welcome to an unboxing with no boxes whatsoever Samsung was recently here in Richmond for the tech fair and they left behind a couple of their notebooks so I figured what the hey we might as well have a look at them right here in front of me I have the 530 you four and the five thirty you three these are a 13.3 inch and 14 inch models respectively from Samsung's three series of notebooks so while this is not necessarily the same kind of uber premium that you're going to see on something like a samsung 9 series which we also did an unboxing of their nine series ultrabook it's still pretty respectable when it comes to the form factor as well as the battery life so let's start with d530 you for which is this guy right here this guy has up to a one terabyte drive depending on the configuration you go with and what's cool about is it includes a 16 gig hiya SSD that they're using intel SRT technology in order to accelerate the storage on I'm a huge fan of SRT technology so I'm really glad to see that included in terms of the overall I oh oh right 14 inch screen which is running at 1366 x 768 resolution in terms of I oh you got your power you got your hinged Ethernet port very cool two USB 3.0 ports vga hdmi and a combo headphone microphone jack out and on the other side you have an optical drive which is tough in this kind of a form factor USB 2 as well as an SD card reader nothing really that sort of special on the bottom of the unit I don't know why I was expecting to find anything there on the top you got speakers your standard sort of chiclet keyboard as well as a shirley large trackpad we have dedicated left and right buttons this piece right here is actually made of aluminum which is kind of nice because it means it's less prone to wearing out and looking really gross although not as not as good at that as glass which we saw in one of the recent HP Envy notebooks that we took a look at got your webcam and that's pretty much it so stepping down to the 530 you three model this one doesn't have an optical drive so you still see two USB 2.0 ports an SD card reader on the other side you got your hinged Ethernet power USB three HDMI as well as a combo audio port and one of those adapted vga ports you'll have to buy the adapter if you want to use that but at least you have the option the u3 is actually a little bit thinner than the you for now they both have what samsung says is brighter than normal screens so these are 300 knit screens and they're both using dual core ulv processors oh another cool thing now compared to most entry-level notebooks these days which are using glossy screens these are both using matte finish screens now the the you for comes with an HP 75 50m graphics card whereas the u3 comes with intel integrated HD graphics and it also doesn't have the hybrid SSD hard drive thing going on for it either let's just see if there's anything sort of okay yeah I don't know why I did that again wasn't really expecting to find anything there both of them have aluminum tops that look quite nice and I think that pretty much covers it so this is basically what you would look like carrying around oh oh you know what here I should show you guys so it's in sleep mode now this is uh is pretty cool it wakes up really really fast I wonder if the battery died who's actually give me a second here guys so yeah my bad guys this laptop is not set for whatever reason um this was used in the trade shows as possible someone was playing around with it to come out of sleep when you open the lid so i'm going to show you guys how quickly it resumes from sleep now there it takes that long
