January 6, 2020

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 display, one USB-C Gen 2 port, a pair of full-size USBs and an HDMI-out.

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…

HP's gorgeous new Spectre x360 15-inch features 4K OLED screen options

January 6, 2020

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…

It’s the “world’s first…

January 5, 2020

We all know someone who bought a big TV to use as a PC monitor, refresh rates be damned. Thankfully, Acer is joining the not-so select group of companies producing enormous displays that are actually suitable for PC gaming. The company’s Predator division is announcing the CG552K, a 55-inch, 4K OLED display that sports adaptive sync, NVIDIA G-Sync and a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s smarter…
