At CES 2025, Intel let journalists into its private “Innovation Showcase,” where we saw things like prototype next-gen laptops and giant stereo 3D handheld gaming PCs. While I was there, I also spotted a heavy metal handheld on a table that didn’t seem fully… attached to its screen. When I lifted the screen, it came […]
(Image credit: Future/Keumars Afifi-Sabet) LAS VEGAS — One of the most eye-catching technologies of CES 2025 is Lenovo’s rollable laptop. Lenovo has always had a knack for playing with the design of laptops and 2-in-1s, to varying degrees of success. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2, for example, is a foldable laptop with an […]
AMD’s CES announcements include a tease about next-gen graphics cards, a new flagship desktop CPU, and a modest refresh of its processors for handheld gaming PCs. But the company’s largest announcement, by volume, is about laptop processors. Today the company is expanding the Ryzen AI 300 lineup with a batch of updated high-end chips with […]
Scientists have created a new mini PC that is almost as powerful as a supercomputer but can fit in your bag. The new device, dubbed “Project Digits,” is designed for developers, researchers, students and data scientists who work with artificial intelligence (AI). Its uses include running AI models that would have previously required tapping into […]
Intel’s Core Ultra 200 series is currently bifurcated between two architectures: Lunar Lake, which powers the Core Ultra 200V series of laptop chips; and Arrow Lake, which is included in the Core Ultra 200S desktop processors.

As […]
This week, Google announced it’s rolling out ChromeOS M131 to non-beta users, bringing with it a handy “Safety reset” feature that lets Chromebook users reset their laptops without totally wiping them. The update also introduced a new “Flash notifications” accessibility option to help those who might not otherwise easily hear or see them. Like Powerwash […]
The keyboard is pretty great with a good amount of travel and zero flex in the keyboard deck. Interestingly, Lenovo added a fingerprint reader that worked quickly every time I used it to log in. The trackpad, on the other hand, could use some work; it’s a little mushy and requires a slightly different amount […]
It’s easy to get caught up in the flashiness of laptop specs and designs in the high-end segment, but sometimes you just want a smooth experience without much flair. That’s exactly what the Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED delivers, offering some great hardware in a rather unassuming shell. It’s also priced reasonably well at $900, […]
The MacBook Air is Apple’s most popular Mac, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s compact, capable, and priced pretty well, too – for an Apple product. The tech giant’s laptops come with a hefty premium, but a new Amazon deal helps mitigate that handily. The retailer is offering the MacBook Air M3 (the […]
