Credit: Alienware Alienware has announced its new X-series gaming laptop line. The X15 and X17 sport 11th Gen Intel CPUs and Nvidia’s new RTX GPU lineup. Both machines will be available in June, with prices starting at $1,999. Dell’s Alienware division is freshening up its gaming laptop offerings this month. Just a few weeks after the m15 R6 , the brand is now launching the X15 and X17 gaming laptops packing new cooling tech, slimmer bodies, and more powerful hardware. While Alienware’s previous laptops aren’t known for being slight, the X series seems to be a concerted effort by the brand to change this perception. The X15 is just 16.3mm thick including the lid, with a maximum weight of 2.36 kg. The X17 also measures a little over 20mm thick with a 3.2 kg curb weight. Both figures may still seem hefty, but Alienware’s done a good job keeping weight down considering the hardware on offer. Alienware X15 Credit: Alienware Let’s start with the Alienware X15. The ...

Credit: Eric Zeman / Android Authority A Samsung survey suggests the company is launching a 14.6-inch tablet. This possible Galaxy Tab S8 would include a 120Hz OLED screen, dual front cameras and up to 12GB of RAM. It’s not clear how close this model might be to production. The Galaxy Tab S7 Plus might not be Samsung’s largest slate for long. Android Police spotted a since-deleted tweet showing a South Korean survey that hinted Samsung might launch a 14-inch tablet in the near future. The 14-inch tablet (codenamed “Basquiat 3,” possibly the Galaxy Tab S8) would reportedly center around a 14.6-inch, 120Hz OLED screen that dwarfs the 12.4-inch display of the Tab S7 Plus — this would be even more of a laptop replacement than its predecessor. The extra visual real estate would also include a second, 5MP ultra-wide camera to join the 8MP standard model, and an under-screen fingerprint reader would make sign-ons easy.

Android TV Guide and  9to5Google have spotted a listing on Walmart for an Onn FHD Streaming Stick that will sell for just $24.88 — the lowest price yet for an Android TV device in the US. It’s not clear just how Walmart trimmed costs to make its 1080p Android TV device so affordable, although the 1GB of RAM suggests the stick is using decidedly lower-end hardware. It still has the remote you saw with the 4K device, however, so you’ll still have Google Assistant voice control as well as shortcuts to services like Disney Plus , Netflix , and HBO Max .
