Your wife needs a new laptop, but doesn't know what to get? Now may not be the best time. Walt talks about his recent review of the Toshiba Radius 12 4K, and he and Nilay uncover a common thread of laptop deficiency in the past few years. But change is in the air, and new, worthy laptops are coming. So keep your credit card at hand, and join us in this quest.

We'd love your feedback and suggestions on how to continue improving the show. And of course, we'd love it if you subscribed in iTunes (and here's the direct RSS feed, if you like), along with The Verge's other great podcasts like Verge ESP, What's Tech? (which this week features Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff talking about online ads), and The Vergecast.
