We’re at that weird point in the week where CES simultaneously has and hasn’t started, and it’s already becoming clear Samsung isn’t sticking to business as usual in 2020. That’s partially due to the hype surrounding its curious Neon project, but also because Samsung just revealed two modest versions of its most popular smartphones. The Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10…
HP Envy 32 All-in-one review: A PC posing as media center
January 6, 2020
All-in-one computers typically aren’t that exciting, not when we’ve got ultra-thin laptops hogging the spotlight. But HP’s new Envy 32 All-in-One might make you rethink what’s possible with a large table-top PC. It’s a multimedia powerhouse…
Laptops are getting thinner, lighter and prettier, but lately they’ve been getting bigger, too. Just look at recent devices like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, the Surface Laptop 3 15-inch and the LG Gram 17! After years of largely neglecting 15-inch (and larger) machines…
2019 Winners and Losers: LG

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) typically signals the arrival of new smart home appliances, and this year is certainly no exception. To this end, Moen today debuted a voice-activated faucet and water detector in its growing U by Moen product line, complementing its…
Samsung has really impressed me with its laptop game lately, delivering super thin and premium machines like the Galaxy Book Flex and Ion, as well as the Snapdragon-powered Book S. But those devices cost upwards of $999, which cuts the budget-conscious user out of Samsung’s reach. For those who would like something just a little cheaper, though, the company announced a new Galaxy Book last…
HP already made waves with far-out claims about its Elite Dragonfly when it launched last year, saying things like it was “lighter than air,” and the “world’s first business convertible with preinstalled personal wellbeing software.” But the…

The cosmetics market remains as lucrative as ever, if the latest estimates are anything to go by. It’s anticipated to be worth $806 billion by 2023, driven in part by spending on AI in retail, which alone is expected to top $7.3 billion by 2022 thanks to blossoming tech like computer vision.
L’Oréal has its finger on the pulse. Following on the heels of My Skin Track pH, a strip co-developed…
