today we're going to be doing an unboxing and quick overview of the two
0:03
goad sl10 10in tablet PC so this
0:07
features Windows 7 and let's go over
0:10
some of the uh some of the selling features of this particular little guy
0:14
so first of all we've got an Intel adom n450 1.66 GHz processor built in
0:20
e-reader it has a 10-in LED back lit
0:23
multitouch display full web support including flash duh it has Windows 7 so
0:28
of course it does custom cases included an access to millions of program apps
0:33
duh because it's Windows 7 so who needs an app store when you have access to the
0:36
entire catalog of Microsoft Windows applications not a bad point business
0:40
class features including Intel addom which is uh very power efficient a 250
0:45
gig hard drive 2 gigs of ddr2 memory and
0:48
it is ready to go TM to work fully
0:51
functioning Flash Player of course and built-in e-reader capability compatible
0:55
with all notebook ebook applications including Kindle Nook and PDF so there
1:00
we go there's not much else in terms of information on the box so let's get this
1:05
thing open and have a look at how
1:08
uh how well built it is more than anything else I guess cuz the hardware
1:12
is pretty much a known element because it's an atom it's basically a netbook
1:17
and then it's going to come down to the build quality and the screen in all
1:20
likelihood so here's uh some online resources thank you for purchasing CTL
1:25
drivers okay cool next we've got a
1:28
driver disc as well as some uh information regarding registration and
1:32
support and let's have a look at the accessories first as I am outt to
1:37
do so this I'm assuming contains a battery and a power adapter which it
1:42
does first of all here's our power adapter it's about the same sizes you'd
1:46
find for any kind of Netbook because it's pretty much the same Hardware
1:50
inside here and then we've got a power
1:54
plug oh okay well we'll open it from that end then that was easy power plug
1:59
and finally we we have oh the battery's already in there so this it looks like a
2:03
oh Neato we've got a USB to VGA adapter
2:07
so you got VGA Out book out book
2:10
output out of the box so that's uh take
2:13
that Apple all right uh we've got a little magnetic
2:19
cover here it actually looks quite Sleek the overall feel of it is uh pretty
2:24
pretty realistic as far as fake Leathers go I'm assuming it's fake but it feels
2:29
pretty nice actually there's a little stand here so I guess you can uh put it
2:35
like that should you so desire overall strength of it is pretty good see so
2:40
just it's held on by a little ribbon this looks like for either cooling or
2:43
speakers can't really tell from here so let's flip this over so it's the twoo PC
2:49
tablet look at that that's actually kind of slick that looks nice so um yeah
2:54
let's have a look at what we've got in terms of uh in terms of Io if I can
2:59
figure out how to turn it on first that would be ideal actually let me just look
3:03
for oh here we go so here's the power button and it looks like we have a
3:06
battery indicator there the light is now green all right I can feel the hard
3:10
drive spinning up in my hands and uh let's keep moving around the unit itself
3:15
so on this side we have nothing on the bottom we have uh nothing and then on
3:23
this side we have some IO so here this
3:26
appears to be Lan is that actually
3:30
yeah Okay cool so that's uh either 1000 or gigabit L here's our little VGA
3:34
adapter oh that wasn't actually USB so that's just a little custom Uh custom
3:39
adapter then we have one USB port which is pretty handy and then we've got a mic
3:45
as well as a headphone jack and then we
3:48
have our power adapter there so setup is preparing to launch your computer for
3:52
the first time setup is checking video performance why don't we have a look at
3:56
video angles while we're at it here or rather viewing angles we we've got a
4:00
built-in webcam right at the top here and then we've also got some buttons
4:04
over here so we've got up down okay and then two gears so if you want to have a
4:09
look at those uh cameraman I want you to check out the uh there we go now you can
4:13
see it you couldn't see it before so it does have a glossy screen um so if
4:18
you're using it indoors I'm sure that won't be a problem but you can see that
4:21
it is quite reflective you can quite easily see me in the screen which means
4:25
