HP Chromebook

HP’s newly unveiled Chromebook is the first version powered by an Intel processor based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The result? Dramatically extended battery life, more dazzling graphics and lower running temperatures — meaning smaller internal fans, less noise, and thinner, lighter computers. The compact design features a 14-inch WLED BrightView screen and a gateway to Google Chrome apps like Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive and Google+ Hangouts for multiperson video chat, as well as 100GB of included Google Drive online storage. Headturning colors include Ocean Turquoise and Coral Peach, and the starting price is a Christmas miracle. From $299.99.

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately.
