1
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:15,879
this is a very exciting product from isus it is the brown box actually this

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:22,039
is an Eco box which is why it's brown it contains 80% post consumer materials and

3
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:26,480
100% recyclable cardboard which actually this is an important distinction because

4
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:30,800
uh lots of things say made from recyclable or recycled materials but

5
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:36,280
actually aren't made of very much recycled materials so this is the ET

6
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:40,680
2410 which is part of a new series of all-in-one PCS from ASUS some of the

7
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,480
highlights are going to be the overall build quality which obviously I haven't

8
00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:50,039
opened it yet but based on ASUS's materials they're saying it's pretty

9
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:54,920
darn fine the metal stand which is part of the uh build quality discussion the

10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:00,519
updated specs so these are Next Generation or second generation standy

11
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:03,719
Bridge processor parts and

12
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,760
the Slick design of the units themselves

13
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:08,479
now the one I have today is the et2410

14
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,119
which is the 24 in actually here I'll just show you this slide because you

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:18,439
guys might benefit from it so there's also the ET 2700 series which is 27 in

16
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:20,799
includes dedicated NVIDIA GTX Graphics

17
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:26,079
it has a blu-ray combo drive and 10-point multitouch okay the 2400 is

18
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:30,360
multitouch and has this one hold on let me just check the spec of our unit

19
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:35,759
anyway it's a higher spec than than the 22in model which is the most value

20
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:42,320
oriented option out of the ones available so here let's have a look at the spec of our unit so this is a core

21
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:44,439
i5 2310 so this is the higher end one it

22
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:50,079
has Windows 7 Home Premium 6 gigs of RAM a 1 tbyte Drive Wireless N with

23
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:54,600
Bluetooth and it is a 23.6 in touchcreen as I mentioned before it uses the

24
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:59,079
integrated Intel Graphics which isn't necessarily a bad thing because Intel

25
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Graphics ever since they released sandybridge

26
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:07,679
aren't nearly

27
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:11,520
as much of a bottleneck as they used to

28
00:02:07,679 --> 00:02:14,720
be all right so why don't we have a look

29
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,360
at the included accessories first before

30
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:23,080
we take a closer look at the all-in-one so here we go

31
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,400
included accessories we have a wireless mouse all right thanks for that ASUS

32
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:32,160
it's got kind of a rubberized grippy feel to it all right's throw that in

33
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:36,519
there we have a monstrous power brick remember this is not intended to be like

34
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:41,280
super portable so it's fine that it's a little on the heavy side there for size

35
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:47,879
comparison is the iPhone 4 there you go guys all right next we have a power

36
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:53,080
cable which plugs into that power brick so I'll take that out and that's it for

37
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:58,200
the things in here kind of a neat shaped box there you go see has kind of a shape

38
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:05,040
to it and finally I think this is a keyboard yep we got a keyboard

39
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,720
as well as a dongle which is for

40
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,840
something oh you know what it's probably for the mouse and keyboard and batteries

41
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,560
for the mouse and keyboard so here let's have a quick look at the keyboard itself

42
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:23,239
wow it's quite heavy actually it doesn't feel like those uh sort of

43
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,879
more less expensively manufactured ones

44
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:29,080
that often come with these all-in-one type units it's got a little bit of flex

45
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:33,760
to it but the overall feel is quite nice it's got some weight to it which is nice

46
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:38,599
to see it's a chicklet style keyboard um nothing nothing particularly out you

47
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,560
know outrageous to do with the layout here so it's got a nice long shift key

48
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:46,360
it's got a full length tab full length backspace and full length enter so

49
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,879
that's really good to see because it means that you will be able to reach all

50
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:56,200
of the keys the way that you're normally used to we got a warranty card

51
00:03:52,079 --> 00:03:57,760
included all right and then next we have

52
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,519
a quick start guide which is right here and seems to

53
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,599
be fairly straightforward in terms of the steps included adjust the angle plug

54
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:12,159
in the thing push the thing plug in that thing B those things to that thing and

55
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,760
you're ready to go all right give me a sec to get this unpacked and then we'll

56
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,639
have a look at the unit so here we are experiencing the setup process it

57
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:25,800
actually comes with a variety of different languages that you can choose

58
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:28,440
including uh Italiano France

59
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,600
espol okay I have no idea okay Portuguese and nether

60
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,720
Dutch Dutch I guess that must be Dutch okay so we are in

61
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:44,759
Canada and syncing up the uh keyboard and the mouse was actually very very

