00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:14.639
today I have an assus notebook to unbox

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:16.520
this is a Blu-ray notebook PC which is

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

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

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:26.760
say for the whoa hey usually when I pull

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

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

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

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.559
Blu-ray Drive Windows uh Windows Home

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:52.480
Premium a windows7 Home Premium oh man that was difficult and what else do we

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:58.399
have to oh it's got the ASUS accidental damage warranty so remember ASUS's

00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:00.680
warranty is second to is topnotch

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:06.760
basically what they're able to do is they actually offer accidental damage

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:09.200
warranty by default on some of their

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:14.240
notebook SKS including this one so that means apparently water electrical fire

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:19.040
or even if the screen gets busted up according to the little pictures on the

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

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:30.640
included and not a whole lot in terms of accessories we've got the

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:32.200
battery let's open that baby up okay

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.840
battery looks a little something like that oo shiny all right next we have the

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:43.040
power adapter which is kind of standard pretty

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:47.280
small that's good and then we have a power cord which goes with the power

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:51.680
adapter all right having a look at the notebook

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:59.399
itself it seems like pretty standard fair for a 15.6 in Notebook all right so

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:02.159
the overall thickness is just about like

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:06.719
that so hold up the iPhone 4 uh for comparison someone actually questioned

00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:10.599
my iPhone 4 size comparison something like blah blah blah we know you have an

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

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:19.480
of size how it compares to something that everyone knows that's the point so

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.680
there's the iPhone 4 comparison against the notebook itself you can see the top

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

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:33.440
shiny ASUS logo on the back okay the B is pretty uh pretty

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.879
normal I'd say there's nothing exceptional about the bottom of the

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

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

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.720
drive or anything like that you have full access to it it is not blocked off

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.200
in any way by warranty void if removed stickers so that's really nice if you

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

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.000
notebook before we open it up so here this looks like vents or speakers or

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

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

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.599
our Blu-ray Drive a USB port we have an

00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:19.799
SDHC reader we've got gigabit Ethernet and then our power in moving to the back

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

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

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.879
pipe heat sink cooler you can see the heat pipe in there carrying the heat

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

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:41.480
older projectors and whatnot HDMI out two more USB 2.0 mic and headphones so

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

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:54.079
let that slide all right so let's go ahead and uh

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:58.680
take the plastic off so very very glossy finish overall to the unit here so you

00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:02.360
can see that glossy battery matches the finish on The Notebook itself and then

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

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

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

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

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:23.560
have a look at the features that it's talking about right over here so smart

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:27.160
power management their power for gear uh software has been out for a long time

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.600
works great facial recognition log on and palm proof technology so it's to

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:35.960
prevent you from from accidentally moving the mouse around while you are

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

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:45.160
at the keyboard layout overall very very sensible layout see we

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:49.919
have full length shift key full length backspace key full length enter full

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:55.639
length shift oh nice big control that's an interesting design choice right there

00:04:52.039 --> 00:04:58.120
our arrow keys are arranged correctly so

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

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:08.160
handy thumbs up isus for getting the keyboard pretty much bang on right with

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

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:15.360
off your wireless brightness up down turn the screen off switch to external

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.840
turn off the touchpad mute volume down volume up all your standard Fair the

00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:24.120
only thing I'd say might be missing would be uh media control keys but that

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

00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:33.680
there they are aha function and arrows is your med control so there's lots of

00:05:30.919 --> 00:05:38.639
good function keys so when you oh okay yes the click thing here oh it has

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:44.360
plastic over it so it's probably shiny once we

00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:48.400
uh can get that come on once we get it

00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:50.759
removed there we go oo shiny see very

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:56.960
shiny okay uh so yeah you've got a few different options for languages so you

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:58.080
know Portuguese French English what else

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

00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:06.880
actually is this supposed to be English yeah okay this is actually for one of

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.800
cameraman's relatives so he's uh helping

00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:14.000
