Micromax launches Laptab in India, basically a tablet with keyboard attachment
This was the most logical step for a company like Micromax to head into. They have forayed into two in one categories of laptops. The company has launched Laptab, which is basically a tablet that can be put over a full QWERTY physical keyboard making it look like a laptop.
The concept is not new and has been tried out by many multi-national companies in the past. However, what the other companies could not provide and Micromax did is value for money. They nailed the pricing and have managed to keep the price under 15K (Rs 14,999 to be exact).
Micromax Laptab has a 10.1-inch WXGA IPS display on it that hides an Intel 1.83 GHz Atom CPU and 2GB DDR 3 RAM. The main USP of the device is its battery life. Micromax claims that this next gen tablet cum laptop can give users battery backup of 10 hours. That is far superior than most of the other machines in the category.
Microsoft Windows 8.1 makes an appearance on Micromax Laptab and users get the option to upgrade to Windows 10 for free (once it is released). Microsoft Office 365 also comes bundled in the package. On the other side, weight is on the higher side. With these machines one wants extreme portability. Micromax Laptab weighs 1.1 Kg, which is definitely bulky.
Commenting on the launch Mr. Vineet Taneja, CEO, Micromax Informatics Limited, said, “At Micromax, we have always believed in bringing the best in class and innovative devices to the consumers and have always aimed to bridge the gap between actual consumer device requirement and available device offering and hence, the Laptab promises to bridge the same at a very consumer friendly price point. Today’s launch marks our entry into the PC segment, where we intend to drive category growth and not only garner an available market share. We believe that our vision complements the initiatives for Digital India, and we will be launching a range of exciting products over the next few months in the category.”
Micromax Laptab also has 2 MP fixed focus front and rear cameras. To store and download files to, the company has also given it 32GB internal memory. For connectivity Micromax Laptab has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a SIM slot for 2G/3G data streaming. Laptab will start its sales in India by May 6 exclusively on Amazon.in. Overall, the device seems like decent buy, but will it be successful (unlike many others)? Only time will tell.

Microsoft launches Lumia 430 in India for Rs 5,299
Yesterday we saw an exciting session of Microsoft Build 2015 developers conference and today Microsoft launched a new phone, called Microsoft Lumia 430, in India for the masses. This is their cheapest mobile offering in the country and is available for a price of Rs 5,299.
The Microsoft Lumia 430 has dual SIM slots. These can house two 3G SIM cards. Right next to it users get a MicroSD card slot that can expand the 8GB on board memory by up to 128GB. With a cheap price tag such as this, the general feedback one would get is that this is a very basic phone hence the firepower inside it will be less. But, that is not the case. It has a 1.2 GHz Dual Core Snapdragon CPU and 1 GB RAM. The only thing that we feel could have been better is the camera. Microsoft Lumia 430 has a low powered 2 MP rear camera for pictures and videos.
This phone has the latest Windows 8.1 operating system with all the stock applications. Over that, popular applications such as Instagram, Whatsapp and Viber are also available. One can download more using the Microsoft app store. Moving on to one of the most important aspects of the phone, Microsoft Lumia 430 has a 4-inch WVGA display that supports 400 x 800 pixels. To stay alive the phone comes with a 1,500 mAh battery.
Consumers also get 500 MB of free data from Vodafone with every Microsoft Lumia 430 (for first two months). Users can also avail discounts worth Rs 1,500 from RedBus when they purchase this device. 30 GB of cloud storage is being given free with the Microsoft Lumia 430 on the Microsoft One Drive.

Microsoft Edge will replace Internet Explorer in Windows 10 devices [Microsoft Build 2015]
![Microsoft Edge will replace Internet Explorer in Windows 10 devices [Microsoft Build 2015]](https://www.gadgetbridge.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Microsoft-Edge.jpg "Microsoft Edge will replace Internet Explorer in Windows 10 devices [Microsoft Build 2015]")
Look who showed up for the big Microsoft Build developers conference. Microsoft has announced at Build 2015 that a new browser will replace Internet explorer from all Windows 10 devices. This new gen browser (originally called Spartan) is called Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft Edge is built using a new rendering engine called EdgeHTML. This browser is made for both, consuming content as well as building it. Microsoft has approached this browser in a new manner and much neater look has been given to it. Cortana support will come with the browser as well as distraction free reading.
Microsoft on its blog said, “With the new browser you can write directly on Web pages (and share them), read online articles free from distraction or use the offline reading feature for greater convenience,”
It is still unclear that will it come to older operating systems or not, but we do have a hunch it might show up on Windows 8 (at least) after a few months of Windows 10 launch.
Here take a look at the video of the new Microsoft Edge:

LG G4 gets launched in leather attire
While the world is ogling over iPhone 6 and Samsung Edge, LG has gone ahead and launched it’s flagship model G4, which is nothing short of a stunner. The phone has an arc type design that keeps the phone safe and offers 20% higher toughness if it gets dropped by the user. It also promotes hand comfort while talking and holding the LG G4 in the hand.
As far as performance is concerned, LG G4 is right up there with the big players. Inside it has a 1.8 GHz hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 CPU with 3GB RAM and an Adreno GPU.

The company has put a 5.5-inch IPS quantum display on the LG G4 that supports HD resolutions at 538 PPI. Corning Gorilla Glass 4 is also there adding to the toughness and protection bit.
The G4 sports a 16MP rear camera with dual LED flash and for selfie lovers an 8 MP front one. The device is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery and runs the latest Google Android Lolipop operating system. But, what really takes the cake is the genuine leather casing the phone comes with. We have seen leather textured plastic designs on some of the Samsung phones and few HTC cases.