62
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,639
straightforward use a United States uh oh time and currency whoops no no

63
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,600
English English Canada keyboard layout us there we go okay so once we're booted

64
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,560
up I'll I'll I'll get this going here here we are in the setup process

65
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,440
and you want to go ahead and accept the license terms which are required to use

66
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:05,840
Windows and this one I'm not so sure about but apparently the Bing Bar I am

67
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:11,400
required to accept that license in order to uh keep going here so actually hold

68
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,360
on let's see will it let me go no I have to I have to install the Bing Bar in

69
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,840
order to get booted up here so I'm going to just hold on to my

70
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:26,520
cheat sheet here because that makes life a little bit easier for me so let's have a look at some of the design features

71
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:29,720
that the et2410 features so first thing let's have a look at the overall

72
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,479
thickness so the thickness is actually 6 CM so what's that 60 mm not bad at all

73
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,560
actually here is an iPhone this is cameraman's iPhone you can tell cuz my

74
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:44,759
Wicked uh carbon fiber sticker isn't on the back okay so there you go that's the

75
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:50,520
overall thickness of the unit and then the size this is a 23.6 in 1080P LED

76
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,479
back lit WID screen so I'm just going to show you guys sort of the approximate

77
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,840
size against the iPhone which maybe isn't that useful I think everyone knows

78
00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:03,440
how big a 20 24in class monitor is at this point in time okay so let's go

79
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:06,880
ahead and move around to let's do the back first well it goes ahead and

80
00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:13,000
installs drivers for me so there's a couple different things here first there's the metal stand so the metal

81
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:16,400
stand allows you to position it on the table wherever you so desire okay it's

82
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:20,360
got rubber feet on the bottom so it's not going to move it's actually fairly

83
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:25,680
hard to to rock back and forth so it's not going to go anywhere and then you

84
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:27,000
can also adjust the tilt of the monitor

85
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,240
or the all-in-one I guess I shouldn't say monitor because it is an all-in-one

86
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:34,960
and it is a monitor but more on that later um all the way from pointing a

87
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:38,599
little bit face down to all the way back up like this so if you're actually

88
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,880
sitting quite a bit above it like on a bar stool you'll still be fairly

89
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:46,039
comfortable using it so it's got a pretty good angle overall there okay in

90
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:49,199
terms of input and output options let's start on the side here this looks like

91
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:55,280
an optical drive but bam it's not an optical drive it's stealth to inputs and

92
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,479
uh outputs rather well both Okay so

93
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:01,800
we've got two super speed USB 3 ports an

94
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:03,960
EA port an SD slot headphones and

95
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,520
microphone jacks all on the side of the unit for ease of access now around the

96
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:12,800
back for more of your permanent fixtures we've got an additional three USB ports

97
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:16,160
one of which we're using right now for the dongle for the included wireless

98
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,919
keyboard and mouse we've got gigabit Ethernet now this is cool check this out

99
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:27,840
HDMI out which is great if you wanted to add a second monitor HDMI and VGA in

100
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,879
which is pretty darn cool if say for example okay here here's a US scenario

101
00:07:30,039 --> 00:07:37,639
for this you know what I'm going to come up with two right off the top of my head here one is let's say you have a

102
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,560
boardroom like we do at ncx and you don't have a projector in your boardroom

103
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,840
like we don't at NC and you use an Allin one PC because it's very convenient with

104
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:48,759
the touchcreen and all that like we have at NCI let's say someone brought a

105
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:53,479
laptop and they wanted to do a presentation instead of unplugging your

106
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,960
allinone and moving it and rearranging everything what you could actually do is

107
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:02,080
you could just plug it right into the HDMI or the VGA in on your in one PC in

108
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:07,199
your boardroom and you could display an output from the uh from the laptop easy

109
00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:11,319
awesome and here's another scenario let's say your all-in-one PC is outdated

110
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,680
we're talking like 3 four 5 years from now you know what you need to do the

111
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,479
latest things with your computer it's not fast enough anymore that's cool it

112
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:21,840
doesn't matter that it's not upgradeable this has always been a beef of mine with

113
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:28,199
all-in-one PCS is that you can't upgrade them well now at least it's not a

114
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:31,960
throwaway now it can still be a monitor and you have that additional computer

115
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:35,760
functionality should you so require it maybe you have the computer on at all

116
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:40,880
times for something else maybe now it's a it's like a dedicated download box or

117
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:45,200
something like that but you can use the monitor for a higher powered PC right

