An US missile dynamited a boat in the middle of the Caribbean. And then Venezuela went to Gemini to see if the video was real

by

The story began on September 2, when Donald Trump affirmed That the United States Armed Forces had executed a precision attack against a “positively identified” vessel that transported drugs from Venezuela and was operated by members of the Aragua Train, designated by Washington as narcoterrorist, with a balance of eleven dead according to their own story. From then on until now all kinds of events have occurred. The video. Shortly after, the president amplified the message with A declassified video Through social truth that shows the detonation of a white missile in the high seas and a public warning to future traffickers, while Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, He corroborated the characterization of “lethal coup” against an objective that would have sailed from Venezuelan coasts. A senior defense official, cited in the background, confirmed The action as a precision attack against a “Drug Vessel”, in line with the known employment of rapid boats of three or four force used for cocaine routes to the north. Context and political framework. The announcement came days after Trump will order to deploy Three marine ships in the Caribbean to reinforce the interdiction of posters against Venezuela, expanding the role of the pentagon in missions traditionally led by the coastal guard. The president already He had instructed At the beginning of the year to prepare force use options against transnational criminal organizations after declaring them as foreign terrorist organizations in executive order, an framing that seeks to provide greater legal flexibility to extraterritorial kinetic operations. In parallel, the treasure sanctioned to the so -called Cartel de los Soles (Officer Network accused by Washington of drug trafficking and supporting the Aragua Train and the Sinaloa Cartel) as a specially designated global terrorist entity, consolidating a financial and safety pressure scaffolding. Caracas responds. Shortly after, Nicolás Maduro, whom the United States considers an illegitimate ruler for electoral fraud, human rights and drug trafficking violations, He warned That Rubio pushed Trump towards war and promised resistance if Venezuela is attacked, describing US military accumulation as “the greatest threat that our continent has seen in 100 years.” Although the Venezuelan government did not immediately react to the concrete attack, the martial tone and the doctrine of “defense of the territory” enunciated by Maduro raise the political bar and increase the risk of incidents of narrative or operational climbing in a dense maritime environment and complex jurisdictions. The norm vs the lethal force. It also happened another problem. I remembered The Wall Street Journal that the expansion of the prominence of the Pentagon contrasted with the standard procedures of the Coast Guard described by the former United States embassy in Panama, John Feeley: Identification, stop orders, priority for preserving life, neutralization of engines with .50 caliber shooters from helicopters if the boat tries to flee and approach to verify load. According to that doctrine, the use of direct lethal fire is not the norm except in legitimate defense; Hence, the kinetic destruction of a suspicious boat, without the typical sequence of “interdiction and approach”, represents a qualitative leap in commitment rules and in the signal issued to criminal networks and the states that shelter them. The video goes on a suspect. The clip, which Trump presented as proof of the effectiveness of its anti -drug strategy and as a warning to organized crime, He went to the protagonist being quickly questioned by Caracas. Freddy Ñáñez, Minister of Venezuelan Communication, accused in the networks Social to the president to disseminate images “generated by artificial intelligence”, pointing out the aesthetics “almost caricaturesca” of the explosion, visual artifacts and water with an artificial aspect, characteristic of synthetic productions. He did it with an equally doubtful study. Namely: He asked Google’s AI, Gemini, what seemed to him the sequence, and it responded after an analysis that “it was very likely” that it would have been created generated by ia. The doubts to the operation. Again, Trump said the ship crew belonged to the Aragua Train, a Venezuelan criminal organization designated by Washington as a terrorist group in February. However, the veracity of the material was questioned. Reuters Indian That he did not find conclusive manipulation evidence, although he continues to review the video as part of his verification process. Beyond the technical debate, security experts They expressed reservations On the performance in itself following the exhibition of Feeley and remembering that the usual practices of the Coast Guard seek to preserve lives and rarely open fire against suspicious vessels, since most crews are surrendered without resistance. Electoral key message. Plus: The episode has acquired a greater relevance for the context in which it occurred: it was Trump’s first public appearance in a week, in the midst of Speculations about your status Health at 79. The video became A propaganda instrument More than in a military part, used by the president and his main ministers (Marco Rubio outdoors and Pete Hegseth in defense) to underline his hard hand against drug trafficking. The message that accompanied the clip In social Truth, written with Trump’s usual excessive style, reinforced the intimidating tone towards any attempt to introduce drugs in the United States. The shadow of AI. In addition, the controversy has spread to the broadest field of digital manipulation. Ñáñez insisted in which the piece was an artificial creation aimed at manufacturing a media victory, while, in parallel, Trump himself contributed to confusion by disqualifying as “probably generated by AI” another viral recording that showed alleged objects thrown through a White House window, despite the fact that the Executive himself himself He had explained which was a contractor performing maintenance work. The contradiction fed the perception of a president willing to use the Technological ambiguity To mold the political story. F-16A of Venezuela Two fighters appear. In the last hours the tension has increased. The pentagon confirmed that two Venezuelan fighters F-16 They approached To the American destroyer USS Jasson Dunham, a Arleight Burke class ship deployed in the Caribbean as part of the drug … Read more

