The OnePlus Pad 2 Wants to Be the iPad Air of Android Tablets

It’s packing the latest Snapdragon mobile chip, a 3K screen, and a whopping six stereo speakers, though we’ll need to see if it’s more than another mid-range tablet.

Could Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7+ Be the First Real iPad Pro Rival?

Aside from the iPad Pro, tablets—especially Android tablets—are sort of in a weird spot right now. Some major hardware makers like Google have completely abandoned the category, while others continue to churn out boring but serviceable devices seemingly more out of obligation than a desire to make innovative gadgets. However, if recent leaks prove true,…

All the Best iPadOS Features That You Don’t Get in iOS

The big iPad-exclusive features (like the Dock) first started appearing in iOS 11, and now Apple’s tablets have a whole separate mobile operating system to call their own. To mark the debut of iPadOS, which starts on version 13 for continuity’s sake, here are the best features you can use on an iPad but not…

Oh No, Is Microsoft Going to Make Another Damn Dual-Screen Gadget?

Maybe it’s the Courier part two, a new member of the Surface family, or the long-rumored Surface phone, but whatever is being shown in a recently discovered patent filing by Microsoft looks pretty interesting. Filed by Microsoft earlier this year, the patent describes a device with reversible hinges. But a few sections in the document…

Acer’s Liquid-Cooled Hybrid Packs a Lot of Power for Not a Lot of Money

It’s a lot to ask a machine to be both a laptop and a tablet, but Acer comes damn close to nailing it with its new Switch Alpha 12. To make it work, Acer had to get weird with design. Acer’s not the first to try something unusual to make a hybrid that combines the…

Lenovo Comes Dangerously Close to Perfecting the Convertible Laptop

“Is that a… laptop?” the waitress at the diner near my apartment asked (I had taken the Lenovo Yoga 900s with me to get some work done). “Sort of!” I said, quickly bending the screen around to demonstrate the Yoga line’s defining feature: the watchband hinge that converts the device from an ultra-thin laptop to…

What It’s Like To Use the iPad Pro As a Laptop

I don’t like laptops. There, I said it. I don’t hate them, but for years I’ve felt they can be improved in many different ways. So when Apple made the iPad Pro, I paid attention. Could this be the product I’d been dreaming of all this time? The short answer: No. The long answer: Also…

Nokia N1 Hands-On: Pretty Great for a $250 iPad Mini Clone

Nokia is not dead (yet?), but their phones are. The company’s latest attempt to be popular again is the Nokia N1, an new Android tablet announced a few months back. The good news is Nokia delivered a very good tablet at a very competitive price. The bad news? We still don’t know if it’s coming…

Dell’s New XPS 13 Sounds Like The Laptop Of My Dreams

15 hours of battery life. A gorgeous 13-inch display that looks like it’s floating in air. Silky carbon fiber sandwiched between shiny aluminum. Starting at just $800. My only question about the new Dell XPS 13: what’s the catch? I remember the first Dell XPS 13. It was smaller than any other ultrabook, but the…

Asus Makes Transforming Windows Tablets Way Less Chunky

Asus popularized the cheap detachable laptop, but they’ve always been chunky little things. Not the Transformer Book Chi. Asus claims the new 10.1-inch T100 Chi is the thinnest Windows tablet ever made. And the 12.5-inch T300 Chi—combined with its keyboard—is now thinner than a MacBook Air. Sure, thin isn’t everything, and even the 7.2mm thick…

iPad Air 2 Review: When Thin Actually Means Something

Gadgets get thinner every year. That’s a given. But the iPad Air 2 crosses a threshold where thin makes a difference. I bought my first iPad in the summer of 2012, under the pretense that it would be a really killer digital photo frame at my wedding. (Ahem.) In the two-plus years since, I’ve never…

Nexus 9 Hands-On: Android’s iPad Air Is a Looker, Not a Stunner

The last time HTC made a tablet, it was basically just an overweight smartphone with subpar specs. The new Nexus 9, however, is actually worthy of your consideration. https://gizmodo.com/googles-new-nexus-9-is-androids-ipad-air-1646616639 The 8.9-inch device is Google’s new flagship tablet, completely replacing the beloved Nexus 7 from last year. And it signals a shift in what Google believes…

Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2012) Will Also Get Android Lollipop

At its initial announcement, Google neglected to detail the software fate of two of its aging devices—the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 (2012). Luckily, Android Lollipop will also extend to include its more senior family members. Google has left devices out software updates before. Last year, the Nexus Galaxy saw no KitKat love, but…

Ashton Kutcher Must Be Stopped (Before He Corrupts Our Laptops)

It’s a little-known fact that celebrity Ashton Kutcher moonlights as a Lenovo engineer. At first, it was tolerable: a kickstand here, a bigger battery there. But now, the chisel-cheeked entrepreneur has twisted Lenovo’s latest tablets to his own foul aims: the new Yoga Tablet 2 Pro has a built-in projector. And a subwoofer. And a…

This is the future of Photoshop and it feels like magic

Adobe has made a video with its vision for the future of its tablet-based graphic applications. Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere… it is really amazing, almost unbelievable—borderline magical, really. Check it out. If they achieve a fraction of what is show here, I would be happy. I have no doubt that all the features will happen eventually,…
