We have lost an hour of sleep, Spring is almost here... and the Game Developers Conference is taking place right now. There are a few huge events held each year, for those that are involved in the game industry. This is the place to find out about everything everyone is working on. It is exciting and exhausting, but DroidGamers is here to find out as much as we can for you. Stay tuned!</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Game Developers Conference 2016 is taking place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. Game developers and industry giants travel from all over the world to attend this conference. We attended last year, and were able to get some hands-on time with new games that are either at the early stages of development, or are soon to be released. Either way, we will do our best to find the most intriguing and relevant news stories out there, so that you can know what is taking place. We do know that VR gaming is going to make a huge showing this year, with the new devices that are currently being released. There are also plenty of indie game developers (Which we adore and respect!) that will be showing off their new projects.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/GDC2016/GDC-2016.jpg\"></img></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The event is taking place in the North and South Exhibit halls of the Moscone Center. Just to give you an idea of how gargantuan this event is, take a look at the floor plan layouts. Sure, you could get lost in this sea of information, but that is what you have us for. We have a few meetings set up with key developers, and we won't shy away from any new company, just because they don't have a large banner or booth. We are keeping our eyes peeled for the best and most innovative games that will be coming to your Android devices soon.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/GDC2016/GDC-2016-3.jpg\"></img></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/GDC2016/GDC-2016-2.jpg\"></img></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If our news gets out a little slower this week, it is because we are running around scoping out all the new content for you. The event started yesterday 3/14 and runs through Friday, 3/18. There are plenty of workshops for game developers to attend, and the latter half of the week, is when the Expo takes place. We are going to attempt to do all the conference stuff during the day and report more of the news in the evening, late night/early morning. Hang in there with us. The updates are coming, but may be a bit slower than usual.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/GDC2016/GDC-2016-4.jpg\"></img></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As always, thank you all for being consistent visitors to our DroidGamers website. We appreciate you visiting us daily, posting your comments and sharing any good news that you find, about Android gaming. We hope to see you at the conference if you are here. On another similar note, E3 2016 is coming in June. We plan on being there too!

The game was released awhile back on iOS. Now you have an opportunity to play this turn-based action game that sports an intriguing story, strategical gameplay and fantastic art.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, once you say Funky Panda, you will probably find yourself saying it over and over again. Fortunately, their game Monster Mountain is just as interesting as their name. It is an RPG with a story that is somewhat frightening, if you really think about if it were to come true. The art direction is impressive, the controls and gameplay are relatively easy to learn, though learning about what each character is capable of through evolving them, may take a while.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\"When the mountains first began to form, humanity overlooked the alteration in their every changing, chaotic world. Years passed, and the mountain grew, towering higher with each passing year, till finally all sunlight was torn from sight, plunging the earth into permanent darkness of the behemoth... And in the shadows, man became monster.\" - <strong>Funky Panda</strong></p>\r\n<div class=\"rt-image\">\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img align=\"left\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/news/MonsterMountain/Monster-Mountain-Game-1.jpg\"></img><img align=\"right\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/news/MonsterMountain/Monster-Mountain-Game-2.jpg\"></img></p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The game starts off with an creatively rendered short video. You are drawn into the game world and you eagerly await for the quest to begin. The game does a good job of educating you on how to play. While it seems uncomplicated, there are layers that you will uncover over time, that will help you play the game better. Remember, the game is an RPG that is turn-based. I like getting into the action and having more control over my characters, but Funky Panda does a good job of keeping the game interesting with the collection of cards (new characters), evolving and unique enemies. You can target your enemies at some points during the game, but a fair amount of the battles are done automatically.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Monster Mountain Features</strong>:</p>\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n<li>Countless unique characters and monsters to recruit</li>\r\n<li>Challenge other players in the Arena (PvP) and become the master</li>\r\n<li>Enchant your characters to gain extra power</li>\r\n<li>Build up your team and explore the endless world</li>\r\n<li>Unique ATB battle system</li>\r\n<li>Endless fun and great storyline</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You start the game with the main character Rusty Rain. He carries an almost raspberry colored sword with him into battle. It isn't long before you unlock other characters that will journey with you, like Lantern and Rimbaud. You can have up to four people in your party. Each character has a special ability that they can use during battle. Once the meter fills for that character's special ability, you choose which enemy you want to target. Once this is done, a shape appears like an L, or an s-curve. One end is open and the other end is closed. You have to start at the open end of the shape and draw the pattern towards the closed end. The faster that you do this, and the more accurate your tracing resembles what is on the screen, the higher the hit points your enemy receives from you. Whereas the automatic turn-based action kinds of pulls you away from the game, this element helps bring you back into it. </p>\r\n<div class=\"rt-image\">\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img align=\"left\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/news/MonsterMountain/Monster-Mountain-Game-3.jpg\"></img><img align=\"right\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/news/MonsterMountain/Monster-Mountain-Game-4.jpg\"></img></p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of each battle different items are dropped, such as coins, gems or other cards, that you can use later in other battles. In addition, stamina is added to your character. Stamina is important, because this is a free-to-play game. Each battle will cost you stamina, but the amount of stamina you are given, versus the amount of stamina it takes to battle, isn't wildly disproportionate, as it is in some other games.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Evolving your character will cost you gems and other items, which can be found in the in-game shop. The in-game shop has crystals, stamina and quick-combat items that can be purchased... with crystals. The cheapest crystal pouch goes for $7.99 and then moves upward, so you get the idea. The game also seems to have intermittent flash sales, where you can get stamina or crystals at a cheaper rate. Somehow, the old blue-light special at K-mart comes to mind. I am sure I am dating myself here even mentioning that, but nevertheless, if you want stamina cheaper, you might want to check out those sales. There are also daily rewards given that are pretty good, if you sign in to play the game daily.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a nutshell, there is a lot to like with Monster Mountain. Even though it is free-to-play, there seem to be enough options to play the game for a while before you run into a pay wall. How long that is, I can't say for sure. When I see caches of crystals for upwards of one hundred dollars, it makes me wonder.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Should you download Monster Mountain? That is a good question. I definitely think it is a game worth checking out. Getting up the mountain is going to take you some time. The world map (mountain) is quite large. Evolving your character is interesting, and selectively putting together your team, makes this an RPG game with plenty of strategy and gameplay to experience. The learning curve on how to level up or evolve your character, along with the seven different races that become available the longer you play, make this a game you can grow into.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The art direction is top notch, the narrative is engaging and the game is relatively fun to play. If I had more control over the characters it would even be more fun, but that is not how the game is designed. It is still a game that is produced well and with a high standard of quality. You may want to be cautious about how long you think you will be playing the game, due to the free-to-play structure.  I like what Funky Panda has created. It will be interesting to see how long I can enjoy it, before I am required to pony up some cash. If there were an option a little less than $7.99, for something that you will potentially run out of again, then it may be an easier sell than what it is now, based on what I have played. You absolutely lose nothing though, by downloading the game to try it out, to see if it is your cup of tea.</p>\r\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 12.16px; line-height: 1.3em;\">Monster Mountain</strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px; line-height: 1.3em;\">: </span><a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.funkypandagame.mountain\" style=\"font-size: 12.16px; line-height: 1.3em;\">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.funkypandagame.mountain</a></p>\r\n<p><strong>Monster Mountain Trailer</strong>: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/epH0NpdaEDE\"><span>https://youtu.be/epH0NpdaEDE</span></a></p><img alt=\"\" height=\"1\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/droidgamers/~4/j__yxm6dHWo\" width=\"1\"></img><xhtml:img xmlns:xhtml=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PlanetAndroidCom/~4/RPnyY5a7tuM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"></xhtml:img></div>","url":"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PlanetAndroidCom/~3/RPnyY5a7tuM/10810-funky-panda-bring-monster-mountain-to-google-play","guid":"http://www.droidgamers.com/index.php/game-news/android-game-news/10810-funky-panda-bring-monster-mountain-to-google-play","categories":[],"author":"Ed Burnette","date":"2016-03-15T14:16:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Enterprise security service Skyport raises $30M Series C round led by GV","description":"<img width=\"680\" height=\"427\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/2016-03-14_1705.png?w=680\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"2016-03-14_1705\" />&nbsp;Skyport Systems helps enterprises keep their data and applications secure by allowing them to host their services in a hardened appliance with embedded security features.

