ASUS may be turning heads with its concept dual-screen laptop here at Computex 2018, but let's not forget that other companies have tried similar things before. (ZTE's Axon M, anyone?) Lenovo, for one, isn't going to let ASUS hog the spotlight, and unveiled its second-generation Yoga Book at Intel's keynote at the show. This story is developing...

It won't be long until 5G-equipped computers are more than just tradeshow demos . At Computex today, Intel announced that it's partnered with Sprint to sell 5G PCs in its stores next year. There aren't many more details about the arrangement, and Sprint hasn't said much about how it'll roll out 5G following T-Mobile's acquisition. At this point, the two carriers are basically spitting out corporate propaganda . Intel is currently working with Acer, ASUS, Microsoft, Dell HP and Lenovo to deliver laptops and convertibles with the new wireless standard. With 5G's faster speeds and lower latency over 4G, it could be just what Intel needs to the dream of "always connected PCs" -- low-power devices with built-in mobile service -- a reality. Until then, Intel says we can expect 10 4G LTE-equipped devices from the likes of Dell, ASUS, A...

At Computex today, Intel made a brief but potentially momentous announcement: it's developed new power management technology for mobile displays that can cut battery consumption in half under some circumstances. The company didn't go into the details of how its Intel Low Power Display Technology works, but it's a combined effort with Sharp and Innolux, who are manufacturing the 1W LCD panel required for it. Sadly, you wouldn't be able to retrofit this battery life extender into your existing laptop. Another requirement is that you'd have to use Intel's graphics instead of Nvidia or AMD's superior alternatives. Even with the inevitable caveats, and without assuming that this will magically double the battery life of your future laptop or...

Intel is counting down to its 50th anniversary on July 18th, and to celebrate the company has a milestone announcement for Computex: the special edition Core i7 8086K CPU, its first to reach 5Ghz in boost mode. Basically, it's a souped-up version of its existing i7 lineup, but it should appeal to gamers who have been eager to own a 5Ghz CPU that doesn't require overclocking. And for those who don't mind tinkering, it's unlocked, so it could have some killer overclocking potential too. Intel will also hold a sweepstakes on its site to give away 8,086 chips. Additionally, the company revealed a few new mobile entries: the "Amber Lake" Y-series and "Whiskey Lake" U-series, which it claims can deliver up to "double-digit" improvements over the previous models. There's also going to be a new X-series and next-generation S-se...

Running out of juice continues to be one of the biggest frustrations of our generation, and the tech industry keeps trying to come up with ways to extend battery life. Intel's latest solution is something it's calling "Low Power Display Technology," which targets the most power-sucking part of most devices. Intel is co-engineering the technology and has already used it in a one-watt panel made by Sharp and Innolux, which it says can "cut LCD power consumption by half." At its keynote today, Intel's Gregory Bryant and his team showed a video of a Dell system that uses this panel, and said that it looped video for 25 hours. The new technology could add four to eight hours of battery life, which is a welcome addition. We haven't seen this system for ourselves yet of course, but so far this is an intriguing promise.

iOS developer Guilherme Rambo has been poking around the new iOS 12 beta, and code contained within appears to confirm something that has been rumored multiple times : Face ID is coming to the iPad. Videos and screenshots tweeted by Rambo show that iOS 12 contains hidden references to Face ID on the iPad, including the setup UI and relevant section of the settings menu. It's possible that these references could pertain to a feature that lets you unlock an iPad with an iPhone X, like how you can unlock a Mac with an Apple Watch, but that seems unlikely. The inclusion of the setup UI suggests it's for a device actually equipped with the Face ID sensors, which is something that has been credibly reported as planned for this year, so it...

On September 19th, 2018, VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5 reaches End of General Support. But what exactly does that mean? Well, after the 19th, VMware will no longer provide new security patches, bug fixes, maintenance updates, upgrades, or new hardware support. Also, you may no longer open phone support tickets with Global Support Services (GSS) for severity 1 outage issues. That's not to say all is lost, but your environment is in a precarious state. VMware will maintain Technical Guidance for vSphere 5.5 until September 19th, 2020. Support requests can only be opened via the self service portal for severity 2 and lower issues, so if you experience an outage, you are on your own. These tickets only apply to supported configurations as well. As a VMware Support and Subscription (SnS) customer, you need to upgrade before September 19th to avoid losing the full protection of a supported vSpher...

Asus has announced the ZenBook S, an ultraportable laptop with a unique hinge design. The company calls it ErgoLift, and it angles the keyboard at 5.5 degrees, which is supposed to be more comfortable during long periods of typing. The hinge also helps with the laptop's cooling system by offering more clearance from the surface below. That's probably for the best, because Asus has crammed U-series Core i7 or i5 processors into the Zenbook S' 12.9mm-thick frame, which weighs 1 kg (2.2 lbs). The display is 13.3 inches with options for 4K and 1080p resolutions, and the slim bezels offer a screen-to-body ratio of 85 percent. Physical connectivity is handled entirely by three USB-C ports — two with Thunderbolt 3 — and a headphone jack. ... Continue reading… via The Verge - Tech Posts https://ift.tt/2svPq96 ...

Asus has been perusing the World Health Organization's statistics, noticing that one in five people now suffer from high blood pressure, complications from which account for 9.4 million deaths worldwide. So the tech company is doing something to address that by introducing its new VivoWatch BP, a modern take on the typically cumbersome and immobile blood pressure monitors from the likes of Omron. Of course, Asus is hardly alone in trying, as Omron itself has shown off wrist-worn blood pressure monitors , but this latest VivoWatch is probably the most compact, lightweight, and streamlined design of its kind. Asus uses a combination of EKG (electrocardiogram) and PPG (photoplethysmography) sensors to achieve an accurate reading of the...
