00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:16.720
welcome to my unboxing in first look at the ASUS G55 V this is a gaming notebook

00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:19.800
that's actually been previously unboxed

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:21.960
um for the Vancouver men's show however

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:27.840
clearly the last person who unboxed this product was not the seasoned unboxing

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:31.359
professional that I am because this is

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:31.359
upside down

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:39.600
terrible okay so let's cover what's on the outside first so lithium okay do not

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:43.760
load a transfer package of damaged got it over here we've got the ASUS ADW

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.719
accidental damage warranty that is included with their notebook so one year

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:51.440
warranty covering accidental drop spills power searches and fire damage including

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:54.800
24-hour toll-free support and a Target three business day turnaround time for

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.879
repair and replacement not including receiving and shipping time free oneway

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.320
standard shipping from isus to the user of your repair notebook so you do have to pay to ship it back to them however

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:06.479
throwing an accidental damage warranty is pretty crazy pretty crazy awesome

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:11.520
2year international warranty so one year of which is ADW Zer bri. guarantee

00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:14.880
two-way free standard shipping okay I'm still confused I don't understand

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:20.840
whether it's two-way free or oneway free but 24/7 tech support is backed up by

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.000
both halves of that sticker for certain

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:31.280
let's have a look at what we got in terms of specs here so this is a 15.6

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.240
full HD LED back lit monitor with with

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.360
not TV and you know what this is a terrible spec sheet forget it I'm not

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:42.600
looking at that okay let's just open her up yeah first thing we find inside is a

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:49.119
gaming mouse I'm not even going to bother opening it because it's not very good you should actually probably just

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.600
buy a real Mouse um not that I'm saying

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:55.000
that you know it's not usable but it's

00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:59.479
like usable on like your sister's computer and then you can steal her

00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:04.320
awesome gaming mouse or something if you can her that the one that came with your

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:11.000
R gaming notebook is better all right we've got an included

00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:12.920
Rog uh notebook backpack which fits

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:17.120
theoretically The Notebook that it comes with and I'm going to sort of model this

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:20.599
for you guys do my little turn on the catwalk so this is what I would look

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:24.440
like if I was 15 and in high school and I wore a backpack and the joke there

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.640
actually guys is that I do wear a backpack every day so you

00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:32.160
know this is what I'd look like if I walked around with a backpack on so

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.720
there you go let's take that off actually no let's not take that off yet

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:39.080
let's look inside it so here's our notebook pouch which

00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:42.840
hopefully is oh yeah there I was pretty disappointed for a second there uh

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:47.680
hopefully is patted on oo that's not a lot of padding okay so yeah it's it's

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:51.840
pretty cool but be careful you know don't drop your bag down like that if

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.239
you have this particular backpack and you've got your expensive fancy notebook

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.120
It's like got a small it's got a small pad on the bottom so it's not completely

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:02.360
unpadded or anything and it's got like a nice soft thing going on in here but

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.680
remember guys this is the free backpack that came with your notebook if I was

00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:10.959
buying a notebook like this and you're going to see just how awesome it is then

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:15.599
I would definitely get myself a wicked gaming mouse and a wicked notebook

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:20.879
backpack so that I could be all like balling out with my notebook and my

00:03:17.239 --> 00:03:24.040
backpack and my mouse and uh like a boss

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:25.280
like that okay opening it up I don't

00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:29.959
know if all the accessories are going to be in the right place like I said I clearly un see the mouse wasn't even in

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:33.439
that box it was here so now you do get to see it it has a DPI change button

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:39.840
it's got a scroll wheel it's got a couple buttons here a couple over here rubberized grip on the side and that's

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.239
pretty much all she wrote about that guy

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:47.680
moving right along we have our power brick and like I mean when it comes to

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:52.760
Bricks you could actually build with this thing because it's big and uh

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:58.000
here's my iPhone for comparison which I know you guys love so very much bam

00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:04.519
that's how big it is all right moving right

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:07.040
along the notebook itself this is what

00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:12.799
I'm excited about so we unboxed their g75 quite recently which is a similar

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:17.680
model but using a 17in screen now personally I find that a 17in screen is

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:22.919
very awesome and very huge and great as a gaming experience but not quite as

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:28.320
good as a portability experience and I definitely prefer for myself to have a

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:33.800
15-in screen which is exactly what is included with this one so here we have a

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:40.120
couple accessories we've got a cable tie for your power adapter warranty card

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:47.320
drivers and a notebook users manual including ooh R stickers very nice all

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:52.360
right let's turn her on give me a second to get it booted up on the bottom we can

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:57.360
easily see all of the upgrade panels there's your battery upgrade panel more

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:01.400
like removal and like putting back in if you need to for whatever reason uh here

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:06.240
we have access to our memory as well as our hard drive so that covers that let's

