Generation Y is here, and so are the sleek Windows laptops and tablets. The Acer Aspire P3, Lenovo Yoga 11s and Toshiba WT310 are all equipped with Intel Core CPUs from the new Y series. The new processors are more energy-efficient, which is great for b...
Abstract: We previously reviewed Microsoft's Surface Pro (MSRP $999.00) as a tablet. With back-to-school season underway, we figured it was time to put Redmond's first computer through our laptop tests. After all, this is a device the company touts as “a laptop in ...

Sturdy build, tough kickstand, fine screen, terrific keyboard covers, fullsize USB port, good battery life
Not cheap, bulky and heavy, battery life not great, lowspec cameras
The Surface Pro offers some improvements over the RT but they're more than reflected in the price. The big advantage is that you can add other software that doesn't come from the Windows app store, and the more powerful processor can handle just about a...
