13.08.2018  Alldocube X tablet will challenge the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4
[Updated with launch price]. The tablet is on track to launch next month for only $270 USD. If its upcoming Indiegogo campaign proves successful, then the Alldocube X could be an affordable alternative to the pricier solutions from Apple and Samsung.

12.08.2018  Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX550 updated with Core i7-8750H CPU option
Visually, the UX580 is nothing more than a UX550 with a secondary trackpad display. Users not interested in the dual-screen capabilities of the UX580 can now get the UX550 with an Intel 8th gen Core i7 processor for $1800 USD.

10.08.2018  Razer cutting $500 off its Blade Stealth Ultrabook for this weekend only
Per-key RGB lighting, 1800p QHD+ IGZO touchscreen, Thunderbolt 3, and 16 GB of RAM for just $900 USD. The new Razer deal is one of the better promotions from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, there is one caveat that hardcore gamers should be wary of.

09.08.2018  Inexpensive Asus E406 series gets updated with Intel Gemini Lake
Although not yet available in market, the 14-inch Asus E406MA will be one of the few Asus laptops to carry Gemini Lake options. The Pentium N5000 can provide a multi-core performance boost of about 65 percent over the Pentium N3710 found on the older Asus E406SA.

09.08.2018  Zotac ZBox CI660 Nano uses just one big heat sink to cool a Core i7-8550U CPU

09.08.2018  Four-year old Microsoft Surface Pro 3 gets security update
Though the patch notes don't explicitly mention it, the update is likely addressing the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities on the old Microsoft 2-in-1 tablet. Owners should prepare for a small performance drop if so.

08.08.2018  Eurocom Sky X7C (i7-8086K, GTX 1080, Clevo P775TM1-G) Laptop Review
Core i7-8086K mobile debut. The Sky X7C manages to fit a Core i7-8086K LGA1151 CPU in a 15.6-inch chassis to make it one of the fastest gaming laptops available. Nonetheless, performance benefits are somewhat marginal. The main draw of the Eurocom laptop continues to be its ease of serviceability.

07.08.2018  Asus removes references to Whiskey Lake, same references pop up elsewhere on the site
Kaby Lake-R has proven to be much more capable than the 7th gen Kaby Lake U-series to the point where performance can rival a Core i5-7300HQ. If Whiskey Lake-U will be similar, then it would be the perfect candidate for entry-level gaming laptops like the Asus ROG GL series.

07.08.2018  HP Pavilion 15-cs0053cl (i5-8250U, HD) Laptop Review
Getting better. The Pavilion series has come a long way in terms of design and feel. This latest iteration is a major improvement, but still far inferior to the higher-end Envy and Spectre series.

06.08.2018  Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UA now shipping for $800 USD
The new entry-level SKU is $300 to $400 cheaper than the current UX331UN SKU by axing the dedicated GPU and halving both the LPDDR3 RAM (16 GB to 8 GB) and internal M.2 storage (512 GB to 256 GB).

06.08.2018  AMD announces new semi-custom Ryzen SoC for Chinese PC makers
The quad-core 3 GHz Ryzen CPU will integrate a 1.3 GHz Vega-based GPU with 24 Compute Units connected to 8 GB of GDDR5 VRAM. This particular SoC will debut on a gaming console designed specifically for the Chinese market by PC maker Subor. Prices are still unknown.

05.08.2018  Microsoft Surface Go continues the series streak of poor serviceability
Microsoft has been avoiding giving away the battery capacity of the new Surface Go and now we can see why. The small 26 Wh battery of the Surface Go has us wary about battery life as this is almost half the capacity of last year's Surface Pro.

03.08.2018  Strangely, the Dell G7 15 with GTX 1060 is currently less expensive than the GTX 1050 Ti option
Laptops with the GeForce GTX 1060 will always be more expensive than the same model with the slower GeForce GTX 1050. Price mistake or not, the Dell G7 15 with the GTX 1060 Max-Q is suddenly cheaper than the GTX 1050 Ti option. The sale extends across the entire G5 lineup, but the price cut is steeper on the GTX 1060 Max-Q SKU for one reason or another.

01.08.2018  The Apple iPhone X is outselling the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus almost 4-to-1
Approximately 23 percent of all current smartphone users in the United States are using a Samsung model. Sales of the latest Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus smartphones, however, have been sluggish with a worldwide userbase that is less than one-third of the iPhone X.

01.08.2018  Dell G3 15 3579 (i5-8300H, GTX 1050, FHD) Laptop Review
Value-oriented. The new Dell G series caters to gamers on tighter budgets who may find the Alienware series to be out of reach. While core performance remains intact, the cut corners for this inexpensive offering add up quickly.

30.07.2018  Chuwi LapBook SE will ship with a Gemini Lake Celeron N4100 CPU
The 13.3-inch laptop will fit right in between the 12.3-inch LapBook and 14.1-inch LapBook Air. The inexpensive laptop will rely on the 6 W Celeron N4100 for yet another low-power lightweight offering from the Chinese manufacturer. Let's hope that construction quality will be better this time around.

27.07.2018  Fortnite for Android could be launching exclusively on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9
What better way to show off the power of the Exynos 9820 by letting gamers stream and play Fortnite on the Galaxy Note 9? Samsung wants to associate its upcoming flagship smartphone with the most popular multi-player game on Twitch.

27.07.2018  Honor slashing prices on its smartphones for this week only
The View10 is down from $500 USD to $430 USD so long as you're willing to create an Honor account before checkout. The sale is timed right in the middle of the Summer season as a way to attract students to more affordable Android solutions.

26.07.2018  Buy a Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus and get a free Samsung Chromebook

24.07.2018  Toshiba XG6 NVMe SSD series is first to utilize 96-layer 3D flash memory modules
When compared to 64-bit 3D flash, Toshiba's 96-layer BiCS flash technology promises to consume 4.7 W less power while providing potentially higher storage capacities. The OEM intends to launch its XG6 series soon for high-performance client PCs and laptops where competition from Samsung, Lite-On, and SK Hynix is fierce.

24.07.2018  Asus accidentally leaks Whiskey Lake Core i5 and i7 CPUs for upcoming ROG GL503 refresh
The official Asus Bangladesh website is listing the ROG Strix GL503 with Whiskey Lake Core i5-8265U and i7-8565U processor options. It could simply be a mistake, but with IFA 2018 right around the corner, it could also be hinting at a host of Whiskey Lake laptops just waiting to be announced.

24.07.2018  One month later, the Razer Blade 15 GTX 1060 is still out of stock
The eye-catching Blade 15 officially starts at $1900 USD, but the cheapest configuration sits at $2200 due to insufficient stock. There have been no announcements on when we can expect the sub $2000 configuration to be available.

23.07.2018  New silicon-graphite mixture promises over four times the battery life of traditional Li-ion batteries
A Norwegian tech company says its "SiliconX" battery can let you drive over 600 miles or power your smartphone for a week on just a single charge when compared to an equivalent volume of Li-ion cells. Its secret is a proprietary mixture of silicon and graphite that will give up to a five-fold in battery capacity over current Li-ion technology.

23.07.2018  'Rammus' could be the next Asus Chromebook with Kaby Lake
The aging Asus Chromebook Flip C302 could soon have a proper successor if the "Rammus" code name is any indication. With IFA 2018 not far off, the Taiwanese manufacturer could be preparing an announcement for its overdue Chromebook refresh. Early rumors point to a mainstream or high-end offering with a backlit keyboard and Kaby Lake U-class or Y-class processor options.

22.07.2018  Asus VivoBook 15 K570UD (i7-8550U. GTX 1050) Laptop Review
Lightweight performer. The new Vivobook is lighter and thinner than most 15.6-inch laptops equipped with the same GeForce GTX 1050 GPU. The keyboard and poor serviceability, however, bring down an otherwise great multimedia machine.

22.07.2018  VirtualLink will combine USB, HDMI, and power all in one cable to make VR more accessible
A single USB Type-C port may be all that's needed for a PC VR experience. VirtualLink 1.0 will define a new 'Alternate Mode' standard over the familiar USB port to hopefully reduce cable clutter associated with popular virtual reality headsets.

21.07.2018  The wacky dual-screen Asus Zenbook does Core i9 better than the MacBook Pro
It may not be able to sustain Turbo Boost for very long, but at least the Core i9 in the Zenbook UX580 can maintain base clock rates when under heavy processing load. With such high core temperatures in the 90 C range, however, it's no wonder that the same i9 CPU in the even thinner MacBook Pro is getting a lot of negative press for its supposed throttling behavior.

21.07.2018  Nvidia pushing GTX-powered gaming laptops in time for back-to-school season
Nvidia wants you to start the new school year with an Asus ROG Zephyrus, Acer Predator, MSI GS65, Razer Blade, or Dell Alienware laptop. Prices range from $600 USD for a GTX 1050 notebook up to $2800 USD for a fully-configured GTX 1080 Max-Q.

19.07.2018  A comparison of MSI laptop motherboards
Next to Clevo barebones, notebooks from MSI are some of the easiest to disassemble and upgrade. We've collected a series of motherboard images from our own collection to show how the MSI G Series has evolved over the years from the old GT60 up to the latest GS65.

18.07.2018  Some Intel Core i9 laptops are not running any faster than a Core i7
There are generational performance leaps, and then there is pure marketing. The Core i9 series has so far been leaning towards the latter in terms of raw performance. In some cases, the CPU may even be slower than the Core i7.

