Review: TCL 20S

TCL has been one of the sleepers in the smartphone market. They’ve flown under the radar by offering affordable yet unremarkable smartphones that offer a lot of convenience and value. The TCL 20 Pro 5G is one of the most impressive handsets we’ve reviewed this year and its mid-range brother, the TCL 20 S also has a lot to offer in terms of hardware and software.

Video shows new M1 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro and compares it to Intel MacBook Pro

A YouTube video from SANG SÁNG SUỐT gives a first look at the new 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro/M1 Max and compares the new flagship pro laptop with its predecessor, the 16-inch Intel MacBook Pro. The new 16-inch (and its 14-inch counterpart) seem to bring back the design of the Titanium PowerBook G4 but refine it for the present. 

A couple of things stand out. Apple's obsession with thinner and lighter designs seems to be over, or at least there is a compromise. Form now follows 'pro' function and the new MacBook Pros look solid and more durable than the models they replace. Ironically, the new M1 processors have a smaller footprint and don't require as much ventilation, yet the cases for these new Pro books are chunkier and larger (possibly because of additional ports and batteries).

The thinner bezels, taller displays, and the notch all make for a completely new screen layout that seems closer to a 17-inch display, but users will appreciate having additional real estate one one device. The display is also visibly thicker possibly because of the Liquid Retina Display as well as the 1080p multi-element lens and camera. The new MacBook Pros begin shipping next week, although some shipments for custom models have slipped well into December and even January ostensibly because of the persistent chip and component crisis.

Review: Mobile Pixels Duex Plus Portable Laptop Monitor

Road warriors, remote workers, and students hungry for screen real estate have a precious few options, especially if they are working in a limited space. They can opt for a larger 15-inch or larger laptop, but these are heavy and usually don’t have great battery life. A second external monitor is a good option, but could be cumbersome to carry around plus it usually requires its own power supply and cables which can quickly take over a laptop’s limited ports.

Mobile Pixels’ Duex Plus is a thin and light 13.3”-inch monitor that effectively doubles the screen real estate of my MacBook Pro 13. Featuring a reasonably bright and detailed 300 nits of brightness and a 1920 x1080 resolution, the Duex Plus allowed me to replicate my dual-display desktop setup in a more portable.
