When we met with Samsung at CES 2019, it made it clear its new Notebook 9 Pro as well as the previously announced Notebook 9 Pen are about design just as much as performance. For the Notebook 9 Pro, Samsung conducted a US-specific design study that influenced its choices on bezel design, profile taper and corner radii, a spokesman told CNET. The result …

RIP Moore’s Law. You had a good run.  At least that’s what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes. The executive, who co-founded graphics-chip maker Nvidia, on Wednesday declared that “Moore’s Law isn’t possible anymore.” A key part of semiconductor manufacturing is shrinking the components called transistors, the extraordinarily tiny electronic switches that process data for everything from the clocks in microwave …

The XPS 13 from Dell has been one of our favorite laptops for a few years. It launched the current war on bezels, shaving down its screen borders before almost everyone else, and that’s a look being copied far and wide now. But, even the most recent generation of the XPS 13 — which made big strides all its own …

CES 2019 on Tuesday officially opened its doors (after two days of major pre-announcements and ramp-ups), as tens of thousands of attendees clogged Las Vegas’s roadways or rode the monorail (What’s it called?!) to attend one of the many show venues around town. In fact, it’s not just the Las Vegas Convention Center anymore: CES now has large outposts at …

Alienware, Dell’s in-house gaming brand, is pushing for thinner but larger gaming laptops with the new Alienware m17. An upscaled version of the recent m15, this new model adds a 17-inch screen (obviously) and Nvidia’s latest mobile GPU, which is likely going to be called the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q (but that’s not finalized yet). The company says this is …

Amid the hoopla of CES 2019, next-generation 5G tech is once again the talk of Las Vegas. But as with previous editions of the big electronics show, it’s largely just that — talk. That’s because, to date, only a few consumers have actually experienced a real 5G network — AT&T launched the next-generation network in select cities last month, while Korean …

The new Alienware Area-51m laptop has arrived, and it’s a monster. A big reveal from Dell’s in-house gaming brand at CES 2019 had been rumored for months, and this huge 17-inch gaming system more than lives up to the hype: Dell calls it “the world’s most powerful gaming laptop,” and it’s the product of several years of design and engineering …

When I first heard about the Samsung Notebook Flash, it sounded like a less expensive version of one of our favorite slim, stylish notebooks, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop. Starting at $350 (roughly £275 , AU$490), the 13.3-inch laptop is intended for students or anyone looking for a stylish, inexpensive laptop for everyday use. It’ll be available in multiple colors and the …

Dell kicked off its press conference at CES 2019 touting its position as the largest PC company, at least in terms of revenue. But it proved the point more literally when it introduced the Alienware Area-51m — an enormous 17-inch gaming system that the company calls “the world’s most powerful gaming laptop.”  Other noteworthy announcements included the new XPS 13, the Inspiron Black Edition, new Latitude …

Take one “world’s first” feature, add Alexa and HDR and stir in a splash of AI and you’ve got a laptop that’s begging to be noticed at CES 2019.  With its lid closed, the new $1,500 (roughly AU$2,100 or £1,180) 13.9-inch Yoga S940 laptop doesn’t look too different from other premium ultraportable laptops at the moment. Even its main components …
