Ultrabook

Tecno asserts that consumers will be able to "See Bigger" and "Sound Louder" on their laptop for less with the latest addition to the MegaBook series. The K16S is powered by the Ryzen 5 7430U, and is touted to have ultrabook portability with an all-metal chassis. It is rated to handle generative AI tasks powered by Windows and OneLeap for wireless links to other Tecno devices.

UGREEN has graced its Revodok line of accessories with its first-ever Thunderbolt 5-capable product during its latest trade showcase. The new Docking Station has a form-factor best suited to the desktop, and features a range of additional I/O options that includes Ethernet, DisplayPort and full-sized SD cards. Its main feature is also rated for a Bandwidth Boost mode for what might be even faster data transfers.

Sharge has now announced pricing and availability for its new Disk Plus, touted to debut as the "world's thinnest" external SSD. It is rated for up to 10 gigabit per second (Gb/s) data transfers and for pass-through USB-C charging. The Disk Plus is compatible with multiple types of M.2 SSDs of up to 4TB in capacity.

Sharge has announced that the Shargeek 140's second colorway is now available on the international market. It has the same 20,000mAh rated capacity and up-to-100W USB-C port as before, but is the only version of the accessory to be finished in white. Its internals and inbuilt Smart Display are also still visible through a clear window.

The Energy Star certification offers some details on the CPU, including core count and RAM, plus some power efficiency specs. This model is expected to launch sometime in September.

The Sharge Storm2 Slim, also known as the Shargeek 130, is officially being discontinued. The quintessential transparent 20,000mAh power bank is going out with a bang, however, with a final sale cutting its price to a "historical" low. It comes with up-to-100W USB-C port still powerful enough to charge most ultrabooks at extra-fast speeds.

Sharge touts its next-gen Disk Plus as the thinnest SSD enclosure about to go on a crowdfunding campaign to date. It is also designed to go anywhere else thanks to the ability to stay on to the back of the user's iPhone, laptop or handheld console in a MagSafe-style manner. It connects via USB-C and is compatible with multiple NVMe form-factors.

The next addition to the Infinix INBook series of laptops are to take overt aim at machines such as the MacBook Air, based on its name and alleged lightweight nature alone. It is tipped to have 2 premium variants and to have an on-trend display type powered by Raptor Lake silicon from Intel.

Topton offers RAM options between 8 - 32 GB DDR4 and storage options between 256 GB and 2 TB. This model is equipped with an Intel i3-1215U processor as well as two 10.96-inch IPS touchscreens with 1920 x 1200 resolution each.

Volta asserts that its latest accessory is Kickstarter's first 6-in-1 charging cable with the up-to-date 240W power delivery spec. The Max is rated to be used with some USB type-A devices as well as those with Lightning, USB-C and microUSB ports. It has now exceeded its crowdfunding goal by over 2000% with 29 days to go.

Chargeasap claims to have made the first 100W charging cable that can "charge anything" and has its own in-built status LED in the Connect Pro. It is compatible with microUSB or Lightning ports as well as USB-C due to its swappable magnetic connector system, backed to make charging safer and more convenient. The Connect Pro is also backed to charge either a MacBook Pro or an iPhone at their respective top speeds.

The Shargeek 140 is the latest in Sharge's line of power banks uniquely styled to put their internal components on show. The crowdfunding darling is now available as a retail unit, with the same high-capacity batteries and 100W USB-C port. It can be ordered for less than $90 in conjunction with the brand's Summer Sale right now.

Sharge is a well-known name in portable charging; now, it has broken into power solutions for the home and/or office with its latest product. It packs two full (US-style) AC sockets as well as two of the brand's 100W USB-C ports, with a type-A port as a back-up. Sharge touts it as a sleek new way to clear your desk-space of cables and clutter.

JSAUX has announced a Lite version of its innovative, foldable portable monitor. It is now the most affordable variant of its line-up, and is also the first version of the FlipGo in which its dual screens are 15.6 inches in diagonal length. Then again, there are some compromises relative to its higher-end Pro siblings.

Even though the new EVO models do away with the Nvidia dGPU options, XMG is compensating with a solid premium spec package that includes overboost TDPs thanks to high-quality cooling systems, support for 96 GB RAM, Thunderbolt / USB4 connectors with DisplayPort 2.1 mode and a full-size SD card reader.

One of soccer's best-known clubs has confirmed that it will have something in common with the silicon found in millions of mobile devices worldwide. They are both branded with Qualcomm's Snapdragon logo, which will take pride of place on Manchester United Football Club's (MUFC's) official home shirts during its 2024/5 campaigns.

Huawei touts the latest version of its MateBook X Pro as the ultimate ultrabook as it weighs just 34.6 ounces (or 980 grams (g)) - however, it is about to be dethroned by an upcoming, possibly very similarly-named, rival from Honor. The allegedly outed addition to the MagicBook line might also debut as an "AI PC" and come packed with "exclusive" tech.

Chargeasap asserts that the latest version of its Zeus power brick can charge 2 140W USB-C devices at once while using the least desk-space possible thanks to a quad gallium nitride (GaN) chip system. The accessory is also rated for high-speed USB type-A charging, all tracked using its potentially high-res, easily-readable in-built display.

Sharge's latest sale might make some tech enthusiasts' dreams come true by offering the chance to grab on-trend charging accessories such as its high-speed, sci-fi style Shargeek 170 and the RGB-enabled ICEMAG wireless power bank at the same time with a saving of $70 off the bundle's original RRP. Other gadgets are also available at up to 41% during the event.

