00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:13.719
welcome to an unboxing of a product that's been through the war zone a

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:17.199
little bit however the internal carton is not in rough shape but we do need

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

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

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:33.120
where Samsung is also claiming a 100 70°

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:36.680
viewing angle so this is a very premium Ultrabook this is in their nine Series

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

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

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:53.359
usual Wireless connectivity including Wireless N Bluetooth and Y Dy or

00:00:51.360 --> 00:01:00.199
wireless display so here's the internal carton which uses a nice matte black uh

00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:02.559
finish and silver Samsung Series 9

00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:07.560
lettering you got like the rainbow reflective thing imig okay let's open it

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:12.280
up uh inside we find a power

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:16.360
cable a notebook this has been unboxed before I apologize guys I'm re unboxing

00:01:14.759 --> 00:01:21.360
this particular product let's see what we got in here

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:26.920
probably some manuals and Driver discs and ooh a microfiber

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:30.680
cloth can never have enough of these

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.640
system recovery media okay get started

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.560
guide of like Windows or Google you can just use Google to research how to use

00:01:36.119 --> 00:01:42.680
Microsoft products cuz they're best of friends these days uh users's guide

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

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.840
we are pretty much done with the documentation it has a one-ear warranty

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

00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.719
that is oh okay it's just a micro USB to

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:05.520
Ethernet adapter it's that it comes with that cuz some laptop manufacturers make

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

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

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.120
look at that that is a very very Sleek

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

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:26.560
that before it's on the power brick itself instead of on the

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:28.959
laptop wow interesting

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:32.239
okay slick apparently thinks that's not a very good idea

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

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

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.920
Co-op for something so um anyway it is

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

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:56.040
comparison because when we have something that is as Slim and Sleek as

00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:58.280
this check that out so it is only 58 in

00:02:56.040 --> 00:03:03.239
thin at the edge that's the reason for needing the lowprofile pork for the uh

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:09.680
for Wired networking because there just isn't enough room to build in a

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:13.799
full-size RJ45 port on this notebook

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.120
over what was it over 30,000 hours that

00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:20.720
is labor hours man hours went into the design of the aluminum unibody shell

00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:25.080
that Samsung is using for this notebook now this is a 15in notebook which means

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

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:33.920
be limited in terms of your screen real estate or your res resolution it uses a

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.879
1600x 900 screen and as I mentioned

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

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:44.239
let's wait till it gets booted up although Samsung claims it boots up in

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

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.760
verified now check that out that was the entire boot time from uh from start to

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

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:02.760
viewing angle is significantly better than the up down viewing angle however

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:05.640
screen overall looks pretty good and

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

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:13.920
15in 1600 by 900 it is extremely thin so

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:17.959
we're going to do the iPhone comparison here again just to show you guys how

00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:22.120
skinny the top of this notebook is the overall build of it though feels

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

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:32.160
how much Flex there is to the design almost nothing here and then on the

00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:35.080
keyboard itself self I mean I can't I

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:39.000
can't do almost anything a plastic shell like triple the thickness of this one

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

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:46.919
keyboard uses a chicklet style and this is not a bilingual keyboard although if

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

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:55.000
get a bilingual keyboard you've got a very very large touchpad so that's

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:59.120
really nice to see um yeah I guess that's I mean what else

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:04.360
is there to really say ventilation holes are here there's your cooling fan

00:05:01.039 --> 00:05:04.360
although it's not even spinning right

00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:10.880
now oh there's one fan spinning in there somewhere but it's incredibly quiet

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

00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:23.479
on this side we have our power in as well as USB 2 headphone microphone mini

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

00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:32.360
there's that network adapter Port dad there's a microphone in so it actually

00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:37.600
has a built-in microphone for you know webcamming it up there's your

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

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.440
on sorry guys yep that is a VGA out so

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

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

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

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

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:14.280
well as the MacBook Air it just feels really really really solid the hinge

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.800
feels good too I mean I can with confidence hold up this notebook by the

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:23.400
edges here and kind of Swing things around like it feels incredibly strong

00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:26.759
considering the petite form factor that we're dealing with here I mean remember

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:29.880
guys the electronics can keep getting smaller and more efficient and more

00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:34.319
miniaturized but when it comes to you know building hinges that are durable

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:37.800
the technology is just like you just have to spend a bunch of money on the

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:41.479
materials there's no uh there's no magic bullet where like you can refine the

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:45.639
manufacturing process and make the transistor smaller so it's you know

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:49.520
easier to build a a durable hinge no you just have to actually build a durable

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

00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:57.319
actually hold on I'll okay has an8 cell battery didn't mention that before we

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

00:07:00.960 --> 00:07:05.919