Stream Firsts mission is to make live-streaming part of every games design process rather than being an after thought. It will help game creators think more about the relationship between the gamers and their viewers and how this can play a role in the game. For gamers, this would mean a whole new way of experiencing gameplay. They could, for example, gain in-game experience just by watching another streamer.

Salesforce has been <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/salesforce-buys-predictionio-2016-2\">scooping up startups</a> that specialize in artificial intelligence and data analytics, and has added new features that automate a lot of the sales process lately.

this morning (OCDO.L)","description":"<p><a href=\"http://uk.businessinsider.com/ocado-trading-update-steady-progress-but-no-mention-of-morrisons-2016-3\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/56e7ea5edd08956d248b46c6-949-552/screen shot 2016-03-15 at 10.10.28.png\" alt=\"Ocado\" data-mce-source=\"Investing.com\"

up 7% this morning</a> after the company reported stronger than expected sales. This is good news for the company, and good news for people (like me) who own Ocado shares.</p>\r\n<p>It is also a revenge on the shorts.</p>\r\n<p>Ocado bulls have suffered the stock's decline from its peak at 600p back in 2014 to the bottom at 232p in February this year. Ocado was beaten down by news that <a href=\"http://uk.businessinsider.com/amazon-signs-morrisons-deal-ocado-impact-2016-2\">Amazon would begin grocery delivery</a> in the UK and notes from analysts like the crew at HSBC who believe &mdash; not making this up &mdash; that <a href=\"http://uk.businessinsider.com/hsbc-we-remain-unconvinced-of-long-term-viability-of-home-deliveries-for-grocery-2016-3\">the internet will not turn out to be a big deal when it comes to online supermarket shopping</a>.</p>\r\n<p>So today's beat was a welcome development.</p>\r\n<p>Even better, it looks like a lot of people in The City are going to lose money due to Ocado's good fortune. Reuters reported on March 10 that <a href=\"http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-markets-ocado-idUKKCN0WC0QN\">short interest in Ocado hit a record high</a>, at 23.1% of its stock on loan.</p>\r\n<p>People who \"short\" stock are basically betting that the stock will fall. Their theory is basically that Amazon will wipe the floor with Ocado, that Morrisons is pulling out of its deal with Ocado, and that all the other supermarkets are going to go online and run competing online delivery operations.</p>\r\n<p>The one thing everyone forgets is that online grocery delivery is a lot harder than it looks. The logistics are mind-bogglingly complicated. So complicated, in fact, that Ocado has programmed a bunch of robots to run its warehouses rather than rely on humans to pick goods off shelves.</p>\r\n<p>Here is just one counter-intuitive example of why this business is so hard: Most people assume that the best place to launch this type of business is a city like London, where customers are dense. But it can be more efficient for Ocado to deliver in the 'burbs because traffic is easier, there is better parking near customers' houses, and the bags don't need to be dragged up flights of stairs or go into lifts to be delivered.</p>\r\n<p>Even though customer deliveries may be physically closer to each other in London, it can be quicker to get them delivered in the suburbs for this reason. (Amazon, naturally, launched its Amazon Pantry offering in London. Ocado, meanwhile, is expanding&nbsp;West, opening a new customer fulfillment centre in Andover.)</p>\r\n<p>And then there are the analysts. Ocado has suffered in large part because many of the analysts covering it are retail or supermarkets experts and <em>not</em> tech stock analysts. That's why you get notes from the retail crew at HSBC who&nbsp;write things like: \"<a href=\"http://uk.businessinsider.com/hsbc-we-remain-unconvinced-of-long-term-viability-of-home-deliveries-for-grocery-2016-3\">We remain unconvinced of long-term viability of home deliveries for grocery</a>.\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Those guys are wrong. Ocado isn't a supermarket. It's a tech company. It's a mature startup that has a great mobile app and a bunch of robots that it can license anywhere on the planet. That explains why Ocado sales were up 15.3% today when Sainsbury's notched only a 0.1% increase on the same day. Haters gonna hate, but Ocado just keep chugging along,&nbsp;growing revenues quarter after quarter.</p>\r\n<p>Here is the most interesting stat I saw in today's release:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>February 2015: 214,000 orders per week</li>\r\n<li>September 2010: 92,834 orders per week</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Basically, shoppers have doubled the amount of weekly business they're doing with Ocado in the last six years. And Ocado isn't even available in large parts of the UK yet. The shorts are betting against growth. Good luck with that.</p>\r\n<p><em>Disclosure: The author owns Ocado stock.</em></p><p><a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/short-bets-on-ocado-went-wrong-2016-3#comments\">Join the conversation about this story &#187;</a></p> <p>NOW WATCH: <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel-speech-for-mark-zuckerberg-axel-springer-award-berlin-2016-2\">Billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel explains precisely how Mark Zuckerberg changed the world</a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\r\n<a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:bcOpcFrp8Mo\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:QXVau8BzmBE\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=QXVau8BzmBE\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=g5jrYQIlao4:MCMBpURLqts:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\r\n</div><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~4/g5jrYQIlao4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"/>","url":"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/g5jrYQIlao4/short-bets-on-ocado-went-wrong-2016-3","guid":"http://www.businessinsider.com/short-bets-on-ocado-went-wrong-2016-3","categories":[],"author":"Jim Edwards","date":"2016-03-15T10:55:52.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Mozillas super speedy new browser will be available for testing in June","description":"<img width=\"520\" height=\"245\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2015/09/mozilla-520x245.jpg\" alt=\"mozilla\" title=\"Mozilla&#039;s super speedy new browser will be available for testing in June\" data-id=\"919543\" /><br />A new browser built by Mozilla Research called Servo is close to becoming reality, with a post from one of the teams developers on the organizations forum confirming a first release should land in June.

