For a while there, we thought the Moto X line was done. Once Motorola’s flagship phone known for its commitment to stock Android, the Moto X was seemingly replaced by the high-end, modular Moto Z last year. But, after a yearlong hiatus, the Moto X is indeed coming back — just without a lot of the features […]
We’re almost a year on from Microsoft revealing their grand plans for changing reality as you know it. With their Mixed Reality initiative, Microsoft hoped to bring together VR and AR experiences, all while getting rid of the need for the kind of external tracking units that high-end first-gen VR rigs like the Oculus Rift […]
IFA is about to kick off in Berlin this week, and coupled with the introduction of Intel’s latest generation of processors, that means it’s time to gawk at a bunch of shiny new laptops and 2-in-1s! Lenovo is here with refreshes to their Yoga and Miix lines of 2-in-1s, and while all their new devices are […]
The race for holiday toy of the year is on. We’ve already seen at least one promising candidate, but at IFA this week, Lenovo has just shown off what is almost certainly the horse to beat in Star Wars: Jedi Challenges. After all, what other toy is going to give you a lightsaber and a […]
We had a lot of fun with the Moto Z last year, if for no other reason than it tried something radically different. Motorola was seemingly able to get modularity right, creating an ultra-thin phone that could be paired with a number of magnetic back cases called Moto Mods to add the likes of external […]
Last year, Lenovo and Motorola tried to shake things up in the smartphone world by finally popularizing what has often seemed impossible to popularize — modularity. Their Moto Z phones have connectors on the back that pair with Moto Mods — full back cover accessories that run the gamut from battery packs to external cameras to external […]
Lenovo’s Yoga Book was a breath of fresh air last year — an unusual laptop that swapped out the keyboard for a flat slate that could be used to save handwritten notes and drawings to the computer. This year, Lenovo is giving that ultra-lightweight laptop some bright new color options, but we’re not sure if it’s […]
Want to have the full experience of being in a Jedi academy? Well, historically that hasn’t ended well for those students, but you do you. Lenovo and Disney have been working on bringing Jedi education into this galaxy, and they’re almost ready to introduce it to aspiring Padawans. At the D23 fan expo in Anaheim […]
Remember that huge tower PC Lenovo announced a few months ago for potential VR developers? Meet its mini-me. The ThinkStation P320 Tiny isn’t going to handle VR development, but this one-liter desktop PC will save a lot more office space while taking on the day-to-day requirements of the average office with aplomb. Instead of the […]
Last year we had to wait for back to school time, but this year Lenovo is hitting the books early. Today, they’re announcing their refreshed IdeaPad line, their collection of lightweight, premium laptops. No surprises with the hardware upgrades, but if the kids want a laptop with a little personality this year, the new IdeaPads […]
Back at CES, we remarked that the Lenovo Legion Y320 and Y520 were content to be low-to-mid range gaming laptops — they were affordable, but they weren’t the primo stuff. Lenovo’s saved that until today, with the announcement of the Legion Y920. This is a powerhouse of a laptop that makes no pretenses about being lightweight. […]
One of the biggest complaints about Chromebooks is that they run Chrome OS, which doesn’t allow users to install third-party programs. Recently, Google’s gone about fixing that by bringing the hybrid movement to Chromebooks. Some newer Chromebooks have 360-degree hinges and, more importantly, can run Android apps downloaded from Google Play — a feature that will […]
Since last year, Amazon has been running their Prime Exclusive Phones program, which knocks down the price of phones by placing ads on the lock screen. The phones generally range from budget to mid-tier, and the two newest additions are no different — the Alcatel A30 and the Moto G5 Plus were already solid budget options, […]
Over the past couple years, but especially in the last few months, we’ve seen a spate of toys and games created to make basic computer programming concepts fun for kids. Late last year, we saw Minecraft get into the act with a new game included in Code.org’s list of Hour of Code games — short games that […]
This virtual reality thing sounds like it could be big business soon! Super-powerful home VR rigs haven’t quite caught on the way many analysts predicted, but maybe it’s just a Field of Dreams situation. That killer VR game hasn’t been built yet, but millions of buyers might come if it does (and if the price of […]
With Lenovo usually saving the big Yoga news for the fall, their midrange stuff usually comes out earlier in the year. This year, they’re revealing their midrange Yoga 2-in-1s at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where they’re also showing off the low-end Miix 320. But, don’t let the mids and lows discourage you — all of […]
Last year, Lenovo announced the budget TAB3 tablets, making options for business use and family use. They’re back at it with the Tab 4 series, but the company is taking a different tack this year, doubling down on home use. The TAB3 7 and 8 were pitched as family-friendly options at Mobile World Congress 2016, […]
Lenovo just announced its midrange smartphone plans for Motorola at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and if you’re a fan of their Moto G series, take note — Lenovo is switching things up. Like last year, there will be both G and G Plus models, but the difference is much more stark between the two this […]
Have you been holding out to buy a new work laptop? Well, if you’re an engineer, graphic designer, or any other sort of person who really needs all that power that hardware makers love to advertise, Lenovo is giving you something to think about this week. They’re refreshing their P-series ThinkPad mobile workstations with the […]
For all its flaws, there was a lot to like about the Yoga Book, Lenovo’s experimental touch keyboard laptop. The lightweight, extremely thin device doubled as a notepad, with included pen and paper that could be used over that touch keyboard for 1:1 handwriting and drawing on the paper and the display. Pretty cool, but […]
When Microsoft announced the upcoming Windows 10 Creators update last October, they had quite a bit to say about virtual reality. They announced they were partnering with the usual suspects — HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, and Acer — to create affordable home virtual reality headsets implementing technology from their HoloLens headset. Out of those hardware […]
