HP Tango X review

Can a printer look good enough to reside in your living room? The Tango X does. With its fabric cover, it looks somewhat like a large, fabric-covered coffee-table book. But looks aren't everything -- it also prints quite well and is incredibly easy to set up thanks to HP's Smart app.

Asus ZenBook 14 UX433 Review

The ZenBook 14 aims to be the smallest 14-inch notebook around, and it succeeds thanks to some tiny bezels that enable a pint-sized chassis. Performance and battery life are good but not great, and the notebook lacks any standout features other than its size.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (4th Gen) hands-on review

Lenovo never made an all-aluminum ThinkPad. Until now, that is. At CES 2019, the company introduced the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga with a CNC-milled aluminum chassis. It’s a big change, yet it ultimately does little to help or hinder the 2-in-1.
