Arguably, the most intriguing (and important) device to come out this year was Microsoft’s Surface RT. And, in turn, it’s perhaps one of the more difficult products to review. The expectations surrounding this now famous hybrid are immense, especially given the circumstances. Not only are…

Wow, there were so many leaks that I thought I knew what I was getting into when I picked up the new iPad mini. It’s just a smaller iPad, right? Well, not really. Sure, it has a smaller 7.9-inch display, the same software and a…

You have to hand it to Amazon. Instead of tackling the almighty iPad head on, the company bravely introduced a device that, while not necessarily wowing on specs or features, made an enormous impression with its bottom-dollar price. The impact is still being felt, and…

Samsung has a tablet in nearly every size imaginable, including two 10.1-inch devices, so the Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn’t appear to fill a niche that hasn’t already been filled. Appear is the key word here because, actually, the Galaxy Note 10.1 offers an incredible experience that helps it differentiate itself…

The TechnoBuffalo team was fortunate enough to get our hands on the Google Nexus 7 from Google I/O 2012. I used it all weekend and, quite frankly, it’s a wonderful device. You’re in luck if you’re in the market for an inexpensive tablet; this product is…

Cons: A little thick and heavy compared to competitors, no Google Play access, pre-production software a…

ASUS first introduced the Transformer Prime late last year and, at the time, we dubbed it the “best Android tablet yet.” The company recently sent us its latest Transformer-branded tablet, known as the Transformer Pad Infinity, or TF700 for short. It sports a sharper 1,920 x…

Five months ago, the Asus’ Transformer Prime was hotter than Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games. Not only was the tablet fast, sleek, and well built; it was the first device that made consumers question the iPad’s dominance. (And did we mention it came with Nvidia’s much…

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 during Mobile World Congress, a 7-inch tablet that sits between the original Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, thanks to the inclusion of ICS. We’ve had our hands on a review unit for several days now…

Finding the right words to describe Apple’s new iPad is difficult. For one, it’s hard not to tread over what’s already been said about its predecessor. The device is fast, beautiful and still offers an experience unrivaled by any other tablet out there — just…

When I purchased my iPad 2, I also opted to pick up one of Apple’s Smart Covers for the tablet. A few months down the road, what once was a pristine pink cover is now a dingy mess, and looking at the back of my…

T-Mobile’s G-Slate with Google is the first 4G tablet computer to ship, believe it or not. Verizon’s Motorola Xoom hasn’t yet been upgraded to work with the carrier’s LTE network, Sprint’s WiMax-equipped HTC Evo View isn’t shipping yet, and AT&T hasn’t yet announced a 4G…

Before you discount what I’m about to say, hear me out: Barnes & Noble’s nook Color just might be the best value on the market for somebody who wants a tablet computer but doesn’t really know why. I know, I know, nook Color is an…

The iPad 2 has been teased, announced, launched, tested, and now it’s time to be reviewed. The iPad 2, like all of Apple’s products, is a polarizing device; either you can live within its limitations or you cannot. There is nothing revolutionary found in the…

The Motorola Xoom was released on a tablet hungry market with a huge amount of fanfare and media hype. The first tablet packing NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor and Android 3.0 Honeycomb made this, at least on paper, the tablet to lust for. Does the Xoom…

Everyone has been talking about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab, but what’s it going to look like in person? How does it feel in the hand? Luckily our own Jon Rettinger got his hands on one today, and it just so happened he had a…

A lot of talk has been made about the success of the Wired iPad app (iTunes link), and how it might be a signal of things to come for the publishing industry as well as its saving grace. I really hope it isn’t. After hearing…

Here’s the review of the Macally BookStand iPad case. It’s quite different than the iPad case you can grab from the Apple store. The material is different, the stand functions a bit differently, and the protection is a bit more minimal. Overall, I recommend the Macally BookStand.…

The tablet wars have only begun and the next major competitor hoping to out-tablet the iPad is HP. Originally shown off at CES, the HP Slate is seemingly taking the opposite approach Apple took with the iPad. So how will it hold up? Check out…

The iPad, like most of Apple’s product line, is a polarizing device. There are those that are going to love it no matter what, and a separate camp that will refuse to even touch one. I think I fall somewhere in between those two extremes. …
