Microsoft Surface Unboxing

2012-10-26
hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with an unboxing of the new Microsoft Surface as one of the first Windows RT tablets to launch let's take a look at what you get slide open the box and you'll see the surface along with the touch cover if you get the bundle like I have take off the seal and we can get it the good stuff first off we have the surface but we'll set that aside for a minute you also get a fairly large power adapter with a magnetic connector a small getting started guide and safety info that no one ever reads the touch cover comes separately along with another bit of information tucked away in the box time to get to the surface itself unwrap the protective plastic wrap and the tablets free fire it up and you'll see the 10.6 inch 1366 by 768 display with the Metro UI my first impressions are really impressive Windows is very smooth and switching between Metro and the classic desktop is just as easy as on the PC along the right side you'll see the magnetic charging port which looks a bit like Mac save a full size USB 2.0 port proprietary HD video port and one of the two speakers along the right side is a volume rocker headphone jack and the second speaker up top you'll see a lock button which works like most other tablets and the bottom is where the touching type covers connect around back is the 720p camera and the kickstand which pops out to let the surface stand on its own and works very well combined with the touch cover you can turn the tablet into something more like a laptop in just a few seconds and from the side you can see with the kickstand and keyboard everything is still quite then the touch cover is full-size and while there's practically no tactile feedback it's a huge improvement from a touchscreen keyboard and I used it to type the entire script for this video at first glance I'm very impressed with the surface the hardware solid and Windows 8 is very smooth but be sure to stay tuned for the full review don't forget to hit that like button if you enjoyed and I will catch you next time