For the first time in many years, AMD has published a GPU architecture roadmap.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10145/amd-unveils-gpu-architecture-roadmap-after-polaris-comes-vega\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10145/Roadmap_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Plotting perf/watt against the years, AMD&rsquo;s roadmap unveils two new architectures: Vega, and Navi. Essentially everything there is to know about these architectures is in this slide &ndash; AMD is being tight-lipped regarding further details &ndash; but this map gives us some tantalizing new information to work with.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vega is currently scheduled to come relatively quickly after Polaris. Depending on how literal you interpret this chart, the far left edge of the Vega box does fall into 2016, though obviously AMD intends to leave themselves some wiggle room here and not tie themselves down to specific dates. The fact that Vega comes this soon after Polaris is interesting;&nbsp; it seems hard to believe that it&rsquo;s a direct successor to Polaris &ndash; I can&rsquo;t see AMD replacing Polaris parts in less than a year &ndash; so this points to Vega being more of a cousin, and is where AMD&rsquo;s naming system isn&rsquo;t especially helpful in deciphering anything further.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With Polaris confirmed to use GDDR5, Vega is notable for being the first AMD architecture to use HBM2, and the first parts in general to use HBM tech since Fiji. I&rsquo;m presuming these are higher-end GPUs to complement the Polaris GPUs (the smaller of which we know to be a low-power laptop design), which is where HBM would be more cost-effective, at least at current prices.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile AMD has also confirmed the number of GPUs in the Vega stack and their names. We&rsquo;ll be seeing a Vega 10 and a Vega 11.&nbsp; This follows Polaris GPU naming &ndash; which has finally been confirmed &ndash; with Polaris 10 and Polaris 11. I have also been told that Polaris 11 is the smaller of the Polaris GPUs, so at this point it&rsquo;s reasonable to assume the same for Vega.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, farther out towards 2018 is an architecture AMD is calling Navi. This one I suspect will attract the most attention (even if it&rsquo;s the farthest out) due to the ambiguity of its features: &ldquo;scalability&rdquo; and &ldquo;nextgen memory&rdquo;. Similar to how it&rsquo;s hard to see Vega directly replacing Polaris, it&rsquo;s hard to see Navi directly replacing Vega after only a year. This leaves Navi rife for speculation; I could very well see it being a Polaris replacement since we&rsquo;ll be nearly 2 years past Polaris, or perhaps something to do with AMD&rsquo;s APU plans. Either way I don&rsquo;t expect that this will be the last time AMD teases it before finally launching it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><div>Gallery: <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4771\" target=\"_blank\">AMD Capsaicin Presentation Deck</a><div><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4771#1\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4771/Capsaicin Presented by AMD Radeon_FINAL-page-001_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4771#2\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4771/Capsaicin Presented by AMD Radeon_FINAL-page-002_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4771#3\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4771/Capsaicin Presented by AMD Radeon_FINAL-page-003_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4771#4\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4771/Capsaicin Presented by AMD Radeon_FINAL-page-004_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4771#5\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4771/Capsaicin Presented by AMD Radeon_FINAL-page-005_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4771#6\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4771/Capsaicin Presented by AMD Radeon_FINAL-page-006_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a></div></div></p>\r\n</p><p align=\"center\"><a href='http://dynamic1.anandtech.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=a1f2f01f&amp;cb=403148664' target='_blank'><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src='http://dynamic1.anandtech.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=24&amp;cb=403148664&amp;n=a1f2f01f' border='0' alt='' /></a><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://toptenreviews.122.2o7.net/b/ss/tmn-test/1/H.27.3--NS/0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10145/amd-unveils-gpu-architecture-roadmap-after-polaris-comes-vega","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10145:news","categories":["GPUs"],"author":"Ryan Smith","date":"2016-03-15T07:30:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Airbus has a crazy idea to speed up airplane boarding that looks like something from 'Thunderbirds'","description":"<p><img style=\"float:right;\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/5565e0b0dd0895515a8b45fd-3246-2435/boarding-an-airplane.jpg\" alt=\"Boarding an airplane\" data-mce-source=\"Shutterstock\" /></p><p>Unless you're deathly afraid of planes, one of the worst things about flying is the sheer tedium of it.

When a company doesn't use Azure AD and chooses Okta instead,&nbsp;it might choose more non-Microsoft&nbsp;cloud services. </span></p>\r\n<p><span>\"That's what worries them,\"&nbsp;<span>McKinnon believes.</span></span></p>\r\n<p>On the other hand, it still irks him that&nbsp;Okta can't come to Microsoft's conference&nbsp;because Okta isn't just a competitor &mdash; it's an Office 365 customer, and has ben a big public supporter of it.</p>\r\n<p>\"We love Office 365,\" McKinnon tells us. \"We've worked very hard to make our product work with Office 365. Thousands of our customers successfully deploy with Okta and Office 365. It's very important that we work very well with Microsoft&nbsp;products. So we sponsor shows, come to events, and are vocal about Office 365.\"</p>\r\n<h2>Fighting like it's 1999</h2>\r\n<p>The whole thing smacks of the years when Microsoft was at war with the world, not the warm-and-open perception that Nadella is working hard to&nbsp;cultivate.</p>\r\n<p><span><img style=\"float:right;\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/56e741e29105844e018b654f-1332-999/toddoktane15-2.jpg\" alt=\"Okta Todd McKinnon\" data-mce-source=\"Okta\" data-mce-caption=\"Okta CEO Todd McKinnon\" />McKinnon is not convinced that this&nbsp;ban has&nbsp;come from the top. Microsoft's Office 365 team is still working closely with Okta's product team.&nbsp;Okta was just up in Seattle meeting with&nbsp;them earlier this month, he says.</span></p>\r\n<p>\"If you look inside the company, you see a bunch of people who understand the new way of openness and collaboration.

