Dell's new XPS 13 2-in-1 brings a stunning design with powerful functionality. The first laptop with Intel's 10nm 10th Gen CPU and Iris Graphics deliver performance and decent battery life, dazzling HDR display, with an excellent inking experience. While there are a few things missing Dell gets more right than wrong with this premium convertible Ultrabook. However, the competition is...
If you're into ergonomic accessories, the brand-new Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard for 2019 should be on your shortlist. This wired desktop keyboard brings new dedicated keys for Windows 10 emoji, Office, and screen snipping. It's also more comfortable to use, with larger keys and improved key responsiveness when compared to the renowned Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 from 2005.
The Microsoft Surface Duo brings a lot of cool new tech to the table for 2020, but its design and usage makes less sense without a corresponding wearable. Here are three reasons why the Surface team is likely thinking about making a Surface band. And if they're not, well, that's just crazy.
HP's all-new Spectre x360 13 is one of the hottest convertible laptops of the year. A new 4K OLED display with micro bezels, a full-working Windows Hello IR camera, 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 4G LTE, Windows Inking, and — finally — Microsoft Precision touchpad drivers make this one laptop you have to see.
Is the new Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390) on your radar? We just got ours in. Before we give it a full review, we figured we would take your questions about it.
The Fitbit Versa 2 s now available, and just $200. The Versa 2 isn't a huge upgrade compared to the original, but it's all good stuff that keeps this fitness-focused wearable ahead of the competition. I've been using it for the last two weeks and I have a lot of thoughts about what works and what doesn't.
The new Voice Interoperability Initiative represents a big push for various companies to work together to build a world where digital assistants cooperate instead of directly compete. Not only does this benefit Microsoft, but it's a good idea for the entire industry as well.
Spoiler: iPhone 11 is great. Battery life, audio, display, and camera (even low-light, gasp!) are all top of their game here.
The rumor mill points to Microsoft potentially launching a 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 at next week's Surface event. Even more, it's rumored to include AMD processors. But the question is: why is that a good thing?
Hauwei's new Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30 deliver some of the most impressive hardware for 2019, but due to a U.S. ban the company cannot ship with any Google services - including the Google Play store. That's a hefty blow to the prospects of this phone outside of China, but with sideloading or even PWAs it could be workable. Would Windows Phone fans want something like that or is it just a...
Dell's refreshed XPS 15 (7590) for 2019 brings a 4K OLED option, newer 9th Gen Intel processors, a bumped up GTX 1650 GPU, and Dell finally fixed the webcam. What does that all add up to? One of the best 15-inch laptops available. But Dell also let this laptop slide in other areas.
HP is pushing further into the premium business world with its new Elite Dragonfly PC, a crazy-light 2-in-1 Ultrabook with a 4K HDR display, 4G LTE, and battery life up to 24 hours.
Microsoft's upcoming dual-screen tablet may be niche, but that's not a bad thing. In fact, most technology starts out small with nearly everyone questioning its usefulness. Many products thrive with just small audiences. It's the journey that matters.
Microsoft suddenly announced that Cortana will be enabled on all Windows 10 devices going into the 2020 "20H1" release. While this may seem like a reversal, it may be more about how Cortana is more about Office these days than Bing. Microsoft is using Cortana for what it knows: Office, productivity, and Windows. That's not only the right choice, it's really their only one if Microsoft...
IFA is a time where PC makers can show off the latest trends in laptops for 2020. This year, it was very powerful workstations packed with Intel 10th Gen processors, and powerful NVIDIA graphics. A few even broke new boundaries for the first time. Here are our absolute favorite picks — the ones that are deserving of our Best of IFA 2019 awards. Best of IFA 2019 Best Samsung Galaxy...
Microsoft will live stream its October 2 Surface event in New York City. It will likely be the company's most significant announcement since 2015 when it launched multiple new Surfaces and ushered in Windows 10.
For Gears of War fans who need an Xbox One X to enjoy true 4K and HDR gaming there is only one option: the Xbox One X Gears 5 Limited Edition Bundle. Luckily, we have one to tell you what it's all about, share some close-up photos, and explain else you need to know before getting one.
You want to look and sound as good as possible when streaming or recording video, right? This is the best webcam for Windows you can buy right now.
Remembering how cool the past was is fun to do, but often yields disappointing results when taken too far. Wunderlist had a great ride, but talks of bringing it back in 2020 is a waste of time from people who should know better.
At IFA 2019, a few gaming laptops are coming with 300Hz displays, just as we got used to 240Hz (and 144Hz) ones. But the technology doesn't seem to make much sense right now, and it's likely just another gimmick to sell more nonsense to gamers.
