0:53
all right so new in the office is the
0:56
Acer Chromebook 7:14 if you remember
0:59
alongside its brother the 715 Acer
1:02
announced these back in May at their big
1:05
event we went to it New York and we
1:07
actually spent some time hands-on with
1:09
these and there's videos and posts on
1:11
the website you can go take a look at if
1:12
you'd like to but we just got it in the
1:14
office we've kind of been waiting on
1:16
these things because if you remember the
1:17
715 came out it was the first one with a
1:19
numeric keypad and these are both the
1:22
first devices with fingerprint scanners
1:24
on them except for the pixel slate so
1:26
they had some cool superlatives at the
1:28
time and we've been excited to see them
1:30
and honestly expected to see them like
1:32
June July timeframe so we're a little
1:33
bit behind schedule but we wanted to go
1:36
ahead and open it up and you know give
1:38
you some first impressions of what it's
1:40
like to actually have it here in the
1:51
so a quick reminder of what we're
1:53
working with here we're talking all
1:55
aluminum build very kind of plain and
1:58
understated it's an enterprise focus
2:00
device 14 inch screen 1080p anti glare
2:03
touch screen this model comes with the
2:06
core i3 so 8th gen so think you know
2:09
dell inspiron chromebook lenovo c63 that
2:11
whole line it's it's part of the Namie
2:13
family of devices for those of you that
2:15
follow along with baseboards and all
2:17
that stuff so nothing new really into
2:19
the hood that we haven't seen before
2:20
eight gigs of ram comes with this one
2:21
and 64 gigs of internal storage backlit
2:24
keyboard the keys are really nice and
2:26
quiet I've kind of messed around with
2:28
them just kind of off camera over here
2:30
just a little bit but one of the more
2:32
striking parts of this is the huge
2:34
trackpad on here so it's got the same
2:36
size trackpad you see unlike the 15 inch
2:38
Acer Chromebooks and that's one of my
2:40
knocks that I had with the spin 13 which
2:43
this device reminds me of a little bit
2:44
just because the all aluminum and it's
2:47
kind of got a surge design look to it in
2:48
general but the spin 13 has this kind of
2:52
really narrow trackpad and this one has
2:54
that big nice almost square slab of
2:56
glass right at the bottom feels nice and
2:58
smooth click is quiet so the trackpad
3:01
already feels really nice
3:02
again the backlit keys look really good
3:04
and then you get this superlative here
3:06
with the fingerprint scanner again we've
3:08
not seen this since the pixel slate and
3:11
no other Chromebook in almost a year now
3:13
has equipped a fingerprint scanner and
3:15
so I went ahead and set it up real quick
3:16
as we cut and it works just like you'd
3:19
expect just like on the pixel slate
3:20
logged in and that's all it takes and so
3:23
I can imagine myself getting kind of
3:25
hooked to this over the course of
3:27
reviewing this device like the ability
3:28
to just open it up and touch and be in
3:31
that's pretty awesome but overall the
3:33
thing feels great feels really solid
3:36
there are some design parts here that
3:38
feel a little bit like an Acer
3:39
Chromebook that I dogged on just a
3:41
little bit the 5:14 I think so some
3:43
parts from just looking at it they kind
3:45
of looked like that but I can tell you
3:46
already just handling it it doesn't feel
3:49
anything like that device this one feels
3:50
way more premium it feels lighter than
3:52
it deserves to be at all aluminum and 14
3:55
inches and it's got nice slim bezels on
3:57
the side so I don't know a lot to like
4:00
here and I'm obviously going to spend
4:01
some time with it and get a full review
4:03
but we wanted to give you just some you
4:05
know quick first blush takes on this
4:07
device since we just got it in the
4:08
office I haven't seen it in a long time
4:10
and I'm pretty excited to actually use
4:12
it as my daily driver for the next bit
4:14
until we get a review to you but guys
