Let's Talk Tech
I honestly don’t have the words to describe the TOUGHBOOK 33. This is obviously not a consumer focused device. Spending some time with this slate PC, there’s a LOT here I wish we could get on more mainstream laptops and tablets.

A little outside my normal review regiment, but I couldn’t pass up a military grade rugged tablet.

Pretty hilarious. I wanted to draw a winner live on yesterday’s podcast, but when I tried logging into Gleam, they were in the middle of a server migration and the entire site was down. You can see the carnage from the podcast here.

Let’s say you’re shopping for an inexpensive larger screen gadget.

My first look at the MateBook X Pro and the MediaPad M5! Huawei has a nice pair of new Android tablets coming soon, but the real hotness is the new MateBook X Pro. The slimmest bezels ever released on a laptop, 3K touchscreen, 8th gen Intel chipsets, discrete NVIDIA GPU, and killer battery life. This could be the best solution for getting your work done on the go!

Yesterday Google unveiled their new Nexus line up, new Chromecasts, and showed off a slew of services. One curious tease towards the end of their keynote revealed their strategy for offering up a new tier of productivity device.
The Pixel C.
Previous “Pixel” products utilized Google’s Chrome OS, but this next entry to the line will run stock Android, the operating system reserved for phones and tablets.
