Eighth Microsoft's Windows excited the novelty of his empire not only software developers, and mobile computing industry. Given the dual nature of the new Windows, manufacturers of laptops and tablets do not have to wait long, and have developed a device known as laptops 2 in 1, or transformers.

Such a device can be used as a laptop, tablet and the like. This is possible in two ways - either construction is removable and looks like a tablet with touch controls, or it convertible, where the laptop hinges have the ability to rotate 360 ​​degrees. So far, the developers could not boast of such a successful experience of technology transformation laptops tablets and vice versa, but experience shows that progress is not in place and all is gradually changing for the better.

Notebook-transformer Dell Venue Pro 11 7130

This tablet from Dell is ideal for business users, but it does have a few minor drawbacks. Its 2-megapixel front camera is only suitable for calls to Skype, as an 8-megapixel rear camera makes dark images. In addition, the sound he has a pretty weak.

This is something that applies to flaws. Basically, Dell Venue extremely multifunctional.Impressive Full HD panel high definition and powerful enough processor that allows you to perform almost any job.

You also have the option to purchase additional luxury keyboard with built-in rechargeable battery, which will help extend the battery life. For 747 dollars is an extremely valuable asset.

Notebook-transformer Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S

11.6-inch Lenovo Yoga 11S (price starts at $ 799) adaptive device that can be bent into position opposite to the position of the conventional laptop in standby mode when the keyboard is behind the screen, which is useful for making presentations.

It is equipped with HDMI, SD-card and USB-port and boasts a strikingly impressive processor Intel Core i7, 8GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD-drive to store information. The screen is quite clear and bright, but not Full HD, works well on Windows 8. We should also mention its ease and relatively small size, which makes it portable. It has all the same features that are inherent in a standard laptop, but also it is equipped with a QWERTY keyboard.

Laptop-Transformer Asus Transformer Book TX300

Asus Transformer Book TX300 (price starts from US $ 1499) is framed by polished aluminum body. This finish gives the device an elegant, finished look, so in terms of design it can be safely put shoulder to shoulder with the MacBook Air.

However, the highlight of this device is that the flick of the wrist screen detachable from the base of the keyboard, and this zamechatelnyy13-inch notebook turns into a 13-inch tablet, on which you can play games, sit on the Internet, watch movies. Along with 4 GB of RAM, the device has a processor Ivy Bridge Intel Core i7 3517U third generation. The fourth generation of processors, called Clover Trail and issued in early 2013, boasts higher speed and improved battery life.

Notebook-transformer Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro

Testing the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (price starts from US $ 1099), we can confirm that the display with 3200 x 1800 pixels is really delicious. Add to this an unusual form factor, which we really enjoyed working, backlit keyboard, and a fast SSD-drive with a reaction time similar to mobile devices.

However, based on our experience, such as thin ultrabooks at Haswell are supposed to work independently twice as long as Yoga 2 Pro, even with a full charge. When we tested this hybrid, it lasted about five hours without recharging. Even with cloud services such as Google Drive, SSD-drive volume of 128 GB do not want to recommend even your grandparents.

Thus, taking into account all the shortcomings, we can conclude that Yoga 2 Pro - winner among laptop hybrids simplicity and quality of the image. With a price tag of about $ 1,000, you can give Yoga 2 Pro in someone's hands and not even doubt that this one will be completely happy.

Laptop-Transformer Microsoft Surface Pro 3

To date, Microsoft Surface Pro 3 - is not only an amazing multi-function device from Microsoft, but the most convincing representative in the line of hybrids. And believe me, it's loud statement from a longtime skeptic about such devices is well worth it.

However, Surface Pro 3 (price starts at $ 799) has a number of drawbacks that can not be ignored by us, for example, the battery life of the battery. The idea is that the battery life Battery Pro 3 should be the same as the majority of ultrabooks, however, it is far from that of the flagship laptops and tablets from Apple. And the keyboard module Type Cover pretty expensive.

