All the plebs are getting hands on time
with the Triton 700, a new Predator laptop from Acer. What we're going to be
doing is too hot for TV. We are not only
going to be taking you guys on a tour of the outside of an utterly groundbreaking
gaming laptop. We are going to be cracking the casing open for the first
time.
We're opening up a new merch store. You can check out some of our new gear today
at the link in the video description. That is a weird layout. Yes, we'll get
to that. But first, the display. It's 1920x 1080 60 Hz. They are not talking
about whether or not it's G-Sync, which presumably means that it will be because
if it wasn't, there would be no NVIDIA breathing down their neck. Don't talk
about how it's going to be G-Sync. So, that that would be my assumption
there, but I I could be incorrect about that. On the back, you're going to find
actually fairly complete IO. We've got power in, HDMI 2.0, as well as display
port, whichever standard that is. They aren't talking about that at the moment.
We've got our power button, Thunderbolt. Nice addition. We've got USB 3, and look
at that, an Ethernet port. Wow. On this side, we've got two more USB 3s, audio,
and this is a really smart idea, a little recessed USB port, so your
wireless mouse dongle doesn't get caught on stuff when you're sliding it in and
out of your bag. So, the trackpad uses Gorilla Glass. It's got a very
unconventional trapezoid shaped kind of outline here on a glossy surface that
I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna have to be totally honest with you guys. Not a fan.
It's a weird shape. It's a different aspect ratio than the display. And uh
when there's no tactile feedback when I'm going off the trackpad, I just end
up confused because I'm really not that smart. Okay. Then we've got the
keyboard. Even as even as a person who
legitimately carries around a mouse pad and a mouse at all times,
even as one of those freaks, I'm still not a huge fan of the weird trackpad
positioning. It's better than I've seen in the past. So, they're calling it like
a mechanical type keyboard. I'd say it's a little stiffer than what's on the
Blade as it is. But this, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is
where it gets to be actually somewhat usable because the laptop is so thin
that you can actually rest your wrists on the table next to it instead of
having to rely on also carding around a wrist rest with you. We interrupt this
program to bring you breaking news that we learned later after this is a mouse.
The keyboard is RGB. The software is not working yet, but individual key
backlight. Woo! Now, let's get to the
part you guys have all been waiting for.
I never show up at one of these events without my trusty tool kit. Whoa, ho ho.
Hold on a minute here. Oh, we got the ribbon connector for the keyboard. Let's
try not to break their uh their prototype unit here. Oh, it's turned on.
Uh, okay. One second. Let's go ahead and
uh power buttons over here.
Yeah. Holy crap. Is that six heat pipes
in here? And these are connected to a whopping four heat sinks. Two near the
back on the side and then two more of them at the back. And then the whole
thing is cooled by these are So these are pretty special. These are what
they're calling their twin aoblade fans. These are a second generation of the
design that uses like these these razor
thin blades on it. Or maybe I should uh
Okay, I think I just crossed a line here. I mean very thin pieces of metal
uh on the fan in order to achieve what they're claiming is 35%
improved air flow over more conventional fans. But of course, when you see a lot
of cooling, it's like a where there's smoke, there's fire, right? where
there's a lot of cooling, there must be a lot of performance. So, you've got two
sodium slots allowing you to install up to 32 gigs. Let's see what's in here.
So, this is Yeah. So, they've got 32 gigs of DDR4 sodium memory in here.
They've got uh what else is going on? This is a really cool battery. I'm sure
like very few other people are going to geek out over this battery, but holy
crap is that ever thin. They've got, oh, I love this. Copper cooling for the up
to dual M.2 slots right here. So, you
can run RAID zero NVMe SSDs for boot up to 512 gigs. Killer wireless. And then,
of course, here you've got the main story. The high-end model, the first one
coming is going to be $29.99.
This is a $3,000 laptop. So, under these
heat pipes here, what we know is that we're getting a Core i7 7E700HQ,
and I would speculate that that's right there next to the memory. What we don't
know is the 10th generation graphics that Acer is going to be equipping it
with. What we do know is that it's 10th
gen. What we also know is that Acer had a slide showing it was going to be over
40% faster than a late 2016 Blade. And
what we also know is that hey, we had it
turned on for the time being. That's a
GTX 1080 in there. Acer says this
notebook will be overclockable.
Whoa. I have to repair this electronic device.
What will I do? Wait, hold on. I think I got something.
Ah, yes. Never more than an arms reach
away is my iixit protect tool kit or one
of the dozen or so that I have cuz these things are flipping awesome. You
probably know iFixit from the thousands
upon thousands of free guides over on their website ifixit.com. But what not
everyone knows is that they also have all the tools, spare parts, and
accessories that you need to complete your latest electronics repair. And the
best part is you can get a whole ProTek tool kit for usually less than what it
would cost to have someone else fix your device once and you can use it many,
many times. Prying tools, screwing tools, uh, suction tools, you pretty
much freaking name it. And the best part is you can use offer code Linus at the
checkout to save $5 on a purchase of $10 or more. And it comes with a lifetime
warranty. Thank you guys for watching this video.
