Like many of us, you probably have hundreds and thousands of photos on your phone or the cloud, never to be seen again. Sure, you could print and hang them, but if you ever want to change photos, that can be a pain. A smart display can double as a digital photo frame, but you can’t exactly mount it on a wall.

It wouldn’t be CES if Lenovo didn’t have a bevy of new laptops to announce, but I can’t say we saw the company’s new ThinkBook Plus coming. On one level, it’s pretty prosaic — it’s available with a 13.3-inch matte, full HD IPS…

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, laptop makers are paying attention to them again and we’re about to see more here at CES 2020. HP is kicking things off…
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…

HP is launching products at CES 2020 that take advantage of some of its unique technologies and ability to differentiate its computer business, such as SureView privacy screens, recycled materials, 5G, and keeping track of your laptop through Tile tracking.