18.07.2018  These are the five brightest laptops we've tested thus far
Glare getting in the way of work? These consumer notebooks may not necessarily be the best, but they are some of the brightest available for outdoor visibility with some models reaching close to 700 nits.

17.07.2018  Huawei has pulled a Dell — the MateBook X Pro uses a gimped Thunderbolt 3 port
The MateBook X Pro ships with a Thunderbolt 3 port not unlike many newer Ultrabooks and gaming laptops. What Huawei isn't telling you, however, is that the port appears to offer just half the PCIe lanes for half the theoretical transfer rate of an otherwise regular Thunderbolt 3 connection.

16.07.2018  Acer Predator, Triton, and Aspire laptops discounted for Amazon Prime Day
The Predator Helios 300 is now $899 USD with a Core i7-7700HQ CPU, GTX 1060 GPU, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. It's a fairly good deal considering that laptops with the same GPU often retail for over $1100 USD.

15.07.2018  Xplore Technologies XSLATE L10 (Pentium N4200, FHD) Tablet Review
Modern and rugged. A hardened tablet with all the amenities one would expect from a consumer tablet and more. The Xplore XSLATE L10 runs on the same processor as the latest Ultrabooks with NFC, 4G LTE, and even a removable battery and a full-size HDMI port.

13.07.2018  MSI GL63 8RC (i5-8300H, GTX 1050) Laptop Review
Excellent for the price. At only $900 USD, the entry-level MSI GL63 is able to play most if not all modern titles at 1080p with some tweaked settings for smoother frame rates. The stereo speakers are surprisingly decent and fan noise is relatively low for such an inexpensive gaming machine.

11.07.2018  Dell deals kick off today in honor of Amazon Prime Day
"Doorbuster" style deals will be in effect until the end of this month for select Latitude, Inspiron, Alienware, XPS, and G series laptops. The timings of these sales are confusingly staggered and we recommend checking out our shortened list for the details.

10.07.2018  The Razer Blade 15 GTX 1060 runs cooler, quieter, and longer than its GTX 1070 version
The $1900 USD Blade 15 GTX 1060 configuration is both slower and cheaper than the Blade 15 GTX 1070 and yet it brings several benefits not available on the more powerful SKU. Our tests reveal that the 60 to 70 W GTX 1060 Max-Q option is less demanding than the 80 to 90 W GTX 1070 Max-Q for noticeably cooler core temperatures and longer battery life.

10.07.2018  Razer Blade 15 (i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max-Q, FHD) Laptop Review
Razor-sharp. After offering 13-inch, 14-inch, and 17-inch Blade laptops for years, it's about time Razer launch a 15-inch model to complete the series. This GTX 1060 Max-Q SKU is every bit as impressive as the GTX 1070 Max-Q configuration from top to bottom. Assuming, of course, that the asking price of $1900 USD hasn't turned you away.

10.07.2018  Buy a Dell G3 or G5 laptop for a free movie ticket to see Ant Man and the Wasp
The deal will run until the end of this month and it will also include a single FandangoNow digital movie rental for free. The G3 gaming laptop is Dell's entry-level gaming system equipped with GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti options ranging from $700 to $1000 USD.

09.07.2018  Some newer GeForce GT 1030 graphics cards are performing at half the speed of older models
We recommend double-checking the specifications to make sure you are getting exactly what you are buying. The GT 1030 DDR4 costs about the same as the superior GT 1030 GDDR5 while performing significantly slower in games. HTPC builders amd gamers ought to take caution.

07.07.2018  Alienware will be the official eSports sponsor for ESL One Cologne 2018
Dell wants to be a key player in the growing eSports scene by supplying professional players with PCs and monitors, giving away prizes to audience members, and running competitions and drawings involving social media.

06.07.2018  Huawei Mate 10 Pro will be $500 for Amazon Prime Day
The well-received Mate 10 Pro flagship can be had for $500 unlocked and with no strings attached. Here's hoping that stock will last for more than just a few minutes when the deal goes live in just over a week.

06.07.2018  HP Spectre x360 15 2018 (i7-8550U, GeForce MX150) Convertible Review
Even better than before. This third generation model adds a few new features to last year's model including a NumPad, fingerprint reader, narrower bezels, and a slightly larger battery. Fans are quieter and processor temps are cooler. Physically, however, the system is not any lighter or thinner.

06.07.2018  Narrow bezel laptops are prompting a worrying trend for webcams
Laptop webcams are being pushed aside so laptops can be smaller around the edges and thus lighter and more portable. If these latest laptops are any proof, then more OEMs are beginning to value webcams less and less in order to achieve a sleeker and more eye-catching "frame-less" look.

04.07.2018  Zotac ZBOX QK7P3000 (i7-7700T, Quadro P3000) Mini PC Review
Gamer-turned-workstation. Zotac has swapped out the GeForce GTX 1060 in its ZBox Magnus series for the workstation-equivalent Quadro P3000 to create a powerful mini PC for professional users. Temperature and fan noise are excellent when compared to workstation laptops. Some slight throttling behavior at extreme loads prevent this from being a must buy.

04.07.2018  Huawei Honor 10 GT smartphone comes with 8 GB of RAM because why not
The Honor 10 was launched less than two months ago, but the manufacturer is already gearing up for higher-end SKUs with even more RAM to compete directly against the OnePlus 5T, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, and Razer Phone where the 8 GB of RAM is a key selling point.

02.07.2018  Eurocom Q8 (i9-8950HK, GTX 1070, QHD) Laptop Review
Core i9 gamer. Eurocom is skipping the i7-8750H and going straight for the jugular with the more powerful i9-8950HK. Performance is indubitably faster than the last generation Core i7-7700HQ, but some repeatable throttling behavior is holding back the system.

02.07.2018  Asus' experimental trackpad display is more useful than the Apple Touch Bar - albeit with a notable flaw
Carry a 5.5-inch 1080p secondary display with you wherever you go with the Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX580. On paper, the concept of having the trackpad be a second display would be immensely useful for multimedia and productivity purposes. In practice, however, there are some ergonomic stumbling blocks users should keep in mind.

01.07.2018  Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 2018 coming to Europe
The all-aluminum 13.3-inch Mi Notebook Air will launch this month for 900 Euros. The Xiaomi laptop is set to compete with more popular and pricier alternatives like the Huawei MateBook X, Dell XPS 13, Microsoft Surface Laptop, HP Spectre 13, and the Asus ZenBook series. New brick and mortar stores will be opening as well to promote the launch.

29.06.2018  Intel CPU roadmap delays purportedly causing headaches for major OEMs
Manufacturers may have to milk existing notebook designs even further for this Holiday season since Intel's next generation CPUs are not expected to come anytime soon. Global notebook shipments will almost surely be slower YoY as a result unless if Nvidia can surprise us with an early Turing launch.

28.06.2018  TechInsight dissects and analyzes the Cannon Lake Core i3-8121U
A detail teardown to the silicon level reveals some defining characteristics of Intel's upcoming 10 nm lithography. The new reports will detail how this early Cannon Lake CPU differs from the previous generation of Intel CPUs and how it compares to the 10 nm nodes from Samsung.

25.06.2018  Micron now mass producing GDDR6 VRAM modules for next generation Nvidia Turing
The manufacturer is promising 64 GB/s from a single GDDR6 package for future applications in artificial intelligence, networking, automotive, and of course, graphics. Example modules will be on display this week at the ISC 2018 conference in Frankfurt, Germany. These same chips will very likely target the next generation of consumer graphics cards.

25.06.2018  Disable Intel Display Power Saving Technology to increase maximum display brightness
Most Windows laptops prioritize battery life at the cost of a dimmer display. If you frequently find yourself squinting at washed out content when using your glossy laptop or Windows tablet outdoors, then disabling this automatic feature can make things a little easier.

24.06.2018  'Cheza' could be HP's first detachable Chromebook with a Snapdragon 845
Promised features like eSIM and Always Connected PCs could debut on the Snapdragon 845-powered 'Cheza' Chromebook. More unverified code in Chromium have shed some light on the unannounced model including the potential for a 1440p or 2160p display and an integrated X20 modem. A Snapdragon Chromebook would compete directly with Microsoft's plans to launch Windows on ARM.

23.06.2018  Qualcomm may be turning to TSMC instead of Samsung for its upcoming 7 nm Snapdragon series
The race for smaller and more efficient semiconductor processes continues with 7 nm being the next magic number. Qualcomm is apparently ready to contract TSMC to manufacture the next generation of Snapdragon SoCs for the first time in over 10 years. Samsung had been Qualcomm's go-to company for the 14 nm and 10 nm nodes, but partnering with TSMC will allow Qualcomm to receive both Snapdragon SoCs and 5G modems from one production source.

22.06.2018  Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX580GE (i9-8950HK, GTX 1050 Ti, 4K UHD) Laptop Review
Seeing double. Asus wants to one-up Apple's Touch Bar with an even crazier idea of turning the traditional touchpad into a full-fledged 1080p secondary display. Surprisingly enough, it's actually quite useful and more than just a novelty. We can see the unique feature becoming a mainstay in Asus' flagship series in another generation or so when all the wrinkles and drawbacks can be ironed out.

21.06.2018  U.S. government wants Google to break up with Huawei
In a second letter this month, lawmakers are again expressing concern that Google has been showing preference in working with the Chinese telecommunications company rather than the U.S. army. The search giant only sees Huawei as just one of many contractors under its belt with no current plans to cease cooperation for now.

