Lenovo has collaborated with fashion visionary, Marmar Halim, and Dubai’s leading fashion school, FAD Institute of Luxury Fashion and Style, to help inspire and empower the next generation of designers to bridge the gap between fashion and technology with the new Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. As part of a wider campaign named #BeTheCreator, Lenovo offered three exceptional students from FAD the incredible opportunity to be mentored by Marmar Halim, as they crafted three distinct outfits inspired by the Lenovo Yoga design philosophy.

The outfits took inspiration from the Lenovo Yoga design ethos, creating a beautiful harmony between fashion, sustainability, and technology. The designed outfits were then revealed and showcased at an intimate event, held at Dubai Design District in Marmar Halim’s atelier.

Commenting on the collaboration, the General Manager for Lenovo GULF, Mohammed Hilili, said, “Empowering the next generation to create and innovate has always been part of Lenovo’s core values. Through our game-changing collaboration with Marmar Halim and FAD Institute, we are revolutionizing the landscape where technology meets fashion. Our Yoga lineup, particularly the Yoga Book 9i, is more than just a device; it’s an invitation to consume, create, and collaborate on your own terms. The exceptional designs crafted by the students under Marmar Halim’s mentorship bring this vision to life. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to these young visionaries and look forward to continuing to innovate to empower more people to express themselves through technology.”

Marmar Halim further added, “I truly applaud Lenovo for this initiative and was very excited to see the potential in future generations come out through today’s digital platforms. The designs that were created through this campaign are a testament to how technology can be used to further inspire the creative visionaries of the future.”

The event also showcased Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i, which aims to drive expression and creativity powered by inspiration, performance, sustainability, versatility, and portability. The Yoga Book 9i (13″ Intel), Carbon Neutral Certified, ENERGY STAR rated, and EPEAT Gold registered, has plastic-free packaging using paper board cushioning, paper-made system bag, and FSCTM-certified paper wrap. It’s also built with 90% recycled plastic in the power adapter case and 100% recycled aluminium in the top cover.

Microsoft Unveils a Sleek New Design for Windows Hello

Published

on

Microsoft is significantly upgrading Windows Hello, its facial and fingerprint recognition authentication system, in Windows 11. This revamped experience, now in beta testing with Windows Insiders, features a fresh look, new icons, and improved passkey functionality.

In this episode of GV Weekly Tech Update, Rysha Media’s Zack Zorro and Alison Osborne speak about the new features of Windows Hello!

The new UI will be visible not only on the Windows 11 login screen but also when using passkeys to access websites and apps. The Windows team explains that this redesign aims to create a cleaner, more intuitive experience for secure and swift authentication. Users will be able to effortlessly switch between authentication options and select passkeys or devices.

While Microsoft currently supports passkeys in Windows 11, the existing experience, involving QR code scanning and an outdated UI, can be cumbersome. The new sign-in UI for passkeys and Microsoft account authentication will greatly enhance this process.

Microsoft has also introduced a new API for third-party password and passkey managers. This API enables developers to integrate directly with the modern Windows Hello experience, allowing Windows 11 users to authenticate with apps and websites on their PC using passkeys from a mobile device. Additionally, users can save passkeys to third-party apps or sync them to their Microsoft account.

This new Windows Hello experience is being tested in the Windows 11 beta channel (23H2) and is expected to roll out to the dev channel (24H2) soon. It’s anticipated that all Windows 11 users will have access to this updated UI in the coming months.

Additionally, the new Veriton NUC Series supports the multi-screen configuration, allowing up to three displays to be connected simultaneously. This functionality is particularly appreciated in certain sectors where comparing different images or graphs is essential, such as in the medical, financial or engineering fields.

The new Veriton NUC Series integrates the Wi-Fi 6E module that supports speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps, nearly 3 times faster than the 3.5 Gbps speed of Wi-Fi 5, improving performance and reliability.
