Buyer’s Guide

Have you ever wished to get a large portable monitor? Very large? About 27 inches in size? I would assume that the majority of people would say “no.” But I also know from experience that there is a need for a large portable display that is easy to move between office locations or use in meetings. The Asus ZenScreen MB27ACF might be the display you’ve always desired if that describes you. Specs and Features At first glance, the Asus ZenScreen…

This 16-inch gaming laptop, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI, has good hardware and is reasonably priced. However, this isn’t the “AI laptop” you’re looking for. The neural processing unit (NPU) is not prepared to perform the most recent AI jobs and is too slow to manage Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC AI features. Many consumers are unaware that contemporary “AI laptops” frequently don’t live up to Microsoft’s claimed criteria. This computer would perform well on GPU-based AI tasks, just like…

The most adaptable PC monitor I’ve ever examined is the Corsair Xeneon Edge 14.5. I used it since it can be used as a supplementary display. Nevertheless, it may also be connected to a 360mm radiator mount on a PC desktop or affixed to a 1/4-20 tripod mount. It can be mounted inside a desktop computer to add style or serve as a dashboard for performance monitoring, or it can be used as part of a streaming setup or connected…

The barriers preventing waves of 6K monitors from being released have finally been lifted, seven years after Apple’s 6K Pro Display HDR was released. Many new possibilities are coming in 2025, even if some, such as the Dell Ultrasharp U3224KB, were offered in previous years. Among these is the Asus ProArt PA32QCV, a 32-inch 6K monitor with an MSRP of $1,399 that is intended for prosumers, creatives, and professionals. Even while it isn’t cheap, the ProArt PA32QCV is far less…

I owned a large, heavy gaming laptop fifteen years ago. I adored it! Back then, gaming laptops were like that. Compared to large, heavy gaming laptops, the 18-inch Maingear Ultima 18 feels like a contemporary spiritual successor. That’s fantastic, but it also highlights the flaws in these designs. Maingear crammed a large Clevo laptop chassis with premium parts to build the Ultima 18. In some intriguing ways, it goes too far with obscure specifications. However, it competes with contemporary high-end…

If you’re searching for a reliable laptop that won’t break the bank, take a look at this Dell Latitude model, which is currently on sale at B&H for just $699 (it was $1,099). Yes, this powerfully configured productivity laptop is now a whopping $400 discount! What’s inside the engine? This Latitude 5455, which comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro, is a Copilot+ PC that can utilize all the most cutting-edge AI technologies in Windows 11 and beyond because it is…

Since an RTX 4050 desktop card never appeared, we assumed that this generation would be no exception to Nvidia’s somewhat unexpected revelation of the GeForce RTX 5050 desktop graphics card. However, here it is: Since the 2022 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, Nvidia’s most reasonably priced graphics card is the RTX 5050, which retails for $249. Zotac’s Gaming GeForce RTX 5050 Solo, a snubnose variant of the card that we tested, has a respectable amount of power for the price, but…

Lenovo’s selection usually dominates our top choices for 2-in-1 laptops, but this time the manufacturer fell short. According to its specifications, the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 Aura Edition (which retails for $2,125 and was tested in a $2,336 edition) offers classic ThinkPad perfection, including a superb keyboard, excellent build quality, and a long-lasting battery that can last the entire workday. Even if you choose the more ostentatious OLED variant, the ThinkPad still costs a lot of money for the…

Are you looking for a 32-inch smart TV with high-quality images? Or a 32-inch OLED screen that allows you to play games on the net and watch Netflix even while your computer is off? The Samsung Smart Monitor M9 could be the answer for you. For better or worse, this smart monitor runs Samsung’s Tizen operating system and has all the features and capabilities you would anticipate from a Samsung television. Specs and Features Although a little lacking, the Samsung…

When you search for a portable monitor on Amazon, you may be inundated with options from unknown brands. That could point you in the direction of a somewhat more recognizable name, such as Viewsonic, which has been in the industry for many years. While there are benefits to going with a more well-known brand, such as greater USB-C connectivity and an intuitive menu system, the VA1655’s image quality isn’t particularly noteworthy. Specs and Features The Viewsonic VA1655 shares the same…
