Nokia Booklet 3G with Windows 7 unboxed

QueenB — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:17:54 +0000

While it isn’t available to purchase yet from Best Buy, over at Engadget they’ve got photos of the netbook being unboxed and shown with Windows 7. The netbook comes with the starter edition of Windows 7, which as Engadget note, only includes one wallpaper, the one shown but, I’m sure many will use their own photos anyway, or find other Windows 7 wallpapers from other sources. This is the first demo unit to arrive at Best Buy. You can view the photos of the unboxing after the jump.

Asus T91 unboxing video

QueenB — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:48:46 +0000

The T91 netbook from Asus, featuring a touchscreen display, is available in a few countries now and JKK Mobile have got their hands on one of the machines. Instead of the usual unboxing photos, JKK have opted for a video presentation of the unboxing ceremony. As well as unboxing their new netbook, the video shows the netbook booting up, along with a look at the touch screen interface and responsiveness.

The netbook features an 8.9 inch touch screen display, Intel Atom Z520 CPU and runs Windows XP Home for it’s operating system. It also features a semi 3D graphics card, created by Asus themselves.

UMID mbook M1 gets unboxed, compared to other mobile computing devices

David Gonzales — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:14:11 +0000

Back in March, it became public knowledge that a US 3G compatible version of the UMID M1 wasn’t ready for production yet. Fast forward to today, and full working models of the said mobile Internet device are already on their way to stores. Australia-based Justek will be among those who will sell the UMID mbook M1 first in stores, and a non-HSDPA version of the said machine was recently given to Pocketables for review by them. While we’re waiting for their full review, it would be a good idea to check out the outer appearance in full, as it is exposed nicely in a lot of unboxing photos. The packaging looks pretty neat and it contains just about every accessory/plug a UMID mbook M1 user would need. A crystal case is not included, though. To see the whole set of photos, navigate to the Pocketables unboxing post with the link below.

Acer Aspire One D150 unboxing and first impressions

David Gonzales — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 06:06:23 +0000

I’ve long waited for a chance to handle the 10-inch Acer Aspire D150. Today, I just had my chance, and for the course of the next few weeks I’m going to be all about it, this post being the first in a series that showcases the device in terms of both hardware and software. I’ve been a satisfied owner of the original Acer Aspire One, the 9-inch model, so I have somewhat high hopes for this one. Hit the jump to see our little gallery of unboxing photos and read my first impressions on the hardware.

The box contained nothing unusual. Just about everything a user would need–a power brick, cord, 6-cell battery and the 10-inch netbook itself. ‘Course, it wouldn’t have hurt if Acer included a leather pouch with this model just like they did with the 9-inch Acer Aspire One.

I felt that the Acer Aspire D150 was a great deal heavier than its predecessor. This shouldn’t be a surprise since it has a larger screen and theoretically more components (including a higher capacity hard drive and Bluetooth module, among others), but it was quite heavier than I expected it to be.

As for the outer appearance, I’d say I can describe it in just one word: beautiful. the color (red), the brushed metal casing (which is also part of the reason why there’s added weight), the rounded edges all compliment each other. To be honest, the design of the 9-inch Acer Aspire One was what first attracted me when I first saw it last year sitting next to stale-looking, generic white-colored Asus Eee PCs. This next-gen model takes the cake yet again. Based on design, I would still get this over the new Eee PC models. I don’t know, just personal preference.

All the other usual ports and connectors found on the 9-inch Aspire One, as well as other netbooks, are present. On the left side, there is one USB port, 1 VGA-out port, memory card reader (with a filler), audio in/out jacks, and an Ethernet jack. On the right side, there are two USB ports, the charger port and lock slot.

The Acer Aspire One D150’s 6-cell battery evidently bulges out round the back. This is yet another reason why the netbook is heavier overall, since it lugs on a weight of its own, but the benefit of a few extra hours of battery life far outweigh this little inconvenience. I’ll see how long exactly the battery lasts on a single full charge and include my findings in my full review.