The Church faces the challenge of a future without priests. At the moment he already knows how to allow women to give “Mass”

by

Almudena Suárez Treviño is a woman of Mass. Although not in the conventional sense of expression. She not only goes to the church of her people to listen to the priest on duty, give peace to the rest of parishioners and commune in the Eucharist. No. In addition to all that Almudena officiates religious celebrations in Catholic temples. Almost (almost) as if it were a parish priest. So much so that the bishopric of Tui-Vigo He just ratified it officially in its functions. Your case, enough less exceptional of what it seems, it is actually the finding of a much greater phenomenon: the Vocations crisis. What happened? That the bishop of Tui-Vigo has just published a APPOINTMENT LIST Officers, a kind of internal adjustment in the diocese to “alleviate the current deficiencies of attention “that causes the shortage of priests. Until there nothing weird. Nor does anything that can arouse interest beyond the affected villages. The striking, which has aroused the interest of the parishioners and means of the rest of the community and Spain (including the Galician television), is that this list of priests closes with the name of a woman: Almudena Suárez. And not just that. He Official document Proclamation for those who want to read it that this woman is authorized to direct “the celebration of the word” in seven parishes of the arciprest of Louriña (Pontevedra) as long as its presbyter is not. Actually the announcement of the bishop of Tui-Vigo is a ratification because Almudena has been having an out of the common role in his parishes. So much, in fact, that three years ago Vigo lighthouse He already dedicated him A report. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A cure woman? No. Almudena is not a priest. It is really Biologist and theologianhas a title of religious sciences, a master’s degree and at least until a few years ago she exercised as a religion teacher in an Institute in Pontevedra. That is your professional curriculum, your presentation sheet. 21 years ago, however, one of his theology professors proposed to embark on “An innovative project”an adventure that in practice would lead him to be more than a simple parishioner. What Almudena did was get involved in the Diocesan assemblies in the absence of presbyters in the Galician rural. With the approval of who then act as a bishop in the diocese of Tui-Vigo (a decision that his successors have maintained) assumed a responsibility that basically allows the parishes in the area to become more bearable the shortage of priests and the lack of vocations. But Masses officiate? No. Sundays Almudena go to a series of churches, it is located before the rest of parishioners, read, preach and fulfill in some way the role that a pastor should play, but does not officiate a liturgy. What it does has another name: word celebration. “We arrived, we meet and the first part of the celebration, which is called the word liturgy, is exactly the same as in a mass. We ask for forgiveness, the reading is done, I proclaim the gospel and preach,” Explain to The voice. “We profess faith, pray the creed and do the requests.” That does not mean that it is a kind of priestess or that it takes care of the same rites as a priest. “I want to make it clear that I don’t trade masses”, insists The woman before clarifying that when it comes to communing she is only responsible for distributing the hosts that a pastor has previously consecrated, a task that the Church does not allow her to assume. By providing that service Almudena facilitates life to the priest in charge of the seven villages, serving as support. The two alternate on Sundays in the churches, so that a week the parishioners have Mass and the following, celebration. How do she carry it? Initially he confesses that it was difficult to take pass through his family’s misgivings to “how people would respond.” After spinning, however, he decided to accept the offer and assume a new role in the diocese. “I thought it was a good opportunity, since we are always complaining about women that they do not give us power in the church. I thought it could be good for all of us,” confesses. “In the end I threw myself into the pool and it was as if I touched the lottery.” It makes that more than 20 years, a period during which it has gone through different places where assures having encountered the acceptance and “affection” of the parishioners. “I was the first and I am the only one with appointment (from the bishopric of Tui-Vigo). I have it since 2004. What happens is that this time it has been more evident because, for the first time, breaking glass roofs, the appointment was published on the Bishopric website,” he celebrates. Is it a unique case? No. The role of Almudena may not be common in southern Galicia, but if we expand the focus to the rest of Spain we verify that there are more lay people who exert the same function as her. Including women too. In 2018 The voice revealed Also that to the north of the community, in Outes, there was a group of neighbors who were responsible for ceremonies before the shortage of priests. “It is not the Mass of women, as they say, they are women who make the Sunday celebration for the entire community,” I clarified The parish priest. There are also examples in Burgos, Tarragona either Lionamong other points of The emptied Spain. “The priests in charge, generally, of a good number of rural parishes, cannot go every Sunday to celebrate the Eucharist in all of them, so they sometimes have a lay or religious who, on Sundays in which the pastor is absent, goes to direct ‘the celebration of the word’”, They explain from the archdiocese of Oviedo. The Catholic Church in fact offers Formations for laity. A … Read more

