This news comes from images of macOS 10.14 tweeted by developer Steve Troughton-Smith, who’s got a solid track record of revealing stuff Apple’s got up its sleeves. The biggest change seen here is a system-wide Night Mode, as evidenced by how the Xcode, Solar System Mac and Instruments apps pictured are showing off a dark theme. Presumably, this alternate look (which I asked for in our WWDC wish list over at Tom’s Guide) will be a option you can enable and disable via System Preferences....

Design The Ideapad 300S reminds me of a scene in the original Iron Man film where Tony Stark, while designing his suit, tells his computer to “throw a little hot-rod red in there.” The plastic notebook is a beautiful shade of red that looks like it came right off of a race car. Several Laptop Mag staffers expressed their love for the shade of red, although the notebook is also available in black and silver....
Design While all ThinkPads have a similar design, I’m still wowed by just how small the T470s is. The carbon-fiber chassis is black (or silver, if you like change), with the ThinkPad logo in the top-left-hand corner of the lid. When you lift the lid, you’ll be greeted by a 14-inch display, an island-style keyboard, a red pointing stick and another ThinkPad logo – this time, in the bottom-right corner of the black deck....
Before we get into that, let’s talk about why you should go with one of these ThinkPads. For one, they’re both very portable, coming in at or under 3 pounds and 0.6 inches thick. They have great 1080p and 4K display options, and their 10th Gen Intel U-series CPUs deliver reliable performance. There are plenty of security features to protect your sensitive files and the laptops’ military-tested chassis can withstand a beating....
This isn’t a lower-tier model, either. The Yoga C930 on sale has a 4K display, a Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

We were also impressed by the laptop’s speedy performance, stylish looks and impressive portability. Separating the Yoga C930 from other convertible laptops are a number of unique features, including a webcam cover and built-in stylus garage (the stylus comes included)....
The Yoga Chromebook C630 is in a category of its own as the first Chromebook with a 4K panel. Along with a detailed, 15.6-inch display, the Chromebook C630 has a flexible aluminum chassis and powerful components, including a Core i5 CPU. Google’s Pixelbook has long been the go-to premium option for fans of Chrome OS, but does it retain that title against the compelling Yoga Chromebook C630? Let’s find out....
Design The Lofree’s design is all about nostalgia, with round key caps that emulate those on classic typewriters. Each round key has a spherical, concave top. Larger buttons, like the Enter and Shift keys, merge two round buttons together into a figure-eight shape. The result looks like something off of an old Smith Corona typewriter. To emulate the sound and feel of an old typewriter, the Lofree uses Gateron Blue key switches, which offer both audible and tactile feedback with each keystroke....
AMD’s market share is in the 15% range on the GPU side of things, while Nvidia dominates the market with a massive 76%. Both GPU makers offer high-quality GPU’s with Nvidia’s RTX 3080 (opens in new tab) and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, possibly being the top two GPU’s available today. I would be remiss not to add that Intel offers integrated UHD graphics; its market share was actually down 0....
