1
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:15,160
welcome to my unboxing and first look of the elite book

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:19,160
9470m from HP this is a demo unit as

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:21,640
part of their AA hpq demo program so

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,960
they sent this to me to have a look at and I'm pretty excited about it so this

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:30,519
is an elite book which makes it a business class product but it is also an

6
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:37,079
Ultra Book so this Ultra Book right here is actually less than 75 in thick and uh

7
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,559
I'm sorry I have to do the unboxing like this but slick is just sort of taking

8
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,719
his sweet time over there with some benchmarking that needs to be done so let's get these seals opened up and

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:51,160
we'll be back in a moment all right so I guilted slick into coming over here and

10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,840
actually helping me which is his job so he's pointing the camera at stuff he's

11
00:00:53,239 --> 00:01:01,920
all like o my ARM's injured cuz I got in a bicycle

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,280
accident as if that's an excuse actually

13
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,520
his ARM's really badly injured if you watch sorry it's not funny but if you

14
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:11,680
watched the live stream last week you can see it was in like a sling and stuff

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:18,360
and now I've just got him like holding the camera it's only been like 4

16
00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:24,600
days um so we're finding some pretty cool stuff in here look at that very

17
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:26,400
slim very small uh power adapter very

18
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,000
nice I mean it's one thing when you have an Ultrabook notebook uh but it's a

19
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:36,960
whole other thing when it comes with like a big brick old stupid power supply

20
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,079
that's like big and stupid a brick so

21
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:46,560
here's the included battery which is good for up to 9 hours of battery

22
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,280
life it's swappable which is pretty leap

23
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,360
if you want to sort of consider what's different about this from another Ultra

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,799
Book it also has an optional what's

25
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,200
called a slice battery which will give

26
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:02,680
the notebook up to 19 hours of battery

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,439
life should you choose to install that so check out how thin this battery is

28
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:11,560
very cool stuff see there's the the old iPhone size comparison very very small

29
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:16,040
and it's just it's phenomenally cool to me that you can just totally swap the

30
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:20,160
battery out no big deal I mean most Ultra books you can't do that love that

31
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:27,000
industry Trend started by the one and only Apple computer because they're

32
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,239
awesome um that way and oh check this

33
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,080
out very cool so again business class product so it has some different options

34
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,239
that we're not used to seeing on consumer products it comes pre-installed

35
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:41,440
with Windows 7 Pro however it also comes

36
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:42,800
with a Windows 8 Pro DVD and license so

37
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,080
what you can do is you can only install one of them at a time but you can

38
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:52,800
uninstall Windows 7 Pro then install Windows 8 Pro and you can choose which

39
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,920
of those two operating systems you want to use on your notebook and then you can

40
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,080
even just uninstall Windows 8 and put Windows 7 back on it should you so

41
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,680
desire which is very very cool so so the process of installing the battery is

42
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,799
what we're going to do next not a lot included in terms of accessories however

43
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,440
there's lots of optional accessories that you can get to go with it which

44
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,280
again makes it kind of business class because the assumption is that unlike a

45
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,519
consumer product it doesn't need to come with everything and that business users

46
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,840
won't necessarily mind forking out for additional accessories so it is dock

47
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,879
ready which means you can install it into DOC for additional IO and for the

48
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,360
convenience of not having to plug and unplug your peripherals As you move

49
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:34,959
around from the office to home or wherever else you need to go it also

50
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:40,840
has yeah that was apparently not how to do it there now we're in place yep we're

51
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:46,159
good it also has awesome IO so you've got three usb3 super speed ports two on

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:50,159
this side DisplayPort and VGA VGA is still a huge Boon to business users

53
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,079
because of the fact that as you're traveling lots of boardrooms lots of

54
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:57,599
presentation rooms are still using older VGA projectors and if you show up with a

55
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:02,959
notebook that doesn't have an analog output you're not going to be able to give your presentation

56
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:08,040
so this guy will figure out in a moment full-sized Ethernet connector no sort of

57
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,720
little connector hoo-ha doad thing going on here so it should be very durable

58
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:17,320
you've also got an SD card reader right there hiding and on the back you have

59
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,720
nothing except a look you Packard uh no

60
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:24,639
no you're not looking at that it's okay finally we've got power in Kensington

61
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,520
lock exhaust that other USB 3 super speed Port that I talked about as well

62
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:32,759
as an integrated headphone microphone Jack wouldn't have minded seeing Two

63
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:37,199
Jacks there if they' been able to get away with that sorry I messed that up

64
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,360
before guys this right here is the connector for the optional extended

65
00:04:38,919 --> 00:04:46,240
battery that gives you up to 19 hours of battery life on this thing and this guy

66
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:49,240
right here is actually the dot connector so I don't really use business model

