welcome to my unboxing and first look at the
0:15
dp700 from Samsung this is their 7even
0:19
series multi-touch gesture capable high
0:24
resolution allinone featuring Windows 8
0:27
I know I said a lot of stuff just now and maybe not all of it necessarily sunk
0:32
in but uh I'll cover it in more depth as we go along so check this out that is
0:38
some fine packaging we got going on there soft foam keeps this thing very
0:44
safe in transit I mean it's got like 2 in to like 6 in of soft foam around it
0:49
at every possible angle which is amazing
0:53
I mean look how much look how much foam is between the actual unit and the edge
0:56
of the box and this is this is very awkward what I'm doing right now so I'm
1:01
going to go ahead and dump this out on the floor because that'll be less
1:04
awkward and hopefully not break it if I broke it it would be really bad
1:10
I think there's actually very few of these in Canada right now so uh so yes
1:15
it would be incredibly incredibly bad so what we find in accessory box number one
1:20
is an included mouse and keyboard These Are
1:24
Wireless there you go actually oh wow
1:28
very solid builtin build quality for what I would normally expect to be
1:32
pretty shoddy keyboards and mice included with uh you know just this
1:36
little nice little touch like that aluminum piece right here that's uh
1:40
actual metal and gives it a bit of a nice feel to it the mouse is well okay
1:44
the mouse is more like what I'd expect to see included with an all-in-one but
1:47
realistically if you're buying yourself a really nice uh all-in-one like this
1:51
you probably want to invest in a proper wireless keyboard and mouse from someone
1:55
like Logitech okay check this out I mean look at this
1:58
packaging this thing wouldn't break I
2:01
swear if you dropped it off a two-story building like seriously all right next
2:06
accessory box we've got a power brick
2:09
and that is a brick but I mean remember guys this is a desktop PC not a notebook
2:14
so it's not like it's going anywhere you go ahead and plug that in there that's
2:18
going to power your allinone experience
2:22
all right next thing we've got is the
2:25
all-in-one PC itself it's like the sword the stone if
2:30
you can remove it from the packing material then you can use
2:34
it okay that is absolutely
2:40
gorgeous give me a sec to get all the plastic off it and then we're ready to
2:43
go here one cool thing that Samsung does
2:47
include with this all-in-one and one of the first things I wanted to play with when I opened it up is their gesture
2:52
capabilities just like they have on their Smart TVs so I was trying to see
2:55
if I could get it to recognize my cat's hand as as a palm so so that I could see
3:00
if uh who I think it did recognize something there good job Rumble okay so
3:05
let's put him down gorgeous oh yeah right so gestures so there's a variety
3:09
of different gestures I'm going to totally cheat here because there's a lot of stuff to remember so you click like
3:13
this you uh can close programs by going
3:16
like this you can increase volume up and down by going like oh no sorry like this
3:21
and then you can go to Windows home and then you can swipe left and right so
3:24
that's kind of cool it's still I'd say it's still a little bit quirky but I
3:28
mean I wouldn't worry too much about it because overall the machine is so
3:33
beautiful I mean I have no validation of this but here come in and get like a
3:37
really really sharp angle on this this
3:41
must be a PLS panel 2560 X 1440 HD Plus
3:46
PLS panel absolutely beautiful it is
3:50
edgo Edge glass here so what that means is if you swipe in from the edge you are
3:55
going to be able to take advantage of all the different gestures that Windows
3:58
8 enables the overall I mean keep this
4:02
handy and keep like a rag handy because it is a bit of a fingerprint magnet but
4:07
I I'd go as far as to say that it's like kind of worth it actually it's very
4:11
gorgeous um very clean looking the metal stand down here I think is a really nice
4:16
touch I've seen a lot of different bases for Allin ones some of them are kind of
4:20
quirky some of them look really nice this one looks really nice it's a it's
4:24
just a plastic finish here that's not actually made of metal but it looks metallic and it looks really really good
4:29
in terms of Ang Ang Les you can get a little bit more than upright and then
4:33
you can angle it back like this which would be appropriate for sort of like a
4:36
