Dell now has a Chromebook with a stylus too

Dell is announcing a trio of new Chromebooks today, and the most interesting of the bunch is a convertible laptop that works with a stylus.
Fittingly named the Chromebook 11 Convertible, the laptop can flip around to be used like a tablet, works with the “Dell Productivity Active Pen,” and can be configured to include a camera built into the keyboard that’s meant to be used when flipped into tablet mode.
The Chromebook 11 Convertible is destined for schools, so there’s nothing particularly catchy here aside from its form. It has a generation-old Intel Celeron processor; its keyboard and trackpad are “fully sealed” to protect against spills; and it has a “rubberized trim” to improve its shock resistance — it’s going to be in schools after all, so it better be able to take a fall.
A model running Windows 10 and including a newer processor will be available as well, but it’ll be known as the Latitude 11 Convertible. Both versions launch February 7th, with the Chrome OS model selling for $349 and the Windows model for $579.
Dell’s announcement comes right alongside Google’s renewed push to get Chromebooks into schools. Just yesterday, Acer and Asus both announced 11-inch convertible Chromebooks of their own, with one even supporting a stylus. It seems like Google has some ideas about what Chromebooks should be bringing to the table this year, and now it has a few partners getting that configuration out there.
Alongside the Chromebook 11 Convertible, Dell also announced the Chromebook 11 and Chromebook 13, which are Chrome OS incarnations of existing Windows laptops that go under the names Latitude 11 and Latitude 13. Those two Latitude models are getting updated with new processors. The Chromebooks will have older processors but sell at a lower price.
Those four laptops launch February 7th as well. The Chromebook 11 is $219, the Latitude 11 is $349, the Chromebook 13 is $299, and the Latitude 13 is $519.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to 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
