For much of the past week I’ve been wandering around Las Vegas with my latest mobile reporting kit. That includes an HP Spectre x360 13 inch laptop, a Google Pixel 2 smartphone, a Canon PowerShot SX50 camera, and a few other odds and ends. So how well did that kit work out covering the 2019 Consumer […]

Brad’s CES 2019 mobile reporting kit
When you write about mobile technology for a living, sometimes it helps to get out of the office for a bit to really put your gear to the test. I don’t know of any better proving ground than the annual Consumer Electronics Show — every January I fly across the country to spend the better […]
Brad’s CES 2018 mobile reporting kit report card
My CES 2018 mobile reporting kit basically consisted of a 3 pound, 13.3 inch laptop, a camera, a smartphone, and a few accessories. So how did it hold up over the course of the week? Pretty well. I’m on my way back home after spending the last 5 days in Las Vegas covering news coming […]
