OnePlus 10 Pro peek reveals lots of Oppo software DNA
OnePlus 10 Pro peek reveals lots of Oppo software DNA
Curious about what it's like to use the OnePlus 10 Pro? So is everyone else outside of China since the phone launched there on Jan. 10 and the company hasn't yet given an international release date. But a new video showing off the flagship phone reveals it's essentially running Oppo software.
YouTuber Marques Brownlee got his hands on a OnePlus 10 Pro model from China and demonstrated that it appears to have entirely replaced all traces of OnePlus' signature OxygenOS Android skin with Oppo's ColorOS.

This doesn't necessarily mean the version of OnePlus 10 Pro that'll be sold outside China won't have OxygenOS, Brownlee noted. But replacing software entirely is very different than the "fusion" of operating systems that OnePlus CEO Pete Lau described last September that would bring the best of both OxygenOS and ColorOS to the next generation of OnePlus phones.
Fans and media have been in the dark since the phone's launch earlier in January, which only revealed the OnePlus 10 Pro's specs and new design. Per Brownlee's video, the phone's hardware is exactly as advertised: It seems to have the same lenses as the OnePlus 9 Pro in a redesigned camera block housing, though it does have a new 150-degree ultrawide mode within the photo app, among other tweaks.
In addition, the in-screen fingerprint sensor, which was awkwardly low on the OnePlus 9 Pro, has been moved up on the display to be easier to reach with your thumb. The phone also has a new type of display, an LTPO 2, which has the same 120Hz maximum refresh rate but now goes down to a 1Hz, which is lower than the 9 Pro's minimum 10Hz, meaning lower potential power drain.
It seems we were right to be excited over the 10 Pro's 5,000mAh battery, the largest yet on a OnePlus flagship phone, as Brownlee found it lasted longer than the brand's older phones. The 80-watt charging is also as speedy as expected, though you'll need to buy a proprietary Oppo wireless charger to reach the phone's 50-watt maximum wireless charging speeds.
OnePlus veterans may be thrown off by the charger included in the box, which isn't OnePlus' WarpCharge but the SuperVOOC charger block typically packed with Oppo phones. The latter has a USB-A plug instead of the USB-C ports used by most modern chargers, so if you lose the included cable, you may need to unearth older cables long ago consigned to your desk drawer.

Acer's TravelMate P6 is a pro rugged laptop that weighs next to nothing
Acer's TravelMate P6 is a pro rugged laptop that weighs next to nothing
This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon.
2020 is likely to see more laptops designed to give you the instant-on performance and long battery life you get from your phone. And one of the first is the upcoming Acer TravelMate P6, announced at CES 2020 in Las Vegas.
Weighing in at only 2.4 pounds (1.1 kg), the slim 14-inch laptop was coengineered with Intel to meet its Project Athena minimum standards. That means it's designed to wake from sleep in less than a second, deliver consistent responsiveness on battery only, give you at least 9 hours of battery life under real-world conditions and 16 or more hours of battery for local video playback. It also promises at least 4 hours of battery time with a 30-minute charge.
Acer says the P6 can hit up to 23 hours, so squeezing in more than a full day's work seems possible. Also, despite its thin frame and light weight, the laptop is Mil-Spec 810G- and 810F-compliant, allowing it to withstand getting banged around on business trips. It'll be available in multiple configurations starting at $1,150 when it's available in February.
Up to a 10th-gen Intel Core i7
Up to 24GB of memory
Optional Nvidia GeForce MX250 discrete graphics
Up to 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD for storage
Acer will also offer the following options to help keep you and your work protected:
A power button with a built-in fingerprint reader
An IR webcam to sign in using facial recognition
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip for protection of passwords and encryption keys
4G LTE mobile broadband so you can work anywhere with less concern about connecting to random Wi-Fi networks
A physical shutter for the webcam also comes standard.

Acer also announced the TravelMate P2, which will arrive alongside the P6 in February starting at $700. Available in 14- and 15.6-inch models, the P2 is essentially a slightly heavier and thicker version of the P6 with up to a 12-hour battery life. Many of the configuration options are carried over, though, including the Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU combinations, 4G LTE and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and a TPM 2.0 module for security.

