<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">Consumers may also opt
for the Optional Intel Iris 540 Graphics, paired with the i7 6560U processor

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The Dell XPS 13 is
truly drool-worthy, but not everyone who wants an Ultrabook can shell out so
much at any given time. That is why, for those who want something more
affordable without compromising quality and performance, the </span><span style="color: black;">Asus Zenbook UX305F</span><span style="color: #444444;"> is an excellent alternative.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">For just under $700,
the Asus Zenbook UX305F is equipped with 800 MHz Intel Core M-5Y10c and Intel
HD Graphics 5300, an 8 GB LPDDR3 RAM, and a 128 GB SanDisk M.2 SSD internal
storage. It has a 13.3-inch anti-glare display and a decent battery life that
can reach up to 10 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

i5-6300U and 128MB Intel HD Graphics 520, 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD internal memory
and 12.3-inch 2,736 x 1,824 pixel touchscreen display. It runs a 64-bit Windows
10 Pro. The best news, especially for artists, is that the Surface Pro 4's
stylus, aptly called Surface Pen, is now better than ever with its reduced
latency and 1,024 pressure levels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

SSD hard drive, users are sure to get amazing speed and performance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">The Intel HD Graphics
620 paired with a 1,900 x 1,080 resolution display makes for a great visual
experience. At a little over $1,000, the Spectre x360 may seem a little pricey,
but it is well worth the price for the 2-in-1 category.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

LG Action Cam lets you live stream to YouTube without a phone

The LG G5 has a new "Friend" — a small camera that, in fact, does not need a phone at all to stream video directly to sites such as YouTube Live. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The LG Action Cam is a 12.3-megapixel little camera that can capture HD-ready, full HD or UHD video in 120, 60 and 30 frames per second, respectively. Live streaming, however, is limited to 30 fps, 720p video. </div>

The camera is chock-full of wireless connectivity, with LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support all on board. Other specs include 2GB of RAM, 4GB of memory (reserved only for the camera's own OS), support for microSD cards, gyroscope, accelerometer and a 1,400mAh battery providing up to four hours of full HD recording. </div>

The camera is water- and dust-resistant to IP67 specifications, meaning it can be immersed in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. If that's not enough, LG will launch a fully waterproof case later this year. </div>
<div style="margin: 0.75em 0px 1.5em;">
As for the video quality, it should be on par with the latest mid-range offerings in the space. With a 1/2.3-inch sensor, 1.55µm-sized pixels and an ultra-wide, 150-degree lens, the LG Action Cam should be able to capture videos comparable to those grabbed by the GoPro Hero Session, which has similar specs. </div>
<div style="margin: 0.75em 0px 1.5em;">
While you don't need an LG phone to run it — in fact, one of its most important features is the ability to stream video directly to an online streaming site without a phone, something that GoPro currently doesn't offer — it falls under the umbrella of LG's "Friends" ecosystem. LG already has one camera in that lineup, the LG 360 Cam, which lets you take 360-degree photos and videos, also without a phone. </div>
