On The New Screen Savers for April 28, 2018, with Jason Howell and Rich DeMuro:
- Everyone is doing it except Apple. Those pesky Mac laptops have no touchscreens. We'll meet Kevin Kwok who can turn your MacBook Pro into a touchscreen for around $1!
- There are a lot of tricks out there to learn guitar. What if you could learn chords using light? Jason shows you the Fret Zealot which uses LED lights mounted on the fretboard.
- And speaking of light, Megan Morrone shows us the modular smart-light system from Nanoleaf.
- We'll answer a Call for Help about choosing the right Android phone, plus there are more of your questions in the Mail Bag.
