Best Official Certified Refurbs: ASUS & Lenovo Laptops

If you’re ever on the hunt for cheap electronics like laptops, you are going to be seeing the word “Refurbished” almost everywhere. Refurbished laptops are often identified as mere fault electronics, or simply customer returns who changed their mind upon receiving the device. Although that may be true to some extent, these laptops are professionally reverted back and retested so they can be used again. It is also noticeable that refurbished laptops are generally cheaper than brand new laptops.

Refurbished laptops can be anything from unwanted gifts to a thoroughly used laptop gone for repairing and available to buy again. Laptop brands like ASUS and Lenovo vigorously test their electronics so that it doesn’t have any defects upon next use.

The Benefits of Refurbished Laptops

RAM: 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage
Display: 12.5-inch Multi-Touch Full HD Display (1920 x 1080 Resolution)
Camera: 2MP Rear + 2MP Front Camera
OS: Windows 10

Here is a quick glance of the Linx 12X64:

Display & Design

It may not have the best display out there, but the Linx 12X64 does have a Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display, making the laptop a huge bargain to buy. The laptop has an incredibly low black level of 0.25cd/m2 at maximum brightness thanks to its presentable contrast ratio of 1148:1.

Despite the simple hard plastic shell, the sleek aluminium kickstand is infinitely adjustable so you can easily pop the up the laptop on a desk or lay it flat simply by folding the kickstand away. The keyboard is attached to the bottom of the tablet with a magnetic strip, making the keyboard extra-comfortable to type on. The Linx 12X64 is even easier to navigate with an accurate trackpad built-in under the spacebar.

Performance & Battery Life

The Linx 12X64 comes with fairly reasonable performance as an inexpensive alternative of the Surface Pro. Equipped with a 1.44GHz quad-core Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor and 4GB RAM, the laptop is more than sufficient for web browsing, light multi-tasking and different kinds of office work.

The battery life of the Linx 12×64 is brilliant so you won’t have to worry about taking a charger along on the go! It’s not for intensive gaming, but it’s perfect as a multitasking device for everyday. It is definitely adequate to help you with your heavy workload at university or at work. The laptop is able to run for more than 7 hours before it runs out of battery. Its USB-chargeable feature makes it a great travel companion too – simply connect it to your external devices.

Final Verdict:

The Linx 12X64 is an impressive device given the fact that you’re getting a 2-in-1 Window 10 laptop with a Full HD Display, a bundled detachable keyboard and a long-lasting battery at under £300. It is an exceptional low-cost choice particularly if you’re a student on budget looking for something practical to handle your day-to-day tasks.

Apple

New MacBook Pro 2018: release date, news & rumours

Rumours are rapidly spreading about Apple’s launch of the new MacBook Pro 2018. As usual, Apple is expected to refresh the hardware of its MacBook Pro line this year, but a new report suggests there won’t be any significant updates in the portfolio. Read on to find out more about the new MacBook Pro 2018 release date, news & rumours!

The report reveals that Apple has reallocated MacBook Pro orders from Quanta to Foxconn so as to reduce costs and minimise risks. For the past couple of years, Foxconn has taken up around 20% of MacBook Pro orders with Quanta occupying the remaining 80%. This year, Quanta will remain as a manufacturer but it may lose about 30% of its orders to Foxconn, resulting in an even split of orders between the two MacBook Pro makers. Apple is comfortable to make such changes as it has no plans to bring any major upgrades to the new MacBook Pro.

This implies that the key feature of the top end MacBook Pro, the Touch Bar, will not be introduced to 2018’s MacBook Pro model. It would be difficult for Apple to market the Touch Bar as a significant part of the MacBook family if the feature isn’t available throughout the MacBook Pro collection. Apple’s determination to push the limits on laptop and desktop design is questionable.

Despite the disappointment, the 2018 model of MacBook Pro will be released with refreshed components.

Design & Display

It’d be quite surprising if the appearance of 2018’s MacBook Pro was distinctively different from the 2016 model. After all, keeping the same chassis design for a few generations has been Apple’s common practice up until now. So the new MacBook Pro is likely to retain the business-like silver and Space Grey colour options.

