Lenovo T410 gets unboxed, handled, reviewed

Posted in: lenovo, thinkpad, Today's Chili, unboxing

Ready for some hot ThinkPad action? Lenovo’s shipping out its new ThinkPad T410, and like clockwork an unboxing video has arrived. (This is the Core i5 T410, not the brand-new Core i3 T410i — confused? Yeah.) Changes to the venerable T400 formula are minor, apart from the new Core 2010 processors inside — the trackpad is the same nice dimpled multitouch unit we fell in love with on the T400s, a powered USB port for charging other devices, a DisplayPort instead of DVI, and… a modem port? You just keep on being crazy, Lenny. Don’t you ever change. Check it on video after the break.

Update: Laptop has a review up — as you’d expect, it fared quite well.

HP’s TouchSmart tm2 gets exhaustively unboxed on video

Posted in: HP, tablet, tablet pc, TabletPc, Today's Chili, unboxing, video

We heard that HP‘s recently unveiled TouchSmart tm2 tablet would begin shipping immediately, and given that said “unveiling” happened just last week, well… you know we couldn’t lay off the first unboxing video that we’ve seen. One particular user decided to bless us (or harass us, depending on perspective) with five full minutes of YouTube footage dedicated to the device’s unwrapping, which even includes a breathtaking view of the owners manual being glanced right over in favor of that whole “jumping right in” thing. Be sure to hit up the More Coverage link below if you’re a to-be owner — already lots of chatter going on from folks who just landed one of their own.

[Thanks, Mike and Andy]

PSP Go disassembled in awesome stop motion video

Posted in: console, gaming, handheld, playstation, psp, sony, Today's Chili, unboxing, video

Oh sure, we’ve seen Sony’s UMD-hatin’ PSP Go splayed before, but never like this. Call us crazy, but we’re calling stop motion video the future of unboxings and tear downs. Seriously — this is one wild two minute ride that you simply have to take. Peek the video after the break, won’t you?

ThinkPad X100e does the video unboxing thing in glorious white

Posted in: laptop, netbook, thinkpad, Today's Chili, unboxing, video

Deep down, we all sort of knew that the day would come when a ThinkPad would finally feature more color than its signature keyboard highlights — and the company obliged such trepidations with not one but two new color-loving ‘Pads announced here at CES. One of them, the “definitely not a netbook” X100e, has already found itself been candidly photographed while making its way out of a retail box. Featuring a comprehensive gallery of angles of the new machine — which include some comparison shots making the X200 look bulky — the read link should provide plenty for the ThinkPad loyalist that wants to be in the know. If you want it quick and dirty though, video of the unboxing awaits just past the break.

[Thanks, xleung]

Canon's EOS-1D Mark IV gets unboxed, high ISO modes tested
Wondering how Canon’s high-ISO response to Nikon performs in the dark? We’ve got the answer. Photographer John Deeb got his early and was not only kind enough to take a comprehensive set of unboxing pictures with a video, but also captured a series of pictures of model Lauren Howery to show off how the thing performs in extremely low light at increasingly excessive ISO settings. Lots and lots of pictures below.

Leica S2-P unboxed on video, produces sample shots

Posted in: camera, digital camera, DigitalCamera, dslr, expensive, luxury, preview, Today's Chili, unboxing, video

Ladies and gentlemen, please disengage your budget conscience for this post, as hearing things like “the Leica S2 seems to be quite the happy medium” when discussing a camera that costs north of $31,000 (body only!) will never make much sense otherwise. Matthew Harrison, aka The Leica Guy, has gotten his hands on what he calls the first commercially available S2-P and performed a loving unboxing and preview of the luxurious shooter. With a 56 percent larger sensor than the stellar Canon 5D Mark II (stretching all the way to 37 megapixels), fully weather-sealed casing, sapphire glass monitor screen, and Platinum Service for the discerning photographer, the S2 certainly has a spec sheet to match its price. Matthew’s impressions only confirm the supremacy of this beast, and you can hit up his site below for sample pictures. Don’t forget the video unboxing after the break, which includes (at 3:53) something that might cause real distress to bona fide DSLR junkies — you’ve been warned.

Camangi WebStation lands in American hands, promptly unboxed on video

Posted in: 7-inch, Android, MID, tablet, Today's Chili, unboxing

Well, well, it looks like Camangi’s WebStation is finally making good on its shipments. The first of Gear Diary’s two pre-orders arrived and the gang has been more than happy to put together quick unboxing video for us to enjoy. It’s a pretty standard box with equally customary assortment of packaged accessories, suction cup stand (pictured) notwithstanding. The 7-inch Android tablet looks pretty matched with the Nook in terms of overall size, but by design that lends itself to having a larger overall screen. Not much in the way of impressions at this point, but if you’re the type of person who can be satisfied with a video and a handful of product / comparison shots, hit up Gear Diary for the still frames and stay tuned after the break for the “moving pictures” version.

MSI Wind Top AE2220 unboxing and impressions

Posted in: blu-ray, desktop, feature, Features, impressions, msi, multitouch, nvidia ion, NvidiaIon, PC, Today's Chili, unboxing, windows 7, Windows7

In the land of netbooks and nettops, the tried-and-true all-in-one PC still has a place in this world yet. MSI is living proof of that, with its 21.5-inch Wind Top AE2220 bringing Windows 7, multitouch and an eye-pleasing design to the collective masses. Said machine just started shipping to consumers at the tail end of last month, and we’ve been fortunate enough to spend a few weeks tinkering with one of the most cost effective AIO options on the market right now. Thankfully for those who enjoy doing anything with relative speed, MSI overlooked the Atom range and went straight for the Core 2 Duo lineup, and for those with a bit of extra coin to spend, there’s even an optional TV tuner and Blu-ray drive. Care to see how we felt about this touch-friendly rig after some extended play time? Read on to find out.

Nokia N900 and the case of the best unboxing ever

Posted in: nokia, Today's Chili, unboxing
We’ll just come out and say it: this is so awesome. In fact, if you want to just take our word for it, skip the copy and head straight to the video after the break — you really only need to watch the first four or so minutes… Still here? Alright then. The shiny cube comes straight from Espoo and houses a N900, but the only way to get into the box is to plug it into a computer, establish a link, and then type in the right terminal command to unlock the lid (spoiler: it’s company motto “connecting people” — how clever) in addition to — poof — smoke! (Our favorite part.) Given the technical prerequisites, our guess is this has something to do with Nokia’s the hack-centric “Push” program, but really that’s just a guess. Like we said, video after the break, and if you opt to watch past the first couple minutes, you’ll get to see a plastic fox. Trust us.

[Thanks, Matija]

Limited edition Final Fantasy XIII PS3 gets unboxed

Posted in: playstation 3, Playstation3, ps3, Today's Chili, unboxing
Sony and Square Enix have sure taken their time building up anticipation for this one, but the new limited edition Final Fantasy XIII PlayStation 3 is now finally available in Japan, and our pals at Joystiq were lucky enough to wrangle one for an unboxing. As you can see, this one definitely takes things further than the rather understated Final Fantasy VII limited edition PS3, with it boasting a stylish matte white finish and a slightly glossier rendition of the character Lightning in pink — and, of course, a matching white controller. Hit up the link below for the full unboxing.
