Corsair RM series power supplies are optimized for silent operation click now to learn more welcome to my unboxing and overview of what must be the ugliest box that we have ever encountered here and not particularly great packaging either this is the SD 3500 V and it is a lot more exciting than its ugly box and ugly packaging would actually indicate so it is a dock and you might go oh man really Linus and I'm like yeah it's a dog so what docks are good for is expanding well okay what docks were traditionally used for was notebooks would have like these proprietary connectors on the bottom of them and then you'd like plug them into these docks and you'd get a bunch of extra i/o well nowadays docks are a little bit different so this one right here uses a single USB 3 connection so there it is right there on the back USB 3 and it adds a butt ton of i/o to your ultra book HDMI DVI Ethernet and 4 USB 2.0 ports so why do we need this and the answer is well because notebooks have just completely forgotten about IO so this notebook right here is a 15 point 4 inch model from Vizio it's super slim super sexy and has super HDMI out and 2 USB 3 ports and that is it it is incredibly frustrating to not be able to plug in like almost anything to it at a time by the time you plug in a mouse and like a USB Drive you can't plug in your card reader and then you you just kind of stuck so this one adds all of that more like permanently attached i/o at the back so you can walk in plug in the single USB 3 B cable so it looks a little something like this then you plug in that single cable to your notebook and then you'll have all this i/o on the back so your keyboard and mouse and peripherals can all be already set up and it actually adds 2 USB 3 SuperSpeed ports on the front it should be noted guys remember this is not made of magic so there's a single five gigabit per second connection to your PC so everything here is going to be sharing it so if you were to hammer everything at the same time it would slow down but there's two USB 3 ports at the front as well as front panel headphones and microphone in which can be another frustrating thing about many ultrabooks these days is that they're using those is the headphone microphone combo jack so if you don't happen to have a device and you don't happen to have an adapter or that's inconvenient for you then you can go ahead and do this so there you go guys multi monitor output it comes with some adapters and stuff I guess so you can you have to plug it into power because there's a bunch of stuff in there including a USB to Ethernet bridge as well as a USB sound card as well as a USB to video adapter and it comes with a couple of other adapters as well so depending on what kind of outputs you have on your notebook it'll allow you to it oh cool it comes with a DVI to HDMI adapter those are handy and then it also comes with a DVI to vga adapter so depending on what all you've got going on in terms of your external peripherals you should be able to plug in pretty much whatever you want is this the only device that does this thing the answer is no it's not in fact there are many devices that do this Kensington just happened to send us one and since we've never unboxed anything like this before I was like okay yeah sure by the way this is a pierced ubi dvi-i which is great that means you can even plug into a VGA monitor if your computer again modern slim laptops just HDMI which has no analog pins inside it can be very handy thank you for checking out my unboxing an overview of the 3,500 V from Kensington don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos oh yeah it has a nice heft to it so it shouldn't just like immediately fall over when you rearrange the cable oh yeah don't forget to like the video or just like it or leave a comment don't forget to subscribe all that good stuff you