Huawei is bringing its first-ever flexible OLED display ultrabook to a new region today (June 5, 2024). Its pricing and availability for the European market has been revealed alongside that of the (also OLED and Intel Core Ultra-powered) Matebook 14, as well as introductory deals and offers that include a free tablet in some cases.

'AI' laptops, desktops and convertibles seem poised to take over the PC world already. According to new research, however, they are not likely to do so quite yet, with their percentage of the market projected to be in the single digits for 2024. Then again, they may also have the potential to be the thing that finally restores demand in the end.

Cristiano Amon has formally introduced the Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chipsets during the company's "PC Reborn" Computex 2024 keynote speech. The series features a custom NPU touted to deliver the potential of their signature Microsoft Copilot+ "experiences".

The new ThinkBook 13x G4 is a high-quality and compact 13-inch notebook with an Intel Core Ultra processor and a high-resolution 2.8K IPS panel with 120 Hz. The device is impressive in almost every respect, but the keyboard mars what is otherwise a very solid device.

UGREEN's latest accessory is categorized as a power bank, albeit with one of such a large rated capacity that it needs its own handle. It also packs potentially camping- or holiday-friendly perks such as a Smart Digital Display, emergency LED lighting and triple USB-C ports that can charge at up to 140 watts - or 100W each even when all three are in use.

Dell is introducing an ARM version of the XPS 13 9340, the XPS 13 9345. The new XPS 13 9345 is powered by the Snapdragon X1 Elite X1E-80-100 (the X1P being China-exclusive) but is pretty much identical to its Meteor Lake cousin in all other aspects including chassis, ports, display, memory, storage, battery, and even the starting price.

Lenovo's ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 is now officially the first laptop to have been torn down by iFixit in search of its LPCAMM2 module. The emerging RAM type is hailed as a more powerful, efficient and sustainable form of memory thanks to its ease of removal from its place relative to a PC's CPU - which also boosts the ability to replace or upgrade it.

Samsung is projected to add a new variant to its latest Galaxy Book4 series of laptops - albeit one with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite processor rather than silicon from Intel. To this end, it has a potentially nostalgic new suffix - however, according to a noted leaker, the question is: why?

AOHI presents its latest accessory as the ideal way to charge a MacBook Pro by up to 56% in 30 minutes on a budget. Its Advanced GaN (or gallium nitride) tech is connected to triple ports, one of which is rated for 140W of power delivery via PD 3.1 USB-C. It might be able to beat other newly-released rivals on price, if not in other ways.

One of the more enticing configurations of the Dell XPS 13 has hit one of its lowest sale prices thus far as the portable 13-inch laptop with 32GB of memory drops below the $900 mark thanks to a generous discount of more than $550.

Last year’s Lenovo Slim Pro 9i 14 with a Raptor Lake Core i7-13705H CPU, an RTX 4050 GPU, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage is now enjoying a respectable 16.7% discount at Best Buy. As a result, the laptop, which has a 4.6 consumer rating at Best Buy and an 90% score in our review, has become a mouth-watering option for folks in need of a portable multimedia champ.

LG has indicated that the time to get ready for its Gaming Week 2024 is now. The event is slated to offer devices such as the latest 45-inch OLED UltraGear monitor or one of the new Intel Core Ultra-powered Gram Pro laptops at new reduced prices. They might drop by up to 20% more, but only if the buyer also buys one of a selection of own-brand accessories at the same time.

The Baseus Spacemate is pitched as a particularly modern desktop I/O hub, equipped as it is with a front-facing LED display indicating which of its 11 ports (Gigabit Ethernet, 3 4K/60Hz monitor links and a 100W USB-C Power Input included) are in use and magnetic base. It also integrates a One-Click Screen-Off Feature for enhanced data-privacy at the press of a button.

At one point Apple was single mindedly pursuing the thinnest devices possible. In that quest for form over function they released one of the worst laptop keyboards in history. These keyboards were notorious for having almost no travel and looking at them funny would seemingly cause them to fail. Thankfully these keyboards are almost relegated to history, but there isn’t much time left to get a free fix if yours is causing problems.

The flat Galaxy Book4 Pro 16 is supposed to be a high-quality all-rounder and the OLED touchscreen offers very good image quality. However, Samsung's RRP of $17449.99 is too high, especially in view of the meager memory configuration and the absurdly limited amount of RAM (16 GB).

Jackery has presented a new, more compact version of its up-to-date Explorer Pro portable power station series. The 880 Pro has a moderate capacity at 880 watt-hours (Wh), yet can deliver up to 2000W of power in a number of ways, dual 100W USB-C ports included. It comes either as a standalone generator or bundled with a double-sided solar panel, which have introductory discounts of up to 23%.

UGREEN's Easter 2024 event kicks off with up to 28% off the brand's adorable Nexode RG-series USB-C power bricks. Alternatively, some even faster-charging accessory and cable sets go for up to 40%. These deals are available direct from the brand, although Amazon does slightly better in one or two cases.

The JSAUX FlipGo is touted as one of the most innovative dual-stacked portable monitors thanks to its one-cable, easy mode-switching design. It is touted as the "ideal companion" for those who work either on the road or in an office with a range of stand options supported out of the box. Now, its crowdfunding campaign is nearly over - but not before accruing seven figures in terms of backing.

Three months after showing off the new ThinkPad X1 models at CES, Lenovo is close to making the high-end Ultrabooks broadly available. The nearing release means Lenovo has finally released the full specs of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1.
