Let's Talk Tech
Getting “work” done means different things to different professionals.
For content creators, there are certain features that really help improve your production quality. It’s not just one CPU benchmark or the best battery life, a mobile workstation is a different product than a consumer focused machine.
Does the Creator 15 live up to its name? Let’s take this PC for a spin! Continue reading “MSI Creator 15 Review: THE laptop for content creators?”
My favorite “unnecessary” Star Trek tech is in the Holodeck.
A Starfleet officer calls out “Arch”, and an archway with a touchscreen appears in the holographic simulation. It’s an utterly silly 1990’s idea of how we’d interact with computers hundreds of years in the future. When you think about Trek Tech, there’s really no need for such an elaborate mechanism to appear. A free-standing touch panel is all you need, but you’re also standing in a holographic environment, so why not make any kind of control surface you’d want out of the same “hard light” hologram magic?

I’m totally guilty of letting time pass on this laptop, when I had every intention of revisiting it sooner. How has it held up? Were too many compromises made to reach a lower price? Can laptops like this still compete against ARM powered phones and tablets? Let’s check it out! Continue reading “Huawei MateBook 13 Long Term Review: Pushing the laptop right up to the edge…”
A whole new generation of laptops pack formidable specs in sleek, premium form factors. Not only is the MateBook 13 a surprisingly snappy little machine, it’s also a surprisingly cost effective buy when weighed against a similarly priced MacBook…
We had the chance to take in the sights at the GIGABYTE/Aorus booth the day before CES 2018 officially started. Between the GTX 1070 SLI X9 gaming machine and a full line of notebooks and laptops for work and for gaming, Aorus pulled out all their laptop cred and put it on the table. The GIGABYTE Aero 15 line has been updated with fresh tech, and new displays are right around the corner, so this fan favorite laptop is getting even better. Take a look at the future of laptop tech with Aorus.
Backpacks, binders, pencils and supplies. You’ve spent wads of cash already, and now you’re realizing that your children are all needing to do homework online at the same time but you only have one computer. What to do? We have inexpensive laptops for families on a budget AND some premium options for the high school or college bound creatives who need more horsepower.
Many thanks to Maria Quiban, Tshaka Armstrong, and the crew at Good Day L.A. for having me on for such a fun segment.