LG's outrageous direct-view LED TV tops out at 325 inches, $1.7 million
LG's outrageous direct-view LED TV tops out at 325 inches, $1.7 million
Pass on that Aston Martin Valhalla. Swipe left on that diamond-encrusted iPhone. Don't bother with that, um, modest two-bedroom tract home that's optimistically within commuting distance of San Francisco. What's really worth your next million dollars? A television.
And not just any television, but a 325-inch, 8K resolution, direct-view LED from LG. It's similar in concept to Samsung's The Wall and Sony's Crystal LED: massive screens comprising millions of LEDs. These kinds of extremely expensive TVs are fundamentally different from standard LED TVs, with (much) larger sizes, potentially better picture quality and eye-watering price tags.
Like standard TVs, LG's DVLED Home Cinema Display is available in different sizes (108 to 325 inches) and resolutions (HD to 8K). Unlike most TVs, however, it's available in different resolutions at the same size. For why that's interesting, and why DVLED is interesting in general beyond its massive size and price, read on.
LG
Little LEDs = huge TVs
Let's back up for a minute. All modern TVs are, in one way or another, lit by light-emitting diodes. In most cases it's a series of hundreds or thousands of tiny LEDs arrayed on the edges or behind an LCD screen. It's that LCD that actually creates the image, the LEDs just create the light. Color filters, or increasingly frequently, quantum dots, create the specific colors needed for a TV image. OLED TVs are slightly different, with their organic (i.e. they include carbon) LEDs directly visible, and they create color in a different way.
MicroLED, like Samsung's The Wall and Sony's Crystal LED, are a form of direct-view LED TV. You're looking right at the LEDs -- no LCD layer required -- and those LEDs are creating the light, the color and the entire image. This is far more difficult than it sounds because of the sheer number of LEDs involved.
A standard 4K TV has 8,294,400 pixels (3,840x2,160). They actually need three times that many (24,883,200) because each pixel needs red, green and blue subpixels to create TV colors. Traditional LCD TVs, aka "LED" TVs in marketing-speak, have that many pixels on their liquid crystal layers, but far, far fewer LEDs. Even mini-LED TVs, which have far more LEDs than traditional LCD LED TVs, have thousands, not millions of LEDs.
LG
This is because not only are LEDs relatively expensive, but they also require significantly more electricity than any other part of the TV. So 24 million of them would be a significantly greater energy hog than, say, a few hundred.
Getting LEDs small enough, and efficient enough, has been a goal for all the major TV brands, not to mention dozens of competing smaller companies you've never heard of. Their collective success is why we're already seeing mini-LED TVs, with their impressive brightness and contrast, and wall-size MicroLED TVs. Which brings us to LG's DVLED.
LG
What is DVLED?
Direct View LED is a refreshingly self-explanatory name. You're directly viewing LEDs. But is it actually MicroLED, like Samsung and Sony's wall-sized TVs? It depends.
LG told CNET that, "All of the DVLED Extreme Home Cinema displays with the 0.9mm COB LED Package type are using MicroLED."
That number, 0.9mm, refers to pixel pitch. That's the distance from the center of one pixel to the next, which includes the size of the pixel but also the space in between. The smallest pixel pitch in LG's DVLED lineup is 0.9mm, found on a variety of models from 81 up to 325 inches and ranging from 2K to 8K resolution (those are the ones with MicroLED). There are also models with 1.2mm and 1.5mm pixel pitches. The LEDs used in those versions are small, that's for sure, but evidently not small enough to qualify as MicroLED.
Read more: MicroLED could replace OLED as the next ultimate TV tech. Here's how it works
DVLED comes in a variety of screen sizes and resolutions.
LG
Why these numbers are important is because of a counterintuitive characteristic of all direct-view LED tech: There's a lower limit to sizes of direct view LED displays. There's a limit to how close they can currently get the pixels, and this is true with LG's DVLED, as well as Samsung and Sony's tech. That's the reason these TVs are all wall-size, at least for now.
The smallest LG DVLED Home Cinema Display is 108 inches diagonally. With a 1.2mm pixel pitch, this means HD resolution, or "2K" as LG calls it. Interestingly, LG includes BTU specs, just like heaters and air conditioners. Remember, LEDs create heat as well as light, just in a better ratio than, say, incandescent bulbs. So in this case, they spec the 108-inch at putting out 6,288 BTUs per hour. So yeah, worst case is you can use one as a space heater if you get chilly while sleeping on your piles of money.
If 4K is more your thing, sizes range from 163 to 393 inches. You can also do dual 2K or dual 4K versions, which have a 32:9 aspect ratio for watching two or more shows side-by-side. I would absolutely use this to watch TV on one side of the screen and play a game on the other.
The 8K version, for a cool $1.7 million, is 325 inches diagonally. It weighs in at exactly one Mazda Miata. It puts out a toasty 56,592 BTUs, which I believe is just slightly less than a Falcon 9 at full throttle. Hope you've got decent HVAC, or at least several athletic serfs with palm fronds.
Look, Timmy, your inheritance!
LG
And yet...
Joking aside, I'd like to be clear about two things. One, this isn't really a "big TV." I mean, it is, but really it's a projector replacement. It's fairly easy, and inexpensive, to get a 100-plus inch image right now with a projector. What isn't easy, basically impossible, is to get any projector that looks good in a bright room. LG claims most sizes of DVLED put out around 1,200 nits, which is similar to the brightness of a (much smaller) midrange to high-end TV today -- and many times brighter than a typical projector.
OK, yeah, this I'd do.
LG
Also… this is the future. Not $1.7 million TVs (I hope), but direct view displays. OLED is the start of that, but like MicroLED and DVLED, also on the horizon are direct view quantum dots, QD/OLED hybrids and more. LCDs will disappear eventually, or at least be relegated entirely to the low end of the market.
Will there be a 65-inch 4K DVLED someday? Maybe, but more likely it will be some variation on the technology that LG was able to achieve because of what they were able to figure out by making DVLED displays today.

