Lisa Gade reviews the updated 13” Apple MacBook Pro that came out in October 2016. This is the base $1,499 model without the new Touch Bar. The first major refresh of the MacBook Pro line in several years is controversial because Apple removed most ports and switched to a very low travel keyboard to make a thin laptop even thinner (14.9mm). It's also a half pound lighter than the version it replaces at 3 lbs. thanks largely to a smaller capacity battery afforded in part by a more power efficient display. The keyboard is the same extremely very low travel butterfly keyboard as on the 12” MacBook (with a little more click added). All legacy ports are gone except the headphone jack. The Mac instead has two USB-C gen.2/Thunderbolt 3 ports, one of which is used for charging.
This is a 15 watt dual core Intel Skylake 6th generation laptop with Intel Iris graphics. The more expensive 13” MacBook Pro models have more powerful 28 watt CPUs and Intel Iris 550 graphics in addition to the Touch Bar. The MacBook Pro has an exceptional wide color gamut, 500+ nit, 2560 x 1600 IPS display, a super-sized trackpad, fast PCIe NVMe SSDs, up to 16 gigs of RAM and a traditional Fn row at the top of the keyboard.

HP Spectre x360 Review (late 2016, Kaby Lake)
Lisa Gade reviews the updated 13.3” HP Spectre x360, with a new smaller and lighter design, slim side bezels and 7th generation Intel Kaby Lake dual core i5 and i7 15 watt CPUs. It's available with your choice of 8 or 16 gigs of RAM and 256 or 512 gig PCIe NVMe SSDs. The x360 stays with the attractive and successful aluminum unibody design with polished sides and a unique double-curved rear edge. The new model has lost a half pound and weighs 2.8 lbs. making it competitive with the lighter Ultrabooks on the market, and it's significantly less wide.
As ever, it has a 360 degree hinge for use in laptop, tablet, stand and presentation modes. The laptop has a 1920 x 1080 gloss IPS touch screen, Windows Hello camera for facial recognition login, Intel 8265AC WiFi with Bluetooth, a backlit keyboard and a large glass trackpad. You still get a good deal for your money here with premium construction, two USB-C Gen 2/Thunderbolt 3 ports, a fast Core i7 CPU and NVMe SSD starting at $1,169. HP will also offer models with a Core i5 and 4 gigs of RAM for less money.

Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA Review
Lisa Gade reviews the incredibly small and light Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA that directly competes with the 12” MacBook, and indirectly competes with the Dell XPS 13 and Razer Blade Stealth. At 2.09 lbs. (910g) and 11.9mm (0.47”), it's actually slightly smaller and thinner than the MacBook, yet it packs more power with Intel 7th generation Kaby Lake Intel Core i5-7200U and Core i7-7500U dual core 15 watt CPUs with Intel HD 620 graphics. The ZenBook has a rigid aluminum chassis that's available in silver, rose gold and royal blue (all with gold accents).
The laptop has one USB-C 3.1 gen.1 port and a 3.5mm audio jack. The $1,099 Core i5 model comes with 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD and the $,599 Core i7 model has 16 gigs of RAM and a 512 gig SSD. The ZenBook 3 has a very striking 1920 x 1080 IPS display (non-touch but glossy with Gorilla Glass 4).

Google Pixel XL Review
Lisa Gade reviews the Google Pixel XL, the larger of two Pixel phones released in the fall of 2016. The Pixel line replaces the Nexus line of Android smartphones that come direct from Google with the latest Android build and no carrier or manufacturer bloatware. This time, Google is going with flagship pricing, and the 5” Pixel starts at $649 and the 5.5” Pixel XL starts at $769 (add $100 if you want either with 128 rather than 32 gigs of internal storage). The phones have nearly identical specs other than display size/resolution and battery capacity.
The Pixel XL runs Android 7.1 Nougat with the new Google Assistant (voice activated) on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 CPU with 4 gigs of RAM and 32 or 128 gigs of storage (no microSD card slot). The Pixel XL has a 2560 x 1440 AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 4 (the smaller Pixel is 1920 x 1080). It has an 8MP front camera and a 12.3MP rear camera with f/2.0 lens and 4K video recording. Dual band WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS and support for Android Pay are standard. HTC builds the phone, but it was designed by Google. In the US the Pixel phones are sold by Verizon, or you can buy them unlocked for use with any carrier direct from Google.