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.120
do the external of it so ultimate fighting machine ASUS gaming notebook

00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:12.440
Rog Arsenal presents taking off the

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:18.240
sticker so that we can see what the notebook looks like without it because most people won't keep it on on this

00:05:15.880 --> 00:05:24.240
side we've got a Kensington lock two USB 3.0 ports microphone headphones and a

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.240
DVD multi-drive on the back we find

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.840
ventilation so check this out we've got a full-sized heat sink that runs all the

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:35.160
way from here to here the rest of this is actually plastic filler so it looks

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:40.639
like you know a massive heat sink was enough to take care of the 660m as well

00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:42.240
as the Intel Core i7 quad core processor

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.479
inside this machine I'm actually just going to take this off as well because

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:51.080
that's sort of interfering with the gorgeousness uh the back of the unit has

00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.919
a soft touch feel which personally I quite like

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.919
um everyone's got a bit of a different opinion about soft touch but I really

00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:03.880
like cases anything that I'm not going to touch too

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:09.160
much I like to see the soft touge finish on because it can wear out like I have a

00:06:06.919 --> 00:06:12.680
G9 mouse that really wore out and then it kind of peels off but if you're not

00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:17.000
going to be all over it all the time it looks really good it stays really clean

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:21.720
looking all the time and uh yeah I like it so shiny ASUS logo Republic of Gamers

00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:27.000
logo on the back as well moving around to the other side we've got gigabit

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:31.000
Ethernet power VGA

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:34.560
Thunderbolt yeah a HDMI as well as two

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:36.599
more USB 3.0 super speed ports now you

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:40.160
notice the lack of an SD card reader bam there it is right in the front as well

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.280
as all of your indicator lights for things like hard drive Wireless caps

00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:48.319
lock number lock and all that good stuff speaking of number lock in spite of its

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:53.840
15inch form factor this notebook has a full desktop is keyboard meaning it's

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:58.800
got a properly laid out set of arrow keys a full number pad as well as a

00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:03.599
fullsize backlit keyboard I want to get you guys a view of the backlighting on

00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:07.680
the keyboard if I could even move in the room here at all right now there's so

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:14.360
much stuff all over the floor there we go how's it look awesome and white love

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:16.440
it all right I'm actually I think white

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:20.560
is probably either my favorite or my second favorite backlit keyboard color I

00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:24.639
do really like green as well speaking of soft touch they have a more durable type

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.199
of soft touch here this has a texture to it so this will actually be far less

00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:33.759
likely to wear off when you have your palms resting on it all the time they've also got a nice big widescreen touchpad

00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:38.080
as well as left and right clicks which are to be expected at this point in time

00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:43.720
uh 2.3 GHz quad core processor I don't know if I mentioned that before so

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:45.639
that's a 3610 qm it also has a GTX 660

00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:51.960
so with its bigger brother you get an boot SSD you get a more powerful

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.199
graphics card you do get a um I mean

00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:58.840
those are the biggest things you get the bigger screen

00:07:55.400 --> 00:08:02.080
um yeah one thing that you get with both

00:07:58.840 --> 00:08:04.080
of them though is the 3D capable display

00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:07.919
so your emitter is embedded in here somewhere all you got to do is Source

00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:13.879
yourself some 3D glasses they're about 100 bucks I think and you are ready for

00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:15.479
3D gaming as soon as you can say Bob's

00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:19.159
your uncle and you configure it in the NVIDIA driver and I personally think

00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:25.440
that's pretty awesome so remember it's not only good for games but also for movies and whatever else you want to do

00:08:22.159 --> 00:08:27.759
in stereoscopic 3D if you have the

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:31.159
supported applications installed has dual fans apparently which is kind of

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:36.479
cool it also has 12 gigs of RAM as well as a 750 gig hard drive now there's no

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:40.440
SSD that is disappointing but you can always go with the g75 or you can rip

00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:45.680
the drive out and throw in an SSD very easily if you want because it's uh very

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:51.040
accessible on the bottom and the cord fell out so apparently it does have a

00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:53.720
battery and I mean unlike the 17-in

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:57.760
bigger brother it is much lighter and much more portable so it's just a matter

00:08:55.320 --> 00:09:00.240
of deciding what you want out of it oh yeah hinge durability is one of the

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.000
things that that ASUS has done a fantastic job with on their G Series

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.720
notebooks look at these heavy duty hinges I really just don't expect them

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:14.839
to break in in any way at any point in time love it and then finally the sound

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:19.959
is done via the speakers all along the top here uh once again another upgrade

00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:23.600
that the g75 has is the subwoofer on the bottom this one does not have that so

00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:27.720
the g75 is clearly the higher end machine but it is clearly designed for

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:31.360
the more hardcore gamer that is willing to sacrifice the portability to get

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:36.279
those extra bells and whistles so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the G55 V from isus don't
