AMD Ryzen 7 powered HP Omen 15 coming to India on July 21

We already know that HP is gearing up to launch the new Omen and Pavillion series of gaming laptops in India on the 21st of July. We have now learned from industry sources of specifics about the products that are launching in a few days. The first is that all of the laptops that will be announced will utilize GDDR6 memory-based GPUs, even the low-end ones and the second one relates to the processor portfolio. We have it on good authority that one of the SKUs being launched will be powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 4000-series processor.

The HP Omen and Pavilion series of gaming laptops were announced last month and was seen as a major refresh in terms of design. On the hardware front, the laptops are now powered by Intel’s 10th generation Core-processors, with the choice of GPUs going all the way up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q design. On the AMD side of things,  you can configure the Omen 15 with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H octa-core processor, but the GPU is limited to just the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti. Given that HP is going to announce the Ryzen 7 variant of the OMEN 15 on July 21, we can expect that particular SKU to include the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti. Currently, the Asus TUF Gaming A15 series is the only gaming laptop to be avaialble with Ryzen 4000 series processors in India.

Other information that’s leaked so far around the July 21 announcement confirmation that the company will also be bringing the Pavilion series of gaming machines to the country, along with the fact that the starting price of the new gaming lineup is expected to be Rs 70,000. The Pavilion 16 does not come in a Ryzen variant, so games who want the 16-inch display, will have to make do with Intel chips.

HP is set to announce the new laptops alongside a number of gaming peripherals on the 21st of July.

The news comes via a tweet, where Netflix announced the release date and a complete list of the cast members.

Produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, the twisted anecdote will feature a serial-killing couple, a spider eating preacher and a lecherous pastor who preys on young congregants. As of now, Netflix has not updated the release date on their official page. But it should be resolved as soon as possible.

Everything we know about the AirPods 3

According to Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is looking to launch the 3rd iteration of the AirPods in the first half of 2021. His sources also say that Apple is going to draw inspiration from the AirPods Pro in terms of design. He wasn’t clear how Apple is going to do that but rumours suggest that the AirPods 3 will have a shorter stem with the same in-ear design as its predecessor. This makes sense as the biggest differentiating factor between the AirPods and AirPods Pro is the silicon tips which offers Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Apple wouldn’t want to add its flagship feature to the “non-pro” variant.

Kuo goes further to suggest that Apple will change its method of manufacturing the AirPods 3 to System in Package (SiP), which allows Apple to pack more features into a smaller footprint. This is the same method which is used to produce the AirPods Pro with the H1 chip at its core which enables clearer audio, Siri commands and noise-cancelling making it more expensive.

Apple AirPods 3 could launch in 2021

In April, Kuo indicated that the 2nd generation of the AirPods Pro will arrive in late 2021 or early 2022 and according to leaks and rumours, Apple will also be removing the EarPods from the iPhone 12 retail boxes helping drive AirPods sales.

Apple recently filed two health patents related to exercise and yoga positions. One of the patents provides coaching and feedback to the user whilst analysing the head and other body movements. This patent allows Apple to add sensors which gather orientation information like accelerometer measurements during movements made by the user. The second patent focuses on tracking and accurately predicting the number of calories burnt when practising Yoga using the Photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor in the wearable. This will all be made possible with AirPods communicating with the iPhone using Bluetooth.

When we reviewed the Apple AirPods 2 we said, “The new Apple AirPods sound good, not great, but good. While the earphones produce relatively deep bass that's not highly accurate, it handles the highs quite well but the mids are slightly dampened. With a slew of features that will cater to most users’ needs, the AirPods would make an excellent package if it weren’t for the premium one has to pay for them”.

The TWS space is heating up with budget and premium brands gunning for your ears. We recently reviewed the Sony WF-XB700 and you can check that out here. OnePlus also wants a piece of the TWS pie and is launching its OnePlus Buds on July 21 alongside the upcoming OnePlus Nors smartphone. You can read everything we know about the OnePlus Buds here.
