Kensington Triple 4K TB5 dock review: Killer speeds, but a few glitches
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Kensington's Triple 4K docking station excels on performance, but its stability is more in question. Kensington's Thunderbolt 5 Triple 4K Docking Station (SD5010T5) is an attractively priced 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 dock, with excellent performance but questionable stability. Kensington's Thunderbolt 5 Triple 4K Docking Station (SD5010T5, sometimes referred to as the SD5010T5 EQ) feels like a 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 dock for the PC, rather than the Mac, with multiple HDMI ports rather than a host of Thunderbolt upstream connections. Performance is stellar; stability, less so.

Acer TravelMate X4 14 AI review: A sensible business laptop at the right price
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Nothing flashy, but it gets the basics right. The Acer TravelMate X4 14 AI is a competent business notebook with good battery life, but it doesn't offer much to get excited about. If you're looking for a portable business laptop you're likely to turn first to something like a Lenovo ThinkPad, HP EliteBook, or Dell Pro but the price could well scare you off, as business laptops tend to carry a substantial price premium. The Acer TravelMate X4 14 AI is also expensive on paper, but competitive retail pricing makes it more alluring.
Laptop docking stations may evolve into 'AI docks' with video and apps
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Laptop docking stations may evolve into'AI docks' with video and apps Synaptics also says it will offer both USB4 chips as well as DisplayLink in the future. For better or worse, laptop docking stations have generally been "dumb" devices. Synaptics and its customers are hoping to change that. Right now, there are two main technologies that "compete" in the docking stations space: USB4 (which Intel puts its own spin on with its Thunderbolt 4 technology) and DisplayLink (a technology Synaptics bought in 2020).
HP EliteBook Ultra G1i review: Luxury AI laptop at a cost
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1i combines a premium Lunar Lake laptop with lots of AI software tricks, but the price tag feels too high. I feel like I've been hearing about AI PCs for years now, and it's easy to tune that out. Despite the machine's capable hardware and attractive build, HP's primary focus remains on AI. HP really wants to talk about all the AI software it bundled with this PC, so I'll try to focus more on that in this review than normal. Indeed, this is a high-quality portable PC with solid Lunar Lake hardware. Assuming you don't want a discrete GPU, it's a good pick.
MSI Claw 8 AI review: This cat got its bite back
The first time you make anything, it probably won't come out perfect, so it wasn't a huge surprise when MSI's debut gaming handheld struggled out of the gate. And that's before you consider the unorthodox choice to go with an Intel chip instead of one from AMD like practically all of its rivals. However, MSI didn't give up, and now it's back with not one but two versions of its second-gen handheld, headlined by the Claw 8 AI . Not only is it bigger than before, it has twice as many Thunderbolt 4 ports, a way bigger battery and some of the best performance we've seen from any device in this category. But more importantly, as the follow-up to a device plagued by lackluster software and unfinished drivers, it feels like the Claw got its bite back. With its 8-inch screen, the Claw 8 AI is bigger than its predecessor and a number of its rivals like the ROG Ally X, though it's still smaller than Lenovo's chunky 8.8-inch Legion Go.