A YouTuber fed up that the mobiles were bored and theirs was built. The result is gloriously absurd

by

An American youtuber named Marcin Plaza, boring from the lack of innovation in the design of our mobile phones, wanted to prove to create one that adapted to their needs. He succeeded, of course, although the final result has raised some controversy because more than innovative what he has achieved is a “retroinnovator” mobile. What happened. This youtuber is known for its “Frankenstein” device experiments, and a few months ago he published a video in which he explained how he managed to replace the keyboard of his Lenovo Yoga laptop for a mechanical onecreating a unique combination. Now he has returned to the streets, but with a singular experiment: to take advantage of his Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 To create your own mobile. That physical keyboards live. Plaza decided that he would take advantage of the outer display of Z Flip 5 and combine it with the physical keyboard of an old Blackberry Q10 of 2013. The idea was simple to get that keyboard to become a sliding keyboard that is hidden under the screen of its Z Flip 5 broken. But of course, one thing was to say it, and another to do it. An infernal process. In the video in which the entire Plaza process begins, it begins by destroying the Z Flip 5 and checking which components could save. He then designed a housing to print it on a CNC machine – only numerous tests with a 3D printer – and also created a small circuit using an Arduino Pro micro controller that allowed him to adapt the old blackberry keyboard. Looking for solutions. The difficulties did not end there, and to allow the opening of all applications on the small front screen Plaza ended up using Samsung’s Good Lock application and its multistar module. This unique user even ended up adding a magnetic ring for wireless load. This mobile sounds to me. After numerous additional digital DIY tests and operations, Plaza managed to create what he expected: a “Frankenstein” mobile with a small frontal screen and a sliding keyboard underneath. The curious thing – or maybe not – is that this mobile had already been invented 15 years ago. It did the same company from which he took his keyboard, because we are talking about The BlackBerry Torch that first launched in 2010. A hardly replicable experiment. The creator of this curious mobile has shared Some of the project detailsbut it is difficult to replicate it because the only guide to do so is the video he has published on YouTube. Be that as it may, the final result is surprising – especially, because it works – but also paradoxical: the title of the video is “I built my own mobile … because at present innovation is sad”, but its mobile has little innovative. That doesn’t really matter too much: achieving something like that is certainly remarkable. In Xataka | Telephone cabins are disappearing from the world.

A laptop that follows me, revolves, goes up, down and dances is the last thing I expected to see in Ifa. Not only have I seen it, I’ve tried it

