The GPD Win 3 is a handheld gaming device that looks a bit like a Nintendo Switch, with a 5.5 inch display in the center and game controllers on the left and right sides. But while the Switch is a console designed exclusively for gaming, the GPD Win 3 has the beating heart of a […]

OneGx1 review (7 inch mini gaming laptop with cellular support)
The One Netbook OneGx1 is a little laptop computer with a 7 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel touchscreen display and the design of a gaming laptop. The little computer has a backlit keyboard with support for RGB lighting effects, dual fans with a large (and familiar looking) exhaust vent on the back, and an LED […]
Dell XPS 13 9300 review (13.4 inch thin and light laptop with Intel Ice Lake)
The Dell XPS 13 has been setting the standard for thin and light laptops for years — and the 2020 model is the smallest to date, measuring just 11.6″ x 7.8″ x 0.6″ and weighing just 2.64 pounds. Dell accomplished that by shrinking the bezel below the display to give the laptop a 91.5 percent […]
One Mix 1S mini laptop review (7 inch convertible with Celeron 3965Y)
It’s been just over a year since One Netbook released their first compact computer, a 7 inch mini-laptop called the One Mix Yoga. Since then the company has released several other models including some with beefier specs and/or bigger screens and keyboards. Now One Netbook is going back to basics with the One Mix 1S Yoga. It’s […]
GPD P2 Max 8.9 inch mini-laptop preview
GPD’s latest mini laptop is a little less mini than usual. But the GPD P2 Max is also a lot easier to use as a full-fledged computer than the GPD Pocket or GPD Win lines of handheld computers while continuing the trend of being incredibly small compared to most laptops on the market. The GPD […]
GPD MicroPC handheld computer preview
It’s been a good couple of years for handheld computer enthusiasts. Companies like GPD, One Netbook, and TopJoy have been cranking out Windows computers with screen sizes between 5.5 inches and 8 inches and for the most part each one seems better than the lat in one way or another. Now GPD’s fifth tiny Windows […]
Taihe Gemini portable 1080p touchscreen monitor preview
The Taihe Gemini portable monitor has made quite a splash since going up for pre-order on Kickstarter in January, having raised over $1 million from more than 3,200 backers so far — despite the project’s modest goal of just $10,000. Update 2/19/2019: The Kickstarter campaign has ended, but you can now pre-order a Gemini through an […]
GPD Pocket 2 Preview
The GPD Pocket 2 is a handheld computer that looks like a laptop, but which is small enough to fold up and slide into your pocket. As the name suggests, it’s a follow-up to last year’s GPD Pocket, and the new model has a faster processor, an updated keyboard layout, and a sleeker design. It’s […]
Razer Blade Stealth 3 pound Kaby Lake-R notebook review
PC gaming company Razer is a relative newcomer to the laptop space, having released its first notebook computer in 2011. But Razer has been making gaming accessories for years, and the company has leveraged its expertise to crank out a series of well-received portable computers with premium features (and price tags). While most of the […]
Acer Switch Alpha 12 2-in-1 Windows tablet review
The Acer Switch Alpha 12 is a Windows tablet with a high-resolution display, support for up to an Intel Core i7 Skylake processor, and a fanless design. But Acer doesn’t position the Switch Alpha 12 as a tablet. It’s listed in the laptop category on Acer’s website, and for good reason. Not only does the […]
Acer Aspire Switch 10 2-in-1 Windows tablet review
The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a Windows tablet that you can use as a notebook… although I prefer to think of it the other way around. It makes a pretty great portable notebook which you can use as a tablet when the need arises. The system consists of a 10 inch tablet with an […]
Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite review
Over the past few years, Samsung has released some of the best ultrabooks on the market. The company’s Series 9 laptops set a standard for portable Windows notebooks with excellent displays, decent keyboards, good performance, and ridiculously thin and light cases. Samsung’s more recent models are branded ATIV Book 9 instead of Series 9, and […]
