If you’re anxious to get your hands on Apple’s gorgeous new MacBook, you can now do so vicariously through a new unboxing video flagged by 9to5Mac on Wednesday.

The video is in Vietnamese, so we unfortunately can’t give you a good rundown of what the person is saying in the video while he’s conducting his unboxing (although we’re giving ourselves a pat on the back for knowing enough Vietnamese to know that “USB Type-C” means “USB Type-C” in English).

As you’d expect, the video shows off not just the new laptop itself but also its instruction manual and the various components it’s shipping with. It should be no surprise that the new MacBook is shipping with a minimal number of components since Apple has eliminated all but two ports on the new laptop — the headphone jack and a USB Type-C port.

Specifically, the new MacBook features a USB 3.1 port that delivers the device’s power, USB data transfer, HDMI and VGA capabilities, among other things. It has been controversial because many Mac users think they will miss having multiple ports for plugging in different accessories.

All the same, the laptop looks absolutely stunning — it’s incredibly slim and Apple has eliminated a lot of extra space in the name of making the device as compact as possible.

Check out the full unboxing video below.