by

If something has each and every one of the portable of this world is that they do not move. It would be strange, I say paranormal research, that a laptop moved. We can tip the screen up or down, but if we move the screen it does not follow us. If we get up, the screen does not get up. If we sat, the screen does not turn down alone. But what if he did? What if our laptop could follow us, so that we moved where we move, the screen always looks towards us? That is the question that has been asked from Lenovo. The answer? A multidirectional intelligent support of the most curious. Inside the dock there is an engine that rotates the base and elevates and inclines the portable | Image: Xataka Lenovo Smart Motion Concept. This device, Iteration of the views last yearIt is not a laptop, but a support. One motorized and with the ability to put the laptop in virtually any position, follow us in real time and place the device always in the perfect position. It does, of course, integrating with the components of the computer so that everything works as a single device. What is this about? This support is connected to the laptop and integrates with the camera, microphones and speakers to, according to Lenovo, offer automatic facial tracking, voice control and Ergonomic health. This detects our face and follows us in real time rotating to the sides, climbing, going down and bowing up or down depending on our movement. In addition, the support detects gestures, such as a click of fingers or the movement of the hands, to do actions. Image | Xataka So that? The idea is simple. There are times that we need to have visibility of the computer being in motion. Let’s think about making a presentation to customers, for example, or being constantly framed. With this support, Lenovo gets precisely that. In addition, it is a device that fulfills a double function: not only moves the laptop, but can help us have the screen in the correct position and height at all times, which will obviously have an additional keyboard and mouse connected to the laptop. And in that sense … The Chinese firm has not neglected anything. The rotating support is, at the same time, a Dock of USB-A ports (two), Ethernet, HDMI, Displayport (two) and USB-C. The ports better than to miss. The support zone is also a dissipator to prevent the laptop from hot, something that can happen since the support increases the tdp of the laptop between five and ten watts. Below has a dissipator to avoid temperature increases | Image: Xataka At the base it has a good handful of connections to replace those that the laptop may not have | Image: Xataka Although this accessory has a character, say, professional, the truth is that it could make sense for those users who telework. I use a desktop with a monitor hung by an arm, which allows the monitor to always height and position. However, when I work with a laptop I always miss having the screen above. These types of accessories solve that problem that, in another context, would solve putting the laptop on a pile of books or an Ikea support. And how does it work? Quite well. At first I tried it with many people around, which made the camera go crazy and change the face that continued constantly. Later I had the opportunity to put the glove more calmly and the thing was very different. The support followed me without any problem if I moved to the sides, if it bent to me and even if I put on tiptoe. Image | Xataka The internal support of the support is really fast on the Y axis, but something slow on the X axis. If we get out of the camera’s field of vision, the system stops. It does not seem to be able to anticipate the trajectory that we will follow, something that would be useful. This engine is also heard. It has that classic “ñiiii” mechanical when turning, which even more evidenced its conceptual nature. And what to dance? As if it were a stress test, the software has a dance mode that makes the support move in all directions. He will not win any award, but serves to check the robustness of the device. It is, speaking in silver, quite large and apparently heavy, it is not intended for us to take it there. The counterpart, of course, is that it shows resistant and capable of moving portable portables. It would be necessary to see how it behaves with a heavier devices. Image | Xataka On its launch. Lenovo has stressed that the Lenovo Smart Motion Concept is that, a concept. It is not expected to be launched in the short or medium term. Moreover, we may never see it or, if we see it, we see it as part of another product. However, the idea seems to me the most interesting not only for the professional world, but for teleworkors who use a laptop and, rather than wanting a support that follows their heads in meetings, helps them maintain a good cervical posture.

