The term “gaming” has invaded the PC market in a very profound way, there is basically no component or peripheral that does have the word “gaming” in its model. The latest one is the SSD XPG SX8000 from ADATA, a model with M.2 format and a high performance NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. It’s capable …
One of the advantages of USB Type-C is that it’s about a connector that is suitable for many “needs”: actually, it’s able to manage audio and video signals, and transfer energy. To avoid the necessity to use intermediate adapters and connectors, anyway, it’s required that the specs permit the several streams. In the case of …
ASUS is preparing to launch its new laptop model Zenbook UX410, noted for its narrow bezels, updating its hardware to Intel Kaby Lake processors and -we expect- a price more restrained than the big premium ultrabooks. Zenbook UX410 offers a 14 inches display but its 6mm bezels allow it to keep a total size equivalent …
NVIDIA published a job listing looking for an engineer to “help produce the next revolutionary Apple products”, and of course this made us assume that either both companies are in talks to use the new NVIDIA graphics cards in the next generation of Apple laptops, or they already have an agreement to do so.
In the past, Apple used to offer its computers with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, but for several product generations the people in Cupertino limited their options to either use an Intel integrated graphics or a dedicated AMD, leaving NVIDIA out of the equation. This appears to have changed, or at least it may be assumed since otherwise it would be absurd for NVIDIA to publish such job listing.
This impressive SSD from Samsung makes use of its 3D V-NAND MLC type memories with 3 bits per cell along with Samsung’s Epic controller and a PCIe 3.0 x8 port that lets it to achieve sequential read speeds of an astonishing 6,400 MB/s and a writing speed of 3,000 MB/s. Its random access speeds are …
After the disappointing and a bit incomprehensible launch of the GL553VW laptop, the company has now announced the launch of Asus ROG Strix GL702VM,a launch that makes way more sense and abandons the obsolete GeForce GTX 960M for a GeForce GTX 1060 equipped with 6GB of GDDR5 memory resulting in a remarkable difference in performance, …
Lenovo’s new Yoga Book is the company’s new 2 in 1, a market which they are leaders in and that they have been wanting to improve.
The most interesting and eye catching feature of the Yoga Book is the Instant Halo Keyboard, which is none other than a touch panel on which a keyboard is displayed, since the laptop doesn’t have a physical keyboard. This keyboard also serves as a touch panel and a tablet capable of sensing 2048 pressure levels which can be used with a stylus.
Inside a body 9.6 mm thick and weighing 690 grams lies an Intel Atom x5-Z8550 processor with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expandable storage (using SD cards) and even it’s own LTE modem with support for microSD. It also includes an 8.500 mAh battery which gives it a 15-hour battery life.
Since 4K monitors and TVs have been released, and with the arrive on the market of faster and faster SSD units, there will always be a more intense need to use performing connection interfaces, which can provide their contents satisfactorily. Notebooks, on the other hand, are always getting lighter and more compact, often at the expense of connectivity.
Ports and cables available today, do not let you keep pace with the constantly higher band request.
Thunderbolt 3 changes everything by revolutionizing the scenario. The interface now uses – in its third version – the new USB Type C connector, making the connection of every type of device possible then.
iOS 10, iPhone 7 and the new MacBook Pros at the September 7th Keynote
A week from now, Apple will have another one of their highly anticipated presentations where they will without a doubt update their smartphone line. The iPhone promises interesting changes and a more powerful processor, but it won’t come alone.
It still isn’t clear what the name of Apple’s new phone will be, but we do know for certain some of the new features and changes it will bring to the table. One of the main ones will be the addition of a double sensor which will allow you to take pictures with more depth of field options and new hardware effects with which we will be able to mess around. The main sensor will also certainly improve to compete with other flagship smartphone cameras like the new seventh generation Samsung Galaxy.
Another change, and a very polemic one for that matter, is that the new iPhone will get rid of the headphone jack. An analog connection that’s still appreciated by many people but that is easily adaptable to the digital jack on the phone. This will allow the new iPhone to gain a bit more room on the inside, and will take it one step further into the future, forgetting about analog remains.
There’s a lot of constant rumors on the internet about the launch of the next generation graphics cards from AMD. While everything indicates that the company will launch part of their new generation cards in October, AMD confirmed in a shareholders meeting that AMD GPUs for enthusiasts (Vega 10) will arrive during the first half of 2017.
At first we knew that AMD was going to push the launch of some Vega GPUs to October of this year, and actually everything indicates that the first ones will be presented on October 21st, the same day Battlefield 1 launches. Nevertheless, it is also well known that, as it happened with Polaris, AMD will divide future GPUs into two groups: Vega 10 and Vega 11.