While GFXBench 4 is still relatively new, the demo showcased at GDC was for the upcoming GFXBench 5, which will have full support for Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX 12. This makes it a benchmark that targets all of the modern lower level graphics APIs introduced in recent times, and with the introduction of Vulkan on Android it means that we&#39;ll have a modern graphics benchmark using those APIs across all the major mobile and desktop platforms.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The main benchmark shown from GFXBench 5 is the Aztec Ruins scene.&nbsp;Kishonti notes that the benchmark has been made to scale up from phones all the way to desktops, although they focus on highlighting many of the advantages that support for Vulkan on Android will bring for games, including reducing overhead to improve CPU efficiency, which can ultimately lead to improved battery life.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As for what&#39;s new in GFXBench with Aztec Ruins, Kishonti states that the benchmark itself uses an entirely new in-house rendering engine which brings support for new effects like Dynamic Global Illumination, which is essentially a form of lighting that accounts for the illumination of certain surfaces caused by light that is reflected off of other surfaces. There are also various improvements at the engine level which take advantage of the new features included in Vulkan and other low level graphics APIs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10141/kishonti-announces-gfxbench-5-at-gdc\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10141/Picture2_575px.png\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In addition to its use as a benchmark for typical gaming devices, GFXBench 5 will also come with a VR testing mode that measures the rendering frame rate, frame rate stability, and latency information. It will also come with a demo mode that allows users with VR headsets to explore the benchmark&#39;s Aztec Ruins environment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>GFXBench 5 is still in its development phase, and Kishonti plans to release it by Q3 of this year. It&#39;s also available for licensing within their benchmarking development program to partners and other companies that may find it relevant to their testing. For those who are at GDC or viewing the conference via streams&nbsp;there will also be a short demo session for the new benchmark <a href=\"https://www.khronos.org/news/events/2016-khronos-sessions-san-francisco\">at 6:20PM on Wednesday during the Khronos event</a>.</p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10141/kishonti-announces-gfxbench-5-at-gdc","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10141:news","categories":["Smartphones"],"author":"Brandon Chester","date":"2016-03-14T23:15:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Samsung to feature innovative apps at SXSW, including Hum On!","description":"<img width=\"706\" height=\"383\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/hum_on1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small wp-post-image\" alt=\"hum_on1\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\" srcset=\"http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/hum_on1-600x325.jpg 600w, http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/hum_on1.jpg 706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" />So imagine that your smartphone can do this not only record you humming a tune of your own making (which it can easily do), but also build a full musical score around those few notes.

Being released under the name Radeon Pro Duo, the new card is a departure from the usual for AMD, with the company specifically targeting it towards VR content creation rather than end-user gaming.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>AMD <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9385/amd-shows-off-dualgpu-fiji-card\">originally teased</a> their then in-development dual-Fiji card back at the Fiji launch event in June of 2015. At the time the card was expected to launch towards the end of 2015 as the company&rsquo;s flagship gaming card. However at AMD&rsquo;s Polaris event in December, the company announced that they were realigning the card to focus on the VR market, and would be holding it back to 2016 to launch alongside the major VR headsets.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Officially AMD&rsquo;s commentary was limited reiterating their desire to have the card tied to the VR industry. However I believe that AMD also delayed the card due to the poor state of AFR scaling in recent AAA games, which would make a dual-GPU card a hard sale in the typical PC gaming market. VR, by contrast, is a much better fit since through technologies such as AMD&rsquo;s affinity multi-GPU, the two perspectives that need to be rendered for VR can be mapped directly to each GPU, avoiding AFR&rsquo;s dependency and pacing issues.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In any case, with the launch of the major VR headsets finally upon us, AMD is formally unveiling their dual Fiji card, the Radeon Pro Duo. That AMD is still not going after the consumer market means they have once again defied expectations, but first let&rsquo;s take a look at the specs as we know them so far.</p>\r\n\r\n<table

of performance; unsurprisingly this translates to two fully enabled Fiji GPUs, clocked at around 1GHz. This puts the maximum performance of the card very close to a Fury X Crossfire setup, however there is still the matter of TDP to get to.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Otherwise as this is Fiji, the rest of the specifications should not come as a surprise. Doubling up on Fijis gives us 64 ROPs and 256 texture units per GPU. And 4GB of HBM per GPU, clocked at 1Gbps for an effective memory bandwidth of 512GB/sec/GPU.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile on power consumption, though not in the initial press release, AMD has confirmed that the card is configured for a typical board power of 350W. In practice what this means is that the card is not too far removed from two R9 Nanos glued together, seeing as how R9 Nano had a TBP of 175W. However this also means that like the R9 Nano, the card is expected to power throttle under most heavy tasks, and the full 1GHz clockspeed will rarely see action. Again if it&rsquo;s anything like the single Nano, this would put the average clockspeeds at around 875MHz, so it&rsquo;s not quite a single card Fury X Crossfire analog.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even with the 350W TBP, the shots of the card in AMD&rsquo;s press materials all show 3 8-pin PCIe sockets, which would put the maximum power draw as officially allowed by the PCIe specification at 525W. Given the target professional market, all signs point to AMD opting to be conservative here and stick to the PCIe specification rather than risk pulling too much power over two sockets. These matters are rarely important to consumers, but it matters a lot to OEMs who may bundle the card, or at least offer it as an option. Meanwhile this also means that the Radeon Pro Duo is set to consume quite a bit less power than AMD&rsquo;s previous generation dual-GPU card, the Radeon R9 295X2. That card was rated for 500W and could come very close to actually drawing that.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10140/amd-announces-radeon-pro-duo\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10140/ProDuoCard_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the 350W TBP, AMD has once again resorted to a closed loop liquid cooler setup in order to keep the card at two slots wide. We don&rsquo;t have detailed specifications for the radiator, but it is a single 120mm radiator, and it looks quite similar to the Fury X&rsquo;s. The Fury X was essentially overbuilt in this regard, so it&rsquo;s easy to see why AMD wouldn&rsquo;t need a larger CLLC. This also means that the Radeon Duo Pro improves upon the R9 295X2 in a small but important way: everything is cooled by the radiator; there isn&rsquo;t a small fan at the center on top of all of this.