The ASUS NX90Jq Laptop Sports a Sleek Design from Bang & Olufsen

By Dena Cassella Published January 5, 2010

We were pleasantly surprised when Asus revealed its new NX90Jq laptop today. Asus used Bang & Olufsen’s Chief designer to create its stunning aluminum coated laptop. The crisp 18.4-inch screen is nestled between two narrow speakers, while the dual-side touchpads look and feel like DJ-style turntables. It’s like a whole new computing experience.

So, here are some things you should know about this sleek Asus lappy: The 18.4-in 1080p screen is LED backlit, it has a Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce GT 335M graphics under the hood, it supports up to 1280GB of storage (with dual drives), it has a slot-in Blu-ray drive, and this lovely laptop is USB3.0 ready.

I hate sharing my Mac, but a face-unlocking app finally cured my privacy paranoia

Someone finally built the app locker every Mac user has been asking for.

If you have ever handed your Mac to a friend, family member, or coworker for "just a minute," you know the mild panic that follows. Sure, your Mac has a lock screen, but once someone is past it, they can open Messages, Photos, Notes, Mail, WhatsApp, and your browser.

iPhones had the same issue, but Apple solved it by adding an app lock feature with the iOS 18 update. Sadly, no such feature exists for macOS. That’s where the new FaceGate app for Mac can help you. It’s a free and open-source app that lets you lock apps on your Mac and even has some novel tricks up its sleeve. So, let’s talk about it, shall we?

The charm of a tiny Windows tablet is apparently at Microsoft. Long live the Surface Go!

Microsoft’s budget Surface era may be over

Microsoft might be cleaning up its Surface lineup. According to Windows Central, Microsoft has stopped manufacturing the Surface Go and Surface Laptop Go lines, with no successors currently planned. Surface Go 4 and Surface Laptop Go 3 are reportedly out of stock in most places, and once remaining retail stock is gone, that may be it.

If this is true, then we are looking at the end of the brand's budget Surface PCs as Microsoft has plenty of premium Windows hardware.
