00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,719
welcome to an unboxing of a product that's been through the war zone a

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,199
little bit however the internal carton is not in rough shape but we do need

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:23,400
this outside one so we can just cover the specs so this is the Samsung 900 x4b

4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:31,119
this is an ultra book but it is a 15in LED backlit 400 nit non- glossy display

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,120
where Samsung is also claiming a 100 70°

6
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:36,680
viewing angle so this is a very premium Ultrabook this is in their nine Series

7
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:41,239
so you know it's not going to come cheap it comes with a dual core i5 which can

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:48,000
turbo up to 2.3 GHz it also has 8 gigs of memory a 128 gig SSD and all your

9
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:53,359
usual Wireless connectivity including Wireless N Bluetooth and Y Dy or

10
00:00:51,360 --> 00:01:00,199
wireless display so here's the internal carton which uses a nice matte black uh

11
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:02,559
finish and silver Samsung Series 9

12
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:07,560
lettering you got like the rainbow reflective thing imig okay let's open it

13
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:12,280
up uh inside we find a power

14
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:16,360
cable a notebook this has been unboxed before I apologize guys I'm re unboxing

15
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:21,360
this particular product let's see what we got in here

16
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:26,920
probably some manuals and Driver discs and ooh a microfiber

17
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,680
cloth can never have enough of these

18
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,640
system recovery media okay get started

19
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:37,560
guide of like Windows or Google you can just use Google to research how to use

20
00:01:36,119 --> 00:01:42,680
Microsoft products cuz they're best of friends these days uh users's guide

21
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,960
essential guide okay there we go let's go ahead and put all that back in there

22
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,840
we are pretty much done with the documentation it has a one-ear warranty

23
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:58,880
and it comes with a little adapter what's this guy for M uh there we go so

24
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,719
that is oh okay it's just a micro USB to

25
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:05,520
Ethernet adapter it's that it comes with that cuz some laptop manufacturers make

26
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,840
you buy the adapter for the uh for the low profile ports which I think is sort

27
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:15,160
of ludicrous if you're going to build the port into the laptop you might as well make it so I can use it we have wow

28
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,120
look at that that is a very very Sleek

29
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,080
uh power brick and check that out that's a Windows COA I haven't seen one like

30
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:26,560
that before it's on the power brick itself instead of on the

31
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,959
laptop wow interesting

32
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,239
okay slick apparently thinks that's not a very good idea

33
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:36,760
um I'm sort of with them on that one CU a power brick is a lot easier to lose

34
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:41,640
and not lose the laptop than it is to lose a laptop and like still need your

35
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,920
Co-op for something so um anyway it is

36
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:48,959
ah yes so now we get into the I mean check this out we have to do the iPhone

37
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:56,040
comparison because when we have something that is as Slim and Sleek as

38
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:58,280
this check that out so it is only 58 in

39
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:03,239
thin at the edge that's the reason for needing the lowprofile pork for the uh

40
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:09,680
for Wired networking because there just isn't enough room to build in a

41
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:13,799
full-size RJ45 port on this notebook

42
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:16,120
over what was it over 30,000 hours that

43
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:20,720
is labor hours man hours went into the design of the aluminum unibody shell

44
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:25,080
that Samsung is using for this notebook now this is a 15in notebook which means

45
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,680
that in spite of the fact that you are using an Ultrabook you are not going to

46
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,920
be limited in terms of your screen real estate or your res resolution it uses a

47
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,879
1600x 900 screen and as I mentioned

48
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:40,159
before it is a high brightness uh here we go so we'll show you the uh actually

49
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,239
let's wait till it gets booted up although Samsung claims it boots up in

50
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:47,640
less than 15 seconds which I think we're pretty much uh can we can say is

51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,760
verified now check that out that was the entire boot time from uh from start to

52
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:57,319
finish wow that's actually really cool so I'd say the uh the side by side

53
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,760
viewing angle is significantly better than the up down viewing angle however

54
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:05,640
screen overall looks pretty good and

55
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:12,239
my let's see did I say the resolution already yeah, 1600 by 900 okay so it's a

56
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:13,920
15in 1600 by 900 it is extremely thin so

57
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:17,959
we're going to do the iPhone comparison here again just to show you guys how

58
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:22,120
skinny the top of this notebook is the overall build of it though feels

59
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,000
excellent like you guys can see that in spite of its thinness here I'll show you

60
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:32,160
how much Flex there is to the design almost nothing here and then on the

61
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,080
keyboard itself self I mean I can't I

62
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:39,000
can't do almost anything a plastic shell like triple the thickness of this one

63
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:43,479
wouldn't have that kind of rigidity even if it's a really well-designed one the

64
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:46,919
keyboard uses a chicklet style and this is not a bilingual keyboard although if

65
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,440
you buy it in Canada iect there's a I suspect there's a chance you'll you'll

66
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:55,000
get a bilingual keyboard you've got a very very large touchpad so that's

67
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:59,120
really nice to see um yeah I guess that's I mean what else

68
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:04,360
is there to really say ventilation holes are here there's your cooling fan

69
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:04,360
although it's not even spinning right

70
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,880
now oh there's one fan spinning in there somewhere but it's incredibly quiet

71
00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:16,600
right okay so here let's let's finish let's show okay right right right right right IO and all that okay here we go so

72
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:23,479
on this side we have our power in as well as USB 2 headphone microphone mini

73
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:28,360
HDMI or is that micro HDMI that's micro HDMI I think very small HDMI okay and

74
00:05:26,039 --> 00:05:32,360
there's that network adapter Port dad there's a microphone in so it actually

75
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:37,600
has a built-in microphone for you know webcamming it up there's your

76
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:44,120
webcam don't worry trust me it's there uh two USB 3.0 ports as well as hold

77
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,440
on sorry guys yep that is a VGA out so

78
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:54,840
you will need an adapter for that one uh also we have an SD card reader that's

79
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,560
kind of nice fulls size SD card reader under a little flap here so I just want

80
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:04,240
to make a few comments on the overall build quality of the notebook this is significantly better than the other two

81
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:09,479
ultra books that we took a look at um on my NC Tech tips channel the Zenbook as

82
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:14,280
well as the MacBook Air it just feels really really really solid the hinge

83
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,800
feels good too I mean I can with confidence hold up this notebook by the

84
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:23,400
edges here and kind of Swing things around like it feels incredibly strong

85
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,759
considering the petite form factor that we're dealing with here I mean remember

86
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:29,880
guys the electronics can keep getting smaller and more efficient and more

87
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:34,319
miniaturized but when it comes to you know building hinges that are durable

88
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:37,800
the technology is just like you just have to spend a bunch of money on the

89
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:41,479
materials there's no uh there's no magic bullet where like you can refine the

90
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,639
manufacturing process and make the transistor smaller so it's you know

91
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:49,520
easier to build a a durable hinge no you just have to actually build a durable

92
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:54,160
hinge um I think that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out this oh

93
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,319
actually hold on I'll okay has an8 cell battery didn't mention that before we

94
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:03,319
did mention the specs yeah I think that pretty much wraps it up so thank you for checking out this unboxing in first look