Apple may possibly increase the pixel count on the 15-inch MacBook Pro, giving the new machine a 4K display so that it can compete with Dell, HP and ASUS.

Performance

The next generation of MacBook Pro is likely to be powered by Intel’s Coffee Lake processor, meaning that the 13-inch version could finally shift from dual-core to quad-core. The Coffee Lake processor will bring about a 30% performance boost over the current Kaby Lake processors while lowering power consumption! With the new processor, 32GB of RAM will also be a possible feature of the MacBook Pro 2018.

Release Date & Price

Apple may release its latest MacBook Pro in June 2018 in order to coincide with WWDC, a conference held in California where Apple showcases its new software and technologies to software developers.

The potentially lower price may be the most exciting thing about the new Macbook Pro 2018! Since Foxconn is a slightly more affordable manufacturer than Quanta, Apple is able to make this device more affordable for consumers.

There you have it – everything about the new MacBook Pro 2018: release date, news and rumours! Although we are not expecting any majorly ground-breaking new features on the MacBook Pro 2018, the functionality of the new model will certainly not disappoint. Just the anticipation of MacBook or MacBook Air 2018 is enough to keep us excited!

In terms of screen size, the XA2 has a 5.5-inch display, while the XA2 Ultra features a 6-inch screen. Both phones offer 1080p HD displays, Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processors and the latest Android Oreo.

The Xperia L2 is the low-cost version, ideal for anyone on a budget. The new phone is still sophisticated despite its smaller price tag; it features a 5.5-inch display, a quad-core MediaTek MT6737T processor, 3GB RAM and is backed by Android Nougat. We are yet to know more about the Xperia L2 after it launches later this month, who else is excited?

3. NVIDIA BFGDs

Holder of one of the first conferences of CES 2018, the GPU giant NVIDIA announced its new Big Format Gaming Displays (BFGDs), a new initiative to create the most outstanding PC gaming screens.

Tech News Technology

Microsoft Office Finally Arrives on Chromebooks

Exciting news for Chromebook users: Your frustration of not able to use Microsoft Office is finally coming to an end! All Chromebooks can now run the widely used Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, PowerPoint and Word.

It’s been a year since Microsoft started to work on bringing its Office suite to Google Chromebooks. The time it took was understandable especially when the two companies are competitors when it comes to office productivity software. Now the wait is finally over. For the very first time, Microsoft Office is accessible to Chromebook users via the Google Play Store as a general release.

The Microsoft Office suite has been available for a while on a small number of Chromebooks, for instance, the Pixelbook, yet this time users of all Chromebooks can get their hands on the Microsoft package. This new Android application tailored for the Google laptops is basically the same as the existing Microsoft office app except that it has been optimised to be used on Chromebooks’ larger displays. Chromebook owners will be able to enjoy the exact features of the app’s mobile version with more ease.

Despite the excitement brought by Microsoft Office’s grand arrival, there are a few limitations to be paid attention to. To start with, the free version of Microsoft Office is only available on Chromebooks with screens no larger than 10.1 inches like the ASUS Chromebook Flip C100PA. Anything larger than that will require an Office 365 subscription in order to get the applications running on your device.

Also, the ability to run the Office Android app on older Chromebook models is still restricted, as Google Play is mainly supported by the latest Chromebooks.

Due to the above limitations, there will be no surprise if Google’s G Suite remains as the favourite for Chromebook owners. Perhaps this explains why Microsoft has not made much noise about the release of their most popular applications on Chromebooks – no formal announcement regarding the arrival has been made, and they have not provided any comment on the news of the release of the app. Nevertheless, it does offer another option for the users as well as businesses using Microsoft’s software. After all, Microsoft Office does have a secure fan base thanks to its rich features.

The arrival of Microsoft Office on Chromebooks is anyhow remarkable as it is a big move for Microsoft that marks its recognition of Google’s lightweight laptops as an increasingly popular platform. Stay up to date with more tech news at www.laptopoutletblog.co.uk.
