Design You either love or hate the toy-like look of the updated HP Stream 11; there is no middle ground here. It comes in a vibrant aqua blue or purple, where the shade infuses everything from its horizontally grained cover to its touchpad, but not the white keyboard. This laptop could be a great choice for students who just want something fun and small to bring to school.. However, the Stream doesn’t look professional enough to bring to a meeting with corporate investors....

The Surface Pro X packs a 13-inch (2880 x 1920) touchscreen, an ARM-based Microsoft SQ1 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. It’s essentially a slimmer version of the Surface Pro 7 with thinner bezels and rounded corners. Microsoft also created a new pen just for the Surface Pro X.

Should you believe that? Besides having Touch ID and being equipped with a new A9 chip, iFixit says the new iPad is not any different from the iPad Air, which was launched four years ago. On the surface, Apple’s move here seems reminiscent of last year’s introduction of the iPhone SE, which looked an awful lot like the iPhone 5, albeit with newer innards. But you probably shouldn’t write off these internal changes....

This duo of U-series processors arrives as Intel tries to fend off competition from AMD and Apple, two rivals that have both released chips capable of going blow-for-blow, and in some cases outperforming, those from Intel. The chipmaker now faces some of the stiffest competition in years and could see its hold on the industry shrink as a result. If these new U-series Core i5 and Core i7 chips perform as well as Intel claims, it might convince vendors to stick with Team Blue when they release the newest versions of their laptops....

Instead of the expected Apple October event, Apple announced the new iPad Pro 2022 in a press release (opens in new tab). This is likely due to the limited amount of changes the Cupertino-based tech giant brings to the table. Fortunately, that also goes for the price of the updated iPad Pro.

The new iPad Pro models get a boost in size and processing power, with a 10.5-inch tablet replacing the 9.7-inch base model, and a step up to the new A10X Fusion chip.
