1. Xiaomi Could Pull a ‘Redmi’ With Its Windows Laptop in India
Xiaomi has been busy prepping up a slew of products in its laboratory, and most likely we might get to
see its first-ever Windows laptop. Reports suggest that the Chinese brand will take Apple’s cue by offering
a 11-inch and a 13-inch notebook.
Going by what they have managed to do with their phones in China and India over the past couple of years, we can’t wait to see how their laptops pan out. Fair to say that the brand will likely dish out products that will be powerful with its hardware, but at the same time priced for the masses.

2. What Apple Could Really Give Us with iPhone 7 in 2016
We’re getting closer to the launch of the supposed Apple iPhone 7 (surely it can’t be 8) and the internet sphere
is filled with rumors and leaks about the product.
This is basically the norm year-on-year but 2016 could be unlike any other for the Cupertino-based brand. Recent market analysis has indicated that Apple is losing its sheen when pitted against the Samsung Galaxy flagship phones.
Apple has a tough work on its hands to attract buyers this year, especially when their Android peers are offering better value with latest features.
So, what could Apple possibly do to retain its magic and make the iPhone 7 a success? Here’s all they (seem) to have in place for the iPhone 6S successor in 2016. Read the story here.

5. Review: Sony h.ear Wireless Headphones Offer Quiet Comfort
Ever since the days of the popular K550 series, Sony has been known for their audio quality. They even manage to deliver
quality sound on their Vaio laptops. But in 2016, they are offering audiophiles a whole new experience with the h.ear series.
The MDR-100abn, priced at around Rs 19,700, is the extension of their line-up, competing with giants like Bose, and even the luxury brand Bang & Olufsen. When it comes to music, don’t treat Sony like any other brand. But the question is, how good are they?
