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
