In case the steady stream of news didn’t tip you off, Samsung’s releasing tons of new devices today. One of the most interesting is the Samsung ATIV Tab 3, which the company claims is the world’s thinnest tablet at just 0.32 inches thick. This 10-inch tablet weighs a mere 1.21 pounds, and runs the full version of Windows 8.

This ultra portable tablet features a 10.1-inch 1366 x 768 resolution display, which isn’t as high resolution as the also just-released ATIV Q, but it’s enough for everyday applications. Powering the ATIV Tab 3 is an Intel Atom Z2760 processor partnered with 2GB of RAM and a 64GB flash memory hard drive. It’s rated for up to 10 hours of battery life, so it’ll keep going all day. There’s also a 720p HD camera onboard and ports for micro USB, micro HDMI, and a micro SD card.

Along with the full version of Windows 8, ATIV Tab 3 comes with Office Home & Student 2013 preinstalled. It also includes Samsung’s SideSync technology which allows users with a Samsung smartphone to respond to texts right from their computer, and easily edit photos and back up files right from their computer.

Lastly, the AVTI Tab 3 is compatible with Samsung’s improved S Pen that even works with Microsoft Office.

Pricing and availability hasn’t been announced yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we know.

Hurry! The M4 MacBook Pro just got an unheard of discount

Someone using a MacBook Pro at a desk.

The 2024 MacBook Pro with M4 chip hasn't even been out for a month, but it already has its first major discount. Amazon just knocked $200 off the 14-inch configuration, dropping the price to $1,399 from $1,599. While a $200 discount on a MacBook isn't world-shattering, the fact that this laptop is so new makes this an unheard of deal. Let's dive into some other noteworthy aspects of this sale.

Why you should buy the MacBook Pro M4
This specific configuration of the M4 Pro has a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. The 16GB of RAM is particularly noteworthy, as it's the new standard for Apple. That makes this a better deal than some of the M3 models with 8GB of RAM. This model of course comes with Apple's signature Liquid Retina XDR display on its 14.2-inch screen, and it's ready for Apple Intelligence.

One of Google’s upcoming big projects could be a high-end laptop slated to be the next rival of the MacBook Pro.

An internal email obtained by Android Headlines detailed that Google has greenlit a project for a device codenamed “Snowy.” The email suggests the device is a laptop with premium specifications similar to the Dell XPS, Microsoft Surface Laptop, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, and the brand’s largest competitor, Apple’s MacBook Pro. With the project past the concept phase, it would likely be quickly expanded into a viable product under the Pixel line.
