Review of the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x: Long-lasting battery

Designed to be portable, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x (Gen 4) is a 13-inch business notebook. Lenovo’s high-end ThinkPad notebooks can be replaced at a lower cost with the ThinkBook series of laptops. However, this laptop outperforms a high-end ThinkPad not just in terms of cost but also in terms of battery life. This is undoubtedly valuable: This ThinkBook costs $1,106, much cheaper than Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon. Although it may not have the luxurious features of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon,…

Microsoft has already reversed the contentious AI feature

Before Copilot+ PCs are even available in stores, Microsoft is already updating its Recall function. The core function of Copilot+ is recall, which involves collecting screen grabs of everything you do on your computer and sorting through the data using a local AI model. As revealed in a Windows blog post, Microsoft is altering Recall’s functionality in response to criticism. To begin with, recall is now opt-in rather than opt-out. Recall used to be the Copilot+ laptop default configuration, but…

For a limited period, Lenovo’s LOQ gaming laptop is available for $469 less.

Lenovo’s cost-effective LOQ 15 gaming laptop is capable of 1080p playback and is easy to type on, but its hefty plastic construction and dull screen prevent it from receiving high honors. You cannot go wrong with Lenovo, one of the top gaming laptop brands available. A 13th-generation Intel Core i7-13700H processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage are included with the Lenovo LOQ. That is pretty good for this pricing bracket, and to make things even more appealing…

Review of Sabrent Rocket Nano 2242: The ideal SSD for picky Thinkpads

M.2 slots vary in length even though they are all 22 mm wide. Generally, they are either 30mm (Steam Deck and other gaming handhelds) or 80mm (your typical desktop or laptop). However, certain devices have a distance of 42mm between the contacts and the rear mounting screw, most notably the Lenovo Legion Go and Thinkpads. You would require a somewhat awkward adapter to fit a 2230 SSD in such a space. A true 2242 SSD, such as the Sabrent Rocket…

Review of the Acer Nitro 17: Is this 17-inch gaming laptop sufficient to take the place of your desktop computer?

The Acer Nitro 17 achieves something that borders on the miraculous. It seems to strike a clever mix between performance and cost while still being reasonably priced. This accomplishment even made me wonder if a 17-inch gaming laptop could truly replace a desktop gaming PC. Regarding gaming, desktop PCs are often less expensive than laptops, but the large Nitro 17 surprised me. An AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, and a 17.3-inch Full HD display with…

The Studio Display from Apple is currently $300 off.

If you would like to connect your MacBook or one of Apple’s non-iMac desktop computers to a monitor, maybe it is time for an upgrade, or to purchase a dedicated display altogether. Ironically, Apple is currently offering its Studio Display for purchase. The VESA mount and tilt-adjustable variants are now $300 less expensive at $1,300, a record low for both. Note that the discount only applies to the versions with regular glass—not the nano-textured kind. For variants that come with a tilt-adjustable stand and VESA mount, the price of Apple’s Studio Display has dropped to its lowest point ever. Since the Studio Display…

Asus TUF Gaming A16/A14 review: an expensive look at a reasonable cost

Affordable lines have always been the hallmark of Asus’s TUF brand, and the recently unveiled A14 and the updated A16 carry on this heritage. But here’s where things stand out: the aesthetics have been completely redesigned to appear a lot more upscale. Furthermore, the gaming laptop lineup now includes a second, more portable alternative thanks to the arrival of the A14. Naturally, a laptop’s performance is its most crucial feature, and during my hands-on, I was unable to run benchmarks…
