WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.799 All the plebs are getting hands on time 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:12.240 with the Triton 700, a new Predator laptop from Acer. What we're going to be 00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:14.799 doing is too hot for TV. We are not only 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:19.520 going to be taking you guys on a tour of the outside of an utterly groundbreaking 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:25.560 gaming laptop. We are going to be cracking the casing open for the first 00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:25.560 time. 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 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:43.600 at the link in the video description. That is a weird layout. Yes, we'll get 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:50.320 to that. But first, the display. It's 1920x 1080 60 Hz. They are not talking 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:54.879 about whether or not it's G-Sync, which presumably means that it will be because 00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.120 if it wasn't, there would be no NVIDIA breathing down their neck. Don't talk 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.480 about how it's going to be G-Sync. So, that that would be my assumption 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 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:11.200 actually fairly complete IO. We've got power in, HDMI 2.0, as well as display 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:15.360 port, whichever standard that is. They aren't talking about that at the moment. 00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:20.560 We've got our power button, Thunderbolt. Nice addition. We've got USB 3, and look 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, 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.159 and this is a really smart idea, a little recessed USB port, so your 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.000 wireless mouse dongle doesn't get caught on stuff when you're sliding it in and 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:39.439 out of your bag. So, the trackpad uses Gorilla Glass. It's got a very 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:43.920 unconventional trapezoid shaped kind of outline here on a glossy surface that 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. 00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:53.439 It's a weird shape. It's a different aspect ratio than the display. And uh 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.880 when there's no tactile feedback when I'm going off the trackpad, I just end 00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:02.560 up confused because I'm really not that smart. Okay. Then we've got the 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:05.439 keyboard. Even as even as a person who 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:12.400 legitimately carries around a mouse pad and a mouse at all times, 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 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 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 00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:28.000 Blade as it is. But this, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is 00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:33.280 where it gets to be actually somewhat usable because the laptop is so thin 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.599 that you can actually rest your wrists on the table next to it instead of 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.000 having to rely on also carding around a wrist rest with you. We interrupt this 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.120 program to bring you breaking news that we learned later after this is a mouse. 00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:52.480 The keyboard is RGB. The software is not working yet, but individual key 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:55.760 backlight. Woo! Now, let's get to the 00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:57.760 part you guys have all been waiting for. 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. 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:08.159 Hold on a minute here. Oh, we got the ribbon connector for the keyboard. Let's 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:13.599 try not to break their uh their prototype unit here. Oh, it's turned on. 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:18.360 Uh, okay. One second. Let's go ahead and 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.360 uh power buttons over here. 00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:26.239 Yeah. Holy crap. Is that six heat pipes 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:31.360 in here? And these are connected to a whopping four heat sinks. Two near the 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 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.599 thing is cooled by these are So these are pretty special. These are what 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:45.360 they're calling their twin aoblade fans. These are a second generation of the 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:49.360 design that uses like these these razor 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.879 thin blades on it. Or maybe I should uh 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:57.920 Okay, I think I just crossed a line here. I mean very thin pieces of metal 00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:02.640 uh on the fan in order to achieve what they're claiming is 35% 00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:07.040 improved air flow over more conventional fans. But of course, when you see a lot 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:11.040 of cooling, it's like a where there's smoke, there's fire, right? where 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 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. 00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:27.360 So, this is Yeah. So, they've got 32 gigs of DDR4 sodium memory in here. 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 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:36.560 like very few other people are going to geek out over this battery, but holy 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 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:45.680 to dual M.2 slots right here. So, you 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:50.639 can run RAID zero NVMe SSDs for boot up to 512 gigs. Killer wireless. And then, 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:56.960 of course, here you've got the main story. The high-end model, the first one 00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:01.440 coming is going to be $29.99. 00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:04.000 This is a $3,000 laptop. So, under these 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.639 heat pipes here, what we know is that we're getting a Core i7 7E700HQ, 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 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:19.120 know is the 10th generation graphics that Acer is going to be equipping it 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:22.000 with. What we do know is that it's 10th 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 00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:32.639 40% faster than a late 2016 Blade. And 00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:36.240 what we also know is that hey, we had it 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:40.880 turned on for the time being. That's a 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:44.000 GTX 1080 in there. Acer says this 00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:45.919 notebook will be overclockable. 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:50.800 Whoa. I have to repair this electronic device. 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.560 What will I do? Wait, hold on. I think I got something. 00:05:52.960 --> 00:06:00.080 Ah, yes. Never more than an arms reach 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:02.960 away is my iixit protect tool kit or one 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:08.560 of the dozen or so that I have cuz these things are flipping awesome. You 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:11.440 probably know iFixit from the thousands 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.840 upon thousands of free guides over on their website ifixit.com. But what not 00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:19.919 everyone knows is that they also have all the tools, spare parts, and 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:25.440 accessories that you need to complete your latest electronics repair. And the 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 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:34.319 would cost to have someone else fix your device once and you can use it many, 00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:38.800 many times. Prying tools, screwing tools, uh, suction tools, you pretty 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 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 00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:50.639 warranty.
