Ive

His trick is to follow the philosophy of Jony Ive

by

If you work in a more or less large company, you will surely have already suffered one of its endemic evils: meetings. Or rather, have many meetings. Steve Jobs I was clear that they were a huge problem and Larry Page had a hard time solving it because yes, excessive meetings are not something new by any means, although with teleworking they will skyrocket for obvious reasons. And for Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb, they are the symptom of a much worse problem within the company. The key to having fewer meetings: manage tasks, not people In fact, the co-founder of Airbnb is clear that this abundance of meetings is not an evil but a sign of aspects to improve within the corporation. To begin with, its size: “It is not because there are no Wednesday meetings. It is because there are too many people“, counted in a talk for Khosla Ventures. The manager’s proposal involves employing a small, high-level workforce: “We want a small, agile, elite and highly qualified team, not a team of mid-range people. And the reason is that each person implies a communication tax.” And he points out another problem that points directly to human resources: mediocre hiring. Basically, in Chesky’s ideology, when someone is not capable of doing a job, they hire people who do not know how to do it either and they also hire more people to carry it out in a kind of empire of incompetence. Each person pulls in a direction, so of course they have to meet to share their progress. And more bureaucracy. Also, lead by example: account which completely removed the layers of management so that only people truly specialized in a given task lead it: “You can only manage the function if you are an expert. You don’t manage people. You manage people through the work.” In a nutshell: you manage tasks, not people. His inspiration: the legendary Jony Ive, now working closely with Sam Altman in building a device with AI. Ive’s philosophy It involves focusing on work and forming a team that designs together.

Sam Altman spent 6,500 million to create a Gadget from AI next to Jony Ive. Now they face a problem

by

In September 2023, Sam Altman, CEO of Openai and Jony Ive, former chief chief in Apple, gathered to devise a revolutionary device they called “the iPhone of the AI”. They were serious because this year Openai bought the Startup of IVE for a whopping 6,500 million dollars. A halo of smoke Mystery has surrounded this collaboration since it was announced and now that new news arrives is because the project has problems, some more serious than others. The “problems.” They tell it in Financial Times. Openai wants to launch its mysterious Gadget Superventas next year. However, sources close to the company ensure that the project has encountered critical problems that could delay its arrival. The team is having difficulties when deciding the personality that the wizard will have, something crucial for a device designed to always be on. There are also doubts about whether to do it as the classic assistants that are only activated when we invoke them or allow it to act by yourself when you consider it useful. The big problem. Assuming that Altman is right and his gadget becomes a global success, the most serious problem they face is that OpenAi does not have the necessary computing power to operate its models on a massive use device, and that costs money (something that OpenAi is not left over precisely). In the case of Alexa or the Google, Amazon and Google assistant they have plenty of computing to make them work without depending on anyone else. OpenAi has chatgpt, The most popular chatbot in the worldand need to work with external investments. First it was his Alliance with Microsoftafter SoftBank’s investment, according to Nvidia And the newly announced according to AMD. If the gadget they want to launch ends up being massive as Altman wants, the numbers do not come out. The device. We do not know what you will call or what design will you have. The details that Altman and Ive gave in their day were quite lazyIn fact, they focused more on saying what it will not be than what will be. It will be similar to the mobile, but it will not be a mobile. Nor will it have a screen, but we will communicate with him through cameras, microphones and speakers. And they will not be glasses either. Nothing concrete, but for the moment it reminds a lot of Ai pin of Humane, that He failed loudly. OpenAi goes for hardware. OpenAI enters $ 1,000 million per monthbut the speed to which money burns is much higher than the one that enters it and would need to enter ten times more to be profitable. Even so, the company is already valued in half a billion dollars. Entry into the hardware business makes sense as a way of justifying its value. Beyond the doubts that arise around this mysterious device (They are many), Openai is very serious about creating a hardware division. When buying the IVE startup, they added 20 employees and later They hired several Apple experts and also of the finish team in charge of the target Quest and smart glasses. We will have to keep waiting to see if it ends up materializing in In Xataka | Data centers for AI are an energy hole. Jeff Bezos’s solution: Build them in space

