A $99 price tag on a tablet used to mean shoddy construction, poor battery life, a dim display and no access to the Google Play store. With the Amazon Fire HD 6, however, most of that has changed. You still get the Amazon App Store preloaded, but this tiny tablet features impressive parental controls, a user-friendly interface, solid performance and decent battery life in a colorful and sturdy design.
Here's looking at you, kid. Following the current trend of outfitting gaming laptops with ultra-high-resolution displays, Lenovo has launched the Y50-70 Touch. Priced at $1,499, the Y50-70 Touch adds a 3840 x 2160-pixel touch panel to the Y50's chassis. To further justify the price increase, Lenovo has upgraded the processor and storage, which translates into a small bump in performance. All of this is nice, but like its Y Series brethren, the Y50-70 is plagued with a bulky frame and short battery life, keeping it from being realistically portable.
