A dive into the latest in laptop technology

Over the past few years, people have switched from laptops to tablets, and from tablets to phablets.  The smartphone technology is slowly trying to make laptops extinct, yet the laptop has a lot left in its arsenal that the smartphone will find hard to beat.

Even with OTGs (on-the-go) included in smartphones, the latest laptops offer USB Type C and Thunderbolt 3 ports in them.  The USB Type C is an addition to the classic laptop setup, enabling new models to carry data and electricity through a single wire.  This makes it a practical innovation for the person who would like to bring just one cable for their smartphone, laptop, and other gadgets.

Higher resolution screens offer better entertainment experience to gamers and enthusiasts.  A laptop with a full-HD screen can come with a low price tag, unlike years ago when this feature was only available in flagship models.  Switching from your smartphone to your laptop, you might think the latter has a dull screen.  Forget about that problem as new models come with OLED displays. 

2-in-1 PCs have the power of a laptop but can transform into a tablet.  This feature is incredibly useful for those whose work requires them to stay on their PCs for extended periods of time, but choose to unwind with the same gadget when they head home.  These PCs are perfect for when a person just wants to check e-mails while on a plane, or watch their favorite series by the fireplace.
