LG G Pad 8.3 Android tablet
Decent battery life, an excellent display, and reasonable performance let down by overwhelming software
- Good battery life
- Excellent screen
- Competitive price
- LG's software is overwhelming
- Poorly positioned speakers
- Mediocre cameras
Bottom Line
The LG G Pad 8.3 Android tablet offers decent battery life, an excellent display, and reasonable performance for a competitive asking price. However, LG's software can be overwhelming and confusing if you're a first time user.
Price$ 399.00 (AUD)
The LG G Pad 8.3 marks the first time the company has released an Android tablet in Australia. It offers decent battery life, an excellent display, and reasonable performance for a competitive asking price, though LG's software can be overwhelming and confusing if you're a first time user.
Comfortable size, excellent screen
It strikes a nice balance between screen size and portability.
The LG G Pad 8.3 is comparable in size and weight to most of its competitors, particularly the iPad mini with Retina display. It weighs a relatively light 338g and measures 8.3mm thick, and the slightly smaller width compared to the iPad mini means it is comfortable to hold and use single-handedly. We feel it really strikes a nice balance between screen size and portability.
The G Pad 8.3 is constructed largely from plastic but LG has incorporated an aluminium panel on the back that gives it a two-tone look. Most of the front of the tablet is taken up by the display, so it's great to see minimal bezel on the sides, and the top and bottom of the screen.
Build quality feels surprisingly sturdy, despite the entry-level pricing. The matte, white plastic on the sides and the back feels durable, and there are no moving parts, rattles or creaks, even when you apply force or pressure to the tablet. One annoyance is the position of the rear, dual speakers. When using the tablet in portrait orientation they are both located over to one side of the device, and when using the device in landscape with the power and volume keys on top, it's too easy to muffle the speakers with your hand.
The glossy screen is very reflective.
Most other buttons and ports on the G Pad 8.3 are relatively well placed. There's a power/lock key and a volume rocker on the right side, a micro-USB port and microphone on the bottom, and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, and Infrared port on the top. The volume and lock keys do feel a little spongy and could have been raised more, but we like the small indent on the top of the volume rocker. This makes it easy to feel when pressing the buttons blindly.
The G Pad 8.3, as its name suggests, has an 8.3in IPS touchscreen. LG says the aspect ratio of 16:10 means the screen is better suited to movie playback and entertainment than many smaller tablets on the market. It does minimise the black bar effect you often see on the iPad mini, but the difference doesn't have a huge impact on usability.
The display has a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, which gives it a pixel density of 273ppi. That puts it on par with Google's latest Nexus 7, and well ahead of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. The G Pad can't quite mate the 2048x1536 resolution of Apple's new iPad mini, but its certainly no slouch. It displays crisp text, bright, accurate colours and performs relatively well in sunlight. The glossy screen is very reflective, however, especially indoors under fluorescent lighting.
Overwhelming LG software
The overall look and feel of the skin is cartoon-like.
The LG G Pad 8.3 runs the 4.2 Jelly Bean version of Google's Android operating system, but like the G2 smartphone, LG has skinned the interface with a number of its own features. The software adds some unique features but many of them are gimmicks that you won't use too often. Further, the overall look and feel of the skin is rather cartoon-like, though whether you agree really comes down to personal taste.
The most notable and useful feature of the G Pad 8.3 is QPair, which links the tablet to any Android smartphone via Bluetooth and an LG app. It allows users to receive call and message notifications on the G Pad 8.3, including the ability to reply to messages directly from the tablet. You can't answer the call on the tablet (only receive the notification), but the ability to reply to text messages on the device is something we suspect most users will find beneficial.
Q Pair also enables immediate activation of the wireless tethering feature, and has a feature called "recent app sticker" that displays a small notification of the last used app on the tablet when you switch to the phone, and vice versa. However, it doesn't open it to the exact location you were on the other device, so it's not something that's really useful.
The G Pad 8.3 borrows a feature called "knock on" from the G2. It allows users to unlock the screen when you double-tap it quickly, and locks it again when you double-tap the status bar or an empty area on the home or lock screens. It's a great feature that's let down by LG's poor implementation — it doesn't work every single time, frustratingly leaving you tapping on the screen.
Speaking of the notifications panel, it's a mess.
QSlide apps are also included, allowing users to watch a video, browse the Web, write a memo, dial a phone number, write a text message, see the calendar, use a calculator and more, while another application is open. They're of more use on a tablet than a smartphone given the larger screen size, but we still found it easier just to use the regular multitasking menu (holding down the home button) to switch between apps. Thankfully, you can completely remove the QSlide menu from the notifications panel if you wish.
Speaking of the notifications panel, it's a mess. Not only do the Q Slide apps take up way too much space, but the settings button for sound is easily confused with the regular settings button. LG's designers really need to put some more thought into the UI, especially if they want to target first time tablet users.
Other LG-exclusive features include QuickMemo, which lets you use your finger to write on screenshots, and a different take on multitasking called 'Slide Aside'. It allows you to "save" running apps by using a three fingered gesture to the left, but awkward gesture often results in accidentally bumping or tapping something you don't want to (try it in Gmail and you'll archive an email), and you can only save three apps at a time.
Thankfully, all that extra software doesn't affect performance. The G Pad 8.3's 1.7GHz, quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor and 2GB of RAM make is a snappy performer for most basic tasks, and we didn't experience any significant lag or slowdown during general use. Gaming was less impressive. The G Pad 8.3 handles most games with ease, though some newer, graphically intense titles like Dead Trigger 2 did experience some framerate issues on occasions.
Decent battery life, poor cameras
The G Pad 8.3 is a Wi-Fi only tablet.
The G Pad 8.3 comes with 16GB of internal memory but a microSD card slot obviously allows users to expand the on-board storage. The G Pad 8.3 is a Wi-Fi only tablet, so there's no 3G or 4G models available in Australia. This will disappoint some potential users, specifically those who might do lots of travelling and would appreciate the ability to always be connected.
The G Pad 8.3 has a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls. Like most tablet cameras, LG seems to have considered image and video capture an afterthought. Images suffer from a heavy amount of noise, particularly indoors, and lack the sharpness, colour reproduction and detail of even the most average smartphone camera, while videos through the front-facing camera are adequate, but not of a very good quality. There's nine camera photo modes in total, including panorama, continuous shot, time catch and night modes, but we doubt many people will use the camera very often.
We found the G Pad 8.3's 4600mAh battery about on part with the Nexus 7, and that's a very good result. It should easily last most users for two full days before requiring a recharge, though excessive users may have to reach for the charger every night. If you're using the G Pad 8.3 constantly it does tend to suck up a lot of battery power when the screen is on, though we found it was pretty efficient in sleep mode and shouldn't be an issue for most users.
The G Pad 8.3 is available now exclusively through JB Hi-Fi and will stay as a retail exclusive until early 2014. It's available in a single, white, 16GB model and sells for $399 outright.

