Review: Is Lenovo’s Convertible ThinkPad Twist-ing In The Wind?

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:22:49 +0000

When I opened the plain brown box at my front stoop to discover the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist, my heart skipped a beat. Because I have a heart condition, that hurt like hell. Getting to finally play with a touchable Windows 8 device, and one by a company that I will unabashedly admit is one of my favorites, […]

Review: Does The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook Live Up To Its Legacy?

I’m often asked by friends what laptop they should buy. As my home system is designed around Apple devices, those friends are surprised when I almost always answer, “Lenovo.” My first laptop was a ThinkPad 380. In the almost 20 years that I’ve been using and repairing laptops, I’ve always found the Thinkpad line to […]

Apple Updates Four Product Lines And Adds One More i

I confess that I didn’t expect today’s Apple Press event to surprise me. The whole world expected an iPad Mini and new Macbook. We even heard that there would be a new version of iBooks, Apple’s eReading app. What I don’t think many of us expected was desktop refreshes and yet another new iPad. Let’s […]

HP IFA Roundup: HP Ready To Lose More Money On Tablets

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:30:46 +0000

It was a year ago last month that HP managed to annoy a decent chunk of users by shutting down a hot new tablet, not even 30 days after releasing it. It was even more annoying if you realized that this wasn’t the first time HP had done this. HP previously released the Slate back […]

Dell IFA Roundup: Can Dell Finally Make A Go Of Tablets?

Mordechai Osdoby — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:15:58 +0000

Back in April, I was fairly harsh on Dell for dropping out of the tablet race. The massive PC maker had promised to come back late this year, and it looks like IFA is going to be a coming out party for the new devices. Except there’s not a true tablet in the bunch, and […]

Toshiba IFA Roundup: Finally, A Touchable Ultrabook I Want To Touch

Mordechai Osdoby — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:39:12 +0000

Last year, Toshiba introduced the Excite line at IFA. This year, however, I’m not finding much chatter. The company introduced a personal storage device called the STOR.E CLOUD that looks kind-of sort-of interesting. Is the general consumer really building personal clouds though? This is a device that appeals to me, but I don’t see a […]

Review: Lenovo Upgrades The Ultrabook With IdeaPad U310

Tom Wyrick — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:55:09 +0000

Since Apple’s release of the “world’s thinnest notebook” with the MacBook Air in January 2008, the competition rushed to offer comparable alternatives. Eventually, Intel coined the name Ultrabook to define any of these ultra lightweight, ultra-thin portables using their components. Even Lenovo, best known for continuing IBM’s ThinkPad line of durable but conservatively styled notebooks, […]

Video: HP’s Folio 13 Ultrabook Deserves Your Attention

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:39:13 +0000

Intel’s new Ultrabook class initiative is heating up. If the last Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was all about tablets, expect this one to be all about Ultrabooks. We at Techcitement had a chance to mess around with several the other day and were insanely impressed. One of the more impressive models is the HP Folio […]
