Windows 10's first major update is called the Anniversary update is coming this Summer


This morning during the opening keynote for Microsoft's 2016 BUILD developer conference, Terry Myerson took the time to announce that there is not over 270 million Windows 10 users and also introduced an upcoming Windows 10 update which have previously been referred as 'redstone'. Called the Windows 10 Anniversary update, the new version of Windows 10 will be coming to users later this Summer, presumably by the time Windows 10's first anniversary hits.


As expected, this upcoming update will slowly trickling out to users in the Windows Insider program in the coming weeks. As for the actual features that will be bundled with this new Anniversary update, the list currently includes things like support for biometric security through select applications on Microsoft Edge, improved inking (Windows Ink) improvements with some visual tweaks and updated support for UWP apps. Just as before, this list will most likely grow as the weeks go by.

Microsoft says that the Windows 10 anniversary update will be rolling out to all Windows 10 PCs in the Summer and the update will be free to all Windows 10 users. While these features are only related to Windows 10 on the PC, expect to hear more details about the Windows 10 Anniversary update for other Windows devices like the XBOX and Mobile.

Fitbit Blaze is a $200 fitness tracker with replaceable bands like the Apple Watch


Apple might be new to the game of wearables but last year alone, the Apple Watch manage to outsell just about every other fitness tracker and smartwatch out there. Fitbit which is the prominent leader in the race is feeling the heat and I think that Apple Watch is the inspiration for the new Fitbit Blaze fitness tracker.

Make no mistake, this is still a fitness tracker deep down and you can't install third party apps or view reply to notifications as the core functionality of the Fitbit Blaze is to track your steps, measure your sleep and track workout. There is a built in HR sensor on the Fitbit Blaze but unlike the Fitbit Surge, the new Blaze does not come with built in GPS.

But what the Fitbit Blaze does come with is a sense of style. The design of Fitbit's new fitness tracker is a lot like those square smartwatches and for the first time ever, Fitbit is also putting a color display onto one of their fitness trackers. Not a fancy OLED display but the Fitbit Blaze does get up to 5 days of battery life with he color LCD display.

In terms of software, you can expect to receive basic notifications on the Fitbit Blaze and the device is compatible with up to 200 iOS, Android and Windows devices. Beyond that, the Blaze also includes integration with FitStar which is an app that provides guided workouts and like all modern Fitbit trackers, the Blaze will also automatically recognize your workout.

For $200, the Fitbit Blaze works exactly like the Fitbit Charge HR but the only difference is in terms of design. Wearing the Blaze doesn't give others the impression that you are wearing a fitness band as the Blaze a sophisticated look and you can even upgrade that look with an optional band that goes up to $130 and ranges from leather straps to metal bands.

The Fitbit Blaze is now available for Pre-order through Fitbit's online store for $199.95 (~ RM 870) and will be available in black, blue and plum.

Acer's new Cloudbooks runs Windows 10 and will cost you less than $200

Windows 10 has been out for a couple of days now and while the momentum isn't as strong like it was last week, Microsoft's new operating system is still gaining traction over the market. While the majority of devices running Windows 10 comprises of upgrades of existing devices, that's about to change as the back to school season is upon us.

Well, Acer is unveiling a totally new type of Windows device today and they're calling it the Cloudbook. As the name suggests, the new Cloudbook lineup harnesses the power of the cloud as the laptop itself can only be configured to a maximum of 64GB of flash storage. To replenish that lost storage, Acer will be bundling the purchase of the Cloudbook with a years' subscription of Office 365 which includes 1TB of OneDrive storage.

Powering the Cloudbook is intel's dual core celeron processor clocked in at 1.6GHz and there's also 2GB of DDR3 RAM, Wireless AC, Bluetooth 4.0 and a couple of USB ports. The Acer Cloudbook runs on Windows 10 Home and will be available in two display sizes, a 11.6" model and a 14" model which starts at $170 and goes up to $200 for the 64GB 14" Cloudbook.
