A keylogger was found in a HP laptop last Sunday. If you do not know what a keylogger is, it is software which records keyboard inputs that users make while they are using their computers. You can probably already see how this can be a big deal. The keylogger was found in an laptop’s Synaptics Touchpad driver, or the SynTP.sys file. Unfortunately, if you have gotten an HP laptop recently there is a good chance that your laptop has been affected. The SynTP.sys file comes shipped on close to 500 of HP’s laptop models, including over 300 consumer grade laptops and over 170 commercial laptops.Read More →

This is the laptop you’re looking for. HP has unveiled a very awesome Star Wars Special Edition Notebook just in time for the holidays and the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. With a starting price of $699, this Star Wars Notebook is actually pretty fancy. It comes with a matte finish that is fingerprint resistance and the graphics that are printed all over the outer case are subtle yet striking and provide you with plenty of things to nerd over. Probably the coolest feature is the trackpad, which has been designed to look like the targeting computer of an X-Wing. Built-in galleries andRead More →

When HP launched its Stream 11 the laptop was a no-nonsense 11″ laptop that had a moderate price tag of only $199. In addition to that, the laptop came with a full version of Windows 8 and, despite its plastic shell, offered solid day-to-day computing along with decent battery life. All-in-all, the Stream 11 became the number one choice for laptop buyers on a budget. And while this laptop was pretty awesome, it is made even more awesome by the fact that HP has revealed that the Stream 11 is getting an update. The changes that come with this new Steam 11 are modest atRead More →

Sponsored By RentOurLaptops.com–A Brand By Rentacomputer.com As it has been recently, we’ve been seeing a rise of tablets and tablet-laptop hybrids. It seems as if the production of laptops has slowed, and that tablets have jumped up to the main forefront of mobile technology. I personally still use a laptop, and I genuinely enjoy it. I don’t really have a need for anything touchscreen, aside from my smartphone. To some, it might be all about application and what you need to do. To others, it could be about what looks the best and what is, in fact, more mobile. No one ever thought that somethingRead More →

Apple recently purchased Beats Audio for a whopping $3 billion. This was unbelievable news to lots of people, being that it was an absolutely staggering amount of money to invest into a headphone company. If you think about it though, it is one of the best moves Apple has ever made. They created the iPod, which turned into the iPhone. They created iTunes, which is the biggest music store in the entire universe and is also 100% to blame for the long and slow death of the CD, the CD player, and the home entertainment system as we used to know it. They pretty muchRead More →

The laptop still definitely has it’s place amongst all of the other tech devices out there, but the recent introduction of the Hybrid models shows that we are in the middle of a power shift.
