Buyer’s Guide

HP’s new business laptop lineup now includes the HP EliteBook X Flip G1i in addition to the HP EliteBook X G1i. Although 2-in-1s usually have some trade-offs, the firm has done a remarkable job of keeping the 2-in-1 extremely close to the non-flip model in appearance. Compared to the non-flipping EliteBook X G1i, this 2-in-1 laptop is heavier, more expensive, and has (typically) marginally worse performance. Although it’s still a good laptop, anyone who doesn’t require the full corporate package…

Except its shape—a tiny, rectangular puck that may appeal to some more than others—OWC’s USB-C Travel Dock isn’t all that different from other hubs or dongles. I always suggest packing a USB-C hub or dongle, which usually connects with a short cable, when you travel with your laptop. A dongle isn’t the most ergonomically friendly choice; it sways around your desk and gets pulled in different directions by the devices you connect it to. There are a few gadgets that…

The laptops aren’t the cause of that. Conversely, they are frequently excellent, having more ports, lighter materials, and better keyboards than standard computers. The cost is the issue. Compared to mainstream options with the same hardware, a “business laptop” will frequently cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars more. The Acer TravelMate P6 14 AI is now available. The TravelMate Limo falls below $2,000 without compromising the portability and connection that business laptops are renowned for, but it’s still not…

A monitor can be more than just a computer screen at times. Additionally, the display itself occasionally seems like an add-on to its other capabilities. With the Dell Pro 27 Plus, that is unquestionably the case. The monitor’s 4K display is vivid and brilliant. However, the monitor’s broad Ethernet and USB connectivity is perhaps the most notable feature for most users. This office display was created especially to be used with mid-range laptops for productivity and business that have contemporary…

We anticipated an incremental update when we initially learned that Razer was bringing the iconic DeathAdder esports mouse up to date. However, the firm has shown us to be mistaken by updating every feature of the mouse. The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro ($169), which is one of the greatest esports mice Razer has launched, wins our most recent Editors’ Choice award for that type of mouse thanks to its new ultra-high-resolution sensor, enhanced optical switches, and redesigned wireless dongle. Design…

It appears that technology has promised this for at least 20 years. When I was younger, I first encountered visual puzzles that didn’t require glasses. The Nintendo 3DS then gave it a serious chance to become popular, and since then, a few start-ups have attempted—and failed—to make it popular in home theater. In 2022, Acer introduced the Acer ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs computers, joining the movement to eliminate the need for spectacles for 3D. The Acer Predator SpatialLabs View 27 (PSV27-2)…

To further expand the OmniBook family, HP has released the OmniBook X Flip 14. With the launch of Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs, which are expected to usher in a new era of AI-powered systems, the branding was resurrected. As a result, the HP OmniBook X Flip 14 has either an Intel Core Ultra 200-series chip or a new AMD Ryzen AI chip, both of which have NPUs. However, the usefulness is still debatable, and many alternative systems carry out the same…

Even the most devoted port-fiends will probably be put to the test by the ThinkBook 14. A laptop costing less than $1,000 boasts Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, USB-A, Ethernet, a full-sized HDMI 2.1 port, a 3.5mm audio input, and a 4-in-1 SD card reader. Regretfully, its performance and battery life are likewise far worse than those of the competition. Specifications The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 has fairly simple specs. Despite having eight cores (four fast and four efficiency), its Intel Core i5…

Overall, the NM1090 Pro from Lexar is a speedy SSD. Although it costs about the same as the faster competitors, it is a little slow for a PCIe 5.0 SSD with DRAM. As a result, it falls squarely into the buy at the right discount category. Features The NM1090 Pro’s specifications, which include a Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, 232-layer TLC NAND, 1GB of DRAM per TB of capacity, and PCIe 5.0, sound amazing. In order to offset its five-year warranty,…

If your preferences for laptop purchases go toward the size of a family-sized platter of meat and cheese, 2025 is looking to be a fantastic year. Performance could top the charts with the release of new Nvidia RTX mobile graphics, including the top-tier RTX 5090 with 24GB of VRAM. AMD’s Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, a 16-core CPU with the company’s renowned 3D V-Cache—an additional stack of L3 cache that might be helpful in games—has now joined it. Both new chips are…
