Check out our review of the Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon all-in-one table PC. 

Lenovo’s half-tablet, half-table PC blew our minds when we first saw it at CES in January, so much so that we named it one of the best computing products at the show. It’s an all-in-one, but it’s also a home gaming hub for family game night, and, appropriately enough, comes bundled with two specialty joysticks, two strikers, and one eDice. For more practical uses, the Horizon also includes a wireless keyboard and mouse. This unique machine is available today online starting at $1,699.

This 27-inch touchscreen PC may be mounted on a wall or laid flat on a table and its uses change accordingly. Though it’s only an inch thin, this table PC weighs around 17 pounds, so it’s quite a bit heftier than a regular laptop or a Scrabble board. But here’s the thing – it’s much more than just a computer or a board game emulator. Lenovo’s goal with the Horizon was to create a family computer that up to four family members at a time can use to interact with each other. To that end, the Horizon comes with several multiplayer games, including Monopoly, Draw Race 2, Raiding Company, Air Hockey (demonstrated in this video), and Texas Hold ‘Em. Even more games are available for download through Lenovo’s app store.

There’s also software called Aura included that allows multiple users to flip through different photos, videos, and music at the same time. Since the Horizon is designed to be used around a table, there’s a helpful button to easily flip the display 180 degrees. 

On the tech side, the Horizon’s 1920 x 1080 full HD display is optimized for 10-finger touch. The base model is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, an Nvidia GeForce GT620M graphics card with 2GB of memory, 8GB of RAM, and a 1 TB hard drive. There’s a 720p HD camera and a stand for the Horizon included as well. Lenovo plans on offering a model with a Core i7 processor for even more power in the near future. 

The Horizon is available via Lenovo’s website and will hit shelves in June. What do you think of the Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon? Is it an awesome new computing paradigm or just a cool tablet PC with limited usefulness? Stay tuned for our full review!

Dell almost always has great laptop deals and for a little while now, it’s been selling an older model of the Dell XPS 13 for just $599. That deal continues today but we’re really not sure how long it’s going to stick around for. It feels like it must be ending very soon. The laptop usually costs $799 so you’re saving $200 but overall, this is a fantastic deal for the hardware involved. If you’re keen to learn more before the deal ends, keep reading.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13
Dell is one of the best laptop brands out there so you simply can’t go wrong with purchasing from it. With this model, you get a 12th-generation Intel Core i5-1230U processor along with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. There’s also a 13.4-inch full HD+ screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and anti-glare properties. That’s fairly standard stuff at this price but it’s the build quality of the Dell XPS 13 which makes it stand out so much.

M4 vs. M3: How much better are Apple’s latest chips?
An official rendering of the Apple M4 chip.

Apple has announced the M4 chip, its successor to the M3 that’s currently found in a bunch of Macs and iPads. The M3 is an excellent chip and a real leap above the M2 that came before it, so the question is whether the M4 can manage a similar feat.

Right now, the M4 is only in the iPad Pro, and that means information about how good it is and what it does is rather limited. But if you’re interested in finding out more, you’re in luck, as we’ve gathered up everything we know about Apple’s M4 chip and compared it side by side with the M3. If you want to learn more about Apple’s next chip -- and how it compares to the M3 -- read on.
