Cliff and Adam meet up to chat about the month that was. Foldables and Lenovo were both the theme for the month. Starting off we talked about our official Thinkpad X1 Fold review. It's a neat concept, but too expensive for the mainstream. Staying on the Fold theme, we talked about our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. A similar conclusion, but in this case, the product is closer to the retail price. Getting back to Lenovo, Cliff and I both got Lenovo laptops in for review, and we

2021/05/02

This week we have our long-awaited Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review. Samsung's folder is an amazing piece of technology that allows a tablet to fold up and slide into your pocket.

2021/04/04

This week, I've got my full review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold. This is the most fun laptop I have ever used. It's so versatile and so unique I can't help but gush. But it's also a bit flawed. Some of it was unavoidable, but some mistakes were entirely avoidable. I'm digging deep on this review to find all the ways this laptop is awesome, and some ways version 2.0 can be better.