Ever wanted a library just for comic books? ComiXology has you covered.
The digital comic book app launched their ComiXology Unlimited service recently, and instead of paying cover price per issue, you can now check out a plethora of series for a low monthly fee. It's a great way to dive into those comics you've always wanted to check out, or test the waters for series that just look and sound cool.
Unlimited boasts a healthy selection of first issues and trades to get you started — just enough to give you an idea if a series is worth continuing (using the ComiXology app or via your local comic shop). The selection doesn't stop at comic books, either: they offer manga titles as well! While you wont be able to access any DC or Marvel issues using this new service, it's great for all those independent and small press publishers to get their work out there. Valiant, Image, Oni Press, Kodansha Comics, and more have approved their works to be included in the monthly subscription service.
You can borrow up to 50 titles for an unlimited amount of time. Once you finish a book, you remove it from your device and "return it" so you can check out another title and continue. It's like a having a library card (for a small monthly fee) for digital comics.
The mega-popular Brian K Vaughan hit Saga is one of the titles currently available on the service. The tale of star-crossed lovers and their daughter, who are hunted across the universe by the warring factions from their home planets, is one of the best series to come out in recent years. A few other great books to check out include Kieron Gillen's The Wicked + the Divine, Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick, and Valiant Comic's X-O Manowar by Robert Venditti. Those should get you off to a great start.
The app works on Android, iOS, and Amazon's Fire tablet, and it's only $5.99 a month. At just under $72 per year, that's less than some people spend on their pull list. ComiXology is offering a free 30-day trial to give readers a chance to see if the service is right for them.
It's great to see new options to get comics into more hands. There are so many great books out there, but knowing where to start and what you're going to enjoy can be a shot in the dark and a dent in the wallet. With unlimited subscription services like this, it gives readers a chance to check out a series before they want to commit to it. A good rule of thumb is to give any title four issues, and if it doesn't have you hooked by then, then it's time to move on. Luckily, with hundreds of series to choose from, it wont be long until you find something that strikes gold with you.

For absolute beginner.
Blockchains are incredibly popular nowadays. But, what is a blockchain, how do they work, what problems do they solve and how can they be used?

What is Blockchain?
Like the name indicates, a blockchain is a chain of blocks that contains information. This technique was originally introduce in 1991 by a group of researchers and was originally intended to timestamp digital documents so that it's not possible to backdate them or to tamper with them. Almost like a notary. However it went by mostly unused until it was adapted by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 to create the digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
A blockchain is a distributed ledger that is completely open to anyone. They have an interesting property; once some data has been recorded inside the blockchain, it becomes very difficult to change it.

How does Blockchain works?
So how does that work well let's take a closer look at each components. Each block contains some data 'the hash' of the block and the hash of the previous block. The data that is stored inside a block depends on the type of blockchain. The Bitcoin blockchain for example stores the details about a transaction in here, such as the sender receiver and the amount of coins. A block also has a hash. You can compare a hash to a fingerprint. It identifies a block and all of its contents and it's always unique just as a fingerprint. Once a block is created its hash is being calculated. Changing something inside the block will cause the hash to change. So in other words hashes are very useful when you want to detect changes to blocks. If the fingerprint of a block changes, it no longer is the same block. The third element inside each block is the hash of the previous block. This effectively creates a chain of blocks. And it's this technique that makes a blockchain so secure. Let's take an example:

We have a chain of three blocks. As you can see each block has hash and the hash of the previous block. So block number three points to block number two and number two points to number one. Now the first block is a bit special it cannot point to previous blocks because it's the first one. We call this block the Genesis block. Now let's say that you tamper with the second block; this causes the hash of the block to change as well. In turn that will make block three and all following blocks invalid because they no longer store a valid hash of the previous block. So changing a single block will make all following blocks invalid. But using hashes is not enough to prevent tampering. Computers these days are very fast and can calculate hundreds of thousands of hashes per second. You could effectively tamper with a block and recalculate all the hashes of other blocks to make your blockchain valid again.

Proof-of-work in Blockchain.
So defend the blockhain, there is a technique called 'proof-of-work'. It is a mechanism, that helps by slowing down the process of creating additional blocks. In bitcoin, the process of complete calculation to adding up the created bock to the chain takes up to 11 minutes. Due to proof-of-work mechanism technique it makes it harder every time additional block is created. It also secure the existing blocks from tampering; because if it is tampered then all the hashes of other blocks need to be calculated again and reconstruct the chain, it make the other hashes secure and create a virtual vault. Decentralization is another method of securing blockchain, it's my favorite. It doesn't allow the blockchain to be controlled by a centralized entity. Instead it uses peer-to-peer network and everyone is allowed to join. Whenever a entity is added, then that entity is provided with full copy of the blockchain. That distribute the control and information over large number of entity. Then nodes can be used to check that everything is in order.

Creating new block in Blockchain.
When a new block is created, that block is sent to the network, visible to every users. Each nodes are
used to identify the the block and check if that has been tampered with. If nodes verify everything is ok, then a new block is registered to the blockchain. Consensus is also created, which also helps to verify which block is valid and which is not. Other nodes will reject the block if they identify it as tampered block. If a blockchain is to tampered then, all blocks need to be tampered, redo proof-of-work of all the existing blocks and take control of more than 50% of the peer-to-peer network. only then tampered block is accepted in the network. Practically speaking, this is almost impossible to do; specially with large networks with decentralized control. That's make the blockchain fully secure.

Evolution of Blockchain.
After the introduction to cryptocurrency, extensive research has been done in the blockchain technology. New developments such as coin-wallets, smart contracts, etc. have been done, which expand the horizon of application of blockchain technology. For example, smart contract are blockchain based programs, which bring automation in the exchange of coins based on certain programming presets, depending on the fulfillment of the contract. Expert economist believe that it can bring revolution on how the current banking system works. Many people also believe that this technology can be used in many other different aspects of society, from operation of government to collecting taxes.
This was a basic introduction to different aspects of blockchain technology.

We will publish about blockchain usage in Different fields; i.e. Finance, Government services and communication in another article. If you have any query or feedback feel free to contact us through our contact us page.

Six best ideas of Eastern Philosophy

The ultimate goal of eastern philosophy is somewhat similar to the western philosophy. That of making us wiser, less agitated, more thoughtful and ready to appreciate our lives. The way of Eastern Philosophy is different.
In the east, philosophy has always been taught differently; drinking tea ceremonies, walks in bamboo forests or contemplation of rivers. Eastern philosophy has always been subtle but also complicated. It is popular for its various theologies. Primary Method of teaching which include sutras, stories and scriptures are itself fascinating.

We have extracted six salient points/ideas of Eastern philosophy in short paragraphs.

1.Kintsugi
Since the sixteenth century, Zen Buddhist philosophy in Japan has a unique view towards the things that have been repaired. The compound word Kintsugi is derived from two words: 'Kin'which means golden and 'tsugi' means joinery. In this philosophy, it says that broken pieces of pot should never be thrown away, instead it should be glued together in a way that shows the broken line in golden color; the color gold is made from lacquer inflected with gold powder. It should be made in a way that the damage is not disguised rather the gold line should render the broke lines, the golden crack should emphasize the beauty and strength of repaired pot. The crack is meant to emphasize that breaks have a rich characteristics of their own. That repair represent every human being, in a way we all are broken in some point of our lives. No-one should feel shameful if they are broken inside, everyone need repair and mental healing. The pot is the symbol of that hope, we can still be beautiful inside despite our flaws at some point of our lives.

