Take a look with me at this lovely ultraportable Lenovo laptop by the name of IdeaPad U260. This particular model comes in Clementine Orange and Mocha Brown, the one you’re about to see being the fabulous former. This notebook comes in your choice of Intel’s 1.33GHz Core i3-380UM or 1.33GHz to 1.86GHz Core i5-470UM processors, a Core i7 option up to 4GB of DDR3 memory and a standard 320GB 5,400rpm hard-drive (or 128GB SSD).
While there are an innumerable of products launched every year, there's only a few that warrant a special kind of attention. And still fewer that, if you happen to get it way earlier than everyone else, you take the time to get your camera, or find a camera, to take some photos of your prize. Despite all of the live videos, User Interface (UI) demonstrations, and images we've seen of the Notion Ink Adam tablet device, there are still naysayers out there, saying that the Android-powered device will never see the light of day. Well, for one lucky individual named Van Gunst (who's Dutch), he has proof that the tablet is real, and he was kind enough to take some photos.

It’s been a long time since we first caught sight of HTC’s Media Link, squeezed into an HTC Sense presentation back at the launch of the Desire HD and Desire Z. The two phones have launched and gone on sale, but it’s taken longer for the compact DLNA wireless streaming box to arrive. Patience has served us well, though, and now the Media Link is fresh on the SlashGear test bench.

Woo look what we got in the mail, a nice firey read green and white package from AUDEO containing some brand new PFE 022 + Mic earbuds. This is the set that they say are a perfect fit, have perfect bass, and perfect protection for maximum sound quality even at the lowest volumes! Take a peek as we open the package, the package inside the package, and the box and the taped up plastic container – these buds are seriously more protected from damage than most laptops.
With the Google Nexus S hitting Best Buy stores this morning, YouTube will soon be flooded with unboxing videos as gleeful owners get a first taste of Gingerbread. It's entirely possible that none of them will feature desktop ninjas in a completely interactive YouTube page, however, so if that's what you're looking for then you'll have to head over to http://www.youtube.com/ninjaunboxing2.

As you might already know, we’ve already had our fingers on a ENVY 17 3D in a small way back in October and indeed the laptop IS now for sale from HP – and you know what that means – Review time! Today we received no less than the ENVY 17 3D laptop in the mail in a freezing cold box (I am in Minnesota, after all,) and couldn’t help but to release it from its boxy prison before it was even able to thaw all the way out (you’ll notice when I flip the machine upside down that you can see my frozen fingerprints all over it.) Take a look below!
ASUS' Eee Note EA800 note-taking tablet is a curious device, opting for monochrome LCD instead of the usual frugal E Ink display, and positioned by the company as a resolutely niche, companion device rather than a converged do-anything slate. NetbookNews have snagged one of the first, managed to get ASUS to re-flash it with English firmware rather than Chinese, and then wasted no time before unboxing and demonstrating it on video.

Despite the speculation beforehand, Google launched the new Nexus S last week with little fanfare: no big press event, no gathering of Samsung, Android and T-Mobile execs on-stage to talk about how pleased they are to work together. A noticeable difference from the first-gen Nexus One, then, so does that make the Nexus S a minor update rather than another Android game-changer? Check out the SlashGear unboxing and some first-impressions after the cut.
Welcome to the first installment of our “Week With” series of reviews with the handheld L1 v2 Laser Pico Projector from AAXA. Marvel at its tinyness, laugh with joy when you realize the box is about six times larger than the actual device. Take a look inside with us as we explore a projector whose form is a handy pocket size. This first episode sees a very basic hands-on and unboxing of the device, as well as an in-depth photo exploration.
Google's Nexus S has landed over at Android Community, and Ewdi has wasted no time in getting the Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone opened up in a video unboxing. First impressions are good, too, with the handset being sturdy - if plasticky - in its construction, and Gingerbread proving slick on the 1GHz Hummingbird processor.

Advent’s Vega tablet seems to have surprised everybody with its popularity, not least retailer DSG who can’t seem to keep them in stock for more than a few hours at a time. Our Vega review unit braved the UK snow to arrive on the SlashGear test bench, and we wasted no time checking out what Tegra 2 brings to the Android table. First impressions and some unboxing-style fun after the cut.

There are arguments as to whether Verizon’s LTE network – as with Sprint and T-Mobile’s – is true 4G. Having been trying one of the carrier’s first 4G USB modems today, that discussion hardly seems relevant: this is undoubtedly the fastest mobile broadband experience we’ve had in the US to date. After the cut, first impressions and speed tests galore.
