Used to be that you’d have to hunch around coffee shops in your racing leathers to show off that, yeah, you ride a motorcycle, it’s pretty sweet. Thankfully those days have come to an end thanks to a collaboration between Lenovo and Ducati. The unlikely pair has teamed up to develop a limited-edition Windows 10 laptop: the Ducati 5. Now you simply have to pull out your laptop to let…
Lenovo's Ideapad Duet Chromebook is a tiny 2-in-1 for $279
January 6, 2020
Lenovo’s awkwardly-named Ideapad Duet Chromebook is a bit of a throwback. For a long time, most Chrome OS devices were inexpensive and small, but in recent years they’ve gotten more expensive as Google and other manufacturers have tried to pit them directly…
When Lenovo announced its Project Limitless laptop would be the world’s first 5G PC at Computex 2019, the company was indeed ahead of its competition. Today at CES 2020 though, Lenovo has fallen slightly behind. HP and Dell have both already announced 5G-capable PCs…
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. Lenovo has come up with a potential solution to that, however, with the Lenovo…
Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus is a laptop that doubles as a Kindle
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…
Alcatel 3L, 1S, 1V and 1B go official
January 6, 2020
An unfortunate consequence of TCL’s approach to smartphone manufacturing is a rather confusing portfolio. The company just unveiled Alcatel 3L, 1S, 1V and 1B even though we have seen all of these model numbers in the past except the 1B. Either way they are all new…
At CES 2020, Alcatel has launched four new Android smartphones designed for emerging markets with the Alcatel 1S, 1V, 1B, and 3L. Here’s what you need to know.
Starting with the Alcatel 3L, the focus in on the camera setup. This Android device has a 48MP rear camera that uses 4-to-1 pixel stacking to craft a better image that especially helps…
Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold is the first real foldable tablet
January 6, 2020
It’s been more than seven months since I first laid eyes on Lenovo’s foldable tablet PC prototype, and the company is now ready to launch the world’s first laptop with a folding screen. The device now has a name — the ThinkPad X1 Fold — and…
Audi’s ‘empathetic’ AI:Me is about relaxing while commuting
January 6, 2020
Commuting is the worst part of driving. It’s a stress-inducing piece of hell that many of us endure on a daily basis. Audi aims to eliminate that stress with a tiny self-driving car that takes you on a virtual journey while you’re sitting in gridlock.
The…
In May at IFA 2019, Lenovo previewed what it called “the world’s first foldable PC.” But the product didn’t have a name, price tag, or ship date (just 2020). We only knew it was part of Lenovo’s flagship ThinkPad X1 line and that it would arrive in 2020. At CES 2020, Lenovo shared a bit more. It’s called the ThinkPad X1 Fold. Lenovo is claiming the device is “the first fully…
