The new Acer TravelMate P6 promises a 20-hour battery life

Acer is giving mobile workers a sturdy new laptop to work with. The TravelMate P6 promises solid performance and a really long battery life. The company is pegging this will have a 20-hour battery life. It’s covered in magnesium alloy and remains non-descript, which is ideal for more buttoned-up corporate settings. It’s a 14-inch machine that’s just 0.65 inches thick. And with MIL-SPEC certification, it can handle a bit of roughing up as you lug it around.

When it comes to security, it has an integrated fingerprint reader and web cam with built-in shutter. Aside from an exceptionally long battery life, you can charge it up to 50 percent in 20 minutes or reach 100 percent in around two hours.

Disney is working with the ‘Chef’s Table’ team to produce non-fiction shows for Disney+

In case you were wondering what else we could expect from Disney’s streaming service, it won’t all be limited to Disney properties. The company signed a two-year deal with the Supper Club, the creators of Chef’s Table, for non-fiction content—and no, it won’t be limited to food-related shows. One of the titles the Supper Club is working on is called Marvel 616 (a working title). It’s an anthology documentary show that ties Marvel’s comic book universe and its creators to their historical and cultural contexts. Another is Earthkeepers (also a working title). This documentary series focuses on conservationists and the animals they’re trying to protect and preserve. We don’t have a premiere date yet for either shows, but it is something to look forward to once the service launches.
