Hasta La Gadget!

We know you’re out there, dear future Engadget writer, but we need you here with us — where we can touch you, teach you and pay you to write about all those gadgets you love so much. Professional writing experience is necessary, and preference will be given to those with experience in the technology space. If you’re familiar with what we do, you’ll know that we also require an ability to write about gadgets with wit, concision, accuracy and authority. And being obsessed with Engadget is good, too. Here’s what we’re after:

• Late-night freelance news writers: This position will require availability between 5PM ET and 3AM ET. Applicants can be located anywhere in the world (time zone converter here), but these hours will not change. To clarify, this is an Engadget US position, but location matters not. Primary tasks will include writing multiple news stories per day and assisting our staff in managing news.
• NYC-based freelance reviews editor: This position will require daily availability at our headquarters in Manhattan. The ideal candidate will work alongside our NYC-based reviews team, and will be expected to deliver in-depth, insightful and thorough reviews of smartphones, software, laptops, tablets and the occasional arcade dock. Experience writing consumer technology reviews is a must.

We’ve heard rumblings about Razer’s modular gaming plans since the early whispers of Project Fiona. Now, the gadget is a full-fledged tablet in the form of the Edge and in a fresh edition of our tablet mag, we put the Pro version and a couple of its add-ons through the wringer to test its PC gaming chops. Eyes-On takes a ride on a BRD electic motorcycle, Hands-On tackles GDC 2013 and V-Moda’s Val Kolton works his way through the Q&A. This week’s issue is ready for the taking via the download links below. Also, be sure to grab the latest version of the Distro apps as they become available — major updates to both the Android and iPad software were released earlier this week.

Back at Expand, the folks at Lenovo unveiled the ThinkPad T431s, a unit that embodies an overhaul of the outfit’s iconic laptop. The latest issue of our weekly magazine goes inside the process of balancing customer preference, perception and tradition with forward-facing design in order to construct the final model. As far as reviews go, Ableton Push, Sonos Playbar and Dell Latitude 10 all get put through their respective paces to tally up some final grades on each. Moog occupies both Eyes-On and the Q&A, Hands-On speed tests T-Mobile’s LTE network and IRL has three more items that we’ve used on the daily. All of that and much more is a download away on your go-to e-reading gadget.

Listen, we’re not going to promise you that watching an hour-long episode is the same as going to Expand. The good news for those of you who were unable to attend due to scheduling or geography, however, is that the ticket price is a bit lower, and many of our favorite moments have been saved for posterity. We’ve done our best to whittle a weekend at San Francisco’s beautiful Fort Mason center into one bite-sized chunk of Engadget Show goodness. We’ll take you behind the scenes at the event and show you what it takes to run your very own consumer-facing electronics show.

We’ve got conversations with Google’s Tamar Yehoshua, OUYA’s Julie Uhrman, Jason Parrish and Corinna Proctor from Lenovo, Chris Anderson, DJ Spooky, Mark Frauenfelder, Veronica Belmont, Ryan Block, plus folks from NASA, 3D Robotics, Oculus, Google Lunar X Prize, TechShop, Lunar and IndieGogo. We’ll go for a spin on ZBoard’s latest electric skateboard and show off the da Vinci surgical robot, the Ekso robotic exoskeleteon and the latest UAV from 3D Robotics — we’ll also be taking you out on the town in a Tesla Model S. And for a little bit of high drama, there’s our first-ever Insert Coin: New Challengers competition, including conversations with the semi-finalists and the big moment of truth. All that plus kids, dogs and your favorite Engadget Editors. Join us after the break for a warm and fuzzy Engadget Show, won’t you?
