From foldable screens to touchpad displays, we've seen all sorts of crazy ways in which laptop makers are trying to stand out from the competition. Now HP has joined the crowd with the Omen X 2S, a gaming laptop that features a primary 15-inch display along with a secondary 6-inch screen that's built into the deck.
Claimed to be the world's first dual-screen gaming laptop, the Omen X 2S is designed to offer multitasking capabilities for various activities and a support with dedicated hotkeys.
The Omen X 2S' primary 15-inch display has a resolution of 1080p and a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother motion when gaming or watching videos. There is also an optional 4K display with a 240Hz refresh rate for dedicated gamers and e-sports players who need to react faster than their enemies.
The secondary 6-inch, 1080p acts a lot like the GamePad on a Nintendo Wii U, displaying additional information you couldn't fit on the primary screen. You can also use the mini-display to set macros and monitor system performance. Perhaps the best use for the display is to pin resources you'll frequently refer back to, like the world map in an RPG or your inventory in a battle royale.
The Omen X 2S is HP's flagship gaming laptop, and as such, packs some powerful mobile components, including up to a 9th Gen Intel Core i9 CPU, up to 32GB of RAM, up to a 1TB SSD, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics with 8GB of VRAM. The RTX 2080 is the highest end graphics card from Nvidia, and capable of playing the latest games at Ultra graphics settings. And, of course, it supports ray tracing for more realistic lighting and reflections.
Designed from insights and feedback from the Omen gaming communities, the Omen X 2S has been priced at Rs 2,09,990 and will be available from July 1.
"As the market leader, HP is democratising gaming in India by bringing powerful devices and solutions that cater to needs of all types of gamers," says Vickram Bedi, Senior Director, Personal Systems, HP Inc. India. "We are pushing paradigms of gaming innovations through disruptive new devices like OMEN X 2S that provide unmatched experiences to the gamers and help them reach the next level."
For a while now, Google Assistant has had the ability to read out your text messages aloud. But, this feature was only helpful for users who had all their important messages in the SMS inbox. Google Assistant did not support the same for third-party apps. Until now. As part of its latest update, Google Assistant will now be able to read your messages from third-party apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and more. You will also be able to send a reply through the assistant to these apps. The read-aloud feature is particularly useful when you're driving, cooking or otherwise have your hands full. And with the latest update, you might not need to touch the phone to even check if your WhatsApp message needs an immediate response. Notably, Google hasn't announced this officially, however, the feature was noticed by many users of the Android community. This was first spotted by Android Police. But this also mean, that the feature might not be widely available righ...

Designer Pierre Yohanes designed the Halbo for eco-minded people who want something compact and electric powered. The front wheel is stationary and the back tail turns, so it’s kind of like riding a motorboat. So you’d like to have a tiny motorcycle. So you’d like to have a fast motorcycle. So you’d like to have a safe motorcycle. I am sorry you cannot have all three! What you’ve got here is a very fast, very dangerous vehicle. It’s called the Halbo, and it’s got a BMW stamp on it. It’s tiny and it’s got a front wheel motor combined with a sphere form rear wheel. The target user for this vehicle is a “vibrant eco-minded young individual.” Speed on!

The Pixel phones and the Google Home speakers all fall under Google's 'Made by Google' brand. This unit was started some three years ago by the company, before which Google was dabbling in other hardware like Nexus. Now, Google is ready to make its products more sustainable. In a tweet shared by the company, Google says that starting 2022, 100 percent of its 'Made by Google' products will include recycled materials and will maximize recycled content whenever possible. Google's Anna Meegan, Head of Sustainability, Consumer Hardware further wrote in the blog that by 2020, 100 percent of all the company shipments going to or from customers will be carbon neutral.
