HP Innovation Summit: From Consumer Products to Microfluidics

Over the last two decades, HP went from a company known for treating its employees very well to one known for employing CEOs that shouldn’t have been CEOs, and then back to a firm that treats employees and customers very well. HP’s last two CEOs have shown a level of care for employees and customers […]

Dell’s Hybrid Client: Looking at the Future of PCs

One of the exciting things I’ve discovered after researching companies and schools that effectively pivoted to a post-COVID-19 work-from-home world is that automation played a massive role. Those firms aggressive with digital transformation were highly automated and were more easily able to make a move. But what was also very interesting is that where IT […]

Gateway Creator Series vs. Microsoft Surface Go Laptop: Function vs. Form

I think we can learn a lot by comparing two very different products that target a similar audience. Both the Gateway Creator Series 15.6″ with AMD Ryzen processor and NVIDIA Graphics and the Microsoft Surface Go laptop target a similar student and small-business segment, but they are very different products.  The Surface Go’s ideal configuration […]

How NVIDIA is Showing Us the World of Tomorrow

Of all the companies I follow, NVIDIA is currently leading in terms of putting on large-scale events. Part of the reason is that the company makes tools that lend themselves to video presentations, and they use those tools to produce their virtual events. I’m covering the keynote for NVIDIA’s latest GPU Technology Conference (GTC), and […]

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold: Literally the Most Flexible Notebook

We’ve been messing with PCs that could convert into tablets since the early part of this century, and it hasn’t been a pretty trip. Initially, they were expensive, bulky, and had impressively low battery life for a tablet. We didn’t know how bad that was until the less expensive iPad came out, and we got […]

Qualcomm Enters PC Quality Wars

Earlier this month, Intel launched a program called Evo (formerly Project Athena), which focused on Intel-only technology to create lines of PCs in which Intel ensured the resulting quality. This quality effort largely was enabled by the fact that Intel would control what went into the PC and could do a far better job of […]

HP EliteBook 830/840 G7: Impressive Balance of Design, Performance

The HP EliteBook family is a line of respected business-focused laptops that, like most HP offerings, have gone through major design changes over the years. These changes have resulted in one of the best-looking laptops currently in the market and one that has some unique benefits for those of us working from home. I’ve been […]

Microsoft Surface Duo: The Smartphone That Hits Where You Live

Let’s start by saying the new Microsoft Surface Duo phone isn’t for everyone. It is the antithesis of the iPhone and if you like large screen phones focused on entertainment, there is a reasonably good chance you’ll not like the Surface Duo. It is the first business-focused smartphone we’ve had since the BlackBerry Key 2 […]

How NVIDIA is Shaking Up the Graphics Processor Market

NVIDIA has a history of thinking out of the box. For instance, the company recognized that autonomous driving technology would not only be one of the most powerful future markets but that variants of it could be applied to robotics, drones and ever-broader artificial-intelligence types of projects and products. What they did is look at […]

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7: First True Showcase of AMD’s Mobile Promise

AMD has been extremely competitive with desktop computers but, up until recently, they were the low cost, low performance, low battery life competitor to Intel for laptops. That changed with AMD’s latest processors and the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 with AMD is a showcase of how it can provide more performance for less cost. I’ve […]