Whatever it was, the thing is that the price of this hybrid complete with Type Cover is still less than the price of the most affordable Ipad Air and 13-inch MacBook Air together. Theoretically, this hybrid is more powerful than any gadget from Apple, not to mention most other comparable price laptops and tablets. Yes, Surface Pro 3 is not ideal, but today it is the most striking example of transformation into a tablet laptop and vice versa.

Design

Samsung has finally jumped as far as building materials are concerned, has an air much premium to its Galaxy S6,something that generations ago that he had demanded and finally decided to carry out part rear glass and metal frames have been his choice. As regards the visual aspect, there are some changes but still the continuous line of his predecessors.

For its part, HTC has decided to maintain his family line One M, a design with few changes where the most visually striking is on your main camera, otherwise we can say that this HTC One M9 is very similar to HTC One ( M8), perhaps too much on the front. Which does not mean is that they have done a great job in their finishes and remains the terminal premium par excellence.

HTC M9

Hardware

Here are enough fabric to cut, Koreans have bypassed Qualcomm and have a firm commitment to mount a Samsung Exynos 7420 processor 7 Octa, where one of its main features is the process of manufacturing 14 nanometer FinFET.

The Taiwanese have opted for the very powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 in principle is a Overinsurance bet,although the overall performance of these processors should be quite up to par. Another issue is the scene behind it, where the developer community is much more akin to Qualcomm and that can be a major handicap.

Software

The two flagships will come to market, as was to be expected with the latest version of Android Lollipop available, here are the most important differences in their intrusive layers of personalization and how well optimized they are.

To assess how well they feel HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz on these two new phones have to carefully try to give a fair result, even if we rely on their predecessors, HTC Sense takes several generations passing his hand over his face to the Samsung TouchWiz . Time will tell which is better.

Screen

Samsung has returned to bet on the 2K-and it did with the Galaxy Note 4 - and for qHD Super AMOLED technology that looks fabulous and with brightness and very good viewing angles. Will have to see if the jump FullHD the QHD is more advantageous or not, we know that is almost imperceptible to the human eye in these screen sizes and so if we appreciate those who have or have had smartphones with this resolution is draining battery terminal overheating and in some cases some increase in lag. We'll have to see if the giant company is able to correct these errors.

For its part, HTC has been much more conservative and has maintained the screen with HD resolution and size of 5 inches, it will certainly have a better battery consumption and enviable fluency. At least on paper.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy S6 features a 16 megapixel sensor with focal 1.9, and the front camera, May 1 megapixel. Few changes to the Samsung Galaxy S5, else will see the post processing it has.

Instead the new HTC One (M9) of the Taiwanese firm has shelved its UltraPixel technology -demandado by many users-for the main camera, and has chosen numbers, as we see with 20 megapixel sensor focal 2.0. For the front left his 4 megapixels with said technology has caused so much controversy but I think a success for selfie camera.

Conclusion and personal opinion

Both the HTC One M9 as the Samsung Galaxy S6 have improved in many aspects, many people walk demanded, although they have also given way to criticism, design too continuity in the terminal HTC with black frames that weigh its size and low battery, lost slot for external memory cards and protection against water will have everyone talking in the Samsung device.

If I have to choose rooting for the HTC One M9, although continuity, it seems a spectacular design and change into his chambers he calls me a lot. In addition, HTC Sense I like much more than TouchWiz and I think having opted for a screen FullHD will your processor, another important point literally fly. For me it's clear winner.

What is your favorite, the Samsung Galaxy S6 or HTC One M9? Feel free to leave your opinion in the form of comment ..

Apple meets with Mexican regulators ahead of the launch of Apple Watch

Five Apple executives met last Wednesday with the president of the Federal Telecommunications Institute of Mexico Gabriel Contreras and other commissioners to "discuss advances in health care devices," according to an agenda posted on the website broadcast regulator yesterday by Bloomberg .

Not only does the sign of meeting planned clock available internationally, but also highlights efforts to ensure the ability of the clock to collect health data complies with local regulations.