These are the 10 best iPad apps of the past decade
It's now been more than 10 years since former Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad. The move firmly pushed tablets into the mainstream gadget conversation while leading many to ask, "What the heck is this giant iPod touch?" (Oh 2010, you sweet summer child.) In a review of the first-gen iPad that year, CNET's Donald Bell described the device as "an elegant, affordable supergadget." One of the main draws was how easy it was to access and navigate the apps on the 9.7-inch screen.
Jobs said the iPad would define "an entirely new category of devices that will connect people with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before." He wasn't wrong: 10 years later, the iPad's portability, user-friendly interface and variety of apps have made it a favorite device in many homes, classrooms and offices. We use it for web surfing, reading, drawing, binge watching and sometimes even working.

Apple separated iPadOS into its own platform last year, bringing the tablets closer to operating like a laptop -- though for most people, the tablet isn't ready to become a primary work device just yet. My CNET colleague Dan Ackerman dove into this topic in his commentary, Apple iPad at 10: Can we call it a computer yet?
Looking back on that first announcement (and how much we made fun of the name iPad), you can see the evolution of our expectations for the iPad and its apps. It briefly looked like the iPad would be the next frontier for magazines, with its large, high-resolution screen and interactive capabilities. That never came to fruition, but Apple is still betting on the format with Apple News Plus, a service for accessing top magazines and newspapers in one place for one monthly subscription fee.

The iPad also held a lot of potential for mobile games and -- unlike the expectations for magazines -- that promise was fulfilled. Many of the most popular iPad apps today are games, and the Apple Arcade mobile game service now has more than 130 games you can download and play on the iPad and other Apple devices.
We selected 25 apps that have turned the iPad into a useful tool for entertainment, reading, working and playing. Here are the top 10 -- check out the rest in our full gallery of the best iPad apps of all time.
1. Netflix
Angela Lang/CNET
The release of the first-gen iPad coincided with the expansion of Netflix's movie and TV streaming service. The Netflix app on iPad allowed us to take our favorite shows with us everywhere we went, on a much larger screen than the iPhone -- truly a game changer that helped push us into the streaming era. This became especially useful for parents, who can now hand an iPad to their kid to watch family-friendly Netflix shows in any room of the house, on road trips and in other places where a little bit of distraction could go a long way.