Lenovo Legion Go 2, characteristics, price and technical file

by

Lenovo wants to make it clear that he does not plan to be left behind. In the IFA has presented the Legion Go 2a device that inherits the DNA of The first generationbut with improvements that respond directly to the criticism and suggestions of the players. It is not just a successor, it is a message: the company has refined design, power and experience of use to compete from you to you in a market that already has very strong names. From Berlin we have been able to manipulate the new Legion Go, appreciate its ergonomics and observe its design closely. It is not time to draw conclusions or offer a first impression: here we will focus on the launch. The analysis will come when the console passes through our test bench, where we can evaluate it with the usual rigor and detail. Technical sheet of the new Lenovo Legion 2 Lenovo Legion Go 2 Size and weight Display: 206 x 136.7 x 22.95 mm PATALLA + Managers: 295.6 x 136.7 x 42.25 mm Drive screen – 920 grams Only controls – 210 grams SCREEN OLED of 8.8 inches Resolution 1920 X1200 Dring 144 Hz 97% DCI-P3 500 nits shine 10 -point multitactile Vesa Trueblack 1000 Certified PROCESSOR AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme 8 nuclei / 16 threads 15-30W CTDP GPU Integrated AMD Radeon 890m 16 cus RAM Up to 32 GB 8000 MHz LPDDR5X STORAGE Up to 2 TB M.2 2242 PCIE SSD (Gen 4) Expandable by microSD AUDIO Two upper speakers Double microphone Food and battery 74Whr battery 65 W adapter Wireless connectivity WIFI 6E Bluetootn 5.3 Physical connectivity 3.5 mm jack Two USB-C 4.0 SOFTWARE Windows 11 color Eclipse Black Prices From 999 euros A generation that polishes errors and reinforces its identity Trustrike commanders are one of the great changes in this second generation. Lenovo has opted to round the linessoften songs and offer a more natural ergonomics, thus responding to one of the criticism of the original model. The feeling in hand is more comfortable and allows long sessions without fatigue, according to the company. The FPS mode is maintained, turning the right command into a vertical mouse for shooting games. Joysticks with Hall effect and the pivotant D-Pad complete a proposal designed for precision and control, which is also retrocompatible. The screen is one of the most striking points of the Legion Go 2. Lenovo has opted for an 8.8 -inch OLED panel with Wuxga resolution and frequency of variable soda from 30 to 144 Hz, certified with HDR Trueblack 1000 to offer deep blacks and high contrast. The commitment to a panel of this level promises a fluid experience in both competitive titles and in narrative adventures. Lenovo has equipped the Legion Go 2 with a processor AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme Designed to offer sustained power in demanding games. Accompanied by Up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x memory At 8000 MHz and PCIE GEN4 storage of up to 2 TB, this set aims to move without problems AAA, independent and retro titles. In addition, it includes microSD slot compatible with additional up to 2 tb cards, allowing full game libraries. The manufacturer has also reinforced the autonomy of the console with a 74 WH battery, a 50% increase against the first generation. This increase is designed for those who spend hours away from home and need a team that holds intense game sessions without constant interruptions. This capacity jump is especially valued, which we will thoroughly evaluate in its analysis, but that aims to offer more game time without depending on a plug or being forced to play with the connected charger. The device maintains its commitment to versatility with console, tablet and portable modes, adapting to different scenarios of use. Lenovo has re -incorporated a rear foot, designed for those who want to play with the docked controls on a table. It also adds two USB4 portsone at the top and one in the lower one, which facilitate the use of docks and accessories without compromising ergonomics. To this is added a fingerprint reader in the ignition button, which speeds up access to the system and reinforces security. In the customization section, a new Legion Space arrives, which centralizes all games and system settings in a single interface, with quick options to change performance profiles or row controls. To this are added three programmable buttons that can be configured to execute concrete functions or shortcuts. Lenovo wants players to adjust the console in their own way, both in competitive games and in casual titles. Buttons are not missing. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6e and Bluetooth 5.3. It also incorporates stereo speakers and dual microphone. This set of specifications reflects a balance between power and functionality, designed for those who seek a complete portable console that does not sacrifice connectivity options or audio quality. The Legion Go 2 will be available as of September 2025, with an early price from 999 euros. The company thus points to the high range of portable gaming, reinforcing its commitment to a device that not only seeks power, but also a more complete use experience.

In the Tiktok era, our laptops are still horizontal. Lenovo’s idea: a rotating panel

by

There are countless vertical content that we see daily on horizontal screens. This text, without going any further. Also a Tiktok video They share us by WhatsApp, a short, an article, a book or a PDF. The programming too It is very grateful for a vertical screen. The problem is that if we use a laptop, we have no option. The screen is horizontal yes or yes, and it does not seem viable or makes a lot of sense to make a vertical laptop. Well, Lenovo has had an idea of ​​the most peculiar: a laptop with a screen that rotates. This is the Lenovo Thinkbook Vetiflex Concept in vertical mode | Image: Xataka Lenovo Thinkbook Veriflex Concept. That is the name that receives this peculiar device that the company has taught during its conference in IFA and that from Xataka we have had the opportunity to try. The device, at first glance, is a conventional laptop, but if we throw up the upper right corner we can pivot the 90 degree screen and put it vertically. The Windows interface, of course, adapts to the new format as it does on tablets. How it works. Between the rotating screen and the rear support there is a hinge. Unlike other devices, such as the roller laptop (which we have also been able to throw the glove) or the TV Samsung the serothe mechanism is manual. It does not turn automatically. To my surprise, the turn is very, very fluid and soft. Another thing is that it transmits rigidity, which does not do so. To turn the screen you have to pull this corner | Image: Xataka On the other hand, the hinge does not support several positions (for the cover photo I had to make some juggling). The screen can only be put in vertical or horizontal, not in intermediate positions. Something that, everything is said, has all the meaning of the world because why we would like to have an inclined panel 45 degrees. It shows that it is a concept. The hinge is perfectly exposed to the outside. It is not seen with the naked eye, but the mechanism can be seen if we look from above or on the lid when we pivot the screen. That is something that, if you want to launch it commercially, would have to change. It would be enough to accumulate some dust inside to cause a failure. For that same reason, folding mobiles have a kind of cap protecting the hinge. This is how the hinge area is seen from behind | Image: Xataka The thickness of the screen is similar to that of a conventional laptop | Image: Xataka Another aspect that seemed curious is that the screen cannot be pivoted with one hand. By pulling the upper right corner, we have, in turn, to hold the laptop chassis with the other hand so that it does not move. Surely here you have to make concessions in one or another address: or a resistant hinge that endures long -term or a lighter hinge that allows the operation with one hand. The idea is very cool. The Lenovo Thinkbook Vrtiflex Concept has a 14 -inch panel, weighs 1.39 kilos and I must recognize that it feels surprisingly natural. The feeling has been like the first time I opened a folding mobile (curiously, Motorola Razr It’s now … Six years, my God, how time passes). At first it is strange, but when you have done it a couple of times and you have lost the “fear of breaking”, it is natural. As much as changing any vertical to vertical tablet. Moreover, I find it more natural than folding a convertible, without going any further. Horizontal, the laptop passes through a normal and current laptop | Image: Xataka Personally, I can imagine using such a laptop. For productivity, I think the horizontal format serves me better, but if I am working on a topic and I have to read documentation, or it is good for me to have more text on the screen or, simply, the new chapter of One Piece has just left and I want to read it in conditions without changing the device, it sounds good to turn to turn the portable screen. Will you see the light one day? From Lenovo they have insisted that it is a concept and, as such, leaves several unknowns on the table. The first is its durability. From the firm they have not confirmed what expectations have in the hinge because, after all, it is a device fresh out of a laboratory. The second is if it will be launched at some point. Folded, again, it’s like any other laptop | Image: Xataka Lenovo invests 2,000 million dollars annually in R&D. Some of the products you develop never see the light. Others are prototypes or concepts that feel the bases, which are the seed, of products that are then launched. And I know well because I had in my hands the first folding portable concept quite a while before Light saw in the form of a final product. We do not know if we will see this implementation in a product at some point, but it must be said that it could make sense in certain cases of use. Be that as it may, I have no doubt that Lenovo has a job ahead, starting to hide the hinge better and remove such a delicate mechanism from dust and/or the inclement ones to which a laptop can be subjected when we carry it in the backpack.