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As for display I/O, AMD&rsquo;s official specs list 4x DisplayPort. However based on the admittedly limited pictures AMD has released, I believe this is an error on their part. The 4<sup>th</sup> port on the card looks a great deal like an HDMI port, which would make a lot of sense to have in place since HDMI is needed to drive the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10140/amd-announces-radeon-pro-duo\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10140/Radeon%20Pro%20Duo%20%281%29_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>But perhaps the bigger news though isn&rsquo;t the specifications, but the target market for the card. While I had initially expected AMD to target the card at the VR consumer market, AMD has gone in a different direction. Rather the Radeon Pro Duo is being pitched as a content creation card, making this an unusual halfway point between a Radeon and a FirePro.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I&rsquo;m writing this up in advance I haven&rsquo;t heard AMD&rsquo;s formal reasoning for why they aren&rsquo;t heavily promoting it for the consumer market &ndash; though clearly the card will work there &ndash; but after giving it some thought I suspect it has to do with the system requirements for VR gaming. Both Oculus and Valve are pushing the idea that a Radeon R9 290/GeForce GTX 970 should be the performance level VR games are designed around. If developers actually follow through on this, then having a faster card is not especially useful since VR displays are locked to v-sync and can&rsquo;t exceed their cap. If a 290 delivers 90fps, what would a Pro Duo when developers are targeting a fixed level of quality?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In which case content creation is the next best thing to do with the card. Games under development have yet to be tuned for performance, so it&rsquo;s sound reasoning that developers would want something as fast as possible to do their initial development on. The catch for AMD is that this does limit the market for the card; besides the high price tag, the market for developers is much smaller than the market for consumers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And since it&rsquo;s a content creation card, it will also be receiving special driver attention from AMD. The Radeon Pro Duo will still use the Radeon driver set, but the drivers for it will be validated for a selection of major content creation applications (modeling, animation, etc). Validated drivers won&rsquo;t come down the pipeline until a month or so after the card launches, but given AMD&rsquo;s workstation aspirations here, they want to give users a FirePro-lite experience and not force users into picking between a powerful card and drivers that the major tool developers will support.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10140/amd-announces-radeon-pro-duo\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10140/Radeon_Pro_Duo3_575px.png\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, let&rsquo;s talk pricing and availability. AMD has announced that the card will retail for $1499. This is the same price that the Radeon R9 295X2 launched at in 2014, however it&rsquo;s more than double the price of a pair of Fury Xes, so pricing is arguably not aggressive there. On the other hand it&rsquo;s more compact than a pair of Fury Xes (or even a pair of Nanos), so there is the space argument to be made, and as AMD&rsquo;s positioning makes clear this is first and foremost a development card to begin with. Meanwhile the Pro Duo will be shipping in &ldquo;early Q2 2016&rdquo;, which means we should see it become available in the next one to two months.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><div>Gallery: <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4769\" target=\"_blank\">Radeon Pro Duo</a><div><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4769#1\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4769/Radeon Pro Duo (9)_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4769#2\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4769/Radeon Pro Duo (8)_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4769#3\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4769/Radeon Pro Duo (7)_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4769#4\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4769/Radeon Pro Duo (6)_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4769#5\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4769/Radeon Pro Duo (5)_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4769#6\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4769/Radeon Pro Duo (4)_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a></div></div></p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10140/amd-announces-radeon-pro-duo","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10140:news","categories":["GPUs"],"author":"Ryan Smith","date":"2016-03-14T23:00:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Night mode is back and (we hope) it's here to stay","description":"Android's going dark again, and maybe this time it's gonna last.\n\nWhen I joined the Android world, Google Play Music All Access had a dark theme to it, and I absolutely loved it. I savored those darker hues when listening to my music late into the night. Then at Google I/O 2013, they unveiled All Access, and a shiny, white UI to go with it. And I wept, for my beloved dark theme was gone. Soon, white UIs took over all the Google apps, and over most of the system, as the once-dark Settings app went white in Lollipop.\n\nNow, in the Android N developer preview, some of apps are reclaiming their darker UIs with the newly returned Night mode. And I hope that maybe, just maybe, dark themes will return to more individual apps.\n\n\n\nIn Android M's developer preview, Night mode was hiding in the Developer options, but it was pulled from the official release.

Both make their homes in the larger Seattle area. Both are leading the cloud-computing market.</p>\r\n<p>And with gadgets like the <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-hololens-indefinitely-delayed-2016-2\">Microsoft HoloLens holographic goggles</a> and <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-echo-could-be-the-next-big-thing-2016-1\">Amazon Echo digital-voice assistant</a>, both companies want to redefine the notion of computing beyond the PC and smartphone.</p>\r\n<p>Right now, Amazon and Microsoft are&nbsp;<span class=\"s1\">leading&nbsp;some of the most promising efforts to develop the next big computing platforms.</span></p>\r\n<p>To understand why, one need look at only another similarity: <span>B</span><span>oth were completely steamrolled out of the smartphone market by Apple and Google.</span></p>\r\n<p><span>Those business setbacks, along with each companies'&nbsp;growing cloud capabilities, have set the stage for an exciting storyline.</span></p>\r\n<p>Between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/why-amazon-is-so-hard-to-topple-in-the-cloud-and-where-everybody-else-falls-2015-10\">the two companies have dominance over cloud computing</a> &mdash; a super-hot market that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently said was <a href=\"http://www.fiercecio.com/story/nadella-enterprise-cloud-opportunity-larger-any-market-microsoft-has-been/2016-01-28\">likely to&nbsp;be&nbsp;<span>\"larger than any market we've ever participated in.\"</span></a></p>\r\n<p>And it's that cloud expertise that makes&nbsp;Amazon and Microsoft the companies best poised to think beyond the smartphone and come up with the next big thing.</p>\r\n<h2>Lose to win</h2>\r\n<p>In some important ways, Apple and Google are victims of their own smartphone success.</p>\r\n<p>The iPhone, for example, is an unqualified hit and the main driver of Apple's immense revenues, but it also means that the company is limited when it comes to making bold bets for fear of cannibalizing its own cash cow.</p>\r\n<p>Even the Apple Watch is more of an extension of the iPhone platform than it is a new paradigm for technology. That's fine, but it <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-watch-sales-during-holiday-season-look-horrible-2016-2\">just wasn't as exciting as lots of people had hoped</a>.