today we're going to be doing an unboxing of an accessory product so this
0:04
is an antech notebook power adapter
0:07
which looks completely unexceptional
0:10
from this angle and I will explain why it is exceptional in just a moment so
0:14
the first thing this is uh kind of an upgraded version of their np900 which
0:19
stands for as far as I can tell notebook Power 90 90 means 90 Watts so we have a
0:24
universal notebook power adapter uh oh okay they well they gave away the secret
0:28
on me here Slimmer is better so the snp9 is a Slimmer version of the np9 so we're
0:35
going to get out of the box really shortly here and while I'm opening the
0:38
box oh oh that's cool it's conveniently already kind of broken on the bottom for
0:41
me um might have happened in shipping or something
0:45
but that makes my life easier because this kind of packaging is like an
0:50
unboxer worst nightmare it's my arch nemesis because it's like impossible to
0:56
do it cleanly never cut towards yourself
0:59
kids do not do this at home I am a professional unboxer after
1:06
all
1:10
okay there we go so here we got some
1:14
adapters we got a notebook power adapter
1:17
we got a paper sleeve we're going to take that out and I think that's pretty
1:20
much it for packaging so yeah like I said I wanted cameraman to have a look
1:24
for you guys at the compatibility list for the SNP 90 and uh so you can easily
1:30
see whether your notebook is compatible there's probably ones that are
1:34
compatible that aren't on there but it's pretty hard to keep those uh completely
1:38
up to date all the time so here's also all of the included plugs no there's one
1:43
more that's already attached to the unit hopefully I can figure out how to remove
1:46
it it's not too hard so there you are those are all of the included plugs so
1:51
let's have a look at the snp9 and why do people need a slim notebook power
1:56
adapter well the reason is that if you pack it in a briefcase or in a backpack
2:01
or in any other place where it would be useful to have it be not so bulky well
2:06
why is it that all notebook power adapters are like this thick when most
2:10
modern notebooks are more like this thick so there's often no easy way to
2:16
put your adapter into like a notebook briefcase or or a case or anything like
2:21
that so that's why this product exists and it's actually been selling quite
2:25
well so uh it seems like there is a uh a
2:28
demand for that so just has a power cord here on the one side and then a power
2:32
cord here on the other side so the swappable pieces go on like this here
2:37
just come in have a close look at that you can see there's there's two holes
2:40
there and uh one of them is positive one of them is negative so you just go ahead
2:45
and plug that guy in there and find the one that works now this one runs
2:50
at 19 volts and provides up to
2:53
4.74 amps at 19 volts so make sure that
2:57
your notebook accepts a 19 volt input before you even try to use this
3:01
particular adapter and then also double check that the uh the head is compatible
3:07
with the uh power jack on your notebook so thank you for checking out my