Flipboard is a curation tool that uses a combination of editors and algorithms to deliver news, videos and podcasts tailored to your interests. Founded in 2010, Flipboard was one of the first apps to take advantage of the iPad's magazine-like layout. In the iPad app today, you can create Smart Magazines that bundle together articles and sources around your specific interests, like photography, technology or recipes.
4. Amazon Kindle

The Amazon Kindle app for iPad helped open up the world of e-books, as it allowed people to purchase e-books on Amazon and read them on the iPad, instead of on a Kindle. You can't buy books directly from the app on your iPad, but the Kindle books you buy from Amazon (including Amazon.com from your web browser on the iPad) will automatically appear in the Kindle app.
5. Procreate
Procreate is an art app made for the iPad and the Apple Pencil.
Procreate
An Apple Editor's Choice winner, Procreate is an art app made for the iPad and the Apple Pencil, featuring ultra-high definition canvases, hundreds of virtual brushes, and many design and animation tools. It's used by creative professionals, hobbyists and aspiring artists, who can import or export art as Adobe Photoshop files or in virtually any other format they'd like. Professionals who use the app view the combination of iPad, Apple Pencil and Procreate as a big upgrade to the digital tools of the past. (Check out our list of 10 Procreate app tips for budding iPad artists, too.)
6. Star Walk
Vito Technology

Duet Display is an app that turns your iPad into a second monitor for your laptop, desktop or phone. Designed by former Apple engineers, the app can turn your tablet into a productivity tool, with full gesture support and customizable shortcuts. It also creates a Touch Bar on your tablet. The app works completely via software, so no cables or dongles are needed -- and promises zero lag time.
9. YouTube

It's another old standby, but the YouTube app for iPad helped further the tablet's reputation as a mobile content consumption platform. YouTube was one of the default apps on the iPad until iOS 6, when it moved to the App Store after Apple and YouTube parent company Google's license to include it in iOS expired. Almost a decade later, it remains one of the most popular apps for the iPad -- and along with other streaming video apps such as Disney Plus and CBS All Access, it makes the iPad a powerful mobile TV. (Editors' note: CNET is owned by ViacomCBS, which also owns CBS All Access.)
10. LumaFusion
LumaFusion
The most popular video-editing app for iOS, LumaFusion proved that iPads can be great not just for watching videos, but for making them. The app is a multitrack video editor used by professional video producers, filmmakers and journalists. It has six video and audio tracks for photos, videos, audio, titles and graphics. It also lets you add and layer effects and color corrections -- all from your iPad.

Pilot Like a Pro With $40 Off This Beginner-Friendly Drone
Drone piloting might seem like a prohibitively expensive hobby, but drone tech has come a long way in recent years. There are plenty of entry-level models out there that boast some impressive specs and won't break the bank. If you're looking to take a first step into the expanding world of drone piloting, then we've got a deal you won't want to miss.
The Holy Stone HS360 is packed full of features that make it a great pick for first-time flyers, and right now you can pick it up for just $207, or $43 off the usual price. It's already on sale at Amazon, but you can use the promo code Z9YU78O6 at checkout to get the full discount.
When you're shopping for a beginner drone, you probably don't want to drop serious cash on one you might end up inadvertently crashing. But you also don't want to opt for one so cheap that it barely functions. The HS360 is a great balance between the two, and it has tons of handy features and functions that will help new pilots get the the hang of flying. You can set it to hold a specific altitude, automatically follow you or even draw a flight trajectory for it to follow on the companion app. The Electronic Image Stabilization camera is mounted on an adjustable two-axis gimbal for a wider field of view, and can capture or stream stunning 4K UHD video. You can even control the camera with simple hand gestures (i.e., "paper" to start recording, "scissors" to take a picture) so you never miss out on that perfect shot. With powerful 5GHz transmission, it can provide a clear image feed to your phone up to 1640 feet away, and the two included batteries provide a total fligh t time of up to 46 minutes.