I’ve been using Google Maps for years and I didn’t know this button. It is wonderful to follow routes on foot

by

Although There are more and more optionsGoogle Maps is still The queen of navigation apps. But even the most used app, there are functions that not everyone knowsI the first. Today we talk about an option that makes Google Maps is much more intuitive on foot routes. Google Maps on foot is not the same as by car It is obvious, but the simple fact that the car moves faster makes it very easier to know what direction we have to go. When we use the routes on foot, sometimes the pointer does not move until we walk a considerable distance and, If we have confused ourselves, we will have to return to where we have come. I confess that it has happened to me many times. In addition, although generally the compass indicates the direction without having to move, but that lifts our hand who has not had problems with this. Many times the compass does not work well and It is necessary to calibrate it. With this function the headaches are over. The augmented reality to rescue 13 tricks to get the most out of Google Maps If you are going to follow a route on foot, Live View is your best ally. It is a function that uses augmented reality and indicates why we must continue in a much more visual and intuitive way. To activate it you just have to click on The camera button which appears on the icons on the right side of the screen. When you activate Live View for the first time, a notice like the one you can see on these lines appears and you will also have to accept the camera permits. Then he will ask you to notice with the camera to your surroundings to be able to “scan” the buildings and, once completed, you will see an arrow superimposed on the image which tells you where you should keep walking. Live View is a veteran function on Google Maps (arrived in 2019) and is available in all areas where we have the option to use Google Street View. However, it is not a super known option and, at least, it has turned out Very useful especially being traveling In new cities.

I’ve been using Yi security cameras for years. It was delighted until the app became an advertising hell

by

More than five years ago I bought my first Security Chamber To monitor my cat when he got sick. It was YI brand and it worked great; He looked good, had movement alerts and could speak through the mic. With the passage of time I had more cats and I bought two more cameras of the same brand to cover the rest of the house. The problem is that The APP Yi Home has added advertising in its app. How much? All. It is not an exaggeration I was traveling recently and I entered Yi Home’s app to look through the cameras. I don’t lie if I say that More than once I have made me want to launch the mobile. On the main screen there are already a few ads spread there, but that is not the worst. Some of the ads that appear when I open the app or when I try to see one of the cameras. The worst are the Full screen ads. They cannot be skipped until they pass a few seconds, the button to close them is tiny and sometimes it does not work, causing it to end in the App Store, or wherever the announcement in question link. So every time I open the app. But the thing is not there, when entering each camera, advertisements also leave full screen. When you finally manage to see a camera, a banner comes out that covers the controls to be able to move it *Chef’s Kiss*. Few apps I remember that they have bombarded me both with advertising and Yi Home, although it is not the only one. A current example is Capcut, the Tiktok videos editing app. Every time I open the app, I get a full screen advertisement, but it is also that if you leave a moment and enter again, another appears. Not to mention that The entire app is a mines field with ‘Pro’ functions And they don’t stop insisting to join. Pay or suffer Yi Home has never been a super clean app. I already had some Banner type ads and has always shown me pop-ups to join the payment plan. The thing now has no name. In addition to full-screen advertising, those pop-ups continue to come out and remind me that, If I pay, advertising will disappear. On top with picn. The summum of despair. (The controls can be relocated, but was there no other place?) The cheapest payment plan if you have several cameras costs 79.99 euros a year. It seems expensive, but I think that although it would cost a tenth, I wouldn’t pay either. The thing about this app is A manual of how to lose customers. At least I know I am not the only user discontent, In Tustpilot is full of negative reviews on the same subject and in This Reddit thread There are also several angry users. In the same thread they also comment on several ways to eliminate ads such as installing previous versions of the app or configure a DNS with Ad-Block. In my case I take another way to eliminate ads. I change my chambers I had been wanting to buy a while Another 360 camera And obviously I was not going to buy another of the same brand with the problems I was having with advertising in the app. One of those days when I almost crashed my mobile, gave me to get into Amazon to see other cameras and make the decision. TP Link Tapo C210 After reading a few reviews and making sure that his app did not seem like an online casino, I opted for the Top-Link tapo. I found a Offer pack with two cameras 360 And I bought it. When I set them up, some notifications came out within the app to go to the Premium version, but I have been using it for a week and they have not reappeared. Come on, what was Yi Home’s app a long ago and that It should be normal in an app of a security camera.

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.

I’ve been paying Youtube Premium for years and I don’t regret it. The problem is that going back is impossible

