The stylus was dead, and now it’s back. What once was the hallmark of cheap touchscreens and finger-unfriendly software has, thanks in no small part to Samsung’s efforts with its Galaxy Note range, had a second-wind; even the popularity of aftermarket capacitive pens for the iPad suggests not every iOS user agrees with Steve Jobs […]
With the newest in Samsung touchscreen technology for the PC universe, the Series 7 SC770 monitor hits the market with a look that’s as sleek as it is minimalistic. We’ve had the opportunity to get an extended look at and feel for this particular monitor working with Windows 8 quite recently, and came away quite […]
The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is the second half of what Amazon hopes will be a one-two knockout punch to rival tablets, sliming down the last-gen Fire HD 8.9 and boosting speed and screen resolution in the process. As we found with the 7-inch Fire HDX, that can make for a compelling slate if you’re […]
