  • - Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • This is the Acer ConceptD 7,

  • and it is a different type of laptop.

  • Back at Computex, Intel showed us a few new systems

  • that were specifically designed for creators,

  • so today they wanted to sponsor a video

  • taking a look at what exactly makes this different.

  • For years, if you wanted a laptop that could do real work,

  • you were pretty much left with two options.

  • On one hand, you could pick up a gaming laptop,

  • or on the other, you could get a much beefier

  • and much more expensive workstation.

  • The idea here is that you want to buy a laptop

  • which is creator-focused, right,

  • so it doesn't have RGB and crazy over-the-top stuff.

  • It has real things like color-accurate displays.

  • RGB's fine.

  • More importantly, there are sacrifices

  • when it comes to doing real work on a gaming laptop,

  • so the screen is one of the most obvious cuts.

  • So here with the 1080p high refresh rate panel,

  • it's nice for gaming.

  • It's really not ideal for things like

  • photo and video editing,

  • where we would much prefer to have a 4K display

  • with good color accuracy.

  • Then there are the other specs to consider.

  • While this guy is rocking 16 gigs of RAM,

  • which is fine for the most part,

  • a lot of programs such as After Effects

  • can absolutely eat up a lot more than that.

  • And then there's the SSD to consider.

  • For 512 gigs, I mean, yeah, that's fine for a gaming laptop,

  • but it really isn't enough when you're dealing with

  • huge 4K files, so again, it's sort of like

  • one of those more subtle differences

  • between a gaming laptop and a creator PC.

  • A lot of times, it's just in the little things

  • that make a huge difference in the long haul.

  • Then there are workstations.

  • So these are specifically meant for creative people.

  • I mean, you've got high-end components,

  • especially when it comes to workloads such as 3D rendering.

  • This is really where the sweet spot is.

  • The only downside, though,

  • is that not only are they monstrously huge

  • and big for the most part,

  • but they also do not come cheap.

  • That's not necessarily a good thing, though.

  • I mean, sure, if you want to deal with the weight,

  • that's one thing, but the price on something like this

  • is extremely high especially when you compare it to

  • a creator laptop.

  • Now, for my purposes, this is really more powerful,

  • and it is able to do everything I need.

  • I mean, yeah, it's nice to have the Xeon and the Quadro,

  • but for video editing,

  • this is really where the sweet spot is

  • as far as I'm concerned.

  • Crack these systems open,

  • and you will find that they are very, very similar.

  • So the ConceptD is based on

  • that same chassis design as the Predator.

  • Now, on the inside, they look almost identical,

  • and that's for good reason.

  • They share a lot of the same components,

  • including the 9th Generation Intel Core i7 processor

  • as well as RTX 2060 graphics.

  • Really where the ConceptD differentiates itself

  • is not with the amount of fans

  • or cooling or anything like that,

  • but it comes with that 4K display,

  • the 32 gigs of RAM, the one terabyte SSD,

  • the things that actually do make a bigger difference.

  • There's also an advantage in price here,

  • because Acer's already done all of the R&D for this system.

  • All it takes is for them to add

  • those creator-specific features

  • without having to go and develop

  • an entirely new laptop to back that up,

  • and especially when it comes to that Triton, man.

  • I mean, I really like it.

  • Like, it's super well-built.

  • I know this has actually been

  • Ken's main gaming system for a bit,

  • so when you figure you're just adding the 4K display

  • and a couple of other important things,

  • it really does make for a very, very solid laptop

  • when it comes to a creator PC.

  • Even though this is a fairly thin light system,

  • you still have all the ports you need,

  • so importantly it does have a Thunderbolt 3 port,

  • and that's basically non-negotiable for me at this point.

  • If I'm using a work laptop,

  • I rely heavily on Thunderbolt.

  • But you also have plenty of other I/O

  • including HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, Ethernet, USB.

  • I mean, you're pretty much covered here.

  • Then there's the more subtle stuff.

  • So personally, I'm a big fan of the very clean white look

  • of the ConceptD 7.

  • I mean, nothing against RGBs

  • and black and red gamer laptops,

  • but this is a very, very clean aesthetic,

  • something that I definitely prefer over

  • a screaming over-the-top ridiculous system

  • when I'm trying to get work done.

  • Now all this is ignoring the fact that

  • this is of course a very capable gaming PC as well,

  • and the cool thing is this is

  • certainly not the only creator PC that's coming out.

  • So right now not only do we have the Razer Blade,

  • but we also have the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo.

  • There's a ton of Intel-powered designs

  • which can do a lot of things very, very well,

  • and again, they don't break the bank.

  • Sure, some of them can get expensive,

  • but if you look at a workstation,

  • yeah, no, it's certainly not so bad anymore, is it?

  • And inside all of these, you're going to find

  • the latest 9th Generation Intel Core H-Series processors,

  • which scale all the way up to eight cores,

  • 16 threads, five gigahertz turbo.

  • I mean, there is a ton of performance here,

  • and especially when you combine it

  • with up to 128 gigs of RAM,

  • this will absolutely run rings around

  • even a fairly modern workstation.

  • It's certainly not an apples-to-apples comparison.

  • We put this creator PC side-by-side

  • with this two-year-old workstation,

  • and it is absolutely no contest.

  • You really do get so much more for a whole lot less.

  • Now, all that being said,

  • if you need the Xeon, if you need the Quadro,

  • if you need the ECC memory,

  • there's certainly advantages

  • on the very high end to these workstations,

  • but I feel like the creator PC is such a nice middle ground

  • for the vast majority of people out there

  • who are interested in doing just a little bit more

  • with their gaming laptops.

  • Oh, I shouldn't call it gaming anymore.

  • I mean, creator PC is really its own thing at this point.

  • Really, this all boils down to something very simple.

  • The creator PC is something which has really languished

  • for a while, right, and honestly,

  • there's a huge credit to not only Nvidia,

  • but especially Intel for really revitalizing the category.

  • This is a laptop that not too long ago

  • would've been a completely gaming-focused design,

  • but now all you need to do is just make a few changes,

  • give you a better screen, give you more memory,

  • make a few things that'll make my life much easier

  • as a video editor, and suddenly you have a system

  • that can game, that can stream, that can video edit,

  • that can photo edit, pretty much anything you need to do,

  • these creator PCs are ready for it,

  • and especially when you start looking at

  • some of the crazier designs

  • such as the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo

  • as well as the actually higher-end version of this,

  • the ConceptD 9.

  • I mean, it gets really, really crazy,

  • so the more that we can see these things develop,

  • the more that we can see these things kind of evolve,

  • the happier I will be, and of course,

  • huge shout out to Intel for really providing the innovation

  • to really give these PC companies

  • a good reason why that they should be targeting

  • not just gamers but creators at the same time.
