Lenovo Legion 5i podcast review: Unleashing Lenovo's...

Benefit of the Doud ·

2022/03/20

Adam's voice is trash this week, so there's a shortened news segment. For our top story, Cliff and Adam discuss the Lenovo Legion 5i gaming laptop. This is a real powerhouse of a laptop, but it's not perfect. There are a few peccadillos here and there, but overall this is pretty great. No tech yeah this week either, but hopefully the pipe will be back up and running soon.

This week, Adam and Cliff experiment with a new format.

The first is a fake company in London with dozens of employees around the world. The second is a new design in the world of VR.

This week, Cliff and Adam look at the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. This is the second generation of Lenovo's convertible Chromebook.

After a shortened January and the introduction of Season 3, Cliff and Adam look back on the half-month that was.

Service - human = apps

Benefit of the Doud ·

2022/02/06

For a long time, but especially since the pandemic, our experience partaking in products and services has been taken over by apps and software. From Amazon shopping to skipping the check-in desk at Disney, apps are pushing humans out of the center of the service industry. We're not sure if we're better off for it. So Cliff and Adam are exploring the issue in a very TekBeardian like experience. Plus we have the Anker Magnetic Desktop Charging Station as our Tech Yeah item of the week. Links to News

This month for Beyond a Doud, we're talking to Nirave Gondia, CCO of Busy Pixel Media, the parent company of Pocketnow, xdadevelopers, and more. Nirave has his fingers in all those pies and he still writes and reviews devices as well. He's a one-man powerhouse in the tech space. Nirave was one of the few who attended CES 2022, so we wanted to talk to him about it, and what the show was like with so few people. CES normally has around 250,000 people, and this year it was closer to 40,000. That's

Microsoft + Blizzard = $$$

2022/01/23

This week Microsoft blew the lid off the gaming industry by buying up Activision/Blizzard which is itself mired in controversy and unionization efforts. This is just a crazy deal overall and Digital Trends Gaming Editor Giovanni Colantonio is breaking it all down for us. What is Microsoft buying, why is Microsoft buying it, what could cause this whole thing to fall apart? Those are the big questions we tackle.
