Huawei's best MateBook laptops are $200 off from now until August 14

Deal | Huawei's best MateBook laptops are $200 off from now until August 14

Huawei really wants to clear stock of its 2018 laptops and tablets. These high-end MateBook systems will probably be the closest Windows laptops you can get to a MacBook without actually getting a MacBook and running Boot Camp.

Intel's 10nm Ice Lake CPUs seem to offer great single-core performance. (Source: Intel)

10th gen 'Ice Lake' Core i7-1065G7 Geekbench score reaffirms Intel's hegemony in laptops, offers single-core performance on par with an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

A Geekbench score of the Intel Core i7-1065G7 'Ice Lake' running on the HP Spectre x360 convertible laptop is now available and seems to indicate very strong single-core performance that can rival processors much higher TDP such as the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. Intel's 10nm could offer a significant advantage over AMD at least in the laptop segment with even more improved IPCs.

The NumPad and Arrow keys of the Asus VivoBook S15 are smaller, spongier, and more cramped than the main QWERTY keys despite having adjacent extra space for larger key caps

Opinion | The small NumPad and Arrow keys on most laptops are a joke

If you rely on NumPad and Arrow keys, then you've probably already discovered that these keys are almost always smaller than the main QWERTY keys on most laptops. The resulting experience is noticeably spongier, more cramped, and usually a pain to use when compared to a proper desktop keyboard. Large 17.3-inch laptops are especially guilty of these smaller keys despite having the space for full-size key caps.

Performance will be just shy of a $2000 laptop with Intel Core i9 and RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics but for significantly less money. This 17.3-inch Acer Predator desktop replacement throws efficiency out the window for raw power.

Dell is equipping the XPS 15 7590 with different heatsinks depending on the configuration you buy

Contrary to Dell's service manual, not all XPS 15 7590 machines come with the same heatsink. Only the Core i9 models appear to have full VRM cooling, with Dell equipping the other SKUs with a slightly lesser cooler. As its predecessors demonstrated, all XPS 15 need active VRM cooling, so why the penny-pinching Dell?

Having a Max-Q GPU makes a lot of sense considering the form factor of the chassis. The quiet update also adds new 9th gen Core i7 CPU options and a 4K UHD OLED panel that will likely be the same Samsung panel as found on the current Razer Blade 15, Gigabyte Aero 15, and Dell XPS 15 7590.

What really happened to the Eve V? Its manufacturer finally explains itself

The Eve V was once hailed as a 'Surface Pro killer', as it offered a worthy alternative to this 2-in-1 (on paper at least) at a low price compared to that of the Microsoft product. However, its manufacturer (also called Eve) ran into difficulty due to supply issues that delayed shipments for many users. This OEM now claims to have resolved these problems.

Undervolting the XPS 15 7590's GPU might be needed to prevent throttling. (Source: Dell)

Redditor finds a solution to the Dell XPS 15 7590's GPU throttling issue

A Redditor has found that undervolting the GPU in the Dell XPS 15 7590 is necessary to prevent its throttling. The GTX 1650 in the latest XPS 15 is reported to throttle severely as soon as it hits 75 °C under load at the stock voltage of 800 mV. Lowering the maximum voltage to 700 mV was found to not only allow longer sustained performance but also lowered the operating voltage to 68 °C.

South Korea / Japan trade war could lead to DRAM memory price spikes

As the tensions between South Korea and Japan escalate, prices for NAND and DRAM chips are primed for substantial spikes over the remainder of 2019. In the past 2 weeks, prices already increased by 15% and the demand for DDR4 RAM modules caused by the recent launch of the Ryzen 3000 CPUs is also adding to the appreciation process.

Unassuming gamer. The hardware of the Schenker XMG Core 17 brings all the current games smoothly to the matte 17.3-inch screen (144 Hz, FHD, IPS). This notebook can be configured very individually. For example, it offers space for up to three storage units (2x M.2-2280, 1x 2.5 in) and can handle up to 64 GB of working memory. In addition, the BIOS allows undervolting of the CPU and iGPU. While the notebook does not show any huge weaknesses, we could complain about the lack of a Thunderbolt-3 port.

If you thought you were crazy covering your laptop webcam with paper, you're not alone. A continent-wide survey conducted earlier this year has revealed that nearly 80 percent of respondents would rather just turn off their webcams to avoid fears of hacking. Women in particular are more worried about their laptops being compromised and are more likely to tape over or disable their webcams.
