The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is the future of the PC market. Or not. It really all depends on where you fall on the value of foldable displays. Having a 13.3-inch OLED tablet PC that folds in half is ostensibly cool, as is the option to use it as dual, 9.6-inch screens. You can fold …

At what size does a mouse pad become a mouse surface? I’m not entirely sure, but “when it covers your entire desk” seems like a good enough answer. Gaming peripheral company SteelSeries introduced Tuesday supersize versions of its mouse pads, the QcK 3XL, QcK 4XL and QcK 5XL. The pads are just as you’d expect: A smooth surface designed …
