You can continue to use this version of Windows 10, but losing support from Microsoft means there are no more security updates.

Will we be forced to switch to the May 2020 version?

No. Microsoft recommends this update but it is not mandatory only if you reach the end of the support like Windows 10 1809. Even then you can choose for yourself whether to stay or not. To see what version you have installed you need to go to Settings> System> About and check in Windows Specifications where you find the edition and version number.

If you have the 1903 version launched in May 2019 and want to keep it, you can do so until December 2020 when support ends. And if you have the 1909 version launched in November 2019 then you have until May 2021 to use it safely.

More on Windows 10

In a blog post, Panos Panay, chief executive of the Windows and Devices division, spoke about Windows 10X. The operating system introduced at the end of 2019 is designed to work with devices with two screens like Surface Neo which are not yet available.

However, based on the trends that are being applied today, Microsoft decided to backoff from the initiative by staying with laptops and regular 2n1 devices. Panay said Microsoft will focus on implementing Windows 10X for single-screen devices.

As for the CPU options, we have the Core i5-1035G7 and Core i7-1065G7 available. The Core i5 models do not offer dedicated graphics, while the 15-inch version of the Surface Book 3 only comes with the Core i7.

The GPU also got a real look. The 13.5-inch model gives you the 4GB Max-Q version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, while the 15-inch model comes with a 6GB GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q.

On the screen side, we have a 3000×2000 screen in the 13.5-inch model, while the 15-inch offers a resolution of 3240×2160 pixels.

Lenovo Legion Images Leaks

Lenovo Legion, a smartphone with a radical design created especially for games

With rear cameras found in this unusual place

The Lenovo Legion smartphone aims to become one of the ‘loudest’ smartphones for games with impressive confirmed parts – 90W charger and revolutionary cooling technology.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

According to the GSMArena website, this phone has appeared in a marketing video, revealing a unique and bold design, two cameras in the back in the middle as well as the selfie which is hidden in a mechanism that appears sideways.

The phone is designed to be held horizontally, and this is why the cameras are found in this unusual place. Lenovo has placed two cameras on the back, in the middle of the smartphone – one main camera 64MP, accompanied by another 16MP, while it is said that it has a 20MP sensor.

According to leaked details, there will be two slots for USB-C, one on the front and the other on the side, so the device can be charged during the game as well. There will be two stereo sound magnifiers, both hidden on the top and bottom (or left and right) sides of the phone.

Gaming PCs from major manufacturers continue to be respected by gaming fans for several reasons and one of them beyond performance is designs. It is precisely this direction that HP has decided to choose with the new redesigned Omen line. The new Omen 25L and 30L models come with new cases although not as enthusiastic as the previous models, have higher performance and the luxury of adaptation and configuration in different options.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

A noticeable improvement is in the airflow system.  All the new Omens are on feet that raise the system 15mm off the ground or a desk, which will improve air circulation while the graphics card is placed higher in the case for thermal efficiency.

2020 Apple MacBook Pro

Apple new 2020 MacBook Pro (13-inch) revealed with Magic Keyboard

Sooner or later, Apple was expected to introduce a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Magic Keyboard, and it did today

The laptop comes with 10th generation Intel processors and a base price of $1,299. From a quick glance it can be said that we are dealing with a small update but on the other hand it represents the end of an era because Apple no longer sells laptops with the keyboard with the butterfly mechanism.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

This keyboard has had many problems over the years as its replacement came for the first time on the 16-inch MacBook Pro introduced in November 2019 followed by a MacBook Air on Mars this year. For five years, the company failed to find comfort with the butterfly keyboard, at least since the 2015 MacBook.

As for the new 13-inch model, Apple stands with the Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C ports. The Touch Bar and the fingerprint scanner are also there. But the new MacBook Pro comes with 16GB of RAM at an high 3,733Mhz and starts with a 256GB SSD. RAM can be added up to 32GB while memory up to 4TB.

Regarding Intel processors, Apple says the 10th generation has a Turbo 4.1Ghz frequency and Iris graphics which can withstand the full 6K resolution of the Pro Display XDR screen.

The base model comes with 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM. A switch to 16GB of RAM requires $100 out of the $200 needed with previous models. There has been speculation that the screen could be added to the 14-inch but that hasn’t happened in this case.

The 13-inch screen can reach a brightness of up to 500 nits and supports the range of P3 colors. From today the laptop can be ordered in Apple stores and authorized resellers of the company.

Intel Core 10th GEN Comet Lake S series Desktop CPUs are official, with up to 5.3 GHz Boost

Is a high frequency enough to beat AMD?

