today I have an assus notebook to unbox
this is a Blu-ray notebook PC which is
actually pretty good for the price point that we're looking at here so I'm just
going to go ahead and start opening this up actually let's see what ASUS has to
say for the whoa hey usually when I pull
on this it pulls like the whole notebook out but nope not today all right let's
see what assus has to say for themselves this is the a52f xt22 it's a 15.6 in HD
notebook with a last generation core i 5480 4 gigs of RAM 500 gigs hard drive a
Blu-ray Drive Windows uh Windows Home
Premium a windows7 Home Premium oh man that was difficult and what else do we
have to oh it's got the 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 some of these have holes that go all the way through and some of them don't so not
going to not going to question it at a certain level all right let's move around to the other side where we have
our Blu-ray Drive a USB port we have an
SDHC reader we've got gigabit Ethernet and then our power in moving to the back
of the notebook it's got a long battery at the back so there's no ports on the
back to speak of on the other side we have a Kensington lock we have a heat
pipe heat sink cooler you can see the heat pipe in there carrying the heat
away from the CPU we have VGA out which I still do like to see it's handy for
older projectors and whatnot HDMI out two more USB 2.0 mic and headphones so
it doesn't have USB 3 but this is more of a value positioned notebook so I'll
let that slide all right so let's go ahead and uh
take the plastic off so very very glossy finish overall to the unit here so you
can see that glossy battery matches the finish on The Notebook itself and then
there's a glossy screen with a glossy border so I decided to turn it on cuz my
battery is died on my camera so I press the button over here and then it turns
on uh let's have a look at the overall layout so we have a multi-touch pad here
ooh apparently it has facial recognition log on so that's kind of cool here let's
have a look at the features that it's talking about right over here so smart
power management their power for gear uh software has been out for a long time
works great facial recognition log on and palm proof technology so it's to
prevent you from from accidentally moving the mouse around while you are
typing see with your palm like like this like that okay so let's have a look
at the keyboard layout overall very very sensible layout see we
have full length shift key full length backspace key full length enter full
length shift oh nice big control that's an interesting design choice right there
our arrow keys are arranged correctly so
that is to say like a desktop keyboard and it does have a full number pad very
handy thumbs up isus for getting the keyboard pretty much bang on right with
this one so function keys up here you can put it to sleep you can turn on or
off your wireless brightness up down turn the screen off switch to external
turn off the touchpad mute volume down volume up all your standard Fair the
only thing I'd say might be missing would be uh media control keys but that
should be okay shouldn't be the end of the world one way or the other oh no
there they are aha function and arrows is your med control so there's lots of
good function keys so when you oh okay yes the click thing here oh it has
plastic over it so it's probably shiny once we
uh can get that come on once we get it
removed there we go oo shiny see very
shiny okay uh so yeah you've got a few different options for languages so you
know Portuguese French English what else
I don't know some other ones that I don't recognize there we go so oh
actually is this supposed to be English yeah okay this is actually for one of
cameraman's relatives so he's uh helping
me get things right while I set it up here and I think that's pretty much it