by

I do not know since when I have Premium YouTube, but the first track in my mail is a cancellation notice of September 2018. Spoiler: At two months I went back to discharge. There is something uncomfortable for many people to admit that you pay for Youtube premium. It is like confessing that you have gone to a sophisticated blackmail. But here I am. I keep paying, and I don’t regret it. I took the step after an annoying epiphany: I was watching a long video and interrupted me for the fifth time with an ad. It was not just the discomfort, but The feeling of being manipulated by an algorithm that had calculated exactly how much I could torture me before he left the platform. Google knows that YouTube is a de facto monopoly and acts as such. Youtube premium changed how consumption content. Without interruptions, I can follow long documentaries without losing the thread. The platform was a library of knowledge again, not a sequence of advertising cuts. The creators who continue to charge more with my subscription than with ads. And as a gift comes YouTube Musickilling two birds of a shot: perfect to solve The Garminoblivious to Apple Music. The model is perverse but effective: degrade the free experience to make it annoying and then sell the solution. It works because YouTube has trained a whole generation to tolerate constant interruptions. We have normalized to cut our thought Every three minutes. But here comes the most insidious: Premium is an entrance drug to an interruption without interruptions. Once that experience tests, go back it becomes impossible. Google knows it. They have hooked not only to their content, but to their version of digital comfort. That accumulated time and constant interruptions are worth more than what the subscription costs. Each announcement avoided is time that I dedicate to something that really interests me. Pure self -defense in an economy that monetizes our attention. I’ve been paying for years and I will continue to do so. Not because the system seems fair to me, but because I have decided that my mental tranquility is worth more than my resistance. In the era of digital monopolies, this is the closest thing to freely choosing that we are going to get.

I’ve been sleeping badly for years, so I’ve tried “sleep headphones.” They haven’t been what I expected

by

I’ve been sleeping for years regulate. The classic culprits are discarded: I don’t take late or copiously, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t take caffeine, I do sports, No mobile abuse just before going to bed… Simply I find it hard to fall asleep and sometimes wake up at several times during the night. So I wanted to whose car more and more manufacturers are climbed. In my case I have tried the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20. Let’s see how. What they are and what they promise Sleep A20 are wireless headphones designed exclusively for sleep. The first thing for what they attract attention: they are dwarves. The second: They are very light. The third: its profile is very low, they do not stand out from the ear. The closed box. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. They also come with several silicone and “wings” tips to adjust it, something especially important in some vermin that we are going to take sleeping for hours. The important thing is that they are not just headphones: Its application includes several environmental sounds, sleep monitoring and specific functions for the night. They can work in two modes: Bluetooth mode to reproduce any sound from our mobile. Sleep mode with soured sounds in the headphones. The experiment The first night was adaptation. I had never slept with a headset in my life. In addition, I usually sleep sideways. It seemed unlikely that a headset did not bother me. Minipunto for these, because I immediately forgot that I was wearing them. The flat design and the soft, gummy, flexible material, made it barely noticed additional pressure. Zero problem. They stand out practically anything. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Then there was the issue of listening. Put to try, I let the application surprise me with its own proposals, which they call “brain waves with the” created specifically to help us fall asleep. We can choose whether listening to them only for a while, only until we stay asleep or all night. I tried the three: Only for a while: It gives what it promises. If we mark 45 minutes, at 45 minutes it will stop ringing. Only until we stay asleep: The same, detecting the moment we fall. All night: What a bad time. The sound made me wake up a couple of times, something disoriented by him. Perhaps it is a personal issue and there are people who have a reparative dream with the headphones sounding throughout the night. It is not my case and I advise to set the timer in a generous way to ensure that the shutdown will occur. The Yay and the Nay There are four elements that work really well here: Exceptional comfort. They have never been a nuisance. They are soft and with the low profile they are not noticed or sleeping sideways, as a soil alternate. Spectacular battery. 14 hours in sleep mode is something that I can never check for myself. After seven hours of night use, when they woke up they still had about the remaining 50%. Passive noise block. Without active cancellation, but with the right tips they isolate surprisingly well. Reasonable, at least. Useful sleep monitoring. The application records sleep phases, number of turns in bed and preferred position. There is enough correlation with what it says My garmin on duration and phases. And then there are four other elements where they fail. Mediocre audio. That nobody expects audiophile quality. Nor is it the vocation of these headphones. The sound is functional, music lacks depth and warmth. Very limited pre -recorded sounds. There is some variety, but many sound compressed and artificial. The most effective are the noise of color (white, brown, pink). Application Faluta. He tells me that I slept 16 hours when the reality is that at seven hours I took them off and left them on the bedside table. I should understand that absolute immobility for nine hours cannot be equivalent to very deep sleep. In addition, it is not very intuitive when applying one way or another. Problematic tactile controls. In the dark it is easy to activate some function. About the application Falutathere is an example. I have not sleeping 11 hours possibly from the day before my birth. That lack of logic in detection is a negative point. Yes, you can see how much I move during the night: my wife says that 16 turns seems like a fairly reasonable figure. The data collected by the application. Image: Mockuuups Studio, Xataka. Also Atina that I am only able to sleep aside, and I have quantified what I already imagined: I usually sleep more towards the side of the edge. The final verdict The big question with these headphones is whether they really help sleep better. The answer, in my experience, is not. I did not notice differences between the nights with them sounding before sleeping and the nights without them. I thought That the scientific approach of pre -registered sounds would better induce sleep, but it has not been so. My Garmin data, with me every night, indicate very similar patterns with them and without them. And something worse when I tried to wear them playing all night, as I said before. At 150 euros are not cheap, but Yes I see them a clear target audience: the people who need to fall asleep listening to something. For that, I don’t think there are much better options for the low profile and night comfort. And without disturbing the bed couple, if there is. There I see an obvious sense. But for those who do not sleep wonderfully and look for allies of any kind to fall asleep, and not to simply hurry a podcast of True Crime Until we fall round, at least in my experience, these headphones do not miracles.

