Design You either love or hate the toy-like look of the updated HP Stream 11; there is no middle ground here. It comes in a vibrant aqua blue or purple, where the shade infuses everything from its horizontally grained cover to its touchpad, but not the white keyboard. This laptop could be a great choice for students who just want something fun and small to bring to school.. However, the Stream doesn’t look professional enough to bring to a meeting with corporate investors....

Who is this for? Well with a durable chassis, 12th Gen Intel CPU, spacious keyboard with number pad, a big display and a 1080p webcam, this should be a good laptop here for students and workers with jobs that rely on plenty of data entry (finance, IT, etc). But has Huawei pulled it off? We’ve got our hands on one to give you some early impressions.

The Surface Pro X packs a 13-inch (2880 x 1920) touchscreen, an ARM-based Microsoft SQ1 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. It’s essentially a slimmer version of the Surface Pro 7 with thinner bezels and rounded corners. Microsoft also created a new pen just for the Surface Pro X. Called the Slim Pen, this $139 stylus is much thinner than the traditional Surface Pen and has two flat sides instead of a rounded body....

Can you blame me? The S22 Ultra is objectively one of the best smartphones on the market today, and we’ve been crowing about it since February. I mean, just check out these beefy specs, especially in the optics department. As a tech journalist, I take plenty of high-res pictures on a regular basis — both indoors and out — so I’d been thinking about getting a new Galaxy phone for a while now....

Should you believe that? Besides having Touch ID and being equipped with a new A9 chip, iFixit says the new iPad is not any different from the iPad Air, which was launched four years ago. On the surface, Apple’s move here seems reminiscent of last year’s introduction of the iPhone SE, which looked an awful lot like the iPhone 5, albeit with newer innards. But you probably shouldn’t write off these internal changes....

This duo of U-series processors arrives as Intel tries to fend off competition from AMD and Apple, two rivals that have both released chips capable of going blow-for-blow, and in some cases outperforming, those from Intel. The chipmaker now faces some of the stiffest competition in years and could see its hold on the industry shrink as a result. If these new U-series Core i5 and Core i7 chips perform as well as Intel claims, it might convince vendors to stick with Team Blue when they release the newest versions of their laptops....

Intel thinks the people who are buying laptops — and the things they’re buying laptops to do — are changing.

It’s all part of Project Athena, an initiative Intel first unveiled during CES in January as a way to redesign notebooks to better meet users’ needs. Intel believes that a new class of mobile is emerging that want to turn to the same device for work and play, and that they’re demanding more portable laptops that don’t skimp on battery life or performance....

Instead of the expected Apple October event, Apple announced the new iPad Pro 2022 in a press release (opens in new tab). This is likely due to the limited amount of changes the Cupertino-based tech giant brings to the table. Fortunately, that also goes for the price of the updated iPad Pro. For a better look at what the iPad Pro with M2 offers, we’ve got you covered. iPad Pro 2022 price Like the iPhone 14, Apple has kept pricing the same for its latest iPad Pro....

The new iPad Pro models get a boost in size and processing power, with a 10.5-inch tablet replacing the 9.7-inch base model, and a step up to the new A10X Fusion chip. On the other hand, the MacBook line gets Intel’s latest, 7th Generation Kaby Lake processors and will receive a new operating system: macOS High Sierra. This OS brings expanded capability and performance to the laptops. From portability to pricing, several key distinctions between the laptop and tablet will affect your ability to work on either device, but Apple has pushed hard to narrow the gaps between these very different devices....

Confusingly, Apple still sells the 2017 MacBook Air on its website for $999. But with ancient components, an antiquated design and a relatively high price tag, the older MacBook Air is a tough sell.