21.06.2018  Asus will be the first to offer 144 Hz/3 ms narrow-bezel panels from AUO this year
Want the fastest black-white and gray-to-gray response times on your next gaming laptop purchase? Then Asus will be the only option for now. The manufacturer has partnered with AU Optronics to develop 144 Hz/3 ms panels for Asus notebooks like the ROG Scar II, Hero II, and Zephyrus GM501.

19.06.2018  Sensitive to onscreen flickering? Take caution when purchasing these Lenovo ThinkPad SKUs
The ThinkPad T, X, and P families are home to Lenovo's more well-known models including the 14-inch T480, 15-inch T580, X380 convertible, and 15-inch P52 workstation. While their design, features, and performance are generally very well received, many may be unfit for users who are sensitive to flickering lights. Be wary when purchasing the following ThinkPad models.

17.06.2018  Chuwi HiGame mini PC has proven to be successful on Indiegogo, on track for a $1299 USD launch
The Intel Hades Canyon NUC is finally getting a direct competitor in the form of the Chuwi HiGame. The manufacturer has gathered enough backers over the last few months to finally commit to an August launch window. Backers will be able to buy the Core i5-8305G SKU for $900 USD or a full $400 off the final retail price.

17.06.2018  Unihertz Atom will be the world's smallest rugged 4G smartphone
The 2.45-inch Android smartphone will carry all the mainstream features of a modern smartphone including NFC, Gorilla Glass, USB Type-C, FM radio, IP68 certification, 4G LTE, Android 8.1 Oreo, Bluetooth 4.2, and even a fingerprint sensor for just $160 USD. The design suggests it to be a spiritual successor to the Unihertz Jelly series.

17.06.2018  Asus VivoBook 15 F510UF (i7-8550U, GeForce MX130) Laptop Review
Cheap price, cheap chassis. There is nothing about this VivoBook that makes it stand out from the crowded 15-inch multimedia segment. When considering the target market and inexpensive price, however, the dull impression shouldn't be a problem. We're hoping that future revisions will address the poor keyboard while adding in USB Type-C charging.

15.06.2018  Sony Playstation 5 getting thrown under the bus for poorly-received Radeon RX Vega series
AMD's semi-custom chipset technologies for Microsoft, Sony, and even Intel may be becoming too lucrative to ignore. If rumors are true, then the AMD Navi series will not be competing in the flagship space against the impending Nvidia Turing GTX 1180 or 2080 due to development commitments with Sony.

11.06.2018  Lenovo has no plans for a Legion Y920 successor for now
According to Lenovo, there will be no new additions to the ultra high-end Legion Y900 series as priorities have shifted to the mainstream gaming segment instead. The more affordable Legion Y530, Y730, and Y7000 will all be launching in the July to September time frame. There is potential in a proper Y920 successor further down the line when the new Nvidia GPUs become available.

11.06.2018  Upcoming Legion Y530 and Y730 are Lenovo's best bet against the MSI GS65 and XPS 15 9570
Lenovo's Legion gaming series is getting a full-on makeover from top to bottom. The new streamlined designs incorporate per-key RGB lighting, narrow bezels, 144 Hz IPS panels, 10 percent stronger cooling, and a more business-appropriate matte look. Expect these systems to launch next month for a starting price of $930 USD and $1180 USD for the Y530 and Y730, respectively.

11.06.2018  Lenovo Legion series will branch off into two distinct designs with the Y7000 and Y530
The 2017 15.6-inch Legion Y520 will split into two successors this year as the Legion Y530 and Legion Y7000. The Y7000 represents a more natural evolution of the existing Legion design while the Y530 will be more restrained in its looks to appeal to office workers. Both, however, are otherwise very similar in performance and internal options.

11.06.2018  Budget Jumper EZbook X4 laptop with Gemini Lake now shipping
Intel's 14 nm Goldmont Plus platform is seeing a very limited release as laptops equipped with Celeron N4000/N4100 or Pentium N5000 SoCs are still difficult to come by. Chinese manufacturers may finally be jumping in to scoop up the inexpensive CPU series and offer cheap Windows laptops. The EZbook X4 is one such model that promises a lot of mainstream features like 1080p and backlit keys for just under $300 USD.

08.06.2018  EVGA shows off SC15 with Coffee Lake-H and GTX 1070 Max-Q... again
The California hardware company will be reusing its SC15 design from last year with only internal CPU and GPU updates for 2018. While its chassis is strong and quite rigid, it risks looking outdated against the competition where narrow bezels and per-key RGB lighting are becoming the norm.

07.06.2018  Honor GPU Turbo technology promises 30 percent power savings in smartphones
GPU Boost will not increase the clock rate of the GPU as its name might suggest. Instead, the Honor technology will dramatically improve the power efficiency of GPUs in its smartphones to improve battery life. The manufacturer is claiming that a mid-range smartphone with GPU Boost can outperform a flagship smartphone without GPU Boost while allowing for HDR and higher frame rates in games.

07.06.2018  Mainstream laptops with OLED displays may still have a long way to go
Do you own a laptop with an OLED display? It's going to have to last because IPS displays continue to be the go-to panel technology for nearly all new models. Both Lenovo and Dell discontinued their only OLED laptops last year and have told us that they have no short-term plans to reintroduce an OLED option.

06.06.2018  Eurocom Q6 (i7-8750H, GTX 1070 Max-Q, FHD) Laptop Review
Super slim and fast. Last year's Eurocom Q5 has gotten some changes both internal and external, but it's the new processor swap that has us excited. The Eurocom Q6 offers the same GTX 1070-level graphics as its predecessor with Intel's hexa-core Coffee Lake-H CPU.

06.06.2018  Alienware Academy online program aims to train the next generation of pro gamers
Dell wants the Alienware brand to be more deeply associated with competitive gaming. Instead of just eSports sponsorships like other brands, Dell will attempt to train potential pro gamers directly with the help of Team Liquid. Details are still very scarce on what the online program will involve, but we are expecting more to be revealed during Dell's E3 press conference.

06.06.2018  HP ProBook x360 440 G1 convertible integrates both Spectre and EliteBook features for $600 USD
The convertible is essentially a ProBook x360 440 G5 but with 360-degree hinges and a 1080p touchscreen. Its 14-inch form factor and relatively inexpensive starting price will set it directly against the Lenovo ThinkPad 14 and Dell Inspiron 14 5000 series when it launches before the end of June.

06.06.2018  AMD will use Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics on a Ryzen laptop for the first time ever with the Asus X570ZD
Red and Green in one consumer laptop without any tricks or eGPU docks. The Asus X570ZD laptop will be the first to incorporate a Ryzen 7 2700U APU with integrated Vega 10 graphics and a dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 GPU for more demanding tasks like gaming. AMD is promising the graphics switching technology to be seamless not unlike the current implementation of Nvidia Optimus on Intel-powered laptops. Prices, SKUs, and availability are all still under wraps for now.

06.06.2018  Nvidia will be giving away Max-Q laptops all month long in latest contest
Take a picture of yourself using any laptop outdoors for a chance to win a brand new Max-Q laptop. Max-Q technology was designed for thin-and-light gaming notebooks that can also be used on-the-go like an Ultrabook. Only four winners will be announced on July 30th with specific Max-Q models from Acer, Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte.

06.06.2018  OnePlus 6 now available in white, WiFi calling mysteriously absent in some European regions
(June 7 update with OnePlus statement) Irate owners in Germany have started a petition requesting Voice over LTE and WiFi calling features to be enabled on their new OnePlus 6 devices. OnePlus has clarified that its OnePlus 6 is already equipped with the necessary bands to support such features. Instead, it is the carriers that must support VoLTE and WiFi calling for the latest smartphone.

05.06.2018  AMD Raven Ridge will incorporate Cypress EZ-PD CCG5 controller to reduce USB Type-C costs
USB Type-C Gen. 2 is still rather uncommon on notebooks. The single-chip controller solution from Cypress should make it less expensive for both Intel and AMD to integrate multiple USB Type-C Gen. 2 ports onto laptops while allowing for 100 W power delivery and better fail-safe mechanisms.

05.06.2018  Asus shows off 12.9 mm-thin ZenBook S UX391 with unique ErgoLift hinges for $1200 USD
The lightweight laptop is exactly as thin as the ZenBook 3 UX490UA but with improved cooling and a unique hinge setup. Asus is promising better ergonomics and external GPU (eGPU) support via its integrated Thunderbolt 3 ports. The system launches in one week for $1200 USD.

05.06.2018  Gigabyte Sabre 15 updated with 8th gen Core CPUs, Intel Optane, and more
The Sabre series is back with updated features and even Intel Optane support. The chassis design, however, is looking to be identical to last year's model with the only changes being exclusively internal. Gigabyte says it will be the first gaming laptop to ship with Core i7+ CPUs meaning that users can configure with Optane memory to boost HDD transfer rates.

05.06.2018  Asus reaffirms Gal Gadot as their brand ambassador
"Wonder Woman" and "Asus" come together like peanut butter and jelly. The titular actress was appointed to brand ambassador for Asus PCs early this year and Asus is leveraging that fact again for Computex 2018. The move will hopefully boost Asus' public image to ultimately sell more PCs worldwide.

