Computers, Laptops & Tablets

You’ve heard the rumours: Linksys is a releasing monster new Wi-Fi router. The most powerful to hit the market yet, featuring four antennas, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, 256MB of DDR3 RAM, Wi-Fi speed of up to 1,900 Mbps, eSATA and USB 3.0 ports, plus support for Linux and open source firmware. The highly anticipated Linksys WRT1900ac is expected to launch on April 10 and you can get it first at Best Buy! You can beat the rush and pre-order the hottest home router ever starting today. To tide you over, here’s a quick preview of what you can expect from the iconic black and blue beast —look for a review here in April.    

Chances are you’ve heard of a Chromebook —the hot new category in affordable, mobile computing— but what the heck is a Chromebox? The cardboard box a Samsung Chromebook ships in? Does it have anything to do with Battlestar Galactica and Cylons? No to both. Chromebox is the natural extension of the Chromebook, taking Google’s Chrome operating system and using it to run a compact, portable and affordable alternative to a traditional desktop Windows PC. The Chromebox isn’t for everyone, but when it comes to a desktop PC that features near instant boot-up, built-in security, the ability to work on documents and spreadsheets using free (and offline-capable) apps plus a complete web experience, a Chromebox is an appealing option.

The first gaming laptop my wife ever brought home must have taken up half of our coffee table and weighed about as much. The second she owned was a little thinner but almost as heavy. The HP Omen’s size pales in comparison to those two monstrous laptops and that’s a good thing. As thin as many of today’s laptops and weighing less than 5 pounds, the HP Omen defies our conventional belief of what a gaming laptop should look and feel like. That’s just the beginning.  Come take a look.

It’s not very often that I have the opportunity to announce something that’s truly different in the computing market. Sure, there’s lots of “thinking different” and with convertible laptops there have been a slew of different form factors. But the HP Sprout isn’t just a new approach to an existing product, it’s really something new: a 3D scanner, 3D workstation and a high performance PC, all in one package. And it’s coming soon to Best Buy.

20 years ago, the hottest flame war in computing was Windows versus Mac. Today that rivalry continues, but with a new twist. Who is the best desktop virtual assistant? It’s Siri on macOS versus Cortana on Windows 10.

 The newest feature for the OnHub Wireless Routers isn’t a Google feature at all. So what is it, where did it come from, and why does it make your connected digital home more useful than ever before?
