Design The Inspiron is a cheap laptop, and it certainly looks it, too. The notebook’s lid is made of gunmetal-gray plastic with the Dell logo in silver. It has some give when you press down on it, so it’s not as sturdy as I’d like. Lifting the lid reveals a 17.3-inch, 1600 x 900 display surrounded by a thick bezel, an island-style number pad and a silver, plastic deck. At least last year’s models had a comfortable soft-touch deck and a whole bunch of color options....

Design The Dell Inspiron 17 5000 sports a familiar design – in fact, it’s almost identical to the 15-inch entry in the 5000 series of laptops. It features a rough, textured lid that has Dell’s metallic logo emblazoned in the middle. Our review unit came in a vibrant, sky-blue color that covers the top and sides of the laptop, but it’s also available in black, red, plum and gold. Opening the lid reveals a luxurious gray soft-touch deck, chiclet-style keyboard with a full number pad and a 1600 x 900 display surrounded by a thick, gray bezel....

Although we wish the screen were more colorful, companies looking for a portable and potent laptop for their employees will be pleased with the Latitude 7280. It’s one of the best laptops and best business laptops around. Dell Latitude 7280 price and configuration options We reviewed a customization of the Core i7-7600U model that starts at $1,619 and includes vPro technology and the six-cell battery.

The new XPS 13 2-in-1’s keyboard attaches magnetically and allows for 100, 112.5, and 125-degree angles of use. A stylus connects to the XPS magnetically for temporary storage and charging. Being ambidextrous, I found that Dell’s new XPS Stylus was created with both left and right-hand users in mind; and holds a charge for an estimated 50 days. MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro: Which Mac should you buy in 2022?...

But not so fast. The Blade Stealth can’t be easily written off. Not with its sexy redesign and over 8 hours of battery life.

But in the battle for ultraportable supremacy, only one system can reign supreme. Read on to find out which laptop emerges victorious....

But Dell didn’t stop there. The company managed to make the laptop 5.5% smaller than the previous model while making the keys and touchpad significantly larger. And while that might seem minor, the four-border InfinityEdge bezel has made possible one of the highest resolution displays on the market. Plus, armed with a 10th Gen processor and discrete Nvidia GeForce GPU, the Dell XPS 15 is a serious force to be reckoned with and a worthy addition to the Best laptops and Best 15-inch laptops pages....

The wait is finally over — the Dell XPS 15 and XPS 17 are both rumored to be revealed sometime this week. Forbes is saying the XPS 15 and XPS 17 will be announced “mid-week.” While the site didn’t provide any source or details about how that information was obtained, we wouldn’t be surprised to see these two flagships launch soon. All signs point to a May release, although a specific date has eluded us thus far....

General manager of EA Sports, Daryl Holt, revealed in an interview with Axios what the company plans to do in the future. Most notably, the goal is a monumental expansion that would see the EA Sports player base more than double in size. We don’t specifically know how Holt intends to accomplish this, as his phrasing throughout the interview was rather vague. Currently, EA Sports boasts a total of 230 million players; the company wants to see this number hit 500 million over the next five years....

Although it was $6 cheaper on Black Friday, this Editors’ Choice machine is still an absolute steal at this price, which is its second-lowest of the year. The ZenBook 13 is compact and ultra-thin, which makes it easy to take on the road. It features a 1.6GHz Core i5-8250U quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. This translates into solid performance for your productivity or entertainment needs....

Sure, the Elgato Facecam features a 1080p resolution at 60 frames-per-second video, a seamless privacy cover, a sturdy design and a useful companion app. But it’s not worth $200 because there is no microphone on board and you’d expect 4K resolution at this price. Also, photos and videos can get noisy and the included cable is frustratingly short. Overall, the Elgato Facecam is a decent webcam, but a bad one for the $200 price, especially when there are 4K webcams like the Logitech Brio at the same price....

The laptop comes armed with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU with 6GB of VRAM, 512GB SSD and 16GB DDR4 RAM.

It comes in three colors: green, orange and black (we’re partial to the green here at Laptop Mag)....

Design The Aero 15X is plain, yet also sophisticated. While Gigabyte has, unfortunately, gotten rid of the fun colors it offered for the Aero last year (at least for the time being), this year’s all-black version is still incredibly sleek. The carbon-fiber lid is mostly spartan, other than a reflective, silver Gigabyte logo and a small, arrow-shaped design that looks like metal. The magic is still on the inside, though....
