It’s one of the first things people new to Chromebooks notice: The Caps Lock key on the keyboard isn’t a Caps Lock key at all. On Chromebooks, Google replaced it with a Search key also known as the Launcher key or, as of late last year, the Everything button. Why? Because many people today use …

The Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 is different than what you might be used to seeing in the world of Chromebooks. It’s not bland gray and plasticky like entry-level models, but it’s also not slim and silver aluminum like most premium Chromebooks. The Flip CM5 has a 15.6-inch touch display and it’s a USI-pen-enabled two-in-one. The body is topped with an anodized …

The X1 Titanium Yoga is the thinnest ThinkPad ever. At 11.5 millimeters (0.45 inch) and with a 13.5-inch 2K-resolution 450-nit display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, it doesn’t take up much more space in a backpack than a spiral-bound single-subject notebook. It also weighs just 2.5 pounds (1.1 kilograms), which is barely more than the X1 Nano, Lenovo’s lightest ThinkPad to …

I definitely prefer the latter to the former, though, and usually, I do it sitting on the edge of my couch hunched over the keyboard and mouse on my coffee table. It’s not ideal, but it works. The three-piece …

Camera-stabilizer-maker Zhiyun announced the Weebill 2 motorized three-axis gimbal on Thursday. The new model is an update to its Weebill-S and, although it remains compact like that model, it features a new control layout, stronger motors, an updated algorithm and improved axis locks. It’s also the first to have a 2.9-inch flip-out color touchscreen that lets you control your camera …

European drone-maker Parrot kickstarted the consumer drone market but over the past few years, it’s left that behind to focus on its Anafi commercial drones like last year’s triple-camera Anafi USA and 2019’s Anafi Thermal. Those models weren’t too different from its original Anafi, but the Anafi Ai drone announced Wednesday breaks new ground for Parrot. The drone is the …

With so many people still working from home, having a handful of office-friendly features goes a long way. For example, the 2021 version of the HP Spectre x360 14 is the company’s first Spectre two-in-one with a taller 3:2-ratio display. While 16:9 wide-screen displays are nice for entertainment, a 3:2 display is roughly the same as a standard A4 sheet …

That’s especially true for the Inspiron 14 7000, which is at the top of the line but still carries a more affordable price tag. And Dell does it without cutting out features like …
