today I'm going to be unboxing The Cooler Master usna 95 now I'm going to
0:12
go out on a limb and I'm going to guess that that means ultra slim notebook
0:16
adapter 95 Watts now it's capable of a peak of up to 150 watts but the
0:23
sustained output for this slim notebook adapter is 95 Watts so what that means
0:28
is you can power most of the notebooks out on the market that aren't using like
0:33
uh powerful dedicated graphics cards so
0:37
anything with an onboard graphics card shouldn't be that much of a problem I'm
0:41
just going to go ahead and break the seal here get this
0:49
unboxed wow this is like a complicated top to this box look at this there's
0:53
like layers to the paper and folds and
0:57
like look at that okay so let's go ahead and take the product out so of note is
1:02
the fact that it features apparently great Cable Management I'll be the judge
1:06
of that okay it has a slim design for
1:10
easy storage and portability this is key this is awesome so you can see how slim
1:14
it is I'm going to compare it to the iPhone 4 cuz it's actually quite similar
1:17
in size so you could in theory keep it in your pocket if you really wanted to
1:21
there you go all right so what this
1:25
means is that you can easily fit it into a laptop briefcase for example without
1:29
any uh bulging on the side or without putting unnecessary pressure on the on
1:34
the lid of your laptop so that it pushes into the keyboard leaving marks on the
1:38
screen so that is a scenario I can think of where this would be a good thing slim
1:42
design Okay so we've got the little uh velcro guy right here that helps us
1:46
manage this particular cable you can see the length here so this is a little less
1:50
than a Linus armspan okay so it goes up to about my shoulder about to up to
1:55
about here okay so it's about that long all right so that plugs into this side
2:00
there we are and then we've got our
2:04
Universal well as universal as anyone can make them because nobody seems to be
2:09
able to just agree on a standard for
2:12
Notebook power adapter so this goes in here and then we've got nine charger
2:18
tips so let's see what they have to say for themselves about these charger tips
2:22
so the orange one down here it's good for acerus HP compact BenQ and then we
2:27
got Acer Acer HP compact IBM lenov
2:30
acerus HP compact toiba Fujitsu Gateway
2:33
NEC acerus compact Sony Dell HP oh wait
2:37
no Dell HP compact IBM Lenovo and
2:40
Samsung so that's what all of these are for so you can see Acer is uh the one
2:45
the least decisive one as far as picking a standard anyway you've got a variety
2:49
of different tips that will help
2:52
you to plug it into your notebook it also comes with a little carrying pouch
2:57
look at that has a little draw string on it could also keep like an apple in
3:03
there if you wanted to take it to lunch you know got my Apple like hobo Satchel
3:08
okay not quite like a hobo Satchel okay Cable Management thing so they've got a
3:12
little clip here this is apparently for cable management I failed to see how
3:17
that helps with cable management hold on
3:20
there's got to be something I'm missing here so this Clips to
3:24
something and then the cable goes in
3:28
here or something give me a
3:32
minute so this is cameraman's theory for how this works but I don't I don't buy
3:37
it I just yeah if you guys have any
3:40
brilliant ideas for how this works let me know oh wait here's something hold on
3:44
hold on oh I have an idea maybe this goes in
3:50
here no I just don't get it okay so here's the picture they show so it just
3:55
has like a cable in there and great Cable Management I I don't get it okay
3:59
this this is cool though check this out so you got a USB charger here so what
4:02
that means is that you can plug in your
4:05
USB device like your iPhone or your Android phone without actually even
4:09
having your notebook powered on so that right there is a reason to upgrade your
4:13
existing power adapter to the slim one because it's easier to carry with you
4:17
and it includes the USB charger by
4:21
default okay you've also got this neat little stand that holds all of your
4:25
different adaptable tips and I'll show you guys how easy it is to swap the tips
4:30
it's that easy there we go now it's on and let's
4:35
see how easy it is take off it's that easy so you can see it's
4:40
keyed so it only goes in one way there's a flat side just put that in like that
4:44
