this episode of techno buffalos brought to you by lynda.com well that's up everyone John Renji from TechnoBuffalo it's an unboxing of this guy covering my face it is the latest Chromebook from Toshiba it's actually won one of our CES Best in Show awards it comes in a pretty awesome 209 price packs a decent Chromebook punched go ahead open it up and take a first look I think here is the box for the Toshiba Chromebook looking all laptop II but don't confuse this with a Windows machine this is all Chrome OS all the time I just call it Toshiba Chromebook manum makes life pretty easy ass picture of the device right there on the front on the back of it there's another picture of the device on the spine we list all the specs but you're not here to read I will run you through all the specs anyway let's go ahead and cut the classic here all right tapes cuts go ahead and pull up the tab and some things don't fall over all over me we will do this right-side up and boom we've got what I think is probably gonna be a Chromebook under here alright so we've got a QuickStart guide for getting started relatively quickly we've got a power cable and power cable and power brick it's a proprietary a little up in style in case you're wondering non-magnetic or anything all right but that's not overly exciting here is the Chromebook this actually won one of our best of CES awards because of its price it comes in at a pretty startling a 299 dollars so you get you know pretty capable little Chromebook for a relatively inexpensive price go ahead and open that pull this thing out and grand reveal boom Toshiba Chromebook all chromed out like it just got back from Pitt my ride so we're going to open it up and you are looking at a 13 inch screen I don't believe that as a touchscreen if I remember correctly but we'll take a look at that when we turn it on it's on the spine two USB 3.0 ports it's got an Intel Celeron processor in here as well and it's also gonna come with the hundred gigs of SkyDrive and a pretty beastly battery that should get you about nine hours so you've got HDMI out as well 3.5 millimeter headset jack SD card reader which is also a nice feature then you've got a lock port let's go ahead Jenna's going on and see it looks like so you got the computer all set up and I will say the keyboard feels really really nice as I mentioned it is definitely not a touchscreen it's HD it appears to be just 720 so it's typical Chrome OS here you've gone sort of a display of icons you can pick what you want down there if you go into your essentially your app drawer you can see what's here again it's all sort of web enabled and web cactus but I think Google's in a really nice job and it seems to be getting better and better you've got a file explorer now here and things of this sort of become important to using a regular OS the server gets closer and closer to being a regular operating system but of course Chrome and all of its chrome glory is here the keyboard is really nice to type on feels like any full-size keyboard the touchpad here isn't the multi-touch and scrolling is really really smooth on it it has sort of almost like a plasticy clicky feel to it and it's sort of hard to translate over the video but it works really well on a giant so probably one of the better touch pads i've seen on a Chromebook again I do wish there was a touch screen option here to scroll but for the price you can certainly live without it so this has been a first look and unboxing at the Toshiba Chromebook any particular you guys want to see be sure
