With a new school year just around the corner, Lenovo is offering up to 45 percent off its as part of the company’s back to school special. There are many systems available during this sales event, but below we have listed five systems that standout above the rest due to their excellent performance and price. Leading the charge is Lenovo’s 6th Gen ThinkPad X1 Carbon that weighs in at less than 2.5lb.

Ring’s close alliance with police departments continues to be a headache for the company with each new revelation. Amazon-owned Ring expends great effort to get its customers to use its Neighbors video sharing app, to which it gives police access. Thanks to newly leaked emails, we know Ring is actually coaching officers in ways to convince users to provide video footage without a warrant. Installing a Ring camera doesn’t automatically make your videos available to police, but Ring works hard to get people to download and use the Neighbors app. That connects to an online community portal where you can share video with other users.
As its name suggests, display was primarily designed as a solution for professional image editors and designers. But the company went a bit further and also equipped it with several gaming-oriented features that make it a true jack-of-all-trades. Design This display uses an ultra-wide IPS panel with a resolution of 3440×1440. The panel has a curvature of 1900R and measures 34-inches diagonally. In addition to the immersive allusion created by the curved panel, gamers will also appreciate the panel’s 100Hz refresh rate and its support for AMD’s FreeSync technology. It’s also worth noting that this display features two USB Type-C ports, one of which can be used as a video input and as a charging port for supported devices.
AMD has launched its 7nm “Rome” series of Epyc server CPUs, with up to 64 cores, 128 threads, 225W TDPs, and a maximum clock speed of up to 3.4GHz. While third-generation Ryzen has lit up the enthusiast boards and driven extremely strong channel sales in the last month, the server market is where AMD truly wants to play. The server market, in many respects, is where it’s at. And while corporate launches are basically an invitation for a company to make aggressive claims in the friendliest environment on Earth, the specific claims that AMD is making are eye-opening. AMD claims that Epyc sets no fewer than 80 new world records for CPU performance as measured in a wide range of industry-standard benchmarks, with the Epyc 7742 delivering 97 percent higher performance than Intel’s Xeon Platinum 8280L in peak SPECint 2017.
Huawei has been in a tough spot for the last few months. In May, the US government added the company to the “Entity List,” which imposes tight restrictions on exporting technology to the firm. Multiple suppliers and partners have severed ties with Huawei, including Google. With its access to Android services in doubt, Huawei has quietly spun up its homegrown Hongmeng operating system. Now, Chinese media reports that Huawei later this year. Before this kerfuffle, Huawei was the second-largest smartphone maker in the world, having finally passed Apple last year. The company had hopes of supplanting Samsung as the top OEM after it finally broke into the US market.
LG turned its V-series flagship smartphone into a vehicle to promote 5G early this year, and it looks like the company is already . Like the V50, this phone will have an optional dual-screen accessory, and it’ll most likely support select 5G networks out of the box. The only concrete information we have comes from a teaser invitation for LG’s IFA event in Berlin on September 6th. The video shows a phone with two screens — that’s not one screen that folds in the middle like the Samsung Galaxy Fold. Samsung’s hardware prowess is undeniably greater than LG, and even Samsung has struggled to make a folding phone work.
Today’s top deal is an that would work well as a home web server or as a small-business database. This may look your average business computer, but it’s actually designed to be an affordable server for small businesses. The system’s Xeon E3-1225 processor is well suited to handling multiple tasks, and it’s able to run for long periods without issue. Currently the system is marked down on Dell’s store page from$788.00 to $299.00 with promo code 299SERVER. This isn’t your typical 4K 55-inch TV. LG built it using an OLED panel that has superior color and black levels than any LCD display.
Loot boxes have been controversial since they were introduced. That controversy was turbo-charged back in 2017, when EA and DICE decided to make the entire economy of Star Wars Battlegrounds II entirely dependent on randomized loot box drops and insanely long grinds. That particular shameful cash grab may have exploded in the company’s face like the Death Star over Endor, but it kicked off an investigation into how loot boxes work across the globe. The FTC held a workshop on gaming loot boxes on Wednesday, August 7, to discuss issues surrounding this method of dispensing in-game loot. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo announced a new initiative at said workshop — one that will require all games published on their platforms to disclose the chance of receiving rewards.
Samsung has finally . This is the first time Samsung has released a pair of Note devices, mirroring the way it handles the annual Galaxy S refresh. That’s not the only change, though. These are also the first Samsung phones without headphone jacks, and Samsung has added even more features to the S Pen. Bigger, mostly better hardware The Note 10 and 10+ have a Snapdragon 855 chip and the fastest-available UFS 3.0 storage. The Note 10 comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but the Note 10+ bumps that to 12GB and either 256 or 512GB.
