This costs way less than you'd think #Helpful Post

our CES 2019 coverage is brought to you

by D brand their grip case and prism

screen protector give you 360 degree

protection for your phone check them out

at the link in the video description so

we're here at Acer where they're showing

off some gaming notebooks they're

showing off the new Swift 7 which is the

same thinness as the old one but

significantly smaller so it's still got

a Y class processor it's still super

thin 10 hour battery life dual-core

hyper-threaded it's still a little

flimsier than I'd like and it's still

very expensive and what was it $1,700 or

something along those lines and then to

go with the thinnest lightest notebook

they've ever made they've got this this

is the aptly named thoroughness arguably

the biggest heaviest desktop ever made

so this entire thing is actually one

package there is a single SKU it costs

$10,000 but whoa hold on that actually

isn't as crazy expensive as you might

initially think and in fact the first

thing that both I and Colton said when

we walked in was like oh that's it

because there is a lot of stuff here so

first of all you get yourself a predator

or Ryan desktops this is there 9,000

desktop it comes with it's a pretty good

spec but not an over-the-top spec that's

included in the 10,000 dollar unit so

you got two 8700 K I believe it's 32

gigs of ram does that sound about right

you got your 512 gigas SD 2 terabyte

hard drive what's that 64 gigs around

who's keeping track at this point oh

RTX 2080 Ti so very capable little

gaming machine alright you get a full

set of Acer predator gaming peripherals

keyboard mouse you got your headset you

got this special shaped mousepad that

goes with this you know arm that closes

in on you you get three Acer predator

gaming monitors so these are 27-inch 144

Hertz 2560 by 1440 monitors they're

running in NVIDIA surround whatever

Nvidia is calling that these days and

you get

so acer is only selling this with what

they're calling White Glove service

which is to say that when you buy a

throne Asst someone will come to your

house spend probably upwards of two

hours assembling it for you wherever it

is that you choose to plunk it down and

by the way you won't be moving it after

because it weighs well over 500 pounds

and you will be treated to not just the

most deluxe gaming chair that I have

ever been in it will be a motorized one

so the first thing you need to do is get

your RGB adjusted to whatever is

comfortable for you I'm partial to

orange I'm gonna go ahead and do that

then you grab this remote right here

which controls not just the rumble in

the seat so there's actually a couple of

subwoofers built into the seat that will

just detect any low frequency sound in

your game or movie or whatever else it

is and vibrate along your back and along

your butt crack but you also get to

adjust check this out oh no now that is

all this one does nevermind so it's got

a separate remote that's built in right

here that you can use to do this open

hold on ah to do this so it closes the

keyboard now straight I got to give it a

little help this is pre-production still

it's not shipping till q2 sometimes

something along those lines closes the

arm and then there's actually a couple

of other things here that I can adjust

as well so I'm gonna go ahead and throw

my headset on and I'm gonna raise of the

pedals so this lifts up my feet and this

buddy is supposed to pop up here I think

come on there buddy

hey pre-production like I said it's a

come on pedal rise

do you mind showing me how you got this

to come up before

oh okay wrong button then finally this

is the last trick what they're calling

0g so it lifts up your legs and tilts

the whole thing back now you don't have

to go all the way back and in fact I

would say there is at least a small risk

of your keyboard kind of accidentally

following on you if you don't secure it

back here something figure out some way

to cable manage that and in fact every

part of it is no I wouldn't say

infinitely adjustable but very

adjustable so you can raise the arms a

little bit if your eye lines a little

bit higher so this is it you are

immersed in your gaming cockpit you've

got your cupholders you've got your USB

hub over here so you plug in a thumb

drive or whatever else it is you want

you've got a controller pouch down here

that you can keep your I don't know your

on your xbox game controller or

whatever else in I mean what more could

you ask for this type of thing is sure

to impress the ladies and like I said

all of this for just ten thousand

dollars including coming to assemble it

for you now if you guys are anything

like me you're probably asking yourself

at this point fly why is a sir building

this this is so far outside of their

typical product lineup and the best

answer that I could get because unlike

what I would have expected with a

product like this where I would have

seen a brand trying to make you know

five thousand dollars a unit because

this is going to be obviously a low

volume item they seem to be taking a

very similar approach to the margin of

this product based on what I know about

how much it costs to do this kind of

thing as they would even on like a

typical gaming notebook so the best

answer that I can get out of them is

that this is a statement piece this is

the kind of thing that they want to be a

draw in retail stores or in

entertainment centers or wherever else

where people are going to be exposed to

the predator brand and thing

you know what predator yeah gaming like

hardcore gaming and if that's the goal

then as far as I'm concerned

mission accomplished Acer mission

accomplished

that's not really a recommendation to

buy one but it's definitely

attention-grabbing

speaking of attention-grabbing

can I just grab your attention for a

minute tell you about our sponsor d Brad

D brands grip cases super grippy it's

got their extra clickable buttons and

like anything D brand its customizable

so you can change out this marble back

that I've got on mine with Dragon Skin

or any color you want they're all true

textured authentic 3m vinyl and they are

cut with the precision that you'd expect

from D brand actually that goes for

their grip cases as well including their

cutouts for fingerprint sensors cameras

etc and then on the front of the phone

they've got their new prism screen

protectors these things are absolutely

nuts

the demo you guys are looking at right

now is absolutely real so they've got

this cool applicator that you use to put

their screen protector on so you get a

perfect fit every time and then once

it's on it kind of it feels like glass

on the front but it's not because you

can take it and smack a nail into a

piece of wood with the front of your

phone peel the thing off and the screen

is still pristine I haven't seen impact

protection like this from a third-party

product ever before and you guys can

check out both the grip and the prism to

protect your phone 360 degrees at the

link in the video description so thanks