I better be pretty careful not to shine it directly at the camera man because then you'll be able to see him no I'm
4:29
not going to do it okay so we are actually booted up but I do want to have a look at the viewing
4:33
angle so when we don't have a light directly behind it the LED backlit
4:36
screen is actually viewable from about I'd say comfortably you can look at it
4:40
you can actually read text from about here okay so hopefully you can sort of
4:45
visualize what that angle is although normally you'd be using it like this and
4:48
it's quite bright by default in terms of vertical I can use it comfortably from
4:53
about here down to about here so from top down it's not as good as from the
4:57
bottom down which makes sense cuz you'd hold a tablet like this more often than
5:00
you'd hold it like this right okay so I'll type in my username I guess there
5:06
we go so all I do is uh touch that and then I can type uh
5:10
Linus okay Enter and uh not going to set up a
5:15
password right now just going to accept the license I'm hoping to be able to uh
5:22
try out the multitouch a little bit here cuz it is a multi-touch LED okay uh skip
5:27
the wireless setup this is actually kind of slick you know
5:31
what let's take a minute and actually take it out of the uh case I do like the
5:36
case and you know what if I was using one of these I would probably use it
5:39
with the case just because it is pretty slick uh what I would probably do to
5:43
make this the oh I think I just hit the power button shoot what I would probably
5:47
do to make this like kind of the perfect tablet is I would uh take out the drive
5:51
and add an SSD so it's probably using based on that capacity 250 gig it's
5:56
probably using a 2 and 1/2 in SSD so I'd probably go ahead and throw uh throw an
6:01
SSD drive in there yeah shoot I hit the power button my bad and uh other than
6:06
that it's pretty much it's pretty much perfect it's pretty slick so here's the
6:10
Intel atom logo that says no hassle onee warranty here on the back here's the
6:15
Windows 7 Home Premium Kaa this is already in use so don't even bother guys
6:19
all right so here's the brand of the well I guess it's a notebook sort of
6:23
it's more of a tablet um now in terms of opening it up if you did want to replace
6:28
a drive or anything like that I have I have no idea how you'd do that it's
6:33
possible you can't although there's got to be there's got to be some way but
6:37
here on the front you can see it's uh it's a little bit fingerprint prone but
6:41
you kind of expect that from a from a glossy screen and uh yeah it comes off
6:46
relatively easy easily but there's their little branding element on there as well
6:51
as uh what else do oh yeah I found something else here so this wasn't
6:54
accessible before but it looks like there's an SD card reader here
7:01
yeah there's an SD card reader down there so I guess you'd just throw that
7:05
in for uh for storage more than like to
7:09
you know pull photos off your camera especially cuz it's hidden by the case
7:14
but um yeah this is kind of neat actually in
7:19
terms of speed it's going to be about what you'd expect easy bits quick and I think
7:26
that's pretty much all there is to it I mean it's Windows 7 on a tablet uh
7:29
overall thickness you know what why don't we do a quick comparison against the uh iPhone 4 just so that you can see
7:35
for scale the uh the size of this guy so
7:39
there's the thickness of the unit and let's go ahead and just do kind of an
7:43
overall size comparison wish I had an iPad tablet to
7:47
show you guys cuz that's sort of a more apt comparison but there you are there
7:52
it is next to the iPhone 4 and
7:57
uh yeah thank you for checking out my unboxing of the two go pad and don't
8:02
forget to subscribe to Linus Tech
8:07
tips thought I better show you guys the multi-touch capability before we
8:11
completely wrap this up so I'm browsing around in a photo here this is just one
8:15
of the sample photos that comes with Windows 7 so I can uh zoom out zoom in
8:21
move around I can zoom in I can see if there's a guy standing at the top of the
8:25
rock uh it looks like there appears to be not a guy there so uh there you go
8:31
yes it does have a multi-touch touch screen can open up the Penguins picture
8:37
oh well we tried to open up the Penguin's picture it's not selected
8:41
though H that's kind of bizarre okay well thank you for checking out the
8:45
video don't forget to subscribe same thing I said before now we're looking at the desert again interesting
