Xiaomi enters the gaming laptop market with GTX 1060 Mi Gaming Laptop

-

It seems Xiaomi is keen to produce every type of hardware you can think of, now adding a gaming laptop to its roster of devices.


The Mi Gaming Laptop is a 15.6-inch device with a 7th gen Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU, a 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD and either an Nvidia GTX 1060 or an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti. The more capable i7/GTX1060 model comes with 16GB of RAM, while the i5/1050Ti units will have 8GB.



Xiaomi heaped praise on the Mi Gaming Laptop's cooling system, saying it will be coolest high performance laptop on the market. There's even a hotkey for something called "turbo cooling". That cooling comes at the expense of weight - the Xiaomi Mi Gaming Laptop weighs a pigly 2.7kg - that's quite a lot more than contemporary rivals from Asus or MSI.


Gamers will appreciate the RGB keyboard (with four customizable zones) and 5 programmable macro keys.

You'll be able to order the Mi Gaming Laptop starting on April 13 but it will be a mainland China exclusive at the start. The 16GB of RAM + GTX 1060 model will cost RMB 8,999 (€1150) while the 8GB of RAM + 1050 Ti model will be just RMB 5,999 (€770).

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

The Nokia 3310 is back, but it's not exactly a pretty sight

Just like the rumor-vine predicted, HMD didn't skip on the opportunity to ride the nostalgia wave and reincarnate the legendary Nokia 3310 for a second go on the 2017 mobile scene. We are sure opinions will be polarized on the EUR 49 feature-phone, but that definitely fits into the whole idea. Whether you find it unsightly, or enjoy its colorful and playful looks, the new 3310 will definitely get fans talking, even if not necessarily buying. Again, as far as design goes, you will just have to judge for yourself. The new 3310 measure only 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm and is plastic all around. HMD claims it did the best it can to recreate the original 3310 rounded shape and silhouette. The rounded buttons on the retro keypad definitely hit home. However, the 2.4-inch QVGA display and the curved and polarized layer on top, do look a bit off. So do the buttons on the front.
