Dell’s larger XPS 15 left a big impression on me last year. With its beautiful and large edge-to-edge display, powerful performance and rather beautiful design, it was the kind of Windows laptop I’d love to own for myself. Now I’ve got my hands on the newest generation of the XPS lineup — Dell’s XPS 13…
The Good: Dell’s nearly edgeless display makes the XPS 15 a complete joy to work on, and especially to watch video content. It’s got a very high standard build and feels like a premium product all around. The Bad: The 4K display is limited to the higher spec model, which is a shame. The Bottom Line: If a…

That’s why today, LastPass has made their password manager free to use across all of your…
The Good: A simple design, comfortable materials and reliable performing mouse. Best of all, it works as advertised and drastically reduces the sound compared to other mice. The Bad: As the ‘Plus’ model to the M330 Silent I would have liked to see larger dimensions. I don’t have the largest hands but even I find…
The world of desktop PCs hasn’t exactly been thrilling in the last few years. Apart from thinner and higher resolution displays, some interesting designs and more power, desktop computers haven’t really changed much. Today however, Microsoft’s Surface Studio made desktop PCs exciting again. Starting at $2,999, the Surface Studio comes with a 28-inch touch screen display that’s…
