Samsung Chromebook Pro Is Available With A Backlit Keyboard

-

For those who have wanted a slightly better Chromebook that features a fully backlit keyboard, Samsung's beast of a flagship Chromebook, the Samsung Chromebook Pro, now comes with one. The only catch is that it can currently only be bought directly from Samsung's website. There may be inventory delivered to third-party sellers or Amazon at some point in the future but, for now, that's the only place to pick one up. The benefits of a backlit keyboard are obvious. For those who have a more difficult time finding specific keys or who may just not want to put in the extra efforts in a dark room, the improvement is immediately noticeable. On the other hand, this will almost certainly cut into the battery life. However, this Chromebook is Energy Star-rated, so that negative effect is likely to be negligible.

As far as Chromebooks go, there are plenty of worse laptop-likes that this could have been offered on. The new model, designated by Samsung as model number XE510C25-K01US, is nearly identical to the previously released Chromebook Pro model number XE510C24-K01US. In fact, the only difference seems to be that the keyboard is of the backlit variety. That means buyers will be getting one of the most powerful devices available running Google's Chrome OS, with the latest features, an S Pen, and a convertible multitouch screen. Android apps are also included with this particular device. For specs, the Chromebook Pro is a metal frame, housing a 12.3-inch 400 nit display with a 2400 x 1600 resolution. Inside, that's driven by Intel's Core m3 Processor, coupled with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 515 for graphics. That's clocked at 2.2Ghz backed by 32GB of super-quick eMMC storage and 4GB of RAM. So there's plenty of power to play around with. Charging of the 5,140mAh battery is provided via USB Type-C and a second of the same port type can be used for HDMI output.

Considering that the price of the new backlit keyboard-enabled Chromebook Pro costs exactly the same as one without that feature on Samsung's site, that all stacks up to a really good deal. This may, in fact, now be one of the best Chromebooks that money can buy. So anybody interested in checking it out for themselves will almost certainly want to head over to the button below.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail.

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

-

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