05.06.2018  MSI Prestige PS42 is the 14-inch version of the GS65
The 14-inch PS42 ships with Intel U-class CPUs and a GeForce MX150 GPU in an aluminum chassis very similar to that of the 15.6-inch GS65. The design could potentially lead to a proper successor for the old GS43 Shadow since the two Prestige and Gaming G Series families almost always share chassis designs. The PS42 will ship in Europe by the end of next month.

05.06.2018  MSI Trident PC gets bigger and badder with the Trident A
The Trident A is nearly three times larger than the existing Trident 3 with more lights, sharper corners, stronger cooling, and Intel 8th gen CPUs. Those hoping for a "Trident 4" will be disappointed to find out that there is still no proper successor to the venerable but aging Trident 3 form factor.

04.06.2018  Asus finally has its own thin-bezel gaming laptop with the ROG GL504 Strix Scar II and Hero II
As previously rumored, Asus now has a proper competitor to the MSI GS65 with its ROG GL504 series. The 15.6-inch laptop offers 144 Hz IPS panels, 3 ms gray-to-gray response times, and quad-antenna ROG RangeBoost technology for the first time in a laptop that promises 30 percent wider WiFi coverage than dual-antenna configurations. The GL504 launches next quarter for 1550 Euros.

03.06.2018  AMD Ryzen 5 2600H and Ryzen 7 2800H spotted on 3DMark, could compete against the Core i7-8750H
These two unconfirmed quad-core APUs could potentially be part of AMD's high-performance Ryzen series for gaming laptops. If true, laptop gamers may finally have a proper alternative to the ubiquitous i7-6700HQ, i5-7300HQ, i7-7700HQ, and i7-8750H CPUs that power essentially all the latest gaming notebooks in the market today. With Computex right around the corner, we're crossing our fingers for a proper announcement.

03.06.2018  Huawei set to launch Honor MagicBook laptop with AMD Ryzen and Vega graphics
The mainstream 14-inch SKU will serve as the AMD alternative to the existing Intel MagicBook with Core i5-8250U CPUs and GeForce MX150 graphics. Chinese retailers are already detailing the "Sharp Dragon" Ryzen configuration albeit without an official price for now. Unfortunately, don't expect the MagicBook to launch globally anytime soon. The Vega 8 should offer a similar graphics experience as the GeForce 940MX.

01.06.2018  Potential leak points to a proper successor to the peculiar Lenovo Yoga Book
Despite swiftly killing off its Chrome OS-based Yoga Book early last year, Lenovo may have been silently working on a brand new Yoga Book 2 all along. The "YOGA BOOK Pen2" could suggest a brand new stylus for a yet-to-be-announced Yoga Book successor. The original Yoga Book launched two years ago as an attractively thin 10.1-inch Windows convertible with a proof-of-concept touch keyboard.

01.06.2018  The MSI Pro 24X AiO boasts a super-thin design with narrow bezels
MSI wants to bring style to the seemingly stale world of business PCs with its latest AiO. The 23.6-inch Pro 24X has bezels just 2.2 mm narrow and a thickness of only 6.5 mm along the top. Internally, however, it's a bit disappointing to see no discrete GPUs or 8th gen Intel CPUs. The MSI AiO launches in July for 550 Euros.

30.05.2018  OnePlus 6 teardown digs deeper into its water-resistant claims
OnePlus promises dust and water resistance without any IP certifications for its latest flagship. This obviously raises some red flags, but a detailed teardown of the smartphone reveals that it's properly sealed not unlike competing smartphones with official IP67 certification. OnePlus may have waived the certification process to cut costs and keep prices as low as possible.

30.05.2018  Intel's Core i5-8300H is proving to be a decent upgrade over last year's Core i5-7300HQ
Gamers in the market for a new gaming laptop can purchase a budget Intel 8th gen system with the Core i5-8300H and get nearly the same CPU performance as a pricier Intel 7th gen system with the Core i7-7700HQ. The i5-8300H introduces Hyper-Threading to the series whereas the older i5-7300HQ was limited to only half the threads for measurably slower CPU performance.

29.05.2018  Lenovo Flex 6 11 (Celeron N4000) Convertible Review
Flexibility for $280. The Flex 6 11 tries to be both an inexpensive Windows tablet and a laptop all at once. It does the job decently enough for a Celeron-based system, but the subpar display leaves a lot to be desired even at this low price range.

29.05.2018  New video demonstrates USB 3.2 with transfer rates of up to 20 Gbps
USB is about to get more complicated in the next couple of years. Now that USB 3.1 Gen. 2 is almost four years old, a Californian company is ready to introduce the world to USB 3.2 and has even demonstrated how fast the new standard will be through video. If all goes well, USB 3.2 could provide similar transfer rates as Thunderbolt 2 or twice that of USB 3.1 Gen. 2.

27.05.2018  Gaming laptops, Chromebooks, and convertibles are keeping the PC market afloat
Laptops, smartphones, and convertibles are slowly eating into the shrinking tablet market. The biggest bright spot is perhaps the convertible notebook market with the only positive compound annual growth rate of 8.8 percent until 2022. Sales of traditional laptops aren't as steep as previous years due in part to the increasing sales of gaming PCs and inexpensive Chromebooks.

25.05.2018  TSMC purportedly readying Apple A12 production for upcoming iPhone X Plus
Apple could beat Qualcomm to market with the first consumer smartphone equipped with a 7 nm SoC. Its custom A12 processor is predicted to power the next generation of iPhone and iPad devices coming later this year. As usual, the iPhone maker is keeping quiet until its annual WWDC press event next month where refreshed MacBooks are also rumored to make an appearance.

24.05.2018  Asus TUF FX504GD (Core i5-8300H, GTX 1050) Laptop Review
Starter gamer. Asus has made its inexpensive FX series even more affordable by reducing the battery capacity, GPU power, and number of ports. The end result is definitely easier on the wallet, but the TN display and primary HDD drag down the system.

24.05.2018  ChromeBook Tab 10 is the world's first Chromebook tablet
Acer's ChromeBook Tab 10 has been available since March, but Acer had one on display for us to take a quick look. It continues to be the first slate tablet in the market running Chrome OS. Convertible notebooks running Chrome OS already exist such as on the Lenovo ThinkPad 11e or HP ChromeBook x360 11. Like most newer Chromebooks, the 9.7-inch ChromeBook Tab 10 supports the Android Play Store.

23.05.2018  Upcoming Razer Core X eGPU dock is larger and cheaper than the current Core V2
Unlike the Aorus Gaming Box, the Razer eGPU promises to work with MacBooks and is much larger in volume to support 3-slot graphics cards. The new Core X is already in stock and shipping for $300 USD sans a GPU. The announcement comes on the same day as the reveal of the first 15.6-inch Razer Blade laptop to compete with the MSI GS65.

22.05.2018  OnePlus has done it — there are now lines of customers waiting to buy the OnePlus 6
The pre-launch event has proven successful in building even more hype surrounding the impending launch of the OnePlus 6. At least a couple hundred visitors were at the 4-hour event with many interested in purchasing the smartphone right away. For everyone else, the flagship phone will become available online starting May 22, 6 AM PST in two color options.

22.05.2018  Gaming market expected to balloon past $90 billion USD by 2020
A 2016 study has high hopes for gamers even though consoles and physical discs are not anywhere near where they used to be a decade ago. Mobile gaming could rise to 68.4 billion USD in market value by the end of this year compared to 59.8 billion in 2017 with Fortnite, PUBG, Candy Crush Saga, and Pokemon Go leading the pack in terms of popularity.

21.05.2018  Select Acer laptops will ship with Amazon Alexa pre-installed
Control your smart home with a compatible Acer laptop. The free update will begin rolling out today for Spin 3 and Spin 5 owners with more on store shelves beginning in June. Instead of offering the software as an option, however, owners will have one more pre-installed software application that they will have to manually uninstall if they have no interest in Alexa or if they prefer Microsoft Cortana.

21.05.2018  Huawei MateBook X Pro launching in U.S. for $900 after gift card rebates
The $300 USD gift card will apply to new purchases of the MateBook X Pro made through Amazon and NewEgg in an attempt to create buzz. The promotion will end after June 10. Huawei's latest 13.9-inch laptop is thicker than its last but also significantly more powerful to justify the larger dimensions.

21.05.2018  Huawei Matebook X Pro (i5-8250U, MX150) Laptop Review
Market disruptor. Huawei wants to prove that you don't need to spend $1500 or more for a decently specced XPS 13 or MacBook Pro. The MateBook X Pro attempts to give it all with an attractively thin aluminum design, 3:2 touchscreen, discrete Nvidia graphics, Thunderbolt 3, and an Intel U class CPU for less than what major competitors are currently offering.

20.05.2018  The Core i7-8750H in the MSI GS65 is slightly slower than in the Asus Zephyrus M GM501
Throttling behavior has improved over the MSI GS63, but that is only because initial clock rates are lower than what the Core i7-8750H CPU is capable of when compared to the same CPU in the latest Zephyrus or Aero. Multi-thread performance is around 5 to 10 percent slower on the MSI as a result. Fortunately, the differences are minuscule for gaming purposes.

18.05.2018  Chuwi GBox HTPC promises quad-core Gemini Lake in a compact form factor
Not to be confused with the ZBox or XBox, the GBox mini PC targets home theater users and video streamers in a chassis just 0.98 L in volume and 1.5-inches thick. Chuwi is promising that the new Gemini Lake platform can bring a 60 percent performance boost over the last generation Apollo Lake while consuming less than 10 Watts for the entire unit. Prices and launch dates remain unknown.

