welcome to an unboxing of a product that's been through the war zone a little bit however the internal carton is not in rough shape but we do need this outside one so we can just cover the specs so this is the Samsung 900 x 4 B this is an ultrabook but it is a 15 inch led-backlit 400 nits non-glossy display where Samsung is also claiming a 170 degree viewing angle so this is a very premium ultrabook this is in there nine series so you know it's not going to come cheap it comes with a dual core i5 which can turbo up to two point three gigahertz it also has eight gigs of memory at 128 gig SSD and all your usual wireless connectivity including wireless-n Bluetooth and wide eye or wireless display so here's the internal carton which uses a nice matte black finish and silver samsung series 9 lettering you got like the rainbow reflective thingamajig ok let's open it up inside we find a power cable I know but this has been on box before I apologize guys I'm rhian boxing this particular product see what we got here probably some manuals and driver disks and who a microfiber cloth you never have enough of these system recovery media ok get started guide of like Windows or Google you can just use Google to research how to use Microsoft products because their best of friends these days ah users guide essential guide ok there we go go ahead and put all that back in there we are pretty much done with the documentation it has a one year warranty and it comes with a little depth or what's this guy for em or there we go so that is oh okay it's just a micro USB to ethernet adapter it's nice that it comes with that because some laptop manufacturers make you buy the adapter for the for the low-profile ports which i think is sort of ludicrous if you're going to build the port into the laptop you might as well make I can use it we have wow look at that that is a very very sleek power brick and check that out that's a Windows khoa I haven't seen one like that before it's on the power brick itself instead of on the laptop Wow interesting okay slick apparently thinks that's not a very good idea um I'm sort of with them on that one because the power brick is a lot easier to lose and not lose the laptop and than it is to lose a laptop and like still need your code for something so um anyway it is ah yes so now we get into the not API mean check this out we have to do the iphone comparison because when we have something that is as slim and sleek as this check that out so it is only point 58 inches thin at the edge that's the reason for needing the low-profile port for the for wired networking because there just isn't enough room to build in a full-size rj45 port on this notebook over what was it over 30,000 hours that is labor hours nan hours went into the design of the aluminum unibody shell that Samsung is using for this notebook now this is a 15 inch notebook which means that in spite of the fact that you are using an ultrabook you are not going to be limited in terms of your screen real estate or your resolution it uses a 1600 x 900 screen and as i mentioned before it is a high brightness here we go so we'll show you the actually let's wait till it gets booted up although samsung claims it boots up in less than 15 seconds which i think we're pretty much can we can say is verified now check that out that was the entire boot time from from start to finish wow that's actually really cool so I'd say the the side-by-side viewing angle is significantly better than the up-down viewing angle however screen overall looks pretty good and my see did I say the resolution already yeah 1600 x 900 okay so it's a 15-inch 1600 x 900 is extremely thin so we're going to do the iphone comparison here again just to show you guys how skinny the top of this notebook is the overall builder that though feels excellent like you guys can see that in spite of it then this here I'll show you how much flex there is to the design almost nothing here and then on the keyboard itself I mean I can't I can't do almost anything a plastic shell like triple the thickness of this one wouldn't have that kind of rigidity even if it's a really well designed one the keyboard uses a chiclet style and this is not a bilingual keyboard although if you buy it in Canada i SPECT there's a I suspect there's a chance he'll you'll get a bilingual keyboard you've got a very very large touchpad so that's really nice to see ya I guess stuffs I mean what else is there to really say a ventilation holes are here there's your cooling fan although it's not even spinning right now well there's one fan spinning in there somewhere but it's incredibly quiet right okay so here let's let's finish let's show okay remember and I own all that okay here we go so on this side we have our power in as well as USB to headphone microphone mini HDMI or is that Mike regime that's micro HDMI I think very small HDMI okay and there's that network adapter port dudette there's a microphone in so it actually has a built-in microphone for you know webcamming it up as your webcam don't worry trust me it's tech two USB 3.0 ports as well as hold on sorry guys yep that is a VGA out so you'll will need an adapter for that one also we have an SD card reader that's night kind of nice full-size SD card reader under a little flap here so I just want to make a few comments on the overall build quality of the notebook this is significantly better than the other two ultrabooks that we took a look at on my NCIX tech tips channel the zenbook as well as the macbook air it just feels really really really solid the hinge feels good too i mean i can with confidence hold up this notebook by the edges here and kind of swing things around like it feels incredibly strong considering the petite form factor that we're dealing with here i mean remember guys the electronics can keep getting smaller and more efficient and more miniaturized but when it comes to you know building hinges that are durable the technology is just like you just have to spend a bunch money on the materials there's no there's no magic bullet where like you can refine the manufacturing process and make the transistor smaller so it's you know easier to build a durable hinge no you just have to actually build a durable hinge I think that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out this oh actually oh no no okay it has an eight cell battery didn't mention that before we did mention the specs yeah I think that pretty much wraps it up so thank you for checking out this
