The Lenovo Yoga 700 series of 2-in-1 tablet-laptop hybrids might not be as fancy as the 900 series machines on the outside, but with solid specs on the inside, they’ve remained pretty decent deals. Lenovo just refreshed the 700 series with the 13″ and 15″ Yoga 730 this week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, […]
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 […]
Earlier this year at Computex in Taipei, we saw a paradigm shift in gaming laptops. Long known for being thick, heavy, and only technically portable, the gaming laptop got a conceptual overhaul thanks to Nvidia’s Max-Q design, which allows hardware makers to stuff performance gaming components into much thinner and lighter shells. We saw Acer […]
Want an affordable laptop that can run Overwatch decently while letting you stream your sick D.Va skills at the same time? That’s the promise of Ryzen Mobile, the laptop-friendly version of AMD’s new high-end processors. We’ll soon find out if they can keep that promise — the first Ryzen Mobile laptops are coming later this year. The […]
“Surface Pro competitor” gets bandied about a lot, but it’s not always warranted. A lot of the 2-in-1 detachable devices we see end up being a little less powerful than what Microsoft makes, leaving the more expensive Surface Pro alone at the top. There are some exceptions like the Lenovo Miix 720 that can stand up […]
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 […]
The biggest Microsoft announcements at yesterday’s press event were the upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update and the Surface Studio AIO, but the company also had news about their high-end 2-in-1 notebook, the Surface Book. Announced last October, the 13.5″ Surface Book was positioned as a MacBook Pro competitor, with a large high-resolution display that could […]
Lenovo is no stranger to the 2-in-1 market — the Yoga series is still the shining example of how it’s done — but we haven’t seen as much from them in the tablet-first style. Devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro are basically supercharged tablets that can become laptop replacements with soft, detachable keyboard covers. They tend to […]
That Huawei 2-in-1 with the luxurious trappings we saw at MWC this year now has an official release date. The 12″ Huawei MateBook tablet/PC hybrid will be available in the United States and Canada on July 11, along with the bevy of related accessories Huawei has prepared. The lightweight 12″ MateBook is a 2-in-1 of […]
If the ZenBook 3 was Asus’ shot at Apple’s MacBook, their new Transformer 2-in-1s are definitely shots at Microsoft’s Surface and Surface Pro. The design is very similar to Microsoft’s excellent 2-in-1s down to the backside kickstand, but an impressive amount of power could give many reason to consider Asus when going shopping this year. […]
We haven’t heard too much from Acer recently, but we know they’re still capable of putting together a pretty good machine now and again. They might have done more than pretty good with the Switch Alpha 12, though — it’s a fanless 2-in-1 that uses more powerful Intel Core i processors, using liquid cooling to keep […]
‘Tis the season for cheap electronics as we head toward the holidays. Cue Toshiba, which is coming to market with the Satellite Radius 11 Convertible, a 2-in-1 laptop with a budget price and budget specs. The Radius 11 Convertible is, roughly speaking, a watered-down Yoga. It has the same two-axis 360 degree hinge that we […]
At their Yoga event in London this week, Lenovo is showing off a new size for their ThinkPad Yoga, the business-friendly take on their popular 2-in-1 line. The same 360 degree hinge, robust keyboard, and TrackPoint are here, but now with a 14″ display that makes this one of the larger 2-in-1 devices we’ve seen […]
Lenovo had plenty to announce last month at IFA, but were noticeably silent about all things Yoga. That’s because the Yoga line is getting the star treatment at its own show in London this week, and the headliner is the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro, an update to Lenovo’s excellent 2-in-1 that features a spec jump […]
The business laptop has always been defined by security and enterprise features – hardware and software to please the IT department. Processing power, sharp displays, and generous amounts of storage can be found in countless laptops – it’s the presence of that business-centric set of features that make or break a solid business laptop. But, […]
Computing at work has come a long way. The days of desktops and virtual machines tied down to central servers are waning, as the workforce becomes increasingly mobile, half by preference and half by necessity. That was part of the philosophy behind Windows 8 – an operating system that could offer a powerful PC experience […]
There are a lot of neat laptop/tablet 2-in-1 convertible form factors coming out now running Windows 8.1. Unfortunately many of them are pretty pricey. The Toshiba Satellite Click on the other hand, is a 2-in-1 convertible that is designed to offer the convenience of both a laptop and a tablet, but at an affordable price […]
