GPD Pocket Unboxing & First Look: World’s Smallest Laptop!

This has got to be one of the smallest laptops I have ever seen.  It should be categorized as a palmtop instead.  Either way, this is a very compact, extremely portable UMPC that has decent specs that is certainly more than capable.  It also has a premium all-metal build which is rock solid.  I like the fact that is has 8 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage, although I would of course preferred a SSS over an eMMc. Full testing and benchmarks coming soon. I will be posting the full review shortly so stay tuned.  Until then check out the unboxing and first look.

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490 Review: More Premium Than the MacBook Pro?

This is one sleek looking laptop.  I like its Royal Blue color with its gold accents.  Classy, but stunning at the same time.  However, subpar battery life and a lousy 480p webcam prevented me from giving this an AMDtech Editor’s Choice Award.  At $1,699 USD it is expensive.  But Asus is going directly at Apple’s MacBook Pro with this one, so I sort of understand the price point.

Let me know what you think about the Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe.

Until next time, see ya.

Surface Laptop Review: A Sexy Premium Laptop, But Is it Worth It?

I was really looking forward to this one and I am happy to report it was worth the wait.  It has probably one of the best builds I have ever seen in a laptop.  I am really liking its alcantara material on the inside and the magnesium alloy on the outside.  I will be doing a head to head look at this and the Cube Thinker i35.  Should make for an interesting competition.
