WEBVTT 00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:15.160 welcome to my unboxing and first look of the elite book 00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:19.160 9470m from HP this is a demo unit as 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:21.640 part of their AA hpq demo program so 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 00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:30.519 is an elite book which makes it a business class product but it is also an 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 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 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 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 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 00:00:53.239 --> 00:01:01.920 all like o my ARM's injured cuz I got in a bicycle 00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:04.280 accident as if that's an excuse actually 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 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 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 00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:24.600 days um so we're finding some pretty cool stuff in here look at that very 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:26.400 slim very small uh power adapter very 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 00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:36.960 whole other thing when it comes with like a big brick old stupid power supply 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.079 that's like big and stupid a brick so 00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:46.560 here's the included battery which is good for up to 9 hours of battery 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.280 life it's swappable which is pretty leap 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.360 if you want to sort of consider what's different about this from another Ultra 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.799 Book it also has an optional what's 00:01:53.360 --> 00:02:00.200 called a slice battery which will give 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.680 the notebook up to 19 hours of battery 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:07.439 life should you choose to install that so check out how thin this battery is 00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:11.560 very cool stuff see there's the the old iPhone size comparison very very small 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 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 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:27.000 industry Trend started by the one and only Apple computer because they're 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:29.239 awesome um that way and oh check this 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:32.080 out very cool so again business class product so it has some different options 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:38.239 that we're not used to seeing on consumer products it comes pre-installed 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:41.440 with Windows 7 Pro however it also comes 00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:42.800 with a Windows 8 Pro DVD and license so 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 00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:52.800 uninstall Windows 7 Pro then install Windows 8 Pro and you can choose which 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.920 of those two operating systems you want to use on your notebook and then you can 00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.080 even just uninstall Windows 8 and put Windows 7 back on it should you so 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.680 desire which is very very cool so so the process of installing the battery is 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.799 what we're going to do next not a lot included in terms of accessories however 00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:10.440 there's lots of optional accessories that you can get to go with it which 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.280 again makes it kind of business class because the assumption is that unlike a 00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:18.519 consumer product it doesn't need to come with everything and that business users 00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:21.840 won't necessarily mind forking out for additional accessories so it is dock 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:25.879 ready which means you can install it into DOC for additional IO and for the 00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:29.360 convenience of not having to plug and unplug your peripherals As you move 00:03:27.959 --> 00:03:34.959 around from the office to home or wherever else you need to go it also 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 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 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:50.159 this side DisplayPort and VGA VGA is still a huge Boon to business users 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:54.079 because of the fact that as you're traveling lots of boardrooms lots of 00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:57.599 presentation rooms are still using older VGA projectors and if you show up with a 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 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:08.040 so this guy will figure out in a moment full-sized Ethernet connector no sort of 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:11.720 little connector hoo-ha doad thing going on here so it should be very durable 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 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.720 nothing except a look you Packard uh no 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 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:28.520 lock exhaust that other USB 3 super speed Port that I talked about as well 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.759 as an integrated headphone microphone Jack wouldn't have minded seeing Two 00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:37.199 Jacks there if they' been able to get away with that sorry I messed that up 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.360 before guys this right here is the connector for the optional extended 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 00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:49.240 right here is actually the dot connector so I don't really use business model 00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:53.000 notebooks that much and I wasn't familiar with that thing so I'm quite 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 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 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:06.320 we have wireless power charging and disc activity LEDs let's go 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:11.199 ahead and open this bad boy up where we find a matte screen again business 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:15.840 options proper matte screen no glossy stuff going on in here we've also got a 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.960 hardware button for turning the wireless on and off as well as a hardware mute 00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:24.520 button this is a really cool indicator right here this is to tell you if your 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.600 touchpad is on or off so you can use the 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 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 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:39.120 well nice big touchpad and then you've got the option of either using buttons 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.639 here or using the mouse nipple which is in the middle of the keyboard here to 00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:47.160 navigate and then using these two buttons here for your left and right 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:51.319 click the keyboard is Led backlit you can see it's quite bright because even 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 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 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.800 so looks just um oh hold on they went 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 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 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 00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:18.840 crazy the LED backlight was on so it shines through the letters oh you can 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 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 00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:32.880 utmost Darkness so you got a fingerprint reader here which is Handy for your 00:06:30.919 --> 00:06:36.720 biometric logins and all that and whatnots and HOAs and in terms of the 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:41.759 overall layout of the keyboard it looks very strong so you got a long Enter key 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:44.360 long backspace key long shift long shift 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:50.680 and no cardinal sins committed in terms of the overall layout oh man that 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:52.599 thing's solid I love Elite books um like 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:57.120 there's there's sorry sorry for the noise guys but there's no flex 00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:01.680 whatsoever to this machine it is incredibly solidly built in spite of the 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:07.680 fact it doesn't use that unibody design that was popular popularized by uh by 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.319 our friends over at Apple just a sec which quite frankly isn't a very 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:14.560 environmentally friendly way to manufacture laptops so it's uh it's just 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 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 00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:27.599 ahead and do the obligatory thickness comparison with the iPhone 4 this is a 00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:32.400 14-in notebook so the Ultrabook standard allows it to be a little bit thicker 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:34.680 than Ultra books that are not 14 in um 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:40.120 it has a 1366 X 768 display and it is hold on let's have 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 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 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:56.759 slightly higher build quality versus the consumer grade stuff it has the trusted 00:07:54.840 --> 00:08:00.960 platform module chip embedded which gives you more security again this is a 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:04.800 very corporate or oriented feature and what's cool about this touchpad is it 00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:09.560 will never ever wear out because it is chemically etched glass unlike most 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.360 trackpads which you're using like a plastic or some kind of composite 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 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 00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:26.039 it has optional LTE support although that's not built into this particular 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 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:34.000 old hinge abuse ah 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:37.200 feels good actually feels quite solid and even the screen itself doesn't have 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 00:08:39.640 --> 00:08:46.720 iPhone comparison very thin however see how 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 00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:53.680 and really not that much very very nice 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 00:08:55.320 --> 00:09:01.480 the screen when you do that that's outstanding very very nice all right so 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:06.519 thank you guys for checking out my unboxing first look at the
