Samsung smartphones are known for their big, beautiful AMOLED displays, so I was curious when I saw its Windows laptops get similar treatment. The 16-inch display on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360 is one of the sharpest, most responsive laptop displays I’ve pawed at in a while. In the Windows world, you…
Apple’s lightest laptop, the MacBook Air, is back and powered with the tech giant’s swankiest new silicon. The M3 chip that we’ve seen inside of it’s new MacBook Pro is now stuffed inside the Air as well. Gizmodo had a chance to see the new Airs in person, but while the starting $1,099 laptop might look very similar…
Apple released 14 and 16-inch variants of the MacBook Pros touting its newly-released M3 chips. It doesn’t bring a lot of new upgrades and doesn’t make much sense if you’re on an M2-series chip already. However, if you’re one of those Intel or M1 MacBook Pro holdouts, now might be the time for a change.
Probably one of…
There are few things in tech writing that feel as good as booting up a powerful computer. It’s as close as people in my line of work can get to flipping the switch to fire up a two-stage sub-orbital rocket engine.
I’m just going to say it. Black looks good on a MacBook. Silver is nice, and so is white, but the new M3- and M3 Max-powered MacBook Pros have that machined sleekness that feels very Apple. Plus, I can say that in the days since I’ve gotten my grubby little paws on the massive 16-inch MacBook, the anodized material on…
For the last 10 years, Chromebooks have remained just what they are. Chromebooks are Chromebooks. Manufacturers release new models every year with slightly updated specs and Google makes minor additions to the ChromeOS-based platform. But despite that, Chromebooks are still low-end budget laptops for folks who only…
If I get my hands on a $5,000 foldable laptop, I have certain expectations for it. It’s got to have power, speed, and portability. The last thing on my mind is whether or not the thing is easy to open and close. However, this was the case when I first tried to crack open HP’s new Spectre Fold 3-in-1, which pretty much…
If there’s one thing in the gaming laptop space that doesn’t get enough attention, it’s the sub-$1,000 category. It’s all about give and take for a low-price, portable laptop. You want portability, but you need quality performance. You want a bright, beautiful display to show off in-game graphics, but you need a…
The dawn of the “AI PC” is here, and every major PC maker from Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and more is throwing around laptops, claiming this is a true revolution in how we will use our computers. Should you believe the hype? No, not quite, but does AI make our standard laptop design a bit smoother? Yes, though mostly on…
Whoa! Did you feel that? It was an earthquake with an epicenter in northern New Jersey, and it set off a flurry on social media Friday morning. The quake was centered about 20 miles west of North Plainfield and occurred at about 10:23 a.m. ET according to a European seismological center.
The Razer Blade 16, long the north star of gaming laptops emphasizing portability and power, is prettier (and far more expensive) than ever before. This latest laptop refresh also makes it clear that Razer is keen to sit back on its bed of laurels, and that’s not necessarily good news for somebody like me who wants to …
I’m pitting the best gaming laptop against the best productivity laptop and seeing who comes out on top. It’s a real sumo match of the big boys of the laptop world. No, not in bulk, but the highest-end Razer Blade 16 and MacBook Pros with M3 Max bill themselves as top-of-the-line laptops that thread the needle between…
