Microsoft has been changing the way we think about Windows over the past few years. Windows 10 is a software-as-a-service release.

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.

Google Pixel 2 smartphone review
The Google Pixel 2 is probably the next phone I’m going to buy. It’s a powerful phone with an excellent camera, well thought-out software, sturdy (if rather mundane) design, and decent battery life.

Google Pixel 2 Review: Performance
Most high-end smartphones shipping in 2017 have Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processors and at least 4GB of RAM. So it’s not surprising that Google’s new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones follow suit. The phones score very well on benchmarks and feel pretty zippy when performing most tasks. But benchmarks only tell part of the […]
