Dell announces three new Chromebooks, including a 2-in-1 convertible

Earlier this week, Google announced that Acer and ASUS were planning on launching two new convertible Chromebooks this spring for the education market. Today, Dell also revealed plans to launch three new Chromebooks targeting schools, and one of them will also be a 2-in-1 convertible.
The Dell Chromebook 11 Convertible will have a 6th-Generation Intel Celeron processor, but unlike the Acer and ASUS products, Dell’s 2-in-1 Chromebook will not have a stylus included, nor will it have a “world facing” camera when the display is moved into tablet mode. If you want those features, you will have to get the Windows 10 version of this Chromebook, the Latitude 11 Convertible. The Chromebook 11 Convertible model will be released on February 7 for $349, while the Windows 10-based Latitude 11 Convertible will be priced much higher at $579.
Dell’s other two upcoming Chromebooks will also launch on February 7. The Chromebook 11, which has a display that can be laid flat 180 degrees on a table, will be priced starting at $219. The Chromebook 13, which will have a normal notebook display, will be priced starting at $299. All three Chromebooks, along with their Windows 10 counterparts, are supposed to be made up to MIL-STD 810G specifications so they can be rugged enough to take a ton of abuse from students. All of them will have fully sealed keyboards and touchpads, so they can resist spills from a kid’s drink at lunch time.
Dell’s press release on these new products does not mention any support for running Android apps with these Chromebooks, although Google did recently saythat all Chromebooks launching in 2017 would be able to support running Android apps via the Google Play Store. Hopefully, that will be the case for these new Dell models, although it is possible that support won’t be included out of the box but will be added later in an update.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

How it works is fairly straightforward. After connecting Linktree to your Instagram profile, you’ll receive a single link to place in your Instagram bio.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