118
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:49,160
here is a cable management spot which the cameraman evidently missed when he

119
00:08:46,839 --> 00:08:53,680
was plugging in the power and finally we have a Kensington lock right about

120
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,560
here and I think that pretty much does it for the back so let's move around to

121
00:08:55,279 --> 00:09:00,160
the other side I'm just going to go ahead and turn it all the way around for

122
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:04,240
you guys here and there we go I don't think this is

123
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:11,079
going oh yeah it did work okay there you have it so that's a DVD multi multi

124
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:12,680
reader writer CD also multireader writer

125
00:09:11,079 --> 00:09:16,200
the higher end model comes with Blu-ray but this particular one does not and

126
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:20,560
then finally let's have a look at the front so on the front we have our

127
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:26,240
microphone in we've got our webcam we have as I mentioned before

128
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:29,560
1080p LED backlit screen which is

129
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,120
multi-touch and has no flex to it this

130
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:38,800
is critical because instead of using a flimsy plastic layer that has that

131
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,800
ripple effect and just is generally not

132
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:45,560
very desirable we've got a nice solid

133
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,800
feeling display surface that has no uh

134
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:52,120
no Ripple that you can see on flat backgrounds and just looks great and

135
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:56,240
when you press on it you actually don't see any discoloration of the screen

136
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,560
Around Your Finger which is really nice as well cuz I hate that about some multi

137
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,160
uh some touch screens when you touch them and they just go all discolored and

138
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,800
look and look horrible so let's go around to the bottom of it here if you

139
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,760
just want to come down here check out the bottom we've got our power button

140
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:17,240
here our hard drive indicator we have a volume control here a menu button volume

141
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:22,240
other more different control here and a mode button give me two seconds here

142
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:27,440
guys so we're booted up into Windows now I'm going ahead and restarting okay the

143
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:32,079
program that's not allowing us to restart is one that was going to automatically restart it in 20 seconds

144
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:36,320
so I'm not too worried about that along the Bottom bar here we have our power

145
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:40,279
button we also have our oh no I already said that we have a speaker bar along

146
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:45,720
the very very bottom with our assus logo here and we also have a Windows 7

147
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:48,000
sticker Core i5 energy star and DTS

148
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,639
surround sensation Ultra PC so let me just see if I'm missing anything uh you

149
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:56,240
know what let's have a look at the cooling so the exhaust fan is actually

150
00:10:54,079 --> 00:11:02,040
coming out of here you can see a long heat pipe that goes through a very wide

151
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,600
it actually goes from here to here um

152
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:09,079
fin array that is going to be cooling the CPU which if you guys remember is

153
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:13,480
also the GPU and let me just see if there's

154
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:17,079
anything that I am missing here okay I already mentioned it is a

155
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,920
multi-touch I already mentioned it doubles as a monitor oh yeah it has wall

156
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:25,040
mount capability so if you pull this guy off you can actually buy a wall mount

157
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:31,240
from auss and you can use it as a PO display for example so that's kind of

158
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,240
neat as well uh last but not least

159
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:37,760
least oh cool comes with ASUS web

160
00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:43,160
storage as well that's actually something that they're bundling in with a few of their products these days

161
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:46,160
including the EAD Transformer so there's

162
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:48,920
uh something that I had missed before

163
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:52,639
and okay let's just take it in then go ahead and go around to the other side

164
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:57,399
we've actually finally got it booted up fully here and uh running in the proper

165
00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:01,800
resolution so do I want to use the assus screen saver not particularly oh yeah I

166
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:07,279
really like this screen actually this is pretty good so let's go ahead and launch

167
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:11,399
e- paint here you know what I really want to do is I want to set up the

168
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:16,120
Windows 8 preview on this thing so that we can really check out how a proper

169
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:23,600
properly touchscreen optimized OS is going to run on a machine like this

170
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,680
uh so we can oh okay I'm clearly Doing

171
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,720
It Wrong let's use that and draw Green

172
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:31,519
woo oh that's very responsive actually

173
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:36,600
look at that I wonder how many how many multi- touches do we get oh I think this

174
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:39,760
app only supports uh single touch let's see yeah single touch for this

175
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,800
particular application but it's very very responsive and very very smooth you

176
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,040
can see how long it takes to trace after me that's not bad at all it's a very

177
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,639
compelling looking little setup too very clean because it comes with all the

178
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,760
wireless peripherals that you're going to need and I think that pretty much

179
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:59,720
