The One Mix Yoga is a curious computer. At first glance it looks like a tiny laptop: it has a QWERTY keyboard, a 7 inch touchscreen display, an Intel processor, and Windows 10 software. But it also has a 360-degree hinge that lets you push the screen all the way back and hold the computer […]
LG gram (2018) review: A 2.4 pound, 15.6 inch laptop
When LG unveiled a 2.2 pound notebook with a 15.6 inch display a few years ago, I was intrigued.
