drag2share: Leaked HP video hints at a 14-inch laptop running... Android

source: http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/28/hp-video-hints-slatebook-14-with-android/?utm_source=Feed_Classic_Full&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget&?ncid=rss_full

Android on laptops is normally reserved for hybrid devices or units no bigger than 10 inches. If this leaked video is correct, however, then HP is planning to launch an Android laptop with a 14-inch display. The clip, found by Notebook Italia, shows a Slatebook 14 with a 1080p display, controlled by a quad-core NVIDIA chip and running a recent build of Google's mobile OS. The video also shows that the Android soft keys will remain on the bottom of the screen, as well as adding them to the keyboard where you'd normally find the Esc and Windows keys. There's not much more than that to go on right now, but we've pinged HP to find out if this is really coming, or just the hopeful fantasy of someone who really hates Chromebooks.

Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-level-headphones-2014-4

Samsung is getting into the premium audio business.

The company announced Sunday night a new line of headphones along with a wireless Bluetooth speaker called Level. Level products will launch globally in the coming weeks, but Samsung hasn't announced finalized dates and pricing for the U.S. yet. However, based on the specs, you can bet these new products won't be cheap.

There are four new products in the Level family. Let's break it down.

The Level Over is the top-tier model. The noise-canceling headphones pair with your smartphone wirelessly using Bluetooth and include touch controls on the side of the device. You can swipe up and down on the right speaker pad to adjust the volume, swipe forward or backward to change tracks, and tap the pad to pause/play.
