There are a growing number of Windows computers with higher-than-1080p displays. Desktop users can buy 4K monitors. Laptop customers have plenty of options for notebooks with 2560 x 1440 pixel, 3200 x 1600 pixel, or even 3840 x 2160 pixel screens. And tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Asus Transformer 3 Pro also have high-resolution screens.
But not all Windows software looks good on high-res displays. Windows Store apps designed for Microsoft’s new Universal Windows Platform do a pretty good job of scaling to high-res or lower-res screens.

Pre-paid US carrier Cricket Wireless will begin selling LG’s X Power smartphone on August 26th. As the name suggests, the LG X Power has one distinctive feature: a really big battery.
As we discovered earlier this year, the phone has a 5.3 inch display and a 4,100 mAh battery. The rest of its specs are pretty mediocre, but at least it’s reasonably priced: Cricket will sell the phone for $160.
New customers that port their numbers to Cricket can also get it for $30 off for a limited time.

Asus has been cranking out cheap Windows tablets for years, but in May the company announced plans to go after the premium tablet space with the Asus Transformer 3 and Transformer 3 Pro.
The tablets have high-res displays, detachable keyboard covers, and high-end specs. But if you were holding out hope that they’d be cheaper than rivals like the Microsoft Surface Pro line of tablets, it’s time to let go.
Asus has launched the Transformer 3 Pro in India, where it’s priced at 144,999 Rs, or about $2,168.

Looking for a small PC? They don’t get much smaller than an Intel Compute Stick… but while first-gen models of this PC-on-a-stick can be purchased for as little as $50 these days, the newer, more powerful models with Intel Core M processors, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage often sell for over $400.
But Newegg is offering discounts on a bunch of tiny desktop computers, including several Intel Compute Stick models. You can get a Core M3 model with no operating system for $300 or a version with Windows 10 for $360.

Last year Intel unveiled a reference design for 2-in-1 tablets using the company’s Skylake processors. Now the company is providing tips for making thinner 2-in-1 tablets.
At this week’s Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel suggested that the “sweet spot” for tablets with detachable keyboards is around 8 to 9.5mm (0.31″ – 0.37″) because at that point device makers can offer a good balance of compact design and decent performance.

Intel’s newest low-power Atom processors offer faster CPU and graphics performance than the Cherry Trail chips the company launched in 2015. Unfortunately you probably won’t see the new chips in tablets, laptops, or desktops anytime soon.
The chip maker is only talking about the new Intel Atom T5500 and T5700 chips this week because they’re at the heart of the new Intel Joule system-on-a-module that the company is releasing for IoT developers.
That means we may eventually see these chips powering smart home products, drones, robots, and other devices… but probably not tablets, phones, or PCs.