The next two things I’m going to discuss about the Acer Aspire One D150 are among the biggest improvements. The keyboard is larger, and the trackpad is now done in a standard way where the left and right click buttons are positioned below the actual trackpad. I haven’t been able to do any long haul typing on the Aspire One D150’s keyboard yet, but from what I’ve experienced so far, it doesn’t differ much from the keyboard of the 9-inch model in terms of tactile feedback and travel.

It’s keys are somewhat larger, which makes for better typing, but graduating from the 9-inch model’s keyboard to this one won’t feel like you’ve just escaped from prison. As for the improved trackpad, while I like the fact that Acer moved the clickers below the touch panel, it would have been nice if they made it larger overall too. The more space to move my fingers on, the better. Anyway, it’s always easier to just use a USB mouse for on-screen navigation, so that’s not a problem at all (at least for me).

All Acer Aspire One D150 units come pre-installed with Windows XP Home Edition, and as I booted the device on I noticed that it took a bit longer than my old Aspire One to boot. The fact that it was also pre-installed with a fair amount of bloatware might have something to do with it. I’ll discuss more of this in my upcoming full review and comparison with the 9-inch Acer Aspire One.

Well, it doesn’t look like the Acer Aspire One D150 will disappoint. Right now, there’s no way to know for sure if it satisfies in every aspect or not, but I’d say it’s promising so far. Check out the rest of the photos I took while unboxing the unit below.

Unboxing: MSI Wind U123

QueenB — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 18:05:40 +0000

The lucky guys over at PortableMonkey have gotten hold of the latest netbook offering from MSI, the Wind U123 in white. They’ve taken photos of the various stages on unboxing which you can view after the jump.

First impressions of the U123, is that it looks very similar to the U120, but inside is a different story. The U123 comes with the newer processor from Intel, the N280, while the U120 has the regular N270 CPU. The RAM can also be upgraded on this new model, but like the U120, there aren’t any access panels to actually do this. The bottom casing can be unscrewed easily though to upgrade your RAM, but Liliputing note that this will actually void the warranty.

Acer Aspire One D250 gets a video unboxing

David Gonzales — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:52:37 +0000

Fans of the original Acer Aspire One may not like the fact that there are now many different models of their favorite netbook available, but there’s nothing consumers like ourselves can really do about that right now except face the fact and learn to live with it. After all, it’s not entirely a bad thing, and choice is beneficial for most. The Acer Aspire D250 is one of the many different Aspire One models now available, and the gang over at Geeky Lives just managed to secure a unit and have put together a swift unboxing video. We can’t promise you’ll see anything that will change your life by watching the video, but if you’re looking to make an informed purchase, it always helps to know more about the gadgets you’re considering. For those interested, the unboxing video is available after the break.

MSI Wind U115 Hybrid stars in unboxing session

David Gonzales — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:07:52 +0000

One of the most highly-awaited netbooks from MSI’s stable of 10-inch Winds is the MSI Wind U115 Hybrid. The word Hybrid in its name comes from the fact that it will have both an SSD and a hard drive for storage (though the SSD will be used primarily for the netbook’s OS). And besides which, the MSI Wind U115 also boasts remarkable battery life. A recent test even showed us that it can run up to 14 hours — on a single charge. That’s something you don’t see on netbooks everyday. UMPCFever just got their hands on one, and as expected they’ve done a first round of unboxing shots before the real review begins. See the full set of photos via the link to their site below.

If you’ve got a few minutes to spare today you can see this video of a Samsung NC20 unboxing. This shows the Samsung NC20, its box contents, and a quick boot to Windows XP Home. As you probably know this is a much awaited follow-up to the Samsung NC10, which many have hailed as the best netbook ever. While you’re still waiting to personally get your hands on one (like I know you are), then this should be enough to whet your appetite in the meantime.
