 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,800 that's such a good sound. Look at that. 58 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,160 I'm drawing already. I'm so good at drawing. 59 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,600 I'm not, but you know, ooh, that's a good satisfying click. 60 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,920 I like the pen. They've also got so that you can keep your screen 61 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,160 nice and safe, a big screen protector, guide stickers, lift stickers, 62 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,200 they've got it all. So you're not going to screw this up. It doesn't feel like paper. 63 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,640 Oh, I guess it's still got a film on it. All right, sure. 64 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,080 We're not going to throw the screen protector on, but one thing to note is that it supposedly feels like paper. 65 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,520 Okay, I can't say it feels like paper without at least peeling a little bit off and trying to, 66 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,320 they sent us two so I can open one. Okay. 67 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,440 I don't know if I go so far as to say it feels like paper, but like it's definitely a different kind of, 68 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,160 it's not like a slippery plastic like the outer, like the outer film is. 69 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,200 We've also got their new case 17. It's more of a screen cover than a case, but you know, 70 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,520 it'll definitely keep things a little extra protected when you slide this thing into your bag. 71 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,120 Actually, fits in the laptop sleeve like a glove. 72 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,640 LTTstore.com. That's actually really good. 17 inches doesn't seem like a lot until you 73 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:22,160 remember that like a lot of work laptops are more like 14 inch, 13 inch, 74 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,160 15 inch, 16 inch, maybe even 17 inch. 75 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,520 It is pretty thin. Like you saw, it fits in the backpack, no problem. But how heavy is it actually? 76 00:05:35,260 --> 00:05:39,640 It's only 2.4 pounds. That's not too bad. And then what about the stand? 77 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,720 This is, it's actually probably pretty close, three pounds. 78 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,080 No, it's only two. Wow, it's lighter. Probably just because it's so like dense 79 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,120 and compact, it feels heavier in your hand because it's not like spread out so much. 80 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,560 But that's only like four pounds of travel weight. 81 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,800 A little over. That's not bad. As for the IO and what you can connect to it, 82 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,120 we've got two USB-C ports right here, which is great. 83 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,000 Always love to see plenty of USB-C. And that's absolutely it. 84 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,300 We've just got what looked to be a couple of little vents up here for, I'm guessing, thermals. 85 00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,360 Otherwise, I actually like how sleek it is. There's very little branding. 86 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,800 It just says espresso in the bottom right corner right here. 87 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,000 And otherwise just black, very sleek. 88 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,560 Let's see how good the screen is though. Let's turn this thing on. Oh, it just turned on. 89 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,780 Apple device detected it. No problem. Look at that. 90 00:06:32,780 --> 00:06:36,640 Wow. You know, this thing seems pretty cool. 91 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,480 But one thing that's driving me nuts is I absolutely hate track pads 92 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,040 and MacBooks don't have a touchscreen. 93 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,920 This thing is a touchscreen. So let me actually use it. 94 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,440 Oh, oh my God. It works. 95 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:00,040 I mean, it looks pretty good. It's not HDR, but it's got 98% of DCI-P3 coverage. 96 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,960 They also rated it 450 nits and we measured 475 roughly. 97 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,000 So you can get a little bit more bank for your buck. It's got four picture modes, work, create, game, and night. 98 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 And we found work to be the best, the most color accurate. It's okay. 99 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,760 Not crazy outstanding, but good enough for most creators, at least in my opinion. 100 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,800 If you want some more in-depth results, then we'll have them on screen here. 101 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,040 There's color accuracy and color gamut testing that we did. 102 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:30,280 It's not bad. The only kind of drawback for going portable like this 103 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,280 and not being OLED is that you're not gonna get 104 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,360 any dimming zones. And so this is just about 1,000 to one contrast ratio, 105 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,820 which is very typical of IPS. It still looks pretty good though. 106 00:07:41,820 --> 00:07:45,620 As much as I love HDR, SDR can still look decent. 107 00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:49,620 One thing to note is that it doesn't come with its own color management software out of the box. 108 00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:53,860 We had to create our own ICC profile, but once we did, it actually drastically 109 00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:57,980 improved our color accuracy. And we're gonna have that ICC profile linked below. 110 00:07:57,980 --> 00:08:01,900 So if you do buy it, you know, put it on yourself, see if it helps things. 111 00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:07,900 One thing to note is that this actually does have speakers on it, which is always a plus, at least in my opinion. 112 00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:12,020 They're not the loudest and there's really no bass. You can hear it for yourself. 