Online retailer ZipZoomFly changed the status of the Asus Eee PC 1000HE from pre-order to “in stock” the other day. I was a bit skeptical since most shops are still taking pre-orders. But it does look like the latest netbook from Asus is indeed shipping, because Portable Monkey found an unboxing video on YouTube. The […]

HP Mini 2140 unboxed – Video
The HP Mini 2140 has been shipping for a few weeks now, and Liliputing reader Jean-Etienne LaVallee managed to get his hands on one. And he’s posted a kind of snarky unboxing video to prove it. He seems pretty impressed with the netbook’s build quality and design, but if you enjoy hearing people making fun […]
Acer Aspire One D150 now shipping – unboxing photos
You’ve seen the Acer Aspire One D150 dissected for the FCC, on store shelves in Hong Kong, and available for pre-order from Amazon. So what’s next for Acer’s first netbook with a 10.1 inch display? How about some unboxing photos? While the netbook isn’t yet shipping in the US, it is available in Taiwan and […]
NEC Versa N1100 unboxed, still ugly
The folks at UMPC Fever have gotten their hands on the NEC Versa N1100 netbook we first got a look at back in October. And it turns out this machine is just as unattractive as the press shots indicated. It has an incredibly boxy looking design with sharp corners instead of the rounded or tapered […]
First look at the Asus Eee PC 1002HA
The nice folks at Asus just sent me an Eee PC 1002HA to review for the next few days. The Eee PC 1002HA is something of a cross between the Eee PC 1000H and the Eee PC S101. It has a brushed aluminum case like the S101, but it’s just about as thick as the […]
Compaq Mini 700 unboxed
The Compaq Mini 700 is pretty much the same machine as the HP Mini 1000 netbook. But it’s got a big Compaq logo on the cover instead. HP announced the two netbooks on the same day in October. But the HP Mini 1000 launch grabbed all the headlines in the US, while only a handful […]
Asus Eee PC 1002HA unboxed (from a fancypants box)
You’ve seen the pictures, you’ve seen the reviews. Now it’s time to see the Asus Eee PC 1002HA get unboxed. YouTube user Zeavott has posted a video showing an Eee PC 1002HA netbook emerging from what appears to be a very nice looking case. Unlike previous Eee PC cases, the 1002HA box is sheer black, […]
Unboxing the MSI WInd U120 – Video
The MSI Wind U120 isn’t officially shipping yet, but the folks at MSI Wind en Espanol managed to get their hands on a pre-release unit and have posted some first impressions and an unboxing video. The first thing you notice? That is a nice looking box. And this whole “netbook” thing seems to be catching […]
HP Mini 1000 unboxed
Xavier at Notebooks.com has posted an unboxing video of the HP Mini 1000 netbook. There’s nothing particularly special about the packaging, but one thing I noted is that the battery bucks the netbook battery trend in size and shape. Instead of fitting onto the back of the laptop, the HP Mini 1000’s 3 cell battery […]
LG X110, Samsung NC10 unboxed – Videos
Two of the latest entries in the netbook market are now shipping – just not in the US. Fortunately, Sascha of Eee PC News recently picked up an LG X110 in Germany and Joanna at Laptop Magazine ordered a Samsung NC10 from Korea. And they’ve each posted some  unboxing videos to prove it. There aren’t […]
