It's a 15.6-inch full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS panel based device. Asus Zen devices are often pretty thin and this is no exception at 8mm. Improving its portability credentials is its weight of just 780g. Asus includes an ultra-thin 1mm foldable smart case with the screen, which provides screen protection and a further horizontal or vertical stand option.

Intel has just patched a vulnerability which has been open and exploitable in all its enterprise targeted Core processors - for the last nine years. Since 2008 Intel's business-focussed PC processors have shipped with Active Management Technology (AMT), Intel Standard Manageability (ISM) and Small Business Technology (SBT) features - all useful features for remote management.

The 13.5-inch screen (with a peculiar 2256×1504 resolution, retaining the 3:2 aspect ratio used on other Surface systems) is bright and crisp. Bezels are inoffensive. The system is very slim, at 14.5mm thick, with a slight taper. The lines are clean. The weight is respectable, for the screen size, at 2.76lb (1.25kg).

A press release from Tesla claims that, on average, a solar roof will cost $21.85 per square foot, if 35 percent of the panels are active and the rest are inactive.

With the launch of the new iPad Pro models at WWDC this year, Apple introduced new 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch devices that both came with an A10X Fusion Chip, which is said to deliver 30 percent faster CPU performance than previous-generation iPad Pro models and 40 percent faster graphics performance. In comparison, the A9 and A10 were built using a 16-nanometer process, the A8 used a 20-nanometer process, and the A7 used a 28-nanometer process.

The 10.5-inch iPad Pro is slightly larger than the 9.7-inch iPad Pro it replaces, but the size and weight difference is hardly noticeable, especially when you take in the much larger display. Apple was able to introduce a 20 percent larger display by shrinking the iPad's bezels by 40 percent. ProMotion introduces a 120Hz display refresh rate, which brings smoother, more responsive animations and motion response. For example, there's a dramatic difference when you scroll.

Without the need for the driver’s cab, the prototype looks pretty weird but if all goes to plan there will be 200 vehicles transporting goods between Gothenburg and Helsingborg in Sweden by 2020.

For many years, physicists have been aware of the existence of this doubly charmed particle because of current physical theories. However, nobody has been successful in observing the particle and it is only now that the baryon with two heavy quarks has been distinctively detected. Known as Ξcc++(Xicc++), this new particle is almost four times heavier than a proton.