113 00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:23,060 But it's not awful. And I think that speakers are better than no speakers, 114 00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:26,980 personally. Check this out. You can just magnet snap the pen to the top, 115 00:08:26,980 --> 00:08:32,140 which is always really nice. They've got two key pieces of software, Flow and Jot. 116 00:08:32,140 --> 00:08:39,060 Flow is actually really cool. It's got a bunch of Windows snapping stuff. So like we can just move that around to wherever we want. 117 00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:42,780 That's great. And then Jot is this software here. 118 00:08:42,780 --> 00:08:46,980 It's their drawing stuff that you can use to just note down. 119 00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:50,460 Those are squiggles, you know, I'm a big artist. It's actually pretty easy to use. 120 00:08:50,460 --> 00:08:56,260 Like I'm at a really bad angle right now. You know, don't take this as a good example 121 00:08:56,260 --> 00:09:00,540 of how easy it is to use this thing. It's actually pretty easy. Just, you know, put it in front of you, 122 00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:05,420 like an actual display that you're gonna use. The other cool thing is that Flow, 123 00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:10,020 the magnetic snapping stuff, is actually just an app that you can download. 124 00:09:10,020 --> 00:09:15,180 So if you get any other say you don't want this monitor for whatever reason, but you have something else, 125 00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:21,780 you can get their software and install it. So you can keep that snapping feature that you so sorely desire. 126 00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:25,500 Another pretty cool feature about the pen and Jot 127 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:28,540 is that you can use the back of it to take these little screenshots here. 128 00:09:28,540 --> 00:09:35,020 It's a screenshot bell. Like put it right into Jot and then we'll just put a big like X on his forehead. 129 00:09:35,020 --> 00:09:39,180 I mean, that's a terrible example, but like circle his head. 130 00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:42,260 I'm not an artist at all. 131 00:09:42,260 --> 00:09:47,020 So that's what he's getting. He's getting stickman on top of himself. But when it comes to using software like this, 132 00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:50,620 I'm really not an Apple daily driver and I'm not a graphic designer 133 00:09:50,620 --> 00:09:56,540 and I don't use pens or anything like that. So let's get someone who actually does know 134 00:09:56,540 --> 00:10:00,980 the stuff a bit better to come and take a look at it. So I brought Maria, our graphic designer, 135 00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:05,740 who does all of our great thumbnails and the pictures for our merch photos. 136 00:10:05,740 --> 00:10:09,460 Like this one of Riley and she actually uses Apple products 137 00:10:09,460 --> 00:10:14,900 and pens and drawing tablets and stuff. So please make Riley even more beautiful 138 00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:18,620 than he already is. Let's try Photoshop. 139 00:10:18,620 --> 00:10:24,100 What's the size difference between this and like an iPad or whatever you're normally drawing on? 140 00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:27,860 Oh, this is way bigger than an iPad, yeah. 141 00:10:27,860 --> 00:10:31,420 Would you prefer that? Bigger screen, yes. 142 00:10:31,420 --> 00:10:34,860 Okay, it's probably not gonna be perfect, but it'll be close enough. 143 00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:39,020 Okay. That's nice, that's close enough, yeah. 144 00:10:39,020 --> 00:10:42,940 Just disappears, wow. Okay, let's try it again. 145 00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:47,860 Okay, the paper kind of feeling. 146 00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:51,820 Feels better? Feels better because it's not very slippery now. 147 00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:56,460 So that's good as well. If I apply more pressure, it's like. 148 00:10:56,460 --> 00:10:59,580 The line sticker. The line sticker, so that's good. 149 00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:02,900 It's like you're actually using a marker or a paintbrush. 150 00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:08,900 But it's not, again, when I try to draw something with precision, it's not 100% precise. 151 00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:14,100 So that's the thing that I'm like, I wish it was a little better. 152 00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:19,100 I mean, the iPad is just like a big phone, let's say. 153 00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:23,180 So it's not, and here we have just an extension 154 00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:28,180 of this computer. If I have this too, it will be better 155 00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:32,180 if I just have the iPad, which is just another product which I don't even need 156 00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:36,220 because I already have a computer, again. Right, so with this, instead, 157 00:11:36,220 --> 00:11:39,980 you could just get a whole new monitor that's portable. Exactly. 158 00:11:39,980 --> 00:11:44,340 Huge, because it's almost, it's 17 inches. And then it does have touch, 159 00:11:44,340 --> 00:11:47,940 which Apple doesn't natively have on iMacs or Mac Pro, 160 00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:54,580 MacBook Pro. And then for anyone who's not necessarily trying to draw final artwork for something 161 00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:58,820 that's a bit more demanding, I could use this thing to take notes, no problem. 162 00:11:58,820 --> 00:12:06,260 He looks like he's having even more fun now in his like weird plants, almost underwater kind of vibe. 163 00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:11,620 So it looks like seaweeds. And then the blue is, I don't know. 164 00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:14,860 I want to try, sorry, I keep. Pinching, yeah. 165 00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:17,620 Pinching, like if I had an iPad. Yeah. 166 00:12:18,740 --> 00:12:23,240 Maybe it's just a matter of like getting used to it, yeah. 167 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:30,020 It comes with a stand bundled for $8.99 normally, 168 00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:34,060 but right now it's on sale for only $7.99, $800. 169 00:12:34,060 --> 00:12:37,220 Plus, if you want an even bigger discount, we're going to have a link down below. 170 00:12:37,220 --> 00:12:41,940 And you can use code CIRCUT10 to get 10% off your purchase. 171 00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:45,740 Think that, I think that it's taken some practice, but these lines do look better already 172 00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:50,340 compared to what it started with. Yeah, for example, when I did like this like lines over here, 173 00:12:50,340 --> 00:12:56,660 because they were a little bit more straight kind of thing, it helps me like having that straight line there. 174 00:12:56,660 --> 00:13:01,140 So it looks smooth, it's different from, for example, the leaves here. 175 00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:04,940 Right, right. So more natural things might be a little harder, 176 00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:08,780 but if you're trying to do like hard edge patterns and stuff like that, it actually works pretty well. 177 00:13:08,780 --> 00:13:14,740 Exactly. Yeah, cool. Yeah, I guess Riley, it looks better now. 178 00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:18,620 He does, he should get these patterns on there, 179 00:13:18,620 --> 00:13:21,700 they look great. The dad hat should come with this yellow squiggle, 180 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:27,240 I'm very in favor of that. And you know, if you want to watch other videos, 181 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,660 there's a bunch of them.
