Gaming on the iPad Pro has been ... well, a mixed bag. Sure, Apple's high-end tablet has a big, bright screen and a super-fast A12Z processor, but input methods have still mostly focused on touch, so it's not exactly replaced anybody's laptop. However, new features coming in iPadOS 14 look to make the iPad more of a gamer-friendly device. One of iPadOS 14's hidden features that Apple didn't brag about on stage at WWDC 2020 is that mouse and keyboard support are finally coming to the iPad. It's both an overdue addition that could make Apple Arcade games a bit more capable and help Apple's overall renewed push for more gaming on its devices. Apple revealed the keyboard and mouse support in a video made for developers, showing how to add those new features to their apps. At WWDC, Apple also revealed that it's adding support for the Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 controller and the Xbox Adaptive Controller.  As The Verge notes, current keyboard and mouse sup

Spokane Public Schools is making a case for a comprehensive plan that would give every child in the district an equitable chance at distance learning. At Wednesday night's board meeting, directors gave informal approval to a proposal that would allocate $3.8 million toward the purchase of hardware and software. If adopted, the initiative would allow each student to have a district-issued laptop at home. The investment would "give the district the opportunity to be ready for COVID and 21st century learning," associate superintendent Adam Swinyard told the board. Most of the funding will come from federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES, Act dollars, with some future outlays paid for by district levies. When COVID-19 struck three months ago, Spokane was better prepared than most districts, thanks to earlier investments in laptops. Those laptops were checked out – one per family, which wasn't e

SAN ANTONIO – Fewer high school graduates will receive scholarships or laptops from the Cesar E. Chavez Legacy and Educational Foundation due to the COVID-19 pandemic hampering fundraising efforts, according to Ernest Martinez, organization chairman. Ernest Martinez is the son of the late Jaime Martinez, who created the foundation to honor Chavez, the labor organizer who was his mentor. Until the pandemic hit, the foundation was on track to see a record turnout for the annual Cesar Chavez March for Justice through San Antonio's West Side. Ernest Martinez said the organization was on pace to raise $35,000 to reward deserving high school graduates. "I believe 30 applications came in, but we were able to honor 10," Martinez said. He said only $17,000 was raised thanks to private and corporate donors such as HEB, CPS Energy, and NRP, a housing development firm. Martinez said because of the COVID-19 pandemic, both the parade and its biggest fundraiser, the Grand Marshal Breakf

Last week, Intel's chief performance strategist posted a clip of a laptop with Intel's new integrated XE graphics running Battlefield 5 surprisingly smoothly, and today, Acer followed that up by announcing one of the first laptops to feature Intel's new integrated graphics in an actual device. At just 0.59-inches thick and weighing just 2.2 pounds, Acer's 14-inch Swift 5 looks to be quite portable for a system that offers a choice between Intel's integrated XE graphics or Nvidia's Mx350 discrete graphics. And with a starting price of just $1,000, the Swift 5 shouldn't present a huge strain on your wallet either. But the big deal is that if Intel's integrated XE graphics can deliver on the teases that Intel has been pushing out, that could mean something as thin and light as the Swift 5 could let you play older AAA games reasonably well without the need for a more expensive and power-hungry discrete GPU. In some ways, that's kind of one of the holy gr

Electronic Recycling Association introduced a new program called "Lending a Lifeline by Lending a Laptop" and has received many donation requests from charities and individuals, and needs your help to fill them all TORONTO, June 22, 2020 /CNW/ - The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) announced a new program that will help equip families and organizations with the gift of technology throughout COVID-19. It has received 100's of requests from charities, non profits, and 1000's from individuals. ERA is unable to fill all the incoming donation requests and needs help of corporations and individuals which had at least 1 laptop, computer or mobile devices to donate. The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is seeking the help of the public. Due to the economic downturn, they are finding it extremely difficult to obtain enough donations from individuals to fulfill every charitable organizations wish. Currently, the ERA has a growing list of over 200 pending organi

Go ahead and mark your calendars, just be sure to use a pencil or an erasable pen (and not permanent market), because it looks as though Intel's upcoming Tiger Lake processors will be arriving on July 27. That is the date a pair of Acer Swift 5 laptops with Tiger Lake hardware are slated to launch, according to a couple of product listings at a Dutch retailer. We have been hearing about Tiger Lake for a long time now, and even Intel has talked about its successor to Ice Lake. However, as of this writing, Intel has not formally launched its 11th generation Core processors or announced exactly when they will arrive. We are definitely getting close, though, as earlier this week Intel's Ryan Shrout posted a video of a Tiger Lake laptop running Battlefield V on the chip's Xe graphics. And Intel recently offered up a hint, saying Tiger Lake will arrive "in the middle of this year." "Perks of the job! Took a prototype Tiger Lake system for a spin on Battle

