it is sealed Oh I thought this one wasn't sealed oh there you go it's just
the box is kind of beat up but it is sealed there we go now we know we learn
something every day so let's have a look at what we've
got in terms of accessories first and then we will have a look at the simple
save unit itself so the first thing we find is a
simple save desktop all right this is a bit of a
user's guide it's quite
simple step one plug in step two
profit there you
are wow they really are stressing the whole Simplicity thing so you've got
your standard uh uh AC to DC adapter as
well as a USB cable and they've even got like two different Ms on it you know USB
a to mini B just in case you were having trouble figuring out what goes where it
should be quite apparent which end goes into what if you want to hook up the
simple save even for like your grandma or you know whoever else you're trying
to help back up their stuff just give
them one of these and uh should take care of itself by the look of things all
right it's got a nice glossy black finish on it which is just gorgeous and
a total fingerprint magnet you can see how incredibly glossy that is like you
can actually see me completely looking
through my camera with my chest tripod mounted here all right at the front we
find more glossy black an HP logo and a little simple save and then on the other
side we find more glossy black now this is impressive look at that
hey HP Engineers have done it again they
have invented a glossy black finish that is okay well we've got a little bit of
fingerprint this going on there but that's pretty darn good for like
something this shiny look at that very impressive you know what that might be
more impressive than their software and the storage and the packaging and
everything else combined a glossy black product that does not look horrible as
soon as you touch it terrific on the back it's simple USB
port power port that's it that's the whole thing there's no
buttons this is like the anti- uh the anti PC Product it's so simple a Mac
User could use it there's no buttons there's just it just
works cool well thank you for checking out my unboxing of the HP simple save it
offers aut I handsfree backup I see what they mean by handsfree like look at this