Bloomberg has identified Apple executives who met with Mexican regulators as Afshad Mistri, a manager of global market for health services, and Kalinda Raina a senior manager of global privacy.

Mexican regulator Neither Apple nor reviewed the news.

In December 2013, Apple met with the Food and Drug Administration of the United States on medical devices and last year with the Federal Trade Commission of the United States to demonstrate the device and its applications for health.

The Wall Street Journal earlier this week said that the clock will not be the digital doctor that could have been because Apple removed a number of functions related to the health of the first generation model stringent FDA requirements.

From $ 349 for the base model (prices of other editions clock still unknown), clock Apple will go on sale in April.

Sources reported that the company ordered six million watches provider based in Taiwan Quanta, responsible for mounting the device.

According to JP Morgan, by the time the watch launches have 400 million potential customers. The investment firm has projected that five percent of iPhone owners compatible potentially could purchase the device before the end of 2015.

The wristwatch is not a standalone device and requires an iPhone for GPS and Wi-Fi, limiting its appeal to the Apple faithful.

LG G WATCH, WATCH FOR ADDICTS ANDROID

Source:lg.com

Google's proposal for the field of wearable devices begins to take shape. As widely rumored, LG and Google announced Tuesday at the inaugural conference Google I / O, the LG G Watch -the first device advertised by the operating system and may pre-order for $ 229. It is the first foray Android Wear on the market and the debut of the South Korean firm in the competition of smart watches. But how is this device? Who is it for?


Out, it is a much more "human" clock most other smartwatches market. Its strap is removable and its screen is smaller and thinner than some conventional watches. It has no side buttons or anything other than a 1.65-inch touchscreen IPS LCD. Is loaded with a 'dock' which is connected via USB. This prevents user confusion. Although LG does not commit to a time of battery life, talk to some people who have used it for some time and say that with heavy use, can last from one day to two.

Navigation is also simple and is based on basic touch gestures. You change screens with a 'swype' top down and take action on them with lateral slides. The only way to introduce information is through voice commands, such as Android. When listening smartwatch " OK Google "begins to seek information. It also allows dictate text messages and expect developers to create new options soon.

The basic device has a sensor that detects the orientation and direction of motion. That lets you interact with your phone. For now, Google announced that Android L will be able to tell if the user has an Android Wear it on your wrist and thus may avoid asking the PIN to unlock the phone. This is essential so that the watch can provide real-time indication of direction and movement, in conjunction with Google Maps. However, as in the subject of voice, the true revolutionary uses of the hardware are coming and depend on the creativity of the developers.

Android depth

It would be unfair to ask Google a comprehensive portfolio of applications and services for a device that takes less than a day in the market. But on the other hand, what we saw in the conference makes it clear that, at least for now, the clock can only be useful for 'power users' Android. That is, for those who only have one or more Android devices, but for those who orient their lives with the tools of Google.

IT IS A SECOND SCREEN OF GOOGLE NOW

Until new apps and services, Android Wear is basically a second screen of Google Now. For those who do not know, Google Now is a service that Google displays contextual information to users based on their location, your search history and what they have in their Gmail emails. For example, if you have a reservation of tickets or hotel, shows them the flight status and basic data which will be staying. If they are traveling, shows basic cards on nearby attractions and other tools, like a clock that tells time in the city or country where the user spends most of the time.

The point is that Google Now only works well if the user has all your information tools that ecosystem: if your mail and calendar are from Google, if you recorded the location of his home in Google Maps and if your browsing history, searches and interests are associated with a Google account. Although not exclusive to Android, Google Now works much better in that operating system.

In fact, the current version of Android Wear has no support for computers with other operating systems. It is likely that this function comes in the future and is critical to Google if you want to amass its 'wearable' operating system and attract more manufacturers. But for now, Android Wear devices are specifically designed for the more 'hard' Android users. That is, for those who already belong to the fold of Google.

When new applications, options and the product is more mature, that could change.
