This keyboard comes with its own ‘Dynamic Island’ and electronic ink keys that change languages

Posted on by

The Gauge keyboard was designed two full years before the iPhone got the Dynamic Island, but conceptually it shows how a well-placed screen can make a pretty sizeable difference to a product’s UI, offering up much more function than the ‘Touch Bar’ Apple put on their MacBooks.

Designed as a truly global keyboard, the Gauge was envisioned as a gadget that enables typing while breaking boundaries of language, culture, and linguistic biases. The keyboard itself comes with electronic ink displays in each key, allowing the entire board’s layout and language to change with a simple adjustment in the settings. You can swap to another language, change to an emoji keyboard, or even add layouts of your own depending on the software or game you’re currently in. The electronic ink keys are supported by that dynamic island on the top right that lets you access keyboard functions, desktop shortcuts, and get notifications on your keyboard at a glance, eliminating the need to look at your phone or watch.

Designer: Designer Dot

The keyboard is centered around universality, with keys that adapt and adjust to make everyone feel welcome. “In the modern society where various languages are used in one region, conventional keyboards consisting only of specific languages are difficult for a third-language user to use, making them feel discriminated,” says Designer Dot, the creator behind the keyboard concept. The keyboard’s display-based key system is a clever way to help it change layouts on command. Electronic ink offers a high contrast while consuming hardly any power… although it would be impossible to add a backlight to this keyboard.

In all honesty, Gauge’s display is really a static island with a dynamic interior. The island doesn’t change in shape or size like it does on the iPhone 14 Pro, but it itself is dynamic. It functions as a touch bar, widget, and notification center all at once, giving you a secondary screen to look at when your main screen is busy with information. The dynamic island can function as a touch bar, letting you access an app tray, or can even help display information like alerts, weather updates, or other information like flight information as shown in the GIF above.

The rest of the keyboard’s design feels fairly standard. It’s tilted at a slight angle, offering ergonomic support, while the keys themselves sit within a silicone enclosure that helps dampen the noise created while typing. The keyboard also has silicone feet that keep it from slipping around, and a USB-C on the back helps charge the device, which otherwise is designed to be entirely wireless.

Logitech’s latest $69 webcam is a mid-tier must-have for people on a budget

Posted on by

You could somehow figure out how to use your iPhone camera as a desktop webcam… or you could spend $69.99 on the Logitech Brio 300 and get yourself a pretty nifty webcam that’s capable of recording at full HD with auto light-correction and a noise-reducing microphone for a video experience that’s pleasantly surprising and well worth the money.

It’s funny how laptop and desktop manufacturers have absolutely dropped the ball on webcams. Everyone’s so focused on sleek builds and powerful CPUs and GPUs that nobody really managed to realize in the past 3 years that the webcam is now integral to businesses. “We surveyed more than 3,000 remote workers* and found that most non-webcam users struggle with poor lighting conditions, unflattering camera angles, and low-quality sound from their laptop speakers,” said Scott Wharton, general manager of Logitech B2B. The Brio 300 was designed to cater to that audience, who just needed a reliable, budget-friendly work-horse for teleconferencing. The Brio 300 isn’t a cutting-edge 4K camera (like its elder sibling, the Brio 4K), but it handles the basic tasks very well. A 70° field of view captures just the right amount and puts you perfectly in the frame (without showing the clutter around you), while auto light correction helps adjust your picture regardless of whether you’re in a dark-ish room or you have harsh light falling on your face and creating a color-burn. Finally, the built-in noise-reducing microphone focuses on just your voice and not the cacophony of kids playing, dogs barking, or cars honking around you.

Brio 300 series webcams are perfect for those who want to make the easy but substantial jump to significantly improve their video meeting experiences with an external webcam,” Wharton mentions. “And for companies who need to provide certified, simple-to-use webcams to employees’ home or office workstations, Brio 305 is that budget-friendly option.”

The webcam is a compact device that comes with a monitor clamp and a USB-C cable that works right off the bat. The plug-and-play webcam is certified for use with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, and has a manual privacy shutter that lets you close off the camera lens whenever the Brio 300 isn’t in use.

