Gadgetory

welcome back to harbor unboxed for another episode of unboxing boxes today we have quite a bit to get through by the looks of it i've got it looks like when we're gonna give five cardboard boxes five but well ones kind of a black garbage bag thing there are five boxes and a little baggy thing not shorts in there and my first ever actual bag too I suppose on bag anyway play to get through so let's get into it or move that out of the way and we'll start with this package here which looks like it would be from play check if the tapers anything to go by you guys can see that there so my first ever package from play Tech I wonder what they've sent me I have to say this package in this package are suspiciously keyboard shaped and as you guys know we always get a few keyboards and unboxing boxes so probably a good chance of being a keyboard it's very creative packaging here from play tech looks like they've repurposed a case box so ok looks like we have a couple of first times here first product able to be sent by play Tech and it looks like a product I've never for a brand even that I've never looked at before so just get that out and what we have here is a keyboard from ducky a very popular brand though not super well known yonder via the ducky shine 6 and I believe this is their special edition model doesn't say that anyway but I'm pretty sure it is anyway let's open the box now that we've unboxed the box let's unbox the product and check it out okay so inside we have a little key cap remover looks like we have some sort of warranty yes warranty card a manual on how to use a keyboard that'll come in handy wow this is one seriously fancy looking keyboard even for a mechanical keyboard it's quite it's very heavy as well okay since we have a lot to get through I'll just get rid of all the boxes get them out of the way so it's a really cool blue metallic looking casing on the keyboard I'll throw some b-roll up so you guys can see that and the key caps are very unusual-looking i think their standard height key caps for cherry switches and we've got the browns here but they are low profile key caps so you can see under them really well to the switches or the switch housing and then obviously the cable itself is completely detachable and that plugs in mini USB connector there it's always good to have especially high end expensive keyboards a detachable cable because if you do happen to break the cable or damage it you don't have to write the whole keyboard off you can just replace the cable itself so that already is a very cool feature then we've got this interesting looking device which looks like that's probably a mouse bungee and there is another piece to that puzzle so that would pop in probably something like that I guess and then depending on which side of the keyboard you have your mouse if your left or right handed that will clip in there and then you may ask cable runs up there onto your pad so Adam the cables not dragging for those of you who are extremely leet doesn't you don't want to get slowed down by a dragging mouse cord and then we have a special so this must be some sort of special edition space that's cool to stabilize the space well we've got sort of two fake switch mounting positions either side and then obviously the the actuator switch in the middle and that would go up something like that you know quick thing very easily I'll unplug the cable so probably asking what makes this a special edition keyboard other than possibly that spacebar though that could be included in all the models I really don't know but what makes this the special edition model those low profile key caps and they are made out of ABS materials that basically means they're very durable via their low profile key caps and ducky says that gives sort of an RGB effect that you won't see on other keyboards with standard key caps so this the standard height but depth I suppose anyway so that's kind of interesting I'll fire that up and provide some b-roll which you're probably looking at right now so yeah you know how it looks I'm yet to discover but I'm sure it does look quite cool oh and quite obviously the other thing that makes this the special edition version is that metallicky sort of bluish almost purplish casing which is plastic but feels very solid there's definitely no flex in this keyboard extremely solid yeah the standard ition is black so if you prefer it all black stealthy kind of look than the standard version is probably going to suit you better but if you don't mind something that's a bit flashy a bit eye catching then yeah the special edition is definitely that so big thanks to play tech for sending this over it's a fantastic looking keyboard and I think I'm going to replace my daily driver with it give this thing a real good workout because a lot of guys rave about the ducky keyboards their build quality and how well they work so yeah would like to test one out for an extended period of time let's see if they do live up to the hype I probably won't review it probably won't do a standalone review for a few reasons to which I'm absolutely flat out at the moment we have a full schedule for at least the next three weeks I think it is and it's not exactly a brand new product so it's been out since I think it was released December 2016 so yeah not the new is still relatively new but probably not new enough to warrant a standalone review but I will check it out I'll use it quite a bit and let