Best of MWC 2016: HP Elite x3 with Windows 10 Continuum on Qualcomm Snapdragon 820

Posted by Charbax – February 27, 2016
Category: Laptops, Smartphones, Exclusive videos, Qualcomm, MWC, Windows

HP shows the future of computing! HP’s vision for the future of consumer and enterprise pocketable electronics, the Windows 10 Continuum enabled HP Elite x3 running on the super fast 14nm (Samsung Fab) Snapdragon 820. HP offers DeskDock with USB Type-C, Gigabit Ethernet, 2x USB2, DisplayPort, USB Type-C. It outputs to a large display, with an RF or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. HP Elite X3 has a 5.96″ 2K 2560×1440 Super AMOLED with 550nits brightness “best in class”.4GB LPDDR4 RAM. 64GB internal with Dual Nano SIM that can also be One Nano SIM and one MicroSD card slot. “Best in class” single touch fingerprint scanner. A second biometric authentication is the iris scanner. IP67 waterproof 1.5m for 30 minutes “all sealed”. Shock-proof with Gorilla Glass. 4150mAh battery. HP even shows their “empty” 12.8″ thin bezel Laptop Dock “mobile extender” under 1kg to be powered by this amazing phone! The Laptop dock also miracast wirelessly. Bang and olufsen sound. Pogopins on the back of the phone allows it to extend with Smart back-cases, a POS (point of sale) solution and I also suggest them in the video to do an E Ink back-case for long battery life sunlight readable e-reading. Everybody at Microsoft, Qualcomm, HP and even Marc Benioff CEO of Salesforce is excited about this product. HP talks about running their virtualization engine to run any x86 app through the cloud. This looks like they are all going to make sure this product gets successfully deployed on the market by Summer this year.

I think that HP should try to price the full bundle at below the current price of a high-end iPhone/Samsung, thus below $700 including the Desktop, keyboard/mouse and also including the “empty” 12.8″ Laptop Dock. The Desktop Dock needs a HDMI output. Of course I’d like to finally see Google supply an Android Continuum UI alternative solution at Google I/O. I also perhaps think that Microsoft’s Continuum dock is better with a cable and the phone on the table than having it docked upright.

USB Type-C, 2 Billion per year to be shipped by 2019

Posted by Charbax – February 26, 2016
Category: Exclusive videos, MWC, Android, Windows

The USB Implementers Forum comprises companies like Google, Samsung, HP, Intel and many others work together on specifying the spec of USB Type-C. It’s easier to use (it can be flipped on both sides), it goes faster (up to above 40Gbit/s). Alternate modes can be supported such as Thunderbolt, DisplayPort and the proprietary mode Slimport, the standard mode MHL by the MHL Consortium. Devices shipping without display, with the 3 different ways to do display, with some shipping USB2 speed and others USB3 speed, it just seems to be a bit of a fragmentation in the implementation of USB Type-C here in the beginning. Basically consumers must make sure to understand what each device supports “behind” the USB Type-C connector.

Category: Smartphones, Exclusive videos, Qualcomm, MWC, Windows

Acer is about to sell an awesome Windows 10 Continuum package that includes a nice 22″ LCD display monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, a docking station to use with the included Acer Liquid Jade running Windows 10 Mobile with Windows Continuum, designed to support all professional users full desktop usage requirements, with many more apps being added to Microsoft’s Windows 10 platform. For example Facebook just added their app. The Acer Liquid Jade Primo has a nice 5.5″ super AMOLED display, 3GB RAM, 32GB Flash. The idea for the pricing is that this Acer might cost about the same as a high-end iPhone or Samsung but it is to include the whole bundle of external 22″ display, the keyboard/mouse and Continuum dock. Acer is trying to launch this premium package worldwide. The target market is small to medium to large size companies who can give one of these to each of their employees, and thus get all their employees to switch to ARM Powered productivity!