In a bid to help close the digital divide, Qualcomm donated 900 custom-built, cellular-connected laptops to the San Diego Unified School District on Thursday to support continuing distance learning programs. The computers run on the company's Snapdragon processors and include built-in cellular connectivity, giving students with limited access to Wi-Fi another avenue to learn remotely. Qualcomm arranged to have the computers assembled by a contract manufacturer in Taiwan. The laptops, along with three months of free cellular data from AT&T, totaled more than $400,000, said Susie Armstrong, vice president of engineering for Qualcomm. "In a case like distance learning, there is a tremendous amount of well-intentioned hardware donations," said Armstrong. "But the key point is, how do you actually get those to have connectivity." During the COVID-19 shutdowns, many coffee shops or libraries where students typically would go to link to Wi-Fi were shut down. &quo

An Area Court in Nyanya, FCT, on Wednesday ordered a 27-year-old man, Isaac Samuel, to sweep the court premises for one month for stealing 15 plasma television and laptops. The Judge, Abdullahi Ogedengbe, sentenced Samuel after he pleaded guilty to public incitement. Ogedengbe, however, gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N5,000. Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Mr D.F. Abba told the court that sometimes in 2018, the convict conspired with others now at large and stole 15 plasma television sets from residents in Durumi, five laptops and other valuable items. Abba said during police investigation the convict confessed and pleaded guilty to the crime. The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of section 97 and 298 of the Penal Code.

In the world of laptops, it's the devices that support gaming that have evolved the most. At their original inception they were big, heavy, noisy, expensive brutes with virtually no battery life. In recent years, however, they've evolved to become almost ultraportable. This was a change that many creative professionals picked up on, and led that professional crowd to start using gaming laptops for digital design, editing and rendering.  And while the hardware in these speedy machines was originally designed for LANs more than swanky studios, the gaming laptop's newfound broader appeal has meant it's had to constantly change, and today these devices are more cool, quiet and sophisticated than ever. In 2020, gaming laptops have evolved again thanks to Gigabyte's AORUS 15G professional-gaming laptop. If you've ever needed a high-performance laptop for any reason, prepare to want this one.

Headteachers fear the government's promise to deliver laptops to disadvantaged teenagers will not be fulfilled as the majority said this weekend they had still received none.  On 19 April, the secretary of state for education, Gavin Williamson, announced the scheme, claiming it would "take the pressure off" parents and schools, and support children without any access to online learning while schools were shut.  Yet, with just a week to go before secondary schools reopen more widely to pupils on 15 June, some headteachers have still only received emails telling them to "get ready" to be "invited to order" the laptops, tablets and 4G wireless routers – while most heads say they haven't received a single device yet for disadvantaged year 10 pupils.  When pressed on the question of numbers sent directly to headteachers this weekend, the Department for Education was unable to confirm whether any devices had been delivered. It stated that, in M

AMD's SmartShift tech, which boosts performance in laptops with AMD processors and GPUs, might be in the recently released Dell G5 15 SE gaming portable, but it won't be in any other notebooks this year. As PC World reports, according to Frank Azor, Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions at AMD, we won't see any more SmartShift portables until 2021, when there should be more options for buying these machines than just the one model from Dell. SmartShift tech was first revealed by AMD at CES back at the start of the year, alongside Ryzen 4000 mobile chips. SmartShift essentially allows the system to shift power dynamically between the CPU and GPU, although both must be AMD models for it to work. This happens seamlessly, in the background, and it means that when a demanding game is running and requires more oomph from the GPU, SmartShift can deliver just that, and better frame-rates (up to a 14% boost in certain games, AMD claims). Similarly, with CPU intensive tasks, the powe

A campaign has been launched to help buy laptops for dozens of children struggling to do schoolwork while living in direct provision. Almost €5,000 has been raised to help supply the laptops and other equipment needed for more than 120 children housed in direct provision centres in Co Wicklow. After schools closed in March, many children in the asylum centres have had little access to education. They have been limited in their ability to continue their studies at home due to the living conditions and lack of access to the computers and the internet. Roxanne Ndlovu, a 14-year-old from South Africa, has been living in a Wicklow direct provision centre for almost eight months and shares a room with her mother. The teenager, who is a first-year student at Loreto Secondary School, said she is struggling to do schoolwork. "It's difficult as I have to do the work on the mobile phone which is a real struggle. "There are no laptops at the centre which makes doing school work h

Wanting to explore outside, but unable to go anywhere, Alayna wandered out to her backyard and spotted two raised beds overgrown with weeds. Her mom has been doing a fair amount of gardening recently, and the unkempt beds inspired Alayna to give it a shot as well. With her mother, she cleared out the weeds and filled the boxes with dirt, then planted herbs and onions, bell peppers and carrots. "Growing your own food and plants is a good way to interact with the world around you and do good," Alayna says. "Getting outside refreshes your mind and body." Her revelation echoes the feelings of many other teens across the country who have — in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic — embraced new passions away from the confines of Zoom classes, YouTube, and video games. They've been gardening and hiking and bicycling with family members, and they're building backyard ponds, skateboard ramps and climbing walls. "Whether families or kids on their own are buildin
