what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at a Chromebook from Samsung this is my very first experience with Chromebooks I've never played with them before and I can't wait to get inside and get a closer look this one is the series 5 550 which is Samsung's top of the range in the world of Chromebooks it includes a 3G module so you can use your SIM card and get connectivity while you're on the go they do have a lower end model which is Wi-Fi only so anyways let's get to the unboxing let's talk about what's happening here you've got a little bit of paperwork as well as a beautiful little chrome sticker that you can do with whatever you please and other than that it's a pretty simple unboxing the only other thing you're going to notice in here is a power cable to go with this mini little power brick which is always a plus it's a plus to have a tiny little power brick to carry with you although the Chromebook should give you about 6 hours of battery life for normal usage it's still nice to have a really small portable power brick to go with it so anyways let's take a closer look at the main attraction this is a t-series 5 550 Chromebook with the silver color silver finish along top upon closer inspection you'll notice a nice mirrored Samsung logo that's subtle it's small and then in the top corner you've got the chrome logo and the word chrome to identify the fact that this is a Chromebook on the bottom it's pretty straightforward you've got a couple of grilles for your fans and that's also the location of the speakers I'll give you guys a closer look at that towards the end of the video so opening it up I think it's pretty good looking at first appearance here you can take a look at the keyboard as well as the screen and the bezel you'll notice one more Samsung logo on the lower part of the bezel here then on the top part is where you'll see your webcam of course for web conferencing etc and taking a closer look at the keyboard it's a chiclet style keyboard that is basically the norm these days especially on thin and light notebooks ultrabooks etc this keyboard is a little bit different it has some different keys on it since this is a Chromebook it's not running Windows you've got enlarged ctrl and alt keys which is nice because those are used all the time forward and back keys you've got a refresh key you've got a believe a microphone up their brightness keys volume keys and the power button is also on the keyboard there's also a very nice large trackpad especially in comparison to the size of the notebook it's got a little line a little chrome bezel around the outside of it which i think is a nice touch on the side of the laptop you'll notice your power port Ethernet there's a display port for video out as well as one USB and a headphone jack and as you move to the other side you'll see an SD card slot one more USB port and the last thing on here is a Kensington lock for locking this up of course on the back side is where you'll insert your SIM card for that 3G connectivity that I mentioned earlier on the bottom is where you'll find your speakers they bounce off the table and then into your ears it's kind of an interesting design but it does function correctly I did test it out now booting it up is pretty straightforward you've got your chrome logo to greet you you've got to put in a few credentials your Google Account obviously in order to get up and running this is a 12.1 inch laptop for those of you wondering so it is really small and portable after you've got all your system updates installed you can either login as a guest or using those credentials I mentioned earlier first I logged in as a guest loaded up the beasts feet comm that's my blog by the way guys if you haven't checked it out yet I'll put a link to it down in the description but it's called the beast feed comm this this system is actually pretty snappy in the web browser whether you're scrolling using multi-touch or you're just looking at a video for example this one right here it runs fairly smoothly so I'm impressed at least at this point now if you go ahead and login with credentials like your Google Account you'll be greeted with this little interface here which goes over some of the features and functions of the notebook to help you get started with it because it after all it really is a new OS even though it's a Chrome browser and most people are familiar with it if you click on this little icon down in the bar you'll bring up all your different apps that are available through the App Store and they show up in this really clean little interface and these are essentially bookmarks to those apps which happen within the web browser anyway guys that's been a quick unboxing of the samsung series 5 550 chromebook can't wait to get more time to play with this and check it out if you guys enjoyed this unboxing please remember to like and favorite the video as it does help out a bunch and for people waiting for the ultimate gaming PC project more info is coming up very very soon and also if you're interested in pricing and availability on this Chromebook I'll drop a link down in the description of this video so you can go check that out alright guys thanks as always for watching I'll catch you in the next video later