Meta's Oculus Quest Fitness Data Will Sync With Apple Health and Your Phone
Meta's Oculus Quest Fitness Data Will Sync With Apple Health and Your Phone
The Quest 2 VR headset already tracks workouts and can be a surprisingly effective fitness tool. And soon enough it will sync Oculus Move workout data with Apple Health as well as with the Oculus phone app.
Announcing the news Thursday, Meta said the changes are happening next month. The tech conglomerate, formerly known as Facebook, also acknowledged that it's looking at integrating with "other fitness platforms" in the future.
Though syncing with Apple Health requires an iPhone, the Oculus phone app will work on both iOS and Android. However, syncing fitness data with the phone app means authorizing the Quest to store that data in Meta's cloud, which is a shift from how Meta had previously handled such data on its VR headset. Meta promises the fitness data will be stored in an encrypted state that won't be used for targeted ads. The data on existing Quest headsets using Move is stored on the headset.
The phone app has a familiar fitness-tracker style.
Meta
The app layout for Move on the Oculus app looks similar to Apple's Fitness app, with two goal rings for daily estimated calorie burn and total move minutes (minutes moving while using VR). The activities are also exported under the category of "Fitness Gaming" to Apple Health. The Oculus app will now sync with Health if you grant it permission to export the data.
The Quest 2 can currently pair with Apple Watches in Supernatural, a subscription fitness app that Meta acquired last year. You can also wear a fitness tracker while working out in VR and record the data separately. But once the Oculus is able to sync with Apple Health, the VR headset could act as a partial replacement for a watch or fitness band. While the Quest 2 doesn't track heart rate, it can record movement through the headset and controllers in order to calculate a (less accurate) guess at exertion.
This is yet another fitness-related step for Meta, a company that's reported to be working on its own smartwatch. It's possible this move could align with a future Meta wrist device for VR and fitness tracking. In the meantime, it'll likely be helpful for anyone using the headset for workouts, provided you're already using an iPhone and are fine with Meta being a part of your fitness regimen.

Acer adds AMD Ryzen power to budget gaming desktops
Acer adds AMD Ryzen power to budget gaming desktops
PC maker Acer is adding a wider variety of configuration options to its GX line of gamingdesktops. Rather than breaking the bank, the addition of newer AMD Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs are aimed at "entry to mid-level gaming," according to the company.
The Acer Aspire GX-281 desktop, already available with Intel CPUs (which can carry a premium price) now gets models with AMD Ryzen parts, which promise decent performance for less. The graphics card options go up to an Nvidia GeForce 1070 or an AMD Radeon RX 480.

"As the gaming market continues to grow and evolve, Acer is pleased to offer a broader desktop selection leveraging a variety of processing, graphics and storage configurations, so customers can choose the system that best meets their needs," said said Frank Chang, Acer America senior director for desktops in a press release.
Previously, the Intel-powered versions of the GX-281 started at $899 in the US and go up from there, the new AMD models start at $799.

Google Pixel Fold Rumor Says It's Smaller Than Galaxy Z Fold 3, May Be Coming 2023
Google Pixel Fold Rumor Says It's Smaller Than Galaxy Z Fold 3, May Be Coming 2023
With the success of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, rumors have been fluttering about a potential Google Pixel Fold. Though the phone had been rumored to come out in late 2021 or mid-2022, Google had apparently pulled the plug. A new rumor now says the device is back from the dead.
The news comes by way of reliable display analyst Ross Young, co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants. In a tweet, Young said the Google foldable will be more squat when compared with Samsung's upcoming Z Fold 4. The outer display is said to be 5.8 inches, as opposed to the Z Fold 4's supposed 6.19 inches, meaning the inner display, when the phone's opened up, would have a wider aspect ratio.
As for a potential release date, in a reply to a user on Twitter, Young said fans could expect a Pixel Fold in the fourth quarter of this year. Information seems to be fluid, however.
"This is based on discussions with companies in the display supply chain around a specific configuration," Young told CNET. "However, we are also now hearing it may be pushed out into 2023. Don't believe they have actually placed the order yet."
Young said he and his team need more time to confirm the exact release window.
Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Whether a Google foldable were to launch later this year or next, it would most likely be running Android 13. As for price, an unnamed source told 9to5Google that it'll cost less than the Z Fold 3, which launched last August for $1,800.

