Porsche Design's new laptop is like a Surface Book that can rotate 360 degrees

Porsche Design has announced its new 2-in-1, called the Book One, today at Mobile World Congress and it sure reminds us of a Surface Book. The device runs Windows 10 Pro and includes a 5-megapixel camera with an infrared sensor for logging in through Windows Hello. Here’s the rest of the specs:

  • 13.3-inch touch QHD display
  • Core i7 Intel processor
  • 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage
  • Two USB-C ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and a USB-C port that supports ThunderBolt 3
  • Precision Touchpad and backlit keyboard
The Book One also supports a digital stylus that sticks to the right side of the device magnetically. It’s worth noting the notebook’s hardware was likely done by Quanta, a company that also helped manufacture Amazon’s Fire tablets.
The key difference between Book One and a Surface Book — apart from the impossible-to-miss Porsche Design logo — is the hinge. Book One’s screen is detachable, like the Surface Book’s, but it can also rotate 360 degrees. The Surface Book can’t do that. You’re going to have to pay for that hinge, however. The Book One will cost $2,495 when its released in the US this April. While this is slightly more expensive than the base Surface Book, at least you’re getting that cool hinge, more current ports, and branding.

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

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread the issue is. The Android 10-bas
