, Nov 15th 2012 Discuss [2]

It's time for Dell to let it be known what their fiscal results are for their third quarter of 2013, and it's not looking very fantastic.

, Nov 15th 2012 Discuss [85]

HP's PC chief has dismissed Microsoft's Surface tablet as "slow and a little kludgey" and blamed the tech press for over-hyping what he would "hardly call ... competition" to HP's own products.

, Oct 26th 2012 Discuss [143]

I um’d and ah’d and hovered over the purchase button for a day or two, but eventually I clicked: I preordered Microsoft’s Surface. Jumping onto new hardware always makes you consider exactly how you’re going to integrate it into your life, but my intentions this time around were pretty clear.
