Apple’s Magic Mouse has had mixed reviews over the years with feedback leaning more toward the negative side. “I spent $70 on this magic mouse 2 and it absolutely sucks. How in the hell did this thing make it past User Acceptance Testing?” one Redditor wondered. Apple’s first foldable could take a page from Microsoft’s playbookiPad 2020 keyboard could use this bizarre tech instead of BluetoothMacBook Pro Touch Bar could move to the spacebar — and we’re confused...
SPUD is a 24-inch, 720p projector-based display the folds down to a very portable brick; It’s 7.5 x 2.2 x 5.6 inches on its largest side and is just under 2 pounds. Arovia claims that the screen won’t wrinkle like other projector screens thanks to a patented design. When it went live, Arovia has a goal of $33,000 for its Kickstarter, but as of this writing, it’s already earned over $75,000 with 44 days to go....
Here are the biggest reasons to buy and skip the new MacBook Air. If you’ve been using a MacBook Air for years, your biggest gripe is likely its low-res 1440 x 900-pixel screen. It’s not even Full HD. Fortunately, Apple finally solved this issue in the 2018 MacBook Air, which features a crisp Retina Display with 2560 x 1600 pixels. This 13.3-inch panel also provides solid, accurate color reproduction. I noticed the vibrant red and green hues, as well as the inky black tones, in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix....
Design The Acer Aspire R 15’s aluminum lid bends back 360 degrees, allowing you to put it in laptop, flat, tent, tablet and display modes. The notebook has the same gunmetal-gray aluminum on its deck that it has on its lid – a premium feature you don’t often see in this price range. However, we noticed a little bit of flex when we pressed down on the palm rest. The laptop’s soft-rubber underside includes glass fiber and silver particles to allow it to be both thin and rigid....
The ConceptD 7 Ezel and ConceptD 7 Ezel Pro will be starting at $2,699 and $3,099, respectively, while the release date is still to be determined. Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel design An elegant white color covers the lid, which is separated into two parts thanks to a hinge that flips the panel. What’s interesting is that the system doesn’t rotate 360 degrees, but rather the panel folds 180 degrees and lays flat on the deck, so you don’t have to fiddle too much with your machine to get it to where it needs to be....
Design - Like a Stealthy Decepticon Some fellow Laptop Mag staffers have called the Predator 17 X downright ugly. I won’t go quite that far. But the 17 X, featuring plastic panels on every side and a somewhat played-out, red-and-black color scheme, doesn’t look as nice as more expensive gaming laptops such as MSI’s GT72 Dragon Edition. The 17 X’s most redeeming characteristic is the glowing Predator logo on its lid, which reminds me of the Decepticon insignia from Transformers and serves as a reminder of the potent gaming weaponry waiting inside....
This VR-ready beast pairs perfectly with the Vive Cosmos VR Headset. In addition to the highlight i7-9750H CPU, GTX 1660 Ti GPU and speedy 256GB SSD, a 144Hz panel ensures that your games are crisp and free of blur. The laptop’s keyboard is backlit for sessions in low-light environments. I’ve grown fond of Acer gaming laptops for their built-in Predator Sense suite that lets you manage game profiles, fan speeds and overclocking....
Acer used the IFA trade show here in Berlin to announce pricing and availability for the Swift 5 (SF515-51T). Look for the notebook to make its North American debut next January at a starting price of $1,099. We had already gotten a glimpse of this particular Swift 5 back in May when Acer previewed the 15.6-inch system. When we first saw Acer’s new device, we were impressed by how light it felt when we picked it up, a feat Acer pulled off by using magnesium-lithium alloys on the notebook’s top and bottom cover....
Design The Spin 5 isn’t visually exciting; it just looks like a slab of metal. To Acer’s credit, it is real metal, and not plastic with a coat of paint on it. The dark-gray lid has a crosshatch pattern that I’m not in love with, but it’s not offensive. Acer’s logo is in silver, which matches the hinges. Inside, the display is surrounded by thick, ugly bezels. The deck is the same gunmetal gray as the lid, but with a rougher texture and without the pattern....
The Alienware AW2720HF packs a 27-inch 1080p LED back-lit panel, fast 240Hz refresh rate, and 1ms response time. Sister site, Tom’s Guide reviewed the similar Alienware AW2518HF and liked its slick, premium design and ergonomic build. They were also impressed by its excellent brightness and color rendering during real-world testing. The 2019 Alienware AW2720HF gaming monitor has the same strikingly premium design and near bezel-less display as its previous-gen sibling....
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo took to Twitter to make the prediction that all of Apple’s portable audio products will make the switch to this connector. It may be a little annoying for those who already have Lightning cables, but will make them so much more convenient in the long term. Plus, with a USB-C iPhone coming in 2023 too (following the EU ruling), alongside pretty much all the iPads having already made the jump to this universal connector, this would be a logical move....

Alexa on a Razer Blade 15 was easy to set up, and intuitive to use. Alexa on Windows 10 can read you the news, tell you a joke, play music and perform most of the other things that Alexa can do on an Echo device. (It can’t yet make calls or control Spotify or Pandora). But there’s one difference that fundamentally changes the experience. When you’re using an Echo device, you just need to say “Alexa” to trigger the voice assistant....
In short, Command Center is the secret sauce that makes an Alienware an Alienware. Dell recently announced that this vaunted set of apps was getting a much-needed makeover for Q1 2018. The first thing you’ll notice when you launch the updated Command Center is the clean, futuristic interface. The static image of whichever Alienware system you were tweaking against a dark boring background has been replaced by a customizable animated backdrop, which is available in black or white....
