what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here is an unboxing I'm really looking forward to this is the asus eee pad slider this guy doesn't transform but it does slide let's go ahead open the box and see if it has all the right moves took me about 30 minutes to come up with that injure alright so here we have the eee pad slider it's brother the eee pad transformer still is one of my favorite tablets out on the market so I'm hoping this is going to continue the trend it's very similar to spec department but we'll talk about all that goodness so here is the box is going to come from asus eee pad slider picture of it doing its sliding action on the back unlike the transformer this guy is permanently attached to its keyboard so you always have that option there and available so picture of the picture of it you pet slider you kept slider great alright let's go ahead and take it off and it looks like this tip has been cut already unfortunately not by me so i might not be the first one to unbox this up maybe i am not entirely sure alright so we've got a little tab will pull that out open it it looks like ah looks like someone else might have gotten their mitts in here before me but here is the eee pad slider push off to the side for just a quick moment see what else we're going to get into you cats latter box we're gonna have a knee pad slider charger which is powered to USB it's great to see the charges via USB but it's a proprietary connection so they're not gonna go to charge unfortunate with micro USB i'm not going to carry enough power to do so oh it goes back box gets throw on the floor and a loud crash crash and here is the asus eee pad transformer our very own mic Perlman who has on many occasions ranted about how he doesn't see a need for tablets isn't like any tablets actually said that this is the one tablet you actually could envision himself using alright so let's go ahead and run through the specs on this guy's i go ahead and peel off its plastic you can see some of them right here touch slides pipe all over rip off with plastic I don't like feeling like someone else's touch this before I should have prima nocta all right out of the plastic chimeric we got Jessamine you guys all right here we have the slide I think it goes it this way all right so now let's run through the specs and you can stare into my fan we've got a 10.1 inch IPS screen of the resolution of 1280 by 800 and it supposedly has 178 degree viewing angle kind of cool take your tune here so you're gonna call that dual core action gig of ram ways to point 12 pounds android 3.2 honeycomb comes pre-loaded with Polaris Office on which is great five megapixel camera on the back and there's a front-facing camera on the front pricing on this guy kind of varies a newegg has listed for 479 whereas Amazon's got it up on the 700 bucks so definitely shop around if you want to look at this guy to configuration 16 and 32 gigs this is the S 101 which is going to come with 16 games listen I can figure out the slightest guy open so push it slide slide happiest boy come on it for me I can see there's keyword in there I can feel it yeah there you boom to come in to figure out and it's got that slider name because check that out it's got a full keyword I'd actually feels like a pretty decent keyboard now the keys have real truly nice throw on then there's that getting yo you're talking about you've got a full number 0 across the top got your spacebar and your android buttons here there's your home button back button menu button you've got four way arrows and all that business but everybody saying John turn it on so I'm gonna go ahead and turn it on hey baby let's find a power bite on this guy we're doing always live on camera here we don't we don't mess around so there's a power button will do a quick tour of it hoping that there's enough juice to boot up let's say get a quick view that is putting up of the side and how that slider mechanism work so it's a single hinge go ahead and push that back and see it slowly slide its way down and now I think I'm better equipped to slide it open again you can see it's blue look I put it down and I grab here and I do a little pushing action I should get this app right open and it does so it takes a little bit again you stupid to not bad two three four times you're gonna be all set so you can use this for note-taking it's going to be probably a great tool for students or business folks you want to do business business business business and here we are I just started typing stuff in android let's go back to the home screen and go back the tablet mode here and take a quick look around have a mood alright thanks i'm in three months but i can connect it to the internet let's see what we've got on the sides here so we got that button which looks like it's turned off screen so that happened we've got volume rocker up and down there's your power button we've got a micro SD card slot there for expandable storage this is a brown sort of soft touch feel to it continuing our tour around speaker grill and i'll go over all this stuff up in much more detail in the review and hands-on i'm going to do is just a very first impression just seeing this as i figure out the tablet I'm like a deer taking its first steps with this thing there you've got a USB port which should be functional 3.5 millimeter headset jack it's got some feats on it so it's not going to slide around by its name that's not why they call the slider I don't want to pry them off go ahead and cancel and I think we've got the same issues of widgets on here that I really liked in the transformer they're very subtle but they work very well they don't take away from the honeycomb experience things appear to be pretty smooth so I'm going to go ahead and set this guy up see how it works and of course full hands-on demonstration review coming up very soon sandy in particular that you want to see you're going to comments down below I mentioned that the asus transformer the cousin to the slider here i was one of my favorite tablets is actually one of my three favorite tablets on the market the other two let's do a real quick size comparison here here's a galaxy tab 10.1 it shares a same screen size you can see the thickness so you get a bit of a difference obviously that keyboard adds a bit of bulk it doesn't add that much weight 2.12 pounds is not bad and here is the ipad 2 so you can make a pretty awesome tablet sandwich this guy would not be bad to carry around at a backpack and tell you doesn't feel all that heavy it's really not a thin tablet you know it's not going to win model of the year anything but it's very very usable you got that pretty awesome keyboard you don't have to carry a completely separate accessory with you if you type you know quite a bit so on the iPad you got to carry separate keyboard the eee pad transformer you got to carry the separate keyboard and you have to buy those separate sesor ease this one comes standard so if you want to use it you've got that I've got a bit of a bezel on the side so you can hold it and get your tablet e fingers all over it so I'm rambling this is jon rettinger blue technobuffalo with an unboxing of the asus eee tab from a pad slider asus eee pad slider hope you guys enjoyed plenty more coverage coming up soon see you guys in the next video you