</p>\r\n<p>And Google has to toe a very fine line as it <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/google-folding-chrome-os-into-single-android-software-2015-10\">works to create what could be the successor to Android</a>, which would fuse together its smartphone and Chromebook operating systems.</p>\r\n<p>Amazon and Microsoft, no doubt, would love to have those problems. But, alas, the <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-hardware-division-layoffs-2015-8\">Amazon Fire Phone</a> and <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/idc-smartphone-os-market-share-2015-12\">Microsoft Windows phone businesses</a> have been relegated to the junk heap of history. Microsoft&nbsp;notably&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-lumia-650-announced-2016-2\">hangs on to the illusion of Windows phone's success</a>, but <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/tencent-on-microsoft-windows-decline-2016-1\">even big-time Microsoft fans know it's over</a>.</p>\r\n<p><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/56b616abdd089583178b45ab-5878-4409/amazon-echo-16.jpg\" alt=\"amazon echo uber\" data-mce-source=\"Dave Smith/Tech Insider\" /></p>\r\n<p>Which, it turns out, is actually really great for customers who are already perfectly happy with their existing smartphones. With no expectations or pretensions around the smartphone platform, Amazon and Microsoft can go&nbsp;<strong>completely nuts.</strong></p>\r\n<p>Holographic headset? Sure! <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-beating-apple-in-detachable-tablets-2016-3\">Laptop-tablet hybrids? Great</a>. A completely voice-based operating system? Why not? With their deep pockets, Microsoft and Amazon have everything to gain by investing in science-fictional technologies.</p>\r\n<p>And with the smartphone race settled, there's nothing to lose and no&nbsp;business they risk cannibalizing. There are also no users they risk alienating. They can try anything and everything in search of the next big hit.</p>\r\n<p>The Fire Phone may have flopped, but the Echo has become a favorite of Silicon Valley's finest, and soon, perhaps the world. Experts&nbsp;like Apple cofounder <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-wozniak-thinks-amazon-echo-is-the-next-big-platform-2016-3\">Steve Wozniak even say that Echo is the next great platform</a>.</p>\r\n<p>And, as <a href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/3/11157394/amazon-alexa-fire-phone-failure-echo-success-smart-home\">The Verge's Lauren Goode points out</a>, the Echo probably would never have happened had the Fire Phone been a hit. Sometimes you have to lose to win.</p>\r\n<h2>Cloud is king</h2>\r\n<p>All of this new hardware from Microsoft and Amazon would be useless if you couldn't do anything with it.</p>\r\n<p>The thing about the Amazon Echo is that <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-echo-17-features-2016-2\">all of the increasingly crazy stuff it can do</a> &mdash; from searching the web to ordering an Uber to reading you your Kindle books aloud &mdash; relies on a lot of complex stuff going on behind the scenes.</p>\r\n<p>Same for Microsoft's coolest stuff: The HoloLens relies on hardware for its holograms, but <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-windows-10-redstone-to-get-cortana-update-2015-12\">Windows 10's&nbsp;Cortana virtual assistant</a>&nbsp;will serve&nbsp;as one of its major interface methods, letting you talk to access apps and services.</p>\r\n<p>Cloud computing, the model where startups and large enterprises alike rent practically unlimited supercomputing capacity from hyperefficient data centers run by the tech giants, is already&nbsp;a hugely growing market.</p>\r\n<p>And AWS and Microsoft Azure, already the No. 1 and No. 2 players in the market by a country mile, respectively, use their own clouds to power stuff like Echo, Cortana, and more.</p>\r\n<p>It's a big part of why, in a&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-echo-vs-siri-2016-3\">feature-for-feature</a>&nbsp;comparison, Amazon Echo beats Apple Siri every time. Apple doesn't really have any particular specialty in the cloud, while Amazon just keeps making its cloud&nbsp;infrastructure bigger&nbsp;and smarter.</p>\r\n<p><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/56c6669add0895896d8b456c-2000-1333/ted2016_021816_1bh7781.jpg\" alt=\"HoloLens\" data-mce-source=\"TED\" /></p>\r\n<p>More importantly, the cloud allows for a certain kind of consistency. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella calls this a \"consistency of experiences\" &mdash; Cortana learns your preferences across every single device, while services like OneDrive store your files so you have them everywhere.</p>\r\n<p>It means that with every new experiment, and every bold try at a new computing standard, Microsoft and Amazon get smarter. They get to know you and your preferences better, even as the system itself learns from how you use it. It means things get iteratively better, and every shot gets closer to the mark.</p>\r\n<p>Google has a lot of the same cloud savvy, so the company has the potential to excel here as well as it creates more of its own consumer-hardware devices.</p>\r\n<p>As customers flock to Microsoft Azure and AWS, they give them more capital to reinvest in the platforms. That investment manifests as more features and more capacity, which then attracts more customers. Amazon calls this \"<a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/why-amazon-is-so-hard-to-topple-in-the-cloud-and-where-everybody-else-falls-2015-10\">the virtuous cycle</a>.\"</p>\r\n<p>So while competitors like Google have the&nbsp;cloud piece, and Apple has the devices piece, Amazon and Microsoft have the freedom they need to just experiment, right alongside the computing power to make things that are really, truly different. Everybody wins!</p><p><strong>SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-beating-apple-in-detachable-tablets-2016-3\" >Microsoft is beating Apple in a key battle for the future of computing</a></strong></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-and-amazon-are-a-lot-alike-2016-3#comments\">Join the conversation about this story &#187;</a></p> <p>NOW WATCH: <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/view-amazon-lifetime-order-history-2016-2\">Here's how to see how much you've spent on Amazon in your lifetime</a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\r\n<a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:bcOpcFrp8Mo\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:QXVau8BzmBE\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=QXVau8BzmBE\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Ut55ZtTH6rE:LIW_qBBN1Ag:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\r\n</div><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~4/Ut55ZtTH6rE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"/>","url":"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/Ut55ZtTH6rE/microsoft-and-amazon-are-a-lot-alike-2016-3","guid":"http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-and-amazon-are-a-lot-alike-2016-3","categories":["AWS"],"author":"Matt Weinberger","date":"2016-03-14T22:45:10.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Paramount says 'Star Trek' fan film's Klingon violates copyright","description":"<img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-shared/dims3/GLOB/crop/3200x2132+0+0/resize/1400x933!/format/jpg/quality/85/http://hss-prod.hss.aol.com/hss/storage/midas/715bba19a56599e0697bc97371c3b4a8/201619801/154004436.jpg\" />Ever since CBS and Paramount Pictures sued the makers of the Star Trek fan film Axanar, fans have been wondering: what alleged copyright violations were so onerous that lawyers had to get involved?

This is disrupting the relationships between banks and their customers, and banks are losing out on branding and cross-selling opportunities. For many banks, this will require further commoditization of their products and services.</span></li>\r\n<li>The ATM will go the way of the phone booth. <span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Relatively low operational costs compared to bank branches, paired with customers' preference for in-network ATMs, makes the ATM an attractive substitute for bank tellers.

