Posted By: Mahak Sharma 0 Comment , , , ,

 

As the holidays approach the biggest question arises as to what should be that grand pick? Is it a Samsung Tab or a Google Nexus? Let us have a quick glance at the specifications of these brilliant devices offered by the two tech giants.

Distinguishing Features

  1. Google Nexus 10 2: The market is witnesses a never-ending wait towards the release of the second generation Google Nexus 10. It is supposed to sport a 10.1 inches screen, a superb Plane-to-Line Switching TFT touch-screen. It will have an upgraded Gorilla Glass coating. It will have a pixel density of 299 ppi offering 16 million colors.

Google will most probably use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset and a 2.3GHz quad core Krait 400 processor for its Nexus 10 2. Moreover it will have 330 GPU graphics. Google Nexus 10 2 is expected to have a 3GB RAM and will mostly feature Android 4.4 Kitkat.

  1. Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1: Being lightweight this tablet brings grand success to Samsung. With a 64GB of storage expansion it definitely allows you to store anything and everything. It works on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Samsung’s TouchWiz Ul skin. The useful feature named Smart Stay switches the tablet to sleep when the user is looking away from it.

The notification panel can be customized depending on your usage pattern. The device has a TFT touchscreen, 16 million colors with 1280×800 pixels and 149 ppi pixel density.

 

The existing Google Nexus 10 is considered to have better resolution than Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. Hence Google’s Nexus 10 2 is expected to be an improvement over the Nexus 10, which in turn will prove to be a better buy than Samsung Tab 3 10.1. But for a mid-range table the latter offers good qualities.

Cheaper Hasswell Macbook Pro To Be Today , Oct 22: Top Features to Expect

Posted By: Ava 0 Comment , , ,

Get ready for the release of Apple Macbook Pro 2013. There is great hype surrounding the Retina Macbook Pro by Apple Inc. This redesigned Macbook Pro which was revealed by a channel inventory, is well on its way on its release dated 22 October, 2013. Included in the inventory snapshots are revelations of new generation iPad mini, 9.7 inch iPad 5 and Apple TV release.

Expectations from the Macbook Pro  are quite high considering the feature of retina display. The 13 inch and 15 inch Macbook Pros will not be bulky, include a Hasswell chip and have higher processor speeds. The report by Apple Insider also suggests that the product stock levels for the 16 and 32-GB iPad mini are still lofty. Maybe the tech conglomerate is contemplating the sale of non-retina iPad minis at discounted rates. On the other hand, the sale of retina iPad minis is now in the agenda of Apple Inc.

Another reason that validates the rumors of Macbook Pro release are the attractive sales deals found in many shops. So you can expect new Macs and second generation iPad minis, but there is still no news regarding the release of Apple TV.
