Design Building on the good looks of the original 11-inch IdeaPad 100S, the 14-inch version is bigger but just as classy. Thanks to its understated navy-blue cover and smooth matte finish, the IdeaPad 100S-14 looks and feels more premium than its price suggests. You don’t often find cool details like a retro dial for a power button in a $200 laptop. It’s too bad that the IdeaPad’s plastic chassis is not as sturdy feeling as the HP Stream 11’s chassis or the Samsung Chromebook 3’s, as there is some flexing around the keyboard and along the bottom cover....

The Intel-equipped ThinkPad X13s come with human-detection sensors, which use Face ID to unlock your display. This way, if someone who’s not you tries to pry into your personal data, the ThinkPad X13 will deny ’em — unless, of course, you have a twin. In this case, you can fall back on the ThinkPad X13’s fingerprint reader instead.

That’s how it felt using the Lenovo Smart Tab M8. There was, of course, the giddiness of playing with a new device. It came in such a beautiful package! The sleek, aluminum and glass design, the included charging dock, the colorful display. And for only $89! Unfortunately, that’s where the wonder ended. The sluggish performance and poor audio quality were but a few nails in the coffin for this budget tablet....

Lenovo’s ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II is available today to the delight of keyboard purists and enterprise users. Before I go any further, the answer is yes: the ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II has a red rubber nub, or pointing stick, wedged between the B, H and G keys. Even if you don’t use the pointing stick (I certainly don’t), the ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II could be a great choice because it has Lenovo’s signature curved keys....

We’ve had a chance to get a brief hands-on with these laptops already, but our full reviews will be coming later in the year, for now, here’s a look at what’s new with the X1 series in 2022.

The only major fault with this laptop is its poor speakers and lofty price. And while the design doesn’t stand out and everything else about the laptop is only decent, the Gram 14 2-in-1 is a practical choice for anyone who wants a 2-in-1 laptop with a large display in a featherweight chassis. For these reasons, the Gram 14 2-in-1 is one of the best 2-in-1 laptops around.

Design You can’t miss the C920 when the black, chunky device is attached to your laptop or monitor. At its widest, the webcam is 3.7 inches. But all that bulkiness houses a 1080p camera flanked on both sides by LEDs and microphones. The camera has an arm that hugs the back of your monitor or the lid of your laptop. The C920 also has a hinge to adjust the arm’s length and a rubber foot to hold the device in place....

Earlier this week, Apple announced the updated models of its prosumer laptops with M2 Pro and M2 Max, and it’s fair to say there’s a lot of questions to ask before making that purchase. What size should you go for? What spec do you need? These are questions that we’ll go in depth on to try and answer. Now, I know it’s posed as a face-off, but it would be pretty daft to do a “which is better,” because spoiler alert: size matters....

The lack of design changes or ports doesn’t come as a surprise, seeing as last year’s MacBook Pro 14 and 16-inch models already delivered a major revamp. These models came with three Thunderbolt 4 slots, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, so we’re now expecting the same for the upcoming 2023 models. The M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are already expected to boost performance, keep the laptop cool, and bring enhanced power efficiency — if the MacBook Air M2 is anything to go by....

Intel recently said it would reclaim its crown and even releasing a set of benchmarks to prove superior performance over Apple’s M1. However, we now have a release of supposed benchmarks of the upcoming M1X CPU listed on CPU Monkey that show some seriously interesting specs and results. Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) reviewMacBook Air with M1 reviewMacBook Air with M1 chip is beastly The first thing you’ll notice is that the M1X supposedly comes with 12 CPU cores and 16GPU cores in contrast to the current M1, which has 8 CPU and 8GPU cores in total....

But the new MacBook Pro also has some tricks up its sleeve. Apple finally listened to its consumer base and made some much-needed changes. First thing’s first: the Butterfly keyboard is officially dead, ushering in an era of comfortable typing via the Magic keyboard. Next, Apple doubled the storage capacity on each configuration. And lastly, the notebook has a 10th Gen processor and ridiculously-fast SSD, making it a formidable opponent....

MacBook Pro M1 deal Apple’s M1-charged MacBook Pro is the ideal notebook for power users thanks to its speed, power, and long battery life. It’s one of the best laptops for photo and video editing.

The now discontinued 12-inch MacBook always seemed like the most likely candidate for Apple’s first foray into ARM-based CPUs and according to a lengthy Reddit post from frequent Apple leaker @choco_bit a resurrection of that device will indeed kick things off (via MacRumors). They had considerably more to say on the matter of the ARM transition including additional specifics about the hardware, so let’s take a look at some of the more interesting claims....

Now these are developer betas, so I have to recommend that you think twice or even thrice before you consider putting these on a device that you depend on for your work, but the installation process itself is simple enough and based on early reports, there aren’t any show-stopping bugs to speak of (via Lifehacker). So if you have a device to spare and really want to play around with some fun new OS features, here’s how to install the betas for macOS 11 and iPadOS 14....
