Acer Predator Helios 500 with Core i7 and I9 options (Image source: mobimaniak.pl)

Polish retailer leaks Acer Predator Helios 500 with Intel Core i9, promptly pulls down listing

If the unconfirmed prices are accurate, then we can expect the Core i7-8750H and Core i9-8950HK SKUs to retail for approximately $2600 USD and $3500 USD, respectively, with an uncommon 144 Hz IPS 1080p display. The Helios 500 looks to be a completely new design compared to the existing Helios 300 with even larger rear ventilation grilles.

Not only for students. The new 14-inch ThinkPad T480 is being offered right now at a large discount through Lenovo’s Campus Program. The business laptop is set to follow in the footsteps of its successful predecessor T470 (91%). Our review device comes with an Intel Core i7-8550U CPU and an Nvidia GeForce MX150. We explore in this review whether the updated hardware can make the new ThinkPad a success and whether it can score some major points in the “soft” areas such as the temperature, volume, energy consumption and battery life.

The XPS 15 9575 is the first laptop to ship on the new Intel-AMD RX Vega M platform.

Unfortunately, the XPS 15 9575 2-in-1 has soldered RAM

Dell's much-awaited 15-inch convertible, the XPS 15 9575, went on sale yesterday. Although Dell originally touted up to 32GB of RAM, it seems that this configuration is impossible to attain for the time being. The XPS 15 9575's RAM is all soldered, and the 32GB SKU will not be available for some time.

The ground floor of a tarpaulin store in Letchworth was destroyed when a HP laptop that was left for overnight charging exploded. The explosion and subsequent spreading of flames was caught on a CCTV camera and while there were no luckily no casualties in the incident, it does serve to remind us of the latent danger in leaving devices to charge overnight.

Nvidia quietly shipping slower GeForce MX150 '1D12' variant with some Ultrabooks (Image source: Nvidia)

Nvidia has been sneaking in slower GeForce MX150 '1D12' variant onto some Ultrabooks

[March 28, 2018 update] Be on the lookout for notebooks shipping with the MX150 'N17S-LG-A1' or '1D12' variant as GPU performance can be 20 to 25 percent slower than a "standard" MX150. The '1D12' label is essentially the Max-Q version of the MX150 and Nvidia has not been explicitly distinguishing between the two distinct MX150 versions in any of its promotional material thus far.