The Brio 300 sports an unconventional cone-shaped design that feels rather individualistic and comes in three colors – rose, off-white, and graphite (pairing rather harmoniously with Logitech’s mice and keyboards). Like other Logitech products, the camera’s designed using recycled materials. The Brio 300 is made from at least 48% certified post-consumer recycled plastic for the Off-white and Rose variants, and a stunning 62% for the Graphite variant.

Apple’s smallest Macintosh device finally gets the M2 chip upgrade

Posted on by

Apple quietly announced the latest developments in their flagship M2 chip, revealing the M2 Pro and M2 Max. The Mac Mini got its first taste of the M2 ever since its M1 counterpart was released in November 2021. With both M2 and M2 Pro versions, the Mac Mini is the fastest and most power-packed Macintosh machine for its size and outshines most Windows desktops by being at least 5x faster than the best-selling Windows desktop configuration, and the M2 Pro being a whopping 14x faster than Apple’s own Intel-based Mac Mini.

Designer: Apple

The new Mac Mini’s design hasn’t really changed much since it was first launched, making it perhaps one of the only products that Apple’s kept the same over the years. The design of the compact device has stayed relatively the same since 2010 when Apple unveiled the 3rd Gen Mac Mini with an aluminum unibody and no optical drive. It’s a rare example of a form factor that has served the company exceptionally well, allowing them to focus on the thing that really matters – its performance.

The Mac Mini, which starts at just $599, now comes in M2 and M2 Pro variants. Both variants are exactly the same size, come with Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3, and the only real discernible difference between the two is really the availability of ports on the rear. The M2 Pro, clearly designed for more heavy-duty use, comes with four Thunderbolt 4 ports as opposed to the M2’s two ports.

The M2 chipsets give the Mac Mini a bigger punch in the same size format, which Apple highlighted while describing the new Mac Mini as the perfect Mac for small businesses, allowing every aspect of a company’s operation to be run on a single Mac Mini. The hardware is well suited for photo and video editing thanks to the powerful GPU and Neural Engine but handles music production incredibly well too. Productivity remains a strong sell for the Mac Mini, although Apple even (rather surprisingly) highlighted the device’s gaming capabilities too. Something to think about? Is Apple working on expanding its Arcade to other devices? Or is this just the groundwork for the company’s eventual AR glasses reveal? Stay tuned to find out!

The Lenovo Yoga AIO 9i all-in-one PC is just as pretty on the back as it is on the front…

Posted on by

Crafted to look like a sophisticated visual balancing act, the Lenovo Yoga AIO is a marvel of design and engineering. This absolute looker of an all-in-one PC comes with an expansive 31.5-inch, 3-side borderless, 4K 100% sRGB display connected to its base by a gorgeously minimal metal hinge that lets you adjust the display angle to your liking. On the base, you’ve got 7 ports for better cable management, including a pass-through USB-C port that lets you charge both your AIO as well as a laptop (if you’re using it as an external display). The circular base, although compact, even comes with built-in Harman Kardon speakers, along with a dedicated wireless charging zone for your smartphone or AirPods.

Designer: Lenovo

Just looking at its design, you know that the Yoga AIO 9i was made for creatives. It’s powerful, but it isn’t a work horse, it’s a majestic stallion, with an interplay between black and bronze, and a use of minimal geometric detailing to make the all-in-one PC look like a work of art. The device comes with compatibility for 13th Gen Intel i7 and i9 processors that can be paired with an NVIDIA GeForce Next-Gen Laptop GPU to give you a machine capable of heavy photo/video editing as well as gaming.

The minimal-yet-ornate all-in-one PC still manages to have a few tricks up its sleeve. It comes with its own 5MP infrared webcam with a built-in electric shutter and smart login capabilities. You’ve also got four Harman Kardon speakers under the hood (2 tweeters and 2 subwoofers), and Dolby Atmos audio for an immersive audio experience to match the 4K imagery on the display. Yes, there’s a 3.5mm jack on the back too, if you’ve got better speakers or headphones available. Impressively enough, the Yoga AIO 9i still manages all this while having an aggressively reduced carbon footprint. 75% of all the aluminum used in its manufacturing is recycled, and the dedicated keyboard that comes with your Lenovo Yoga AIO 9i contains up to 65% post-consumer recycled ABS plastic. The Yoga AIO 9i is expected to be available starting in Q3 2023, and is priced at $1799.99.

