Inctel has launched its first mini PC that features broadwell fanless processors. Specifications include Intel Core i7 5500U dual core 14nm processor that can run at 2.4 GHz clock speed and supports turbo boost speed of 3GHz. The CPU is accompanied by Intel HD 5500 graphics that run at 950 MHz under turbo boost mode.

The entire chip consumes very little power – spec sheet says it eats mere 15 watts when in use. On the front, the Inctel has power button, LED status, four USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, SD card reader, headphone jack and microphone.

On the rear, you will find two wireless LAN antennas, two COM ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two HDMI 1.4 outputs video and power connector. It can be purchased for $ 495 from the official Inctel online store. The price includes shipping via DHL.

Dell Venue Pro 11 is going to be first laptop to be equipped with USB Type-C port which is the same one that was made its debut in the Macbook 12 inch 2015 model and Chromebook Pixel. The new USB replaces a wide range of interfaces acting as power connector, HDMI and Display Port. However you must buy a adapter for each if your current peripheral does not uses USB-C port. Using this new USB port, you will be able to charge your device, connect it to a monitor, storage or other external devices.

The new model will be released in September and will come pre loaded with windows 10 operating system, Intel Atom X5 / Atom X7 processor, 3D real sense room and reversible USB-C port.  

The current gen Dell Venue Pro 11 features Atom Bay trail processor and windows 8.1 pro and we feel the upcoming model will pack a lot more than just being a minor update with processor update.

This is a case review of Scout case for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it for the Urban Armor Gear. I picked this up few days ago and have been using it since then. UAG cases normally has good reviews and this one is no exception. I bought the Urban Armor Scout Note 3 case from Urban Armor’s website. The case retails for $ 34.95 and that includes free shipping via USPS.

The packaging is really good. UAG makes a lot of cases for lot of different phones so they have same packaging for iPhones, HTC phones and Samsung phones. The packaging includes a screen protector, cleaning cloth and the case.

Made of high quality TPU

The UAG Scout is made from TPU on the inside. For those who do not know about TPU – it is not cheap silicon that you find in most cheap cases. Such cases pick up dirt easily and look really bad after few days of use.

On the outside, there is hard plastic with a big UAG logo which looks pretty cool. The detail on this case is really remarkable. The fake rivets gives it a rugged look.

On the sides, there are honeycomb cutouts and it will give you just enough grip to hold on to the phone. The cutouts are really nice. Sleep / power and volume buttons are covered. Buttons are not stiff and make clicky sound which is nice.

A lot of people think that is a UAG Scout is a two piece case but it is not. It is all fused together into one solid piece. All you have to do is take your phone and guide it into the case.

Rugged protection

It adds extra protection on the sides. So if you drop from, say like 6 or 7 feet, it will protect the display from getting scratched or messed up. There is a little lip on the corners of back side that protects the camera, back of the case from getting scratched.

Verdict

The UAG Scout for Galaxy Note 3 does not add a lot of bulk. I have medium hands and I have no problem in gripping this case. It is a great case and does not cost a lot of money. Feel free to check out UAG case collection at urbanarmorgear.com
