1
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:14,639
today I have an assus notebook to unbox

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,520
this is a Blu-ray notebook PC which is

3
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:19,640
actually pretty good for the price point that we're looking at here so I'm just

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,680
going to go ahead and start opening this up actually let's see what ASUS has to

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,760
say for the whoa hey usually when I pull

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,359
on this it pulls like the whole notebook out but nope not today all right let's

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:38,280
see what assus has to say for themselves this is the a52f xt22 it's a 15.6 in HD

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:44,840
notebook with a last generation core i 5480 4 gigs of RAM 500 gigs hard drive a

9
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:47,559
Blu-ray Drive Windows uh Windows Home

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:52,480
Premium a windows7 Home Premium oh man that was difficult and what else do we

11
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:58,399
have to oh it's got the ASUS accidental damage warranty so remember ASUS's

12
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:00,680
warranty is second to is topnotch

13
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:06,760
basically what they're able to do is they actually offer accidental damage

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,200
warranty by default on some of their

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:14,240
notebook SKS including this one so that means apparently water electrical fire

16
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:19,040
or even if the screen gets busted up according to the little pictures on the

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,320
side of the Box all right so let's have a look at the accessories that are

18
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:30,640
included and not a whole lot in terms of accessories we've got the

19
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,200
battery let's open that baby up okay

20
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,840
battery looks a little something like that oo shiny all right next we have the

21
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,040
power adapter which is kind of standard pretty

22
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:47,280
small that's good and then we have a power cord which goes with the power

23
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,680
adapter all right having a look at the notebook

24
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:59,399
itself it seems like pretty standard fair for a 15.6 in Notebook all right so

25
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:02,159
the overall thickness is just about like

26
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:06,719
that so hold up the iPhone 4 uh for comparison someone actually questioned

27
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,599
my iPhone 4 size comparison something like blah blah blah we know you have an

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:15,120
iPhone 4 get over it yeah that's really not the point the point is just in terms

29
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,480
of size how it compares to something that everyone knows that's the point so

30
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,680
there's the iPhone 4 comparison against the notebook itself you can see the top

31
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:28,160
of it actually has kind of a nice finish on it with little sort of lines and a

32
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:33,440
shiny ASUS logo on the back okay the B is pretty uh pretty

33
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,879
normal I'd say there's nothing exceptional about the bottom of the

34
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:42,159
notebook you've got a nice big access panel so if you do have to let's go

35
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:45,200
ahead and throw the battery in so if you do have to upgrade your RAM or hard

36
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,720
drive or anything like that you have full access to it it is not blocked off

37
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,200
in any way by warranty void if removed stickers so that's really nice if you

38
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,800
want to make little upgrades there so let's have a look at the outside of the

39
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
notebook before we open it up so here this looks like vents or speakers or

40
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:06,680
something I don't know some see some of these have holes that go all the way through and some of them don't so not

41
00:03:05,239 --> 00:03:12,760
going to not going to question it at a certain level all right let's move around to the other side where we have

42
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:15,599
our Blu-ray Drive a USB port we have an

43
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:19,799
SDHC reader we've got gigabit Ethernet and then our power in moving to the back

44
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,040
of the notebook it's got a long battery at the back so there's no ports on the

45
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,760
back to speak of on the other side we have a Kensington lock we have a heat

46
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,879
pipe heat sink cooler you can see the heat pipe in there carrying the heat

47
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:36,200
away from the CPU we have VGA out which I still do like to see it's handy for

48
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:41,480
older projectors and whatnot HDMI out two more USB 2.0 mic and headphones so

49
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:46,319
it doesn't have USB 3 but this is more of a value positioned notebook so I'll

50
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:54,079
let that slide all right so let's go ahead and uh

51
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:58,680
take the plastic off so very very glossy finish overall to the unit here so you

52
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:02,360
can see that glossy battery matches the finish on The Notebook itself and then

53
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,720
there's a glossy screen with a glossy border so I decided to turn it on cuz my

54
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,519
battery is died on my camera so I press the button over here and then it turns

55
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:15,519
on uh let's have a look at the overall layout so we have a multi-touch pad here

56
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,199
ooh apparently it has facial recognition log on so that's kind of cool here let's

57
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:23,560
have a look at the features that it's talking about right over here so smart

58
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,160
power management their power for gear uh software has been out for a long time

59
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,600
works great facial recognition log on and palm proof technology so it's to

60
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,960
prevent you from from accidentally moving the mouse around while you are

61
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:39,880
typing see with your palm like like this like that okay so let's have a look

62
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:45,160
at the keyboard layout overall very very sensible layout see we

63
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:49,919
have full length shift key full length backspace key full length enter full

64
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:55,639
length shift oh nice big control that's an interesting design choice right there

65
00:04:52,039 --> 00:04:58,120
our arrow keys are arranged correctly so

66
00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:03,400
that is to say like a desktop keyboard and it does have a full number pad very

67
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:08,160
handy thumbs up isus for getting the keyboard pretty much bang on right with

68
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:11,639
this one so function keys up here you can put it to sleep you can turn on or

69
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:15,360
off your wireless brightness up down turn the screen off switch to external

70
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,840
turn off the touchpad mute volume down volume up all your standard Fair the

71
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:24,120
only thing I'd say might be missing would be uh media control keys but that

72
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:29,160
should be okay shouldn't be the end of the world one way or the other oh no

73
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:33,680
there they are aha function and arrows is your med control so there's lots of

74
00:05:30,919 --> 00:05:38,639
good function keys so when you oh okay yes the click thing here oh it has

75
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:44,360
plastic over it so it's probably shiny once we

76
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:48,400
uh can get that come on once we get it

77
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:50,759
removed there we go oo shiny see very

78
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:56,960
shiny okay uh so yeah you've got a few different options for languages so you

79
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,080
know Portuguese French English what else

80
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,600
I don't know some other ones that I don't recognize there we go so oh

81
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:06,880
actually is this supposed to be English yeah okay this is actually for one of

82
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:09,800
cameraman's relatives so he's uh helping

83
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:14,000
