Pulling it out of the box
So after hearing that the new, and HIGHLY anticipated
AsusU2E notebook was on its way to the US for the first time, I waited by
the docks in order to see the shipment, commandeer it and nab one for
myself.? Looks like it worked out.
For now, I'm going to go through a classic unboxing of the unit, but you'll have to wait a few more days for the full review.
First
note, the box is HEAVY for an ultra-light notebook; about 13 lbs.? The
box inside the shipping box is very high quality and looks like a high
end part.
The box removed - very large "Vista Ready" sticker on the box.? Uhhh....I hope so since Vista is installed.
Whoops!? Because this system was early we caught it with an S6 image on it - another
Asus notebook that uses this same style box.? Don't worry, your Asus U2E will have a "U2" here.?
Opening
up that flap shows a small briefcase-type case that hold the notebook
goodness.? Again, this is the one used for the Asus S6 - the U2E case
will be a black suede.?
There it is - the first U2E sample in the states.
Here is the notebook in its glory on the edge of the box.
Under the notebook is storage area for all the included extras - and there are tons of them!
Open
up the left and you'll find many power adapters (for various
international plug types) as well as the larger, 9-cell battery.?
On
the right...even more power cables!? Seriously, there are like a dozen
in here.? Obviously these cables give the box its heft.
Here is the
unit opened up with its LED lit 11.1" screen, keyboard, fingerprint reader and mousing surface on display.
One
final image for you to pour over for sizing comparisons.? On the
bottom: HP n6400 notebook; middle: Asus U6E notebook; top: the new Asus
U2E.?
More to come soon!!
