Almost Exactly Except Not Edition
Almost Exactly Except Not Edition
Top Story
- The AOKZOE A1 Pro has AMD's latest Ryzen 7840U and up to 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD. (Liliputing)
That should make it close to twice as fast on the CPU side as my new laptop and more than twice as fast on the GPU side. Memory isn't upgradeable but since the entry model has 32GB and 64GB is available as an option, that's not a problem.
Confusingly, it also has a 1920x1200 8" screen covering 100% of sRGB and the other four essential keys - the A, B, X, and Y buttons from an Xbox controller.
Because it's a handheld gaming device and not a tablet or a laptop. It's like they've been reading all my complaints and did their best to produce the perfect device but spilled coffee on the plans at some point.
The Asus ROG Ally has similar specs but is limited to 16GB of RAM and uses a smaller 7" 1920x1080 display. It also nominally uses the AMD Z1 Extreme CPU, but that's just a rebranded 7840U.
Same thing for the Aya Neo Air Plus, Neo 2S, Neo Geek 1S, and the forthcoming Neo Slide.
The Neo Slide being a little different because it actually has a keyboard. Would have been a very useful thing to have when I travelled more - full laptop power that fits in a coat pocket.
Tech News
- Lenovo's Yoga 9i Gen 8 has an Intel 1360P, a 14" 3840x2400 OLED screen, and four non-essential keys where the Four Essential Keys should be so you can reprogram them with Power Toys to do the right thing. (Hot Hardware)
And a maximum of 16GB of soldered RAM because we can't have nice things.
- The Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 8 has an Intel 13700H CPU, a 14" 2880x1800 OLED screen, and two DIMM slots for up to 64GB of RAM. (Liliputing)
And is missing the Four Essential Keys BWCHNT.
I've lost count of the number of pairs like this where if either one borrowed just one feature from the other it would be perfect, but literally nobody has got it right.
- OpenAI, creator of virtual Berkeley English lit sophomore ChatGPT, has raised $300 million on a valuation of of $27 billion. (Tech Crunch)
I look forward to these suckers losing all their money.
