“Adding the Nautiz X9 to our family of products reflects our commitment to bringing truly rugged field devices to market,” said Johan Hed, Handheld Group director of product management. “The Nautiz X9 also extends our wide Android offerings, which have been in increasingly high demand. GMS certification is an extra feature not always included in enterprise devices, but it has proved to be invaluable for our customers, giving them access to the full suite of Google applications. The reliability and toughness of the Nautiz X9 will bring great value to field users worldwide.”

My regular computer is a mid 2014 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, with a 2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of solid state storage and an Intel Iris integrated graphics system. I bought it brand new soon after its launch, it’s served me well and I have no current plans to upgrade. For the purposes of this story, Microsoft supplied me with a 2017 Surface Book 2 with 15-inch screen, quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of solid state storage and an Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics processor. It’s safe to say the Surface Book blows my old machine out of the water on specs, but so would a new MacBook Pro, so for this article I’m going to focus on the other aspects.

More than any work device I’ve tried in years, the Surface Book induced moments of sheer delight. I’m no Picasso, but clicking the pen and squiggling on the open windows tapped into such a lovely childhood sense of wonder. Even if I don’t often need to draw on my screen as a journalist, sometimes you simply want want to, and don’t bother because it’s too difficult.

For the time being, you can still pre-order one from Indiegogo for $399. Planet Computer plans to begin shipping devices to backers of the Indiegogo campaign this month, with retail availability to follow.

The laptop also supports quick charging: Plug it in for 15 minutes and you should get a few hours of run time.

He served until his resignation on December 25, 1991. The next day the Soviet Union was formally dissolved. Boris Yeltsin, originally an ally of Gorbachev, was the first democratically elected President of the new Russian Federation. Yeltsin tried to transform Russia’s socialist economy into to a capitalist market economy at chaotic speed. This essentially turned Russia over to a small number of business oligarchs able to acquire a majority of significant national assets and properties and then command international monopolies. He served until December 31, 1999, when he resigned because of health problems.

Gunpei Yokoi’s philosophy of "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology" had a lot of merit to it. By using technology they’d already developed and understood when making the Game Boy, Nintendo was able to make it cost effective and reliable. But just because you’re working with old technology, doesn’t mean you can’t improve it. The Game Boy was built off much of the same tech as the NES, but outclassed its older console brother. The handheld was twice as fast despite both systems using 8-bit processors, and the Game Boy had four times as much memory. The lack of color helped.

The Poptel P8 is a waterproof phone that isn’t as good value as it might initially seem. While nothing about the device is terrible, far too many things are either poor or mediocre, and almost nothing is great. For a little more money, you can buy much better.

One aspect we couldn’t test in practical terms was the IP68/IP69K rating. To achieve IP68 a phone must handle being submerged in a meter of water for 30 minutes. The Armor 3 goes much further than that, handling twice that depth for up to two hours!

Android, on the other hand, works pretty much the way you’d expect it to. You can use the touchscreen to navigate, but you can also use the keyboard for quicker text input. Keyboard shortcuts also work to control the volume, screen brightness, and other setting sand you can use the Alt button to switch apps.

That said, this is a substantial device that tips the scales at nearly 365g, and you still wouldn’t want to drop this on your foot. To avoid that scenario, Ulefone has given the metal sides large bevels that make gripping it much easier – also making the phone more comfortable to hold.
