welcome to an unboxing and first look at a gaming grade notebook from a soos this is the I can never remember their model number so I'm just gonna let you guys read it with me this is the G 53 s X D H 71 so this is a 15.6 inch gaming notebook it's got 12 gigs of RAM it's got a Core i7 quad core processor it comes with a two-year global warranty including one year of accidental damage protection includes a bag which I didn't know but that would explain why the box is huge so there's your Republic of gamers backpack which is actually not that bad okay one of those and it also includes look at this a notebook inside as well and there's a very specific reason that I'm going to be having a look at this particular notebook and that is because isus and I don't you know don't want to criticize them or anything but a sue seems to feel in their gaming notebook line that a gtx 560 m is good enough because they don't have anything with the gtx 570 or a GTX 580 M so what I'm gonna be doing is I'm gonna be taking this 15 inch notebook and I'm gonna be putting it head-to-head on my NCIX tech tips channel against a core i5 so that's a dual core whereas this one has a quad core a core i5 less ram but otherwise similarly SPECT configuration from one of their competitors with a GTX 580 so what we're gonna find out by comparing these two notebooks is what do gamers really need and they're getting them do they need higher-end CPUs and lots of RAM or do they just need the the most beast graphics possible and then go from there so we got some screws an LCD cleaning cloth notebook user manual only probably got something here about your warranty there's also some Logitech thing yet notebook warranty there you got your and whatnots on disk Wow look at that comes with a G 300 well where is it there it is look at that comes with a Logitech G 300 mouse - that is a beast package so they've definitely got the whole like package thing going on here I mean not that I'm saying that you know they are up like a package which could be perceived as good or bad depending on like what you want so notebooks 15.6 inch ones okay sorry sorry I'm calm down I'm calm down okay we got the power brick which I'm gonna do the obligatory iPhones comparison I'll let's uh let's lick have a look at that over there just don't get the package package shot going we try to maintain a professional demeanor on this channel you guys you try we fail okay there's your battery battery is kind of big but it doesn't really matter because it's there's notebook and the notebook is also kind of big so it is what it is okay there's your cord so now let's have a look at the notebook itself I've already talked a fair bit about the specs so I'm not gonna really get into that too much more here I'm gonna show you the battery installation it goes a little something like that and the thing about asu's G Series is they have a gorgeous rubberized finish that is a fingerprint resistant and be also slightly more durable than your typical glossy notebook which tries to be crazy can't stand glossy notebooks because as soon as you take like fabric and go like this it's like oh it's covered in micro scratches awesome so this is this is outstanding I love the finish on their D Series notebooks they've got a matte screen which is also awesome because you see some of their competitors using glossy screens on their gaming notebooks ah gamers won't know the difference TN panel glossy screen they'll think it's great you know what no I prefer matte screen especially for a high-end notebook like this is this not a cheap notebook this is well over $1,000 so you definitely want to see things like the accidental damage protection as well as matte screens high-end specs and overall good build quality one thing that I would potentially criticize about it is it has a lot of depth so you can see out here there's a lot of extra sort of baggage and that's where it's carrying the battery so just bear that in mind guys you're going to need a little bit of a bigger desk in order to accommodate one of these guys but if you're buying a high-end gaming notebook hopefully you knew that already so you got your headphone port your microphone port you got USB to USB 3 HDMI VGA ethernet and power in this is a good mix I still like to see VGA ports on notebooks you've got a fairly average sized touchpad keys are soft and quiet but not too soft ok it's got a full number pad nothing stupid as far as the keyboard layout is concerned we got full-size backspace shifts and enters so nothing really bothersome over there let's go ahead this is backlit to your stick yeah illuminated chiclet keyboards what else we got on here improve cooling stability reduce noise aha okay we'll have a look at that at the back and the soft touch I've talked about that already but the palm rest is also using soft touch mention 12 gigs of ram already ok over here we've got a DVD drive as well as a couple more USB to ports hardware buttons for your your lights as well as your ik locking and something to do with Republic of gamers and all likelihood based on the logo uh here we go no that's not it oh cool so that's a level up so that's an overclocking button very cool you can just overclock your cpu using the one button ok so on the back these are for ventilation so that is why we have so much space over here I guess so that they have room for the beast fans that they're going to be using to cool this bad boy so like I said the comparison that's coming is going to be this versus the GTX 580 model seeing how they stack up against each other do we need bigger CPUs do we need bigger GPUs how much of a value is there to buying a notebook with a super-powerful graphics card where power does it consume when you're gaming all this kind of stuff is going to be very interesting so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the g-53 so we'll just call it the g53 because it's basically a shell you can get in a lot of different configurations don't forget to subscribe to Lions tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other innuendo
