"I recently switched from a MacBook Pro to Dell XPS 13 and couldnâ€™t be happier,â€ it quotes Scott Stedman, founder of Northside Media Group, as saying. "The touchscreen is a game-changer and has transformed the way I work. It allows me to pivot between business development and design throughout the day. While Iâ€™m responsible for growth and operations, right now we are deep in product development for a new web app set to launch in 2015, and the XPS has allowed me every tool to navigate these varied responsibilities.â€I suspect Apple isn't exactly quaking in its boots at these taunts - the MacBook Air remains a great laptop, and its sales no doubt continue apace even now - but it should take note. The PC industry has caught up, and even the most staunch Apple advocate would surely agree that the company finds itself in the unfamiliar position of underdog.

It's almost certain that we'll see a 12in MacBook Air (even if it isn't called that) this year, but even if the rumours are right - and I tend to give most credence to MacRumors on this front - then it could look so-2014 by the time of its release.Because those laptop product managers have every right to be a bit cocky. Asus is showing the strength of the 2-in-1 laptop/tablet design with its Transformer Book Chi, and it's notable that Toshiba has produced a 2-in-1 product in the form of the Satellite Click Mini, while Lenovo's ThinkPad Helix is quietly improving too. Will Apple release a 2-in-1? I very much doubt it.Sticking with Lenovo, it's breaking new ground with the 770g LaVie - a full 40% lighter than the equivalent MacBook Air. And then there's the new Dell XPS 13 with its stunning edge-to-edge "infinity" display. Oh, and I haven't even mentioned my favourite laptop of CES, HP's EliteBook Folio 1020.

While the Education Content Access Point could clearly be useful for emerging markets with less robust infrastructure, Intel's government and education specialist Eileen Lento told PC Pro at the BETT education show in London that it could also find a place in countries such as the UK, for smaller schools that need an easy way to manage class content or that have wobbly wireless.The Intel Education Content Access Point is powered by an Atom E3815 and has 500GB of storage. It's available immediately via Intel's channel partners.Leaked specs for the upcoming $199 (£120) HP Stream 14 have suggested the cheap laptop will have similar specs to the HP Chromebook 14, which costs $299.The cheap and cheerful Chromebook challenger, which was announced at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in July, was expected to sport an Intel Atom "Bay Trail" CPU, as the very similar HP Chromebook 14 does.

Instead, a manual prematurely published online by HP has revealed that the Stream 14 will have an AMD A4 Micro-6400T Quad-Core SoC.Otherwise, itâ€™s similar to the HP Chromebook 14, but runs Windows 8.1 rather than Chrome OS - which may be a good selling point for those not willing to give up their Windows apps.Other details from the document â€“ which has since been pulled from HP's website, but is still available as a Google cache â€“ include integrated low-power Radeon R3 graphics, 2GB non-upgradable RAM, one USB 3 port and two USB 2 ports.The device will have a 14in, 1,366 x 768 resolution BrightView HD screen and an HDMIport that can support an external screen up to 1,920 x 1,080 resolution.In the audiovisual department, the Stream 14 has an HP TrueVision HD camera, a single microphone with echo-cancelling and noise-suppression software, Beats Audio and four speakers. The notebook will also have a built-in WLAN antenna and the option to add integrated wireless capabilities.

Alongside Windows 8.1, it will feature 100GB OneDrive storage for two years. Chromebooks come with 100GB on Google Drive for two years.The HP device has similar specs, with the same display, ports and multimedia features, but has double the RAM at 4GB.One thing that remains unknown is when the HP Stream 14 will be available to buy, although a "back to school" season launch isn't an unreasonable assumption.If youâ€™re worried about GCHQ being on your back, there are several free encryption tools worth trying out.Open-source software TrueCrypt offers various options for encrypting all or part of a hard disk or USB drive. The software renders sensitive files unreadable without the key, and lets you drop them into an encrypted "lockerâ€ within the drive. However, some functions will take up considerable room on your PC, and the encryption process can be time-consuming.