I’ve been covering the Prime Day for three years and these are the six chollos that I would not miss in 2025

by

A little over three years ago I started working in Webedia in the E-Commerce team and since then I have seen many (many) offers. I have covered all the campaigns that have been arriving since then, from the Black Friday to the Prime Day, and that gives you a good perspective of how to value a good price and if it really deserves. I have almost always taken these campaigns to buy something and In this new prime day 2025 I am clear what would buy. In this article I will tell you what my purchases would be and what else is interested in each of the products. Xiaomi 14t Pro by 399.99 eurosone of the mobiles with the best value for money of Xiaomi. Kindle Paperwhite by 154.99 eurosa very complete ereader that has fallen again price. Soundcore Space Q45 by 89.99 eurosBluetooth headphones with a spectacular value for money. Fire TV Stick 4K by 35.99 eurosa very tight price for such a useful device. iPad (2025) by 349 eurosone of Apple’s cheaper tablet that has dropped even more price. Philips Oneblade Pro by 74.99 eurosa kit of the machin to trim beard and body whose most interesting point lies in its blades. Xiaomi 14t Pro Shortly after launching I bought the Xiaomi 14t For a price of approximately 480 euros and since then I have seen it lower a lot of price. But if they were going to buy a mobile right now, without a doubt I would not bet on him, but for him Xiaomi 14t Pro: is better and cheaper. He Xiaomi 14t Pro It is a mobile that was launched for a price of 799.99 euros, but now, during Prime Day, Cuesta 399.99 euros. At the design level, he does not differ practically at all to his younger brother: It’s pretty and very comfortable in hand. Inside … the thing changes, and obviously for good. The greatest claim is found in its photographic section, since The cameras are signed by Leica. But, in addition, an excellent processor also sets MEDATEK DIMENSITY 9300+ along with a screen that offers a 1.5K resolution and a brightness of up to 4,000 nits. It is also heard very well, since the speakers are compatible with Dolby Atmos. During the Prime Day we can find many supply mobiles, but the Xiaomi 14T Pro is, without a doubt, one of those who have better value for money. It is powerful, comfortable in hand and is able to take very good photographs. * Some price may have changed from the last review Kindle Paperwhite I usually read quite frequently, usually in digital format. I have a ereader that works perfectly, but its six -inch screen has been a bit small. And although I feel a greater predilection for the Kobo Libra ColorIt is a fairly expensive model. For anyone who wants to start in digital book readers or who simply want to have a good experience, my personal choice within the Amazon ecosystem would be the Kindle Paperwhitewhose price has dropped to 154.99 euros (From 199.99 euros). He Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition It is the latest generation of its line. There are notorious changes regarding its operation, since in this case We are faced with a more fluid systemsomething that shows especially when the pages pass. It also has a clean design with a good seven -inch screen, which allows you to read more text on a single page. Among the things that most attract me the attention of this model, in the first place is its battery that offers, according to Amazon, a Autonomy of up to 12 weeks. It also allows you to customize the source and the size of the letter, includes adjustable light and is resistant to water, something to take into account if we want to take it to the pool or the beach. Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32 GB) * Some price may have changed from the last review Soundcore Space Q45 A few years ago I bought the Soundcore Space Q45 And since then I have not changed them. I loved. I bought them when they had been in the market for a short time and cost me approximately 110 euros because they were on offer (their usual price is 149 euros). After this time, I have seen them even with much lower prices, as is the case of this new prime day where we can find them in Amazon by 89.99 euros. The Soundcore Space Q45 They are a bluetooth headphones of the Anker brand diadem. I already anticipated that I liked it so much that I have even thought about buying others only to take them on a trip. They are supercomodious and very lightthe construction is quite good and they are heard very well. The battery lasts more than 40 hours and offers a Active CANCELLATION OF LEAVING ADJUSTABLE NOISE which can also be configured on five levels through the brand. It allows to connect two devices (such as a mobile and a computer) simultaneously and can be alternated between active noise cancellation modes, transparency mode and normal mode. Today I still consider that the Soundcore Space Q45 They are one of the Bluetooth headphones with better value for money. If I were going to buy them right now, I would not hesitate and take advantage of the offer that Amazon has, since at this price (or a similar price) I have only found them at specific times, usually in the prime Day or Black Friday. * Some price may have changed from the last review Fire TV Stick 4K In Xataka we have spoken many times about Fire TV Stick Amazon, and it’s not for less. Although I personally do not have any model, I have bought two (Fire TV stick HD) to my parents and are delighted. Why does it appear in this list? Basically because It is a very versatile device that can be useful for many people. … Read more

