ASUS accidental damage warranty so remember ASUS's warranty is second to is topnotch basically what they're able to do is they actually offer accidental damage warranty by default on some of their notebook SKS including this one so that means apparently water electrical fire or even if the screen gets busted up according to the little pictures on the side of the Box all right so let's have a look at the accessories that are included and not a whole lot in terms of accessories we've got the battery let's open that baby up okay battery looks a little something like that oo shiny all right next we have the power adapter which is kind of standard pretty small that's good and then we have a power cord which goes with the power adapter all right having a look at the notebook itself it seems like pretty standard fair for a 15.6 in Notebook all right so the overall thickness is just about like that so hold up the iPhone 4 uh for comparison someone actually questioned my iPhone 4 size comparison something like blah blah blah we know you have an iPhone 4 get over it yeah that's really not the point the point is just in terms of size how it compares to something that everyone knows that's the point so there's the iPhone 4 comparison against the notebook itself you can see the top of it actually has kind of a nice finish on it with little sort of lines and a shiny ASUS logo on the back okay the B is pretty uh pretty normal I'd say there's nothing exceptional about the bottom of the notebook you've got a nice big access panel so if you do have to let's go ahead and throw the battery in so if you do have to upgrade your RAM or hard drive or anything like that you have full access to it it is not blocked off in any way by warranty void if removed stickers so that's really nice if you want to make little upgrades there so let's have a look at the outside of the notebook before we open it up so here this looks like vents or speakers or something I don't know some see