lower desk and using it from above touchcreen feels very responsive it is a
4:40
10-point multi-touch so again fully capable of all the different gestures
4:44
that you would want to play around with in something like Windows 8 you can just
4:48
see it's just like the colors it looks so good let's uh let's actually take a
4:52
closer look at the physicality of the unit so it's very slim this is one of
4:56
the Slimmer all-in ones that I've seen especially considering it doesn't have
5:00
any apparent like uber cooling fans going on in it or anything like that it
5:05
has a 78 see I have my spec sheet handy has a
5:10
3770t so that's a uh low power processor
5:15
because that's what you pretty much have to use for something like an Allin one it looks like this is doesn't have a
5:20
button so you're going to eject that with the operating system this
5:23
particular model has a 7850 with 1 gig of dedicated RAM which is important for
5:27
all of the uh all the video Accel ation of everything that goes on in Windows 8
5:31
I'm just going to let diesel sort of look at the unit while I figure out the rest of it uh dual 14 watt speakers with
5:36
tweeters so those are dual be certified as much as that may may not mean to you
5:40
8 gigs of RAM included and that pretty much does it for okay gigabit land
5:45
Bluetooth Wi-Fi 720p front webcam and I
5:50
think that's uh that's pretty much it so we had the optical drive on that one
5:54
side let's go around to the other side and see what we find there I'm expecting
5:57
to see some input some whatnot there we
6:00
go all right so we've got an SD card reader two USB 3.0 ports microphone and
6:06
headphone outjack so let's go ahead and tilt it down here so you can see
6:11
everything else it has a DisplayPort out HDMI in which is great which means 5
6:17
years from now when you no longer care about you know an all-in-one that's a
6:22
5-year-old spec you can go ahead and just continue using it as a monitor USB
6:28
uhoh they're probably USB 2 would be my guess yep three USB 2.0 ports one of
6:33
which has the wireless receiver for the keyboard and mouse that are included
6:37
HDMI out for a secondary display gigabit Ethernet antenna in that one's blank on
6:42
this one Kensington lock is included here and cooling is done through a
6:46
variety of uh oh look those are speakers
6:49
okay there you go that's neat cooling is done with a variety of vents in the
6:53
bottom and up here in the top although
6:56
the fan is quite quiet especially from the front of the m machine so you
7:00
shouldn't have any sort of difficulty with any of those aspects
7:05
because I am not connected to the internet right now I'm not able to take
7:09
advantage of that but let's go ahead and pop back to the Windows 8 start menu
7:13
actually give me a moment here
7:17
guys so just an example of you know a
7:20
potential usage model for a PC like this is you know I'm cooking you know
7:25
checking if my banana bread is done I didn't make the banana bread I'm
7:30
incapable my my wife made it but I'm pretending that I know how to cook so
7:34
that I can give an example of how you might use the included Jamie Oliver app
7:38
which again because I'm not connected to the network on this one seems to be a
7:41
bit of an issue uh it's also could be because it's a demo unit this is
7:44
pre-production But it includes a Jamie Oliver cooking app that you can use your
7:48
gestures to kind of navigate through recipes and stuff like that cuz
7:51
especially when your hands are dirty you might think that it's sort of Handy to
7:55
be able to just gesture at the screen instead of getting your super greasy
7:58
hands all over it another Samsung exclusive is the incl there it goes ah
8:05
okay sorry 5400 RPM one terab drive in
8:09
here so hence the sort of what the first thing I'd probably do after I buy
8:12
something like this is throw an SSD in it but uh yeah Samsung exclusive start
8:16
menu so does that look familiar to all of you guys yay it's the start menu in
8:21
Windows 8 uh which is not necessarily available with everyone uh there's also
8:26
some built-in touchscreen controls here including eject oh that's how you eject
8:31
it or maybe it's here oh there it goes
8:34
see eject for the optical drive it's a DVD drive although i' believe it's
8:37
available in some regions with Blu-ray menu brightness up volume up brightness
8:42
down volume down you can change the source and you can turn the oh that's
8:46
handy you can turn the display right off or turn it back on very
8:52
