Having unveiled a handful of head-turning laptops at CES on Sunday — including the monstrous ROG Mothership and the ultra-thin ZenBook S13 — Asus kicked things off early on Monday by introducing a new convertible Chromebook. The Flip C434, starting at $569, replaces the company’s Chromebook C302 — a breakout hit that’s currently the top-ranked bestseller in Amazon’s two-in-one category.  Asus claims that, despite …

If you’ve been yearning for a Wacom Cintiq Pro but can’t bear the high prices, the company’s new entry-level Cintiq 16 may offer a more wallet-friendly option. Cintiqs are the line of pressure-sensitive pen displays that provide a mobile tablet-like experience for drawing but connect to a standalone computer; the Pro models start at $800 for a tiny 13-inch model, …

Making its debut at CES 2019, the HP Chromebook 14 is the world’s first AMD-powered Chromebook running on either an AMD A4 or A6 processor with integrated Radeon R4 or R5 graphics.

AMD’s early CES 2019 announcements brought us some updates on its laptop processors, which include a targeted attempt to capture some of the growing cheap Chromebook market, slightly faster mobile Ryzens and a promise to keep everyone’s AMD laptop drivers up to date with the latest zero-day game-release optimizations.

What’s better than an HP Spectre x360 15 convertible laptop? Based on the one we saw in advance of the show, a Spectre x360 with an OLED display! To date, the few OLED screens we’ve seen in laptops, such as the Alienware 13, have all been around 13 inches. Now HP marries the wide-gamut (100 percent DCI-P3 coverage), high-contrast screen …

Acer has been an active player on the Chromebook scene for years, and has regularly stretched the conventions of the category. In 2015, the company introduced the first Chromebook OS laptop with a 15.6-inch display — a size that has become common since.

We were welcomed to Las Vegas Saturday night with rain and a small flood that reminded us of last year’s desert deluge. But with CES 2019 kicking into high gear two days before the show floor officially opens, we barely had time to dry off. As the sun came out this morning, we saw some amazing things: Here’s what we’ve seen …

You can expect security to be a big topic at CES 2019, with many products designed to protect networks and data. But at the individual user level, you should also be thinking about one very basic way information can be misappropriated — your computer screen. The low-tech hack of simply looking over someone’s shoulder at an airport, coffee shop or …

Bigger, faster and, yes, more expensive computers are coming to CES 2019. A lot of that will be driven by Nvidia’s new laptop graphics cards, known (unofficially for now) as the RTX 20-series. There will also be plenty to see on the more modest end of the price spectrum, from Chromebooks to budget two-in-one hybrids.  For sheer numbers, you can’t …
