Hardware specifications & packaging ZenFone 2 Laser comes in a typical ASUS packaging, with a glossy box that has the image of the smartphone on its top side and its main features printed on the bottom and sides. The top area also bolsters the fact that the ASUS ZenFone 2 series has been awarded the 2015 iF Design Award. The sliding cover comes off quite easily and inside it you will find the smartphone sitting on top of a cardboard tray.
Hardware Specifications & Packaging The Galaxy S6 edge is shipped in a compact, bright white cardboard box that bears the Samsung logo and the storage and color version of the device on top and the main features on the bottom, while on the sides, you’ll find the manufacturer’s safety seals.

Unboxing The ASUS ROG Orion Gaming Headset The headset is packaged in a cardboard box painted in a dark, reddish color that very much resembles blood. On its right side, the box is partly transparent, so you can see how the headphones look before unpacking them. On the back side of the box you will find plenty of information about the features and specs of the headset. Inside the package you’ll find the ASUS ROG Orion Gaming Headset, together with its user manual.
Unboxing the ASUSPRO B8430UA The ASUSPRO B8430UA notebook comes in a simple, traditional, cardboard box with not much information printed on it. For instance, on the top of the box, you’ll only see the ASUS logo and the “In search of incredible” motto. The only thing that lets you know what’s inside is the notebook’s name tag from the bottom of the box. Inside the package, we found only the ASUSPRO B8430UA notebook and its power adapter.
Packaging and design A couple of years ago I had the chance to use quite a lot of computer peripherals made by Genius, so I had a general opinion of the brand. They always seemed to be the company that makes mostly entry-level products at a rather low price.
