Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 Support Pages Appear on the Internet, and Launch may be Imminent

0

Two Microsoft support pages have been found on the internet for the unannounced Surface Laptop 4, suggesting a launch may be looming large. One is an Intel model while the other is a placeholder for an AMD version of the laptop. Both were spotted by WalkingCat, an often reliable source of gadget leaks, who posted about it on Twitter and speculates that we might see them launched at a Surface event as soon as next week.

While the Microsoft support page does not provide us with many more details about the laptop, a report from WinFuture last month fills in the details. The AMD processors used will include the Ryzen 5 4680U and the Ryzen 7 4980U, and will reportedly be from its 4000 mobile series. 2019’s Surface Laptop 3 used the 3000-series chips, so this is a step up, but anyone hoping to see AMD’s brand new Ryzen 5000 mobile processors here might be disappointed.

On the Intel side, WinFuture notes, “there will be editions with the Intel Core i5-1145G7, while the more expensive models will be equipped with Intel Core i7-1185G7.”

The support page lists drivers for the unannounced laptop. Screenshot: Microsoft.com

Otherwise, the form-factor and specs of the Surface Laptop 4 are reportedly broadly in line with previous models that have been released, so there should be no or only minor differences on the outside. Apparently, there will be 13.5- and 15-inch models available, with a maximum of b1TB of storage and 32GB of RAM. Their screens should maintain that excellent 3:2 aspect ratio.

Any official announcements have not yet been made or received by the American tech company about when its new laptops could be launched, but considering how the support pages are already live, a release can’t be too far away.

Spurs to Dybala rumored in the works

0

Tottenham Hotspur is being linked with the signature of Juventus star Paulo Dybala. Dybala is rumored to be on the verge of leaving Juventus, mainly due to personal feelings. Negotiations have been going on for two years regarding a contract extension and no agreement has been reached between the two parties.

As mentioned by Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go podcast, he is always injured and is not playing much. Outside the pitch, problems persist as well, with the recent incident that took place at Weston McKennie’s house in Turin that caused the player to face a one-match ban. At Juventus, you have to follow the rules historically, since the Bianconeri are very strict on the protocol. 

Dybala

Swap deal offers and potential bids must be looked out for in the summer for Dybala but nobody knows if Spurs are going to cough up the big bucks to sign him. But with that said, Dybala will be on the market for sure. His contract is expiring in one year, which will warrant a low price due to the urgency to get rid of him if they can’t agree to a new deal. 

 Last season he was great but he needs to be the star and needs to be important. Ronaldo and Higuain joining destroyed his confidence and he needs that now more than anything. 

Call of Duty Warzone’s Hilarious Missile Bug Goes Viral

0

One player has captured footage of Call of Duty: Warzone where a nuke crashed into Verdansk and then nothing happened like some sort of cataclysmic event we did expect.

This bug looks so funny after all, you can see in the video that a huge missile heading downward from high-up in the sky before landing on the ground with a loud sound. After the crash, some smoke and dust create a cloud around that area, and then things get back to the normal state instantly. The player was so surprised after seeing the situation.

It’s a glitch that has to be noticed, but it is also a very nice preview of the actual Warzone nuke coming very soon, most probably in a live event, to include major changes to the map. To give an idea of the missile’s size, ModernWarzone has done an excellent job by capturing the incoming missile screen just before it makes contact with the ground.

Now, it remains a big question that what will happen after the real nuke drops. Raven Software has been teasing about the nukes for a while, but still, this is not clear that what exactly it’s gonna bring to the Warzone Season 3 map.

According to a recent leak, the new map will be a Cold War-era Verdansk rather than totally a new map, though this is still not confirmed. The Warzone Season 3 will be released on April 22 or around this time, and then it will be exactly clear the level of devastation those Warzone nukes are carrying.

The base version of the OnePlus 9R comes with Snapdragon 870 5G processor and this year the pricing is a bit higher than usual in India, and this might be happening due to the partnership with Hasselblad.

He mentions that the phone is similar to the OnePlus 8T but with a replaced processor with Snapdragon 870. The phone is expected to be priced between 3,000 Yuan, as mentioned by the tipster, which is under INR 34,000. This makes the phone literally cheaper than the Indian version.

OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 SoC but OnePlus 9R is powered by the weaker Snapdragon 870 mobile chipset. It is coupled with 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage. The smartphone also comes with an exciting in-display fingerprint sensor. It runs on OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11.

In terms of optics, the smartphone showcases a quad-camera system at the back. This includes a 48MP f/1.75 Sony IMX586 main lens, 16MP Sony IMX481, 2MP monochrome, and a 5MP macro sensor. For selfies and video chats, the OnePlus 9R offers you a 16MP Sony IMX471 selfie shooter.

