The ultrawide screen isn’t the only trick the S430c has up its sleeve. You can connect two Windows or Mac laptops or desktops to the S430c and view them on each side of the S430c. Better yet, software wizardry lets you control the two systems with a single cursor and keyboard, and you can even transfer data from one to the other using copy/paste or drag-and-drop. Like any first-of-its-kind device, the S430c has its quirks, and the $999 price tag is hard to ignore....

Best Buy currently has the HP Spectre x360 13 4K OLED laptop for $1,499 (opens in new tab). Normally, this laptop would set you back a cool $1,799, so that’s a whopping $300 in savings. It’s the cheapest price we’ve seen for this laptop configuration. It’s one of the best laptop deals you can get. HP Spectre x360 (Late 2019) vs. Dell XPS 13 2-in-1Best HP laptops in 2020...

On top of that, the Spectre’s comfortable keyboard, privacy-mode-optional display and sweet speakers make it as good for productivity as it is for play.

Arriving this spring, the new HP Envy x2 is one of the first 2-in-1s to offer Connected Modern Standby mode in Windows 10.

We went hands-on with the Envy x2 ahead of CES 2018, and it looks promising—depending on how HP decides to price it....

At this point, if you’ve already turned your nose up like a petulant child snubbing their vegetables, the HP Victus 15 is not for you. However, if you’re still intrigued, good! This means you’re willing to temper your expectations. The Victus 15 won’t appeal to professional gamers who demand the latest and greatest, but it has enough razzle dazzle to win the affections of casual players. The HP gaming rig sports a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, a 144Hz refresh rate display, updated thermals, and a sophisticated, office-friendly onyx chassis that can double as a work laptop....

However, the PC side of things is questionable. I don’t own an Xbox Series X|S and I never use Xbox’s cloud gaming, but I’ve been a subscriber to Xbox PC Game Pass for a few years now. Infuriatingly, half the time I decide to actually use my subscription, the game I want to play won’t work. Most recently, this happened to me when booting up Grounded, which would unexpectedly crash within a few minutes of launching the game....

Weighing less than 50 pounds, the VR Suitcase is made from carbon-fiber and laser-cut foam.

We knew this day would come as Microsoft announced last year that it would officially retire the ancient (for browsers) Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022 and unlike Internet Explorer in recent years, that plan worked to perfection. The irascible browser pirate was not only a game-changer when it first arrived on our shores, but it also got into serious trouble with the United States and European governments when Microsoft started packaging it with Windows leading to an antitrust suit which Microsoft lost....

Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablets have long put up an argument against the best laptops, and the latest model, the Surface Pro 7, is no different.

Design Wrapped in its baby-blue bumper, the Kurio Xtreme 2 is eye-catching and easy to hold. The included rubber case and screen protector should help relieve the worry of a destructive tantrum or careless toss. During my testing, the case-wrapped Xtreme 2 took a few 29-inch falls onto the carpet surrounding my desk, and it didn’t experience any side effects. Kurio placed the Xtreme 2’s power and volume buttons on the top edge, while the tablet’s microSD memory slot (which supports cards with up to 32GB of memory) lives on the bottom edge....
