so today I'm going to be unboxing a pretty cool product that sort of arrived
in the mail for NC use this is an ET 2400 series allinone PC from ASUS and
I'm actually going to open this up and then we're going to throw it over on the
test bench once I've got it all opened up so we can find out what the specs of
this machine are because right now all I know is the series I don't know how much
RAM it has I don't know how big the hard drive is all that good stuff like what
kind of CPU is installed so just going to do what I do and that is uh I'm just
going to break seals and show you guys the product and then we will go from
there so I broke the seal and now I'm
showing you guys uh oh here's a warranty card so they put that somewhere where
you'll definitely find it there we go
and why don't we find out what kind of warranty we have on this particular
all-in-one PC from missuse well there you can fill that in there's your serial
number that's handy uh warranty conditions 12 months oh okay no no for
example 12 months means 24 12 months
okay oh here we go so Aus will provide warranty service for any more than three
bright dots or five dark dots so that is
on the LCD so that's bright pixels or dead
pixels um okay
neat keep going and we've got some foam
so give me a second I'm just going to unpack this and then we'll go from
there okay accessory wise uh oh it comes
packed in a nice closed cell foam so very very very durable shipping material
this is one of my favorites personally uh let's see what we got for accessories
so first things first we got this that
appears to be an IR sensor okay plugs in
via USB good next we have what appears
to be a mouse yeah just your average wired Mount
well not average I mean it's quite small I have small hands and this is a small
Mouse see look look at that I mean these are
my fingers look how short my fingers are okay so there's that next we have a
power cord which is your standard notebook style power cord and then we
have a power brick now for this one I'm going to whip out the iPhone yeah yeah
cameraman's trying to give me his iPhone but I have an iPhone now too smart guy
yeah okay fine we'll use your iPhone okay so that is how big it is compared
to an iPhone okay and that is how thick
it is compared to an iPhone this is a big old power brick be happy that this
is not for your laptop because it weighs like 60 lb well no it doesn't weigh 60
lb but it's heavy since this is a desktop PC though it's not really that
big of a concern well it's not a big concern at all next we have some kind of
a remote which if we put this on demo in the store someone will surely steal
within a matter of minutes not that I'm saying that that's an invitation to
steal it because it's really inconvenient when people do that by the
way but it will happen and for whatever reason it takes three batteries three
AAA batteries I mean who has three AAA batteries really I've never seen a media
center remote that takes three batteries or AAA
batteries I'm a big fan of double a batteries because they're common and
cheap and I like things that are
cheap there we go okay so it's got all your standard media oh it lights look at
that whole thing is illuminated oh okay won went away yeah
yeah press the button go there okay that's nice that's nice that maybe
that's why it takes three batteries maybe that's what the extra battery is for power the light okay next we have a
keyboard pretty run-of-the-mill keyboard I would probably recommend getting a
different keyboard and mouse if you're going to use this for any sort of extended period of time throughout the
day all right now let's do this a I'm
ripping off plastic
success lots of plastic this is the all-in-one PC itself
and we now get our first hint as to what is the spec of this machine because
there are stickers on the front that indicate to us some of those
specifications so first of all we can see that it runs Windows 7 next we can
see that it has an Intel Core i5 processor which basically means that it
rocks okay okay and we have NVIDIA GeForce 310m 512 Meg Graphics which
basically means that it is uh capable of playing like HD videos back which the
core I 5 would anyway it is energy star compliant it comes with some kind of uh
pre-installed trial of Office 2010 okay
over here we have ooh Distortion free
audio base enhancement immersive surround sound so they're calling this
Sonic master that is for Crystal Pure surround reproduction it is fine-tuned
for original recording production and then here there's a little bubble that
has like some waves like real sound which is uh yellow and then before
tuning which is green which clearly we off and then after tuning which is very
close to the yellow so close to real sound excellent okay you can actually
see the Soundbar here at the bottom of
the screen so it's quite large actually look at that so the Soundbar goes all
the way across the entire bottom of the all-in-one PC up here at the top we have
a webcam okay we have a webcam and then
over here we have an accurate multi-touch
screen yeah I don't know what that's for we'll figure that out later uh okay so
it has an accurate multi-touch screen HDMI in so you can play HD content from
your notebook or other multimedia devices that's pretty neat that's something that I often feel is missing
from notebooks or from all-in-one PCS is the ability to plug something else into
it and use it as a monitor should you so desire you can easily upgrade the memory
and it supports their performance uh 15% super Hybrid engine basically means you
can turn the performance up it's kind of like overclocking okay let's look around
at the back of the all-in-one PC where
we find some ventilation so there's clearly an aluminum heat sink here as
well as one over here on the other side I can't don't know if you can see where
I'm pointing yes you can all right and that's where we have ventilation coming
from here's our easy memory upgrade panel I'm just going to take the plastic
off there very very very shiny finish overall on this all-in-one PC so if
you're down with shiny you are down with
this allinone PC very very shiny okay let's have a look at what we've got on
the side in terms of inputs and outputs and all that kind of stuff we have our
