Yesterday afternoon, Lenovo held a launch event for the ThinkPad Tablet in Union Square, Manhattan. The ThinkPad Tablet is its newest 10.1-inch Android tablet. The party had the usual tiny food, DJ, and drinks as well as a number of ThinkPads and vendors. As you can probably tell Lenovo is aiming for the business market with this device, which comes with a its own special stylus built in. And Lenovo is marketing a keyboard/case for an extra $100.

A suite of productivity software and its own app store, which already has 200 or so applications, which are all tested by Lenovo for viruses and bugs. Of the apps on display, we liked the remote desktop viewing app by Citrix, which allows you to use your Windows PC from your Android ThinkPad with minimal lag. Two apps from MyScript were also available, which showed some impressive handwriting recognition and conversion. According to reps, you can take a novel’s worth of handwritten notes and convert them to text instantly. Not bad.

OnePlus 13 vs. iPhone 16 Pro: Can the flagship killer take another head?

OnePlus looks like it's hit another one out of the park with this year's OnePlus 13. The enthusiast brand's latest flagship launched in China in late October, and this week, the company officially announced it will be landing in North America on January 7, 2025. As one of the first mainstream phones to be powered by Qualcomm's bleeding-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, it should bring significant improvements in the OnePlus 13's performance, battery life, and photographic prowess compared to its predecessor.

This also puts the OnePlus 13 first in line to challenge Apple's 2024 flagship. This year, the iPhone 16 Pro has raised the bar with Apple's A18 Pro chip that powers new Apple Intelligence features and turns the smartphone into a gaming powerhouse. There's also a clever new Camera Control and studio-quality cinematography features. Does Qualcomm's latest silicon give the OnePlus 13 enough of an edge, and has the smartphone maker put it to good use? Let's dig in and find out how these two measure up to each other.

I tracked my sleep with a smart display, ring, and watch. This is my favorite

Since I had a heart attack four years ago, I’ve been on a journey to understand my health. A crucial part of my recovery and focus has been my sleep, and it'smade even more important by the fact that my heart attack took place in the middle of the night while I was fast asleep. Thankfully, I woke up, but our sleep can tell us a lot about our underlying health.

Virtually every wearable now offers some form of sleep tracking, but like most things in technology, not all devices are created equal. Beyond just data, there’s also the question of which is most comfortable to track your sleep, which device gives you the most reliable data, and ultimately, how you can ensure you track your sleep wherever you are.
