The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx processor has recently been spotted on Geekbench as part of a system recorded as “Qualcomm CLS”. The California-based chip designer had already compared the Snapdragon 8cx’s performance with Intel’s Core i5-8250U and this latest benchmark reveal seems to show that the former can keep up with the latter.

Lenovo has upgraded its ThinkPad L series to new Intel Whiskey Lake processors, but it is not all rosy. Our ThinkPad L490 review unit is somehow slower than its predecessor despite having a nominally more powerful CPU. Has Lenovo sweetened the deal with any other reasons to upgrade, or should you give the ThinkPad L490 a miss?

Thanks to a full-magnesium chassis, the Mag-15 gaming laptop developed by Intel in collaboration with Eluktronics is the lightest and thinnest on the market right now. It also comes with one of the largest 94 Whr batteries and the cooling system ensures the best thermal performance to date. Powered by the i7-9750H CPU, the Mag-15 also integrates up to 64 GB of DDR4-2666 RAM, up to 2 TB NVMe SSD storage and up to an RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU, all for considerably lower prices compared to established brands.

The new Asus Chromebook C425 quietly made its way to retailers like Amazon. Unlike the C434 model that comes with a 360-degree touchscreen, the C425 offers only a 180-degree FHD display, but it does retain all the other hardware specs, including the Intel Core m3-8100Y CPU with integrated HD Graphics 615 GPU, 8 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 64 GB eMMC storage.

News about laptops powered by Intel 10th gen Ice Lake processors has been far and few in between save for the Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. We list some of the Ice Lake-powered laptops we expect to see this year and some of these could get grace the stage during IFA 2019.

Dell has quietly posted an update on its support website for the XPS 15 9570 titled "Modern Standby Performance Improvement Package Application".

AUO's improved folding AMOLED screens come with increased durability and smaller folding radius, while the laptop OLED display sporting 4K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rates are advertised to be among the first to use the ink jet printing production technique that enables lower manufacturing costs and increased yields.

The Blade Stealth is the fastest laptop we've tested with GeForce MX150 graphics and now it costs about the same as most other Ultrabooks with no dedicated graphics at all. If you're in the market for an Ultrabook with more graphical oomph, then it may be worth considering the Razer.

RGB lighting is great and all, but it's not very useful if it doesn't light up each and every key symbol. There's no reason why secondary fn key symbols on flagship Gigabyte laptops should be unlit even after two years in the market.

TSMC claims that the GlobalFoundries allegations are baseless and it will do everything in its power to protect its IPs and technologies. The Taiwanese foundries currently hold a portfolio of 37,000 patents and expressed disappointment towards the monopolistic insinuations.

Some consumers may have found that having a 4K display does not always result in pin-sharp content. This is because 1080p image data is not always scaled effectively to match the more up-to-date resolution. NVIDIA has addressed this by introducing integer scaling in its latest Game Ready Drivers update.

The most notable infringements are related to the use of FinFET structures in 28 nm, 16 nm, 12 nm, 10 nm and 7 nm chips. Many products powered by TSMC's chips including, iPhones, GeForce GPUs, Lenovo and Asus laptops, handhelds from Google and Motorola, plus networking equipment from Broadcom and Cisco could end up being banned from the U.S. and Germany.

Some of Lenovo's most popular ThinkPad laptops, the X1 Carbon, X1 Yoga, T490, and X390, have been updated with Intel's 10th generation Comet Lake CPUs. The L13 and L13 Yoga have also been given a thinner, lighter design makeover.

The flashy and eye-catching dual-screen laptop doubles down on the ScreenPad concept for both creators, multimedia users, and gamers alike. With so much hardware and displays to power, however, don't expect battery life to be so kind to travelers.

Redmi launched its first ever laptop, a 14-inch ultrabook, not long ago. Now, it is destined for the launch stage again, in the form of a new variant with an updated Intel chipset. The brand has not specified which one it will be, save that it is to be a Core i7 from the new 10 series.

The white ZenBook 13 will sport a special Star Trek-like rose gold logo on its outer lid for a price of $1399 USD to be the most luxurious ZenBook model Asus has ever released.

Password Leak Detection is an experimental feature in Chrome 78. It checks a given password against public databases of data breaches, in case of its use in a known security incident. Should this test prove positive, Chrome then offers a pop-up advising the user to change the password for the site or service in question.

The budget-midrange professional laptop will begin shipping on September 10 with 5.7 mm thin bezels, 80 percent screen-to-body ratio, and Intel's latest Comet Lake-U CPU. Initial SKUs will not carry Core i7 options.

Usually reserved for 15-inch models and up, MSI now offers 4K display options for the 14-inch Prestige models, as well, plus all screens are factory-calibrated. Users can also opt to equip the laptops with quad-core or six-core Comet Lake-U CPUs, while the graphics processing is ensured by Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPUs.

The convertible laptops will be one of the first to carry the Core i5-10210U and Core i7-10510U CPU. USB Type-C Power Delivery and Thunderbolt 3 will come standard on SKUs powered by Intel 10th gen processors.

The Comet Lake Inspiron 5000 series will perform very similarly to the pricier Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 series but without the convertible 360-degree hinges. Oddly enough, USB Type-C will only be available on SKUs with dedicated GeForce MX230 or MX250 graphics.

Dell has been slowly leaving behind its last generation XPS 9380 and XPS 9570 series by renaming its successors the XPS 7390 and XPS 7590 instead, respectively. The change may seem confusing at first glance, but it makes sense when looking at Dell's mobile lineup as a whole.

Want Intel's latest mobile CPU without breaking the bank? The entry-level Inspiron 3000 series will be refreshed with the same quad-core Intel 10th gen processor options as the upcoming XPS 13 7390. SKUs will launch this week in EMEA with a North American launch to follow in early September.
