Gambar
Lenovo has announced a partnership with FedoraProject to offer developer-friendly ThinkPad series laptops that will run on the newly released Fedora 32 Workstation Linux out of the box. The Linux Community Series program will kick off with devices including ThinkPad P1 Gen2, ThinkPad X1 Gen8, and the ThinkPad P53 laptops. The company aims to expand the selection of devices to other models soon based on demand. Currently, very few PC manufacturers Dell offer laptops pre-installed with Linux, although Dell has several products available to buy. The project hopes to appeal to developers, IT professionals and the open-source community, but also people who prefer having a laptop running on Linux but do not want to get involved in replacing the operating systems manually. Mark Pearson, a senior Linux developer at Lenovo, confirmed that the company plans to launch these laptops globally, stating, "Lenovo is excited to become a part of the Fedora community. We want to ensure an optimal

PC makers expect surge in demand for laptops post lockdown

Gambar
PC makers expect demand for laptops to rise even after the covid-19 lockdowns are lifted as they anticipate the work-from-home culture to last for at least a short-term. Besides, the companies will now focus more on the online channels, since offline retail will take time to return to normalcy. Arnold Su, Business Head, Consumer and Gaming PC, System Business Group, Asus India, said that while demand from enterprises will rise due to work from home needs, consumer demand could also increase for "study from home" needs. The lockdowns have also forced colleges and schools to adopt e-learning practices, which can only happen if students are equipped with laptops and PCs. "On the commercial side of the business, it is a bit of a dichotomy as there's fresh demand for laptops to make people work from home from large export-oriented software companies, consulting companies who have got huge manpower back offices etc. But a whole lot of mid-siz

$23M to provide laptops for Detroit students amid pandemic

Gambar
WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) — About 51,000 K-12 public school students in Detroit will receive computer tablets and high-speed internet to help transition from classroom to virtual learning during the coronavirus pandemic in one of the nation's poorest big cities. Schools across Michigan closed in March as part of the state's stay home order to slow the spread of the virus. And while many suburban districts quickly moved teaching online, Detroit lagged because nine out of 10 students don't have access to tablets, computers or the internet. "When our executive team began prioritizing COVID-19 relief efforts, the issue of digital inequity for Detroit students rose to the top," said Jerry Norcia, president and chief executive of DTE Energy. The Detroit-based utility's foundation is one of the groups contributing a total of $23 million to the initiative. Each student in the Detroit Public Schools Community District is expected to receive a la

Monroe Street is now open.  (Photo: Tori Schneider/Tallahassee Democrat) Envision Credit Union on North Monroe Street has donated $15,000 to the Foundation for Leon County Schools for laptops for public school students during the coronavirus pandemic.  As schools are shuttered, Leon County's school district has transitioned to a blended model, which includes various online learning platforms.  The Florida Department of Education has notified school districts that superintendents may reallocate money to purchase laptops for families who need additional resources. Leon Schools Superintendent Rocky Hanna has previously said schools will "firefight" the requests for assistance: "We'll worry about how to pay for it later."

Disadvantaged pupils are given laptops to study online while schools are closed

Disadvantaged children across England will be given free laptops and tablets to enable them to study online while schools are closed. Care leavers, children with social worker support and year 10 pupils, who sit GCSEs next year, will receive devices if they do not already have them, the government announced today. 4G routers will be supplied to families who do not have mobile or broadband internet to ensure children can access online resources. Data charges will be temporarily waived on certain sites providing educational resources. Tomorrow will see the launch of Oak National Academy, an online enterprise set up by teachers and funded by the Department for Education. It will provide 180 video lessons each week, from reception to GCSE level, in a range of subjects. Dr Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union, welcomed the move but called for "definitive clarity" from ministers that schools are not expected to deliver the normal curriculum at a tim

Hands-on: Logitech’s iPad trackpad keyboards create $500 Apple laptops

Ever since last December's Snapdragon Tech Summit — an event focused on breakthrough mobile chipsets — I've been thinking about how critical "old" input peripherals remain in modern devices. Qualcomm's latest Snapdragons are powerful enough to let tiny smartphones play Xbox One-class games, or enable tablets to run Windows PC apps, but without traditional controllers such as gamepads, mice, or trackpads, convincing people to fully replace their consoles or laptops with mobile devices is an uphill battle. Consider Apple's iPads, which spent the last decade as midway points between phones and laptops, seemingly because Apple didn't want to kill either of its cash cows. Everyone agrees that iPads redefined tablets, but they haven't supplanted business computers. I'd argue that input peripherals were the key bottleneck: Apple has continually evolved iPad devices and pushed hard to position them as post-PC computers, but millions of bus
