s this Laptop All You Need? #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin is this all the

laptop that you need now that might

sound like a weird question but as

someone who takes a look at a lot of

weird extreme tech this is a lot more

reasonable for most people now of course

a big shout-out to a surfer now only

hooking this up with a laptop that's

sponsoring this video and let's take a

look so this is the Acer Aspire r15 now

inside we get the power cable and some

lovely cardboard packages

having trouble contact acer first seems

like perfectly reasonable advice I can't

make fun of so this is the aspire r15

I'm actually curious to see I have

actually not seen this in person yet I

like to sort of cross brush finished

here it looks pretty nice the course

this is a pretty beefy laptop so inside

we have a full 15.6 inch display so

what's cool is that this is a

convertible so you can use it a standard

laptop mode you have a solid trackpad

and you also have a touchscreen so you

can scroll like that but when you're

ready you can actually just flip the

entire screen around and say watch video

like this or you can even flip it upside

down and get tense mode it's a pretty

cool little setup I've got to say now

yeah this is a little bit big to be used

as a standard tablet but if you flip the

screen all the way close

what you get here is what's essentially

a 15 inch tablet this gives you a lot of

flexibility so you want to use the

laptop in a normal situation you sit

down open it up and you can use it just

like any other laptop you have the touch

screen you have your keyboard as well as

your trackpad when it comes to watching

videos oh it's really helpful to be able

to flip the screen around I think that's

a big advantage of the laptop sure if

you want to use it as a stayer laptop by

all means go ahead but having the

flexibility to just flip the screen

around using pretty much any orientation

you want is a huge advantage this guy

also has a pretty good screen so it is a

15.6 inch display with a full 1080p

resolution and not only is it IPS but it

also has 0 air gap which especially

helps with the viewing angle how good

screen is important is this is a very

media focused laptop so you're going to

be watching video playing games and

while yes it would be nice if it had a

4k screen but that would add a lot to

the price I think this is a good

compromise so last time Jane idea made

out of they are a bit of an estate

speakers are also not bad so that's

important well sure you're probably

going to want plug in headphones for

video editing or gaming but it's nice to

be able to know that you have speakers

they're going to work in pretty much any

orientation

of course this guy's running Windows 10

but what's cool is is that it's a

signature addition what that means is

that there's no extra bloatware or junk

that you have on the computer when you

first get it if you're anything like me

you know that you usually have to spend

30 minutes getting rid of all the crap

when you first get a brand new computer

but here it's pretty much good to go out

of the box and since it is Windows 10 it

means we have things like Cortana so for

example I can ask it tell me an

interesting fact venus is the only

planet that rotates clockwise it was

cool about cortana a cortana actually

has probably the best voice of any of

these sort of assistance there's also

support for Windows hello as well as a

built-in fingerprint reader and the

trackpad so something as simple as just

trying to drop my finger on it and we're

immediately logged in now I feel like

the more laptops I use that have

fingerprint readers the more I find it's

actually a really useful feature inside

the aspire r15 we have a core i7 7500

use 12 gigabytes in memory at 256

gigabyte SSD as well as dedicated nvidia

940 MX graphics so with that KB Lake

processor not only are you getting the

latest and greatest but it also should

be easy on battery there's also support

for Windows hello as well as a built-in

fingerprint reader and the trackpad so

that is 4k pros footage playing back

inside DaVinci Resolve now this is not

going to be an amazing editing PC for

that I really would want a quad core

processor but thanks to those in video

graphics you actually can't do some

fairly light editing you can also do

some gaming so right now I'm playing

overwatch at 1080p on low setting I'm

getting a really respectable 60 to 70

frames per second so I think that's one

of the big advantages of the aspire r15

Meli can you do stuff like gaming but

you can do video editing it cutter will

let you do a little bit of everything

especially because it has that SSD and

plenty of memory and while the graphics

aren't amazing you're going to blow you

away they're totally not bad you can

definitely do a fair bit of gaming on

this guy so is this all the computers

you need for a lot of people the answer

is yeah but what do you guys think let

me know in the comments below and I will

catch you in the next one
