Primebook 4G vs Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook: Which one makes more sense

Primebook 4G and Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook are two of the laptops priced at ₹15,990 on Flipkart. Here, we compare them both to see which one should you buy. More importantly, should you buy an Android laptop over a Chromebook?

For the purposes of this article, we will be calling both of them laptops only (which they technically are). 

1. Design

Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook​

Both laptops come in black colour. Even though Primebook is classified as a thin and light laptop (281 X 192 X 19.3 mm, 1.065 Kg), both of them are lightweight machines. The dimensions of the Lenovo laptop are 286.7 x 205.5 x 18.05 mm and it weighs 1.12 Kg.

Primebook offers a customisable keyboard and touchpad support.

2. Internals

Both Lenovo and Primebook claim up to 10 hours of battery life.

Lenovo equips the Chromebook with a 45W USB-C charger. Primebook has got a 24W charger in comparison.

Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook runs on an Intel Celeron Dual Core processor (N4020) clocked at up to 2.8 GHz frequency. Meanwhile, the Primebook laptop has a MediaTek Kompanio 500 (MT8788) processor inside. It has a max frequency of up to 2.0 GHz.

The Lenovo laptop has an Intel-integrated UHD graphics card whereas the Primebook ships with MediaTek integrated ARM Mali G72 GPU.

Both Primebook and Lenovo offer 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB of EMMC storage. While Primebook supports up to 200GB of expandable storage, Lenovo also comes with micro SD card reader support.

3. Ports

When it comes to connectivity, with the IdeaPad 3 Chromebook, you get 2x USB-C (3.2 Gen 1 with support for Power Delivery and DisplayPort), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and 2x USB-A (3.2 Gen 1) ports, dual-band WiFi ac, and Bluetooth 4.2.

The Primebook laptop gives you 2x USB-A (one of them 2.0 and the other 3.0 standard) ports, mini HDMI, a 3.5mm jack, dual-band WiFi ac and Bluetooth 5.0.

4. Display

Lenovo has outfitted its laptop with an 11.6-inch HD TN panel (1366x768) with 250 nits of brightness. Primebook also has an HD screen that stretches 11.6 inches. 

Above the display, both laptops feature a 720P webcam. 

5. Software

Lenovo tells you it’s packing ChromeOS in the name. On the other hand, Primebook is carrying Android-based PrimeOS. 

PrimeOS is an indigenous operating system that comes with 10,000+ Android apps, MDM (Mobile Device Management with parental lock and usage restrictions), etc. This coupled with 4G connectivity gets you a laptop that is aimed at a seamless transition for an Android phone user. Well, Chromebook also makes a similar pitch and has been in the market for a longer period. It is equipped with a Google Play Store to download Android apps as you want.

iPhone 15 Ultra mockup unboxed revealing USB-C port and other new details

We are still some months away from the Apple iPhone 15 launch event, and there are already a lot of details we know about the iPhone 15 series due to leaks and rumours. Now, Lew from Unbox Therapy has shown off an iPhone 15 Ultra mockup that corroborates many of the supposed changes and features of the upcoming iPhone model.

5 iPhone 15 Ultra features that we expect to see so far

1. iPhone 15 Ultra could come with a brushed metal look on the side frame and a matte finish at the back. This could lend more grip to the phone. Since the new iPhone will be thicker compared to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, the grippy back could help in handling it better. The thickness could also mean the protrusion of the back camera rings would be less obvious and there will be more space for the battery inside.

2. Bowing to the mounting pressures from the EU and other government regulations, Apple could finally equip an iPhone with USB-C and that is apparent in the iPhone 15 Ultra mockup too.

Compared to a lightning female port, the cavity has a slim pin in the centre.  

Now, not every USB-C cable would be fully compatible with the new iPhones as Apple is reportedly integrating a chip into the port that checks for MFI-certified cables. Only cables of this kind could support fast charging and optimum data speeds.

Opposing this EU has brought a new mandate however the same will be in action a couple of years from now.

3. The mute switch is now a button, at least it’s so in the iPhone 15 Ultra mockup. This appears to be in application like the action button on the Apple Watch Ultra. 

4. The bezels, as per Lew, are half of what is on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. For symmetry, the corners have also been shrunk. Dynamic Island is also more noticeable because of the resulting larger screen-to-body ratio.

5. Meanwhile, inside the iPhone 15 Ultra, we could expect A17 Bionic based on a 5nm manufacturing process. 

Finally, for the iPhone 15 Pro series pricing, we rely on a few sources other than Lew’s video which tells us to expect a $100 hike. That could result in the iPhone 15 Pro's price being $1,099 and the Pro Max’s pricing being $1,199.  

Only time will tell how much of these speculations turn out to be true. We’ll keep you posted.

Realme 11 Pro+ unboxing video is here: Dont miss this fresh look at the phone

Realme 11 Pro+ unboxing video has surfaced ahead of the May 11 launch. This shows the Realme 11 Pro Plus’ fresh design. Although this isn’t anything unbeknownst at this point thanks to leaks and the company’s own reveal through renders, the leaked video gives a closer look at the real thing. Here it is:

Realme 11 Pro+ unboxing video

In the video, we only get to see the handset and its design. The person who unboxed the Realme 11 Pro+, doesn’t show the accessories and other box contents.

Coming back to that design, the Realme 11 Pro Plus has got a round camera island with one sensor in the middle and the rest two on its left and right sides. There is a flashlight sensor at the top. Surrounding the central lens, there is a disc-like shiny circular track.

You can see the 200MP camera branding. More on that later.

Exclusive sneak peek of realme’s latest launch - realme 11 Pro Plus  Surprise meeting realme’s VP - Chase Xu in Shenzhen :) @limreviews @realmeglobal pic.twitter.com/6UZ1DyK70L

— Cmei (@Cmeitech) May 2, 2023

The camera mesa is surrounded by a stitched faux leather material. A zip-like joint is present in the middle as if it joins the two sides of the leather wear. The leather portion has an off-shade white with a hint of cream and the zip portion and the side frames of the device have a golden shade.

As you may have heard already, the Realme 11 Pro+ design is made by an ex-Gucci designer. And I, for one, am bewitched by the unique look it has. Granted, we are yet to see and experience the phone in the flesh. 

The phone is set to go official on May 10 in China and should come to India and other markets soon.

When it does, here’s what we are expecting the phone to bring:

Realme 11 Pro+ specs and features

Realme 11 Pro Plus could come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor, up to 12GB of RAM, up to 256GB of internal storage, a 5,000mAh battery with 67W wired charging support, a 200MP (main)+8MP (ultrawide)+2MP (macro) triplet on the back and a 16MP selfie shooter.
