Surface Laptop is just a laptop, making it Microsoft’s most baffling release yet
After several years of building systems that compete with, but aren't quite, laptops, Microsoft has built a plain old laptop: the Surface Laptop. I think there's a good chance that the Surface Laptop will become Microsoft's best-selling piece of PC hardware. This is such a straightforward proposition: it's a regular PC laptop. It has no trickery; no tear-off keyboard, no special hinge, no detachable GPU, none of the other things that have made the Surface Pro, Surface Book, and Surface Studio notable or unusual. It can't be said any plainer: Surface Laptop is just a PC laptop.

VAIO's new 'fashionable' laptops have pretty colors, low specs, and high prices
The resurrected VAIO has gone for the premium and businessy ends of the market with most of its laptops so far, but the company's latest announcement targets different customers altogether — albeit customers that still have quite a lot of money to spend. The C15 series' main selling point is its striking range of colorways, including white / copper, navy / gray, yellow / black, and orange / khaki options; VAIO describes it as a "fashionable PC."

Widescreen laptops are dumb
A laptop is more than just a video playback machine. I’ve been thinking about aspect ratios. After years of phones, laptops, tablets, and TV screens converging on 16:9 as the “right” display shape — allowing video playback without distracting black bars — smartphones have disturbed the universality recently by moving to even more elongated formats like 18:9, 19:9, or even 19.5:9 in the iPhone X’s case. That’s prompted me to consider where else the default widescreen proportions might be a poor fit, and I’ve realized that laptops are the worst offenders.

Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 review: jack of all trades
Dell’s latest 15-inch XPS 2-in-1 is a high-end laptop that appeals to creative users: people who need power and portability, and might also appreciate a touchscreen and a stylus. It plays in the same field as HP’s Spectre x360 15, Microsoft’s Surface Book 2, and Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro. Right out of the box, Dell gets most things right with the XPS 15 2-in-1, with a just few areas that need improvement. Its build quality, attention to detail, power, and flexibility add up to a high-end experience that matches its premium price.

Thinner and Lighter Laptops Have Screwed Us All
Over the last few days we’ve seen outcry about Apple’s new MacBook Pro, which offers an optional top-end i9 processor, and how its performance is throttled to the point of parody as the laptop heats up over time. Sparked by a video from YouTuber Dave Lee, who demonstrates that the only way to get Apple’s quoted performance from the MacBook Pro is by keeping it in a refrigerator, the outcry has been brutal.

The latest MacBook Pro have a flaw on the screen and users ask Apple for a warranty program
Apple produces excellent products, that seems to be its virtue, and its price, therefore, also tends to be so. This is the case of their laptops. The mythical MacBook Pro, the favorite of designers or DJs , costs today between 1,505 and 1,999 dollar (official data from the Apple website). For that price one should expect only the best. The unexpected is, however, that the screens of the latest MacBook Pro may fail within a few months.