If youâ€™re on the Pro or Enterprise editions of Windows 8, Microsoft offers a full-disk encryption feature, BitLocker. As with TrueCrypt, BitLocker protects your files by encrypting whole volumes, using 128-bit or 256-bit encryption. Activate the feature through the control panelâ€™s security settings â€“ but youâ€™ll need to make sure your drive has two NTFS partitions to meet BitLockerâ€™s requirements. BitLocker also comes with the Ultimate and Enterprise editions of Vista and Windows 7.Facebook seems to change its privacy terms on a near-weekly basis, making it easy to miss amendments and not realise how your data is displayed and shared on social networks. If you have a spare hour, itâ€™s wise to double-check all is as it should be. In Facebook, click the settings icon in the top-right corner and go through each one in the list. To see what other people can see on your page, click the lock icon and select "who can see my stuffâ€.

CES 2015 best laptop HP's EliteBook Folio 1020
It's shaping up to be a cracking year for laptops and, for once, all the innovation is coming from the old-school Windows manufacturers. I'm sure Apple will produce something special at some point - if not this year then next - but if nothing else it's nice to see a power shift after almost a decade of Apple design dominance.If Bitdefender has one major selling point, itâ€™s the range of innovative features on offer. Aside from basic antivirus protection and an intelligent firewall with easy-to-use rules, it crams in a rescue mode to reboot, clean and fix your system, web protection with an optional browser toolbar, anti-fraud and anti-phishing protection, a whole raft of privacy tools, a hardened browser for banking and shopping, parental controls and built-in optimisation utilities.It even has a battery mode for use on laptops, cutting back on non-essential security activities when youâ€™re low on charge.

BitDefender Internet Security 2015 review - main UI
Sometimes it goes overboard. There are seven clean-up, optimisation and registry tools from which to choose, which seems odd given the prominence of the one-click optimiser. And while weâ€™re impressed by Bitdefenderâ€™s Profiles feature, which postpones notifications, background programs and maintenance tasks while youâ€™re working, watching videos or playing games, itâ€™s keen to throw up widgets the rest of the time.For example, a splash in the top corner of the screen asks if youâ€™d rather switch to the SafePay browser, and a large, circular widget in the bottom right provides status notifications and one-click access to the dashboard, when a system tray applet would work just as well. The interface is, truth be told, a bit flashy, but otherwise clean and easy to navigate.Quick scans in Bitdefender really are superfast, taking just over a minute on our old dual-core PC with 2GB of RAM. Itâ€™s heavier on system resources than the most lightweight package, consuming 24% of RAM and 25% of CPU while scanning on our dual-core test PC, but the system still felt reasonably responsive.

It isn't perfect, then, but the Venue 11 Pro remains a great tablet, especially when you consider the price. If you can make do with a 64GB SSD, the entry-level model throws in a slim, clip-on keyboard for £559 inc VAT, and even if you crave the top-end model with the faster CPU and 128GB SSD, it still costs a reasonable £639 inc VAT, albeit without a keyboard. That compares very favourably with the Microsoft Surface Pro 3.Hannspree may not be the first name that springs to mind when thinking of dramatic innovation in desktop PCs â€“ itâ€™s better known for its monitors â€“ but its latest product could change that. The Hannspree Micro PC (also known as a "PC on a Stick" by some retailers) is a full-blown Windows 8.1 (with Bing) PC, squeezed into a package only a touch bigger than a Chromecast. It weighs a mere 38g, measuring 38 x 110 x 10mm (WDH) and, just like a Chromecast, it plugs directly into a TV or monitor via HDMI. Since HDMI doesnâ€™t carry any power, you need to plug it into the supplied mains adapter, too, or a spare USB socket in the back of your TV or monitor. But aside from that, all you need to add is a keyboard and mouse.http://www.dearbattery.co.uk/acer.html

Despite its size, the Micro PC runs full Windows 8.1 pretty well. In fact, it has the same core hardware under the bonnet as the Linx 10 tablet â€“ an Intel Atom Z3735F running at a base frequency of 1.33GHz and bursting at up to 1.83GHz, along with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC flash storage. As a result, Windows feels pretty spritely in everyday use. Explorer windows fire up without delay, as do hefty web pages, and the Start screen scrolls by without a hiccup. Multitasking can slow things down a touch, and you wouldnâ€™t want to do much video editing on it, but for browsing and office work itâ€™s fine.In testing, the system performed as expected, scoring 0.35 in our application-driven Real World Benchmarks, which is on a par with most other Atom hardware weâ€™ve tested recently. We had to drop from the usual Full HD resolution to to 1,280 x 800, however, to get the Photoshop test to work without throwing out-of-memory errors.