Lenovo Yoga Book Review (Android)
Lisa Gade reviews the Android version of the innovative Lenovo Yoga Book. It uses the same hardware as the Windows version, though it's available in a few more colors and the keyboard masking (layout) is Android-centric.
** Read our full written review here: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/Lenovo-Yoga-Book.htm
The Yoga Book is a 10.1” tablet with attached keyboard that weighs, 1.5 lb. (690g). It has stunning looks, thanks in part to the flat keyboard design, and is encased in magnesium alloy. It has a 1920 x 1200 IPS touch screen with basic “AnyPen” pen support and a flat surface where the keyboard should be. That's the Create Pad, and it's both a capacitive keyboard and a Wacom EMR digitizer that you can write and draw on (even through paper) with the included pen. The Create pad supports 2,048 pressure levels and has palm rejection, unlike the display digitizer.
The Yoga Book runs a customized version of Android 6.01 Marshmallow on the 1.44 GHz Intel Atom x5-Z8550 CPU with 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of storage. The Yoga Book has dual band WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth and optional 4G LTE. It's priced at $500 and the pen and magnetic paper pad are included.

Lenovo Yoga Book Review (Windows 10 Version)
Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo Yoga Book, a futuristic tablet/convertible laptop that's available running Windows 10 or Android 6 Marshmallow (we use the Windows version in this video). It's a 10.1", 1.5 lb. ultraportable that you can take anywhere, and its build and design are impeccable. Open it up and you'll see a 1920 x 1200 IPS touch screen with basic “AnyPen” pen support and a flat surface where the keyboard should be. That's the Create Pad, and it's both a capacitive keyboard and a Wacom EMR digitizer that you can write and draw on (even through paper) with the included pen. The Create pad supports 2,048 pressure levels and has palm rejection, unlike the display digitizer.
** Read our full written review here: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/Lenovo-Yoga-Book.htm
The Yoga Book has specs that are better suited to Android, though both Windows and Android run on the exact same hardware: 1.44 GHz Intel Atom x5-Z8550 CPU, 4 gigs of DDR3LP RAM and 64 gigs of flash storage. Still, it can handle basic Windows tasks decently. The Yoga Book has dual band WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth and optional 4G LTE. It's relatively affordable at $500 to $550.

MSI GT72VR Dominator Pro (NVIDIA GTX 1070) Review
Lisa Gade reviews the MSI GT72VR Dominator Pro 17.3” gaming laptop with NVIDIA Pascal GTX 1070 graphics and a quad Core 45 watt Core i7-6700HQ CPU. The refreshed Dominator is still one of our top picks for powerful 17” gaming laptops- MSI packs excellent cooling and a lot of tech inside for the price. Our 015 model lists for $1,999 with a 1920 x 1080 matte IPS G-Sync display, SteelSeries programmable backlit RGB keyboard, Killer DoubleShot WiFi + Ethernet, a boot 128 gig M.2 SATA SSD, 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD and a DVD drive.
Our review loaner came from XoticPC.com and they did a few upgrades for RAM and SSD, so we're not quite running stock. The stock 015 model has a SATA M.2 SSD rather than the very fast Samsung 950 Pro PCIe NVMe SSD in ours, and the stock config has 16 gigs of DDR4 RAM while ours is maxed out at 64 gigs. The laptop weighs 8.33 lbs. (3.78kg) and is 1.88” (48mm )thick. It has a 9 cell battery and a 230 watt charger. Other goodies include USB-C 3.1 Gen. 2, ESS Sabre HiFi audio DAC with SPDIF optical out and powerful stereo speakers with a subwoofer.
For those who prefer a smallified version, the MSI GT62VR is the 15.6” equivalent. If you want to go even higher end there's the MSI GT73VR Titan with Intel Core i7-6280HK overclockable CPU and GTX 1080 options and the GT83VR Titan SLI 18.4” model with SLI GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 graphics cards. The GT72VR is also available with a 120Hz wide color gamut display (not G-Sync).

