You don't need to know what chip is inside a product, or how much RAM it has, before you can have a hands on evaluation(which they did) of how it works. For example, do you know what processor is running your HDTV set?

If I were to write a "hands on" review of a HDTV set I would at least turn it on to see if it works. Being sleek and having a nice feel only goes so far for a computing device.

Here ya go.
Plenty of “hands on” examination of the Microsoft Surface tablet from some of the top tech magazines/sites on the planet. They did a heck of a lot more than just merely turn it on
