First screenshot and video for Windows 8 1 with Bing

We took a few weeks in which weve talked a few times ofWindows 8.1 with Bing, a version that is designed for economical equipment and has no cost to manufacturers ofhardware.The ideal operating system for tablets because it can work with only1 GB of RAM and an internal storage is enough for 16 GB.

The only difference at first compared to the current version that is paid is that thisleads Bing as default search engine.Although they say that it can be changed without any problem.Currently manufacturers like Dell or HP changed the search engine they installed Windows on their computers instead of Google or get the other partner to have some agreement.

This will make if a manufacturer wants tosave paying the license to install Windows 8.1 Proopt for use with Windows 8.1 on their computers Bing.What is not so clear is that this savings for the manufacturer also see reflected in store for the consumer.

From June 3 held in Taiwan Computex 2014,expect to see low-cost devices from various manufacturersthat use this version of Windows.This can increase the market share of Windows 8.1 that it is not all good.

Currentlybetween Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 add up to a12.64% market share, percentage that Windows 8.1 is 6.35%.Windows 7 is best used with a 50.06% share and seems to continue to rise.The Modern UI interface not really like users who do not have computers with touch screen and they missed the classic menu.

Microsoft has already said that the classic menuback soonwith an update that will release and expected for the month of August.Meanwhile rumors suggest thatthePreview of Windows 9will be available in February or March next year.

Gainwards GeForce GTX 970 SLI Graphic Cards with 4k Gaming

Last month Nvidia launched GeForce GTX 970 that got positioned as the ideal candidate for "multi GPU" 4K games rigs, offers 16% more performance than the Radeon R9 290 on high resolutions although costing 20% much less than AMD.

After this kind of strong launch, AMD got forced to lower prices on the GPUs. The Radeon R9 290 dropped from 399 bucks to 299 bucks "10% cheaper than the GTX 970", the R9 290X dropped from $549 to $399 and also the R9 285 is around for as cheap as $229.

People looking for the game at 4K now take over some pretty capable multi-GPU options for as low as $600. Considering not even the GTX 980 can easily handle 4K gaming now, in the most demanding designation, obviously that is a great news.

For a minor premium more than the GTX 980, the GTX 970 or R9 290 might be doubled up around $600 or $660, Or it should outperform the lone GTX 980, however we bet the GTX 970 will probably outdo the R9 290 throughout 4K gaming as well as in power consumption.

Test System Specifications

So basically, we tested ever single card with Fraps to be able to record its average frame rate in seconds over the set amount of time. We typically tests for 1 minute. Reporting the average fps is how things are actually doing properly, forever. Its a fantastic metric sense that its not hard to record and simple to implement but it does not expose the main story.

To obtain a fuller picture youll have to factor in the cards frame latency, which looks at how quickly just about every frame is delivering the performance. Regardless of the amount of frames to design card produces usually in 60 seconds, if it can not deliver them at roughly exactly the same speed, you will observe more short points with just one GPU over another, something we have now witnessed but didnt understand completely.

Samsung updates the Gear Fit with Portrait View Mode – Details

The Samsung Gear Fit is the first fitness band from the company that was unveiled at the MWC 2014 that was held in Barcelona, Spain earlier this year. The device was promising with its large Lcd but it had the drawback of lacking the vertical display that made it harder to use. Now the company has updated the device and the portrait mode UI is given to the device so that it user can use it in the vertical angle also, making easier to use.

Earlier we have seen the Gear Fit in our hands-on-video, photos as you can clearly observe before the update we can only view the options on the Gear Fit in the landscape mode which made it difficult to use, since the user needs to turn the entire wrist so operate the device, getting in awkward position, this update made it easier for the users since the device can be used in portrait mode. It is good to know that the South Korean giant Samsung has solved the issue even before releasing it.

Let me remind you that the Samsung Gear Fit has a rectangular curved AMOLED touch Lcd display that sits on your wrist perfectly and it has a 1.84 inch display with 432 x 128 resolutions and is also IP67 certified making it Water and Dust resistant. The device does not feature a camera or microphone since it is targeted only for fitness. All the data from the Gear Fit can be synched with Samsung’s S health app.

This Gear Fit from Samsung will also come with swappable bands in Orange, Mocha Grey and Black colors and the company also claims that the device can deliver 3-4 days of battery live with typical usage. Like the latest flagship from the company, Galaxy S5 and few other Gear smartwatches, even the Fit is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance.

The device will be coming in to the market on April 11^th along with the company’s flagship Samsung Galaxy S5 and is also compatible with 17 other Galaxy devices. Stay tuned for more information and updates.

LG Intros World’s Slimmest Full HD Screen with 5 2″ Display 2 2mm Thickness

 While Samsung is still trying hard to commercialize the flexible Lcd displays, it now seems that LG will soon be coming up with the World’s Thinnest 1080p LCD Screen which comes at just 2.2mm thickness and has 5.2 inches of Screen Size. This thinnest Lcd from LG has been officially showcased and comes with the 2.3mm of Bezel which is a truly commendable job. Though the bezel on the device will be much greater than the 2.3mm, we can say that it will have one of the thinnest bezel ever. While the phones are getting thinner and thinner, it’s difficult to accommodate the larger battery in these devices.

LG Electronics calls this tech being used behind the Lcd as the Advanced One Glass Solution (OGS) which will be realized commercially very soon in its next generation of devices which will be available as soon this December 2013. The technology behind this involves the insertion of Dual flexible printed circuits between the LCD Panel and the touch film which results in 30% fewer lines on the Panel. Every pixel is RGB, and the Lcd can output 535 nits of brightness which is surprisingly higher than any 1080p Screen in the market which can currently produce.

We are also hearing the rumours that soon this display will be realized in the Optimus G2 smartphone which will be releasing very soon. By utilizing 1,080X1,920 pixels consisting of Red, Green, Blue (RGB) sub-pixels, the panel is a true Full HD display. Finally, measuring contrast in real-life surroundings with Ambient Contrast Ratio results in a reading of 3.74:1 based on 10,000 lux, which confirms the perfect performance even in Bright sunlight conditions.

Do let us know in the comments section about your thoughts on this World’s thinnest Display by LG Electronics.
