Features such as lane-departure warning, blind spot monitors, self-parking and autonomous emergency braking represent the cutting edge of semi-autonomous car tech, and these are the sorts of features we expect to find on the most expensive cars we test.That, in a nutshell, is it. We won’t be looking at the things traditional car reviews do. For details on drivability, performance and practicalities such as legroom and boot space, you can read the full reviews on our sister sites Auto Express and Carbuyer – but at the end of an Alphr car review you should have a better idea what it does from a technological standpoint and how well it all hangs together. If you’re selling your laptop, plan to free up some space or simply want to wipe the slate clean, you may want to think about resetting your Windows PC. The good news is this is relatively straightforward to do when using Windows 10. Here we break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, which work across Windows 10 PCs, tablets and laptops. On the next page, we have a similar guide for Windows 8.

First of all, click on the Settings icon in the menu, then select Update & security. Alternatively, type Reset into the search tab.From the Update & security menu, select Recovery. This will bring up two options: Reset this PC and Advanced start-up. For restoring your laptop, you’ll want to select the first option.Now you’ll have three options: Keep my files, Remove everything and Restore factory settings. The first choice will keep your personal files, and is good for generally refreshing settings and removing installed apps. The second choice will also remove your personal files, while the last choice also reinstalls the original version of Windows that came on your laptop. It may be worth noting which version of Windows your laptop came with – for example, if your laptop came with Windows 8, that’s the version that’ll be initially installed.

“After food and water, the next thing people in North Korea want is knowledge,” Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer of the Human Rights Foundation told the BBC. “For many of us, flash drives are becoming an obsolete technology – we have the cloud, and we can share things. But every single flash drive could save someone's life.”The campaign began last week, and the charities have already received 200 for the cause, which is helpful because purchasing retail USB sticks for the project is prohibitively expensive. Especially when you consider the cost of transport, bribes and focus groups (yes, really) to establish the most popular programmes for Korean citizens. Just in case you’re wondering, Friends, Desperate Housewives, Spartacus and The Hunger Games are all namechecked. “Arnold Schwarzenegger, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sylvester Stallone are very popular,” adds Gladstein.

How do the USB sticks get seen? While it’s true that computers and laptops remain rare in North Korea, the Notel is an increasingly popular solution. It’s a cheap, versatile media player that, crucially, is extremely easy to conceal. Although they’re legal in the country, Reuters explains that each one is required to be registered, allowing the authorities to keep tabs on the spread of foreign media.“To avoid getting caught, people load a North Korean DVD while watching South Korean dramas on a USB stick, which can be pulled out,” a North Korean defector explained to Reuters. “They then tell the authorities, who feel the heat from the Notel to check whether or not it has been recently used, that they were watching North Korean films.”While westerners might not miss a USB stick or two, it can make a major difference to citizens living under censorship. As Sharon Stratton, an organiser of the campaign told Wired: “You’ll probably never meet the person who has it, but you can be sure that someone will have it and will be happier for it.”

Acer has been making some serious headway with Chromebooks in recent years, greedily snaffling more than a third of the global market. Now, the company is looking to cement its number one position by taking inspiration from Lenovo’s Yoga line-up. Behold, the company’s first Chrome OS-powered convertible – the limber Acer Chromebook R11.There’s more than a little hint of deja-vu to the Chromebook R11. The white plastics and curved edges are reminiscent of the HP Chromebook 11 – but the star of the show is the hinge. The Chromebook R11’s “patented dual-torque hinge” allows the screen to bend back through 360 degrees, allowing it to work in laptop, tablet, tent and stand modes with a mere flick of the wrist.

This is, quite simply, a brilliant idea, and one that makes the Chromebook R11 far more versatile than most of its Chromebook peers. Grab the R11 and, once the hinge bends back past the halfway mark, the keyboard and touchpad are automatically disabled (unless you’re in setup mode). The screen orientation sensor is also activated automatically and this allows you to flip between landscape and portrait modes, the latter proving perfect for reading long-form articles on the web, or, in my case, proof-reading this review.Nifty design aside, though, this isn’t a Chromebook that’s going to win awards for beautiful design. The Acer’s 1.2kg body is mostly built from textured white plastic that looks rather cheap. As one of my colleagues noted, it’s a touch reminiscent of Asus’s old-school Eee PC netbooks. It’s not all plastic, though, and Acer’s marketing materials are keen to point out the R11’s lid is made from patterned aluminium.

