Articles about hands on

After so many rumors about the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime tablet availability, problems and so on I'm glad to see the comprehensive video previews from our friends at Tabletbite.com.I've got three videos to show you, including an unboxing, one covering the browsing experience and one covering how you can take notes with a capacitive stylus (a digitizer would have helped, but what can you do...).The conclusion is one I've anticipated already: if you want the best Android tablet on mar...

Curious what the quad core ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime can do? The guys at ZTOP managed to get their hands on one and put it through a thorough hands on treatment. Follow this translation link to get a sense how gorgeous this device really is. They've took quite a few pictures from many angles and compared it to the 1st gen ASUS EEE Pad Transformer and the iPhone 3 (which is thicker !!!) and the new Motorola RAZR smartphone.Now I can see the Transformer Prime becoming a success, but th...

At the same conference where it announced the Tablet S [read review here] at IFA Berlin, Sony also presented the dual screen Tablet P model, previously known as Sony S2. No review units were send to the press, so we'll have to make do with the hands on previews posted from the event by press members.I'm not going to repeat what I've said about the Sony Tablet S today, so I'm planning to focus on the differences between the two and the dual screen functionality of the Tablet P. The Sony Servi...

After yesterday's Sony teaser, part two, for the S1 and S2 tablets, a not so informative clip, it's time to take a look at two hands on videos and a few pictures that better illustrate what we can expect from Sony's tablet initiative.We already know Sony wants people to say WOQ! from the first seconds they see the two tablets and part of that effect is caused by the dual-screen form factor of the S2 and the 'open book' look of the S1. But is this enough to give Sony a competing edge? We can'...

We've been talking quite a bit about the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer here as it seems to us one of the best Honeycomb tablets announced in 2011 thanks it its slim, clean design, powerful hardware (see specs and official photo gallery here) and best of all, because of the docking keyboard that also features a battery which extends autonomy to around 16 hours.Now that the EEE Pad Transformer is nearing launch day it's time to take a look at the first lengthy hands on preview provided by the frien...

During the February 2nd event, when Google officially announced Android 3.0 Honeycomb IT press had the first occasion to play with the Motorola Xoom tablet running the full version OS just launched. Enough with all those teaser videos or partial screenshots of the interface. I wasn't at the launch event, unfortunately, but I managed to make an impression of one of the most anticipated tablets of 2011, the Xoom.As you probably know already, Motorola Xoom was the tablet used for development pu...

Since the CES announcement of the EEE Pad Memo we haven't heard much of the little 7 inch tablet, but this doesn't mean others haven't got the chance to see more than us. We've just come across a video demo of the EEE Pad Memo, a very short clip that puts the lights on the note taking capabilities of the tablet. After all Memo refers to memos, so it's clear that ASUS focuses with this tablet on students and people that are used to taking notes by hand a lot. There's even a stylus that mounts in ...

The Dell Inspiron Duo dual mode tablet got a lot of heat past days and things are not going to stop till this interesting netbook/convertible tablet concept won't get the first serious reviews upon launch, in December. The guys at Slashgear got their hands on the Inspiron Duo and managed to play with it for a few moments, enough to get a first impression and a short video preview. Apparently they've played with a prototype, an advanced one, but not the final product, especially in terms of softw...

If you ask me one of the best convertible netbooks around is the ASUS T101MT, which we've reviewed here as a worldwide premiere. While there are quite a few other interesting devices, like the Gigabyte T1000P, those netvertibles are sometimes too expensive or are too late on market or simply there are not available, so people can't get them even if they wanted to. The same goes for the aforementioned Gigabyte T1000P and T1000X netbook tablets, which are the second generation of Gigabyte netverti...

Windows 7 is the best OS Microsoft has  build  in the last 10 years, users say that and sales numbers say that, but that doesn't mean you can throw Windows 7 on any gadget you like. The latest gadget to prove that is the HP Slate, which was caught on video by an Youtube user who posted the hands on preview for the world to see. Some say it's a fake, but I have to admit that that looks awfully like a Windows 7 Atom powered netbook, which is slow, very slow.The hardware seems pretty solid, w...