After months of speculation and information leaks, Intel has unveiled the 10th generation of S-series processors with the Core i9 10900K as the flagship model. For $488 you can buy a 10-core processor with a frequency of up to 5.3Ghz Turbo and 4.9Ghz base.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

But there are even cheaper ones. The second model in the new processor hierarchy is the Core i7-10700 with the power and performance you find in the Core i9 models including hyperthreading which has been extended till the Core i3 models.

Introducing the new processors from Intel is a clear signal to rival AMD and the excellent Ryzen 3000 models especially the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X.

In search of more performance and efficiency, AMD’s chips have been built into the 7-nanometer architecture while Intel’s have remained on the 14-nanometer. However, Intel has an advantage in speed thanks to the Turbo Boost Max technology that has reached version 3.0.

In performance, Intel claims that the i9-10900K is 10% faster than the 9900K in PUBG and 63% faster than the three-year model i7-7700K. The new processor is also 18% faster in 4K video editing than the predecessor and 35% faster than the i7-7700K.

10th GEN Intel Core Desktop CPUs

To seduce enthusiasts, Intel will give you more opportunities to “overclock” than. Intel Extreme Tuning Utility has been redesigned to give more control over voltage and frequency. They can even turn off hyperthreading for individual cores.

How does then compare to AMD Ryzen 9 3900X? Until this processor reaches the hands of enthusiasts it is difficult to reach a conclusion, but a simple comparison is the 125-watt power of the Intel processor and the 105-watt of the AMD processor.

With the new processors remaining at 14 nanometers, next year remains an opportunity for the undisputed market leader to bring 10-nanometer architecture, albeit still far from AMD’s 7-nanometer.

Facebook ready to rival Zoom via Messenger Rooms

Facebook is launching a series of new products to expand its options in the video chat segment

Scandal or lack of success and the high number of Zoom usage has broken every statistic. And the reaction from the competition was not long in coming. Facebook unveiled Messenger Rooms, a total reconception of the app’s video calling service.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Up to 50 people can access this video service, and people should not be invited individually, Facebook users can post the link on their wall or in groups or event pages. Furthermore, participants do not have to have a Messenger or Facebook account, a browser is enough and you can become a part of it.

But on the other hand, the example of Zoom infiltrations has increased security levels and the caller can close the room to unwanted people.

All the gallantry of creative backgrounds and new filters are also present here. 14 new filters that provide professional lighting for the environment and the face. Messenger Rooms are starting to spread today, the move came as a result of high demand, more than 700 million video calls are made every day on Messenger and WhatsApp

Also, Facebook is doubling the number of people in WhatsApp video calling from four to eight people, adding video calls to Facebook Dating as well, adding new live streaming features to both Facebook and Instagram.

New Facebook products are coming as global pandemic has forced hundreds of millions of people to stay inside and rely on digital tools for almost everything.

iPhone 12 Render

Here’s how the iPhone 12 will look like according to the latest render

Svelteapple says this is at least 80% accurate to what we will see in September

While the information about the iPhone 12 continues to flow, we are all curious to know what it will look like and with this work the designers are busy bringing supposed product renderings. The next order comes from Sveteapple.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Flat sides, a smaller notch and thinner body. Details that will confuse you to get the iPhone SE 2020 for only $399 or save some more until the 12th comes out.

Rounded sides were removed to the iPad Pro of 2020 suggesting that this will result in other products, with a look like that of the 5th generation, pretty futuristic. The materials used seem to be the same of the last generation, the steel on the side and the textured glass on the back. In terms of color options we’ve heard that Apple is working on a Dark Blue version but nothing else is known. Assumed for a Green Olive, White and Gray version as well.

Notch has had numerous reports of a downgrade and this is also introduced in these renders.

Another big change has to do with the camera bump on the back, where the more Pro version of the line will have an extra LIDAR camera bringing the total of sensors to 4.

Svelteapple says this is at least 80% accurate to what we will see in September. And after using the same aesthetics for 3 years since the iPhone X, such a change is more than welcome.

Microsoft will bring Surface Book 3 and Surface Go 2 next month

The latest leaks bring to attention Microsoft and recently beloved products for the user

Apparently Microsoft will use Intel’s latest generation 10 processors for the Surface Book 3, along with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. Rumors also say that this time Nvidia Quadro graphics cards will be used in some Book 3 models.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

This is to focus on the demand of 3D animators, designers, or engineers who prefer optimized Quadro for some types of professional programs instead of video games.

As for the Go 2, in addition to the standard version with Intel Pentium Gold processor, there will also be a version with Intel Core i3. The latter is known to come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage as well as LTE capability.

The Surface Go 2 will have a 10.5-inch screen and thinner frames. The design will be the same as the first Go series, so the new generation’s exterior accessories will work best with the new product.

Microsoft plans to release them next month, things may change from pandemic but it has been a long time since the company is working on these products.