14.05.2018  Upcoming HP EliteBook x360 G3 convertible promises a ridiculously bright 700-nit display
Tired of not being able to see your laptop screen when outdoors? HP’s EliteBook x360 1030 G3 is going to be almost three times brighter than the average Ultrabook to overcome both glare and sunlight for improved outdoor visibility. The display will easily be one of the brightest in both the consumer and business markets. Expect availability as early as next month along with new Envy x360 and Elite x2 products.

12.05.2018  Microsoft quietly acknowledges Surface Pro 4 screen flicker, offers free replacements
The Redmond company is finally caving in to the user complaints. The replacement program promises refurbished models for any Surface Pro 4 owner who can prove that they are suffering from the problem, have not damaged the unit, and have not broken warranty. There is currently no end date to the program.

12.05.2018  Leaks suggest an Asus ROG gaming smartphone for Computex 2018
The Republic of Gamers name may be about to expand into new territory. Although a surprising concept, the idea may not be that far-fetched as there are already a small number of gaming-centric smartphones including those from Razer, Xiaomi, and ZTE. A ROG smartphone could theoretically be based off of Asus' existing ZenFone line of consumer smartphones to lower upfront costs of investment.

10.05.2018  Nvidia graphics cards are now almost down to MSRP
It's strange to be celebrating a two-year old product being "close" to its suggested retail price, but here we are. Nvidia is proudly reminding all its followers on Facebook that its GTX 10 graphics cards are now in stock at more reasonable prices for gamers. The GTX 1080 and GTX 1060 can be purchased directly from Nvidia for $550 USD and $250 USD, respectively. The news comes within days of existing rumors of the impending GTX 1180.

10.05.2018  HP EliteBook 735/745/755 G5 and ProBook 645 G4 launching this month with AMD Ryzen PRO
Unlike the EliteBook xx0 or ProBook xx0 series, the alternative xx5 series is equipped with AMD options that are typically less expensive than the standard Intel offerings. All of the new models will carry the same Ryzen 3 PRO 2300U to Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U APUs and integrated Vega graphics. The updated systems will succeed the poorly-received Bristol Ridge APUs as found on the EliteBooks and ProBooks of yesteryear.

08.05.2018  The Kaby Lake-G Core i7-8705G offers no substantial benefits over the Core i5-8305G
Based solely on our two XPS 15 9575 samples, the presence of Hyper-Threading for the Core i5 series has allowed the 65 W i5-8305G to perform much more closely to the 65 W i7-8705G than one would expect. This is in stark contrast to the older 45 W i5-7300HQ where the 45 W i7-7700HQ and even the 15 W i7-8550U can outperform it in multi-threaded workloads. Shoppers now have one less reason to buy the more expensive i7 over the i5.

08.05.2018  Dell XPS 15 9575 (i7-8705G, Vega M GL, 4K UHD) Convertible Review
Higher price, same CPU performance. The Core i5 XPS 15 9575 impressed us in terms of raw performance and graphical prowess for such a thin convertible. The Core i7 SKU performs just as well, albeit at very marginal benefits. For better or worse, the differences between the i5 and i7 SKUs are smaller than we had anticipated.

08.05.2018  Linksys WRT32XB will be the first router optimized specifically for Xbox gaming
The WRT32X is relaunching tomorrow with a special WRT32XB edition designed for Xbox gamers. Its software will be tuned out-of-the-box to prioritize Xbox online and streaming traffic while still offering the same high-end features as the WRT32X. Linksys is citing the rapidly growing gaming market for the soft relaunch of its gaming router.

08.05.2018  Huawei cuts Mate 10 Pro down to $650 USD, introduces new Mocha Brown color
The Mate 10 Pro launched in the United States for $800 three months ago, but it can now be purchased for $150 less through major online retailers like Amazon, Newegg, and B&H. Huawei's mid-range MateBook D laptop will also be $200 cheaper for only this upcoming week. The temporary price cuts aim to bolster sales in the backdrop of U.S. surveillance and suspicion of Chinese-branded telecommunication devices.

06.05.2018  The super-thin Asus Zenbook Pro 15 is getting an Intel Core i9 option
The UX550VE is being refreshed to the UX550GD with i5-8300H, i7-8750H, and even i9-8950HK SKUs. At just 18.9 mm thick, this would make the Asus notebook one of the thinnest to ship with a Core i9 processor. No other changes have been made to the chassis including the 8 to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, FHD or 4K UHD touchscreen, glass trackpad, 1.5 mm keyboard keys, and selection of ports. Prices and availability are not yet known.

04.05.2018  Samsung and Amazon fall flat in latest quarterly tablet shipments
The slate tablet continues to sink while detachables steadily grow to take its place. Apple, Samsung, and Huawei were collectively responsible for over 55 percent of all tablets sold worldwide during the first quarter of 2018. Convertible notebooks, or systems that can twist, flip, or spin, have not been included in the data. The news comes just days after rumors of Q2 2018 being yet another low for the tablet market.

03.05.2018  OnePlus 6 launching on May 21 for early adopters around the world
The manufacturer will be throwing "pop-up events" in at least 14 cities across North America and Europe for the public to experience the upcoming OnePlus 6 firsthand. Prizes, food, and special guests have been announced to encourage users to come. The events are free with no RSVP necessary.

03.05.2018  Aorus GTX 1080 Gaming Box Review
60 FPS gaming on an Ultrabook. Aorus is well-known for cramming as much power as possible in the smallest form factors and the $700 USD Gaming Box is no different. The eGPU promises to turbocharge any Thunderbolt 3 PC to be a gaming monster. Our tests reveal that Aorus is true to its word, albeit with some notable software hiccups and asterisks that every potential owner should know about before purchasing.

02.05.2018  Dell Gaming G3, G5, and G7 series now shipping to succeed the Inspiron 15 7577
By pulling the Inspiron Gaming notebooks away from the Inspiron series, Dell can now offer more options and sizes to better cater to budget-mainstream gamers who may not want to spend an arm and a leg on a hulking Alienware. The new Dell Gaming G series competes directly against the HP Pavilion Gaming series where the GTX 1050 and GTX 1060 Max-Q are common finds. No word yet on if future SKUs would also carry AMD options.

02.05.2018  Dell slashing prices off select business laptops from now until the end of May
The Vostro 15 5000 gets a 40 percent price cut with a free Western Digital HDD thrown in for good measure on some deals. The promotion includes systems with 8th gen Intel Core ix CPUs as well. The timing of the price cuts are in line with the recent announcements of a refresh across the Precision and Wyse Thin Client families set to launch towards the end of the month.

30.04.2018  Samsung, Micron, and Hynix control 96 percent of DRAM market, now accused of price fixing
Manufacturers may have been artificially inflating DRAM prices by restricting supply and agreeing to not cannibalize the market share of others. The abnormal rise in revenue by as much as 166 percent YoY has caused at least one U.S. law firm to investigate further into the matter with correlative results.

29.04.2018  Nothing to see here — Nvidia "Max-P" is just a regular non Max-Q GPU
Samsung recently divulged the name "Max-P" to describe the GTX 1060 GPU in its upcoming Odyssey Z gaming laptop before quietly removing the word. However, we can confirm that "Max-P" is simply a standard GPU without the Max-Q designation. The GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070, and 1080 found on most gaming laptops are all technically "Max-P" graphics cards so long as they are not Max-Q GPUs.

28.04.2018  T-Mobile and Sprint are closer than ever to a potential merger
The CDMA giant has only one-third the install base of the largest smartphone carrier in the U.S. at only 53 million users. Should it merge with T-Mobile, the combined user count would still be millions fewer than Verizon and AT&T, but the combined resources would allow Deutsche Telekom and SoftBank to better compete in the wake of 5G technology. Talks between T-Mobile and Sprint have been on and off for the past 4 years due to anti-trust concerns.

27.04.2018  The Dell XPS 15 9575 convertible is now suddenly $200 cheaper
Dell has introduced a new SKU to its lineup that halves the storage capacity for a cheaper introductory price of $1300 USD. Core specifications are otherwise untouched from the Core i5-8305G CPU, FHD touchscreen, Radeon Vega M GL GPU, and 8 GB of DDR4 RAM. The new SKU is a smart move since the SSD in the XPS 15 9575 is easy to upgrade if necessary.

26.04.2018  Report claims 55 percent of all retail laptops will carry SSDs by 2019
To enthusiasts, a primary SSD may seem like a no-brainer for new PCs. Unfortunately, everyday shoppers at most retailers are still drawn in by the higher capacities and lower price points that HDDs offer and not realize the immense performance benefits of SSDs. Two of the largest PC manufacturers in the world will purportedly push primary SSDs onto more budget and mainstream laptops in lieu of HDDs should NAND prices continue to decline.

26.04.2018  Samsung has sold over 8 million Galaxy S9 smartphones in just the first month
Prices for the Galaxy S9 series continue to fall to as low as 600 Euros in some regions like Spain. An independent study from a market analytical firm has revealed that Samsung's latest flagship is tracking slower than the Galaxy S7 but faster than the Galaxy S8 due to more aggressive pricing and promotional deals. The Galaxy S9 has been widely available for over a month in most markets around the world.

