    Component Costs: $1400
    G1 Costs: $2300
    I guess the case and luggage costs $900

    • @TechnoBabble
      @TechnoBabble 8 років тому +18

      Please show me a build that is $1400 ant is equivalent to this.

    • @GuardianLords

      pcpartpicker.com/list/zQBFgL
      It's $1300 but I added an extra $100 to be conservative.
      EDIT: please don't actually build it tho, there are more cheaper and efficient ways to get similar performance.

    • @TechnoBabble
      @TechnoBabble 8 років тому +26

      GuardianLords A MUCH cheaper motherboard, a lesser SSD, no case, no fans, no LEDs, no peripherals, lesser quality PSU. And you chose the cheapest possible mechanical drive, which will probably fail within a year.

    • @TechnoBabble
      @TechnoBabble 8 років тому +14

      Fouad Shadow Way cheaper video card, lesser SSD, shittiest possible mechanical hard drive, no LEDs, no fans, and a lower quality power supply.

      I hate having to keyboard warrior and no matter how much sense I type you are still going to try and discredit me but I'll still post:
      1. H110 vs Z170 motherboard doesn't matter if the i7 can't overclock anyways, so better go with the cheaper one.
      2. Lesser SSD? an 850 EVO? Did I miss the part when Linus said that the build had an 850 Pro in it? or where you referring to the capacity and didn't know that 480/500/512GB SSD capacities are the same, because manufacturers determine what sizes they are and not actual usable capacity.
      3. I did say the case and luggage costs $900 dollars so I exclude case and things that would be in the case (LEDs, fans) other wise I could have included an enthoo case that would have the luggage by itself costing $750.
      4. Lesser PSU? lesser than 2 laptop PSUs?
      5. All mechanical hard drive sucks, its not the cheapest possible, its one of the most common 2TB HDD, now unless Linus said that it had an HGST 2TB or a 2TB WD black, the mechanical will most likely suck equally.

    • @777Mikos
      @777Mikos 8 років тому +3

      You can easily get Win 10 for 30$ on Kingwin, you have a much better PSU there and periphials can't be really compared by resellers prices, since those included don't worth that much.
      Overall it's around 1600$ with LED. Making it 600$(!!!!) more expensive for "pre-built".

    • @smartypants4998

      +hardy83 I bought a prebuilt pc from bestbuy( it has a 1070 and i7 6700 and it was 1200$ which is basically the same price as if I were to build it with that price. Prebuilt pcs aren't as bad as people say.

  • @MattsPaddock

    • @asean12

    • @asean12
      @asean12 8 років тому +3

      I mean like a full size atx board.

    • @MattsPaddock
      @MattsPaddock 8 років тому +6

      I see, but the thing is that this motherboard in the Acer's G1 effectively isn't a classical ATX nor an mATX motherboard, maybe by its size, but otherwise it's a pretty specific OEM / proprietary part, so I don't think I could call it a "full size system". Nonetheless, both the G1 and G20 are very interesting piece of engineering, and they actually don't differ that much in their size and form.

    • @asean12
      @asean12 8 років тому +2

      Yeah, But Considering laptops had already done that like years before. (PSU out of he computer itself). I'm wondering why PC manufacturers haven't done it.

  • @amshermansen
    @amshermansen 8 років тому +52

    The case itself is ugly as sin... and why the hell would you move the power brick outside? Great! Now I have a second box standing/dangling on/off my desk just because the manufacturer couldn't figure out how to flip the PSU and raise the case to keep PSU airflow separate from the rest of the case...
    Oh and of course... overpriced af compared to even a pre-assembled similar setup with a proper case and non-proprietary mobo layout and cooling.

      Still overpriced, but not too bad compared to other OEMs. However, since they can benefit from mass buyouts can't see why it can't be cheaper.

  • @colinstu
    @colinstu 8 років тому +1

    Definitely the future here with external PSU power bricks for desktops. I think (and hope) this makes its way to custom builds too. There are already some mini-itx boards out there that can do it, but wish to see it spread to mATX too.

      Simply doubling that wouldn't be enough because I'm barely scraping by and constantly micromanaging to even keep my computer running with 8GB, quadrupling should be more then enough though.

  • @GadgetAddict
    @GadgetAddict 8 років тому +19

    It requires two power bricks and they output at 19v which is then dropped down to 12v inside the chassis? This seems so sloppy. Why not just create a single, external, 12v power supply for this? I guess the benefit is that they're fairly easy to replace with generic 'laptop chargers' in the future.

