Pizza Boxes Are Probably More Attractive to Thieves Than Laptop Bags

-
People suggest carrying your laptop in a scuffed duffle bag, because laptop bags are so obviously full of goodies worth nicking. To a hungry thief, a pizza box carried under-arm would prove even more tantalising. (Gizmodo)

PC Mag Dustproof and immune to splashes and strong jets of water Panasonic Toughbook 40 Best Rugged Laptop - The Panasonic Toughbook 40 is an almost indestructible, ultra-customizable 14-inch armored data carrier. It's fully rugged, which puts it in a class above semi-rugged systems like its 14-inch peers the Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and Panasonic's own Toughbook 55 Mk2. The Toughbook 40 can take a six-foot fall and carries MIL-STD 810H, MIL-STD 461G, and IP66 ratings—it's dustproof and immune to splashes and strong jets of water, though it can't survive actual immersion underwater as some smartphones can. Heavy and expensive All of the ruggedization makes the Toughbook 40 heavy and expensive, of course. Expect to pay north of $4,000 for this 7-pound brute if you're buying a single laptop. But nearly everyone who buys the Toughbook 40 isn't just buying one. They're buying a fleet for a police force, line technicians, or other similar organizations, which ty...

  Alienware m16 R2 Photo: PCMag The Alienware m16 R2 is a rarity among modern laptops. That’s because normally after a major revamp, gadget makers like to keep new models on the market for as long as possible to minimize manufacturing costs. However, after its predecessor launched last year sporting a fresh design, the company reengineered the entire system again for 2024 while also limiting how big of a GPU can fit inside. Alienware was able to rework the m16 into a gaming laptop with a sleeker design, it’s more compact, has longer battery life and a more affordable starting price than before. The m16 R2 has a single display option: a 16-inch 240Hz panel with a QHD+ resolution (2,560 x 1,600). It’s totally serviceable and for competitive gamers, that high refresh rate could be valuable during matches where potential advantage matters.

  Apple M4 iMac: The best all-in-one gets a lot faster Apple's iMac 2024.* foto:Engadget The 2024 iMac looks the same as ever, but there’s an update that promises to dramatically transform the lineup. The boost in base memory that finally lifts the entry-level models from a deplorable 8GB to 16GB. That, along with the new chips, promises to finally make the $1,299 iMac cost effective for most buyers. The key updates are inside with the M4 processor, which is available in two variants. The base $1,299 model comes with an 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. All other versions have 10-core CPUs, 10-core GPUs and four Thunderbolt ports, starting at $1,499 with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s no M4 Pro option, and therefore no Thunderbolt 5 ports on any 2024 iMac. Every version but the base model also has gigabit ethernet (on the power brick) and Touch ID on the Magic Keyboard.