I’ve been trying electric cars for years. I bought one of combustion for a single reason

by

We live complicated times to Choose car. Or, perhaps, we believe them more complicated than they really are. Yes, it is true that we can have doubts about What a course will take The automobile industry, what technology will be imposed, what not or, directly, What restrictions will raise Against my car in the coming years. But let’s look at this from a positive point of view: we have never had so much variety and so many technologies that will better adapt to our lifestyle and the trips we made on a day -to -day basis. This is what I try to explain to those who, knowing that I write about the automobile industry and try some of the most recent models, ask me what car they should buy. What should be the best option For them. To give them an answer I give a series of tips. The most important, although it seems nonsense, always leave it for the end. Choosing car Diesel (yes, diesel), gasoline, Microhíbrido, electric hybrid, plug -in hybrid, electric or gasoline bifuel and liquefied or compressed natural gas. It is also possible to buy a Electric of extended autonomyalthough the possibilities are very small. Or a car moved by hydrogen but, in this case, Recharge options are almost non -existent. Therefore, if we are in this situation and we want to buy a car, we have to think about several aspects that I summarize in the following steps: What type of car do we need (by size)? Here we must contemplate what we are looking for exactly. How much trunk do we need? Are we going to use the rear seats usually or do we travel as a couple? Are we a family that will grow, are we thinking about forming it or do we plan to have children? Do children already travel on their own and do not need such a big car? Personally, I recommend doing a Very rational reading of our situation. If we usually do not carry much luggage we should not prioritize the trunk. If we usually do not use the rear seats, their habitability should have a secondary weight in our decision. It is simply not to over -dimension our needs. Yes, if we are traveling with little luggage in our weekend getaways and, for example, one day a year we want to move a bicycle because we will have a problem or we will have to better square the luggage. That day, perhaps, we regret a little of the choice but this will be passenger because the rest of the year we will omit a quality for which we have probable we have paid a surcharge. If, on the contrary, we are fond of mountain bike and every weekend we load and download our bicycle, I will not only recommend that you buy a car that facilitates this task. I say more: Take the bicycle to the concessionaire And check for yourself if the bicycle enters the trunk and how simple or complicated it will be its load and download. What use are we going to give our car? I like to define the size of the car in the first place because, for almost all kinds of sizes there is the technology we are looking for. Largely because tAmaño and type of use go hand in. If we are looking for a car to move exclusively in the urban environment, to go and return from work and leave children at school, we are not interested in a car too large, because in this type of journey it will be much more uncomfortable to use. On the contrary, if we move regularly on the highway and highway and perform hundreds or thousands of kilometers every week, we will prioritize comfort and, most likely, the car is larger. In this case, I would prioritize the following aspects, from greater to less importance: Are we going to use this car as the only one in the house? What kind of displacement do we do in our day to day? Do we usually go on a trip? How many long getaways do we do a year? How many kilometers do we do a year? What technology do we choose? Once we have the adequate car size for our needs and we are clear about the type of use that we are going to do, it remains to choose which technology that interests us most. The money is decisive here and, if necessary, access to a plug to load an electric car or a plug -in hybrid. My recommendation is as follows: Diesel: Who performs many kilometers on the highway and highway and site the city little. I would not buy it if I did less than 20,000 kilometers a year. Gasoline: We want a car “for everything” at home. We move in the usual figures for a Middle driver And the use we give to the car is mixed between city and getaways on highways and highways. Microhíbridos: If the option exists, the microhíbrido is a good option to obtain the ECO LABEL AND ITS BENEFITS If we are looking for a gasoline car because the cost barely differs and we will not notice any change when driving. Hybrids: We also have the car as a “vehicle for everything” but most of the kilometers are made in city.
