MWC 2016. First look at Huawei MateBook: iPad and Surface
Huawei MateBook
Rumors that Chinese smartphone makers rush to release laptops, spread throughout the network since October of last year. “Pioneria” claimed that Huawei and Xiaomi’s roll out metal thin ultrabooks, and will make heat available to the producers of “laptop” a combination of price and quality.
The reality was more prosaic: the exhibition in Barcelona, Huawei has brought a hybrid tablet running desktop Windows 10. Despite the fact that tablets are becoming less popular devices, specifically the “mentoplasty with keyboard” are gaining popularity all producers — a month ago in this class of devices has squeezed Samsung, for example. Know the popular iPad Pro to live in peace.

The predskazamusov who was waiting for Huawei dumping model, of course, from indignation — the Chinese have released expensive and pretentious mobile computer, another work machine for bloggers, artists, or whoever now goes crazy with a low-power computer with a stylus?
But even with that background MateBook will be a more popular device than if the Chinese introduced plastic 15.6-inch “bucket” even with a very powerful processor on Board. Because buying a laptop is a deliberate decision of people who really need a portable PC, and a thin and light tablet with a keyboard is perceived a good addition to a smartphone and no “cargo practicality” for a not attracted to. Yes, Huawei debut creation costs a lot of money (but you forgot, how much is an iPad Pro and Surface Pro 4), but the “swamp” Windows ecosystem is finally starting to reform itself in a fashionable way. You see, at this rate we’ll live and to budget mobile computers of new generation.

MWC 2016: quick review smartphone Alcatel Idol Idol 4 and 4S and tablet Plus 10
Alcatel Plus 10
And here’s the European approach to the issue of hybrid devices: the French brand Alcatel has rolled out a much more modest tablet laptop, without the claim for luxury, but with all needed in the home “chips”. Typical “Intel-atom” iron added of useful connectors and its own taught findplanet get high-speed 4G Internet and not be satisfied with poor 3G or access point from your smartphone.
Alcatel Plus 10
Good and practical gadget, the fate of which in Russia depends on pricing and how the French like to play it safe. Like Lenovo and HTC often converted European price tags for Russia for reasons of “soon the dollar will be 80-90 rubles”, Alcatel also may not have enough nerve to cut the price at least to 25 thousand, not to be “eaten” many ASUS transformers or, God forbid, any Digma, Prestigio DEXP and other.

MWC 2016: Lenovo introduced laptops-shifters Yoga and Yoga 510 710
At the MWC 2016 Lenovo has brought a huge army of old, and some new models. The laptops are really “fresh” can be called to the Yoga model with a diagonal of 11, 14 and 15 inches. First impression is good, although not always possible universal computers. For example, the 15.6-inch model is in reality too big to even think to use it as a tablet — to turn a hefty laptop running Core i7 and AMDшной “discrete” possible, but not desirable. Here with 14 inches diagonal such tricks, they are more or less appropriate.
A really attractive and useful look 11-inch modification of the 710-th Yoga: light, thin, “chiseled” faces of the housing, it is fully suited to the role of “workhorse” and tablet in one. It is a pity that with such dimensions Lenovo installs laptops only skimmed fanless Intel Core M is more powerful “discovolante”.

Since then, like Lenovo did your Yoga “people”, to buy a laptop-the shifter has become possible with almost any screen size or hardware configuration. Competitors in the Chinese transformers not so much — except for the ubiquitous ASUS transformable modern “laptop” with a diagonal of 14 inches and above remain rare. If Lenovo makes some move regarding the promotion of their mobile computers — get some flexible models on review and tell you more about them.
TAB 3 7, TAB 3 8, TAB 2 A10-30
While Huawei is focusing on the “glamorous” technique for the Nouveau riche, Lenovo manages to pay attention and budgetary models — the Chinese have introduced three low-cost tablet with different screen size. Frankly, experienced users of the gadgets they are unlikely to offend, but as an option “for as cheaply as possible and worked fine” is a new series good.

I will not here Express my feigned “enthusiasm” because the tablets well so give retro technology: the frame around the display is big, corps — “wooden”, and the processor in compact models, apparently, a dead MediaTek MT6735P. But by first impressions 7-inch model made more efficiently (and faster) than, say, ASUS ZenPad C 7.0, and Tab 2 A10-30 everything else and gives great sound from the stereo speakers. And don’t forget that cheaper than 10 thousand rubles you can buy only tablets nightmarish quality with Supra logo, Alcatel or Oysters, so overrated the new Lenovo certainly not look.

Go to the mobile show in 2016 on a stand with the tablet and feel takim starym… Almost like defrosted from the cryogenic prison hero Sylvester Stallone.
Because contemporary people today offers one hell of a expensive tablet with extremely high resolution display, keyboard binding, no one knows what holding an electronic pen, and other elitist nonsense. “Just a tablet” quality with Full HD display and a modern eight-core processor at a reasonable price and has remained an unattainable dream — last year this gadget was too lazy to make ASUS, and in 2016 be limited to budgetary characteristics decided and Acer. In General, all flare lovers of classic tablets manufacturers say “do you know anyone these your tablets are no longer needed. But especially for the guests from the past we recreated the tablet computers as they were in 2011”.

Strictly speaking, the model is not new with the “needles” and have already managed to show up at CES January 2016. New year exhibition but we haven’t really probed, so we report on the following gadgets Acer: tablets budget, but done well. Ten inch tablet and does pleases luxurious sound stereo speakers, although the quality of the display in both models is trivial, and the operating system does not attract any “chips”. Old-fashioned low-end models, but if in Russia they will not come with a prohibitive price tag, I see no reason not to take them for reasons of “but cheap” buyers who are looking for affordable tablet.

Canonical has announced Ubuntu tablet with the capabilities of desktop
BQ Aquarius M10 Ubuntu Edition
But the real geek gadget, which has the “brains” work not based on Android or iOS — a modern 10-inch tablet with mobile Ubuntu on Board! And with a “finished” hybrid Ubuntu Touch and Convergence support mode — the system runs in desktop and mobile mode, depending on the connected peripherals.
If you want to experience Ubuntu tablet in comparison with similar products on Windows 10, they are: the system is much less demanding on hardware, and moving to Quad-core ARM processor is quite fast. The controls closer to Windows 8.1 (in the “top ten” many gestures abolished, because still no one went to learn), but tweaking already looks like Android — you “out of the box” available as root, the console and other pleasures of fans to optimize the software. You can use right now, although the abundance of applications I wouldn’t count.
