The Core i7 5650U is a very powerful ultra low voltage processor by Intel that was introduced by the chip giant in January 2015. It is slated to be used in the upcoming broadwell Macbook Air and ultrathin ultrabooks as it consumes little power; has high performance output and dissipates little heat which is critical in ultrathin laptops. Interestingly the Core i7 5650U has lower CPU base clock speed than the outgoing Core i7 5600U but faster GPU.

The Intel Core i7 5650U benchmark indicate that thanks to improved architecture, it is about 10 percent faster than the lower clocked Core i7 4650U which. This means it is powerful enough for working on CPU-hungry applications.

Core i7 4650U benchmark results:
Cinebench R15 (CPU Single 64 bit): 124
Geekbench 3 (32 bit multi core): 5875
3DMark 2013 (fire strike standard physics full HD): 3864
Passmark: 4176

Core i7 5650U also brings improved HD graphics 6000 that offer 48 EUs at 300 MHz – 1000 MHz. It has faster memory speeds up to 1866 LPDDR3, so this makes it more powerful than the Intel HD Graphics 5000 that has 40 EUs. Demanding games should run just fine at medium detail settings.

While most of the laptop manufacture are busily engrossed making ultrathin ultrabooks, Medion, a popular tablet manufacture has released a 6 cm thick Erazer X7833 laptop that weighs under kilograms. The Medion Erazer X7833 is all about strong CPU and GPU performance.

HTC ChaCha is one of the few android phones with built in hardware keyboard but its battery life is not its strongest point. It is also not a very fast phone. Fortunately there are ways to improve HTC ChaCha battery life and make it run faster. These tweaks are meant for people on stock firmware or Cyanogen Mod.

If you are stock ROM, we suggest you to totally dump it and instlal the Hexgore’s stock ROM. It is built on stock firmware but will all HTC’s bloatware removed. So it runs much faster and yields better battery life since less HTC crap is running in background. Here are the features of this custom HTC ChaCha ROM:

* It’s been rooted, of course (ChainsDD’s version of Superuser)
* I’ve added Busybox and Bash
* Removed: Peep, Flash Lite, Flickr, FriendStream, Facebook, Facebook Chat, HTC Feedback, HTC Recommends, HTC Hub and all associated widgets
* Tinfoil for Facebook replaces the official and HTC Facebook apps, this is a more lightweight and privacy aware version of Facebook which doesn’t run in the background all the time or download all your contacts
* ASTRO file browser is now also included
* Ad blocking host files are built right in, no need for AdFree or AdAway
* Zipaligning for optimisation, this means apps should use less RAM
* Beats Audio has been added for heavy bass awesomeness
* Sense 4 wallpaper
* ICS font
* ICS clock widget
* Play Store has replaced the outdated Market apk
* Disabled boot sounds

To install it, boot into recovery, wipe your data, cache, and Dalvik cache, then flash the ROM (download link) and reboot the phone.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha S View flip case is an expensive case that brings front screen protection to the tablet. It also promises to add a lot of classiness to the already classy design of Galaxy Alpha. The Galaxy Alpha S view flip case is ideal for checking the time or answering or rejecting phone calls without opening the case. We have reviewed the black Galaxy Alpha S view flip case that goes well with our black Galaxy Alpha.

The Galaxy Alpha S view flip case fits the phone so well and it becomes a part of the phone by replacing the back cover. This keeps the overall profile of Galaxy Alpha super thin and the window indeed gives a whole new aspect.

You can change the background color of your S-View screen too. For doing that, open the flip cover and go to Settings > Lock screen and change the color of S-View window.

Another benefit is that you will be able to take pictures without opening the flip. You will also be able to change music tracks as well. You can find both of these options by swiping to the right.

The only thing that we did not like about S View flip case is wireless charging. For that you must use the Samsung Galaxy Alpha wireless charging back cover. If wireless charging does not matter to you, simply stop dithering and just get it. It is indeed worth every penny.

Broadwell is here finally as Intel has started shipping its vPro enabled processors to the laptop companies. Some of the first devices are already on sale wiht the new processors and this includes Fujitsu Lifebook T935 that is now available to the corporate customers. Fujitsu Lifebook T935 is the successor to the Liefbook T904 which offered rotating display as well.

Fujitsu Lifebook T935 specifications include 13.3 inch IGZO display packing WQXGA resolution which is 2560 x 1440 pixels. The T935 is not the first company’s laptop to offer IGZO display. Fujitsu Lifebook TH90 was also offered with one. The one that we tested had ‘mere’ 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. One of the key features of Fujitsu Lifebook T935 is its digitizer support allowing you to do inputs via stylus.

It is powered by Intel Core i7 5600U vPro enabled processor, up to 8 gigabytes of memory, hybrid hard disk drive up to 500GB (optional SSD), 2x USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port. You will also find an SD card reader, RJ 45 Ethernet port and a SIM card slot for proving 3G or 4G connectivity on the go.

Battery life of Fujitsu Lifebook T935 is said to be around 9.5 hours which is more than enough for a whole day of use.
