Microsoft plans to launch low-cost Surface tablets again

-
The company no longer wants to leave the field open for the Apple iPad. A 10-inch Intel-based model is expected to be launched before the end of the year for a price around $ 400.

In the second half of the year, the Surface tablet family is expected to host a new entry-level model. According to Bloomberg, Microsoft plans to launch a 10-inch tablet with Intel chip, for a price around $ 400. Currently, the Redmond company offers only high-end tablets Surface Pro with a rate that, for the latest generation, oscillates between 949 euros (Intel Core m3 configuration and 128 GB) and 3099 euros (Intel Core i7 and 1 TB configuration) ), which is not compatible with all scholarships.

This is not the first time that the firm of Redmond wants to position itself in the segment of entry-level tablets. Since 2015, the company has tried unsuccessfully to gain a foothold with the successive models Surface RT, Surface 2 and Surface 3. The production of the latter was stopped at the end of 2016. Since then, Microsoft has left the field open to Apple, which continues to offer tablets at much more competitive prices. The latest generation is available from 359 euros. It allows the Cupertino company to target, among other things, the specific market of education.

Lighter than a Surface Pro, but less autonomous

With the next tablet, Microsoft will try to catch the bandwagon. According to Bloomberg, the new tablet will be 20% lighter than a Surface Pro, and should therefore end up with a weight around 600 grams. Its autonomy should be around 9 hours. It's still worse than the iPad, but it's getting closer.

The device would also benefit from a USB Type C interface and should be available in different variants, with 64 or 128 GB storage and Wi-Fi / LTE connectivity. The edges of the screen would also be more rounded than those of the Surface Pro. Finally, Microsoft should offer a series of accessories cheaper. Difficult indeed to associate with an entry-level device a stylus to 109 euros and a keyboard to 179 euros.

We tested the Nuraphone, the headset that fits your hearing

-
Image
The Nuraphone is an innovative model both for its sound customization system and the design of its headphones. Is it enough to make a difference? How to offer the best possible sound for headphones? The Australian company Nura have tackled this thorny problem and have designed a revolutionary model: the Nuraphone, sold about 400 euros. This helmet is distinguished by its design that combines the circum-auricular and the intra-auricular. The inside of the earpiece has a tip that is placed at the entrance of the ear canal to transmit the sound more directly than with conventional supra or circumauricular models. According to the manufacturer, the tip penetrates less into the duct than the in-ear headphones, which explains the unique size. We would have liked the choice between several sizes and people who do not like the headphones may not like this model either. Another potential problem often related to ear-phones, the restitution of the bass. To avoid this problem, Nura ...

They turned Amazon Echo into an audio snitch

-
Image
Hackers have managed to create, in the smart enclosure, a seemingly innocuous application that continuously records conversations. With a microphone, smart speakers sometimes cause discomfort in some users who wonder if they do not record their words constantly. Checkmarx's hackers have just given some grit to this conspiracy theory as part of Amazon Echo. They developed a calculator in the form of a "skill", that is to say a voice application that extends the functionality of Amazon Echo. Just say "start calculator" to access and make calculations. Until then nothing abnormal. The problem is that the application continues to record the words of the user even if they are unrelated to the application. The speeches are then transformed into text and sent to the developer of the skill. To achieve this, hackers used a flaw in Amazon Echo's programming interface settings. Normally, a skill is supposed to turn off automatically after a certain time, when...

Dolby Digital, Atmos or DTS ... what do these audio technologies hide?

With the multiplication of audio formats, not easy to navigate to make the right choice. 01net.com explains the main ones to make sure you do not go wrong. Be immersed in a match and live the same atmosphere as the stadium? This is certainly what every football lover dreams about in front of his television. If the image participates more and more, including the broadcast of some matches in 4K, the audio is still the poor relation of sports retransmissions. However, we do not buy a TV only to watch football (well, normally). It is therefore good to know what the different formats used for cinema sound mean. Not always easy to cope with the acronyms and logos displayed on the data sheets of the devices or on the pockets of DVDs and Blu-ray discs. These are the latter that will usually give you the most systematic access to multichannel audio formats, with several voices in the front, rear and a subwoofer. Netflix also offers some compatible content, both movies and series. Two...
