Review: HP Z1 Workstation — Don’t Call It A Desktop

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:30:59 +0000

HP is a company that makes printers, desktops, and laptops. What is occasionally forgotten is HP’s line of professional-grade workstations. While some may think a workstation and a PC are the same exact thing, there are different design choices involved. HP’s workstations are well-regarded; maybe even a bit more than the PCs. The first time […]

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

Mordechai Osdoby — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:00:11 +0000

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 […]

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 […]

Since Apple’s release of the “world’s thinnest notebook” with the MacBook Air in January 2008, the competition rushed to offer comparable alternatives.

I May Be In Love With The Lenovo Thinkpad X1

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 15:30:10 +0000

I need to come right out and confess a bias for Thinkpads. My first laptop was a Thinkpad 380 and there are design elements on Thinkpads that I think are just wonderful. As a writer, I find the Trackpoint mouse solution perfect for never having to take my hands off the keys and they make […]

HP TouchSmart 610 Says “Touch Me. Touch Me NOW.”

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:00:36 +0000

We’ve come along way since HP first unveiled the TouchSmart line in 2007. Touch interfaces are no longer seen as a gimmick or something quirky, but as a killer app. Tablets and smartphones have users conditioned to want to interface with their fingers. While many manufacturers are bringing touch to their desktops for the first […]
