LG's smartphone division records losses in Q3 2017

LG has released its financial report for Q3 to the public, with the smartphone division of the company once again recording heavy losses. It's hard to pinpoint the faults in LG's business model at the moment but there's no doubt that some re-strategizing has to be done.

Microsoft Surface Laptop (i7-7660U)

85% Microsoft Surface (i7-7660U) Laptop Review

The wolf in sheep's clothing? Why is there another review of the Microsoft Surface Laptop i7? Is this just a rebranding of the recently released i5-based Surface Laptop, but with an Intel Core i7-7660U instead of the i5-7200U? So it is faster and more expensive. And this is what comes to mind at a first glance, however the devil is in the details. There is one thing that we can tell you right off the bat, though: It is becoming scarce!
Intel Core i7-7660U, Iris Plus Graphics 640, 13.5", 1.3 kg

Huawei Nova 3 slated for December launch, Kirin 670 in tow

Huawei is set to launch its new Nova 3 in December. The high-end device looks to replicate most of what we've seen on the Nova 2i, with the slight difference being the Kirin 670 it will feature—an SoC we believe may provide worthy competition to the Snapdragon 660.
