Chinese tech giant Huawei is not known for making laptops, but its 14-inch MateBook X Pro (tested at $1,499; starting at $1,199) could change all that. Not only does it pack a gorgeous, high-res display and speedy performance, its battery lasts all day. And while its name and design beg for comparisons to Apple's MacBook Pro, the MateBook X Pro's keyboard is far more comfortable. At launch, the only things standing between you and its glory were its high price and severely limited availability, and those problems are (mostly) worries of the past. All things considered, the MateBook X Pro is worthy of its place on our Best College Laptops and Best Touch Screen Laptops pages. Laptop Magazine gave this laptop Editor's Choice mark The Pros Fast performance; Exquisite screen; Comfortable keyboard; Long battery life; Both USB Type-C and Type-A ports The Cons Limited availability Verdict The Huawei MateBook X Pro is a speedy, long-lasting premium notebook.

Professional and business line of IBM Thinkpads - T-series had models in T41/41/43 line equipped with gorgeous IPS screens with resolutions of 1400:1050 (SXGA) and even 1600:1200 (UXGA). My passion for old IBM Thinkpads just did not want to fade completely and i bought on Ebay one Thinkpad then another one. Many of them are offered for parts or  not working, but usually they just needed backup CMOS battery to be changed or they where missing p

Intel's consternation with its 10nm manufacturing process is well documented but on its Q1 earnings call yesterday, the Santa Clara chip giant painted a more positive picture on the ramp-up of its forthcoming Ice Lake processor for mobile client systems, dubbed Ice Lake-U. While many media outlets have been reporting that Intel's 10nm product wouldn't ship in meaningful volume this year, Intel CEO Bob Swan offered commentary that production output of Ice Lake has nearly doubled in the past few months. Swan noted specifically, “on the process technology front, our teams executed well in Q1 and our velocity is increasing. We remain on track to have volume client systems on shelves for the holiday selling season. And over the past 4 months, the organization drove a nearly 2X improvement in the rate at which 10nm products move through our factories.” Beyond this, I would offer that Intel is in the process of qualifying the product with major system OEMs here in Q2, with pro