25.04.2018  Alienware has no current plans for Kaby Lake-G
According to Dell, Kaby Lake-G caters better to casual mainstream gamers while the Alienware brand will stick to hardcore gamers and enthusiasts with the familiar Intel H-series and Nvidia GTX GPUs. The Intel-AMD processors will instead be used for Dell's mainstream families like the XPS line to provide GTX 1050-level graphics.

24.04.2018  Dell Latitude 5491/5591 coming with Coffee Lake-H and GeForce MX130 options
The 5491 and 5591 will target power users who need more performance than what Intel's U-Series of CPUs can offer. Both models will cram in 45 W Coffee Lake-H processors into a chassis design originally meant for 15 W Kaby Lake-R CPUs. The 5491 now also gains the TrackPoint nub that the 5490 omits, but nearly everything else remains the same.

24.04.2018  Where are all the Kaby Lake-G laptops? Nvidia's GeForce Partner Program may be to blame
It's been almost five months since the official reveal of Kaby Lake-G and there is only one manufacturer other than Intel currently shipping a Kaby Lake-G product. We put the pieces together to find out why there are so few of these systems in the market and why most manufacturers are staying silent on the matter.

23.04.2018  The slowest XPS 15 9575 is almost as fast as the fastest XPS 15 9560
Our first Kaby Lake-G laptop to hit our database has returned some decent numbers to give even the Core i7-7700HQ and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 a run for their money. The 65 W Core i5-8305G may be the lowest CPU option available for the Dell convertible, but its performance is on par with an entry-level Pascal gaming notebook while being thinner and more versatile than most.

22.04.2018  Dell XPS 15 9575 (i5-8305G, Vega M GL, FHD) Convertible Review
Instant XPS classic. Dell is betting big on the unproven Kaby Lake-G platform and its MagLev keyboard to carry the new XPS 15 2-in-1 forward. The end result feels like the XPS we know and love while being thinner, quieter, cooler, and nearly as powerful as the standard XPS 15 that it derives from.

21.04.2018  Chuwi will upgrade its HiGame mini PC with an even faster Core i7-8709G option
The upcoming Chuwi system would only be the second mini PC to carry the 100 W Intel-AMD Core i7-8709G CPU after the Intel Hades Canyon NUC. While the manufacturer is promising lower prices for early supporters and backers of its IndieGogo project, exact launch dates, availability, and prices remain a mystery. The i7-8709G offers a performance level similar to that of a gaming notebook with an i7-7700HQ CPU and GTX 1050 Ti GPU.

17.04.2018  MSI retrofits Vortex G25 PC with Quadro GPUs, calls it the Vortex W25
The Vortex W25 will be one of the smallest and fastest workstation SFF PCs with 16 GB of GDDR5 VRAM. MSI calls it the ideal solution for high-end 3D or VR tasks as the small unit can be VESA mounted behind monitors and be disassembled rapidly without the need for tools for upgrading storage and RAM.

17.04.2018  MSI WE63, WE73, WT75, and WS63 workstations are now even faster with 8th gen Xeon Core CPUs
The news comes just two weeks after the reveal of Coffee Lake-H. All models will utilize the same chassis as their respective G-Series equivalent with new fingerprint readers, vPro options, and SmartCard reader depending on the family. Expect the refreshed W series to begin shipping by the second half of this year.

17.04.2018  Kingston launches UV500 3D NAND SSD in M.2, mSATA, and 2.5-inch form factors
The entry-level consumer TLC series includes 256-bit encryption and Opal 2.0 at affordable starting prices of $60 USD for the 120 GB model. Kingston SSDs are notable for their five-year standard warranty as opposed to two to three years from many other storage manufacturers. The UV500 SSDs will likely find their way into inexpensive or mainstream laptops since they lack NVMe support.

16.04.2018  StarTech launches Thunderbolt 3 to USB Type-C adapters for high-bandwidth applications
Ultrabook owners stuck with USB Type-C now have more options to expand their existing Thunderbolt 3 ports and support a variety of legacy connections including eSATA and USB Type-A. The pricey adapters support daisy-chaining and will work with both PCs and Macs to utilize the most out of a single Thunderbolt 3 port.

16.04.2018  HP and Dell are purportedly backing away from Nvidia's GeForce Partner Program
Nvidia's voluntary-but-shady program that puts financial preferences for its members over non-members has turned away two of the largest OEMs in the world due to what the source claims to be "likely illegal" practices. The chipmaker has yet to provide any direct comments surrounding the details of its GeForce Partner Program.

15.04.2018  Western Digital launches WD Purple MicroSD card for enterprise use
The WD Purple series is designed to withstand more rewrites and at wider temperature ranges than a consumer-grade variant. Applications where constant data access is vital, such as on surveillance systems or servers, can benefit from the increased reliability of the WD Purple MicroSD card. Prices start at just $18 USD for the 32 GB version with a 64 GB version coming next month.

14.04.2018  India interested in more laptops with integrated 4G connectivity
Reliance Jio, the largest cellular network provider in India, is teaming up with Qualcomm for an inexpensive Snapdragon-powered Windows 10 laptop with integrated LTE. No word yet on the exact SoC planned or if the notebook would be based on an existing design from a major manufacturer. The idea is similar in concept to Intel eSIM which has garnered a very slow adoption rate.

13.04.2018  LG Gram 13Z980-A (i5-8250U) Laptop Review
Under a kilogram. The LG Gram 13 lives up to its name by being one of the lightest 13.3-inch Ultrabooks currently available. It's not without some sacrifices, however, as its barebone set of hardware features and fragile lid stand out as key disadvantages.

13.04.2018  Demand for PCs up 1.7 percent in EMEA as of Q1 2018
Sales of desktop PCs and laptops are continuing their downward trend into the new year according to Gartner. While EMEA is seeing a slight uptick, the sharper declines in other regions worldwide paint a more pessimistic picture. This latest quarter marks the fourteenth in a row of slowing PC sales. Note that the data does not include iPads or Android tablets.

13.04.2018  Honor MagicBook laptop set for an official reveal on April 19th
The flagship Huawei MateBook X may soon be accompanied by a mainstream Honor laptop offering. It's possible that Huawei wants to expand its product portfolio in an attempt to keep Xiaomi at bay. Beyond the April 19th announcement date, however, there is no word yet on the specifications of the supposed Honor MagicBook or what regions it will be available in.

11.04.2018  Refreshed HP Pavilion Gaming series launching next month for budget gamers
The Pavilion Power series is now the more aptly-named Pavilion Gaming series to tackle on the newly announced mainstream Dell G gaming series. Currently, SKUs are limited to a single 15.6-inch chassis but with a very wide range of CPU, GPU and display options up to the Core i7-8750H with Optane memory and GTX 1060 Max-Q graphics for $1020 USD.

11.04.2018  Asus updates FX503 to the TUF FX504 with Intel 8th Core CPUs
The inexpensive FX504 gaming notebook comes equipped with a Coffee Lake-H CPU and GTX 1050 GPU for a starting price of only $700 USD. The system is intended to complement the recently revealed mainstream Zephyrus GM501 and enthusiast ROG G703 that are also shipping with Intel 8th gen Core ix CPUs.

10.04.2018  AMD Radeon RX Vega M is a Vega GPU without some common Vega features
The GPU maker is locking certain functions on the Vega M platform that are otherwise commonly found on all other Vega GPUs including DirectX 12.1 support. In fact, the feature set of Vega M has more in common with the previous-generation Polaris platform rather than the current Vega family.

06.04.2018  Acer Swift 1 updated with 'Gemini Lake' Pentium Silver N5000 SoC
The Taiwanese manufacturer is promising a battery life of up to 17 hours with the new Swift 1 SF114-32. Its starting price in Europe is at 450 Euros to be competitive against other budget offerings shipping with Celeron CPUs. The model is yet to be available in North America where the latest SKU is carrying only the Pentium N4200.

04.04.2018  Over one-quarter of all tablets shipped are Apple iPads
Analysts are skeptical that the new 2018 9.7-inch iPad with A10 Fusion SoC will be as successful as the last generation iPads. Apple is predicted to lose 0.8 percent of the tablet market YoY while Amazon and Huawei can gain as much as 0.7 percent and 1 percent, respectively. Even so, Apple will still lead its closest competitor Samsung by almost 2x in market share.

04.04.2018  Eurocom Q5 is now the Q6, gets hexa-core Core i7-8750H option
The 15.6-inch notebook comes standard with the i7-8750H CPU, GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU, and 16 GB of DDR4-2400 RAM for $1800 USD or about $200 more than the last generation Q5. Slight superficial changes have been made to the chassis design and there are new display and faster DDR4 options as well, but the Q6 is still the Q5 at heart.

03.04.2018  Samsung Notebook Odyssey Z brings vapor chamber cooling to a 17.9 mm thick design
Samsung's lesser-known Odyssey gaming series is getting an overhaul. The completely new design is aiming at the thin-and-light market with its unique outer lid, keyboard design, and vapor chamber cooler to stand out from the crowd. The system will be available later this month in South Korea.

03.04.2018  Here is a list of every laptop we know announced with Coffee Lake-H
It's a big day for Intel with new laptops coming in from every direction seemingly all at once. We've compiled a list of everything announced to keep track of it all and we expect more to be come throughout the rest of the month. Here is the first wave of Coffee Lake-H notebooks.

