The ThinkPad 13 hits a 520:1 contrast ratio at maximum brightness. Again, that’s okay, but not great. The Zenbook hits 820:1, for example.

Developing a car is much more difficult and labor-intensive than designing a phone, and the platform is a hugely important and correspondingly expensive piece of the puzzle that has a direct effect on how the model handles and the type of technology that can be packed in it, among other things. It’s also a system that the average motorist never sees. Most people who buy a Volkswagen Atlas don’t know that the SUV is built on the MQB platform, for example. Mini owners won’t stay up at night thinking about the BMWs that their car shares an architecture with. … [Read more...] about Kia reportedly put in charge of developing Apple’s first car