Acer Chromebox CX15 and Add-in-One 24 land at CES 2023 to upgrade offices and classrooms

Posted on by

Google’s Web-centric Chrome OS had humble beginnings, catering primarily to educational and business sectors using low-power and affordable laptops. Chromebooks today, however, are a far cry from their ancestors from nearly a decade ago, and Chrome OS itself has undergone a rather radical transformation worthy of rivaling the big operating systems. Aside from supporting multiple platforms like Android and Linux, Chrome OS devices now also come in different forms, like the modest Chromebox. It’s pretty much a mini PC running Chrome OS, but there’s no rule that says it has to be just a box that sits on top of your desk or hidden behind it. At CES 2023, Acer is doing more than just show off its new and shiny Chromebox, it’s also introducing a new “Add-in-One” solution that helps make the Chromebox more practical and more space efficient in the places where it’s needed the most.

Designer: Acer

At the heart of Acer’s new Chrome OS lineup is the Chromebox CX15 and its business-minded sibling, the Chromebox Enterprise CX15. On its own, it’s already a fine device that you won’t feel embarrassed to be seen on your desk, whether lying flat or standing up. Powered by 12th-gen Intel Core processors with up to 16GB of DDR4 memory, the Chromebox has all the processing muscle you need for your business workflows as well as educational programs. The Chromebox Enterprise CX15 also comes with business-minded solutions, including Chrome Enterprise Upgrade, Intel vPro, hardware-based security, and integrated malware protection.

Acer Chromebox CX15:

Despite its simple looks, the Chromebox CX15 checks all the boxes for integrating the mini PC into your office or school system. In addition to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 wireless connectivity, the box has a variety of ports and expansion slots to extend its capabilities. It can even support up to four external displays thanks to a tandem of USB-C ports and dual HDMI 2.1 ports. As a compact box, the Chromebox CX15 can be placed almost anywhere, including behind a monitor, courtesy of its VESA mount kit.

Where it really shines is in the Acer Add-in-One 24, and no, that isn’t a type. This is a tag-team productivity package composed of a Chromebox CX15 or Chromebox Enterprise CX15 and a 24-inch 1080p FHD monitor. The Chromebox CX15 slides inside a specially-designed dock on the back of that monitor, making it trivial to replace it with a backup unit in a worst-case scenario. There are also specialized screws that prevent the unauthorized separation of these two devices.

Acer Add-in-One 24:

The monitor itself is a perfect complement to the Chromebox CX15, providing a built-in 115-degree wide-angle 5MP webcam that has become necessary for both work and school these days. That camera comes with a physical shutter to protect users’ privacy when it isn’t in use. There are also dual mics and dual 4-watt speakers for video conferences and communication. Thin bezels maximize the viewable area of the screen, and the ability to tilt the screen gives lets users adjust the monitor to their comfort. With this space-saving two-in-one solution, the Acer Add-in-One 24 delivers a complete all-in-one package that still leaves plenty of room for changes and customization down the road.

  • The Acer Chromebox CX15 will launch in North America sometime in the first quarter, starting at $289.99
  • The Acer Add-in-One 24 will also arrive in Q1 with a starting price of $609.99

Slightly premium here is the Swift 14 which comes in an aerospace-grade aluminum chassis and has diamond-cut edges. With OceanGlass touchpad complementing the premium design, the laptop along with the Swift X 14 is powered by 13-gen Intel Core H-series processors. The latter features NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU and touts color accurate 2.8K OLED display. The Swift 14 has WQXGA (2560×1600) display topped with Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla glass.

