I don’t buy budget laptops very often. I mainly try to stick with mid-range to high end models since I haven’t had very good experiences with cheap laptops in the past. There’s always been something that sways me away from them, be it the...
-
Acer haven’t been too creative with their ultrabooks in the last years. While other manufacturers have been pushing out several new models each year, they mostly stuck with a single one: the Aspire S7. The beginning of 2015 brings a “new” iteration of the...

We’ve seen several different 2-in-1 form factors in the last years, and among them, the “Yoga” format, with the 360 degree convertible screen, has gotten the most traction. The Aspire R 13, code name R7-371T, is not like any of the other 2-in-1s. In...

You might think there’s not much Asus could have improved on their massive 17 inch gaming laptops, but you’d be wrong, and the Asus G751, the device we’re going to review in this post, stands as proof. This one succeeds a model launched only...

Acer have a history of throwing unusual form factors into the market and the device we’re going to review here, the Acer Aspire Switch 12 SW5-271 (2014 edition), is one of their weirdest designs, next to the Aspire R13 or the R15. That probably...

For the brief time I used the GS60(FHD) earlier this year, I was very impressed. It fell a little short of what I was looking for though, and comparing it directly to a Razer Blade, I decided it wasn’t what I was looking for....
-
On my never ending quest to find the “perfect” high-end ultrabook, I was able to get my hands on the new Aorus X3 Plus. I’ve never used an Aorus product before and I’ve read a few not-so-stellar reviews on Gigabyte laptops as well, so...
-
In this post we’re going to talk about the Asus G771 series. The name suggests that it is, first of all, a 17 inch laptop, and then, a gaming machine, member of Asus’s G line (also known as Republic of Gamers). In reality though,...

Ultrabooks are sleek and snappy, but graphics performances are not exactly their strong point. However, if you were looking for a 13 inch ultrabook with dedicated graphics in the last years, Asus got you cover, with devices like the Zenbook UX32VD back in 2012,...
