SelmaTeacher7 Mr. Berry here. Today I'm going to be unboxing the Acer Chromebook 15 with a
touchscreen and going over some of his features so let's get started with the unboxing and the
first impressions the box is usually what you get from Acer here so let's open this up here inside
basic instructions how so you can call support there in this box you have the power supply and
it is recommended that you plug this in and let it charge at pulley before you first use it so that's
easy to do just plug this in together yes and these are using USB type-c for power as seen here
there's another book of basically your warranty it's more set of ties and within the setup guide
we see how to plug it into power how to connect to your Wi-Fi network and how to log into your Google
account and in the getting to know your desktop section it shows you how to find the launcher
how to pin your favorite apps down to the shelf now to access controls settings and other things
that you have for your Chromebook and you can install different apps and more apps found at
the Chrome Web Store many of these apps actually run offline and this is the webstore app you can
find thousands of different apps such as Microsoft Word Excel PowerPoint even onedrive is found there
as well as a host of other applications that actually run offline that means they can run
even when you don't have the internet remember to find all these wonderful apps to simply click on
the web store and then search from there back to the unboxing and this is a nice cloth there
ok first impressions I got a plastic base here and then this top and as the sound indicates
is made of plastic now this laptop does have an aluminum chassis as you can see here around the
edges and also around the keyboard so I'm going to charge this up first and that's really easy
to do you just simply plug in this USB type-c into the port there on the side and then plug
this into your wall after about an hour so it should be charged up and ready to go now moving
on to other first impressions for this laptop I do like the aluminum around the keyboard and
around the palm rest here I wish it was aluminum on the top and around in the bottom and everything
else but at least it has some aluminum now the keyboard here is backlit so that's kind of nice
so there's a picture of it while it looks like at night the keys feel good and they don't feel mushy
when you type into them or anything like that and I have been doing a lot of my typing work
with it and so far everything has been great as far as the keyboard is concerned the display is
very bright and crisp or if you can see that on my webcam but it is very bright there and clear
now I did take this to my 8 plus certification class and I have all my students look at it and
they all looked at the screen and this is an IPS display by the way with touch screens you
all noticed that it's very bright and clear and they gave it a 9 out of 10 as far as everything
is concerned there and I have compared it to all the other Chromebooks and laptops that I
have and actually this is the brightest and the best as far as clarity of all of the Samsung
Acer and HP Chromebooks that I have the touch screen aspect is really nice very responsive
I can zoom in or zoom out they're going above the display is the webcam and that is
a high-definition webcam and it's better than the previous models of Asus Chromebooks I've
had tested before the battery here says that'll last 12 hours but on every one of the recharging
cycles I've been able to get back teeth between 13 and 15 hours of use and that is with using
it to watch Pluto TV YouTube as well as doing my work with my documentation such as typing up my
books and doing my lessons so it is actually a very good battery in here going on to the ports
we have a Kingston lock USB 3.0 type C or charging as well as for connecting to data drives and then
we also have the standard USB type 3.0 then on the other side we have the headphone jack micro
SD card reader USB 3.0 type a and then another USD type 3.0 type C now that we've looked and
read on the outside of the case let's go internal now and look at the CPU so what I've done is I've
opened up the browser and I've gone to this right here Chrome and then system so I can
look at the system details once you're there if I go ctrl F that opens up to fine and this look
at the CPU by typing that in and we have the Intel 4200 running at one point one gigahertz
now that would be a rather slow processor if you're running Windows or something like that
but within the Chrome OS this is actually a very fast machine and here we see the results from CPU
Benchmark.net on these processors on the top one there we see the Acer Chromebook 15 Miss
scores 2017 that's the one that we're testing today and over one is the Acer Chromebook 15
cb3 and that one scored only 953 without older process sir here we see the results with our new
acer Chromebook 15 against the Acer Chromebook 15 cb5 now here again it beats the score with
2017 versus 1544 for the older one now down to memory the amount around that this machine has is
four gigs of ram and then it has internally a 32 gig solid state drive I haven't had a chance yet
to take this apart to see if I can upgrade the hard drive or the memory but that will be in a
later video by the way that previous segment was all done on this Chromebook now one of
the nicest things about this new laptop is that runs Android apps in full screen so let's check
it out and go into my apps here and let me try slash your plans it's a very common Android app
there you go as you see I'm actually playing there just fine as if I was on my cell phone or tablet
now I've played the Android as well as see my other apps running too so if I press this
key above the six I see that I'm also working on a document well now for the next part the
one-week review of this machine first off the pros I really like the battery life on every
charge have been able to get longer than 12 hours so that's excellent next the keyboard
it has a really good feel to it and I do a lot typing in my work where I'm typing my lessons
typing up my books and this is perfect because I don't have to plug in an external keyboard the
next Pro is the displays an IPS display with a very good touch screen it's very responsive
and good amount of brightness and clarity all in all I really love my new Chromebook I would
give it really I would give it a score of at least nine out of 10 for everything it's very
much worth the cost of $400 and you can find that now at Amazon so if you're watching this
on youtube please give it a thumbs up and share the video thank you again and bye bye
