Lenovo unveils world's first foldable PC prototype

Anthony Garreffa | May 14, 2019 8:31 PM CDT

Lenovo has just unveiled a new prototype foldable laptop, something that will feature a future Intel processor and will be an always-on, always-connected laptop running Windows 10.

Lenovo unveils world's first foldable PC prototype

The company unveiled the new foldable laptop prototype to the media which rolls out with a 13.3-inch 2K OLED-based display that has a Galaxy Fold-like design with its latch magnetically leaving a small gap near the hinge. When the prototype foldable laptop is laid out flat, Engadget said during its hands-on that they were "impressed to see that the PC didn't have an obvious crease".

The new laptop will need a tweaked version of Windows before it'll be able to go mainstream, but The Verge said that the foldable screen folds "as advertised" and that Windows "worked well enough". That doesn't inspire confidence as it would be quick and dirty hands-on time and not a full detailed review over weeks and months of using it and folding the screen hundreds of times.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G sports a 15.6-inch 1080p 120Hz display which is the perfect blend of mid-range resolution with high-end refresh rate on an well-sized 15.6-inch panel. The ROG Zephyrus G uses an 81% screen-to-body ratio that pulls you into the display, with bezels on three sizes at just 6.2mm. Not the thinnest on the market, but damn thin.

Lenovo 'Always Connected PCs' are still MIA

Rob Squires | Feb 6, 2019 12:40 AM CST

As you can see in the picture which we took today, at US based retailer Best Buy, "Always Connected PCs" have been missing from store shelves. This appears to have been an issue which started in late December last year with the Lenovo Yoga c630.

Lenovo 'Always Connected PCs' are still MIA

For the last month or so, we have been under the assumption that the lack of availability from at least one major OEM was due to high sales. Today we learned from sources that it is not just popularity that is currently keeping it out of consumers hands, but a problem with a recent software update due to an issue with drivers from Lenovo and Microsoft.

Since we were first shown initial prototypes back at Computex 2017 of Qualcomm Snapdragon silicon, we knew these types of systems would be highly popular and successful in the marketplace. We have been told this has been resolved and the devices should be making their way back to the shelves of a retail store near you soon.

Razer's first pink laptop just in time for Valentine's Day

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 30, 2019 12:13 AM CST

Razer has just announced something that would be the perfect gift for the girl gamer in your life for Valentine's Day or anyone who would love the look of a pink gaming laptop with its new Blade Stealth Quartz gaming laptop.

Razer's first pink laptop just in time for Valentine's Day

The new Razer Blade Stealth Quartz will cost $1599 and rock an Intel Core i7-8565U processor, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB PCIe-based SSD and discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX 150 GPU. It'll arrive as the same 13.3-inch gaming laptop with a native 1080p resolution.

I don't know about you but I really dig the look of the laptop and while it's not something I'd particularly jump out and buy right away, I can see that there is a big market for this. Razer's own logo on the pink laptop stands out more than the black version which is a plus, but if it were emitting a pink light from the logo or USB ports or something, now that would've been cool.

MSI GS75 Stealth: 17-inch gaming laptop with RTX 2080

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 9, 2019 10:17 AM CST

CES 2019 - MSI took some time at the Consumer Electronics Show this year to unveil a beast of a new laptop: the new GS75 Stealth, a new 17-inch gaming laptop that rocks NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q.

MSI GS75 Stealth: 17-inch gaming laptop with RTX 2080

The new MSI GS75 Stealth features a large 17-inch screen with native 1920 x 1080 and 144Hz refresh rate, but lacks G-Sync for some strange reason. Inside, we have new 6C/12T processors thanks to Intel's 8th-gen Core i7 processors, with a Core i9 model planned for the near future. MSI has used an improved 7 heat pipe cooling system across both the CPU and GPU, so we should expect foot-to-the-floor performance from the GS75 Stealth gaming laptop. The GPU can be configured through to NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q, ensuring you'll hit 144FPS at 1080p in all games.

MSI is being much more open about accessing the GS75 Stealth as well, letting users gain access to all three M.2 slots if they want to manually upgrade their storage. Another nice feature is that MSI was able to reduce the physical size of the power brick, so instead of a large power brick attached to the GS75 Stealth there is a more petite charger that it'll ship with.
