New video! Back in late 2010, Dell released their answer to the iPad: a 2-in-1 laptop running Windows 7 with a flippable screen. While it seemed like a cool machine at first, a closer look reveals that it's pretty much just a netbook with some tablet features thrown in.

New video! Yep... I've got another tablet to talk about today. This time, it's BlackBerry's PlayBook from 2011. What was supposed to be an answer to the iPad ended up being a complete failure. So today we're gonna discuss its fate, and see if it was really a bad product.

New video! Today we're exploring an old version of Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac. Back before Apple's transition to Intel processors, this program provided a convenient way to emulate an x86 system for running Windows-only software. But was it any good? Let's find out!

New video! Today we're checking out pearOS - a Linux distro that looks shockingly similar to macOS. But is it actually something that you'd want to use? Let's find out!

New video! So I found something weird on eBay again... and this time around it's a cash register system used at Scholastic Book Fairs. And today we're gonna mess around with it and see what it's capable of!

New video! So how bad can a cheap Android tablet from 2010 be? Well, today we're gonna find out! This thing sold for a fraction of the cost of a first gen iPad, and predates the release of Android 3.0 Honeycomb. So this should be fun...

New video! Here's a bit of a retro tech oddity. This prototype tablet PC was developed by Intel back in 2006, and was an engineering sample for the Ultra-Mobile PC standard. Which makes this one of the earliest UMPCs around!

Does anyone recognize this connector? I’m thinking it’s VHDCI (perhaps for a SCSI drive?) but not sure.

New video! So here's something you don't see everyday: an Android tablet made for use in prisons. And like a lot of prison tech, it's made with clear plastic and comes with a lot of limitations.

New video! Turns out somebody created a REAL custom operating system themed around the Windows RG flash parody that I explored a few years back. So today we're gonna check it out and see how it compares to the original!

Merry Christmas Eve! Usually there’d be a holiday themed video going out tomorrow, but unfortunately I’ve been sick the past few days. I’ve mostly recovered now so I’m planning on getting it out next week (hopefully before new years!)

New video! With Windows 10 support ended, there's plenty of people rethinking what OS they want to use moving forward. And for those looking to switch to Linux, Zorin OS provides a similar UI to what you're already used to. But is it the best Windows replacement out there?