I have tried the world’s first rolled laptop. Just get back to him to realize that it makes a lot of sense

by

Two years ago, Lenovo showed at the MWC a concept of roller laptop of the most curious: His screen expanded to convert a conventional laptop into one with vertical screen. We did not know if that device would see the light at some point, but as the folding laptops did, In the end he did. In the CES of this year, Lenovo confirmed that this rolled laptop was no longer a concept and became a commercial product. He was baptized as Lenovo Thinkbook plus gen 6 and today, finally, we have had the opportunity to try it first hand. Because? That is a question that is worth asking, why an enrolly laptop? The answer, luckily, is simple: having a laptop with a large screen is fine, but having a large screen with more vertical space is wonderful if we work with documents (text or spreadsheets), texts or code. The attempts to date had been shy, with laptops that left the 16: 9 format for Bet on the 3: 2. Lenovo has gone a step further. Rolled is a more or less conventional computer | Image: Xataka But unrolled is another story | Image: Xataka How is? At first glance it is a conventional portable device, only that the screen is somewhat more square than normal. When the panel is rolled, it is 14 inches and has a resolution 2,000 x 1,600 pixels, that is, 5: 4 format. By clicking a button (or gesture with the hand that does not finish going fine), the laptop is displayed up to 16.7 inches, the 2,000 x 2,350 resolution pixels and an 8: 9 format. Basically, a 50% larger screen. The third button starting on the right in the upper row is the one that goes down and uploads the screen | Image: Xataka The laptop takes about ten seconds to complete the up or down cycle. The screen, of course, is hidden under the keyboard and unwinds thanks to engines that, everything is said, are heard slightly. It is not an unpleasant sound or that will be distracted, much less, but it is there. However, I must say that the contact took place in a crowded room of people, so I had to approach a lot to notice the noise. Hypnotiza. The truth is that it is easy to get dumbfounded seeing how the screen goes up and down. I will not affirm or deny having been turned on by clicking the button every ten seconds like a child with a new toy. It is one of those technologies that attract attention and that suppose a breath of fresh air in a mature product category in which innovation usually goes inside. Even more in the AI ​​PCs era. Detail of the roller mechanism | Image: Xataka And how much does it endure? When the durability question, from Lenovo they explain that the roller mechanism endures 20,000 cycles. They are about 11 years at the rate of five daily cycles. In this case, however, it must also be taken into account that the screen is not only enroll and unwinds, but also folds when we close the laptop. Lenovo ensures that the panel will endure 30,000 opening and closing cycles. Anyway, in a contact as preliminary as this is not possible to confirm this. This is how the laptop is seen from behind when it is completely unrolled | Image: Xataka The wrinkle. One of the great evils of folding mobiles is the wrinkle of the fold. Although manufacturers make all kinds of juggling to avoid or reduce it, such as making a drop -shaped fold, the reality is that it remains visible and notable to touch. In the case of Lenovo laptop is exactly the same. The wrinkle shows and looks. Not only is it seen, but it causes flashes when looking at the screen from certain angles. In front, however, there seems to be no problem. In what angles, the wrinkle is more or less visible | Image: Xataka A system that feels robust. Although the device rises and that the part that rises is thinner the upper area, the device does not transmit a sensation of fragility. It does not give the feeling that we will leave if we put it vertically and incline it. Moreover, the thickness of the laptop, being superior to that of a conventional laptop, is not as high as one could imagine. Yes, it weighs more and is thicker, but neither as much if we take into account that inside hides an roller screen and a deployment mechanism. An interesting change. As someone who is writing and reads a lot, a lot, a lot throughout the day, this type of implementations are interesting. On a few occasions I am doing Zoom-Out to a PDF to read more content or juggling to be able to better read something than, on a vertical screen, I could read without problem. This device solves that problem of a stroke, although it does so at a price well above what any laptop costs. Image | Xataka This laptop supposes, or could assume, a paradigm shift, in the way we understand the laptops. Getting that extra space is a fantasy for those of us who use the computer for productivity (not so much to play, there does not make too much sense). However, accessing this device is not something available to everyone. The price issue. The Thinkbook Plus Gen 6 Cuesta 4,199 eurosa price that surely leaves it out of the reach of most mortals. Does it solve having to load or install a secondary monitor to have flexibility? It solves it, partially at least, but it does it at a very high cost.