Pretty it certainly isn’t, but then this does feel like a laptop that’s going to last. There’s very little in the way of flex or give in the R11’s body, and the lid feels impressively taut and tough – I had to prod very hard on it before it caused any show-through on the display. For a laptop destined to be hurled in and out of bags on a regular basis, trust me, this is a very good thing.It’s also great to see Acer has equipped the Chromebook R11 with a decent display. As Acer has opted for an IPS panel, viewing angles are more than wide enough to make the most of the super-flexible hinge. Contrast and brightness drop off when viewed off-axis, but colours don’t look unnatural or horribly washed out as they so often do on Chromebooks using cheaper TN LCD technology.It isn’t the brightest display around, reaching an uninspiring maximum brightness of 226cd/m2, but although that’s low, it’s still bright enough for most purposes. Similarly, while the measured contrast ratio of 1,210:1 sounds pretty amazing, it’s not worth getting excited about – the high figure is due to dynamic contrast, which tweaks the brightness depending on what’s onscreen.

Geeky niggles aside, the image quality is great for a £230 Chromebook. The 1,366 x 768 resolution feels cramped – I prefer Full HD on my Chromebooks – but the flipside is the IPS panel delivers vibrant colours and makes a good fist of movies and photos. It’s much easier on the eyes than the many Chromebooks I’ve seen with TN screens.As an example, Apple describes using 75 percent of the battery’s charge one day and then recharging it to 100 percent. If you use 25 percent of the battery the next day, the use for those two days makes up one cycle because you consumed 100 percent of the battery’s charge in that time.The number of charge cycles you get depends on the battery. But several laptop manufacturers estimate that you should get 300 to 500 charge cycles before the battery begins to fail; some may even promise 1,000 cycles. If you are a heavy user and recharge your laptop frequently, you may see the battery’s performance begin to degrade after a year or two.

Most laptop makers include diagnostic tools to check the health and status of the battery. If you do not see a battery-checker program on your computer, visit the technical-support area of the manufacturer’s website for information.On the PC side, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Sony are among many companies that offer information and tools for checking the condition of your laptop battery. Third-party apps can also help provide information about your battery. If you are comfortable using typed command-line instructions, Windows has a Powercfg tool that you can use to generate a battery report; sites like Laptop, How-To Geek and The Windows Club offer illustrated guides for doing so.

For MacBook laptops, Apple’s support site devotes several pages to information on lithium-ion batteries and how to care for them (as well as how to recycle batteries when they are fully kaput). The “Determining battery cycle count for Mac notebooks” page explains how to find out how many battery cycles the MacBook has used so far. The “About Mac notebook batteries” section is also full of information on battery care and troubleshooting. For immediate information about your battery’s status, hold down the Option key on the Mac’s keyboard while clicking the battery icon in the menu bar to see one of four conditions listed: Normal, Replace Soon, Replace Now or Service Battery.When the time comes to replace your battery, check with the manufacturer about ordering the right power cell if your laptop uses a removable battery pack. If you have a laptop or an ultrabook with the battery sealed inside, find an authorized service provider for your model to crack open the case and make the swap — unless you are feeling daring enough to find the parts and attempt the repair yourself with the help of sites like iFixit or YouTube videos.

John Ellenby, a British-born computer engineer who played a critical role in paving the way for the laptop computer, died on Aug. 17 in San Francisco. He was 75.Mr. Ellenby’s pioneering work came to fruition in the early 1980s, after he founded Grid Systems, a company in Mountain View, Calif. As chief executive, he assembled an engineering and design team that included the noted British-born industrial designer William Moggridge.The team produced a clamshell computer with an orange electroluminescent flat-panel display that was introduced as the Compass. It went to market in 1982. The Compass is now widely acknowledged to have been far ahead of its time.“The Grid Compass was the first successful clamshell laptop computer,” said Marc Weber, a historian at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View.It went on to become a valuable tool for big corporations, government spies, White House and Pentagon officials, and even astronauts, surviving the midair explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in which seven people died.