The highlight still is the slim yet powerful Acer Aspire S all-in-one PCs that come with Windows 11. Provided in 32 and 27-inch variants, these are also powered by a 13-gen Intel Core processor with Intel Iris and Inte Arc series graphics. Offering seamless computing, the PCs feature a sleek aluminum chassis with a near-borderless screen and are designed for better viewing with a tiltable display. For the work-from-home generation, the PCs provide additional convenience with a magnetically mounted 1080p FHD webcam.

Efficient multitasking is the need of the hour, which Acer intends to cater to with the Aspire 5 series notebooks drawing power from intel’s 13-generation chipsets. Built-in with Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics, these machines made for multitasking are content creators’ best pal. Running on 1TB SSD paired with 32 gigs of RAM, the notebooks have advanced AI technology for raytracing and feature a 1080p FHD webcam. TwinAir cooling keeps these machines cool inside out, while a host of ports cater to all your peripheral needs.

If you’re someone in the market not for a laptop or PC but for a smart speaker, Acer has got you covered with the Halo Swing Smart Speaker with Google Assistant. Featuring DTS Sound and LED dot display, the speaker guarantees durable form factor with IPX5-rating for water and dust resistance.

teenage engineering desktop PC case exudes raw power with a retro-futuristic vibe

Posted on by

Unless you’re a PC gamer, you most likely want to hide your desktop PC’s tall chassis from sight. Either that or you have opted for more recent desktops that are embracing modern, sometimes minimalist designs that you’d actually want to flaunt on your desk. People’s tastes vary, of course, and some computer users might not be so taken by the smooth and polished bodies of these elegant towers. Fortunately, you don’t have to feel stuck between flashy and bare with this new variant of teenage engineering’s unique and head-turning computer case, designed to be simple yet also expressive, now with an almost brutalist character that makes it feel like a post-apocalyptic computer of the future.

Designer: teenage engineering

teenage engineering designs have always been notable for their unorthodox nature and artistic personalities. Almost like a teen, there is a certain rebelliousness to its products, going against the status quo and thinking outside the box. Nowhere is that more evident than in the computer-1 desktop PC case that is like a nod to the days when computer users had to assemble every part of the PC in their garages or rooms.

The computer-1 case isn’t distinctive only because of its pure orange RAL 2004 powder-coated finish, which is definitely the most unexpected color for a desktop PC. Its claim to fame is that, unlike the chassis you’d buy from computer stores, this one has to be assembled even before you can cram in a mini ITX motherboard and other components. Flat-packed as sheets of metal with a few other parts, this makes the computer-1 more efficient to make and ship, not to mention giving owners a little adventure in piecing everything together.

teenage engineering is now offering this one-of-a-kind computer case in a new color, embracing a more “normal” raw anodized aluminum finish. It isn’t as shiny as, say, an Apple Mac Pro, and it really emphasizes that raw appearance. On the one hand, the overall design looks like something you might have cobbled up on your own due to a lack of materials available. On the other hand, that unfinished appearance does give it a distinctive personality, like a computer that’s built to be able to rough it out, regardless of what load you throw at it.

In all other aspects, it’s exactly the same computer-1 case that the brand launched quite a while back, meaning it has the same space-saving footprint and accessible price tag. And, of course, that means you’ll also have to do that nerve-wracking bending step when putting it together, but that’s pretty much part of the appeal of this rather quirky desktop PC box.

Lenovo’s new 4K webcam and desk station combo make it the most comprehensive WFH video solution

Posted on by

Designed as an efficiency upgrade to your current WFH setup, Lenovo’s new Go Desk Station and Webcam give you the best of all worlds. Not only does the webcam boast a 4K resolution with the ability to use AI to track the user (along with a manual shutter to protect your privacy when not in use), it plugs into the Go Desk Station, an adaptable tabletop solution with a built-in adjustable LED light, a multiport hub, and a slide-out 15W wireless charging area for your smartphone. Together, the Go Desk Station and Webcam help collectively upgrade as well as declutter your workspace, removing unnecessary cables, tripods, and other accessories that may occupy crucial space on your ‘area of productivity’.

