[ad_1] The usual precautions apply. The motherboard has to be insulated with dielectric grease to fend off any accidental drops of water. Likewise, paper towel lines the gap between each memory slot, and then yet more paper towel wraps around the pot and memory sticks, to soak up condensation. A small fan helps blow the […]

Intel’s Project Athena laptops can sense when you’re near
[ad_1] All these laptops are attractive, thin and light devices that meet Athena requirements. That means they should deliver at least nine hours of battery life at a minimum level of brightness (250 nits), get up to four hours of power in 30 minutes of charging, and cost just slightly more than $800. They’ll also […]
Microsoft teases a ‘modern OS’ with ‘seamless updates’
[ad_1] According to Parker — and outlined in a corresponding Microsoft blog post — the company’s future OS will provide a set of “enablers” and “delighters,” taking care of things such as seamless updates, security by default, sustained performance and constant connectivity. Parker made continual references to “a modern OS,” touching briefly on features such […]
Mediatek’s 5G chipsets are ready for cheaper next-gen phones
[ad_1] MediaTek hardware is a mainstay of lower-end devices, like Nokia’s 5.1 Plus / X5 and Oppo’s R15, where price is a big factor. This 7-nanometer chip should hopefully offer a decent mix of power efficiency and speed, although don’t expect anyone at Qualcomm to feel too worried. The silicon will be available for companies […]
Alienware’s slim gaming laptops are getting a bold new look
[ad_1] On an even geekier note, Alienware says the m15 and m17 will feature eight-phase voltage regulation for graphics, and six-phase regulation for its CPU. Basically, that means they’ll deliver cleaner power to those components, allowing you to game at top speeds for longer periods. Together with the company’s automatic overclocking technology, which pushes the […]
Intel’s 10th-gen Core CPUs will let you game on ultraportables
[ad_1] The heart of the 10th-gen CPUs is Intel’s Sunny Cove architecture, which features a quad-core, eight-thread design and speeds up to 4.1GHz. In comparison, the 8th-gen i7-8565U scaled up to 4.6GHz, while the previous i5 and i3 CPUs topped out at 3.9 GHz. We don’t have the full breakdown of specs for the new […]
Watch AMD’s Computex 2019 event in nine minutes!
[ad_1] Computex has kicked off in Taipei today, so probably before you were even awake, AMD revealed its ambitious new CPU and GPU hardware additions. It’s going after NVIDIA’s middle-weight RTX 2070 graphics with the Radeon RX 5700. Not only will it be the first 7nm consumer video cards out there, the series will also […]
ASUS’ latest WiFi 6 router looks appallingly normal
[ad_1] Spec-wise, these new routers use Broadcom chipsets and support up to tri-band 6,600Mbps WiFi connectivity. That’s significantly faster than the maximum 4,804Mbps speed on their predecessor, the RT-AX92U in the AiMesh AX6100 kit. Furthermore, the new routers use WiFi 6 for both backhaul (between mesh routers) and front-haul (between routers and client devices) connections, […]
Acer brings NVIDIA’s Quadro RTX 5000 to its ConceptD 7 laptop
[ad_1] Acer hasn’t felt the need to mess around with the existing system, which makes sense since the ConceptD line was only announced in April. That means it’s still offering a ninth-generation Core i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVME storage and that 15.6-inch, Pantone-validated 4K display. The one thing that Acer neglected to mention — yet […]
Razer updates the Blade with NVIDIA’s new Quadro RTX 5000
[ad_1] A 4K OLED touchscreen will ship on the 15-inch model, which will carry a (ninth-generation) Intel Core i7-9750H CPU inside. The larger of the pair gets a 120Hz 4K panel and Intel’s (ninth-generation) Core i9-9880H CPU, up from the Core i7 currently available. If users are still hungry for power, then both models can […]
