The Aspire R14 R5-471T is one of the better 2-in-1s you can get these days for your money, especially if you’re after a computer with a slightly larger display. It gets a 14-inch IPS touchscreen, a really well built body made of a mix...

If you’re looking for a sleek and light 13-inch laptop with Broadwell U hardware and a matte IPS display, the Asus Zenbook UX305LA should definitely be on your list. It’s available in stores around the world and I’ve got to spend some time with...

Last year, I got the pleasure of reviewing the MSI GS60 with both the 870M and 970M graphics cards. I was so impressed with the 970M version that I decided to keep it. I still own it and use it as my daily driver,...

About 3 months ago I sold my Asus T200 to a colleague and used it as an excuse to change my work computer to something a bit more interesting. The T200, my first 2-in-1 and Windows tablet, was a nice machine, but I found...

There are quite a few 11-inch mini laptops with affordable price tags out there, and the Lenovo Yoga 300 11 (also known as the Flex 3 11 in some parts of the world) is Lenovo’s offer in this competitive niche. It’s a hybrid that...

There’s no doubt hybrid laptops are here to stay. Buyers appreciate the versatility of these devices that look and act like regular notebooks, but have 360-degrees convertible screens, so they can be “transformed” into tablets or stands if the user so desires. But is...

If you’re after a 15-inch entertainment laptop that can deal well with multimedia content and some games, there’s a fair chance the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition series is already on your list. If not, it should be! The first generation was released...

I’ve always preferred more portable laptops and not so much the bigger beefier ones out there. Alienware has had a warm place in my heart though, especially since I was a longtime owner of the m11x. Of course the m11x was still considered very...
-
Acer are no strangers to hybrid laptops, as their Aspire Switch and Aspire R lines have been around for a while now. The 2015 Switch lineup includes several different models with screen sizes between 10 to 12.5 inches, as I’ve showed you in a...

Hi everyone. This is my review of the much awaited Asus Transformer Book Chi T300, a sleek 2-in-1 detachable that is selling for $699 and up (at the time of the post, but it will surely get even more affordable down the line). The...
-
I don’t buy budget laptops very often. I mainly try to stick with mid-range to high end models since I haven’t had very good experiences with cheap laptops in the past. There’s always been something that sways me away from them, be it the...
-
Acer haven’t been too creative with their ultrabooks in the last years. While other manufacturers have been pushing out several new models each year, they mostly stuck with a single one: the Aspire S7. The beginning of 2015 brings a “new” iteration of the...
-
Back to school sales have begun and there’s now a deeper batch of affordable Broadwell ultrabooks to choose from. I was excited to see the Toshiba Satellite S55t go on sale last week so I decided to pick one up. I figured this model...

In this post we’re going to talk about the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro, Lenovo’s thinnest and lightest 13 inch ultrabook to-date and at the same time, the first Intel Core M device I got my hands-on. The article is a review, a collection of...

We’ve seen several different 2-in-1 form factors in the last years, and among them, the “Yoga” format, with the 360 degree convertible screen, has gotten the most traction. The Aspire R 13, code name R7-371T, is not like any of the other 2-in-1s. In...

If you only have about $600 to spend for a brand-new Broadwell powered 2-in-1 laptop, the Acer Aspire R 14, also known as the R3-471T in some regions, should be on your list. The affordable price is its main selling-point and that’s why you...

You might think there’s not much Asus could have improved on their massive 17 inch gaming laptops, but you’d be wrong, and the Asus G751, the device we’re going to review in this post, stands as proof. This one succeeds a model launched only...

Acer have a history of throwing unusual form factors into the market and the device we’re going to review here, the Acer Aspire Switch 12 SW5-271 (2014 edition), is one of their weirdest designs, next to the Aspire R13 or the R15. That probably...

For the brief time I used the GS60(FHD) earlier this year, I was very impressed. It fell a little short of what I was looking for though, and comparing it directly to a Razer Blade, I decided it wasn’t what I was looking for....
