let's talk about the key features which are light slim Aesthetics so they're saying it's light they're saying it's slim and they're saying it has a good aesthetic that is actually an excellent 3word summary okay here we go your notebook content on your TV oh it supports uh wi eyye y display okay cool a visibly smart experience powered by the second generation Intel Core processor family excellent up to 8 hours of battery life performance that won't weigh you down weighs 2 kg and a 1 in super slim design very cool all right let's go around to the side where it says absolutely nothing let's go around to the other side where it says exactly the same thing and on the other side where we have the Box open so let's show you guys the notebook in question here so this is the X4 460x right here this is a special one this notebook is an engineering sample not for selling the software and application installed are for test and evaluation only so this is definitely a testing and evaluation type of video so I am authorized to use it I have the power brick here I have the power cord here you can actually see in the packaging here where the manual and uh instructions and discs and stuff will go but that's not included with an engineering sample notebook and next we have the battery which is in its little padded pink anti-static bubble wrap so let's go ahead and I guess the first thing we'll show you is how to install the battery so you go ahead flip the notebook over take the battery line it up line up the thing with the thing and then press the thing onto the other thing there we go go ahead close that up and let's have a look at this notebook here so first things first let's take off the plastic so we've got a nice brush brushed finish on the top I actually don't know what it's made of yep that seems to be made of aluminum it's nice and cold it's definitely metal so uh can you see that okay got like a shiny MSI logo on the top so that's like a more of a metal kind of finish I wonder how they've built that in is that a sticker or what oh it looks to be looks to be worked right into the aluminum top very very slim very stylish okay so speaking of slim there is the thickness of the display itself so I'm going to go ahead and do the old iPhone comparison so you can see that's quite slick looking this uses a chicklet keyboard it's got a little MSI padded thing you'll probably want to hold on to that because it keeps the keyboard from imprinting itself on the screen above it when you close up the laptop so let's go ahead take off the rest of the plastic here there we go so the x460 DX actually comes in a variety of different specs depending on the region because this is an engineering sample one it is a little bit on the weaker side so it has a weaker CPU it's only got 2 gigs of RAM although I believe the retail SKS will start at 4 gigs of RAM this one only has a 500 gig drive but uh depending on your region it could have different Drive characteristics it does feature USB 3 Bluetooth true Studio Pro H interesting okay um it has turbo Plus Battery turbo Battery Plus rather so what they're saying is 8 hours of battery life and it does have a 1366 X 768 so that is a 720p ready HD display and that is an LED backlit display another thing that's cool about this particular notebook is that it does feature dedicated graphics so it has a gt540 GPU so here you can see the thickness compared to an iPhone 4 and let's work our way around the notebook and show all of the different things it has so it has a Kensington lock it has a uh DVD drive it has a USB port an SD card reader it has a microphone and a headphone Port moving around to the front we see not a whole lot other than some indicator lights so for hard drive Bluetooth wireless battery uh caps lock and number lock all indicated on there moving around to the other side we've got USB 3 two ports gigabit Ethernet VGA and HDMI I'm actually still happy to see VGA worked into modern notebooks because for something like this especially a more slick uh business style notebook having egga is very handy because a lot of older projectors do not support HDMI so that gives you an option to Output when you're doing a business presentation when you're on the road we've got a huge exhaust Port here so that's taking care of the cooling for the CPU as well as the gt540 GPU and finally we have a DC in import here to power The Notebook let's go ahead and flip it over onto its back so you can see where all of the intake is coming in is right around here and then that will be pulled across the motherboard and then out the back of the oh rather across the motherboard and then out the side of the notebook over here so that's where you are bringing in all of your cooling you can also upgrade any components inside the notebook that you should see fit simply by unscrewing this this this this this this and that's it screws you can take off this whole panel here you can upgrade your RAM I can actually see the RAM Clips right there which is something you'd want to do if you got a 2 gig model like this one but like I said none of the retail ones will actually be two gigs so there's our power switch right up there at the top left and let's have a look at the chicklet style keyboard and do some quick evaluation of that guy while it boots up so I'm oh continue with system resume I'm a big fan of uh any keyboard that feels very solid this one's actually pretty good oh continuous system resume I think because I keep pressing buttons it's getting confused and I'm a big fan of any laptop keyboard that has appropriate spacing so you can see right here they have not cut the shift key short which is in my opinion a cardinal sin they have not moved this shift key over to the right so you can see it's quite easily accessed and the backspace key has also not been shortened when it's been shortened you got to reach way over there in order to backspace and if you make anywhere near as many mistakes as I do when I'm typing that is not convenient the enter key is also a full width Enter key which is very handy as well now let's have a look at the touchpad so the touchpad has a bit of a texture to it you can actually see it has kind of a concentric Circle Style design to the top of it so that gives you a little bit of um texture feedback when you're using it seems quite accurate just based on my quick usage of it here although I will say that the circles cause your finger to be slightly redirected like if you're trying to move in a straight line across it here it might cause it to curve a little bit like that so you do have to be a little bit forceful when you're using it but like I said sensitivity accuracy seem pretty good so far far this piece right here is your left as well as your right click and it's kind of a chromed piece of what appears to be yeah I think that's plastic the metal I'm feeling is just right here actually I can't I can't quite tell if that's made of metal or if it's not it's cool to the touch but it's um hm interesting no I think that's plastic I wonder if the top is plastic too then no the top couldn't be nope okay so this piece is PL though which I actually prefer to an aluminum brush finish here because what tends to happen to aluminum when it's positioned here is when you type for a long time um the grease from your hands and your fingers will etch into the aluminum and will cause it to be worn away such that you can't and it'll ruin the finish that such that you can't even clean it you can't even fix it so there's the turbo battery button and uh what else do we have in terms of interesting buttons and features your speakers are located here in a bar at the top of the notebook itself with a nice little chromed accent running through it looks quite nice and I think that's pretty much all there is to say at this time so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the x460 DX from MSI don't forget to
