Design “It’s like a painting, see? From far away, it’s OK, but up close, it’s a big old mess.” The 1995 film Clueless popularized the usage of “Monet” as something that gets uglier as you get closer to it. That’s the HP Pavilion x360: a Monet. The outside of our review unit had a beautiful coat of shiny, red paint on its plastic lid (it also comes in silver and purple) with a shiny HP logo....

The x360 EE’s optional video camera, found near the bottom-left corner of the keyboard deck, gives kids a new way to record video for class projects. Once you rotate the lid all the way back to lie flat against the bottom of the base, kids can use that display panel as a viewfinder while they record video.

Huawei has even incorporated some tech from its smartphone division into the MateBook X, in the form of a power button with a built-in fingerprint reader. Frankly, even though the company has a strong phone pedigree, the MateBook X took me by surprise. And if Apple, Dell and others don’t watch out, they might be trying to catch up to Huawei before too long. Design: Huawei has built a better MacBook Logos aside, if you got the MateBook X confused with Apple’s 12-inch MacBook, it wouldn’t be hard to see why....
Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro shares similarities with the recent Huawei Watch GT Runner, including a 1.43-inch AMOLED with a 466 x 466-pixel resolution (Cermaic edition comes with a 1.32-inch AMOLED), TruSeen 5.0+ data monitoring for impressive fitness tracking, and a dual-band five-system GNSS that tracks and maps your usual routes, measures your average stride, recovery heart rate, VO2 Max and plenty more.

There’s a reason the MacBook Air is in such high demand. In our MacBook Air review, we praised the laptop for its sleek aluminum unibody chassis, gorgeous Retina display and great speakers. Add decent battery life to the mix and the MacBook Air is a good choice for students or business users who need an ultraportable solution. Our main complaint with the MacBook Air is that its Y-series processor doesn’t stand up to laptops with U-series chips, like Dell’s XPS 13....
The entry-level Core i5-10300H, a Comet Lake chip with four cores and eight threads, will provide an 11% boost in performance over its predecessors, according to a LaptopMedia report. In the Cinebench R20 benchmark test, the Core i5-10300H scored a 1,924 while the current-gen chip, Intel’s Core i5-9300H, landed at 1,730. That’s a solid, if unremarkable generation-over-generation improvement, although we weren’t expecting anything groundbreaking. After all, if the leak is accurate, then the 10th Gen Core i5-10300H has the same makeup as its 9th Gen equivalent (4-core, 16-thread)....
The first 10nm Intel processors based on the company’s recently revealed Sunny Cove architecture, Ice Lake promises 2x performance, along with support for Thunderbolt 3, Wi-Fi 6 and DL Boost.

The PC industry has been starving for more information about the delayed 10nm chips, and now the wait is over. Intel gave us an even bigger taste of Ice Lake than we were expecting....

Many companies are making privacy a priority by introducing new ways to stop ad tracking tech from taking a user’s information, such as Google’s new FLoC advertising tool, and with every move made, things aren’t looking good for Facebook.

At WWDC 2018, the Cupertino tech giant unveiled UIKit, a new developer tool that will allow some of your favorite iOS apps to make a seamless transition to the Mac. Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi addressed the macOS/iOS merger rumors head on at WWDC, answering the lingering question with a big, firm “No.” According to Federighi, what makes macOS special is that it’s explicitly tailored for desktop, which is why Apple is instead choosing to allow developers to tailor their existing iOS apps for the Mac experience....

It’s not all perfect of course, some critics complained about Apple’s stubborn refusal to move on from the Lightning port, the smaller (but still irritating) notch, the larger camera lenses and the slight increase in overall weight.

That’s a great question. After all, the iPhone 14 Pro may have better specs, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the best phone for you. Bells and whistles are nice, but what’s the point of paying more if you don’t intend on using the sparkly features Apple upcharged you for? On the other hand, depending on who you are and what you do, the iPhone 14 Pro may be a better fit, making the entry-level iPhone 14 a total dud for your lifestyle....
We explored this in our iPhone SE 2022 review. To sum it up, I had my suspicions that the third-generation SE device was all smoke and mirrors, and I was proven correct. Don’t get me wrong — the new SE has many praiseworthy specs. For example, not only does its A15 Bionic chip blow every sub-$500 phone out of the water, but it slaughters every single flagship handset on the market....
The JLab Talk is similar to its sibling, the JLab Talk Pro. The Talk, however, is smaller and chubbier. Like the Pro model, it has a satin black finish with a mix of plastic and metal materials, RGB lighting, and features four polar patterns, two more than the Nano and on par with the Blue Yeti. It looks like the smaller, thicker baby brother of the Talk Pro. While there are similarities to Blue mics, the difference is in price, with the JLab Talk costing $59....
