Brother I’m in the process of starting a new small business, and try as I might to keep it paper-free, there’s no escaping reality: certain documents must be printed, copied or scanned. Any multifunction printer (MFP) can handle those jobs, but it seems like most of them are inkjet models. I don’t need to print …

Lenovo There are power users, and then there are users who simply need power. If you like to play games, edit the occasional video, and keep, say, 20 browser tabs open at any given time, you probably fall into the latter category. And that means you need a machine with some muscle. Like this one: For a limited time, you …

Old tech is bad tech, right? You don’t see anyone toting around PalmPilots anymore. Actually, the whole concept of outdated hardware is changing rapidly. A phone or tablet or laptop that’s a year or two old may lack the latest bells and whistles, but it still gets the job done. Indeed, what was very recently considered flagship gear only seems …

PNY After getting you all hot and bothered about solid-state drives with yesterday’s deal on migration software, it seemed only logical to follow up with a post about an actual SSD.

Paragon Software So I have this aging Acer Aspire system, a mammoth desktop replacement with a Core i7 processor, lots of RAM, dedicated graphics, and so on. And you know what? It’s slower than molasses in Michigan in January. This was true even after I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7. After a couple of months, it was …

Amazon If I might paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield for a moment, Amazon’s big tablets don’t get no respect. No respect at all, I tell ya. Why? Probably because they’re pricier than 7-inch Kindle Fires, and therefore not perceived as such a screaming-good deal. Also, it’s mighty easy to get lost in the mammoth shadow cast by iPads. But, holy moley, check …

Like a lot of tower-defense games, Galactic Defense feels cramped. At least you can zoom! Screenshot by Rick Broida/CNET Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but I had a hard time enjoying Star Wars: Galactic Defense. Not because it’s a bad game — quite the opposite. It’s because it feels small, even on a 4.7-inch Moto X. On an iPhone …

Samsung About a year ago, the Samsung Galaxy Gear arrived to great fanfare — and was quickly panned by most reviewers. A $299 price tag? Hardly any apps?
