this portion of our ces coverage is brought to you by lastpass check out the

00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,840
link in the video description to learn more and start securing your passwords

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:15,120
today this my friends is the new world's

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,600
thinnest laptop the acer swift 7 and i would forgive you

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,320
for not being able to tell the difference between this one and the old

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:30,519
swift 7 based on the name but don't worry you guys uh they've got the

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,519
model number sf714

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:36,559
that's how you can tell the difference now i don't condone calling products the

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,800
same thing year after year but i'm also not sure facer has the right solution

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:45,280
either way the name is not what counts it's all about

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:51,039
the hardware so let's have a look at what they've managed to cram in here

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,160
first up we've got a 7th gen core i7

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:58,480
this time last time it was just a core

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,719
i5 so now we've got a core i7 7y6

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:07,159
CPU at a base of 1.3 you can actually see it's turboing to 3.3 gigahertz right

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:12,560
now it's got 8 gigs of memory it's got

17
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:15,600
256 gigs of storage and it is just 8.98

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,240
millimeters thick making it just also

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,720
1.15 kilograms so this is among the lightest laptops we have ever seen as

20
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:28,560
well improvements over the last generation in addition to the CPU also

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,640
include a touchscreen display now if you're into that sort of thing

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,560
probably the most shocking thing about this guy is the keyboard it has an

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,240
amazing amount of travel

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:46,240
for something that is built into something so thin so i think the only

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,640
solution is to uh take it apart and find out exactly how they did that now one

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,119
thing you are sacrificing it's backlit too look at that one thing you are

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,200
sacrificing is that the track pad is no longer clickable so you're gonna need to

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,200
do a touch for left and a double touch like that for right but i think if

29
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:08,080
you're the kind of person who is really into super thin laptops you can probably

30
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,000
make do with that overall i was also impressed by the sturdiness so this is

31
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:17,520
an aluminum unibody design and it is completely fanless

32
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:23,840
so how'd they do it well i took the liberty of pre-removing and loosening

33
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:28,560
most of the screws so i could open this baby up for you

34
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,920
yeah this is when i this is when i have the most fun at these shows

35
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,200
all right let's see if we can get this popped

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,319
the easiest way to do it i already tried this once

37
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,160
was to kind of kind of give it a little bend

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,160
oh well uh but um

39
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:52,720
now it's off yeah

40
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,360
okay so how'd they do it so about a

41
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:59,360
third of the laptop maybe about 25 of it is taken up by this 36 watt hour battery

42
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,120
right here it looks like that is actually two

43
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,640
separate batteries or two separate cells it's

44
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,319
kind of hard to tell i'm not going to get too much into the details here

45
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,959
here's the fanless cooler so they've actually got two heat pipes running from

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,800
it so it looks like the heat is going to be dissipated through the keyboard it's

47
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,480
not something i noticed while i was playing around with it so it clearly

48
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:26,560
doesn't heat up too much but there's your CPU right there and it's basically

49
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:32,080
just using like copper sheeting as a heat sink really

50
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:36,720
impressive stuff our storage drive is up here so this is actually a 512 gig drive

51
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:43,840
but they are planning to ship this with a 256 and then RAM is not upgradable

52
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:48,720
like the SSD RAM is actually soldered right onto the motherboard it's not 100

53
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:53,680
clear where it is it might be around here somewhere i don't know i'm not uh

54
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:57,040
i'm not actually able to comment on that the last thing though that i did want to

55
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,400
cover is that considering the thinness of this thing i o is not bad you got a

56
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,239
power button over here you've got two

57
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,840
usb type cs and would you look at that

58
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:13,840
a headphone jack huh so it turns out they can put those

59
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:18,720
things on uh you know super thin computers

60
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,639
so pricing is going to be uh 16.99 us

61
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,320
and availability is i don't know sometime in like the next little bit i

62
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,759
actually didn't ask but uh there you have it

63
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:32,639
so big thank you to lastpass for sponsoring this video lastpass has been

64
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,040
a lifesaver for us for we've been using it for well over a year now company-wide

65
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,479
and there's all kinds of things it's great for it's great for throwaway sites

66
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,960
where you sign up for an account because you like

67
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,680
need to read that forum reply or you need to submit a warranty replacement

68
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,440
and you know for a fact you are never going to remember that password so your

69
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,360
options are either to do a password reset every time which doesn't work if

70
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,520
you're say on a plane and you don't have an internet connection or whatever else or you have to reuse a password which is

71
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:07,680
literally rule number one the first thing they tell you not to do

72
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,240
when you're trying to be secure online reusing passwords is bad or with

73
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,680
lastpass you just have to remember one password and you can go in and it'll

74
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:20,400
just auto populate whether it's in a browser or on Android phones at least

75
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:24,240
it'll actually even do it within apps so you get a new phone or whatever else you

76
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,759
want to log into everything you just log into lastpass you fire up the app and

77
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,320
it'll go hey we detected that we can autofill this for you bippity boppity

78
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,039
two factor and you're in we've got them linked in the video description but

79
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,560
we've been really happy with the enterprise service that we've had

80
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:44,479
so thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video then you can hit that button but if you liked it hit that

81
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:47,919
like button get subscribed or maybe consider checking out uh

82
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:51,680
i don't know subscribe check out our other ces 2018 content it's gonna be

83
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:56,479
awesome look at that thing it's so flat

84
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:02,199
is that pcb even like thinner than usual like the keyboard just goes right

85
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,199
through this is it that's the keyboard