Review with characteristics, price and specifications

by

The market continues to offer a very substantial improvement in the sector of the affordable tabletsthose whose price does not usually exceed 200 euros. They are models that are not designed for excessively ambitious tasks but they offer the best at the multimedia experience level and lately also in tasks where the pencil becomes prominent. The newly released Lenovo Ideapad Tab With 11 -inch screen is a model that, in its basic version, is already coming with an included PEN. There we already have a starting point to go beyond the usual in multimedia or leisure tablets. Lenovo Ideapad Tab technical record Lenovo Ideapad Tab Dimensions and weight 254.59 x 166.15 x 6.99 mm 480 grams SCREEN 11 -inch IPS 2,5K resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) 90 Hz Brillo: 500 nits Format 16:10 PROCESSOR Mediatek Dimensity 6300 RAM 4 and 8 GB according to version Internal storage 128/256 GB battery 7,400 mAh Fast charging 20W rear camera 8 MP F/2.0 Front camera 5 MP F/2.2 Operating system Android 15 with Lenovo Zui 17 connectivity WIFI 5 Bluetooth 5.2 GPS others 4x speakers Dolby Atmos price From 179 euros Lenovo Idea Tab-Tablet 11 “2.5k (MediaTak Dimensity 6300, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB UFS, 90 Hz, 4 speakers, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, Android 15) color gray-Includes tab pen pen * Some price may have changed from the last review Design, screen and sound: comfortable and with many multimedia possibilities Lenovo already has extensive experience in the tablets sector. In fact, its catalog is one of the broadest we can find. The Ideapad Tab family forms its starting point at the level of specifications and price and a perfect example is the 11 -inch model, somewhat more ambitious than basic models with somewhat lower diagonal. He Lenovo Ideapad Tab It offers the consumer a very careful design, with metallic finish and where we highlight its low weight (less than 500 grams) and thickness (less than 7 mm). Thanks to this, the Lenovo tablet is comfortable to handle and use with one hand, but we will need a case both to protect it and to serve as a stand. In the metal rear we have a band of different tone that visually indicates the area of ​​the camera module. As soon as he stands out of design and is well integrated. Inside we have a 8 MP secondary chamber of basic but sufficient results for such a tablet. To be an entrance range model, the Lenovo Ideapad Tab highlights especially for its little thickness and weight, which manages to make it very manageable and comfortable to use While the general finish and design of that ideapad Tab is much higher than we would expect in a range and entrance team, there are details that squeak us. The most obvious, which are actually for purely aesthetic issues, have to do with the situation of the USB-C port of load, which is not centered, or the placement of the 3.5 mm Jack port just in a corner. The consequences of a fairly reduced thickness in this range of equipment. The good level of the new Lenovo tablet remains on the screen. The panel of this Lenovo Ideapad Tab is an 11 -inch IPS with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, format 16:10 and brightness of 500 nits. Logically, the brightness is far from the reference models of the mid -range and the screen looks very well for the day to day. The contrast, 1,500: 1 or color coverage, 72% NTSC, are less prominent points. The tablet version we have analyzed does not include anti -reflex treatment on the panel. But there is a version that does integrate it and it would be advisable to opt for it. In both cases the frequency of screen soda is 90 Hz And the protection protection of the protective glass of the screen is very effective. The Lenovo Ideapad Tab screen is balanced, with size and resolution that helps us enjoy multimedia content as well as creating content with the help of the include tab pen Another difference with more price screens is in the frames. This Lenovo model presents some quite visible but symmetrical frames (Body-Papalla ratio of 85%). In the upper one there is a place for a 5 MP webcam that supports the Face identificationsomething key since we do not have a footprint reader. It is also an essential element for video calls, which are complemented by the microphone, in this unique case. While that mono microphone seems just for a multimedia tablet, no paste we can put the Sound system based on four speakers with Dolby Atmos. The sound is powerful enough to have it in front of us and enjoy without problems, balanced and with sufficient sensation of surround sound. You just have to take care not to cover excess the speakers of the speakers located in the side frames so as not to lose quality and sound power. Regarding connectivity, in addition to the USB-C 2.0 port, we have a microSD slot to expand the internal memory of the device, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS and Wi-Fi 5. In addition there is a pogo connector compatible with accessories created for this model, such as a keyboard, and magnetic surface within the upper frame for the placement of the Lenovo Conte and Pen Plus. In the version we have analyzed in Xataka, The simple tab pen came standard. Performance, software and autonomy: all in balance Lenovo bets on this ideapad Tab for the Dimensity 6300 processor of MediaTak, and an old acquaintance here. Its 8 cores are paired with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 GB. The internal memory can be 128 GB for both versions or 256 GB, only available for the model with 8 GB of RAM. In our test we have worked with the 8 GB model. Experience has resulted in general but we have noticed some other pull by moving through the interface, but only in a timely manner.