The world's first phone with an in-screen fingerprint scanner finally has a name, and a birth date. The Vivo X20 Plus UD goes on sale Jan. 24, starting in China.
We first saw the one-of-a-kind tech at CES, the world's largest technology show. Chinese phone maker Vivo showed us a preproduction device that scans your fingerprint when you place your finger on the screen. There's no home button, just a target on the lock screen that you tap when you want to unlock the device -- and then it's out of your way. Vivo calls it Clear ID.
Although Vivo's phone will be the first to market with this innovation, we expect it to kick off a trend in 2018 and beyond. Currently, almost every phone on the planet has a physical fingerprint scanner that you press to get into your phone: either south of the screen, integrated in the power button, or on the phone's back.
Apple's iPhone X is one notable exception -- it uses Face ID to unlock the phone, and has no fingerprint scanner whatsoever.
Both the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S8 were rumored to get the embedded sensor, and didn't. With the Galaxy S9 launching in February in Barcelona, Spain, Samsung and other device makers will have a chance to show off their use of the technology, which was created by components company Synaptics.
The Vivo X20 Plus UD is a variation on the previously announced X20 Plus, so expect it to have the same 6.43-inch AMOLED display with thin bezels, a Snapdragon octa-core processor, dual rear cameras and 4GB of RAM -- the in-screen fingerprint sensor is really the standout feature.
Vivo will announce the X20 Plus UD Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. local time in China; it's unclear if it will come to other markets outside of Vivo's home country.

Samsung slashes Galaxy Z Flip 5G price by $250 to $1,200
Samsung on Monday cut the starting price for its Galaxy Z Flip 5G foldable by $250, fulfilling a vow the head of its mobile business made in December. The unlocked version of the company's flip phone-like device now retails for $1,200 on Samsung.com and comes in mystic gray or mystic bronze finishes.
Tae-moon Roh, Samsung president and head of mobile communications, in December wrote that he would make his company's foldables "more accessible" in 2021. That was interpreted as code for cutting the prices of the expensive foldables.
The first devices that used bendable screens were expensive, as the components were in short supply and were more difficult to manufacture than regular displays. But Samsung is now on its third year of foldables, and it hopes lowering the price will help the devices attract more buyers.
Last week, Samsung said it benefited in the fourth quarter from strong demand for technologies that help people during the pandemic -- like TVs -- but its mobile business couldn't quite compete with Apple's new iPhone 12 lineup. Sales for that business tumbled 11%, while Apple's iPhone revenue climbed 17%. Samsung said its mobile revenue fell because of "intensified competition in the year-end season," and its mobile profits suffered from higher marketing costs.
Like its competition, Samsung is grappling with the coronavirus pandemic and the impact it's having on consumers. When COVID-19 first started spreading, worries about the illness caused a dramatic slowdown in phone purchases as people around the globe decided the device they had was good enough. Demand eventually recovered as new 5G phones began to hit the market, but not soon enough to boost Samsung's Galaxy S20 sales.
The pandemic has forced Samsung to shift strategy for some of its mobile products, including introducing a less expensive model of the Galaxy S20, called the S20 FE in September. And it held its Galaxy 21 launch in mid-January, about a month earlier than normal. The most notable difference from last year's Galaxy S20 lineup is the lower price, with each model retailing for $200 less than its predecessor. The company hopes the lower price tag for the S20 and Z Flip will help it attract buyers who had delayed upgrading their devices.

