11 Windows touchpad tricks to help you work faster and smarter

That situation began to change in 2013 with the debut of the Precision Touchpad in Microsoft's Surface Pro 2 and Windows 8.1. The Precision Touchpad hardware and its accompanying built-in Windows drivers treated the touchpad as its own class of pointing device, processing taps, gestures, and movement as native actions. By 2015, high-end laptops, such as the Dell XPS 15, were getting high marks from elite reviewers for having "a trackpad as good as a MacBook."

Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max vs. Razer Blade 16

I’m pitting the best gaming laptop against the best productivity laptop and seeing who comes out on top. It’s a real sumo match of the big boys of the laptop world. No, not in bulk, but the highest-end Razer Blade 16 and MacBook Pros with M3 Max bill themselves as top-of-the-line laptops that thread the needle between portability and power. One’s billed for gaming, the other for high-end productivity, but both companies claim their PCs suit both. MacBook Air or MacBook Pro: Which Was 2022’s Best Laptop? | TechModoWhy…

Alienware’s New M16 Gaming Laptop Now Has Less Junk in the Trunk

Alienware’s laptops have, for a long time, been a bit on the big side. That’s especially true in one particular dimension we’ll be gentle and refer to as the M-series laptop brand’s “posterior.” Alienware returned to the drawing board and redesigned the m16 so it’s smaller thanks to its contracted rear and makes some use of all the extra space.What’s Better Than One Screen?

Luke Larsen / Digital Trends Dell made some huge changes to its XPS lineup in 2024, and people aren’t happy about it. I won’t go into every change here, but every single one of the over 70 comments on the video that I posted on YouTube this morning about the changes are negative. That’s not a good sign. So, what are people so mad about? Well, a lot of the divisive design decisions found in the XPS 13 Plus have been brought over to the new XPS 14 and XPS 16, leaving you with no “safe” options that represent a more…

The OnePlus Pad is a lovely Android tablet with a surprising flaw

Prakhar Khanna / Digital Trends The OnePlus Pad is a story of what could have been if Android was better optimized for trackpads on keyboard accessories. That may sound like a small, niche complaint, but it’s played a big role in my enjoyment (and frustration) with the tablet. Using the OnePlus Pad can be glitchy and buggy at times, but despite its imperfect trackpad implementation (often resulting in me getting frustrated and wanting to move to my laptop for work), the tablet is surprisingly good for being your…

How we test laptops | Digital Trends

Bill Roberson/Digital Trends You’ve read our laptop reviews. You’ve read our conclusions. And now you’re wondering how we came to them. Good question. Reviews often lack context, which is evident in the wildly different scores some laptops receive from different publications. Conflicting opinions can actually make choosing a laptop more difficult if the review’s criteria aren’t made clear. Allow us to lift the veil. Here we’ll explain the benchmarks we use for objective testing and the perspective from which we…