His promise to cook with less oil, faster and without sacrificing flavor has made more and more people consider incorporating them into their day to day. But among so many models, prices and characteristics, making a decision can be complicated. Therefore, the big question is clear: what is the best option? After several weeks, one of our favorite formats returns of the Xataka YouTube channel: The versus. In this series we face two face -to -face devices to analyze every detail and decide which one deserves the most. This time we put on the table two very popular air fryers: the Cosori Premium Chef Edition and the Cecotec Cecofry Full Inox Pro 5500. We have tested them thoroughly with the aim of finding the one that best suits the daily use and any kitchen. A mission: find the best fryer Ana Boria has spent several days cooking with the two fryers in her daily routine, trying Equal recipes in both devices and evaluating your performance in real conditions. To leave it in his initial words: “I have here the two best -selling air fryers of Amazon for years and I have decided to try them and face them face to see which of the two is the best purchase option,” he says. Design is the first point that marks differences. Our partner summarized it like this: “The first thing that caught my attention when taking them out of the box is that the Cecotec is much lighter than the Cosori and is not only because it is smaller, but because of construction materials, since it has worse quality plastics.” That initial feeling could anticipate part of the verdict, but let’s not be fooled, that there are surprises. The experience of use goes through the interface and cleaning, two key points when it is cooked daily. “The button is quite similar in bothwith the icons backlighted behind the touch plastic panel. The good thing about this type of botone is that we prevent the buttons from erasing over time, ”says our partner. What system will the usability and maintenance easier? The performance, on the other hand, is measured in speed and cooking uniformity, two key aspects when using a daily fryer. “During all these days with the two fryers I have tried to cook different dishes and there has been one thing that has caught my attention. The Cosori takes much less to cook,” Ana explains. The difference in time is especially noticeable in crispy recipes, but the question is which achieves the best balance between speed and results. During all these days with the two fryers I have tried to cook different dishes and there has been one thing that has caught my attention. The Cosori takes much less to cook. For many users, noise and consumption are decisive when choosing an appliance. In our tests we find Clear differences in the sound generated by each modeland to verify it we turn to precise measurements with a soundometer. These data reveal that, beyond cooking performance, there are practical aspects such as acoustic comfort that incline the balance. Not everything is power. The real price of a fryer is not measured only by the device: official accessories can make a difference. “For 57 euros we have a very complete fryer, with good power and good capacity,” says Ana about the Cecotec, while Cosori costs more even without extras. In this section, each brand plays its letters differently, and understanding that balance between value and cost helps to make a more accurate decision.