How the PC industry killed the ultrabook
How the PC industry killed the ultrabook
commentary Well, it was fun while it lasted.
The personal computer industry backed a promising candidate in the ultrabook concept, convincing even a skeptic like myself that a new class of superslim, superlight laptops was the key to exciting consumers. Ultrabooks were well on their way to becoming the PC form factor of the future.
And now, it's already over.
In record time -- something less than six months -- the ultrabook term has become so overused and amorphous that it's well on its way to being useless.
Liberal terminology The first major examples of this new ultrabook rift are two laptops we recently reviewed. The HP Envy 14 Spectreand the Samsung Series 5 Ultra are both 14-inch laptops pitched as ultrabooks. The idea of bringing the ultrabook concept to larger laptops is a reasonable one -- the initial wave of ultrabooks were all 13-inch systems -- but they need to be nearly as thin and lightweight as the 13-inch models.
Instead, both the HP Spectre and Samsung Series 5 Ultra weigh a hair under 4 pounds, about a full pound more than a 13-inch MacBook Air. Both are also about one-tenth of an inch thicker. That may not sound like much, but when less than an inch is your baseline, it makes a noticeable difference in the feel of the laptop in your hand.
The biggest deviation from the ultrabook model to date is the 14-inch Samsung's use of a standard 500GB platter hard drive. The ultrabook platform is supposed to be built around faster, lighter solid-state drives (SSDs), and Samsung includes a tiny 16GB SSD as a secondary drive, which allows it to meet the letter, if not the spirit, of the ultrabook specifications. This system also includes an optical drive, which is another difference from previous ultrabooks.
It's relatively thin and light, but should it be an ultrabook? CNET
What you end up with, especially in the case of the Series 5 Ultra, is a perfectly fine midsize, mainstream laptop that can stand toe to toe with anything similar in the $850-$950 range. If we had seen it eight months or a year ago, our initial impression would be, "Wow, that's a pretty thin 14-inch laptop."
But today, there's absolutely nothing about it that says "ultrabook," which is bad news for this promising new category.
The origins of ultrabook So, what is an ultrabook supposed to be, anyway?
Seeing the success of Apple's MacBook Air, Intel and PC manufacturers wanted to find a way to replicate it for Windows-based consumers in systems that could be sold at a reasonable price. The idea was pitched as an entirely new laptop category, although the name "Ultrabook" was a trademarked Intel marketing term, and the systems that were going to use it had to meet a series of Intel-set system requirements.
In fact, Intel even set aside $300 million to help PC makers develop these new systems, saying in August 2011 that it would "invest in companies building hardware and software technologies focused on enhancing how people interact with Ultrabooks such as through sensors and touch, achieving all-day usage through longer battery life, enabling innovative physical designs, and improved storage capacity."