Top Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Alternatives
Sadly the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been discontinued due to battery flaws that can result in fire, and Samsung has requested that all 2.5 million + units be returned for a refund. So what should you buy instead? There are several fine flagship (and a few less than flagship) models with 5.5” or larger screens to replace your once fabulous phablet, and we look at them in this video.

The laptop is also available with GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 cards. This a a 17.3” desktop replacement size notebook that weighs 8.6 lbs. and is 1.6” thick. It can play today's most demanding games at 4K resolution with good frame rates, and it's ready for VR. Our unit has a wide gamut 4K matte IPS non-touch display with G-Sync, and it's also available with a 1080p G-Sync IPS display. The laptop runs Windows 10 on the 4.0 GHz Intel Core i7-6700K, an overclockable desktop CPU.

Acer Predator 17X (with 4K G-Sync Display) Review
Lisa Gade reviews the Acer Predator 17X, the top of the line in Acer's already high end Predator gaming laptop line. The 17X features an overclockable CPU and an NVIDIA desktop graphics card. Thanks to Braintree for supporting our channel. To learn more, and for your first $50,000 in transactions fee-free, go to http://www.braintreepayments.com/techreview .
The Predator 17X is a 17.3”, 10 lb. desktop replacement gaming rig with a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7-6820HK quad core 45 watt unlocked CPU, 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM (64 gigs max), a fast 512 gig PCIe NVMe SSD, 1 TB HDD, Killer DoubleShot WiFi + Ethernet and an RGB backlit keyboard with macro keys. We look at the high end model with a wide color gamut 4K IPS matte display and NVIDIA G-Sync. This laptop has the desktop NVIDIA GTX 980 rather than the mobile part, and performance is noticeably stronger compared to the 980M. Our unit is priced at $3,199, and it's $2,799 with a 1080p display. When refreshed, we expect that Acer will move to the mobile GTX 1080. This laptop competes against higher end Alienware 17 configurations and other boutique gaming notebooks.

Lisa Gade reviews the Acer Predator 17X, the top of the line in Acer's already high end Predator gaming laptop line. The 17X features an overclockable CPU and an NVIDIA desktop graphics card. Thanks to Braintree for supporting our channel. To learn more, and for your first $50,000 in transactions fee-free, go to http://www.braintreepayments.com/techreview .
The Predator 17X is a 17.3”, 10 lb. desktop replacement gaming rig with a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7-6820HK quad core 45 watt unlocked CPU, 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM (64 gigs max), a fast 512 gig PCIe NVMe SSD, 1 TB HDD, Killer DoubleShot WiFi + Ethernet and an RGB backlit keyboard with macro keys. We look at the high end model with a wide color gamut 4K IPS matte display and NVIDIA G-Sync. This laptop has the desktop NVIDIA GTX 980 rather than the mobile part, and performance is noticeably stronger compared to the 980M. Our unit is priced at $3,199, and it's $2,799 with a 1080p display. When refreshed, we expect that Acer will move to the mobile GTX 1080. This laptop competes against higher end Alienware 17 configurations and other boutique gaming notebooks.

Laptops: What I Would and Wouldn't Buy, Oct. 2016 Edition
Lisa Gade helps you narrow down the choices when buying a laptop- from convertibles to Ultrabooks to Macs and gaming laptops. Sometimes it's OK to save money and go with last year's tech, other times it pays in the long run to go with the new technology (even if you have to wait). She covers Intel CPU generations, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 9 and 10 series dedicated graphics, MacBook / MacBook Pro / MacBook Air models, whether this is a good time to buy Ultrabooks and convertibles like Surface Pro 4, and display resolution choices.
