There was a time when tablets were largely restricted to home use, but the advent of 2-in-1 devices and their subsequent boom in popularity has made this kind of system much more popular in the enterprise market. Now, Dell has revealed its latest hybrid aimed squarely at small and medium businesses.

The Dell Latitude 13 3000 Series Convertible boasts an arresting 13.3-inch FHD display with a 360-degree hinge that lends the device its adaptability. This design provides four distinct modes of operation — laptop, tent, stand, and tablet — intended to facilitate everything from typing up a report to presenting work to your colleagues.

Under the hood, the 3000 Series Convertible utilizes a sixth-generation Intel Skylake-U processor, with optional graphics upgrades also being made available to customers, according to a report from MS Power User. Given that Intel recently launched its range of seventh-generation processors, the decision to use slightly older components was likely made to keep costs down.

The system also features advanced connectivity options in the form of a USB Type-C port, which can be used to relay power, data, and audio depending on the needs of any given situation. There’s also a USB 3.0 port to ensure that the hybrid will be compatible with a host of modern peripherals.

Meanwhile, a Windows Hello-capable infrared camera will ensure that users can uphold a high level of security on their work computer. The system supports Windows Hello out of the box, which means that you can log in simply by looking directly at the camera.

The standard Dell Latitude 13 3000 Series 2-in-1 features an Intel Pentium Dual Core processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128 GB solid state drive at a price of $699 — optional upgrades are available at a higher price.

Your search engine could be hijacked by a Chrome extension that barely does anything
Your next search might take a detour you never approved.

A browser extension that does nothing except change your search engine sounds harmless, almost boring, right? After reading this research, I’m convinced you shouldn't ignore it.

Security firm Socket says it found over 300 Chrome extensions that quietly swap a user’s default search engine and route every search through servers controlled by the people behind them before it reaches Bing or Yahoo. Even more alarming, these extensions have reportedly racked up roughly 13.4 million installs over the past decade.

Intel’s 6W Moon Lake chips could make budget laptops cooler, quieter, and more efficient at a cost
A tiny chip with big battery life ambitions.

Cheap laptops, the ones with a wheezy fan and a battery that taps out by lunch, have burned me before, which is why I usually stay away from them and advise my friends to do the same.

So, when a leak claims Intel is building a chip just for them, with a power rating of only 6W (compared to 15 to 20W for regular chips), I’m a bit excited, but perhaps even more cautious.
