New Surface Pros are on the horizon as per Keyboard Cover leak

Microsoft is on a roll at least in terms of new hardware releases. Just weeks after it surprised the world with its Surface Laptop running Windows 10 S, the company is expected to launch updated Surface Books at an event they're holding in China.

Surface honcho Panos Panay shared a photo of new Surface Type Covers on Twitter, hinting at what is to come. Early reports say that the new Surface Book 5 line will remain mostly unchanged from the Surface Pro models but may feature updated specs and capacities but still no USB Type-C ports, which is unfortunate. We'll be waiting for the latest from Microsoft as it comes down the pipe.

Review: insta360 nano 360 camera for iPhone

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

As a reporter who needs to cover various events and who is constantly taking pictures of products. I'm always on the lookout for new cameras, recorders and equipment and tools that can improve my content and help me capture the essence of stories.

360' cameras were initially so expensive (and the quality of their video and photo was so poor), that I avoided them.
