Design The Inspiron 13 5000 2-in-1 has a functional, but unimpressive design. Made of gunmetal-gray, matte plastic, the Inspiron at least is a slightly different color than Dell’s many silver Inspirons. The screen area has a thick black bezel with oddly rounded corners that don’t match up with the square lid. This results in an area at the upper left and upper right of the screen where you see the gray plastic layer behind the bezel....

Design Dell kept things simple with the 5280’s design. The notebook’s matte-black, carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer shell looks and feels sturdy, and its polycarbonate keyboard deck provides a comfortable area for your wrists to rest while you’re typing. The Latitude’s first USB 3.0 port, USB Type-C port and HDMI port are all located on the machine’s left side, while the headphone jack, second USB 3.0 port, VGA port and Ethernet port sit on the right....

Armed with an Intel Core i9-10885H processor and 32GB of RAM, the Precision 3351 delivers fast performance for business users who run demanding tasks. Combine that with minimal display bezels and a full-size keyboard with a pointing stick, and the Precision 3551 shows that it is meant to be a serious workstation. Having said that, there are some shortcomings beyond the design. The worst offense is the dim and dull display, which belongs on a budget laptop, not an expensive workstation....

But does Tiger Lake live up to the hype? Yes and no. Yes, because you can play certain AAA games on an integrated GPU, albeit on low settings. And yes, in many cases, the overall performance is top-notch as well. The battery life even surpasses Intel’s new Evo standards by two hours. But a lack of legacy ports and a somewhat dim display are a fly in an otherwise pretty pristine ointment....

I’m referring to Google’s shutdown of Stadia, the company’s cloud game streaming service that is going dark in January after roughly three years. While I don’t think anyone that was a Stadia subscriber or even a casual observer of the platform could suggest that they were shocked by the announcement, it did catch some off-guard. In the days and even hours before the announcement, there were promotional materials for upcoming game releases on the platform being sent out and Google clearly didn’t get the memo out company-wide as press materials featuring Stadia went out this week with some of the new Nest product announcements....

Unfortunately, PC vendors are counting on your ignorance. They market their grainy 1366 x 768 screens as “HD,” which is technically correct but very confusing. You wouldn’t call a one-story house a high-rise, so we shouldn’t label a 1366 display as “high definition,” when it’s the lowest resolution you can get. When shopping, you need to look for a model with a display that’s at least “full HD,” which is also known as 1080p, or 1920 x 1080....