67
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,000
notebooks that much and I wasn't familiar with that thing so I'm quite

68
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,240
sorry about that this guy over here is a smart card reader and that was where we

69
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,680
left off and I think I'm caught up now so we can move around to the front where

70
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:06,320
we have wireless power charging and disc activity LEDs let's go

71
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,199
ahead and open this bad boy up where we find a matte screen again business

72
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:15,840
options proper matte screen no glossy stuff going on in here we've also got a

73
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,960
hardware button for turning the wireless on and off as well as a hardware mute

74
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:24,520
button this is a really cool indicator right here this is to tell you if your

75
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,600
touchpad is on or off so you can use the

76
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:30,039
touchpad on or off hotkey in order to turn it on and off and then you'll

77
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,880
actually know whether it's on and off you can see it's got a very business-like layout to the inside as

78
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,120
well nice big touchpad and then you've got the option of either using buttons

79
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,639
here or using the mouse nipple which is in the middle of the keyboard here to

80
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,160
navigate and then using these two buttons here for your left and right

81
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:51,319
click the keyboard is Led backlit you can see it's quite bright because even

82
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,520
though I've got my studio lights on here it's uh very clearly illuminated I'm

83
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:01,520
going to go ahead and turn one off to give you guys an even better idea and I'll stand in the way of the other one

84
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,800
so looks just um oh hold on they went

85
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,599
away give it a sec let's wait till the machine boots up and then we'll be we'll

86
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:10,680
be good to show that off okay so I figured it out it turns off as a power

87
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:15,400
saving feature so you guys can see what it looks like normally aha see I wasn't

88
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,840
crazy the LED backlight was on so it shines through the letters oh you can

89
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,199
see the red light on the camera that's no good so it shines through the letters

90
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:28,520
as well as around the outsides of the letters so it should be very easy to find what you're working on even in the

91
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:32,880
utmost Darkness so you got a fingerprint reader here which is Handy for your

92
00:06:30,919 --> 00:06:36,720
biometric logins and all that and whatnots and HOAs and in terms of the

93
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,759
overall layout of the keyboard it looks very strong so you got a long Enter key

94
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,360
long backspace key long shift long shift

95
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:50,680
and no cardinal sins committed in terms of the overall layout oh man that

96
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,599
thing's solid I love Elite books um like

97
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,120
there's there's sorry sorry for the noise guys but there's no flex

98
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,680
whatsoever to this machine it is incredibly solidly built in spite of the

99
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:07,680
fact it doesn't use that unibody design that was popular popularized by uh by

100
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:10,319
our friends over at Apple just a sec which quite frankly isn't a very

101
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,560
environmentally friendly way to manufacture laptops so it's uh it's just

102
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:19,479
as well that hp's found a way to make a laptop not be manufactured that way and

103
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,080
still be very very solid So speaking of our friends at Apple I'm going to go

104
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:27,599
ahead and do the obligatory thickness comparison with the iPhone 4 this is a

105
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:32,400
14-in notebook so the Ultrabook standard allows it to be a little bit thicker

106
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:34,680
than Ultra books that are not 14 in um

107
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:40,120
it has a 1366 X 768 display and it is hold on let's have

108
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:47,720
a look let's see what we think of that their display shouldn't be that hard to figure out and it is not a TN panel yay

109
00:07:46,039 --> 00:07:52,440
love nonn panels I mean that's the thing you get with Elite books is you get that

110
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:56,759
slightly higher build quality versus the consumer grade stuff it has the trusted

111
00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,960
platform module chip embedded which gives you more security again this is a

112
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,800
very corporate or oriented feature and what's cool about this touchpad is it

113
00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:09,560
will never ever wear out because it is chemically etched glass unlike most

114
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,360
trackpads which you're using like a plastic or some kind of composite

115
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:18,039
surface so it doesn't feel like glass but it's a little bit cold to the touch

116
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:22,680
and it will never ever ever ever wear out which is very very very cool as well

117
00:08:20,039 --> 00:08:26,039
it has optional LTE support although that's not built into this particular

118
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:31,240
model that I'm checking out let's see how the hinge feels we'll give it the

119
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:34,000
old hinge abuse ah

120
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:37,200
feels good actually feels quite solid and even the screen itself doesn't have

121
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,159
that much Flex either check this out so it's very very thin see there's the old

122
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:46,720
iPhone comparison very thin however see how

123
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:52,000
much Flex there is there's a little bit but there's no getting away from that

124
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:53,680
and really not that much very very nice

125
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,360
let's see if there's any look at that you don't even get any discoloration on

126
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:01,480
the screen when you do that that's outstanding very very nice all right so

127
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:06,519
thank you guys for checking out my unboxing first look at the elite book
