The Twelve South Book Book case is made of genuine leather.  There is a full size pocket which can be used to store receipts, cash and whatnot. In other words, it can replace your wallet.

Check out Uniq Aircraft iPhone 6 case. Another very unique case for iPhone 6.
However it does makes the overall profile very thick and bulky. Others will think why you are carrying a Bible with you the whole time. Twelve South found a solution by allowing user to detach the iPhone 6 Plus from the wallet case and at the same time, adding protection to the back by still keeping it inside a thin shell case.

With a quick slide to the left, the shell lifts completely out – so you can leave your wallet in a locker and take your phone to the treadmill. Carry your iPhone wallet combo when you need it, or just your Shell-covered iPhone when you don’t. This slim shell might fit better in your dashboard clip or on your desktop charging stand.

Macbook 2015 Core M 5Y71 benchmark and passmark

The base variant of the Apple Macbook 2015 features an Intel Core M 5Y71 processor. This processor is based on Intel Broadwell architecture and is manufactured using 14 nm manufacturing process. This means that it produces very little heat during operation. In fact the TDP  a k a thermal design power is mere 4.5 watts. Intel Core M 5Y71 scored 2699 in the passmark benchmark test.

macbook 2015 benchmarks

While the processor support up to 16GB of memory, you will not be able to upgrade it since everything is soldered on to the motherboard. They all come with 8GB RAM and there are no RAM options. It’s just basically different SSD and different CPU options.

In the Cinebench R15 (CPU Multi 64Bit) test, it scored 196.5.
In Geek bench 3 it scored 4207.

While both of these scores are not extra ordinary by any means, the Macbook 2015 with Core M 5Y71 is more than enough powerful to handle pretty much any thing a typical Apple user would run on it – Safari, Facebook, Mac App store apps and so on. A tiny bit of Photoshop on this laptop would not slow it down.

RaspPi Kiiboard has Raspberry Pi 2 inside

RaspPi Kiiboard is a keyboard that can do the function of a mini PC. It packs Raspberry Pi 2 inside which is one of the smallest PCs ever built. While the Raspberry Pi 2 has remained a niche product as it requires high degree technical knowledge.

RaspPi Kiiboard review

RaspPi Kiiboard on the other hand has all required ports that one would need on a modern computer. You get a full fledge HDMI video output port and two USB ports. The user can decide whether to use the RasPi Killboard as normal keyboard or an all in one computer.

RaspPi Kiiboard reviews

To do this, the designer had to remove the doors from the original PCB of Raspberry because the motherboard does not have available ports on one side and thus he had to rewire all contacts to get them to get up to the bracket which also eliminated the Ethernet LAN because RaspPi Kiiboard only uses Wi-Fi. He was also kind enough to upload a video explaining this grueling process.

The key on the keyboard have a retro look which makes it look very unique. It clearly takes us back to the golden era of the Commodore VIC20, C64 or Amiga.

TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 review and first impressions

TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 is an 8 inch tablet that runs Windows 8.1 operating system. First hands on Trekstor SurfTab 8.0 review video is also available courtesy of tabletblog. TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 is a windows 8.1 Intel tablet that features Intel Atom Z3735G quad core processor clocked at 1.83 GHz clock speed. It is current on sale at amazon for around 120 euros. The first impression is quite good, but there are cheaper alternatives.

TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 is not particular exciting but has some good hardware inside. Specifications include 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal flash memory and a micro SD card slot. There is a camera on its back packing 2 megapixel low resolution camera but I do not think it matters on a tablet. In addition to Windows 8.1, you also get a free annual license for Microsoft Office 365 software.

TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 review

The SurfTab Wintron 8.0 comes with a plastic housing with highly glossy surface. Since the one reviewed was in white, fingerprints were not visible. On the sides, two stereo speakers are present.

While the Wintron has good price – performance ratio, we still find it difficult to recommend it. The reason is that there are better tablet competitors out there whose prices are lower too.