03.04.2018  The Asus Zephyrus is back — with a totally normal keyboard
Asus is expanding its Zephyrus family with a new member equipped with the latest Intel Coffee Lake-H Core i7-8750H CPU. The processor upgrade is not surprising, but the fact that the updated design is backtracking on some defining characteristics of the original Zephyrus is unexpected. It also introduces manual graphics switching for the first time in the family.

03.04.2018  Asus ROG G703 refreshed with unlocked Coffee Lake-H Core i9-8950HK CPU
The Intel Core i9 for mobile has arrived and it brings native Optane support to gaming laptops for the first time. Asus has internally refreshed its powerful 17.3-inch gaming notebook to take advantage of the faster Turbo Boost, faster DDR4-2666 RAM, and Optane memory options. The chassis and core hardware features remain identical.

03.04.2018  The MSI GS65 is finally bringing narrow bezels to notebook gamers
The bezels of the brand-new design are just 4.9 mm thick on three sides for a high 82 percent screen-to-body ratio. MSI is promising the thinnest bezels ever on a 15.6-inch gaming notebook for a final chassis size close to that of a 14-inch notebook. Of course, 8th gen Core i7 options will come standard.

03.04.2018  Gigabyte Aero 15 refresh will include the 8th gen Core i7-8750H CPU and 144 Hz/7 ms IPS panels
All the new updates on the second generation model will be the 144 Hz/7 ms and 4K UHD Pantone-certified display options, USB 3.1 Type-A instead of USB 3.0, a faster UHS-II SD reader for up to 300 MB/s, a slightly thinner 1.8 cm profile, Dolby Atmos audio software, ambient light sensor, a sleeker "AERO" logo, and finally a hexa-core Core i7-8750H to top it all off.

03.04.2018  Our first Core i7-8750H benchmarks are in and it's 50 percent faster than the Core i7-7700HQ
The Core i7-8750H offers the biggest leap in performance that the 45 W HQ-Series has seen in years. Its CineBench R15 Multi-Thread score of 1168 points is just 15 percent slower than a stock Core i7-8700K. Actual performance, however, will be highly dependent on the overarching cooling solution as we are able to record a score as low as 966 points on a pre-production MSI GS65 sample.

03.04.2018  Aorus X5 v8, x7 DT v8, and x9 DT v8 refreshed with 8th gen Core i7 and Core i9
The Aorus X9 in particular will receive the unlocked Core i9-8950H CPU, GTX 1080 GPU, and 144 Hz IPS display option with G-Sync for $3900 USD. Gone is the dual GTX 1070 SLI option in favor of a redesigned cooling solution fit for a single GPU. The 13.9-inch Aorus x3 will be the only one left out of 8th gen Coffee Lake-H bandwagon.

03.04.2018  Valve Steam Machine runs out of steam, no longer on Steam Store menu
One of Steam Machine's most attractive features at the time was the ability to allow PC gamers to play games in the living room. As time went on, Valve and Nvidia slowly began incorporating this same feature onto existing PCs. The demand for a dedicated Steam Machine PC quickly dropped and its high price of entry deterred even the most fervent of gamers.

01.04.2018  Faux-K: Make Sure Your Next 4K Laptop is Actually 4K
Why you should avoid RGBW. The word "4K" has quickly become a marketing blurb for most new laptops. While the concept is relatively straightforward, how manufacturers achieve native 4K resolution can be dubious. We highly recommend the standard RGB approach over RGBW for a number of reasons.

01.04.2018  Intel Gameplay now shows what games will work on Kaby Lake-G PCs
Intel takes the guesswork out of game compatibility by testing the most popular games throughout the Core ix series themselves. The most recent additions are the Core i7-8809G and Core i7-8705G with suggested graphical settings on current titles for what Intel deems would be an optimal gaming experience.

01.04.2018  Polish retailer leaks Acer Predator Helios 500 with Intel Core i9, promptly pulls down listing
If the unconfirmed prices are accurate, then we can expect the Core i7-8750H and Core i9-8950HK SKUs to retail for approximately $2600 USD and $3500 USD, respectively, with an uncommon 144 Hz IPS 1080p display. The Helios 500 looks to be a completely new design compared to the existing Helios 300 with even larger rear ventilation grilles.

31.03.2018  Huawei fights back with an even steeper discount on the Mate 10 Pro in the US
It's only been one week since Huawei's last promotion on the Mate 10 Pro and now the manufacturer is bringing it back but with a deeper $150 discount. The news follows on the footsteps of Best Buy's plan to drop all Huawei devices because of U.S. Intelligence intervention.

29.03.2018  Intel Hades Canyon NUC8i7HVK (i7-8809G, Radeon RX Vega M GH) Mini PC Review
Fast as Hell. Hades himself would own one of these if he wanted a mini PC for gaming. The unlocked NUC rivals a GTX 1060 laptop in raw graphics horsepower while having the CPU performance of a stock Core i7-7700K - all in an integrated chipset under a vapor chamber cooler.

26.03.2018  HP Spectre x360 15 with Core i7-8705G now available for pre-order in the UK
The Intel-AMD technology promises to be as fast as a GTX 1050 or GTX 1050 Ti all in a single 65 W processor package. The suggested starting price for just the 8 GB SKU, however, is going to burn a hole through most wallets. HP has yet to announce any plans for a SKU utilizing the even more powerful i7-8809G CPU.

25.03.2018  Huawei spotted shamelessly advertising in front of an Apple store
Huawei deployed tall trucks conveniently parked in front of Apple and Samsung stores to inform users about the P20 reveal on 3/27. While the campaign is a borderline marketing stunt designed to draw attention and awareness, the spectacle is amusing nonetheless. The P20 will supposedly have some of the best cameras in the market.

24.03.2018  LG betting on MicroLED technology for future smartphones
Samsung, Apple, and now LG will be ramping up R&D on the potential applications and commercialization of MicroLED panels for portable devices. The technology may eventually spill over to laptops since its advantages over LCD and even OLED are numerous. LG is remaining tight-lipped on when we can expect to see the first smartphone utilizing MicroLED.

24.03.2018  Asus ZenBook UX430UN (i7-8550U, GeForce MX150) Laptop Review
Portable multimedia machine. The UX430UN offers a bigger screen and faster GPU than the XPS 13 for hundreds less than the XPS 15. Its chassis and keyboard are unfortunately weaker than expected and feel cheaper to the touch.

21.03.2018  Surface Pro owners growing irate over annoying Surface Pen bug
Holding the Surface Pro with one hand while drawing with a Surface Pen on the other is apparently enough to "break" the tablet. A small but annoying bug reduces the accuracy of the Surface Pen if the user is touching the screen at two or more spots simultaneously. Microsoft is offering no time table for when users can expect a fix.

19.03.2018  Nvidia has been sneaking in slower GeForce MX150 '1D12' variant onto some Ultrabooks
[March 28, 2018 update] Be on the lookout for notebooks shipping with the MX150 'N17S-LG-A1' or '1D12' variant as GPU performance can be 20 to 25 percent slower than a "standard" MX150. The '1D12' label is essentially the Max-Q version of the MX150 and Nvidia has not been explicitly distinguishing between the two distinct MX150 versions in any of its promotional material thus far.

19.03.2018  Huawei slashes $100 off the Mate 10 Pro to combat the Galaxy S9
The Mate 10 Pro will be cheaper than the Galaxy S9 for a limited time in North America. Huawei intends to have smartphone options available across all price ranges from the budget $200 Honor 7X, mainstream $500 Honor View10, and flagship $700 Mate 10 Pro.

17.03.2018  Durabook launches fully-rugged U11 tablet for professional users
The fan-less 11.6-inch Windows tablet is guaranteed to survive through shock, vibration, rain, dust, sand, temperatures as high as 140 F (60 C), and a drop of up to 6 feet without a sweat. The rugged and fully closed system competes directly with the Dell Latitude Rugged series also designed for extreme conditions.

15.03.2018  Refurbished smartphones are now selling almost five times faster than the year before
Users are now purchasing refurbished smartphones more than ever due in part to slowing innovation and marginal design changes on the latest models. The hardest hit are mid-range smartphones as used high-end models from Apple or Samsung can be had for about the same price. Why purchase a brand new flagship when last year's model is very nearly the same for hundreds less?

14.03.2018  Rumored entry-level 13-inch MacBook may carry a Retina display
Apple may finally be ditching its aging low resolution 13.3-inch 1440 x 900 pixel panels for a more up-to-date 2560 x 1600 variant manufactured by LG. The next generation 2018 MacBook Air is expected to be the first to carry these new Retina displays when it ships later this year.

13.03.2018  Samsung Notebook 9 NP900X5T (i7-8550U, GeForce MX150) Laptop Review
Periodic throttling. The Notebook 9 NP900X5T would have been a powerhouse of an Ultrabook if it weren't for its intolerable throttling when gaming.

12.03.2018  Honor View10 launching for $499 USD with the same processor as the Mate 10 Pro
The value proposition for the 6-inch FullView Android will be one of the best when it launches late next week with pre-orders already open through major online retailers. It will be the most powerful smartphone in the Honor family by far, but also the priciest at over twice the MSRP of the popular Honor 7X.

09.03.2018  Retailer lists HP Spectre x360 15 with Core i7-8705G shipping this month for 2100 Euros
The HP convertible could be one of the very first notebooks shipping with Kaby Lake-G as early as March 26. The Core i7-8705G is expected to be significantly faster than any Intel iGPU solution thus far and rival the discrete GeForce GTX 1050 in gaming performance. The suggested launch price of 2100 Euros, however, could be tough to swallow even for the highly anticipated Intel-AMD platform.

