  • Microsoft’s own tablets, including the Surface Pro and the 2-in-1 Surface Book 2, performed better than expected, and Windows 10 tablet sales grew 1% compared to the last quarter. It looks like Microsoft’s devices are helping drive the growth for Windows tablets, with Microsoft’s devices being embraced by students and enterprise customers. Apple shipments grew 1% year on year for a 28% share of the tablet market, with the new iPad being suggested as a driver of sales. Only Huawei increased its s

  • As the iFixit folks observe, the battery is a small affair with a pretty lean capacity of 26.12Wh. Those conducting the teardown further noted that the similarly-sized 9.7-inch iPad from this year has a 32.9Wh battery, so that’s still around a quarter bigger than the Surface Go. This might go some way to explaining why we weren’t hugely impressed with the battery life in our Surface Go review – although to be fair, it wasn’t terrible. That said, no tablet is particularly easy to repair, and Surf

The human vs machine challenge began with a warmup match against the audience, which OpenAI won with ease. It then faced a team of some of the world’s top players (Blitz, Cap, Fogged, Mer

  • While Google has been busy adding updates to its Maps app , the search giant took its time announcing the most important one yet. When you open Google Maps on your desktop computer and zoom all the way out, the world now appears as a 3D globe rather than the usual flat two-dimensional map. Google says that its three-dimensional Globe Mode fixes that problem. With 3D Globe Mode on Google Maps desktop, Greenland’s projection is no longer the size of Africa. While the change brings Maps in line wit

  • The camera app that Google puts on its Pixel phones is one of the best in the business, and now it looks like that same Google camera app is heading to Chrome OS too – it’s appeared in the developer channel of the software for the Pixelbook and may well start showing up on other Chromebooks as well. That would significantly improve the photo-taking capabilities of supported Chrome OS devices, and maybe even introduce extra features like a slow-motion video mode and the ability to launch the smar

  • Dual-SIM phones are hugely popular in Asia, and there’s been some speculation that Apple is going to include dual-SIM support in one of its 2018 iPhones – the cheaper 6.1-inch model that will have an LCD rather than an OLED screen, to be exact. Now a new report from Taiwan says the dual-SIM iPhone is real, but it’s going to be a China exclusive. According to supply chain sources, Apple is actually working on four different models, with the dual-SIM 6.1-inch LCD iPhone engineered specifically for

  • Like most fans, I remember the story—the touching, often harrowing moments protagonists Joel and Ellie share. But how did Naughty Dog make its characters so believable? Naughty Dog shows similar restraint throughout, with long stretches of silence or off-screen action, leaving it up to your imagination to fill in the gaps. The writing is purposeful and voice acting exemplary—but The Last of Us’s cast brings scenes together in ways few game casts can. Individually, the writing, acting, character

  • We think we know that Apple is revealing three new iPhones next month, with one of them tipped to be a 6.5-inch iPhone XI Plus model (name to be confirmed). Thanks to some developer digging in the iOS 12 beta code, we might now have some idea what it’s going to look like too.

Even a 2.1 channel setup, where there are only left and right speakers, require that you position them symmetrically. Even if other brands introduce speakers with Google Home built-in, you’ll be able to mix and match all those different speakers and
