I’ve been using this 27-inch monitor for the past month and have very few criticisms about how it has handled multiple workflows, gaming and even streaming. The picture is colorful and bright with excellent white balance, it has a sleek design with thin bezels, there are tons of ports, and a clever pop-up webcam means you can stop using the awful one built into your laptop. It isn’t a perfect monitor by any means....
Design It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this cheap laptop feels really, well, cheap. It’s made of black plastic, and the ribbed lid with HP’s logo has a lot of flex when you press down. Lifting the lid reveals the 15.6-inch, 1366 x 768 display; an island-style keyboard with a number pad; and a black deck with some racing stripes. The black plastic edges around the deck are sharper than I expected, which caused me some trouble while typing (see below)....
HP Pavilion Plus 14 price and configuration HP Pavilion Plus 14 price and configuration At its starting configuration, the Pavilion Plus 14 is surprisingly affordable at just $799 (on sale for $599 @ HP (opens in new tab)). This gives you an Intel Core i5-1240p processor, 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD, all while running on Windows 11 Home. While the starting configuration doesn’t include an OLED display, the 14-inch, 2240 x 1400-pixel, IPS display is still adequate....
HP’s Spectre x360 just recently burst out of the gate with a new, gorgeous 15.6-inch 4K OLED display for just $1,799. But how does that compare with the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro, which boasts a 15.4-inch Retina display? The MacBook Pro starts at a much steeper $2,399 and our test unit costs $4,699. Here’s how these two premium laptops stack up. HP Spectre x360 OLED vs. Apple MacBook Pro: Specs Compared Design Both the Spectre x360 and MacBook Pro sport premium aluminum designs, but each laptop has a unique style....
The laptop’s 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11850H CPU, Nvidia RTX A2000 GPU and 64GB of RAM can crush a variety of tasks, but it can get a little too toasty when pushed. While the performance can easily handle a variety of creative tasks, the display’s lack of color and color accuracy make it a tough sell for video work unless you are relying on an external display. The HP ZBook Power G8 may be the perfect workstation for some users, but there are too many missteps for it to be among our best workstations page....
Hopefully, that gives you an idea of what I experienced when playing Linguist FPS, a shooter that aims to teach you a second language while pumping bullets into killer robots. It’s like The Typing of the Dead (a very real House of the Dead offshoot), but instead of sharpening your typing abilities, you’re saving a city by brushing up on your vocabulary in an entirely different language. Developers Rocket Boy Games want you to think there aren’t any quizzes masked as “fun games” like on many language learning apps....
During the Intel Developer Forum, we got a taste of what the 7th-Gen Core processors could do. During a demo at the forum, a Dell XPS 13 laptop was able to play the graphically demanding game Overwatch, using standard integrated graphics on the new platform. We’ve since reviewed the Kaby Lake XPS 13 and found its performance to be noticeably better. We now have a better idea of just how these CPUs will power the performance of an upcoming spate of notebooks, 2-in-1s and other computers....
