There's a catch though - if you choose not to use the DeX dock, you will be allowed to open only 5 windows instead of 20 and you will lose all the additional connectivity options the dock provides.

Apple's best selling laptop (and cheapest one, incidentally) has been in need of a refresh for years, and today we finally got it. The new MacBook Air has a 13.3" 2560x1600 Retina Display with 50% narrower bezels than its predecessor, and a modern-looking design that has glass coverage up to the edges. The screen can show 48% more color, and the FaceTime camera is still at the top. The laptop has Touch ID, which is enabled by the T2 chip that's inside the MacBook Air (and made its...

Samsung announces two new ISOCELL sensors
Today Samsung announced two high resolution ISOCELL Plus sensors with 0.8μm pixels for smartphones. The two sensors are named Bright GM1 and Bright GD1 - the first one boasts 48MP while the second one has 32MP resolution.

Microsoft experiments with modular controllers for mobile devices
While some of the new gaming phones have hardware controls - either on board or as accessories - most handsets out there rely on touch and motion. Those are fine for casual games, but Microsoft believes it can interest serious players with Xbox-like controllers. This is just a research project for now, but the vision of the team is for Switch-like flexibility. They controllers themselves - analog sticks plus a D-pad or a handful of buttons on each side - are relatively small and they attach to the side of the device (be it phone or tablet). Additional slide-in grips can be used for...