    • @stattraktagged9929
      @stattraktagged9929 8 років тому

      No, it is transferred into 12v, 5v, 3.3v.

    • @GadgetAddict
      @GadgetAddict 8 років тому

      StatTrak™ Tagged 99 Yeah. So 12v input would be more efficient than 19v. There's a loss associated with dropping the voltage.

    • @calaphos

      laptops use 19v and acer mainly builds laptops, so there is that. Designing power delivery in that size your own just for a niche PC is not worth the development costs.

    Very interesting review, thank you. I was considering buying this bad boy but those external power bricks convinced me to go for another option, specially after my previous' laptop brick died and I had to replace it, paying as much for shipping as the damn thing. I went for a computer with similar specs but less SSD storage that had an internal power supply from ABS, newegg's brand. It would be interesting to see an ABS computer review somewhere, as they are practically nonexistent over the web. Buying one of them is like building your own PC, because they use off the shelf components and then just glue their logo to the case, lol.

    @oxenford539 8 років тому +7

    Just checked the range that Acer is offering out of interest. All of them are borked.
    They're supposed to be marketed towards gamers, yet place more emphasis on the CPU rather than the GPU. One of the options includes an i7 with a gtx 950 - what the actual fuck Acer? Granted, they also offer an i5 with a 950, but that's the only combination on their site that offers an i5. How about offering balanced combinations for mid-range gaming PC's? Why aren't they offering i5's with 970's or 1060's? Pre-built will always suck and always be unbalanced and overpriced.

    • @TechnoBabble
      @TechnoBabble 8 років тому +9

      Because laptops are designed the same way. This desktop uses external power bricks, comes with a custom motherboard, has a bunch of custom internal components, has a custom chassis, comes with a fairly nice keyboard and mouse. It's designed and produced the same way laptops are, which is why it costs the same.

    • @TechnoBabble
      @TechnoBabble 8 років тому +3

      ***** No, this desktop will still be more powerful. The vast majority of laptops with 1080s with not run them at full speed, ESPECIALLY when on battery. And the same thing goes with the CPU. This desktop has a 6700, which will beat ANY mobile CPU. So unless you're getting one of Sager's massive workstation laptops with a 6700k and a 1080, than it won't outperform this desktop, and even then the laptop will cost more.

      as for voltage stepping they could incorporate it in to the brick itself and use a proprietary plug like the xbox 360 or something similar, more or less they just took two laptop power bricks that they already have form there other acer computers and tape them together it is lazy

      if you already have too much crap plugged in than it doesnt matter if it has 2 plugs or 1 since you're probably going to overdraw it anyways. if you're not going to overdraw than you can literally rip of the outlet and hotwire the plugs together, thats how a power outlet splitter works anyways.

      +Munira Islam he said $400 less. How about instead of being aggressive on the internet you read before saying stupid shit

    Funny, I've been building my personal (and a few friends) PCs with the PSU mounted to the back outside of the chasis for exactly that reason.

    Since this CPU Turbo's to 4Ghz, which is determined by power availability among other things, it would have been interesting to see if this system can actually reach 4ghz with the external power bricks.

    Linus, it's an ACER bro. It's all crap, and will die within one month of its warranty expiration, guaranteed. ACER is a four letter word in more ways than one in my world... Good to see they're aiming higher, but they've pissed me off one too many times and I'll NEVER own another component from them again. NEVER.

    I know this is an old video and i know they wont read this comment or many of you but id like to point out the reason why they have added 2 headset holding arms on the PC is to make is so you can position the PC to the left or right of your main setup and therefore are not restricted in having to access your headset from one angle. This is also convenient for people who might not be able to use alot of space to put their PC.

    Youe should review the nfc-s4 case. It uses external power adapter and its size is only 4.something liter.

    I have a G3 and it is still awesome for 1200 with a i7-6700k and Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 with 32 gigabytes of ram (DDR4)

      TechyPlayz Why would you ever need 32gb? That seems like the biggest waste when they try to market to gamers

      Changes where did you buy it? I can only find it with 1070, 8gb ram and i5 7400

    i think the dual headset holders are for either sides depending if you want your pc hugging the wall.

    I love the look, i love the inside, i love the leds (the leds look even better than in g6) and the prise isnt too bad as well..
    But how silent and fast is this when it comes to playing some games that requier a damn good fps and other stuff?
