It seems like we’ve been dealing with this pandemic for years, and with our shift in behavior has come a shift in what we want and need in a laptop. Intel-based laptops are in short supply, and they are likely to remain so until the demand from those now working and studying from home is […]

Last week there was a huge election in the U.S. with both sides so divided on core issues (starting with the truth) that you’d be right to wonder if citizens lived on the same planet, let alone the same country. As a result, the stress level for those of us living here was off the […]

Apple is historically very hard on subcontractors, often dictating the price they will buy a product. This approach works with smaller firms but didn’t work well with Intel or Qualcomm, and after some creative attempts to drive down component prices, Apple has now decided to build its own SoC.  This SoC, or System on Chip, […]

Lenovo held its Tech World event last week, and like its peers, the company conducted the event virtually.  Of the other industry events so far, Lenovo has been the strongest in demonstrating diversity in its staffing and connecting new product offerings to specific customer use-case examples. Each speaker focused on addressing the need to address […]

Over the last two decades, HP went from a company known for treating its employees very well to one known for employing CEOs that shouldn’t have been CEOs, and then back to a firm that treats employees and customers very well. HP’s last two CEOs have shown a level of care for employees and customers […]

One of the exciting things I’ve discovered after researching companies and schools that effectively pivoted to a post-COVID-19 work-from-home world is that automation played a massive role. Those firms aggressive with digital transformation were highly automated and were more easily able to make a move. But what was also very interesting is that where IT […]

I think we can learn a lot by comparing two very different products that target a similar audience. Both the Gateway Creator Series 15.6″ with AMD Ryzen processor and NVIDIA Graphics and the Microsoft Surface Go laptop target a similar student and small-business segment, but they are very different products.  The Surface Go’s ideal configuration […]

Of all the companies I follow, NVIDIA is currently leading in terms of putting on large-scale events. Part of the reason is that the company makes tools that lend themselves to video presentations, and they use those tools to produce their virtual events. I’m covering the keynote for NVIDIA’s latest GPU Technology Conference (GTC), and […]

We’ve been messing with PCs that could convert into tablets since the early part of this century, and it hasn’t been a pretty trip. Initially, they were expensive, bulky, and had impressively low battery life for a tablet. We didn’t know how bad that was until the less expensive iPad came out, and we got […]

Earlier this month, Intel launched a program called Evo (formerly Project Athena), which focused on Intel-only technology to create lines of PCs in which Intel ensured the resulting quality. This quality effort largely was enabled by the fact that Intel would control what went into the PC and could do a far better job of […]

The HP EliteBook family is a line of respected business-focused laptops that, like most HP offerings, have gone through major design changes over the years. These changes have resulted in one of the best-looking laptops currently in the market and one that has some unique benefits for those of us working from home. I’ve been […]

Let’s start by saying the new Microsoft Surface Duo phone isn’t for everyone. It is the antithesis of the iPhone and if you like large screen phones focused on entertainment, there is a reasonably good chance you’ll not like the Surface Duo. It is the first business-focused smartphone we’ve had since the BlackBerry Key 2 […]