2.Life is Suffering
In our previous article we wrote about Buddha's philosophy and noble truth he taught us all; one primary noble truth is that our life has unimaginable amount of misery and suffering. Buddha suggest us to adjust our expectations so that we are prepared and understand what to expect in life. The pleasure from sex will fade away, our partner will disappoint us, we will grow old and weak, and wealth will not spare us from pain and disease. He said a wise person can completely grow this with ordinary existence inside their own house. They should understand that they are living in dunghill. When they accept this, they hope for far different path and that malice will help them against their vanquished hope. If they succeed in doing this they will never have sense of being let down, when they feel betrayed or something else. Buddha was always cheerful and always had a subtle warm smile on his face. He considered sudden happiness or cheerfulness as a bonus. A sudden gratifying moment in his vast premises. By keeping that dark backdrop always in the back of his head, his appreciation of small and minor things that were not working against it. Buddha teaches us the art of cheerfulness despair by a practical way.

3.Metta
 In the Indian language 'pali' metta means benevolence, tenderness or kindness. Metta is one of the most important part in Buddhism. This attitude can be fostered by doing simple meditation daily. This daily ritual is also known as 'metta bhavana'. First a individual should begin this ritual by carefully thinking about a particular person with whom the person gets irritated, or with whom the person feel cold or feels aggression. Second step is to recognize the impulsive reaction within self and silent it gently, then kindly rehearse the messages like."I hope you are in peace or I wish you don't have suffering or pain." The specialty of this practice is that you can expand this practice to pretty much everyone in the world; Buddha himself practiced this ritual. Therefore, our emotions are not fixed, these impulses can be easily manipulated with the right encouragement. Love and compassion is infinite within ourselves; we need to only learn to direct toward those people whom we dislike as to those whom we love.

4.Bamboo as Wisdom
As you all might know that East-Asia is also known as the bamboo civilization. Though bamboo is widely used in this civilization, it is not the reason why it is called so. The bamboo symbolism is widely used because of it's symbolic qualities have been in this civilization for hundred of years particularly in Daoism philosophy. Even though bamboo are tall and strong, they are classified as grass. Unlike other trees the bamboo is hollow inside, but that hollow nature gives it the strength. It is resilient and flexible; during extreme storms it can bend almost down to the ground without shattering. There is a phrase from Lao Tzu which says "Bamboo as bamboo already is." Zheng Xie was a Daoist poet, philosopher and artists during Qing Dynasty. He was consider greatest in bamboo painting. He painted more than eight hundred pictures of bamboo and saw them as a symbol of behavior of a wise person. He also wrote an elegant script which is very popular: 'Hold fast to the mountain, take root in a broken-up bluff, grows stronger after tribulations, and withstand the buffeting wind from all directions'.It was written as if it was said to bamboo, but it a message for all of us.

5.Wu Wei

In Daoism philosophy Wu Wei is considered major part of it. -Sage Lao Tzu described wu wei in sixth century BC in his writing Tao Te Ching. The meaning behind this is 'Not making an effort' or going with the flow; but it doesn't necessarily means laziness or sloth. It means surrendering the will on the basis of good recognition of need at time rather than reacting against the reality. Lao Tzu also said being wise is to recognize when to surrender to the universe and not go against it. This simple reasoning also help individuals to revalue our wishes during the conflict within reality, it helps to minimize the bitterness and anger towards the inevitable necessities. He also explain that as an individual we don't have the capability to change the reality and remove it completely but every individual is free to decide how the attitude is going to towards it. This reaches to the root of what we consider as freedom, that everything for our vision to attitude towards everything is within our reach. The acceptance or avoidance is mere choice.

6.GUANYIN
In East-Asian Buddhism there is a saintly female figure which is strongly associated with compassion, mercy and love. That figure is Guanyin. There are hundreds of temples and shrines dedicated to all over the China. There is a Hundred and eighty meters tall statue of her in Hainan province of china (it's the fourth largest statue anywhere in the world). It is considered that there is a need of childhood within us all. We need someone we can cry with. In the noble sense she is like a mother. Across China adults of all age come and allow themselves to be weak in her presence. That's a very basic and natural emotion of every living creature towards what we call creation. People usually cry in her gaze; for a moment people cry, looking for a chance to admit their sorrows, they break down but find kindness; that simple thing they all were looking for so long in the presence of sorrow. It is said that she doesn't judge. She understands you very well; she knows that you're tired. Tired from betrayal, things that are not in your control, she knows that you are fed up. This is a very desire every human have even adults, moving toward something is not a easy path, every hurdles weaken us all, but a simple kindness gives us strength, like every child in the presence of their mother.

Ophiocordyceps Sinesis, commonly known as caterpillar fungus or Yarsa Gumba / Yartsa Gunba depending on whom you ask. Some people also call it Himalayan Viagra.

Cordyceps is a medicinal mushroom that's native to the Tibetan Plateau and the surrounding Himalayan regions of India, Nepal and Bhutan. It's a parasitic fungus that's really unlike other mushrooms because it infects and completely takes over the brain and the central nervous system of living insects.

WHAT IS OPHIOCORDYCEPS SINESIS / CATTERPILALR FUNGUS?

There are many different species of cordyceps and each one targets a specific insect as a host organism. But the species of cordyceps that's been most widely used in traditional Eastern medicine systems is cordyceps sinensis, which parasitizes the larvae of ghost moths which is why it's known as the caterpillar fungus. It is called Yarsa-Gumba in Nepal and Tibet which literally translates as summer plant and winter insect. It preys upon larvae that are hibernating just below soil level and fungal mycelium takes control of the central nervous system of the larvae. Then it immediately repositions the body so that the head is actually facing towards the soil surface. This means that when the reproductive fruiting body of the mushroom is produced it can penetrate the soil and extend upwards into the air above releasing all of its spores that are going to be carried and dispersed very far and wide by Alpine winds.

It is amazing that the mushroom is taking over the consciousness of an invertebrate animal and controlling it in a way that ensures the maximum propagation of its own fungal genetic lineage.

WHY IS CATERPILLAR FUNGUS / OPHIO-CORDYCEPS SO VALUABLE?

Cordyceps is one of the most highly prized natural medicines on earth. And it's been used in the East for thousands of years. Up until very recent history, that was a privilege that was enjoyed exclusively by royalty and just the wealthiest members of society. In Tibetan medicine cordyceps of use for people with kidney and heart weakness as a respiratory tonic and to enhance fertility. In traditional Chinese medicine cordyceps is known for its ability to regenerate both the yin and yang aspects of our primordial aspect. That Jing represents our core vitality our youthfulness our general resilience and our ability to heal so if we have strong Jing, we're going to do all right, we're going to be more fertile and we're going to be able to produce much stronger offspring. So cordyceps has been traditionally used to help people recover from stress and over-exertion and to just increase fertility. Cordyceps is also regarded as a tonic for the subtle energies that travel throughout the vast Meridian system of the body and as a result that can improve digestion, it can strengthen immunity and it can increase lung capacity by dilating the bronchi and the alveoli in the lungs and consequently, it can enhance oxygen absorption and utilization on a cellular level because the air is very thin high altitude plateau, anything that grows up there must become very proficient at extracting oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere. This is an ability that cordyceps can share with us when we use it as a medicine which is really why it's well suited for people with respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis.