25.02.2018  The new 2018 Huawei MateBook X Pro is hiding a James Bond-style pop-up webcam
The 13.9-inch MateBook X Pro fixes a lot that went wrong with the original MateBook X while offering the narrowest bezels in the laptop market.

22.02.2018  The Top 10 Bestselling Laptops from Computer Upgrade King
We examine the top 10 laptops users are actually buying to see how they may differ from what we believe are the best and most recommendable.

22.02.2018  Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7577 (i7-7700HQ, GTX 1060 Max-Q, 4K UHD) Laptop Review
4K overkill. We check out the popular 15.6-inch mainstream gaming notebook from Dell for a third time in yet another configuration. As impressive as the GTX 1060 Max-Q may be, it just isn't the best GPU for 4K gaming.

11.02.2018  Eurocom Sky X4C (i7-8700K, GTX 1080, Clevo P751TM1-G) Laptop Review
Desktop in disguise. Our latest Eurocom system returns the highest PCMark 10 score in our database at 6620 points. Its removable GTX 1080 GPU and LGA 1151 Coffee Lake CPU give the system longer legs than most gaming notebooks.

09.02.2018  Last year's Vaio S13 is finally coming to North America this month for $1200 USD
The notebook will be priced competitively against the latest XPS 13, Spectre 13, and Yoga series of thin-and-light ultraportables.

06.02.2018  Our first Ryzen 5 1600 laptop is 50 percent faster than the common Core i7-7700HQ
The Ryzen 5 CPU is already available on desktops, but its implementation onto notebooks appears to have no major performance deficits.

05.02.2018  The Top 10 Bestselling Gaming Laptops from iBuyPower
As mouth-watering as those flagship $2000+ gaming laptops may be, they infrequently sell anywhere near the volume as more affordable budget and mainstream alternatives. We compare and contrast the top gaming notebooks that users are much more likely to purchase.

02.02.2018  Dell XPS 13 9370 (i5-8250U, 4K UHD) Laptop Review
To InfinityEdge and beyond. Dell dauntlessly doubles down on its InfinityEdge design and the race for an even thinner Ultrabook. The end result is a noticeably smaller and more visually attractive offering that doesn’t do much else significantly better or worse than the last generation XPS 13.

01.02.2018  UFS 3.0 specification now finalized for the next generation of smartphones and automobiles
A car with 256 GB of storage? The new UFS standard incorporates a couple of features designed specifically for implementation onto cars.

31.01.2018  The XPS 13 9370 has some of the slowest display response times for an Ultrabook
The high contrast, high brightness, thin bezels, deep colors, and photogenic design lead to one major flaw no one talks about.

25.01.2018  XPS 13 9370 proves that Dell’s Dynamic Power Policy actually works
The technology seems to be paying off with higher sustainable clock rates and measurably faster performance over a span of time.

24.01.2018  HP still king in EMEA market while Asus blunders
The Holiday shopping season proved to be disastrous for Asus as the manufacturer struggles to compete in both the desktop and laptop markets.

22.01.2018  LG Gram 15 (i5-8250U, FHD) Laptop Review
Half the weight of the XPS 15. How light can a 15-inch notebook get? The LG Gram 15 dares to be the lightest in the world at just over 1 kg, but the system is not without some missing bells and whistles commonly found on most other Ultrabooks.

22.01.2018  No Coffee Lake-H means no new gaming laptop designs
Where have all the new gaming notebooks gone? We asked as many major manufacturers as we could and everyone gave the same response.

20.01.2018  Eurocom will take your old Alienware or MSI notebook for 25 percent off your next purchase
That old Alienware laptop with GeForce GT 555M graphics buried in the closet could help cut $1000 USD or more off the purchase of your next Eurocom system.

19.01.2018  Second Razer smartphone rumored for a September 2018 reveal
The new Razer Phone will likely be compatible with a consumer-ready Project Linda docking station should the manufacturer decide to move forward with the experimental product.

12.01.2018  The GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q series is Nvidia's answer to Kaby Lake-G
The Lenovo Ideapad 720S will be one of the first notebooks shipping with the GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.

09.01.2018  The Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 is real — and it sure runs hot
[Update: The preliminary temperature measurements are of an early unit unrepresentative of the retail model.] Thinner, lighter, and more powerful than the XPS 15 9560, the XPS 15 2-in-1 features a 65 W Kaby Lake-G processor and new Mag-Lev keyboard. Something has to give, however, and we believe it will be in warmer temperatures.

09.01.2018  Dell Latitude 7490 coming with Active Steering WiFi and "Super Low Power Display"
The 12.5-inch Latitude 7290, 13.3-inch Latitude 7390, and 14-inch Latitude 7490 range will all get Kaby Lake-R and a few other internal changes.

09.01.2018  Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon coming with HDR and Kaby Lake-R options

09.01.2018  Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga refresh shipping this month for $1900 USD
Bright HDR-enabled panels may become a trend on flagship notebooks this year if the ThinkPad X1 series are of any indication.

08.01.2018  The HP Spectre x360 15 2018 is here with both Kaby Lake-R and Kaby Lake-G SKUs

08.01.2018  Intel NUC Hades Canyon crams in a 100 W Kaby Lake-G CPU in a 1.2 liter chassis
The Radeon RX Vega M GH will be on par with the GTX 1060 Max-Q in a chassis that's a fraction of the size of a laptop. Its 230 W power supply and 100 W CPU, however, have our heads scratching about heat dissipation and fan noise in such a small design.

07.01.2018  AMD Ryzen and Polaris will power the Acer Nitro 5 for just $800 USD
Strangely enough, the notebook will be sticking with the older Polaris architecture instead of utilizing AMD's newer and more efficient integrated Vega solutions.

06.01.2018  Acer Swift 7 (SF714-51T) is less than 9 mm thick with an integrated LTE modem
The $1700 USD Swift 7 will be one of the first traditional notebooks with eSIM compatibility and integrated LTE. Its razor-thin profile, however, carries some compromises including its passively cooled 7th gen Core i7 CPU, lack of Thunderbolt 3, and no native resolution panels above 1080p.

06.01.2018  Honor 7X Smartphone Review
6-inch 18:9 Android for $199. Honor has taken a page out of the current crop of flagship smartphones to deliver one of the most compelling Android smartphones yet for under $200 USD. Update: GPS and camera tests added

06.01.2018  HP Chromebook 11 G6 and Chromebook 14 G5 coming with MIL-STD-certified designs and USB Type-C charging
The rugged redesign should help these education-centric Chromebooks survive the chaos and destruction that is the K-12 grade school classroom.

06.01.2018  Intel purportedly knew of architecture vulnerabilities months ahead of Coffee Lake launch
The PR blunders will likely haunt Intel for the rest of the year as fans ponder if the chipmaker could have delayed Coffee Lake even further to address the critical concerns at the silicon level.

04.01.2018  The Dell XPS 13 9370 is the full refresh we've been waiting for
More than just a thinner facade, the next generation XPS 13 offers a host of new hardware features from top to bottom for a starting price of under $1000 USD.

03.01.2018  LG may be supplying Apple with 6.5-inch OLED panels for H2 2018

29.12.2017  Eurocom Sky X9C (i7-8700K, GTX 1080 SLI, Clevo P870TM1-G) Laptop Review
12 pounds of pure power. We end the year with the most powerful consumer gaming notebook currently available. Its Core i7-8700K CPU, GTX 1080 SLI GPUs, 4K UHD screen, 1 TB NVMe RAID 0 storage, and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM are astronomical specifications regardless of form factor.

29.12.2017  Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 included in supposedly leaked list of anticipated CES reveals

21.12.2017  HP EliteBook x360 1020 G2 (i7-7600U, FHD Sure View) Convertible Review
Spectre Elite. The EliteBook 1020 G2 is a great example of the merging between sleek consumer designs and feature-heavy business configurations. It's inarguably faster and thinner than the 1020 G1, but not without some cutbacks that longtime EliteBook owners may lament.

17.12.2017  Huawei MediaPad M3 successor could be coming soon
The SHT-W09 model name designation for the supposed MediaPad M5 is very similar to the BTV-W09 model name for the current MediaPad M3.

IT certification site DMTF and Dell itself may have both independently confirmed the existence of the unannounced Latitude 7490. Could a soft refresh be on the way for CES 2018?

14.12.2017  Get ready for higher PC prices should Intel recede on its "Intel Inside" marketing program
OEMs are at risk of losing valuable Intel sponsorship benefits such as marketing exposure, price subsidies, and channel compensations should the Intel Inside program be defunded.

13.12.2017  The new HP EliteBook 1020 G2 and 1040 G4 are the brightest business laptops available

11.12.2017  Zotac launches gaming MEK1 mini PC with GTX 1070 Ti graphics

01.12.2017  HP Envy x360 15 (Ryzen 5 2500U, Radeon Vega 8) Laptop Review
A very rough gem. The performance-per-Dollar is easily the highlight of HP's first notebook centered around AMD's Raven Ridge platform. It's too bad that the software is still a buggy mess.

30.11.2017  PC market expected to drop 2.7 percent by year's end
Laptops will rise to make up over 40 percent of the PC market in the next five years at the expense of desktops and traditional slate tablets.

25.11.2017  Our first Ryzen 5 2500U benchmarks are in and Intel has every reason to worry