From that original big idea, and the subsequent challenge Intel presented to PC makers, came the first generation of laptops to use the ultrabook name. These systems, from companies such as Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, and Asus, came off very well in our initial reviews and we were surprisingly impressed with the platform, especially as prices declined, offering buyers systems with 128GB SSD drives for as little as $799.
Ultrabooks 2012: From noteworthy to no big deal But a few months ago, at CES 2012, I warned that the road ahead looked foggy, saying: "The ultrabook is in danger of being oversold by both Intel and industry watchers overeager to get behind the Next Big Thing."
And that seems to be exactly what is happening here. The ultrabook idea was a hit. It even seemed to have high name recognition with CNET readers, who would e-mail us with specific questions about which ultrabook they should buy. Now, everyone's rushing to join the bandwagon and the bigger 14- and even 15-inch ultrabooks hitting stores feel like they dilute the concept far too much.
For an example of this kind of branding done right, think back to the early days of wireless networks, when Intel's Centrino name meant that a laptop was able to connect to Wi-Fi and do most of the other networking things you needed it to, without you having to delve too deeply into the spec sheet.
In this case, instead of looking for an Intel ultrabook sticker on a laptop and knowing that it's going to be very thin, very light, rely on SSD storage, boot quickly, and run for a long time on a battery charge, now consumers will have to go back to checking the size and weight specs carefully.
How is that helpful for anybody?
Expect to see more laptops that look like this. CNET
The ultrabook is dead; long live the new laptop order But the ultrabook, as originally presented, is still an idea whose time has come. Apple's MacBook Air proved that consumers could live without optical drives and large-capacity hard drives, and valued long battery life and portability over ports and connections (in that sense, systems such as the Dell Adamo were ahead of their time). Also, ultrabook branding is certainly not going away anytime soon, and we'll all see dozens of new ultrathin laptops both with the ultrabook label and without during the rest of 2012.
The real long-term victory is that the ultrabook is rewriting what it means to be a mainstream laptop. By this time next year, I find it hard to believe that any midprice, midsize laptop won't be well under 1 inch, and closer to 3 pounds than 4 or 5. Optical drives will continue to fade away, as will dedicated Ethernet jacks (although I'm still convinced you'll eventually need one in a pinch). If you're a PC maker and most of your future laptops aren't at least trending toward ultrabooks and the MacBook Air, you simply won't be in the game.
So, yeah: I'm no longer sure what "ultrabook" means anymore. But if most future laptops are going to be thinner, lighter, and faster -- whether or not they get an Intel-approved sticker -- maybe that's not such a bad thing.
AMD unveils Ryzen 9 5950X gaming PC CPU with 16 cores, Zen 3
AMD unveils Ryzen 9 5950X gaming PC CPU with 16 cores, Zen 3
AMD on Thursday announced the Ryzen 5000 series, its flagship consumer desktop CPUs for gaming and creation. And if the company's smattering of benchmarks are to be believed, it's managed to squeeze quite a performance increase out of the new processors without changing the basic specs -- like number of cores, total cache and power envelope -- and just switching to the new Zen 3 architecture. AMD also gave us a quickie preview of the eagerly anticipated Radeon RX 6000 graphics card, which it will launch on Oct. 28.
The CPUs mark the debut of Zen 3, which builds on the previous generation of AMD's 7-nanometer architecture with optimizations that the company says deliver around 19% more instructions per clock cycle over the 3000 series -- which is already pretty fast -- across the board. One of the big changes between generations is a move from a four-core block to eight-core blocks in the die layout, with double the amount of L3 cache. In practice, that means more memory is closer to the cores on the CPU die, reducing overall latency, which means it responds more quickly for any CPU-related activities.

Zen 3 CPUs also get a boost from more efficient arithmetical operations and instruction prediction. All while achieving a 24% improvement in performance per watt, according to AMD, and they will be able to work in the same motherboards. Base and boost clock speeds are only slightly different from their predecessors. As far as I can tell, there are no changes in supporting chipset-related specs, such as maximum amount of memory or number of PCI 4 lanes.
You'll notice there's still a gap in the lineup where a 10-core option to compete directly with the Intel Core i9-10900K would be.
AMD's target launch date of Nov. 5 is aggressive, especially since Intel has yet to unveil its competing flagship next-generation desktop CPUs. Intel recently confirmed that the new architecture, code named "Rocket Lake," based on Cypress Cove (10nm cores adapted and validated for Rocket Lake's 14nm process) would first appear in the 11th-gen midrange Rocket Lake-S chips in early 2021. Intel claims its Rocket Lake processors will have better performance with more IPC -- ironically, a metric AMD pushed into popularity over clock frequencies a few years ago -- support for PCIe 4.0, expanded AI acceleration capabilities and Xe graphics architecture, with its much faster integrated graphics.
The new processors jump the 4000-series naming convention, possibly to eliminate confusion with the Zen 2-based mobile processors that bear that designation.
For its preview of the the RX 6000 (nicknamed "Big Navi") graphics card line, which incorporates the RDNA 2-architecture we've heard so much about with the upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles, AMD highlighted 4K performance. That's a little unusual for the company, which has been concentrating on promoting its 1440p capability at the higher end of the RX 5000 line. It's not surprising, though, given that its similar new console chips target 4K at 120fps.