Cordyceps also has a strong reputation as a performance-enhancing herb. Firstly because of this effect that it has on the respiratory system and also because it can increase our physical and mental endurance and it enhances our ability to heal and repair.

HOW DID OPHIO-CORDYCEPS GOT POPULAR?

This is actually how knowledge of cordyceps first began to permeate the Western world because three female athletes broke five World Records in track events at the Beijing National Games in 1993. This attracted some suspicion at the time because all three of these athletes are on the same team, but they all tested negative for narcotics. When they were questioned, their coach explained that as part of their training regimen the team had been consuming daily doses of an herbal formula and the main ingredient in that formula was cordyceps. Further studies on cordyceps have shown that it increases the production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP, which is our cellular energy currency. Cordyceps is a naturally rich source of adenosine and because ATP synthesis is completely dependent on cellular respiration, the increased oxygen delivery from cordyceps is going to further support the production of ATP. It really just means that we're going to have access to more energy when we need it most.

OPHIO-CORDYCEPS USED AS A COGNITIVE ENHANCER OR NOOTROPIC.

Traditionally cordyceps was used as a way to enhance mental clarity and improve focus and concentration and of course the increased oxygen delivery is going to have a corresponding effect on brain function. This is really why it's used as a support for things like meditation or really any tasks that require your undivided attention for long periods of time.

OPHIO-CORDYCEPS AND IMMUNE SYSTEM.

Some of the more recent findings have shown that cordyceps actually modulates the immune system by enhancing the activity of macrophages and natural killer cells that also possesses unique polysaccharides that inhibit the number of different types of cancer including leukaemia. It protects against many pathogens including Lyme and it's a more effective antiviral medicine than the pharmaceutical drug Repoverin. It regulates blood sugar, inhibits cholesterol build-up within the cardiovascular system and because it's an adaptogen, it can dilate the blood vessels even when we're under a lot of stress. It's really helping us to cope and just avoid unnecessary fight-or-flight responses which in turn is going to protect the integrity of the adrenals and the central nervous system. It also possesses a number of biologically active compounds that have been studied extensively for their medicinal properties like cordycepin, cordycepic acid and of course adenosine. It possesses such a broad spectrum of potential health benefits, that has to be said when we isolate cordycepin it has proven to be generally less effective than consuming the whole fungus and you know the multitude of other compounds and nutrients that are in the whole fungus so, this really suggests that there is definitely some kind of synergistic activity between all the various constituents within cordyceps. Nature generally knows best and when we isolate something and we take it out of context it isn't always going to behave the same way. Popularity in cordyceps has literally exploded throughout the last few decades and it's now become the most expensive natural medicine on this planet.

WHY IS OPHIO-CORDYCEPS or CATERPILLAR FUNGUS SOEXPENSIVE AND RARE? AND WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR THIS?

It cost thousands of US dollars per kilo which is absolutely unbelievable. Cordyceps is now just completely unaffordable to almost everybody, because it's such a such a hefty price there's a lot of the illegal poaching going. It's reached a point now where, it's basically, endangered within its own native ecosystem. This is really why cultivating high-quality cordyceps is so important and fortunately it is now possible to grow cordyceps that mirrors are very similar chemical profile to the wild variety and it's presenting the same high potency and the same assortment of health benefits. It's at a fraction of the cost and it's not compromising the biodiversity of the Himalayas at all so, the wild species of cordyceps synesis has been cloned and it's been used in the industrial cultivation of cordyceps mycelium. Now currently it's not that easy to consistently yield fruiting bodies from this mycelium so another chemically very similar species called cordyceps militaris is used for fruiting body cultivation and this is really important because traditionally the whole fungus was used for medicine both for mycelium and the reproductive fruiting body.

Now although these two species are pharmacologically very similar, they're not really interchangeable because they do contain varying amounts of certain bioactive compounds. So, the potency does vary a bit between them; for example, they both exhibit different antioxidant activity, cordyceps synesis mycelium is better at inhibiting protein oxidation whereas the cordyceps militaris fruiting body has a stronger effect on inhibiting lipid oxidation. Cordyceps military also contains a higher percentage of the active compounds cordycepin and adenosine but cordyceps sinensis have shown to be more active in reducing elevated cholesterol.

So, both species and both parts of this mushroom share many of the same medicinal compounds and the respective health benefits that come with that but in different quantities and different potencies. So, it makes far more sense to follow the lead of indigenous medical traditions that have been working with cordyceps for so long and use the whole mushroom, mycelium and fruiting body combined. Since cultivation of cordyceps is the same logical way forwards we should be combining cordyceps militaris and corsets together for optimal benefit. Cordyceps sinensis mycelium when it's cultivated via liquid fermentation it yields the best quality product that is generally free from contaminants and it's high in potency. Cordyceps militaris is the fruiting body that can be grown either as a vegan product or it can be grown to mimic the way that a grows in the wild using insect larvae. So, this is what's going to produce a mushroom product containing B12 whereas the vegan method isn't going to have that.

 The good news is now that we can cultivate high-grade full-spectrum cordyceps, it's possible for us to harness the full benefit of it through completely sustainable and affordable means. That's really good news, this is a formidable ancient medicine that can offer genuine support to us in this highly demanding and highly stressful times that we're living in.

Buddha's teaching and Buddhist Philosophy. (Eastern Philosophy)

The ultimate goal of buddha's teaching is to help people attain the good life. He analysed source of suffering, which evolves around the nature of person, how we acquire knowledge about the world and our purpose in it.

Buddha as an individual also known as Gautama was the founder of Buddhism. According to Buddhist teaching, the title 'Buddha' means 'awakened' a person who discovers the path to nirvana, understand suffering and teach to others. It also says that there have been Buddhas in the past, and there will be more buddhas in the future. But there is no particularly clear source indicating if there were more buddhas as some of the writings suggest.

Early path of Buddha was all about confrontation to suffering. Buddha was born in sometime between 6th century and 4th century B.C. He was the son of the wealthy king of a kingdom situated in Nepal. During the birth of Buddha, there was a prophecy that either he will be a holy man and become a peaceful person or he will become the emperor, that will conquer India. Siddhartha's father wanted him to become a conqueror. He kept young Buddha in isolation completely cut-off from the outside world. Every luxury imaginable was made accessible to him.

Because of the prophecy, he was never allowed to go outside the palace. But after all those years, he left the palace for short time; completely unknown about the outside world, he was surprised. He saw a sick man then old man and a dying man. He was astounded to know that that is natural and every living man is going suffer that pain, even him. Despite every imaginable luxury, he only thought about suffering from that moment. He was inspired by a holy man who was seeking a spiritual life and wisdom. Inspired by him, Buddha left the palace for good. He tried to learn from other holy men. Once he almost starved to death avoiding all food and physical comforts.

