Lenovo goes for a touch keyboard on their new Yoga Book.

  • by

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.

Review: HP Omen 15-ax043dx Gaming Laptop Review

  • by

Recently, HP presents a laptop perfectly designed for demanding gamers that want to move around a lot.

On this occasion we review the OMEN 15-ax043dx , a computer with outstanding features for its price range and one that will allow you to go anywhere and still be able to enjoy your favorite games without much trouble.

This laptop is a great computer for those gamers looking for both power and portability in a single device. Usually, portable computers benefit more the latter than the former, but in the case of the OMEN 15-ax043dx we see that the that the scale leans a little more towards quality because it is slightly larger and heavier than average. Its dimensions are approximately 38 cm in width, 25 cm in depth and 2.5 in height (when the laptop is closed) and it weighs practically two kilograms, although depending on the characteristics you set up, it may vary slightly.

Its design is quite elegant. The exterior is made of durable carbon fiber of a slightly textured black color while the interior is of the same color but without texture. It has red accents (very typical in recent brand gamer laptop designs) although fewer than in other computers, like Asus GL552JX. This laptop feels sturdy and well manufactured so you’ll hardly have manufacturing problems with external parts, as long as you take care of your system as you should.

iOS 10, iPhone 7 and the new MacBook Pros at the September 7th Keynote

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.

iPhone 7 or iPhone 6 SE

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.

New Apple

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.

GDDR6 Memory, is it really a good idea?

  • by

With the announcement by Samsung that they are already developing the next graphic memories GDDR6 our conception of the industry has revolutionized “a little”. In this article we are going to question whether this type of memory is really needed considering that the HBM2 is at hand, and in fact the HBM3 is now also under development.

It’s been a few days since the memory industry was shocked. Samsung announced the GDDR6, a graphic memory that will replace the current GDDR5X that equips the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs, SK Hynix has already announced that it is developing the HBM3 memory (Remember that HBM2 has not come out yet, but it will very soon with AMD Vega and NVIDIA Volta) and as you probably know the DDR5 memory is also under development.

Guide: AMD Radeon RX 460 vs RX 470 vs RX 480 Specs and Benchmark Comparison, which model should I choose?

  • by

The new AMD RX and NVIDIA GTX 1000 are now available for purchase, a new generation of graphics cards with which their manufacturers have followed a very clear and distinct strategy.

On one hand, AMD has presented three new products: the RX 480, the RX 470 and the RX 460, while NVIDIA has presented a total of five: the 3GB GTX 1060, the 6GB GTX 1060, the GTX 1080 and the GTX TITAN X Pascal.

As we can see, the folks at Sunnyvale have made a more controlled launch, betting on upper middle and lower middle range products, but are working on Vega, their new high end graphics card, planned to be launched in 2017.

This strategy is easily understood for one simple reason, which is that they are trying to capitalize on the investment they made on the Fury and Fury X, equipped with HBM memory cards and that are capable of great performance.
