Cube’s i7 Stylus is a Wacom-stylus powered Intel Core-M tablet
Wacom is perhaps the most well-known name when we’re talking touch panels; and it would be only natural for a Chinese brand to flaunt the affiliation with the brand, if it is the case.
Chinese tablet maker Cube today announced the Cube i7 Stylus tablet, which being very true to its name, comes with a stylus. The i7 Stylus also comes with an Intel Core-M series 5Y10c processor, and a healthy 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM.

APPLE WATCH REVIEW
Apple has done something rather special with the Apple Watch. No, it’s not the design, the tech, or even the choice of straps that makes it special. It’s that Apple has made the first piece of wearable tech that feels friendly and has a little bit of quirky character about it. Android Wear, the Pebble, and the many proprietary operating systems installed on other less well-known watches are workman-like and functional, but the Apple watch is fun. It’s not without its issues, but they’re not too bad, so far. The effort to learn the interface feels worth it to us.
APPLE MACBOOK (2015)
The Apple MacBook Pro update for 2015 brought a brand new design and form factor, along with a number of impressive space-saving and power efficiency upgrades. The slimmed down unibody chassis is all metal, so it weighs only two pounds and can take a beating. The new logic board is the smallest ever built by Apple, with a fanless Intel Core M processor and blazing fast SSD, leaving the rest of the internal space open for a redesigned touchpad and batteries.
APPLE CARPLAY REVIEW
The term “car stereo” doesn’t adequately describe what’s in the dash of most new cars. Over the past few years, what once was a simple music-making machine has transformed into a full-blown infotainment console with enough power to fly the Starship Enterprise. Today, even modest factory-installed units come with touchscreens and Bluetooth, but if you make the jump to an aftermarket deck, it can double as a backup camera monitor, a speakerphone, a navigational tool, or even a movie screen.
It’s absolutely worth enduring some growing pains to experience CarPlay.
APPLE IPHONE 6 REVIEW
After years of eschewing larger screen sizes, Apple has finally submitted to peer pressure and released two significantly larger iPhones. The iPhone 6 may be the more petite of the two, but it’s still significantly bigger than the 4-inch iPhone 5S. How will iPhone users who’ve never even touched a phablet in their lives react to the iPhone 6 and how does it compare to the competition?
Here’s what we think based on our first impressions of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. Please note that this is merely a first impressions piece, as we’ve only just gotten our hands on the new iPhone. We will update this post with a more in-depth review as soon as possible.
APPLE WATCH EDITION
We haven't had a chance to fully test this product yet, but we've assembled this helpful overview of relevant information on it.
The Apple Watch Edition is a smartwatch built to deliver an intelligent, app-based experience while adopting many of the classic design elements of traditional watches. The screen is full-color and is equipped with taptic technology that not only senses how hard you’re pressing the screen, but also silently notifies you with a light buzz when you have a notification. The device requires an iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus to operate, but in exchange you get access to voice controls and info via Siri, and a complex breakdown of your motion and heart rate throughout the day. The watch itself is made from 18-Karat rose or yellow gold, with a sapphire crystal front on the display.

BEST GOOGLE EASTER EGGS
Google doesn’t shy away from a joke, and always make an appearance on April Fool’s Day. If you know where to look you will discover treats the company has hidden around the web. They have left many throughout the years, but only a few have stuck around.
Google Search
Google has the answers to any question you could possibly have, but sometimes the search engine itself likes to have a little fun.
Askew: When you search for the word “askew” or “tilt,” your window will do just that.
Barrel roll: If you ask Google to “do a barrel roll” your screen will do a 365 degree turn.
Bacon number: Kevin Bacon has done so much work in Hollywood that any actor can be connected to him in five steps or less through their work. Going through all the work every actor has done can be tedious, which is why Google took care of it for you. When you type in a celebrity’s name followed by “bacon number” you will see how connected that person is to the Footloose star.