After some time he realized that, doing this wouldn't bring him solace. He remembered his childhood in palace.He remembered when the grass was cut the insects and their eggs would die; he remembered as a child he felt deep compassion for the tiny insects.

After that he realized something, profound amount of peace inside him. After that, he decided not to starve, instead to eat and meditate. After that he also reached the highest state of enlightenment through meditation. The highest state which is called 'Nirvana'. Nirvana refers to blowing out every flame of desires within self. He realized that every suffering from dying insects to sick and aging humans it is unified by same feeling 'suffering'. He also taught various methods of approach towards suffering.

He suggested that a person shouldn't live with luxury and comfort. Instead he/she should be living with moderation; which he explained as a middle way. He said living in luxury wouldn't allow you to develop compassion and peace within you. Buddha describe these with version of four noble truths.

The first noble truth is about suffering and pain. If you remember this realization encouraged Buddha to start his journey. A lot of us feel it hard to accept this simple truth.

The second is about the cause of these sufferings. He said that our own internal desire and greed causes this suffering. He also said that root of all suffering is attachment.

The third truth is about managing our desires and thus sufferings too. He want us to know that our emotions can be managed and sufferings can be minimized. We have written about this in more detail in another article.

The Buddha thus made the remarkable claim that we must change our outlook not our circumstances. We are unhappy not because we don't have enough money love or status but because we're greedy vain and insecure. By reorienting our minds, we can grow to be content, with the correct behaviour and what we now term a mindful attitude we can also become better person. We can invert negative emotions and states of mind turning ignorance into wisdom, anger into compassion and greed into generosity.

 The fourth and final noble truth the Buddha uncovered is that we can learn to move beyond suffering through what he termed the Noble Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path involves a series of aspects of behaving right and wisely: right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right Livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.

The notion that wisdom is not a intellectual realization but a habit strikes the western observers. An individual must learn to regulate his/her impulses just like a musician practice his/her instrument. That realization is only one part of becoming a better individual.

Buddha introduced a lot of sutras and sermons. After his death, his followers gathered every possible sutras, saying or sermons into writings ans scriptures. That are still being used to guide followers in things like meditations, mindful living and ethical behaviors. The monastries grew and multiplied to many places throughout China and East Asia.

At that time surprisingly, Buddhism was uncommon in South Asia itself. There were few groups of yellow clad monks, who traveled around the countryside. Up until third century B.C no king officially adopted Buddhism, that was until Indian King Ashoka. Ashoka was a successful king who conquered almost entire India. He fought big wars, but grew troubled due to the devastating nature of war. He understood wars brought nothing but death and sorrow. Then he grew interest in Buddha's philosophy and became a follower. He converted into Buddhism. He was the person who sent monks all over Asia as far as they could reach. The practice grow and spread throughout the world. In early days follower's of Buddha divided into two main school. They are Mahayana Buddhism present mostly in China and north east Asia & Theravada Buddhism present mainly in Southeast Asia.

There are more than billion followers of Buddha both in East and West. People follow Buddhism, seeking compassionate state of mind and enlightenment. Regardless of our age, gender and spiritual identification Buddhist teachings are important. Similar to Buddha we all are born in the world not realizing how much suffering there is. We're unable to truly understand the misfortune of aging and death. We are to caught up in the day-day work, that are no more able to comprehend how valuable our life is; we are forgetting compassion and gentleness. Buddha's teaching in modern world remind us the importance of facing suffering and how to do our best to liberate us from the misfortune that our own desire and greed brings.

What is the scenario of buddhism in modern Nepal. What is the population of buddhist or follower of buddhism in Nepal. Buddhism in Nepal explained.

Buddhism is one of the major religion in Nepal. Even though demographically speaking buddhism is not the largest by population. I will explain it.

Religion In Nepal (according to 2011 census)

Hinduism - 81.3%

Buddhism - 9.0%

Islam - 4.4%

Kiratism - 3.0%

Christianity - 1.4%

Sikhism - 0.2%

Jainism - 0.6%

Other - 0.6%

Buddha in Hinduism mythology and religious text.
As you can see hinduism is largest in population. But the thing is in Nepal hinduism and buddhism is infused together. You can see a lot of hindu people worshipping with buddhist in temples like soyambhunath stupa. This is specially common in Kathmandu valley. The reason behind this is hindu mythology consider Lord Gautam Buddha as incarnation of Lord Vishnu; ninth incarnation to be exact. In some the religious text of hinduism, it is said that, Lord Vishnu incarnates as Buddha Avatar to teach and end animal slaughter and end evilness of humanity.

History of Buddhism in Nepal

Buddha was born in Nepal in Shakya Kingdom of Kapilvastu. His formal name was Siddhartha and was born in 623 B.C. In Nepal mostly Tibeto-Burman ethnic groups like Sherpas, Tamang and Bhotia people who live in northern part of Nepal, situated near Tibet follow buddhism. Buddhism in Nepal started its influence around the time of Ashoka through Indian and Tibetan missionaries. First adoption of this religion was done by Kirati, Licchivi, and Newari people; they embrased the teaching of Buddhas. Though in modern Nepal's mountainous and hilly area we can see shared deities as well as temples by both hindu and buddha. Unlike in other countries it is not odd to see people worshipping buddha along with hindu gods in temples of Nepal. In Nepalese Buddhism there are nine main religious text called "NAVAGRANTHA" which translates to nine dharma jewels. These text are listed below.

Lotus Sutra

Golden Light Sutra

Lalitavistara Sutra

Tathagathaguhya Sutra

Lankavatara Sutra

Samadhiraja Sutra

Ten Stages Sutra

Gandavyuha Sutra

Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra.

Different era of buddhism in Nepal.

PRE-LICHAVI BUDDHISM

Buddhism was first brought by emperor Ashoka. At that time he built a pillar where the buddha was born.

BUDDHISM DURING THE LICCHVI KINGDOM

This is the time period when the buddhism was flourished. Various arts and temples were built during this time period, which can still be seen today in various parts of Nepal, mostly in Kathmandu.

BUDDHISM DURING MALLA DYNASTY

Malla dynasty was the golden period of art. Various art forms like Paubha, Thangka were also developed during this time period.

BUDDHISM DURING THE RANA DYNASTY

During the autocratic Rana regime, several Theravada Buddhist were banished. Though other form of buddhism were flourishing during this time period some of the part of the culture faded away. But this was the time when the birthplace of lord Buddha was rediscovered, by the contribution of General Kadga Samsher Rana.

BUDDHISM DURING SHAH DYNASTY

This was the time period that revolutionized the Buddhism forever. Buddhism was developing in the country after the end of Rana Dynasty. That development ended up as a major religion anddifferent ethnic group started to reunite with single belief.