you guys know what I think of it in a future episode so again thanks to play tech I'll throw a link to their store in the video description because these are hard to come across and they are selling at their store I believe they're working on an Aussie store soon so they can ship stuff over to Australia cos Playtech are based in New Zealand anyway thanks to them and yeah link will be in the video description ok next up I think we'll get this garbage bag package out of the way quite unattractive but hopefully something pretty cool inside we're about to find out I don't actually know who this is from but doesn't matter let's get into it I hate cutting into these things whoever sent this is patrolling me there's just layer after layer a bag here alright guys we made it that's probably the longest I've ever taken to unpackage a package alright so this is some gear from deep cool we have their new captain 240 X GB and a little air cool it looks like looks like the gamax GT the package took a bit of a beating hopefully everything insides all ok but this is an air cool that looks like a 120 millimeter fan and it doesn't mention a m4 support that does say Verizon so you would assume it support - hey m4 and no mention of Intel's new desktop CPUs the core while the core X range but this is an air cooler so I wouldn't recommend using it for those let's take a look anyway so as you would expect this is an RGB Bonanza so we have a clear sort of translucent strip at the top and there's that cut few cutouts in the aluminium plate at the top and that will give you some nice RGB effects that's what the Box leads us to believe anyway and may be able to get some b-roll of that so it looks like okay so it has that's pretty cool if you have sort of like an aura lighting or like MSI's mystic lighting feature on your motherboard so your mouth will has an RGB header this can connect straight to your motherboard and you can control that value motherboard software so you have to install any third-party software there other than the third-party motherboard software alternatively you can plug the fan and the RGB lighting on top of the heat sink into this little inline controller that just connects which is really cool to a SATA power connector so not a 4-pin molex connector which is good I'm glad we're seeing so is being used as less and less so that just connect strictly do power supply and then you have just a few options here for adjusting things like you know the effect the color the speed and stuff like that so I think yeah modes speed and something else but yeah that's very cool so for those like their RGB lighting this looks to be a good option yeah so anyway their new air cooler I'll probably look at that in a review shortly and then this is the main attraction the captain 240 EXO the original Captain series the VX schools were very popular so it comes with a 240 millimeter radiator or a 120 millimeter radio so so essentially you get a single 120 millimeter fan with the 120 millimeter version or with the 240 millimeter version a pair of 120 millimeter fans alright so the fans themselves don't feature any kind of RGB lighting I do not believe but what does is the new water block so previously all the models I'm aware of simply had a red lighting I think this was a red shoe probably red liquid as well so it was basically all red at their previous versions which was great if you did some kind of black and red themed build or a build that included some kind of red highlights but if you didn't then it was kind of useless it didn't really suit so they've gone with RGB so you can use a green or blue or pretty much any other color so this 240 millimeter version little bit of cardboard stuck in the radiator on so yeah this 240 millimeter radiator version I believe it's selling the RGB version is a bit pricey is a hundred and thirty dollars u.s. which is quite a big markup over the standard version which was about $90 so we may see that price we reduced over time because what is it at $40 us is a big premium to pay for some GB riding and in Australia that works out to be 170 dollars Aussie whereas previously it was only like 125 dollars Aussie see I do expect those prices to correct me how a bit more competitive shortly but also it's well I should I should say it's not just I believe RGB yes that's correct it's not just RGB waiting for it on top of the block there you do also get in the package which is some of the cool addition an RGB light strip so you can put that on the side of the radiator or you know your case window so I like that but you do get that included I know these aren't terribly expensive but it is cool that it integrates all within the one package so again you've got an inline controller which uses a solder connector there so the power connector same as what we just saw or alternatively you get an adapter so you can plug the block and the light strip into your motherboard header if you have one of those or some other sort of RGB controller so it's also very cool and then we've got all the appropriate mounting stuff here and it looks like we do have a m4 support it's interesting to the LGA 1366 so I don't know if it's got the largest socket support for board Wally and skylake X and a lot sort of stuff KB like X anyway that's something I'll look into I will be reviewing this separately see what the thermals are like see how well it performs and yes that'll be interesting but yeah good looking cooler