0

Realme GT was launched in China last month with some flagship features. Whereas, another phone has also tagged along with it, the Realme GT Neo 5G, which was also announced in China at the end of March. The latter has also been spotted in India’s BIS certification as well recently. Yesterday, the company’s CMO Francis Wang has hinted about a new flagship arrival in the country, and this arises a bunch of confusion which leads to guessing now which smartphone is going to launch in India.

In a chat with Francis for the ‘Know your Realmers’ episode, he talks a lot about Realme, his background, and future plans. In the chat session, while replying to a question of which Realme phone is he using as a daily driver, the Realme CMO replied “I wish I could tell you the device I am using, it is our next flagship and it will launch as part of our 3rd-anniversary celebration. Just wait for it.”

Realme celebrates its anniversary on May 4 and going by the words of Francis, the smartphone which he is using might launch in May and the exact date might be around 4th or on the day of its anniversary itself. Though the CMO has not revealed anything specifically, yet the hints given by him points to that date only.

According to TechRadar, the Realme CMO has not revealed any kind of technical information about this smartphone. The chances of launching the Realme GT in India are higher, whereas, the Realme GT Neo is also a flagship device with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset.

Tammy Abraham frozen out of Chelsea squad: Move in summer beckoning?

0

Since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, things have taken a turn for the better as the Blues went on an unbeaten streak that saw them dispatch the likes of Tottenham and Atletico Madrid. That winning streak came to an end against West Bromwich Albion this past weekend, as the Baggies humiliated Chelsea 2-5 at home. 

Now that the honeymoon phase for the German is over, one of the main observations that has come to light is Tuchel’s treatment of Tammy Abraham that has left the Chelsea squad confused. The Chelsea academy graduate is still the highest scorer for the club despite his absence from the starting lineup. 

Tuchel has preferred Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in the centre-forward position, benching both Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham in the process. While Giroud starred in Chelsea’s first-leg victory against Atletico Madrid with a bicycle kick to seal the win, the Frenchman has been dropped from the first team as well. 

Abraham has been a contract rebel, with the player reportedly being unconvinced that he has a future at Chelsea as the undisputed number 9. Moreover, Tuchel is also not fully sure about Abraham as the first choice striker, with him not getting any playtime in recent months. 

The youngster is now almost sure to miss out on the Euro 2020 squad, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin being preferred as the backup to Harry Kane. Additionally, he could be on the move this summer if things reach a boiling point. Aston Villa, Leicester and West Ham United are reportedly monitoring his situation with Chelsea and could swoop in if he becomes available. 

Neymar still close to extending contract with PSG

0

Over the last few days, the rumours linking Neymar with a return to Barcelona made a comeback with the Brazilian reportedly having halted contract talks with the French Champions. However, these rumours were completely denied by Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano on his Here We Go podcast. 

As per the reports coming from Romano himself over the last few months, Neymar was previously  interested in staying at Paris and sees his future at French capital, being impressed with the project and the structure in place at the club. However, no reports of him having cancelled talks are true. 

The player is negotiating the last details with Paris and is still close to reaching an agreement. The only factors that need deciding is the amount of bonuses that the player will receive for achieving certain targets on the pitch. 

During the January transfer window, Neymar was very vocal about his desire to play with Lionel Messi the next season. And now that Joan Laporta has been re-elected as the Barcelona president, it looks less and less likely that Messi will be signed as a free agent at the end of the season by PSG and more so that he will end up staying at the club. 

.

Hence, this is one of the reasons why the Brazilian was reported to have had a change of heart. But as reiterated by Romano, it looks likely that Neymar will successfully extend his contract with Paris in the weeks to come. 

Wijnaldum rejected three years contract offer by Liverpool

0

Despite the strong rumours linking Liverpool’s Gini Wijnaldum with a move to Barcelona, all the talk is just that, and  nothing has been signed by Wijnaldum as of yet. That was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go podcast, and the Italian has been regularly reporting on Wijnaldum’s situation. 

Barcelona and former Netherlands national team manager Ronald Koeman appreciates the player and will be hoping for a reunion at Camp Nou. While nothing has been signed yet, talks are still taking place regarding a move as a free agent in the summer, when his contract with Liverpool expires. 

Here's the latest on Wijnaldum contract update

The last proposal by Liverpool for the contract extension of the Dutch international was 3 years with the same salary. The player rejected the bid and said that he would wait and decide his future later in the season, potentially when it is over.  

There are negative feelings and both Liverpool and Barcelona are waiting for the last decision, same offer as last year. So while they are interested in the player and are scouting him, and have also gone as far as contacting him and his agent, there is nothing final as of yet, and we will have to wait it out.