MODERN NEPAL

There is a significant place for buddhism in Nepal. Everyone in the country praise buddhism including hindus. There are three world famous buddhist schools in Nepal. They are: Tibetan Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism and Newar Buddhism. There are significant architectural sites which are certified and preserved as World Heritage Centre by UN. People from all over the world come to see the tradition and culture closely.

Skyquake (Twin Brother)
- "My twin and I share split spark. A metal but two halves of the same life force. Even across the galaxy I sensed when he emerged from stasis on this planet, and when his spark was no more..."
- ―Dreadwing about his brother Skyquake.
Skyquake and Dreadwing's were twin brothers due to the result of a split-spark. Dreadwing came to Earth in order to reunite with Skyquake, however when Dreadwing sensed and actually heard of his brother's demise by Megatron and shown by Soundwave, he vowed to avenge Skquake by destroying every single Autobot on Earth. When Dreadwing had learned that Starscream resurrected his brother using Dark Energon, Dreadwing was shocked as he yelled at the sky. As a result, Dreadwing became disillusioned with the Decepticons. His brother's death was the reason for Dreadwing aiding the Autobots by giving them the Forge of Solus Prime and attempted to kill Starscream. This proved that Dreadwing's loyalty to his late brother was stronger than his faith in the Decepticon cause as well as his loyalty to Megatron. This also shows that Dreadwing had a strong connection with his brother, even when they never interacted on screen.
- "Breakdown! Don't be a fool! Release me!"
- ―Dreadwing trying to stop Breakdown to no avail.
Dreadwing and Breakdown seemed to get along well. When Dreadwing was tasked to kill Starscream he brought Breakdown along. Breakdown had no complaints during their assigned task as they both tried to cover up around Airachnid. However, Airachnid knew as she goaded Breakdown into losing his temper to attack her, despite Dreadwing's efforts in calming Breakdown. When Airachnid turned the tables and killed Breakdown, Dreadwing was silent when he went back to the warship where Megatron was trying to explain that their inability to locate Breakdown's signal was unclear and was angry at Dreadwing for not recovering any remains of Breakdown.
Airachnid seemed to get along with Dreadwing until Dreadwing was tasked by Megatron to terminate her with Breakdown as his backup. Airachnid considered herself and Dreadwing to be Megatron's proficient warriors, which enraged Breakdown when she revealed that she was referring to herself and Dreadwing rather than Breakdown. This soon led to an angry Breakdown to chase Airachnid, that resulted in his own demise and Dreadwing being webbed to a tree by Airachnid.
Knock Out
Knock Out and Dreadwing are usually seen to hang out. In Patch, Dreadwing came to "assist" Knock Out, which he prevented Knock Out from separating Megatron from his mind and body through the cortical physic patch. After they both witnessed an flashback that Starscream had revived Skyquake as an undead Terrorcon zombie, Dreadwing remained paused and Knock Out called it "awkward". Knock Out seemed concerned when Dreadwing vanished from the room.
- "Lord Megatron. I live to serve."
- ― Dreadwing to Megatron.
Dreadwing was a high ranking Decepticon Seeker who was very loyal to Megatron. He was made Megatron's second in command when he disobeyed Megatron's orders in following him to a cave where Megatron fought Airachnid's insecticon. In Dreadwing's last moments where he chose avenging his brother by trying to kill Starscream, Megatron was forced to kill Dreadwing. Though Megatron was killed by Bumblebee, he avenged everyone who was killed by Megatron including Dreadwing.
- "Starscream. I regret to inform you that you will not live to spread your wings, ever again."
- ―Dreadwing threatening Starscream after learning the latter had desecrated his brother.
At first, it seemed like Dreadwing saw Starscream as a traitor and deserter. Dreadwing opted to take Starscream back to Megatron as his prisoner during Dreadwing's hunt for the Apex Armor. When Starscream acquired the Apex Armor, he took on Dreadwing and mocked him by stating he will reunite him with his fallen twin. When Dreadwing learned from the Cortical Psychic Patch that Starscream desecrated his brother, Dreadwing vowed revenge and was close to killing Starscream.
Optimus Prime (formerly)
- "Optimus Prime: Then I appeal to you again. Join us and help end this conflict once and for all.
Dreadwing: Betraying my kind...is not the same as accepting yours."
- ―Optimus offering Dreadwing a chance to join, to which Dreadwing did not desire.
Dreadwing wasn't very fond of Optimus, learning that it was him and an Autobot scout who killed his brother, he swore vengeance upon them. It would also seem that Dreadwing and Optimus worked well in their alliance in taking down Starscream who was in the Apex Armor. After learning from the Cortical Psychic Patch that Starscream dishonored his brother Skyquake's death by turning him into a Terrorcon, he had given the Autobots the Forge of Solus Prime in hopes it would avenge him. He seems to respect Optimus greatly as an adversary and Optimus, likewise, felt the same way. Optimus even offered Dreadwing chances to join the Autobots.
Bulkhead (formerly)
- "Bulkhead: Too bad you don't have the ball bearings to fight up close and personal!
Dreadwing: In this particular case I will be all too happy to make an exception.
- ―Bulkhead and Dreadwing.
Dreadwing captured Bulkhead in Loose Cannons. Dreadwing used Bulkhead as bait to lure Wheeljack and Optimus Prime. Bulkhead was strapped to a crate on a docks where Dreadwing also strapped one of his bombs on Bulkhead. Eventually, Dreadwing had to disarm the bomb on Bulkhead when Optimus trapped Dreadwing with a claw machine on the docks. In Hard Knocks, Bulkhead faced against Dreadwing again and mentioned how Dreadwing doesn't have the "ball bearings" to fight in person. Dreadwing accepted Bulkhead's offer to fight and they fought for a short time. However, when Dreadwing was ready to arm his bomb that he placed on Bulkhead during their fight, Bulkhead had placed the bomb on Dreadwing's back. Dreadwing took it off and threw it into the air. In Regeneration, Bulkhead went with Optimus, Arcee, Smokescreen and Bumblebee to see Dreadwing. Dreadwing gave them the Forge of Solus Prime but Bulkhead thought it could be rigged to blow up. Dreadwing told them about the Omega Keys and how he doesn't want to be in the Decepticons anymore. Optimus tried to recruit Dreadwing, but Dreadwing didn't take his offer. Bulkhead may have forgiven Dreadwing as he flew off.
Wheeljack (formerly)
- "Dreadwing: Wheeljack I know your at there. I have a proposition for you. Meet me at these coordinates if you have the spark."
- ― Dreadwing sending Wheeljack a message.
- "Wheeljack: I don't like unfinished business."
- ― Wheeljack to Dreadwing.
Wheeljack faced against Dreadwing in Loose Cannons. Wheeljack told the Autobots that he fought Dreadwing in an outer space and that Dreadwing killed Seaspray with one of his bombs. Later, Wheeljack faced against Dreadwing again in a little canyon where Bulkhead waited to ambush Dreadwing. This turned out to be a trap where Dreadwing had placed a bomb below Bulkhead's hiding place above the canyon. The bomb exploded and left Wheeljack in a pile of rocks while Dreadwing captured Bulkhead. Optimus Prime helped Wheeljack out of the rocks and they went to find Bulkhead. Eventually they found Bulkhead who was strapped to a crate on a docks with Dreadwing's bomb placed on his chest. In the end, Dreadwing was trapped by Optimus and was forced to disarm the bomb. Before escaping, Dreadwing detonated the other bombs he had placed on the docks and they exploded some crates. Despite not knowing that Dreadwing gave the Forge to the Autobots, Wheeljack may have forgiven Dreadwing.