Designer: Lenovo

The Lenovo Go 4K Webcam comes as a standalone unit, with a monitor clamp that lets it attach to laptops and desktops alike. The webcam is built for video conferencing (certified for Microsoft Teams) and high-resolution streaming, with AI-assisted autofocus, auto-framing, auto ambient light adjustability, a maximum resolution of 4K at 30fps, and support for HDR. It sports a manual privacy shutter that lets you physically block the camera lens when you don’t want to be viewed and an LED light that tells you if the device (or the microphone) is still running.

The webcam, although a pretty capable piece of hardware, is made even more functional when it’s plugged out of its monitor clamp and docked into Lenovo’s Go Desk Station. The Desk Station sports an adjustable arm with LED lights that help illuminate your tabletop space, with the ability to control brightness as well as color temperature using a control surface on the base. You can either plug the webcam into the top of the Desk Station (for portrait use) or at the end of the light arm, giving you two different orientations to choose from.

At the base of the Desk Station lie a few other features that make it such a compelling productivity tool. For starters, it comes with a pop-out tray with a  built-in wireless charging coil, capable of 15W Qi-certified charging for your phones as well as TWS earbuds. The Lenovo Go Desk Station comes with a 135W power input, and sports a 65W passthrough USB-C port that you can directly connect your laptop to and eliminate the laptop charger entirely. There’s also an additional 20W USB-C port on the front for charging other devices, as well as 2 USB-A ports on the back, along with an HDMI port for connecting an external monitor to your setup, capable of 4K at 60fps.

Lenovo unveils two eco-conscious ThinkVision mini-LED monitors with 4K and human presence detection built-in

Posted on by

For editors, VFX specialists, and creatives; creating content that stands out is of umpteen importance. To achieve this, high-quality visuals are essential for delivering impactful creations. This gives rise to the demand for monitors capable of delivering accurate colors and high contrast to limit inaccuracies. Whilst all the brands tussling it out for the consumer share, Lenovo with the ThinkVision displays has been able to impress the content creators to the core courtesy of best-in-class color accuracy.

Expanding on the already thriving display tech, Lenovo has rolled out a duo of mini-LED monitors in the ThinkVision line-up made from post-consumer recycled materials throughout with the base comprising 90 percent aluminum. Dubbed the ThinkVision P27pz-30 and P32pz-30, the monitors feature backlit displays featuring thousands of mini-LEDs.

Designer: Lenovo

Staying true to ThinkVision’s trusted image as high-end monitors for creators, these two monitors tout 4K resolution (3840 x 2160p). The two monitors are available in 27- and 31.5-inch display sizes while the screen supports HDR10 and Display HDR1000 certification.

Lenovo suggests the monitors feature 1,152 dimming zones, which essentially minimize the blurring halo effect, and allow the screen to deliver deeper blacks, high contrast, and brighter lit areas for a crispy, natural-colored image. The screens can reach a peak brightness of 1200 nits with the native software allowing for easy color correction.

What really makes these two displays stand out is their three-sided borderless design. There is a broad chin, but otherwise, the three other sides have a negligible bezel. With a 16:9 aspect ratio and 178-degree viewing angle, the monitors have a low 60Hz refresh rate. So, no matter the vividness when it comes to displaying the brightest visuals from the color gamut, the screens are not the best for someone with a gaming aspect in mind.

For the ones who really like saving the littlest possible energy, these irresistible mini-LED displays feature human detection and light sensors. The former is not a new feature in monitors, but it effectively dims the screen when the monitor detects the user has stepped away, the light sensors on the other hand automatically adjust the screen brightness to sync with the ambient lighting, to minimize stress on the user’s eyes.

Interestingly, both the ThinkVision P27pz-30 and P32pz-30 can connect with laptops, tablets or smartphones using USB-C or ThunderboltTM. Being OS-agnostic (capable of running with any operating system) these ThinkVision Mini LED monitors can also support two additional UHD displays. Offering impressive data transfer speeds, the Lenovo monitors offer three Type-C, four Type-A, and two HDMI 2.1 ports along with DP and Enternet ports for connectivity.
