7 APPLE WWDC 2017 ANNOUNCEMENTS: HOMEPOD, NEW IPAD PRO, AND MORE

Apple finally unveiled its Amazon Echo and Google Home competitor at WWDC 2017, along with new iPad and iMacs. Beyond those major hardware reveals, the company also detailed iOS 11, WatchOS 4 and Amazon Prime coming to Apple TV.
Read on for more of the seven biggest reveals at WWDC 2017, and for more from the show, check out the Monument Valley 2 announcement.
Apple Watch isn't getting left out when it comes to operating system improvements. WatchOS 4 will bring a new Siri watch face to the device, along with Toy Story faces as well. The Workout and Music apps will get upgraded too. WatchOS 4 is set to launch later this year.

Finally, Amazon Prime Video will be available on Apple TV later this year. That means you can watch series like Transparent and Catastrophe on the device, along with all the other streaming shows and movies.
HomePod is Apple's official foray into the smart speaker market. Coming out this December for $349, the HomePod is a wireless speaker sporting an A8 chip. That means the device works as an assistant as well, utilizing Siri. Apple also said the speaker can sense the size of a room, playing music to fit the space accordingly.
Apple revealed two new versions of the iPad Pro: one is 10.5 inches, while the other is 12.9. They have redesigned Retina displays, with a 120Hz refresh rate. And Apple Pencil works even better with them, as there's only a 20-millisecond latency. A new 64-bit A10X Fusion chip powers the new iPad Pro. The 10.5-inch device starts at $649, while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro begins at $799. Available for ordering right now, they will officially arrive next week.
Apple's mobile operating system will see an upgrade in the third quarter of this year. For iPad, iOS 11 will introduce a customizable dock for the tablet. There's also a new Files app to manage your stuff. Apple also claims moving images and text will become more streamlined with drag and drop. Meanwhile, Apple is making an augmented reality push with iOS 11 across iPads and iPhones. Called ARKit, the company believes this will let developers "tap into the latest computer vision technologies to build detailed and compelling virtual content on top of real-world scenes for interactive gaming, immersive shopping experiences, industrial design and more." On iPhones, iOS 11 will also bring friend payment functionality through Apple Pay. You can send cash to a friend or family member though Messages, similar to something like Venmo. There's also a Do Not Disturb While Driving mode that activates when the device thinks you're behind the wheel. This will stop your iPhone from giving you certain updates at this time
Other recent Apple upgrades came in the form of changes to the company's iPad line and a Red iPhone 7 earlier this year, as well as the introduction of a new indie games App Store section to celebrate some of the new and previously released games in the iOS library.

Check PC Performance in Windows 10 Using WinSAT Tool

Check PC Performance in Windows 10 Using WinSAT Tool Older versions of the Windows operating system like Windows Vista and Windows 7 used to have an experience index in the system properties which displayed how powerful your system really is in terms of hardware. It would assess your computer’s graphics, hard disks, CPU, memory and other things to give it a score from 0.0 to 10.0. Hardly any computer got a score of 10.0, but you could increase this score by adding or installing much more powerful components. For example, an Intel Core 2 Duo PC can be made to get a better score by upgrading the motherboard and the CPU to Intel Core i5. But this experience index score was removed in Windows 10. Yet the command line tool that analyzes your PC’s hardware is still included in the recent builds of Windows 10. This command line tool is called WinSATand you can use it to find your system score just like in the older versions of Windows. Here is how: for video tutorial click the link b...
