The RDP ThinBook 1403p is available at an impressive Rs 11,999 (Rs 13,999 with the Windows 10 Pro), and the laptop still manages to offer decent hardware. The best part, however, is that the RDP ThinBook 1403p comes preloaded with optional Windows 10 Pro, albeit at a premium. Powering the laptop is an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor tagged along with 2GB of RAM. On the storage front, the laptop offers 32GB of onboard storage along with a microSD card slot that can further accommodate up to 128GB....

Microsoft was kind enough to make file search fast and easily accessible in Windows 7 and now 8/8.1. This capability is granted by the indexing service which constantly scans files and keeps them ready for a user enquiry. With that being said, Windows 8 is somewhat different when it comes to fast file search, as the familiar Start Menu hasn’t made the cut from Windows 7 and so the very useful search bar is now a charm which to be honest, doesn’t do justice to its predecessor....

air coolers fan-less coolers (also known as heatsinks) water coolers So, I tried to make a list of the best known air coolers in the market. Based upon performance mostly, but also upon noise and other aspects. So here they are: 1. Noctua NH-D14/SE2011 In my opinion, the Noctua NH-D14 and the SE 2011 (for the new LGA 2011 from Intel) are the best air coolers right now. It combines exquisite craftsmanship with the very best materials, copper heatsink and 6 heatpipes with aluminum cooling fins and 2 Noctua fans with 1300 RPM....

you can’t host your own server, provides measly 2 GB storage, it’s not open source no remote access to computers. If you are using Dropbox for a long time I am sure you will be so impressed with its ease of use and feature-richness, that you might not have cared to look for an alternative. But there are quite a few new (and old) services which can really give Dropbox a run for their money....

iOS 14 Features The biggest changes come in the form of home screen elements that are now closer to Android than ever, along with changes to some default iOS apps like Maps, Messages, CarPlay, etc. Let’s elaborate on each of them. 1. App Library App Library is essentially an app drawer for your iPhone. If you’ve used an Android device, you would probably know that all the apps on an Android smartphone are listed in an app drawer that is separate from the home screen....

Practically, the battery cannot keep up with your power requirements without the need of re-charging every 8 hours or so. On the helping side there are a lot of applications that promise to optimize and conserve energy, and they do, but the gain is too little, too late. The only thing left is to buy an extension battery case, one which may even double the energy life of your shinny aluminum smartphone, for a price....

The reason why Apple was putting services under the spotlight was that its traditional cash cow, i.e., the iPhone, had witnessed marginal growth in Q1 2016 and had actually declined in Q2 this year. But apart from highlighting services, Apple has been taking steps to transform itself into a services company truly. Some of those steps we’ll discuss in this article. 1. iPhone Upgrade Program Although a lot of people feel buying an iPhone is a one-time purchase, it’s a recurring activity in most countries where the iPhone is popular....

In a letter obtained exclusively by the New York Times, major investors of the company, which together own more than a quarter of Uber’s stock, asked Mr. Kalanick to leave immediately as Uber “needed a change in leadership”. Following a slew of heated discussions, Travis agreed to step down. However, he will continue to remain on Uber’s board of directors. His exit was a result of the continuous negative controversies Uber has been a part of including a series of sexual harassment cases, the video that went viral of Travis having a dispute with a driver and more....

As of now iPhone 7 uses an A10 chip that is manufactured by using the 16nm process and it is rumored that the next iterative iPhone upgrade will make use of a 10nm process. The exclusive contract for Apple’s A10 chip is indeed a big thing for the TSMC as it was earlier expecting only two-thirds of Apple’s orders for the chip while the rest will still be manufactured by Samsung....

1. Voice Support My biggest pet peeve with the Mi TV is the absence of voice support. Therefore, the only way you can type on it is to navigate around an onscreen virtual keyboard and click every time you want to input a character through the remote. So, if you plan to search a specific show, you will have to type its name and hope it shows up in the suggestion after a couple of letters....

There have been conventional ads, and clever ads too but the ones that we really remember are the wacky, edgy ones. No, they might not have always pleased the purist and some might even have been borderline offensive (hey, some have been removed from the official channels), but they always – and in all ways – grabbed attention. Which suited the brand just fine. Mind you, OnePlus does seem to have got a little more conventional with its advertising of late, but we are confident that the wackiness is still there, waiting under the surface to emerge....

But the Rearm Count Reset Tools make this process even easier as the whole process is automated. If the steps are followed carefully, you can use Windows 7 forever without cracking.

More importantly, though, this is a set of users service-oriented companies such as Google, Facebook are missing out on. Enter KaiOS, a startup based out of the United States which is trying to solve that exact conundrum. Its operating system for dumb phones brings smarter features and modern applications while still retaining the simplicity of the interfaces you find on keypad-equipped handsets. And it’s succeeding quite expeditiously. KaiOS is already powering over 40 million devices worldwide including India’s most popular feature phone — JioPhone (the funkiest feature phone to ever exist), HMD Global’s banana phone aka the Nokia 8110, and more....

Turning tablets into laptops – Hybrids There is a recent trend in tablet computers, and it’s bound to catch on soon. Instead of releasing a standalone tablet, a few manufacturers have sold tablets along with keyboard docks. The result is a thin, lightweight, and ultra portable laptop computer. Manufacturers such as Asus, with the Transformer Prime, have led the charge here. Third party accessory manufacturers have gotten in, too, creating keyboard docks for many popular tablet lines, including the iPad....

Jon Snow would get the need that things live before they die. The time of iOS 9 is over, though it lived its life well. It’s time to ring in iOS 10. Tyrion Lannister understood the importance of books as instruments of honing the human mind. It would seem Apple has realised the same about the colour black, never mind its being prone to the odd abrasion. It takes a fair deal of courage to go against the established order....

As mentioned earlier the Mi A1 runs on Android One and it’s still not clear if one would be able to flash it with a MIUI ROM....

The Xiaomi Mi6 features a sumptuous build consisting of a four-sided curved 3D glass splash-resistant build enclosed in a glossy stainless steel chassis. The Dual-Camera setup houses two 12MP sensors, one wide-angle and a telephoto lens. Just like Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus, the setup allows for 2X Optical Zoom and lets you alter the depth-of-field for bokeh shots.
