The monitor market is on the cusp of entering a new era of innovation. After two decades relying on a familiar core technology – an LCD panel with an LED backlight – consumer PC displays are making the leap to Mini-LED and OLED technology.
Lenovo is a leader in this space. It was an early adopter of OLED in laptops, the first to bring a 2-in-1 PC with a folding OLED screen to consumers, and is among the few selling a 27-inch Mini-LED monitor right now.

Historically, malicious Office macros have been the equivalent of email’s phishing attempts, launching malware at the click of a user’s mouse. Microsoft said Monday that it’s finally clamping down on this security vulnerability, blocking Visual Basic (VBA) macros by default.
To date, Microsoft has warned users about the dangers of untrusted macros, but allowed users to download and run them by manually approving them. Now, untrusted macros will be blocked by default within

I’ve been drooling over that new Alienware OLED monitor since CES, but here in the real world, most of us use something a little more practical. Dell’s latest monitors (which are actually going on sale!) are boosting the reliable IPS screen panel technology long favored by designers for color accuracy. Two new entries in the excellent UltraSharp line, 27 and 32 inches, get new “nano IPS Black” technology supplied by LG. This approximately doubles the contrast ratio of c
Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts are known for going a bit wild with custom-made, “artisan” keycaps, ranging from full themed keysets like my Star Trek Galaxy Class set, to tiny pieces of fan art like these Pokemon resin caps, to even more ridiculous novelties.

Amazon released a fantastic new Kindle Paperwhite in late 2021 and right now it’s available for $45 less than usual. The online retailer has cut the price of the 32GB Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition to $145, which is down from $190.
We reviewed the new Paperwhite in December and gave it four out of five stars. According to the review, we said the device delivers “a luxurious reading experience.” The screen is bigger with a higher-resolution and the “improved fro
The beating heart of any PC is its central processing unit, or CPU.
No wonder a fast CPU is a point of pride for many enthusiasts. It’s also a must-have for anyone looking to get intensive work done. In recent years, upgrading to a bleeding-edge CPU has become less important in light of ever-faster graphics cards and the experience-altering goodness of SSDs. But with the recent introductions of 12th-gen Intel “Alder Lake” and AMD Ryzen 5000 processors, the C
