As CES kicks off, Lenovo is introducing a wide range of new laptops for 2024, and the Yoga lineup is getting its fair share of upgrades. The big focus for 2024 is AI, and all the new Yoga laptops are focused on it, whether its thanks to Intel Core Ultra processors or Nvidia GPUs.

Once you plug this Android 13 tablet in, it goes full Windows 11 laptop. We’ve come close to figuring out the ideal 2-in-1 laptop, but no company has nailed it yet. Lenovo’s latest attempt, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, recognizes that Android has a better touch interface than Windows and that Windows has a better laptop interface than Android — and it combines the two to try to get the best of both worlds. When you’re in laptop mode, the ThinkBook Plus Hybrid functions like a normal Windows laptop. But when you pull the display off the laptop, it turns into an Android tablet. The bottom half of the device — the Windows half — has an Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 75WHr battery. The top half has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of flash storage,... Continue reading…

Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge Unity is undergoing yet another layoff, and this time it’s going to affect about 25 percent of its entire workforce, or around 1,800 employees. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company, which makes the popular game engine Unity, said it’s making the cuts “as it restructures and refocuses on its core business, and to position itself for long-term and profitable growth.”Unity has been through several rounds of layoffs within the past year, with the most recent one affecting 265 workers last November.

The new Zephyrus pair come in dark gray and silvery white color options. | Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Asus’ ROG Zephyrus have been some of our most recommended gaming laptops for years — and now, for CES 2024, the Zephyrus G14 and G16 are getting thinner, faster, and even more versatile for non-gaming tasks. I’ve been testing them out for a couple of weeks, and so far, it seems like a winning update.For 2024, Asus is redesigning the G14 and G16 with new aluminum builds, a smaller and sleeker hinge that doesn’t elevate the deck, 16:10 OLED screens (2880 x 1800 / 120Hz for the G14 and 2560 x 1600 / 240Hz for the G16), larger trackpads and keyboards, a new fast-charging port with reversible plug (separate from their USB-C charging), new six-speaker audio setups (even in the smaller 14-inch), new chips ranging from AMD’s Ryzen 8000 series...

The Aether Monitor Light Bar is a desk lamp and RGB bias light in one. And it supports Matter, for some reason. | Image: Razer Razer has already announced a bunch of stuff at CES 2024, including spec upgrades to its Blade gaming laptops, a USB-C dock, an upgraded gaming chair, and so forth. Very happy for them. Personally, I’m psyched about this business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back Aether Monitor Light Bar.On the front, the Aether has a businesslike CRI 95 temperature-adjustable white light that goes up to 500 lux. By day, it illuminates your desk in high CRI light without creating glare on your monitor or cluttering your desk. It has capacitive touch controls. It’s tasteful. Practical. Utilitarian. And once you’re off the clock? The back of the light bar is RGB city, baby. Bathe your walls in 16.8 million colors! Chroma RGB integration! Sync it to your... Continue reading…

While MSI might be known for its gaming laptops, the company offered something different at CES 2024. Indeed, the leaks and the rumors were true, and MSI has officially taken the wraps off Claw, their first PC gaming handheld. It's different from the others on the market since Intel's new Meteor Lake CPUs power it, and it sure does look pretty powerful.
