The Xbox 360 has gone through quite a few hardware transitions in its lifetime, but the 2013 model still intrigues us — it’s potentially the last, most advanced iteration that we’ll see. iFixit must be equally curious, as it’s tearing down the console just days after its launch. The shock of this latest system may rest in what hasn’t changed: despite being smaller and (reportedly) quieter, the updated 360 is still using the cooling, processing power and storage of its 2010 predecessor. Most of the differences exist in the enclosure and some minor component tweaks, like the new RF module. This model isn’t a revolution, then, but iFixit appreciates its more repairable design. Gamers wanting to explore this tiniest of Xbox 360s can check out the full teardown at the source link.

Just in case that recently announced ChefPad wasn’t suited to your tastes, Archos is now introducing a smaller, not-so-kitchen-friendly Android tablet, the Xenon 80. Naturally, the main highlight of this 8-inch slate is that it boasts 3G capabilities, and the company’s quick to point out it’s SIM-unlocked. Archos also endowed the Xenon 80 with some decent specs, including a vanilla flavor of Google’s Jelly Bean, an unnamed Qualcomm quad-core CPU, a 1,024 x 768 IPS display and 4GB of internal storage (expandable to 64GB by way of a microSD slot). And as with other recent Archos tablets, the Xenon 80 carries the proper Google Play credentials, making it easy for you to have access to all your favorite apps. It’ll cost a mere $200 when it hits shelves in June, which is on par with competing offerings. Now, whether it’s worth taking the plunge, well, you’ll have to make that call for yourself.

There’s no way Gigabyte’s Xenon Dual Mode Touchpad Mouse, that is a trackpad and mouse in one combination, can be any good, right? The mouse looks like a complete horror show, like using an angular Magic Mouse, and the trackpad looks neutered and drooping. I don’t believe. More »
When our eyes first landed upon the device from Gigabyte you see above, it took them a few seconds to work out exactly what they were looking at. There’s a reason for that, though, as the Aivia Xenon — as it is known — lives a double life. By day, it’s an ordinary PC mouse, with support for multi-touch gestures. By night (well, and day too, if you choose) it’s a portable touchpad. The hybrid device offers 1000DPI resolution, can be used up to 10 meters away (for presentations etc.) and comes with software that lets you create custom gestures. If you have two birds, but only space for one stone, head down to the source link for more info.
