News & Reviews:   Continuum

If you think a desktop experience is only for desktop PCs, Microsoft says nay, and have something called Continuum where users will have a desktop-like feel with when the phone is connected to a monitor. Now apparently Samsung is set to feature something similar on the Samsung Galaxy S8 when it is released later – according to leaked slides.

HP have officially announced the HP Elite x3 for MWC 2016. While packing plenty of the latest tech specs like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, its main feature appears to be full support for Microsoft Windows 10 Continuum. Featuring the Desk Dock, which when connected with a monitor (and mouse and keyboard), instantly works like a desktop and the HP Mobile Extender, which is a 12.5-inch HD laptop that connects wirelessly to the Elite x3 (can anyone say ASUS PadFone S?) the smartphone is wholly aimed at business users on the go. Coming with an iris scanner and fingerprint scanner, the only thing it seems to be missing is a projector or laser keyboard. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are now official in Malaysia and they are the first devices to run fully on Windows 10, both devices are now also available for pre-order via the Microsoft Online Store on Lazada and various authorised retail stores (see the list below) for RM2699 and RM2999 respectively. The Microsoft Display Dock, which is worth RM309 will be given away for free to the first 100 customers who purchase either one of the two Lumia 950. Not only that, Microsoft Malaysia has also teamed up with Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd to release attractive phone plans (plans below) for the two Lumia 950 devices.
