It’s been a decade since I got my first smartphone. One element that has always stood out for me was the rapid progress in smartphone imaging. From the days of slow shutters and motion blurring to exposing elements that are even invisible to the naked eye and capturing film-ready LOG footage, smartphone cameras have come a long way. What hasn’t changed is the “synthetification” of faces. As small format sensors developed alongside the processing pipelines, photos started looking more and more computationally processed....

Intel will be front and center on day one of CES 2020, with possible new CPU reveals, a look at how connective technologies like 5G and Wi-Fi 6 could transform our digital lives, and maybe even a look at the Xe GPU it’s been teasing us with for the last year....

Midrange laptops have undergone a quiet renaissance, with options in the $1,000 range (or slightly less) offering performance, build quality, and displays that rival laptops costing twice as much a few years go. If your budget is limited, but you still need a great laptop, you’re in luck. Two recent laptops I reviewed fall into this category. TheAsus Zenbook 14 Q425andLenovo Slim 7i Gen 9offer the same fast Meteor Lake chipsets and excellent OLED displays, but they’re not identical....

Typically, buying the latest hardware is recommended. When it comes togaming laptops, each year we see new GPUs and CPUs that are worth the extra cash — or even waiting a few months for. But this year, things are different. We’ve just seen a slew of new gaming laptops unveiled duringCES 2024, but if it’s extra performance you care about, you won’t find much new.

Ahead of CES 2022, LG announced two new pro-levelmonitors, one of which has an extremely unique aspect ratio made for creators. As its name somewhat implies, the LG DualUp is like having two landscape-oriented monitors stacked vertically, and the result is a large square-ish panel. Given that the form factor makes the DualUp 28MQ780 look like a slimmed down tube TV in an era where widescreen movies are the norm, LG’s innovative take on the display could make it better for multitasking and creative work....
