This monster box was just dropped in my livingroom by Fedex. I can’t tell you what it is right now but don’t get that excited about the contents. The damn thing shouldn’t even be on CrunchGear.
When I agreed to the early look, I didn’t ask enough questions instead I blinded agreed to review it. What I should have done is simply ask “Is this a consumer or business product?” and not assume the former. Oh well, I’ll give it the go-around. Now to get this beast in the basement.
SPOILER ALERT: It’s a snow mobile.
JK, it’s Dell’s new smartphone.
Knowing Dell’s packing history, your testing their new netbook. http://gizmodo.com/382240/dells-wasteful-shipping-habits-take-a-steamy-dump-on-the-environment

Printer was my first guess too…
It’s a MicroSD card. Dell wants you to be ready to review their smartphone when it gets delivered to your roof by a helicopter.
I pretty sure it is one of the Dell NetBook.
It is Dell’s CEO.
I wish I could be a reviewer… since I live in Alaska mailing me things this size would be funny.
Not only that, some of the products you review… hehe we would have a COMPLETELY different use/experience with them. :)
How ARE you?
So what is it?
and in twenty-seven minutes you’ll have it setup with XBMC, streaming last.fm — best $8000 you could have spent.
HVAC unit for the server room? Gas-powered backup generator? Arc welder? Weighted Companion Cube? Twenty Dell-branded honey glazed hams, just in time for the holidays? Pre-built kids fort (no girls allowed)?
it’s probably a tird

It’s John Biggs visiting for Thanksgiving. Coach is passe – freight is the new way to fly.
Do you typically have to return things you review for CrunchGear? Just sayin, this could be problematic.
