Visit 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:15.599 www.coolermaster-usea.com/team_curse for more details. Welcome to my extreme 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:20.960 brightness outdoor unboxing of the ASUS memo pad. I wanted to make a point about 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:27.359 the lifestyle of this particular product by resting on this here grassy 00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:29.439 embankment while I open it up and uh 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:33.920 show what you would look like using this particular little 7-in tablet. So, this 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:36.960 is a more valueoriented product. U so it's not like their Transformer series 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.879 where it's got all the bells and whistles and you can attach it to like 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:48.200 you know a keyboard and all that kind of stuff. This is using a single A9 core. 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:51.280 So, it's a a via what is it again? A 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:54.480 WM8950. It's got wireless N, a gig of 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.360 memory, 16 gigs of storage. That's eMMC 00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:01.359 storage. It's got a very similar overall feel to it. Like, it's very similar form 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:07.280 factor to something like a Google Nexus 7. And it's got a very actually very 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:13.200 stunning backing on it here. Check that out. So, it's got a diamond patterned 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.040 back that's just got a an ASUS logo. What I like about it is the fact that 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:22.080 it's textured. So many guys are going with uh smooth feels. Like I personally 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:25.759 hate the feel of the iPad because it's so smooth on the back you could easily 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:33.040 just drop the thing. Whereas this isn't quite rubberized. But here I'm going 00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:34.880 to if you guys can hear that noise. It 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.159 has a bit of grippyiness to it so you can actually hold the stupid thing 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:41.840 because a lot of the time you've got all these new tablets that are coming with 00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:44.560 thin enough bezels that you can or thick enough bezels that you can hold them 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.360 here, but it's hard to support it because it's not grippy enough on the back and the glass obviously won't 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.280 provide any of that. So, there you go. It's got a it's got a good overall feel 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:57.200 to it. In terms of functionality, we've got or in terms of buttons, we've got 00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.719 the lock button up here at the top, which I'm pressing to hopefully turn it 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:06.000 on. We've got a volume rocker. It comes with Android Jellybean 4.1, micro SD 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.119 slot. Love to see this on the Value tablets, especially cuz they don't come 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:15.360 with that much storage. 16 gigs on board, so you can expand that with another 64 gigs if you want. Micro USB 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.879 for charging as well as data transfer on the other side. Not a whole lot. You've 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:24.000 got a single speaker on the back as well as a single microphone port right there 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.160 and a single 1 megapixel camera on the front of the device. Now, let's have a 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:36.000 look at what ASUS includes with this guy. So, you got a warranty 00:02:31.959 --> 00:02:38.000 card. Coup. Uh, you've got another one 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:45.519 in French. You've got a memoad user manual. You've got a USB to micro USB 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:49.360 cable as well as a what's this guy going 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:52.720 to be? Is this a 1 amp 0.3 amp? No, 2 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.000 amp. 2 amp 5volt output wall wart. So, 00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:58.879 let's get it fired up and we'll be back in just a moment. So, we've got this bad 00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:01.440 boy fired up. I've brought up the camera app just for the lols. You guys aren't 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:05.360 going to be able to see anything there because the sun's directly behind us. 00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:09.280 But what I can do is I can show you a video that I already took. I've got the 00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:13.680 screen on full brightness here. So, this is what the usage scenario would 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:18.560 probably look like. You know, laying on the grass, opening with the gallery. Uh, 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.200 yeah, let's always open that with gallery. So, it's actually usable even 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:26.239 in an extremely bright condition. So, our camera is probably compensating for 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.080 it a little bit up there, but you can see how how white I am here because the 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.360 sun's directly in my face. I can also barely see anything, but with the screen 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:38.480 at full brightness, it's actually quite usable. Now, it is by the by all 00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:40.239 appearances a TN panel. Uh, so you do 00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:42.879 have some color shift when you when you angle it from side to side, but that's 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:50.159 what we expect with these value products. It's only about $170. Um, and because of Jellybean, even 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:54.560 though the processor is not as overpowered as something like a Nexus 7, 00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:57.280 it is reasonably responsive. So, you can, you know, click and see all your 00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:00.400 apps and browse between those and all that cuz of Project Butter. And I think 00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:05.599 that pretty much covers it. Thank you for checking out this unboxing and first 00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:09.560 look at the ASUS Memo Pad. I think I did miss something critical, which was the 00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:14.319 resolution, which I believe was 1024x 600, although I could be wrong about 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:19.280 that. You'll have to give me a moment. Yep, that was all the time I needed. 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:21.160 1024 by 600. Oh yeah, we'll do my uh 00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:26.160 trademark now HTC1 size comparison. So, there's the 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.759 thickness. This is a 4.3 in smartphone, so that should give you some idea how 00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:32.479 it'll compare to a 7-in tablet in terms of the overall screen size.