The Best Laptops for Students of 2020
Our picks for the best laptops for college and high school students.
Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewed's editors. Purchases you make through our links may earn us a commission.
For high school, college and university students, owning a reliable laptop can make the difference between a passing grade and being doomed to repeat a course or, worse, an entire year of their studies. The dizzying array of laptop brands, designs, capabilities, and perhaps most importantly, price, can make it difficult to choose the right computer to complement a course of study. To take some of the stress out of your buying decisions, we've tested a wide range of Chromebooks, 2-n-1 convertible laptops, and more traditional models to find the very best laptops for students from each category.
Out top, affordable and capable pick for most people is the Asus Chromebook Flip C434TA-DSM4T (available at Amazon for $462.99). It's ideal for conducting online research, writing term papers and, at the end of the day, watching Netflix or engaging in some light gaming. Should our main pick not suit your needs, you'll find that this guide includes a number of other laptops that just might be what you're looking for.
These are the best laptops for students we tested ranked, in order:
- Asus Chromebook Flip C434TA-DSM4T
- HP Omen 15 (NVidia GTX 1070, Intel i7-8750H, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 2TB HDD)
- Acer Nitro 7 (AN715-51-752B)
- Dell G5 (2019, i5-9300H, 24GB RAM, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, GeForce 1650)
- Lenovo Yoga Chromebook C630 81JX0001UX
- Acer Chromebook Spin 13 CP713-1WN-53NF
- Google Pixel Slate (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB)
- Huawei Matebook X Pro (Intel i7, 16GB RAM)
- Lenovo X1 Carbon (Touchscreen, 6th Gen)
- Google Pixelbook (2017, Intel Core i7)
- Dell Inspiron 13 5000
- Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming
- Microsoft Surface Pro 4
With its zippy performance, vibrant display, and chic aesthetic, the Asus Chromebook Flip can really walk the walk. Its performance is good enough for everyday tasks like surfing the web and checking email, and its bezels are practically nonexistent (meaning you're getting a ton of screen space). But what we like best is the sophisticated design. With its aluminum finish and chrome trim, the C434T looks and feels like a premium product minus the premium price tag. It's one of the most elegant-looking Chromebooks we've seen in a while.
The only thing that tripped us up was the trackpad. It's not as responsive as a MacBook touchpad, and it took us some time to adjust to it. I wouldn't say it's a deal-breaker, per se, it's just something to be aware of.
Excellent battery life

