[ad_1] The Pixelbook Go isn’t the most exciting Chromebook on the market, but it ticks the right checkboxes with solid performance, healthy battery life and a quality keyboard. Most of the complaints simply revolve around the cost. It’s an unexciting design for what you’re paying, and you can pay quite a lot if you want […]

Apple’s rackmount Mac Pro is now available
[ad_1] The system starts at $6,499, or $500 more than the standard tower. Like before, though, the price can quickly spiral upward depending on your needs. Max it out with a 28-core Xeon, 1.5TB of RAM, dual Radeon Pro Vega II Duo cards, 8TB of SSD storage, an Afterburner card and a Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad […]
Lenovo’s updated ThinkPad X1 laptops include optional privacy screens
[ad_1] However, the biggest addition is that you can customize both models to include a new 500-nit, 1080p display that features the company’s PrivacyGuard technology. Like the Sure View displays HP has offered for a couple of years, these screens will prevent people from looking over your shoulder to see what you’re working on. Lenovo […]
NEC’s new PC lineup for the US includes a 4K OLED laptop
[ad_1] Those who value portability over all else might prefer the LaVie Pro Mobile (pictured at center). It’s using a low-voltage 1.8GHz Core i7 and a 13.3-inch 1080p display, but it delivers a claimed 15 hours of battery life and sports a carbon lid that keeps the weight down to a featherweight 1.85 pounds. The […]
Personal computer CPU pioneer Chuck Peddle dies at 82
[ad_1] The 6502 almost didn’t happen. Peddle wanted to design his more affordable chip at Motorola, which was struggling to sell its 6800 CPU design kits for a then-costly $300. When Motorola was unresponsive to the proposal (it saw the proposal as internal competition), Peddle and six team members jumped to MOS Technology. Even after […]
Apple’s redesigned Mac Pro will be available to order December 10th
[ad_1] The Pro Display XDR is easier to figure out. It’ll start at $4,999 for a standard model, and $5,999 with nano-texture glass that reduces glare without resorting to a coating. And yes, that infamous stand will set you back $999 if the $199 VESA mount doesn’t do the trick. This is a professional display […]
iPad Pro and MacBook Pro could switch to mini LED displays in late 2020
[ad_1] In theory, mini LED offers many of the benefits of OLED screens without the usual drawbacks. The extremely dense array of LEDs promises high contrast ratios, a wide color range and a thin panel, but remains power-efficient and won’t risk burning in like OLED can. Mini LED makes sense for pro devices where accuracy […]
The 16-inch MacBook Pro has a mysterious ‘lid angle sensor’
[ad_1] We’ve asked Apple if it can elaborate. The iFixit team has speculated that the sensor might be more sophisticated and track both the frequency and angle of lid openings to help the company diagnose certain problems — say, stress on the display cable. It might have an easier time pinpointing systemic flaws.. However, it’s […]
Apple may reveal its 16-inch MacBook Pro tomorrow
[ad_1] There’s no mention of a corresponding update to the 13-inch model, although that’s not surprising. Apple only just updated the smaller laptop in July — it’s a bit soon for a refresh, let alone a major one. And while Intel does have 10th-generation laptop chips, they’re U- and Y-series chips meant largely for ultraportables […]
Calvin Harris already has the new Mac Pro
[ad_1] The sighting came just days after Apple held a Final Cut Pro X summit where it teased “surprises from the Apple product team.” It’s not clear if that involved Mac Pro demos or news, but the timing is hard to ignore. The Mac Pro recently received FCC approval, so there’s not much holding it […]
