Dell was mocked at its own press launch for copying Apple’s iPhone naming convention for its PCs. Both laptop and desktop PCs are now divided into three tiers, whose names are taken straight from the iPhone line-up: Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max.

At CES 2025, Hyper unveiled the HyperSpace Trackpad Pro – a first of its kind. Apple’s Magic Trackpad, so far, has been the only good external multi-touch trackpad on the market. Hyper aims to change that with this new product, and unlike the Magic Trackpad, it’ll also work super well for Windows users.
