So far, none of the cost news has been particularly positive, given the expected $100 increase of the iPhone 14 Pro. However, not only will the standard iPhone 14 be getting a reduction, the price rise of the Pro models may not be as bad as is being anticipated. Not as pricey as you think Market intelligence company TrendForce has analyzed the situation and is predicting that pricing may not be as bad as everyone is fearing....
Acer tech support In this tech support showdown, we purchased multiple laptops to cover different categories: Cheap, Business, Premium and Gaming.In our Tech Support Showdown, we asked Acer our standard question, “how do I change the touchpad sensitivity to make the cursor faster?” We also asked one brand-specific question per laptop, with Acer’s questions revolving around its Acer Care Center function software and its AcerEXTEND smartphone compatibility software. This includes: “is there a way to check my laptop’s battery life?...
We’re not cautious because Microsoft charges $500 to bump the 2-in-1 up from the 512GB option. That price is in line with what other makers of hard-to-repair devices charge. (And the Surface Book most definitely qualifies as a hard-to-repair device.) For example, Apple places the same premium for the same upgrade to its MacBook Pros. So if you’re comfortable spending $3,199, prefer a detachable tablet display and need the local storage immediately, feel free to fire up that credit card for the 1TB Surface Book, which also packs a Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a Nvidia GeForce GPU....

Lenovo has always had their eyes set on the business side of laptop production, with the classic ThinkPad line serving to shape the professional laptop standard. While laptops like the Yoga and Carbon seek to bridge the gap between professionals and consumers by slimming down and introducing 2-in-1 features. Lenovo’s newest laptop, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s, continues this search for a middle ground through a more traditional, budget-friendly laptop experience....
It doesn’t stop there either; the 3:2 aspect ratio has its ardent fans, but we haven’t seen it on too many laptops outside of the Surface Laptop 4. It’s brilliant for being productive, which is what the X1 Titanium is first and foremost crafted to do. It’s not all perfect; the port selection is extremely limited, the haptic touchpad is on the small side and can be finicky and the keyboard had to cut down on the typically luxurious key travel found on ThinkPads....
Design The LG G Pad F 8.0 isn’t winning any beauty contests. It’s just too chunky and boring, but that’s to be expected at this price. Its 8-inch display is surrounded by a traditional, rectangular black bezel. Just off-center to the left, the 2-MP camera sits above the display when in portrait mode. What design excitement there is happens along the outer fringe. The right and left edge slightly curve into the silvery backside, which is home to the 5-MP camera....

The new MacBook Pro with an M2 processor promises improved performance from its 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU.

The flaw lets attackers bypass an Edge security feature called Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG) that stops malicious JavaScript from executing on a web page. Bug finders from Google’s Project Zero team found the flaw Nov. 17 and gave Microsoft the standard 90 days to fix it before Google disclosed the flaw. But on the deadline day, Feb. 15, Microsoft told Project Zero that it wouldn’t be able to make the deadline, even with a two-week extension that Project Zero had apparently offered....
The devices, which will cost around $400, will reportedly use 10-inch displays, which are smaller than the Surface Pro’s 12-inch screens but more in line with the iPad (which uses a 9.7-inch display). They will use USB Type-C connections, which Microsoft hasn’t included on the Surface Pro yet (but first used on the Surface Book 2 last year). The cheaper Surfaces will also have rounded edges rather than the square corners the existing Surfaces offer....
