    Lenovo's Y520 and Y720 laptops launch new 'Legion' brand of gaming hardware
    It looks like Lenovo’s toe-dip in the gaming laptop market has been successful enough to make the company’s gaming aspirations more permanent. Announced at CES on Tuesday, Lenovo’s gaming laptops have been spun off to a “Legion” sub-brand—which is definitely more fitting than the “IdeaPad” designation of the 2016 models. The new Y520 and Y720 models will be the first to bear the Legion name. Lenovo The laptops include the obligatory under-the-hood tune ups one would expect of a 2017 upda..

But SpaceX’s statement means that it has confidence that..

  • CNN uses screenshot from 'Fallout 4' to show how Russians hack things

    CNN uses screenshot from 'Fallout 4' to show how Russians hack things
    The thing about computer hacking is that it’s such a general, far-reaching term that it’s almost impossible to explain to someone who isn’t already familiar with it. So, news networks who need b-roll footage to show while they’re talking about hacking usually just show keyboards or random strings of letters and numbers, while the audience stares blindly at the screen, assuming that whatever they’re looking at is somehow related to the topic. Or, if you’re CNN, you steal footage from one of the ..

  • Hands on: Dell turns the XPS 13 into a 2-in-1

    Hands on: Dell turns the XPS 13 into a 2-in-1
    Dell has just improved its already brilliant XPS 13 -- it will now be available as a 2-in-1, which means the device has the versatility to be a laptop or a tablet. I had the chance to play around with the device prior to CES. It has a clever design and wowed me with its sleek design and edge-to-edge screen, but it won't come cheap. The starting price of the XPS 13 2-in-1 is US$999, and it'll start shipping this month. That's about $200 more than the starting price of the XPS laptop. You ..

  • This rumored Galaxy S8 feature would be like nothing you've ever seen on an iPhone

    This rumored Galaxy S8 feature would be like nothing you've ever seen on an iPhone
    After all the evidence that surfaced during trials in recent years, there’s pretty much no way to rationally argue against the fact that Samsung got its start in the smartphone business by copying Apple. The company even created a 132-page guide to copying the iPhone pixel by pixel so that its engineers could rework Samsung’s Android build to be more like iOS. That stigma has stuck with Samsung more than it should in some cases, though, and there’s precious little doubt that the company travels..
