Tester Mailer

Earlier this month, Nvidia announced it would be shipping mobile versions of its GeForce RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2080 Super GPUs on laptops. Now, we're able to bring you some early first-hand testing to see how they stack up against existing GeForce laptop GPUs. In the time since the announcement, we were able to get hold of and start testing two laptops that carried the GeForce RTX 2070 Super and the RTX 2080 Super (both of them in dialed-back Max-Q configurations). The former is in the Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED XB, while the latter is installed in the MSI GS66 Stealth, both part of a new 2020 wave of gaming laptops that boast Nvidia GeForce RTX Super GPUs and Intel's 10th Generation Core H-Series processors. We were able to do this testing with early versions of the soon-to-be available public drivers, and of course only have these two samples to go on so far. As a result, these early tests below may be representative of what these components can do, but bear in mind: T...

The iPad Pro's long battery life, fast performance, and new trackpad support make it a compelling laptop alternative in 2020. But, the iPad Pro's software still isn't as natural and capable as macOS and Windows for it to completely take over as my full-time work machine. Using a trackpad with the iPad Pro 2020 is also quite different from doing so on a laptop or desktop. Apple has optimized the cursor to conform to different aspects of the iPad operating system, and the trackpad is compatible with certain touchscreen gestures. Overall, the iPad Pro may be worth considering for those in a position to get the most out of its unique attributes, like its LiDAR sensor and Apple Pencil support. But, it's a pricey commitment for those who are just looking for a computer for watching Netflix, browsing the web, or taking notes. Apple took another step in turning the iPad into a viable laptop alternative in 2020, thanks to two important launches: its pow...

While it's recommended that you get up and move around sporadically to maintain a healthy balance throughout the workday, it can be disconcerting and reductive to return to the same position that was causing you physical pain. To remedy this problem and offer a solution that makes a day of typing significantly more comfortable, the folks at MOFT created an adjustable laptop stand that allows you to use your laptop while sitting or standing, without taking up any extra space at your desk or workspace.

© Provided by Pocket-lint Lenovo Yoga S740 14-inch review image 1 The Lenovo Yoga S740 is a near-perfect laptop if what you want is a computer, not a lifestyle accessory. Its keyboard is great. It looks smart. Build quality is excellent. And the price is right. For many this is best lower-cost Windows alternative to a MacBook Pro 13. The entry-level Lenovo Yoga S740 costs £799, and gets you the same substance (with a newer CPU) as a £1500 MacBook. We're reviewing the step-up £999 spec, which has a 512GB SSD and top-tier Intel Core i7 CPU. The only real stumbling block is that while Lenovo calls this a "Yoga" laptop, it really isn't one. Design Ports: 1x Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), 2x USB-A 3.0, 1x 3.5mm jack Dimensions: 322.3mm x 212 x 18.1mm Finish: Iron Grey aluminium Weight: 1.4kg Why not? Yoga laptops were so named for their flexible hybrid style, with 360-degree hinges and touchscreens. The Lenovo Yoga S740 does not have either. Its hinge op...

© Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Consistent topics The Vergecast has covered in the past couple of months have been laptops and Quibi. This week is no different; however, this is finally the week when the mobile-only streaming service Quibi was released to the public and the first time we welcome The Verge's new laptop reviewer Monica Chin on the show. There's been a lot of laptop reviews on The Verge lately, so Nilay, Dieter, and Paul talk to Monica about which computers stand out in speed, battery life, and price. (Links below for the laptops discussed.) In the second half of the show, Verge reporter Julia Alexander returns to The Vergecast after covering Quibi for months to give us her first impressions of the app and how it ranks among the many opponents in the streaming wars. There's a whole lot more in between all of that — like the reveal of Sony's all-new PS5 "DualSense" controller and Paul's weekly ...

Microsoft's dual-screen Surface Neo laptop is not going to launch in 2020, a new report says. Instead, Microsoft will focus on delivering Windows 10X on single-screen devices even though the operating system is supposed to power dual-screen laptops. Windows 10X won't be available for any other dual-screen Neo alternatives from other Windows device makers this year. Visit BGR's homepage for more stories. The novel coronavirus has already ruined a bunch of product launches in the tech world, as several events had to be canceled in the past few months. We'll see other product delays in the coming months as well, as it'll be a while until life returns to normal. Save for a vaccine, we'll have to worry about COVID-19 reemerging through 2022, so the old "normal" isn't coming back anytime soon. Recent reports said the iPhone 12 series could be pushed back as far as December because of the pandemic. The Xbox Series X isn't delayed...
