New HP Chromebook 14

05.11.2015

US computer maker HP, which split into two companies on Monday, unveiled a new slimline Chromebook with long battery life. An updated HP Chromebook 14 model has appeared in the vendor's assortment.

It is equipped with a dual-core Intel Celeron N2840 processor with a clock speed of 2,16 GHz, integrated graphics accelerator Intel HD Graphics and passive cooling. The amount of RAM DDR3L SDRAM is 2 GB (two modules of 1 GB each), the capacity of the built-in eMMC flash drive is 32 GB.

Also, digital content can be stored on removable microSD memory cards and in Google Drive cloud storage, in which each purchaser of this mobile PC is entitled to 100 GB of free disk space.

The novelty comes with a 14-inch BrightView LED-backlit screen and a resolution of 1366? 768 pixels (HD). A version with a Full HD IPS display will also be available.

The manufacturer draws attention to the fact that a Chromebook with an HD screen is able to work without recharging for 9 hours and 15 minutes. For this, a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 37 Wh is used.

There are HDMI, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors. The latter allows you to charge mobile devices even in the "sleep" mode of the laptop. The thickness of the computer case - 17,8 mm, weight - 1,79 kg.

The new HP Chromebook will cost $250 and $280 for HD and Full HD versions, respectively. Users will be able to purchase the new Chromebook in silver and blue colors.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Supercar Draco GTE 21.08.2019

The new Tesla Roadster will not be the only electric supercar in the near future, it will be accompanied by the Drako GTE, created by Drako Motors. This is an electric sedan with four engines with a total power of 1200 hp. and peak torque of 8800 Nm. The manufacturer has not yet advertised the dynamic characteristics of the car, only the maximum speed is known, which is 332 km / h.

The Drako GTE is built on a Fisker Karma chassis, equipped with Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension and a choice of wheels (20-inch with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires or 21-inch with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s racing tires). The electric car can accommodate up to four people, while there is still room for luggage.

The battery capacity of the Drako GTE is 90 kWh, and this is perhaps the only weak point of the electric car. A set of four motors with this power will put serious strain on the battery, so long distances are not to be expected. At least fast charging from a 150 kW station is provided.

Production of the Drako GTE will start soon, with first deliveries expected in 2020. The company plans to release only 25 copies, each of which will cost $1,25 million.
