Back in February I had the opportunity to put the Chuwi Lapbook 14.1 to the test. Its ultra-budget price paired with midrange specs resulted in a notebook that was far better than it should have been for such a ridiculously low price. Chuwi had already made a name for itself with well-received hybrid Windows tablets …
Microsoft released a mild Surface Book update a few months ago, during a press event whose star was the Surface Studio all-in-one desktop. But that was not the Surface Book 2 some of you were expecting. A new report indicates that Microsoft might soon announce the next-gen Surface Book laptop, complete with one design change …
Both Microsoft and Apple launched brand new laptops this fall, a revamped Surface Book and the 2016 MacBook Pro. The latter received plenty of criticism for Apple’s “courageous” design decisions, but it still set pre-order records for Apple. However, it turns out that Microsoft has apparently also benefited from Apple’s design choices, because the company says …
Microsoft did not release a new Surface Pro 5 laptop this year, likely waiting for certain components to become available. For the same reason, the brand new Surface Book model Microsoft launched to fight against the 2016 MacBook Pro isn’t a true Surface Book 2 generation. But Surface fans have reasons to be excited about …
If you’re buying a new laptop for work this year, then the brand new MacBook Pro and Surface Book must be on your radar. They currently represent the best that Apple and Microsoft have to offer regarding hardware. But which one is better? Each company will probably say its new notebook is better suited for professionals, …
The new MacBooks that Apple announced leave a lot to be desired for the supposed “Pro.” There’s no SD card slot, no discrete graphics, and a dongle-fuelled hell if you want to connect to an external screen. But hard as this might be to believe, companies not named Apple do make computers, and some of …
Microsoft last year surprised us with a convertible laptop/tablet design that came with a special type of hinge. This year, the company fixed a hinge-related issue for the Surface Book but delivered its newest hinge innovation inside its first ever Surface-branded desktop. Why is that new hinge design so attractive? Because the Surface Studio can …
Microsoft introduced a new Surface Book laptop during its Windows event on Wednesday, but it made sure not to call it a Surface Book 2. No, that model is probably coming next year. What we’re getting instead is a “Surface Book with Performance Base” laptop that’s supposed to improve performance and battery life. But the laptop …
Today, Apple announced two new MacBook Pros. Microsoft announced a new and upgraded Surface Book yesterday. There’s only one thing to do: compare specs, judge designs, and declare a winner.
Microsoft just wrapped up one of its biggest event of 2016, and it was packed full of new product announcements and more. There actually wasn’t much buzz leading up to the event, all things considered, but that didn’t stop Microsoft from over-delivering and showing off a number of new products that Windows users are all-too eager …