keen to see how those RGB FX look I won't be providing any b-roll that you guys will just have to wait for the review yeah it looks to be a much better product than the previous version although it is essentially the same product much better product for those would like to show off their systems I should say because now you have that full gamut of RGB wiring RGB here RGB light strip and that all integrates very nicely so it's going to look really good in those custom builds so I'm also keen to see what the thermals are life I might give it a torture test and Chuck on overclock 70 100x and see how that goes it's a bit of a brutal test but it probably won't pass that since the top of the range Corsair all in ones didn't so you're maybe something a bit more sensible maybe the six core Core i7 70 100x or something like that overclocked would work better okay they'll save that all for the review you guys can check that out then have a review on that the next week or so I've created a huge mess here let me just tidy up quickly okay clean a little bit of space we'll get onto the next package what have we got here little green tape package actually this is something I ordered hi I purchased this because I couldn't get one and you guys have been hounding me to do a test so I had to bite the bullet and buy it myself thankfully it's not terribly expensive and here it is the GeForce GT 1030 I finally have one this little sucker has been extremely elusive very hard to get my hands on so yeah I just bought the bullet and apparently I got the last one they hadn't stuff as well so that was a bit lucky but it is a true gigabyte a low-profile MSI model I'll take that and show you guys MSI actually has a dozen different models of the GT 1030 on offer so I think they plan on selling quite a few of them but as you can see this is the low profile model it has the full hype record at the moment but it also comes with a half-height bracket so that's good and it is a dual slot card which you might not expect from such a small car but that is because it is completely passively cooled so that should make it very quiet indeed don't expect too much cool wine or anything like that from this card and yeah very light on power usage I paid I think it was a hundred and twenty Australian dollars for this card which is pretty good and I will be comparing this head-to-head with the rx 550 so it'll be a battle of the sub hundred-dollar u.s. GPUs the potato cards if you will so not a lot to say about this card apart some the fact that it is surprisingly weighty though that is a pretty chunky element of heatsink if I'm honest comparing with the rx 550 good head-to-head battle I think they're both about $80 u.s. so again about 120 dollars Australian so that's about as cheap as gaming graphics cards get though how well at games is yet to be seen though the rx 550 when I tested that quite a while back with the G 4560 it was very capable good for eSports titles and stuff like that see and this has no legacy connectivity which is good you've just got a HDMI out and a DisplayPort out see a smart little card this one King the tested I'll probably start testing that tomorrow okay so we've still got four packages to get through let's get this little one out of the way so as many of you are hopefully all of you are aware I reviewed this sky like X CPUs recently so that's the six core 700 X the eight core 78 20x and the ten core 7900 excellence the core i9 model and the other two were designated as core i7s anyway they were provided to me by asrock and another source that doesn't want to be named but so whatever but yeah they weren't provided by Intel Intel promised me CPUs they emailed me when I was at Computex so that was at least two weeks before the release and they said we're going to provide you with at least the ten core and one of the quad core Core i7 models they'll be shipping next week so I would have had them at least a week in advance that would be great and then nothing happened and there was delays and then they started ignoring emails and I don't know what happened with Intel anyway yep what we have here is the ten core CPU from Intel and yet it's a little late my reviews already up I got it from another source I knew they were going to be late it's about a week late so good job Intel thanks for that to actually need this anymore maybe I'll deal with this one sacrifice it anyway 70 100x thank you very much what do we have here ah if you guys recall in the last episode of unboxing boxes I got a new to nap Ness which I'm actually yet to review on Tech's lot but they forgot to send this is an optional extra didn't know that we're going to send it but they did plan to send it and it is one of those PCI expansion cards each like first expansion card and this particular model I believe yes it allows you to mount to MDOT two drives and I think they I think these are the nvme ones PCIe SSD is supported that must be mdme so yeah you can put a pair of m dot two nvme SSDs on this thing and that works as a cache drive so you can speed up be slower hard drives inside so basically this little heatsink here will pop off and there will be room for a pair of drives underneath it's got a pair of temp sensors and stuff but I'll be adding that to my review all right we're getting there this is an extremely light package if you look there's absolutely nothing in it well we got some black paper mmm hello logitech pro not that package is extremely