1 month ago | microcenter.com | Jorge Jimenez |Jorge Jiménez

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 14Q8X9 is one of the first 2-in-1 laptops powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus—a chip that promises long battery life, whisper-quiet performance, and baked-in AI features thanks to its onboard NPU. It’s part of Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC lineup, aiming to redefine what thin-and-light Windows laptops can do. You should expect near-instant wake times, efficient multitasking, and all-day endurance without the thermal noise of a traditional x86 processor.

Aurzen Zip Review: a Big Idea, but a Tiny Disappointment

2 months ago | gizmodo.com | Jorge Jimenez |Jorge Jiménez

I first saw the Aurzen Zip and I immediately said, “I want one.” It’s a projector and it is small enough to fit into your back pocket, letting you turn any nearby wall into a second screen. No wires or WiFi needed. The company hails it as the “world’s first tri-fold projector”. Unfortunately as cool as it looks and much as I applaud what Aurzen was going for with this minuscule projector, I think I enjoyed the idea of it more than actually using it.

Thank Goodness, That Free Ad-Supported Version of Microsoft Office Was Just a Test

Feb 26, 2025 | gizmodo.com | Jorge Jimenez |Jorge Jiménez

If you have been looking for a free alternative to Google Docs, Microsoft might have answered your prayers—or so we thought—until you see what it won’t let you do. Beebom first reported that Microsoft had stealthily launched a free, ad-supported version of the Office app earlier this week, offering limited versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. However, as it turns out, Microsoft was conducting “some limited testing” and will not launch a free version of Office after all.
These Hello Kitty Smartwatches Are Criminally Adorable

Feb 21, 2025 | gizmodo.com | Jorge Jimenez |Jorge Jiménez

On Thursday, Japanese peripheral maker Green House released a line of Hello Kitty smartwatches that are so adorable that I was annoyed by how boring most smartwatches look these days. The budget smartwatches are themed around four iconic Sanrio characters: Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and Hello Kitty, who I recently found out is five apples tall and not a cat but a little girl. It’s a fact I still can’t quite over.

It’s also loud, can lift itself out of trouble, and its dock is big enough to have its own address. And honestly, if you’re paying that much for a robot vacuum, that’s the kind of vibe you want. Thankfully, the Saros 10R will clean your house better than most, thanks to its great navigation system and suction power.
