Chris Davies | Aug 24, 2010

ASUS' last collaboration with Bang & Olufsen resulted in the distinctive NX90; with the notebook manufacturers new N Series machines, it seems they relied only on B&O's audio skills and left their own designers in charge. The new ASUS N53JN and N73JN - with 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch displays respectively - get Intel Core i3 or i5 processors, NVIDIA Optimus graphics and, of course, the B&O developed ASUS SonicMaster audio.

Chris Davies | Apr 15, 2010

Space tulip, Minority Report prop or achingly expensive home audio equipment: all suitable descriptions for Bang & Olufsen's latest attempt to squeeze the very last drops from our wallets.

Danish electronics shop Bang & Olufsen seems to be on quite a roll these days, with a special edition laptop at CES, and now, a BeoVision 10-46, a 46” variant of their current Beovision 10-40. And compared to other TV speakers, its built-in speakers will definitely blow your mind.

Chris Davies | Jan 6, 2010

ASUS' NX90Jq collaboration with Bang & Olufsen looks bizarre enough in the press shots, but when we dropped by to check out the dual-touchpad notebook/desktop-replacement at CES 2010 it turned out to be even more distinctive in the metal.

Chris Davies | Oct 20, 2009

If a new phone isn't on your agenda, but you still fancy splashing some cash in Denmark's direction, then Bang & Olufsen's BeoVision 10 LCD display might satisfy. The 40-inch Full HD 200/240Hz TV uses LED backlighting for picture quality and reduced depth, meaning you can hang the set on a wall as if it were a particularly expensive picture.

Bang & Olufsen BeoCom 5 dual-landline & VoIP handset

Chris Davies | Oct 20, 2009

Bang & Olufsen have been through a phase of unusually shaped landline phones - the banana-esque BeoCom 2 is a good example - but they're returning to their slightly more sensible roots with the new BeoCom 5. The dual-line DECT phone works both as a twin landline handset and as a VoIP device, and magnetically docks either onto its charging plinth or onto a portable speakerphone (that also charges the handset).

Bang & Olufsen BeoTime clock/remote thinks it’s a flute

Chris Davies | Jul 15, 2009

Now, it's Bang & Olufsen time, so please suspend all disbelief and reset your "it's how much?!" shock reaction. The Danish company has unveiled its latest product, and we've a feeling Alyson Hannigan would approve. The BeoTime alarm clock best resembles a flute, but is actually a way to not only get you up in the morning but to control your house full of expensive B&O A/V equipment.

Brenda Barron | Mar 19, 2009

Okay, so this is pretty much the coolest TV I've seen--ever. Two models of the BeoVision 4 HDTV from Bang and Olufsen have already been announced. They measured in at 50 and 65-inches. But this latest HDTV clocks in at a whopping 103-inches. Yes, you read that correctly!

Samsung UltraTOUCH and BEAT DJ hands on

Chris Davies | Feb 16, 2009

We grabbed some hands-on time with Samsung's new UltraTOUCH flagship feature phone and the BEAT DJ music phone today, and there's some seriously impressive AMOLED action going on in both devices. The UltraTOUCH S8300 looks pretty certain to be a hit in Europe, where it will go on sale as the Tocco Ultra Edition. TouchWiz may be on top of Samsung's generic own-brand OS, but it's reasonably responsive and the whole thing feels sturdy and solid in the hand, despite the slender dimensions.