white let's have a look what's inside I'm not convinced there's a mouse in here so this is the new Logitech pro and basically that's all it's called the pro or yep Pro on the box I don't know if it's pro pro gaining now so yeah I think it's just the pro and as the name would suggest it is targeted at pro damage so eSports gamers it has the pmw 3366 sensor so that's pretty much as good as it gets zero smoothing acceleration and all that good stuff six button so it's obviously more designed for per first I'll try again it's designed for first-person shooters I would assume based on the button configuration the more classic shape of the mouse more designed for right-handed users because you've got the thumb button there but if you were left-handed you could use it quite comfortably as well see it's a very minimalistic Mouse extremely lightweight very very comfortable and it would suit so it would suit par man cool grip I'll be better for palm it sort of really nice wide mouse wheel there so you won't miss you've done selection and stuff very very comfortable it is for a very basic plain looking mouse still quite pricey it's I believe $60 u.s. and that places is around $100 Australian so it's not outrageous but for a very sort of basic looking sort of bland looking now that is quite pricey however the focus here has been on quality and performance rather than sort of gimmicky flashy looking features there is some blue lighting I'm not sure if it's RGB but there's definitely a couple of lighting accents on it it is supported by Oh 2 year warranty though so that's not too bad for a mouse it's not extreme or anything but yet it's good it's better than a 1u orangie that's for sure yeah and designed basically for guys that consider themselves pro gamers or that genuinely are pro gamers so I certainly wouldn't do this thing justice but yeah it's very nice feel to it glides are really nice on this surface I'm keen to give it a test I'll definitely be pairing this with that ducky shine 6 ki boy later on today and giving them both the go together could be a good pairing these two so yeah so not much else to tell you about this I'll throw up some b-roll if I but I probably already have have it lit up and stuff like that not sure if there's many reviews of these but you have a specs definitely look good pro esports type gaming mouse okay and lucky laughs I've been saving this one to last because I dunno what it is or at least I hope it's what I think it is yes it is my huawei p10 plus if you guys recall a few episodes ago I talked about my brand new Samsung Galaxy s8 Plus which I was very pleased with this one I got it it's an amazing looking phone feels great the features on it performance is excellent the camera is really good yeah really sleek awesome looking phone obviously hugely hyped at the moment is one of the best smartphones money can buy unfortunately I think it was the second day second or third day of owning it i sat back on my desk chair upstairs and it slipped out of my pants because it's glass all around and it's got a special coating on it that makes it extremely slippery it's meant to reduce fingerprints but it just makes it like a wet bar or soap okay let's let our my pants fell about 40 centimeters onto a plastic caster wheel on my gesture and completely shattered costing me two hundred and twenty dollars to get it replaced because I did have insurance but it was still 220 Australian dollars to get it replaced and yeah I wasn't impressed with its lack of durability I've now got a case on it but honestly if it did the exact same thing if it had the same fall and landed there I don't think the case would help at all so I just wasted probably 40 dollars on that and I'll protect the back nicely but not so much the front anyway I wasn't really impressed you do get lucky you know phones can break I've had a dozen phones over the years and never ever cracked broken or anything like that and this one within a few days but yeah like I said you can't get unlucky then I jumped online and saw the hundreds of thousands of people that had smashed theirs within a day or whatever from yeah ridiculously small drops and things like that so yeah proved not to be very durable at all and when I did plan when I did I should say pay to get it replaced what they do is they ship you out a new phone which I did show in that episode and then you ship back the damaged one and when I dropped it there it shattered on the corner and it sent about six big hairline fractures that you could clearly feel through the screen of the phone and I thought I'm going to see how durable this thing really is before I send back the smashed one so I got a nail and hammered it into a bit of wood and I just tapped the front of the screen which mind you had already been weakened and had like I said six fractures through it and I hit hit it on the nail and there was a small mark rub it off and not even a scratch so then I was actually belting it just about hammering the nail in with the face of the galaxy si+ and it sort of left a white powdery mark rubbed that off and there was basically almost no mark it was a very tiny little scratch but you didn't notice it at the screen on again I smashed it a few more times could not damage the front of the screen it was that strong and then I got the edge of the screen so the opposite side to it so like that there was a blow there which had cracked it on the opposite side which was completely