We’ve covered some mini laptops in past with 7″ to 9″ displays, but most came with a fairly high price due to the somewhat high specs with Amber Lake or Gemini Lake processors, 8GB+ RAM, 128GB+ storage, etc… meaning in most cases you’d have to pay between $500 and $1,000 for such a small device. If you’d […]
Though the sizes of laptops and mobile phones have become smaller and lighter over the years, that of power adapters have pretty much remained the same. They are still the same device we have always known them to be; bulky, messy and hard-to-carry-around. But the new GaNtechnology seeks to bring a revolution in the world of power

Mass sensing startup Sorex Sensors Ltd. (Cambridge, England) has launched its first product, a particulate sensor along with a development kit. By Peter Clarke @ eenewseurope.com The Sorex sensor is designed for use in air purifier systems and in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, such as atomic layer deposition tools, where it can monitor amounts and rates. It

Many years ago (September 2009) I made a simple bench power supply using an LT1083 7.5A linear regulator with adjustable output voltage designed to be used with a 19.5V 3.42A laptop power supply. It still works fine after years of abuse, but my choice of output power connectors was poor (3 pin headers, the sort

Laptop Docks for smartphones are becoming quite the real deal. For those who are not yet familiar with them, the docks serve as hosts for turning smartphones into laptops. As their popularity grows, the market is awash with several types of laptop docks with some top performers like the NexDock 2 and AFAICR, both of which come with a full
We feel bad when we see a retrocomputer project and think, “Hey! That’s not that old.” But, usually, when we think about it, it really is. Take the Penkesu. It looks like one of the little organizer computers that were popular — ok — a long time ago. Inside is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, a
One of the most important actions in the development of any electronics device is soldering, irrespective of the method adopted, having the right tools to do it the right way is a major determinant of the speed and quality of the soldering process. Several soldering tools exist in the market with each aiming to solve

This sketch is an Arduino program which acts as an simplified hardware I/O server using a simple readable message protocol. The intent is to provide an easily modified and extended real-time embedded hardware controller which can interface easily with a non-real-time client running on a laptop or Raspberry Pi. The following documentation was extracted from
Dr. Scott Ananian, from the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, conceived an Arduino Leonardo-compatible board especially designed for the OLPC XO laptop, with the goal to cut down its price as much as possible, to foster its adoption even in developing countries. From Scott’s blog: The board, named XOrduino, is open hardware (schematics and pcb