DVD multi recorder we have a power
button uh volume up menu and volume down
going to go ahead and turn this
around okay and then on the other side we have two USB ports headphones
microphone and a multicard reader here
on the back under the easy memory slot
which I'm just going to oh is that even the easy memory slot well how the devil
does this work hold on a
minute that doesn't seem very easy at
all okay guys feel free to post comments and let me know how oh I think I get it
I get it there's a screw here so you undo this screw and then you pull out
this tab and then you have access to the memory cuz this seems too easy for a
toddler curious toddler to come along take this off and like and like eat your
memory if it if there wasn't another metal plate there so I get it now okay
and down here we've got four more USB ports a Kensington lock antenna
VGA okay HDMI in uh gigabit Ethernet as
well as power in so let's go plug this baby in and see what it's all
about all right so we're finally booted up to the desktop it did take a little
while but it got itself all initialized up and all that good stuff so let's have
a look at what comes pre-installed on
the ASUS all-in-one PC that we're looking at today so there's the super
Hybrid engine so that's our oh UAC is
kicking in here we go super Hybrid engine is okay we got some more UAC
going on something about easy update uh
let's do that later cancel okay yeah I want to exit the program okay super
Hybrid engine here we go after press okay system will be rebooted to make
your change okay no I don't want to reboot right now okay we've also got Trend Micro titanium assus Sonic Master
which is something to do with the uh sound evidently okay you can either use
the internal laptop speakers or probably something else if you plug
it in but right now you can't so vocal Clarity surround base adaptive volume
lower high okay interesting okay next we have the vibe Fun Center ooh actually
let's get back to that later because that sounds fun okay we got web storage we got Triple E cam so that's our webcam
Triple E Cinema which is evidently some kind of media player software okay so
videos okay you can add stuff to your library movies music o you memo and
there's a little smiley face cool oh yeah right okay so I can write a
memo yeah yeah okay so can oh hold on
select the memo pad background sure let's go with pink okay oh and then I
can select this kind of marker oh open the cover open okay I can select uh okay
let's go with this kind of marker okay
ra
man
ma yeah okay so I can clear all or I can
erase oh yeah erasing doesn't work very well I highly recommend not using that
eraser because it works like a real eraser which is not very effective oh
you can choose all kinds of different colors though for your markers which is kind of neat even gray and black you can
use like a this kind of thing okay so let's exit that so there's our memo pad
okay we have E paint which is probably again some kind of touchscreen based
thing ooh this looks fun so I can put in a truck no yeah there we go and then I
can like color it and stuff I got my crayon I got my green so I'm going to
make a green truck yeah if you have kids I'm sure this will be
like a big hit and then they can print it out and waste all your toner and ink
and then you'll be really happy but still come on that's pretty cool pretty
cool okay so I made myself a green and red truck no I don't think I want to
save those changes yeah we're not going to be saving those changes okay game
partk console sorry we're just I'm just looking at all of the stuff that comes
pre-installed here guys so why don't why don't I talk to you about the overall
spec of the machine a little bit as well let's find out what the overall spec is
oh I don't know how to right click with the uh tou pad so let's just go ahead and do this okay so this is a core i5
650 so it's at 3.2 GHz that is a dual
core Core i5 so we have 4 gigs of RAM uh
in terms of our video card I think we already mentioned this before but is a
GeForce 310 M 512 Meg and so we've got
our uh NVIDIA control panel here that's pretty much your basic specs what do we
have in terms of storage yeah don't worry I'll have a look at that in a
minute uh oh right wrong thing let's go
computer so in terms of storage we have a 500 gig Drive in here by the look of
things what's this okay so we got e sharing fun touch e experience e tools
why don't we do e sharing what's E share web storage okay emuse okay so this is
basically just quick links to the stuff that we've already been having a look at
here so the paint Journal Sonic Master
Okay cool so you can pretty much get rid of all those desktop shortcuts and just
use this so game Park okay let's not worry too much about game park right now
now I want to go back to this one I am all about the vibe Fun Center because
that sounds pretty good A okay back in a
sec all right so this is what we find so
there's something about music you you know local artist Carrie Underwood I
really don't think she's a local artist where I'm from but that's okay uh we got
games we got radio so I can listen to like local top 40 stations and all that
kind of stuff okay learning Dr Chinese
Elementary Chinese one Aya oh okay I'm probably pronouncing
that wrong okay there's lots of Chinese lessons here why don't we try action
chicken Invaders 3 let's try playing this game okay give me a sec I'll see
how long it loads okay so far the sound seems pretty
good here I'm just in the uh demo mode so this is chicken Invaders revenge of
the Yol why don't we go with uh start new Mission here okay and there's a fork
there's a fork for the pointer so
oh nice nice okay so this is just a a 60-minute demo basically but you use
your mouse to you know do this so basically this is a way for your
kids to download stuff on your
computer and that you'll have to remove later for the most
part oh you can eat all like the burgers and like chicken wings I don't know why
Burgers come out of the chicken when you blow it up but
uh okay you can tap the fire button for single shots or hold it for continuous
fire that is a death star with a
Yol and that is some good taunting going on okay I think we're done um so thank