It&#39;s can definitely be difficult to have to manage two different ecosystems with their own apps, but at this point the iPad still has a significant platform advantage over most tablets as far as applications and multitasking goes, and to improve multitasking and productivity further you really need to move to a full blown Windows tablet.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>iPad Mini 2 and iPad Mini 4</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The iPad line is fairly simple, with only a few options available, and most of them occupying their own screen size. For people who want a smaller tablet, Apple offers the iPad Mini 2 and iPad Mini 4. The former is definitely getting&nbsp;old, although at $269 it offers a fairly inexpensive entry to the iPad ecosystem. I think it&#39;s probably unwise to purchase an iOS device with only 1GB of RAM at this point, as we&#39;re moving closer to the point where developers can assume that productivity apps can take advantage of devices with&nbsp;2-4GB of RAM.&nbsp;$399 gets you the iPad Mini 4 which offers significant improvements to the display, performance, and the size and mass of the chassis. The Mini 4 is definitely my recommendation for a small iPad because of the improved display and additional RAM to enable split screen multitasking, but the $399 price for the 16GB model can definitely be hard to swallow when you can get many small Android tablets for half the price.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Click here to read our reviews of the <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/7519/apple-ipad-mini-with-retina-display-reviewed\">iPad Mini 2</a> and the <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9724/the-apple-ipad-mini-4-review\">iPad Mini 4</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"666\">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81kigs0%2B0-L._SL1500_.jpg\" data-pid=\"B00GQDBS7O\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"Apple iPad Mini 2 16GB\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GQDBS7O?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B00GQDBS7O|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GQDBS7O?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B00GQDBS7O|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Apple iPad Mini 2 16GB on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n\t\t\t</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41VuNciN16L.jpg\" data-pid=\"B016POG0L2\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"Apple iPad Mini 4 16GB\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016POG0L2?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B016POG0L2|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016POG0L2?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B016POG0L2|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Apple iPad Mini 4 16GB on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n\t\t\t</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9771/best-tablets\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9771/iPad-Stack_Jupiter-PRINT_575px.png\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>iPad Air and iPad Air 2</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>For a buyer that&#39;s interested in a more standard sized tablet, Apple sells the iPad&nbsp;Air and the iPad Air 2&nbsp;respectively for the 16GB models. At this point I really wouldn&#39;t go for the iPad Air due to the limited amount of RAM it includes which prevents you from using split screen multitasking. As for the iPad Air 2, it&#39;s arguably still the best full sized tablet on the market despite the fact that it&#39;s being on the market for around 1.5 years. With Apple holding an event in around a week it may be&nbsp;better to wait until the end of the month before pulling the trigger on a 9.7&quot; iPad, as Apple may have something new coming down the pipeline.</p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Yel8ffbaL.jpg\" data-pid=\"B00OTWOAAQ\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"Apple iPad Air 2\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OTWOAAQ?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B00OTWOAAQ|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OTWOAAQ?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B00OTWOAAQ|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Apple iPad Air 2 on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n\r\n<h3>iPad Pro</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>At the very top of the iPad line sits the iPad Pro.&nbsp;The iPad Pro will inevitably be compared to the Surface Pro 4, but as Josh made very clear in his review of it, the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 4 are very different devices that target different users. The Surface Pro 4 is the best device for someone who wants a laptop-like device with tablet aspects, while the iPad Pro is very much a pure tablet.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91nij6L-JnL._SL1500_.jpg\" data-pid=\"B0155OCLWK\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"Apple iPad Pro\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0155OCLWK?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B0155OCLWK|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0155OCLWK?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B0155OCLWK|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Apple iPad Pro on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n\r\n<p>As someone who has actually adopted the iPad Pro for many tasks, I think the applications of it are fairly clear, along with the target market. Students are definitely a big group within it, as the combination of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil is more than capable of replacing notes written on paper. Creative professionals will find enjoyment from the combination of the two as well.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you decide that the iPad Pro is the device for you, there are some considerations to make regarding accessories. I think the Apple Pencil is a must have for most users, although not all. The $99 price tag does add a significant amount on top of the price of an already expensive tablet, and so it&#39;s something to consider when comparing to other devices. As for the Smart Keyboard, it&#39;s definitely useful in some circumstances, but definitely not as necessary as the Apple Pencil. I think the lack of lap usability is a big drawback, and I&#39;ve rarely ever used it apart from a few circumstances where I had to use SSH without a laptop around. Unless you really want the keyboard for typing up documents, I would probably pass on it, as at $169 it&#39;s very expensive.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Android Tablets</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>I took a look at a number of Android tablets back in 2015, and this year added the Google Pixel C to the list. In most cases&nbsp;the tablets I review all end up occupying their own price bracket, so it&#39;s not difficult to pick out the best at each price due to the limited competition.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, it&#39;s pretty accurate to say that the past year hasn&#39;t been the greatest for Android phones or tablets due to issues with the available SoCs from Qualcomm, along with Android&#39;s general tablet problems. On top of that,&nbsp;all but two or three of the tablets that I reviewed had issues with display power usage or calibration. Despite that, I think there were three notable Android tablets that launched in the past year.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9771/best-tablets\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9771/shield-tablet-and-shield-wireless-controller-titanfall-640px_575px.png\" style=\"height: 326px; width: 500px;\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/415UgjLZOcL.jpg\" data-pid=\"B0171BS9CG\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0171BS9CG?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B0171BS9CG|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0171BS9CG?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B0171BS9CG|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1 on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n\r\n<p>Starting off with my recommendation for a low-cost Android tablet, I think the <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0171BS9CG?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B0171BS9CG|NA[bbc|text\">NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1</a> is the obvious winner of this category. The SHIELD Tablet K1 was originally sold for $299 before being recalled due to battery issues, but late last year it was re-introduced at a&nbsp;$199 price point with its new name. With most vendors having given up on providing compelling tablets at the $200 price point, the SHIELD Tablet K1 is mostly without competition.&nbsp;The performance provided by NVIDIA&#39;s Tegra K1 SoC is far greater than what you&#39;d expect from a $199 device, and up until the launch of the Pixel C the GPU was unmatched by any other Android tablet. You can read our review of the SHIELD Tablet K1 in its original iteration&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/8296/the-nvidia-shield-tablet-review\">here</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;\">The only complaint I really have about the SHIELD Tablet K1 is that while the display is a sufficiently high resolution at 1920x1200, the color gamut and accuracy is lacking. While this can be excused somewhat based on the $199 price tag, we&#39;re definitely getting to a point where a limited gamut isn&#39;t excusable on any device. Despite that compromise, I don&#39;t know of any current Android tablet that competes at this price point. When you factor in the game streaming&nbsp;support, relatively quick updates, and few tweaks to the Android UI, the SHIELD Tablet K1 is definitely worth considering.