Packaging
The BigTyp 14 Pro comes packaged in an almost perfect cube box. Two small sections cut in the front and back of the box allows the CPU cooler to be seen through its’ plastic encasing. The front and the back of the package lack any detailed descriptions mainly because this information is placed on the sides of the box.

One side of the box covers the features with pictures to go along with it while the other side displays the specifications in a tabular fashion.

Opening up the box reveals a plastic case molded just to fit around the CPU cooler. Removing this simple plastic also gives us a plain white box which houses all of the necessary parts and user’s manual for installation.
