Computers, Laptops & Tablets

I’ve spent the past few days making the most of my time with one of the most sought-after, high-profile convertible laptops released in the past year. Sadly, it’s time to ship it back—this thing is in high demand—but not after gaining a new respect for what the combination of premium design and Windows 10 can offer to new laptop buyers. Here’s my review of Hewlett-Packard’s impressive Spectre x360.

This beautiful monitor from Philips is stunning and goes the extra mile with full adjustability to become the monitor you need when you need it.

3D Printing technology has been revolutionized in a few short years. Cost of 3D printers has gone down substantially and they are now quite affordable for consumers to use in their homes or offices. The range of filaments and materials has also expanded so that there are now a variety of colours, textures and shapes. Here are some ideas to get you started on your 3D printing adventures.

Ultra HD (also known as 4K or UHD for some brands) monitor prices have been dropping like a stone lately—although I still can’t get my wife to buy me one—and that’s thanks to massive demand, plus 28-inch TN panels that are getting less expensive to produce. Philips’s foray into that budget-conscious market is the 288P6 Brilliance 28-inch 4K Monitor, and I got to put one through its paces to see if it makes me want that upgrade.

One of the highlights of the annual Consumer Electronics Show is the PC manufacturers. Every January we get a glimpse of some of the coolest computers, accessories and peripherals on the planet and the best part is, we can expect many of these to be available for purchase in the coming months. Here’s a roundup of some of the more outstanding new computers (and related products) displayed at CES 2016, many of which will be available soon at Best Buy.  

CES 2016 is less than half over, and D-Link is already basking in the glow of multiple Design and Engineering awards. Here’s a look at what the networking and Smart Home company has in store for this year and what those CES awards are all about.  

PCs still have a prominent place at the Consumer Electronics Show and Lenovo pulled out all the stops at CES 2016 with a collection of new desktop and portable models. Included in Lenovo’s CES presentation were the world’s thinnest convertible laptop, gaming gear (including a curved gaming monitor) developed in partnership with Razer, and a compact desktop PC with a built-in projector. Here are all the details on Lenovo’s CES showcase.

It’s nearly that time of year once again. Christmas tree decorations are coming down, New Year’s resolutions are being made and tech journalists are focused on Las Vegas. It’s time for CES 2016 and that means a parade of cool new gear to look forward to. CES isn’t all prototypes or stupidly expensive luxury items, although those do photograph well. Want proof? Here’s a selection of laptops and computer gear that made their debut at last year’s CES and then arrived at Best Buy in 2015.

Being able to print on demand is a great option. Every home should have a printer, especially when there are students living there (the printing of assignments just never seems to stop). Wireless printing? Even better! Without having to worry about a wired connection, you can put the printer wherever you want and print to it from virtually any device. Here’s how to configure your home for wireless printing.

With so many of us getting new gadgets at this time of year, lets take a look at what is involved in setting them up with your home network and optimizing performance.
