Dynabook may not be a familiar name in notebooks yet, but the laptop-maker-formerly-known-as-Toshiba isn't letting that stop it from launching a new range powered by Intel's latest 11th Gen Core processors. The Dynabook Portégé X30W-J and Portégé X30L-J can be under 2 pounds in weight, but still manage to include up to Core i7 chips and Intel Iris Xe graphics.
HONOR has introduced its latest wares at IFA 2020, the Berlin-based consumer electronics tradeshow -- one taking place a bit differently this year than in past years due to the pandemic. The company has new laptops and smartwatches to show off, including the model leading its new lineup, the HONOR MagicBook Pro. Some of the new products will go up for preorder starting this weekend with others following later on this month.
In the realm of laptops, MSI has built a reputation for itself in the gaming space, but that all changes today with the company introducing its first laptops aimed squarely at business and enterprise customers. The group of 10 laptops were announced today during a livestream event, and as you might expect following yesterday's Intel news, these laptops will use Intel's new 11th-gen Core laptop CPUs.
Acer has revealed its latest notebook, and while the Spin 7 may look like a regular convertible, inside there's something that sets it apart from the rest of the company's range. The first laptop to use Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G platform, it eschews x86 processors from Intel and AMD, looking instead to the lengthy battery life and connectivity that our smartphones enjoy.
Intel isn't having a great 2020 both in terms of business and image, and it isn't completely the fault of COVID-19 alone. It took quite a big PR hit when Apple announced its ARM-based Silicon coming to Macs which served to magnify Intel's much-discussed limitations when it comes to power efficiency and mobility. Its response is its 11th-gen Core processors and Intel Evo branding. Intel got its PC partners to back it up and ASUS may have just gone overboard with no less than 13 new computers.
Despite the name and the proximity of its announcement to the Galaxy Z Fold 2, it might be too easy to think of the Galaxy Book Flex 5G as Samsung's take on a foldable laptop. Sure, the convertible laptop does fold and flip over backward but in the more traditional way that all 360-degree hinged laptops do. The Galaxy Book Flex 5G is, instead, Samsung's first 5G laptop that it is designed, according to the company, to be able to adapt and change with users in this fast-changing new world.
A study published this week showed experimental evidence that batteries of the future might very well have double or triple the power capacity available in standard lithium-ion batteries today. This could eventually lead to smartphones with batteries that allow you to go without a recharge for several days at a time. It could also mean that phone batteries will last just as long as they do now, but with a smaller footprint, allowing innovative new uses of the extra space.
Intel has officially revealed its 11th-generation Tiger Lake Core CPUs, and with them, the company is looking to take the fight to AMD in the realm of laptops. During its announcement today, Intel said unequivocally that the 11th-gen Core CPU is "the world's best processor for thin and light laptops," and that the series will comprise nine new SKUs across the Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 lines.
This week the folks at Intel revealed a refresh of the Acer Swift 5 and Acer Swift 3. Acer's Swift 5 was newly verified as an Intel Evo platform notebook, and both the Swift 3 and Swift 5 were given access to 11th Gen Intel Core Processors. These devices will be available for purchase starting in November in North America.
The first MacBook powered by Apple silicon will arrive later this year, at least according to industry insiders, and it'll reportedly be sporting a 12-inch Retina display. The insiders go on to claim that Apple will release the first iMac system sporting its own silicon next year, as well, and that this alleged model may also feature Apple's own GPU hardware.
ASUS today announced the availability of two different ZenBooks: the ZenBook S and the ZenBook Flip 13. While both have somewhat similar specifications (especially when it comes to the CPU), they're both also quite different in terms of build and marquee features. They'll both be available soon as well, with both laptops launching in the next few weeks.
Gaming laptops aren't usually known for their sleek styling, but the new Lenovo Legion Slim 7i aims to change that. Latest in the company's portable gaming machines, it strikes a balance between performance - including up to Core i9 processors and GeForce RTX 20560 graphics - and portability, in an 18mm-thick anodized aluminum chassis.