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7&quot;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9771/best-tablets\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9771/DSC01353_575px.JPG\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81j8jy6sUwL._SL1500_.jpg\" data-pid=\"B010OTG3BQ\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010OTG3BQ?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B010OTG3BQ|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010OTG3BQ?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B010OTG3BQ|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p>If someone is looking for a high end Android tablet, then the <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010OTG3BQ?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B010OTG3BQ|NA[bbc|text\">Galaxy Tab S2</a> is still a very good option. <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9709/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-review\">When I&nbsp;reviewed the Tab S2</a>&nbsp;I praised its thin and light build, and high quality AMOLED display, I wasn&#39;t fond of the use of plastic, the performance, or the battery life. On the hardware side it lags behind the aging iPad Air 2 which is quite unfortunate. Samsung does try to offer tablet-oriented features, like their split screen and separate window&nbsp;multitasking. Unfortunately, the features are limited by what changes Samsung can make, and they don&#39;t measure up to what you get on iOS or Windows. Fortunately, Google is coming through with their own multitasking implementation in Android N, and we&#39;ll hopefully see that make its way to the Tab S2.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Google Pixel C</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9771/best-tablets\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10122/DSC01540_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, we have Google&#39;s own tablet, the Pixel C. The Pixel C has had a rocky lifetime, and it has only been out since December of last year. In its original form it was plaugued by problems relating to its WiFi, its touchscreen, its stability, and its performance. Since that time Google has issued a patch that significantly improved the touchscreen responsiveness and the software stability, and with that patch the Pixel C became what is arguably the best Android tablet on the market. It definitely isn&#39;t without its flaws, as the WiFi has a very short range and never comes close to achieving the speeds that it should, but unfortunately the current Android tablet market forces you to pick and choose between hardware related problems, and in the Pixel C&#39;s case its performance, display quality, and battery life are enough to put it above the competition. <a href=\"https://store.google.com/product/pixel_c\">It&#39;s available for $499 in a 32GB configuration, or $599 for the 64GB model.</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Pixel C has one major accessory, which is its keyboard cover. At $149 it&#39;s not something I would recommend due to the Pixel C&#39;s&nbsp;its general issues with wireless connectivity along with the limited use for the keyboard, but it is available for users who want it. One notable thing is that the keyboard&nbsp;has a very novel hinge implementation that allows you to set it to almost any angle without the need for a kickstand.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Windows Tablets</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The Windows tablet market is pretty much a Microsoft Surface market at this point. There haven&#39;t been any successors to the inexpensive Bay Trail tablets of two years ago, and most Windows tablets are really 2-in-1 laptops that either have a rotating hinge or can be split into two parts. There certainly have been some notable launches there&nbsp;like the ASUS T300 Chi, and of course Microsoft&#39;s own Surface Book,&nbsp;but they often end just being both a mediocre tablet and a mediocre laptop. Meanwhile, convertible devices like the HP Spectre x360 can be great laptops, but being convertible means you&#39;re always holding up a laptop, which is just far too heavy to comfortably use.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With all that in mind, my recommendation from last Christmas hasn&#39;t changed. The&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012DTDI2C?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B012DTDI2C|NA[bbc|text\">Surface 3</a> and the <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01606IDL0?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B01606IDL0|NA[bbc|text\">Surface Pro 4</a>&nbsp;are the best you can get for Windows laptops. For many people the full Windows experience with legacy apps and a filesystem necessary for their daily workflow.&nbsp;The bonus on top of that with the Surfaces is tha&nbsp;you get a Windows experience that is free of the preloaded bloatware that other OEMs include.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Microsoft Surface 3</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9771/best-tablets\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9771/y_575px.png\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The entry model in the Surface line is the Surface 3. This is both a smaller and less expensive device than the Surface Pro 4, but it still runs a full copy of Windows. The display is a 10.8&quot; 1920x1280 panel with a high degree of color accuracy, but at $499 the resolution is definitely much lower than it should be. Inside is an Intel Atom x7-Z8700 SoC, along with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC NAND in the $499 model, or 4GB of RAM and 128GB of NAND in the $599 model. The additional RAM and storage for $100 is definitely worth it if you plan to be running any serious Windows software, although as the price moves even further beyond $499 the display&#39;s low pixel density becomes very difficult to accept. Adding on Microsoft&#39;s Surface Pen bumps the price up another $50, and the Type cover is $129 so the cost of the accessories brings the price up fairly quickly.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Microsoft Surface Pro 4</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9771/best-tablets\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9771/b73ccd0e-0e08-42b5-9f8d-9143223eafd0_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, the flagship Surface tablet is the Surface Pro 4. The Surface Pro 4 comes in more configurations than I could ever list here.&nbsp;The pricing ranges from $899 for the fanless model with an Intel Core m3-6Y30 CPU, a 128GB PCIe SSD, and 4GB of RAM, all the way to&nbsp;$2699 for a dual core Intel Core i7-6650U, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB PCIe SSD. The average price for the Surface Pro 4 should make it pretty clear why I think it ends up competing more with high end laptops than iPads or Android tablets, but it is technically a tablet. From another point of view, the base model isn&#39;t really any more expensive than the iPad Pro once you factor in what Apple charges for accessories, and getting the full Windows experience will appeal to many people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Specs that are common to all models of the Surface Pro 4 are a&nbsp;12.3&quot; 2736x1824 display, 802.11ac WiFi, and an included Surface Pen. The battery capacities do vary based on the CPU you get, and the Core i5 and Core i7 models aren&#39;t able to be passively cooled like the Core m3 model is so they do use a fan for cooling. Microsoft&#39;s Surface Type Cover will still run you $129 on top of the price of the tablet, or $159 if you opt for the version that has a fingerprint scanner for authentication.</p>\r\n\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"666\">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61BHi0zaruL._SL1000_.jpg\" data-pid=\"B01606IDL0\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"Microsoft Surface Pro 4\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01606IDL0?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B01606IDL0|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01606IDL0?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B01606IDL0|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Microsoft Surface Pro 4 on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n\t\t\t</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ntShoppingWidget\" data-image=\"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71Rooeu8wHL._SL1348_.jpg\" data-pid=\"B012DTDI2C\" data-provider=\"amazon\" data-title=\"Microsoft Surface 3 128GB\" data-url=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012DTDI2C?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B012DTDI2C|NA[bbc|manual\"><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012DTDI2C?tag=anandtech01-20&amp;ascsubtag=[site|anand[cat|NA[art|9771[pid|B012DTDI2C|NA[bbc|manual\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Microsoft Surface 3 128GB on Amazon.com</a></div>\r\n\t\t\t</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<p>Both Surface tablets can legitimately replace a full fledged Windows laptop, and in part that&#39;s because they excel at the types of tasks you would do on a laptop.