How We Tested
The Tester
Hi, I'm Ashley Barry-Biancuzzo, the former laptop reviewer here at Reviewed and an editor of our Best Right Now buying guides. Though Reviewed has been testing laptops for a couple of years now, I seized control of this beat (cue evil laughter) in 2017. It was the perfect category for me because I've been playing around with laptops ever since I was a kid. I understand the value of protecting your laptop because of my experience with the delicate internal components.
The Tests
We first attempt to push each machine's processor to its brink. These tests help us determine the responsiveness of the laptop and whether it'll be able to handle streaming or running Google Chrome in the background with simultaneous gameplay. We then run a series of tests on the graphics card to figure out how fast graphics and images rendered on a particular machine, and whether your gameplay will run smoothly.
Once that's established, we run a battery test overnight. We unplug the laptop and set the display brightness to 200 nits and then we cycle through popular websites like Discord and Twitch until the battery dies. This is how we figure out how much action we can get on a single charge. The idea is to emulate everyday tasks.
Lastly, we consider the overall build quality like how sturdy the hinges feel and if there's any flex to the display. We also take into account how light the machine is—under five pounds is ideal—and how many ports it offers.
What You Should Know About Laptops For Students
What Type of Laptop Should I Get?
There's the traditional clamshell, which can only be opened 180-degrees. These laptops have been around for ages and are popular among college students. Then there's the 2-in-1 convertible, which can be folded or flipped. You can flip the screen around and use it as a tablet or prop it up like a painter's easel. This kind of laptop is great for the regular traveler, as they're really versatile and lightweight.
Does Display Size Matter?
A laptop with an 11-inch display is going to be much lighter than one with a 15- or 17-inch screen. So, if you need something that's light and portable, a larger display isn't going to cut it. That said, bigger displays have higher resolutions and that means a sharper picture. If you're a photo or video editor, you'll probably want a bigger screen so you can see all those minute details. If you just need a lightweight machine for research or writing papers on, an 11-inch display should do you just fine, especially if you're taking it from class-to-class.
Other Laptops For Students We Tested
The best thing about the HP Omen is its display. With its vibrant colors and thin bezels, you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. In fact, I'd say it's one of the best displays I've ever seen on a mid-range gaming laptop. When I watched the trailer for Detective Pikachu (don't judge me), Pikachu's yellow fur really popped against the dark backgrounds.
The edgy design is cool, too. With its jet black shell and crimson red accents, you've got just the right amount of flair. I wouldn't say it's a full-on departure from the traditional gaming aesthetic, but it's definitely got a more subtle design. As far as gaming laptops go, this design is clean and sophisticated and not as flashy.
As with most gaming laptops, the Omen is heavy and not very portable. You can bring it to a friend's dorm, sure, but lugging it from class-to-class might be a problem. It's the kind of laptop that'll probably stay parked on your desk. Another drawback is the placement of the speakers, which are underneath the machine. It's not a deal-breaker, per se, but the audio is a little muffled.
Note: We reviewed the high-end model. The base configuration costs a little over a grand and is available on Amazon.
Just because you're buying a gaming laptop on a strict budget doesn't mean you have to skimp on the features. The Acer Nitro 7 is an excellent example of how to save money and equip yourself with the kind of hardware that will play your favorite games and help you get things done.
The Nitro 7 has the latest Intel Core i7-9750H processor along with an Nvidia GTX 1650 graphics card and 16GB of RAM. Like its pricier competition, it also offers a 15.6-inch Full HD display with 144Hz refresh rate, which means games run pretty smooth. It even managed to maintain high frame rates in visually-demanding games like Metro 2033 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. It boasts impeccable battery life, too, with up to four hours of continuous use before it requires a charge.
Perhaps the only caveat of the Nitro 7 is the same issue that plagues other gaming laptops. The lack of physical buttons on the trackpad makes it hard to play some games without an additional mouse.
College kids and entry-level gamers alike might find the Dell G5 with a Core i5-9300H and Nvidia GTX 1650 suits their needs for both work and play. The Dell G5 is a nice machine for resting on your desk or joining you in class. It's comfortable to type on, can manage a little over five hours of battery life for productivity tasks, and offers a whopping 1TB of hard drive space for your data and games, in addition to a 256GB SSD for keeping Windows 10 operating smoothly.
If you're looking for speedy performance, look no further than the Lenovo Yoga Chromebook. Even with 22 tabs open in Google Chrome (I'm an agent of chaos), I experienced zero lag. It's a good machine for multitasking or watching live Twitch streams. The 4K display is fantastic, too. When I watched the trailer for Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, the orange sand dunes of Jakku really popped off of the screen.
Unfortunately, when we ran our primary battery test, which cycles through popular websites on a continuous loop (the idea is to simulate everyday use), the Yoga died in about six hours. That's a little less than your average workday. Though it's not the worst result we've ever seen, it's unimpressive for a Chromebook. The mediocre battery life may have something to do with the Yoga's 4K display, as I imagine it's a huge power-suck.
The Chromebook Spin 13 is a great option for the college student, as it's budget-friendly and has a wide selection of ports (which eliminates the need for an adapter). We also like that the stylus is included and that you can store it inside a little compartment in the laptop's shell. What surprised us most about this laptop was its tall display, as I expected it to be awkward to handle. Fortunately, the hinges are tight and strong so the screen didn't wobble at all.
Though we adore this laptop, there are some trade-offs. When we put the Spin through our battery test, which cycles through websites like Twitch and Amazon, it died in about five hours. Additionally, the laptop itself feels pretty bulky. Weighing a little over three pounds. That said, it's definitely durable. There's hardly any flex to the display and the keyboard didn't creak when I pushed down on it with both hands.
If you're always-on-the-go, the Pixel Slate is a good option. Weighing a little over a pound, the Slate is super lightweight. Its gorgeous display is great for Netflix binges, while its powerful internals makes it easy to work on multiple projects at once. You can also use it as a tablet or prop it up like an easel with the Pixelbook Keyboard.
The only downside is its high price tag. Its least expensive configuration cost about a grand, so it might not be a good fit for someone on a tight budget. In addition to its costly starting price, you have to pay extra for the Pixelbook Keyboard and Pixelbook Pen, as they're considered standalone accessories.
If you're looking for zippy performance, look no further. Not only does the MateBook X Pro deliver fast performance, it's durable and the top-tier model ($1,499.99) is aggressively priced. However, what we like best about it is the high-res display.
Between the vibrant colors and the barely-there bezels, the MateBook X Pro is awesome for photo editing or streaming video. The screen is also coated in Corning Gorilla Glass, which helps repel fingerprints. The only thing you have to watch out for is the glare.
But while we like the responsive touchpad and long battery life, we still had a few minor nitpicks. The underside gets pretty warm when running heavy processing tasks. The webcam placement is also weird and the shell attracts fingerprints.
That said, if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the MacBook Pro, you can't get much better than this.
Known for their no-nonsense designs and amazing keyboards, the ThinkPad line is great for business students or anyone looking for a super reliable laptop.
This is going to sound bizarre but the X1 Carbon (2018) is one of the most huggable laptops around. The carbon fiber material just feels fantastic. Not only that, battery life is excellent and the keyboard is an absolute dream to type on and of course, it comes sporting a USB C port. That said, there were still trade-offs.
The touch screen is finicky and the starting price is a bit high. If you're looking for a similarly powerful machine for less money, we'd opt for the Dell XPS 13 (2018). But if you're working with a flexible budget and want a well-built machine, the Carbon is the way to go.
With its snappy processor, lightweight frame, and responsive touchscreen, the Google Pixelbook is about as futuristic as Chromebooks get. But while we love the clicky keyboard, long battery life, and convertible design, it's not a perfect product.
The pen isn't included, so you'll need to pay extra in addition to the cost of the laptop. Did I mention it's really expensive for a Chromebook, too? The base configuration alone is about $999. The lid is also a smudge magnet. Drawbacks aside, if you want the best of the best, you can't get much better than this.
If you want the power and portability of a high-end laptop but want to keep the cost down, the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 is the way to go. Reasonably equipped models start right around $529, with fast processors and just enough storage and memory for handling schoolwork.
We recommend upgrading to a model with at least 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD , which will set you back around $700 . Though the plasticky body won't turn heads, it's lightweight, portable, and the 2-in-1 screen is perfect for watching Netflix.
Best of all, it's easy and fast to get your laptop fixed if it breaks (we're big fans of Dell's service and support). And if you're the techy type, Dell offers a service manual that shows you how to personally replace nearly every component on the laptop—ensuring it'll work great for years to come.
If you want serious graphics power for a low price, the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming is the best budget gaming laptop around. The base model comes with 8GB RAM, an Intel Core i5-7300HQ quad-core processor, and has a starting price of $749 . That's enough juice to handle mainstream titles like Overwatch on medium settings and older games on high or ultra settings.
The thing about this laptop is that it's ginormous, weighing almost six pounds. Unless you're teeming with superhuman strength, I doubt you'll want to lug this thing back and forth to class every day. It's probably the kind of laptop that lives on your dorm room desk rather than something you take all your notes on, but it's still a pretty good deal if you want a gaming-capable machine.
Most "2-in-1" laptops have an attached keyboard that can flip behind the screen, resulting in something that's basically a big, bulky tablet. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is the opposite of that: it's a tablet first and foremost, with a detachable keyboard cover (sold separately) for when the included stylus and on-screen keyboard aren't enough.
Though typing on the keyboard cover takes some getting used to, the SP4 is perfect if you plan to write a lot of your notes on the screen or need something you can draw on. Its stylus is widely considered to be the best in class and the built-in kickstand gives you plenty of angles to work with.
The Surface Pro 4 comes in a wide variety of configurations, with entry-level models that can handle basic schoolwork starting at $799—not counting Microsoft.com's 10% student discount . More powerful options exist, but the thin design means those power-hungry machines won't last quite as long on a charge.

EFF to take National Assembly to court
Leader Julius Malema says for as long as Parliament doesn't take action against Zuma, it continues to violate the Constitution.
JOHANNESBURG – Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says his party will not allow Parliament to continue what they call 'violating the Constitution' by failing to take action against President Jacob Zuma regarding the Nkandla judgment, and have indicated they are taking the National Assembly to court.
The party held a briefing at its headquarters in Braamfontein on Tuesday.
Last year, the Constitutional Court found that Zuma had failed to uphold, respect and defend the Constitution by failing to comply with the Public Protector's remedial action on Nkandla, and that Parliament breached its Constitutional obligations in failing to hold him to account.
Malema says for as long as Parliament doesn't take action against Zuma, it continues to violate the Constitution.
"The man has violated the Constitution and Parliament did not do anything. In the same way he was violating the Constitution when he undermined the Public Protector, Parliament didn't do anything. Parliament was supposed to take him through an inquiry or through some impeachment process."
He says they want the Constitutional Court to order speaker Baleka Mbete to take action against Zuma because parliamentary democracy failed when African National Congress (ANC) Members of Parliament (MPs) voted against motions of no confidence against the president, despite the court ruling.
"They do that because they're partisan, they're irrational, they're not reasonable and they do not care. We want the court to compel Baleka to take disciplinary action."
He says he doesn't believe that by ordering the National Assembly to take action against Zuma, the judiciary will be interfering in the legislature.
