T here's a party going on and its name is Chromebook. Acer's newest entry comes via the Chromebook 13 – a 13-inch portable that ticks a lot of boxes and won't leave standing on the wall, idly by, at the Chromebook party. The Chromebook 13's body felt so...

During a private demo session with Nvidia, I was shown just what the Tegra K1 can do. Sure, I felt a bit of flex from the keyboard under the pressure of my fingers, but what were you expecting for a sub-$400 laptop? The trackpad was also a delight to use...