untouched I just went like that just tap to the nail and completely cracked it even worse than the first one tried it three more times if you just gently tap it like that on a surface with very little force just completely destroys the screen meanwhile in the middle of the screen you can belt it and not do any damage at all so they've spent a lot of time over the years with the grille glass all the different types of glasses they do use to make them very durable and they've done a fantastic job based on what I found and then Samsung go and make it all how do I say a Polish a bit gimmicky a bit eye-catching add the curved edge which doesn't really add anything to the phone at all and it just weakens it significantly without the curved edge I think this thing would just about be bulletproof and possibly removing the glass back and putting some Elementium there or whatever anyway I won't go on and on about it like I already have haha I've did a bit of a rat in the I think was to unboxing boxes ago and just said I want to get rid of the phone which I do it survives Computex with the case but I haven't actually dropped it since I'm still fearful if I do drop it once that'll be the end of it and then while I must have seen that video they reached out and said well ah very good out we've got the new p10 + which we believe to be much more durable and an equally impressive phone good camera and all that sort of stuff that's basically one it's an expensive hand so it's like a thousand dollars Australian obviously I claimed that in tax and whatnot because I am self-employed so it's not that crazy but I want it for the good camera because I do your Instagram and Twitter and all that sort of stuff for the channel so a good camera is imperative so while I have sent up the p10 + which I know almost nothing about at this stage but I'm keen to give it a good go I believe Tim has the standard peat enmity we'll be reviewing not necessarily on the channel but for text spot it already it's a very nice looking phone feels great and it doesn't have the curved edge screen which just shadows with ease so let's have a look at this thing so I will be ditching the Samsung Galaxy s8 plus I'll be getting rid of that phone and I'll be replacing it with this and already I mean it's got the attributes to be a much more durable phone so on the back it looks like it's either I think that's metal that's very cold so it's got some sort of metallic backplate so yeah that'll scuff up over time and maybe even dent off a few drops but it's not going to shatter and look like rubbish so that's good and then on the front no curved edges we have a steel band around the edges of the phone looks like that does protrude a bit from the top glass but if it's as strong as the front of this then it's not going to be a problem slightly smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S 8 plus so the case actually slightly smaller not a lot in it slightly same width just slightly shorter yeah I'm keen to give that a go it is gold and white which probably wouldn't have been my first preference but wow I provided it for free so I'm not going to complain and it is a very good looking phone so kina set this up and give it a go yeah this will be my new phone from this point forward like I said I'll be getting rid of this hopefully I don't shatter it before I do the back in the case I don't trust out of the case at all so yeah huge thanks to wildlife for sending that out hopefully it looks after me well I'm sure it will Matt you use the Huawei p9 for a long time I know Brian over at Tech City uses the p9 swears body absolutely loves it and people his r59 looks like it's been through some sort of sandblasting machine it's got just about no paint left on it but still works perfectly he treats it quite roughly he says and then never had a problem with it so a bit like my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that was fantastic as well anyway so I've got half a spare 10 core CPU here is a good CPU of course the power-hungry bit hot but yeah appreciate having another one for testing like I said I'll probably end up deleting one of them well that's pretty much everything for this episode of unboxing boxes I believe this is episode 31 we've done quite a few of these now it was cool we've got a bit of everything in this one I've got myself a nice new keyboard to go test out thanks to the guys at play tech be sure to jump over their store have a look at the various models they've got of the ducky keyboards I know they've got this special edition in the red blue and obviously the brown switches because that's the model I've got and I'm going to be pairing that with this new pro-gaming now see if I can up my game with this not don't play a lot of first-person shooters these days though I do enjoy them so I have to maybe fire up a couple of games tonight and have a go yeah see how I do but I mostly play games like Starcraft 2 and things like that could also be quite handy for that so give that a go keen to get these all set up I'll be using the captain 240 X on a test system I'll be reviewing that shortly set up my phone very candidate like I said I put a lot of things to set up I've also got to set up the GT 1030 and benchmark that see how that handles see what kind of settings you guys can expect to use at 1080p so yeah that'll be cool anyway that is going to definitely do it for this one I'm your host Steve see you again next time guys
