New Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13

Published

on

The launch of the new Windows 8 PCs will be here in a couple of months; so the other manufacturers have to find something that can make their devices to compete in the race. Lenovo has taken some special interest in designing its new computer IdeaPad Yoga 13. There are more laptops that can turn in to a tablet, but the new IdeaPad Yoga 13 has a 360 degree pivot, which makes it look a lot like a convertible.

Design

The new Yoga 13 comes with a sliver color chassis on top and bottom with a black trim on the sides. Lenovo has come up with the same silver neutral color many times in order to attract more customers.

To the left side of the new device, we can find a USB 3.0 port, a HDMI port in full-size, 3.5mm headphone jack, and the volume keys to use when in tablet mode. Moving to the right we have power jack, a 2-in-1 card slot, a USB 2.0 port, and the screen-lock key. The screen-lock key keeps the screen from shifting orientation. And in the front side it has a One Key Recovery button that can be seen on most of the Lenovo laptops. There is no Ethernet port for the new Yoga 13.

The 13.3-inch display and the keyboard are pretty good looking and it features a Windows 8 button so that it can quickly come back to the screen. The new Yoga 13’s trackpad and keyboard are totally black, which deviates from the standard boring sliver color. The black keyboard is hard to see in dim lights as there is no backlighting in the new laptop.

The 360-degree hinge makes the user to turn the new Yoga 13 into many positions; there are four positions that Lenovo has been advertising. First is the traditional laptop mode, in which both the trackpad and keyboard will function. Next is the stand mode, where the user can fold the screen back so that the machine rests on keyboard. It is suited to watch movies in this mode.

Then the third mode is the tent mode in which the user can bend the computer on its end so that it resembles a tent when resting on a surface. The last is the tablet mode in which the user can fold the computer completely to form like a slate. One good thing is that the trackpad and keyboard will get deactivated for all the modes except for the laptop mode.

The new IdeaPad Yoga 13 doesn’t offer much like the current ultrabooks. It is expected that the Hardware package contains 4GB of RAM, Intel Core i5-3317U clocked at 1.7GHz, and SSD with 128 GB. But, the speed will be disappointing for the new Yoga 13.

The firm has an $11 price target, now implying 14% upside.

Eros International (NYSE:EROS) is up 5.8% today, making up the last week’s lost ground, after news that its streaming service Eros Now is partnering with Sony India (SNE +2.3%).

That will mean Eros Now’s app is pre-installed on selected Sony smart televisions in India, along with availability on a large base of existing models (Bravia E series and newer).

The country over the past year has seen a 25% growth in demand for smart TVs, fueled by overall industry growth of 15%, to a record 15M units/year.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): US agencies investigate fatal Tesla Model 3 crash in Florida

Published

on

American safety officials are looking into the circumstances surrounding another fatal Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) crash. Both the NTSB and the NHTSA have confirmed that they’re investigating a collision between a Model 3 and a semi truck in Delray Beach, Florida on March 1st. According to the police report, the truck was turning left to enter a main thoroughfare when the Model 3 crashed into the semi’s trailer, shearing off the car’s roof and killing the driver. It’s not certain if Autopilot was active, although the Model 3 kept traveling for more than 500 yards before coming to a stop.

Why ASDN Could Massively Outperform TSLA in 2019

Tesla said in a statement that it was “deeply saddened” about the collision and was “reaching out” to authorities to cooperate. The NTSB added that it typically takes one to two years to complete investigations like this.

This certainly isn’t the first time US safety agencies have investigated Tesla crashes to determine the possible role of Autopilot. However, there are unusually close parallels to a deadly incident from May 2016, when a Model S driver in Florida struck a trailer. His vehicle had Autopilot engaged and also kept going a significant distance after the crash, although investigators cleared Tesla and noted that the driver in that case ignored safety warnings. While the particular circumstances are different, it wouldn’t be out of the question for agents to compare the two cases.
