this unboxing is going to be done a little bit differently in that I am not
going to try and stand in front of the camera but rather I going to just hold
the camera and unbox it so this is how this arrived this is The Cooler Master
not palal Ergo stand let's have a look at some of the features it boasts first
of all it is for 9 in to 17in notebooks
I guess that's quite the range it has five adjustable angle stand 140 mm
silent fan a four port USB hub and desktop setup not quite sure what
that is this this is obviously attention
Linus not Linus's cat go away okay and
it comes with a 2010 product guide so
let's see what this includes this is just kind of a random thing but it's
here so we might as well have a look so uh no no go
away go away go away cat okay what do we
got I cannot figure out how this opens
this is pathetic I'm trying to open this thing and I
cannot figure oh it's cuz of the sticker that's why I can't get it open now my
phone's ringing what a disaster oh it's
my parents I better get
this just waiting for my little brother
to go get the cordless so I thought I'd play with my
cat hey finally they're having some problem with their internet so obviously
that's my responsibility somehow and not
the cable companies but whatever okay so so here we have a product guide which
shows us some cases the half series The
690 Advanced and basic this finally
comes apart cuz I've got it figured out it was like taped over all of the
different folds so they got all their coolers their GX series power
supplies Cooler Master makes a lot of stuff actually this is a really good
cooler I unboxed this at some point it's like super cheap and super awesome and
they got all their fans other more different fans and finally a osten there
it is so that's the one that we're actually looking at
today so here on the side we find not
much on the other side we find also not much here we go here are all the
features five angles so you can adjust it depending on the ergonomics hence the
name ergostand it has movable anti-slip
props mad props yo cooling pad okay
that's what it is it has a four port USB hub which we mentioned before with USB
cable clips so it has cable management so you can hide the USB cables then
you've got cable management handles nice
14 cm speed adjustable silent fan you
get laser vision and it also has a desktop it has desktop cooling
application I don't know what that means but I'm sure it means something
ergonomic design more about ergonomic design okay it's made of metal mesh
plastic and rubber it's the oh the fan
fan speed and fan noise so the fan speed is 15 D it is a rifle bearing
fan it runs at 700 to 1400 RPM and it
has a 40,000 hour meantime between failure let's get this box opened up
here I'm already zoomed out the maximum okay I'm going to stand a little bit to
the side so that my uh my light can shine so let's see what we got for
accessories in here okay first we have the USB
cable is this thing still not focusing
hold on give me a sec I think I'm having technical difficulties here oh no there
we go let's focusing now okay so here's the USB cable it is a USB a to mini
cable very very very standard okay
nothing exceptional there then we have a users manual along with the
specifications this probably has pretty much everything we already saw on the
outside warranty information thank you for purchasing uh the warranty shall be
void if uh okay I can't see how long it is
but you could always pause it and read through if you want there we go and now
let's have a look at the Ergo stand itself it comes nicely packed in foam we
got some C here that we're just going to undo and then we got these whatever they
are oh these look like they might be oh
These are nice so you got like a kind of a it's a heavy plastic and it's got kind
of a matte finish and then it's got these little rubber feet on the bottom of it they feel very quality you know
how you just sometimes you pick something up and you go yeah that feels
quality well that does and the stand is
not too bad itself actually so let's see
first of all we're going to take this foamy bit off here I may end up needing
that manual to be perfectly honest okay
so let's figure out how to adjust these right now I do not know I'm going
to go ahead and adjust my camera though so that I can sort of look down a little
bit more W okay there we go that was easy so
you just kind of snap it just like that on the side you will find uh volume
control probably fan speed yeah fan speed you'll find a power button as well
as a plug so this is powered by USB and I I huh that's funny I don't see
that cable interesting okay well maybe this
one was just missing it or maybe it's not included I don't actually know let's
go around to the other side where we will find a the USB hub which is not a
powered Hub unless you plug in power and then also a uh USB cable so oh okay okay
I get it I get it it becomes a powered Hub if you plug in power here which you
do not have to do and it can just be a non-powered hub that's fine okay so
here's how you do all of the five different adjustments okay so you all you have to
do is you just kind of put it up like this and then you move this metal bar
which feels very quality by the way and then you can set it at five different
angles depending on how you want it to rest so I would probably go with this
angle if it was me and then we've also got these feet here which I will have
have to figure out how they work H oh I
get it I get it I get it here we go so these go in here and then they can be
adjusted either this way or that way depending how big the notebook you want
to put on here is so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and put them
at the very maximum because the notebook
that I'm going to put on here is a monster this is a 17in notebook which is
the maximum that this thing can support I'm also going to do some temperature
testing shortly here but I'm just going to go ahead oh man it's heavy hardly
picked that up with one hand so I'm going to go ahead and put that on the
stand there we go yeah that like barely fits on there
so you can see that it's a little bit over the edges on either side but not
unreasonably so I got access to all of my ports and then here I'm just I'm
actually going to just take this and like put it on the floor or something
cuz no no I can probably adjust it here okay so I'll take it and put it on its
side right here there we go so now we can sort of see the angle that we're
sitting at so this is designed so that when you sit at your desk you can have
your wrists at a comfortable angle when you're using the keyboard or I mean less
comfortable but I guess if you wanted to watch a movie or something this would be
ideal my guess okay there's your USB hub
so you can access that around the back of the laptop here's your cable
management handles is what they call them so you can run the cables through
there no problem and then uh the fan is
actually right here right in the middle so it's going to blow let me see how
compatible it is with my laptop it will blow directly onto my GPU fan but we're
only going to get incidental air flow on the CPU fan which is here
right forget it it's right there right
under there so yeah I'll do some temperature testing shortly and thank
you for checking out my unboxing of the
not pal Ergo stand from Cooler Master
