1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,799 All the plebs are getting hands on time 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,240 with the Triton 700, a new Predator laptop from Acer. What we're going to be 3 00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,799 doing is too hot for TV. We are not only 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:19,520 going to be taking you guys on a tour of the outside of an utterly groundbreaking 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:25,560 gaming laptop. We are going to be cracking the casing open for the first 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,560 time. 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,320 We're opening up a new merch store. You can check out some of our new gear today 8 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,600 at the link in the video description. That is a weird layout. Yes, we'll get 9 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:50,320 to that. But first, the display. It's 1920x 1080 60 Hz. They are not talking 10 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,879 about whether or not it's G-Sync, which presumably means that it will be because 11 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,120 if it wasn't, there would be no NVIDIA breathing down their neck. Don't talk 12 00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:02,480 about how it's going to be G-Sync. So, that that would be my assumption 13 00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:06,799 there, but I I could be incorrect about that. On the back, you're going to find 14 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:11,200 actually fairly complete IO. We've got power in, HDMI 2.0, as well as display 15 00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,360 port, whichever standard that is. They aren't talking about that at the moment. 16 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,560 We've got our power button, Thunderbolt. Nice addition. We've got USB 3, and look 17 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:25,680 at that, an Ethernet port. Wow. On this side, we've got two more USB 3s, audio, 18 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:30,159 and this is a really smart idea, a little recessed USB port, so your 19 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,000 wireless mouse dongle doesn't get caught on stuff when you're sliding it in and 20 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:39,439 out of your bag. So, the trackpad uses Gorilla Glass. It's got a very 21 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:43,920 unconventional trapezoid shaped kind of outline here on a glossy surface that 22 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,759 I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna have to be totally honest with you guys. Not a fan. 23 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,439 It's a weird shape. It's a different aspect ratio than the display. And uh 24 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,880 when there's no tactile feedback when I'm going off the trackpad, I just end 25 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,560 up confused because I'm really not that smart. Okay. Then we've got the 26 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,439 keyboard. Even as even as a person who 27 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:12,400 legitimately carries around a mouse pad and a mouse at all times, 28 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:16,080 even as one of those freaks, I'm still not a huge fan of the weird trackpad 29 00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:19,680 positioning. It's better than I've seen in the past. So, they're calling it like 30 00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:24,000 a mechanical type keyboard. I'd say it's a little stiffer than what's on the 31 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:28,000 Blade as it is. But this, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is 32 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:33,280 where it gets to be actually somewhat usable because the laptop is so thin 33 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,599 that you can actually rest your wrists on the table next to it instead of 34 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,000 having to rely on also carding around a wrist rest with you. We interrupt this 35 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:47,120 program to bring you breaking news that we learned later after this is a mouse. 36 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:52,480 The keyboard is RGB. The software is not working yet, but individual key 37 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,760 backlight. Woo! Now, let's get to the 38 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,760 part you guys have all been waiting for. 39 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:04,319 I never show up at one of these events without my trusty tool kit. Whoa, ho ho. 40 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,159 Hold on a minute here. Oh, we got the ribbon connector for the keyboard. Let's 41 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:13,599 try not to break their uh their prototype unit here. Oh, it's turned on. 42 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:18,360 Uh, okay. One second. Let's go ahead and 43 00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:18,360 uh power buttons over here. 44 00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:26,239 Yeah. Holy crap. Is that six heat pipes 45 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:31,360 in here? And these are connected to a whopping four heat sinks. Two near the 46 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:35,280 back on the side and then two more of them at the back. And then the whole 47 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,599 thing is cooled by these are So these are pretty special. These are what 48 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:45,360 they're calling their twin aoblade fans. These are a second generation of the 49 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:49,360 design that uses like these these razor 50 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,879 thin blades on it. Or maybe I should uh 51 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:57,920 Okay, I think I just crossed a line here. I mean very thin pieces of metal 52 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,640 uh on the fan in order to achieve what they're claiming is 35% 53 00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:07,040 improved air flow over more conventional fans. But of course, when you see a lot 54 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,040 of cooling, it's like a where there's smoke, there's fire, right? where 55 00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:16,320 there's a lot of cooling, there must be a lot of performance. So, you've got two 56 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,919 sodium slots allowing you to install up to 32 gigs. Let's see what's in here. 57 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:27,360 So, this is Yeah. So, they've got 32 gigs of DDR4 sodium memory in here. 58 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,199 They've got uh what else is going on? This is a really cool battery. I'm sure 59 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:36,560 like very few other people are going to geek out over this battery, but holy 60 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:42,720 crap is that ever thin. They've got, oh, I love this. Copper cooling for the up 61 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,680 to dual M.2 slots right here. So, you 62 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:50,639 can run RAID zero NVMe SSDs for boot up to 512 gigs. Killer wireless. And then, 63 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:56,960 of course, here you've got the main story. The high-end model, the first one 64 00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:01,440 coming is going to be $29.99. 65 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:04,000 This is a $3,000 laptop. So, under these 66 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,639 heat pipes here, what we know is that we're getting a Core i7 7E700HQ, 67 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,520 and I would speculate that that's right there next to the memory. What we don't 68 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:19,120 know is the 10th generation graphics that Acer is going to be equipping it 69 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,000 with. What we do know is that it's 10th 70 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:28,960 gen. What we also know is that Acer had a slide showing it was going to be over 71 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:32,639 40% faster than a late 2016 Blade. And 72 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:36,240 what we also know is that hey, we had it 73 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:40,880 turned on for the time being. That's a 74 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:44,000 GTX 1080 in there. Acer says this 75 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,919 notebook will be overclockable. 76 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,800 Whoa. I have to repair this electronic device. 77 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:56,560 What will I do? Wait, hold on. I think I got something. 78 00:05:52,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Ah, yes. Never more than an arms reach 79 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,960 away is my iixit protect tool kit or one 80 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:08,560 of the dozen or so that I have cuz these things are flipping awesome. You 81 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,440 probably know iFixit from the thousands 82 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,840 upon thousands of free guides over on their website ifixit.com. But what not 83 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,919 everyone knows is that they also have all the tools, spare parts, and 84 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:25,440 accessories that you need to complete your latest electronics repair. And the 85 00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:30,000 best part is you can get a whole ProTek tool kit for usually less than what it 86 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:34,319 would cost to have someone else fix your device once and you can use it many, 87 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,800 many times. Prying tools, screwing tools, uh, suction tools, you pretty 88 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,759 much freaking name it. And the best part is you can use offer code Linus at the 89 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:47,520 checkout to save $5 on a purchase of $10 or more. And it comes with a lifetime 90 00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:50,639 warranty.
