Lenovo announced today that it was refreshing the X1 Yoga with Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake CPUs, which means this should be the fastest X1 Yoga yet when it launches in September for $1,609. ThinkPad X1 Yoga Specs We first saw the redesigned X1 Yoga at CES 2019 but that version packed 8th Gen CPUs. Now that the new 10th Gen Comet Lake processors are out, Lenovo is wasting no time getting its ThinkPads up to speed....
While it doesn’t use the fastest processor, the ThinkPad X1 Nano has enough performance for most tasks, and what it lacks in speed is made up for by outstanding battery life. Everything else about the X1 Nano is classic ThinkPad — the snappy keyboard, plush soft-touch surfaces, military-grade durability and extensive security features. There are a few downsides to consider, like its limited ports and small touchpad, but overall, the ThinkPad X1 Nano achieves what Lenovo set out to do — deliver everything you already love about the ThinkPad brand in the smallest package yet....

Apple’s new macOS 10.13 High Sierra is only a day old, and it’s already been hacked. A rogue application or other service running on a Mac can easily break into Apple’s Keychain password vault and steal all user credentials stored therein, said security researcher Patrick Wardle. “I’m continually disappointed in the security of macOS,” Wardle told both Ars Technica and ZDNet. “Every time I look at macOS the wrong way, something falls over....
Windows 10 is a desktop operating system. Or maybe it’s a tablet operating system. In Microsoft’s eyes, the OS has always been both, and there’s no machine that displays that perspective better than the Surface Book 2. The new, 13-inch model ($1,499 to start, $1,999 as reviewed) continues that tradition, showing off your work above all else, with a screen that pops off of the keyboard to become a tablet. It has the same modern, innovative design as the last version, but with an 8th Gen Intel CPU and optional Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU....
The second edition of Microsoft’s Surface Laptop is similar to the first, and that’s not a bad thing at all. This 13.5-inch touch-screen laptop is a sleek, minimalist machine with an Alcantara keyboard that’s nice to look at and touch. This year’s model offers two notable perks: modern 8th-Gen Intel processors and a slick black color (though you need to spend more for it). Its sluggish SSD and lack of Type-C ports are my only knocks against this laptop....
