HP ENVY 17 3D Laptop Hands-On and Unboxing

, Dec 14th 2010 Discuss [5]

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 gets video unboxing; user-guide goes live

, Dec 13th 2010 Discuss [3]

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.

Nexus S unboxing and hands-on

, Dec 11th 2010 Discuss [28]

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.

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.

, Dec 2nd 2010 Discuss [10]

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.

First impressions and some unboxing-style fun after the cut.

LG VL600 LTE Modem hands-on and unboxing

, Dec 1st 2010 Discuss [3]

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.

Bose Bluetooth Headset unboxing & hands-on

, Nov 17th 2010 Discuss [0]

When we first spotted the Bose Bluetooth Headset last month, we said it would have to do a lot in order to live up to both the $150 price tag and the PR hyperbole. It seems Bose took that as a challenge, since as of today the headset is fresh to the SlashGear test bench. Check out our first-impressions after the cut.

, Nov 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

Verizon’s latest Android smartphone, the Samsung Continuum, has landed on the SlashGear test bench, and though we’ve seen our fair share of cellphones in recent months, the Continuum’s dual-displays are still leaving us curious about usability. Another from Samsung’s growing range of Galaxy S family devices, the Continuum puts a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED primary screen on top and then a smaller, 1.8-inch “Ticker” display control bar and info panel underneath. Check out the unboxing and some first impressions after the cut.
