HP claims to have made the “world’s most powerful detachable.” The company is unveiling its ZBook X2 convertible at the Adobe Max conference today, which is appropriate since this device is designed for people who use Adobe’s pro software suite. Specifically, people who use apps like Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator and need a capable tablet that can keep up with demanding graphics editing on the go. I enjoyed doodling on the Zbook X2 during a recent demo, but I’m not sure its $ 1,749 asking price is justified. To be fair, of course, I didn’t use it as it was intended and I’m not the target audience.

What makes the ZBook X2 ideal for designers and illustrators is its advanced 14-inch 4K display. HP chemically treated the screen to give it a grippier, matte texture that felt smoother during my testing than regular glossy touchscreens. The anti-glare display is also color calibrated for accuracy and can render 100 percent of the Adobe RGB color spectrum. All of this makes the ZBook’s screen a brilliant canvas. I not only enjoyed seeing individual eyelashes of a man up close, but I also appreciated how smooth it felt to pinch and zoom in on images with the tablet.

The texturized screen also makes drawing a pleasant experience. HP includes a stylus with the ZBook X2 that it claims is its “most accurate and expressive” pen yet. The company teamed up with Wacom to make the digitizer, which can recognize 4,096 levels of pressure, as well as understand the angle at which you’re tilting it. My favorite thing about the pen is its dedicated eraser button at the top, which actually acts like a real eraser instead of simply undoing your last stroke when you tap on the screen. It was so realistic that I almost tried to brush away imaginary eraser dirt after using it to remove stripes on a pink background.

Since HP’s pen uses magnetic (EMR) technology instead of Bluetooth, it doesn’t need to be recharged; it draws power when it interacts with the screen. I sketched a cute cartoon of a girl under the word “Engadget” with the stylus and found it smoother and better at detecting pressure changes than others I’ve tested (mostly lower end offerings that accompany the Note tablets or phones).

I also appreciate that HP includes a full-size keyboard with the ZBook X2, although at this price I’d be appalled if it didn’t. The keyboard snaps on securely via a magnetic connection, but it takes the tablet a few seconds to sync, so I have to wait before typing. The keys are evenly spaced, with generous travel that makes typing comfortable. The touchpad was similarly responsive — it quickly recognized my two-finger scroll and zoom gestures. HP also offers a row of shortcut keys for functions like “Home,” “End,” “Page Up” and “Page Down” here, which make multitasking easier.

Speaking of shortcuts, the ZBook X2 features vertical rows of buttons on either side of the screen. Each column has up and down keys that can be programmed to tweak settings like brush size and opacity in apps like Adobe Photoshop. By default, they’ve been tailored to what HP and Adobe understand are the most popular tools in Photoshop and Lightroom. You can customize these to control system settings like volume or display brightness, too. During my testing, it was convenient to change the brush size just by pushing the up or down button mid-drawing instead of having to drag a slider in the app’s setting bar.

The ZBook X2 looks and feels as beefy as it purports to be. Its aluminum-and-magnesium body is significantly heavier than most tablets, and its 3.6-pound weight is greater than most laptops its size. If you count the ZBook X2’s keyboard, the entire device weighs 4.6 pounds, which is even heavier than the 15-inch MacBook Pro. That heft was manageable when I propped the ZBook X2 up on a table (with its built-in kickstand) but quickly became tiring when I sat with it cradled in one arm and drew with the other hand. You most likely won’t use it in this position as often, though.

The tablet’s cut-off corners and the vents on its side add a rugged aesthetic. Under the vents lie the device’s dual-fan cooling system. This helps prevent overheating of the X2’s powerful processors: a seventh-generation Intel Core i7 CPU that reaches a clock speed of 4.2GHz in Turbo Boost, along with an NVIDIA Quadro M620 graphics card. The tablet’s 32GB of RAM should also make for smooth multitasking even with multiple canvases open. In addition to premium internal components, the ZBook X2 also sports a slew of ports like USB-A, HDMI, Thunderbolt 3 and an SD card slot. To keep your investment safe from falls, the device is also designed to meet MIL-STD-810G durability standards.

The rest of the ZBook’s features are relatively straightforward. It has a fingerprint sensor and a 720p webcam that supports Windows Hello’s facial recognition technology for convenient logins. HP estimates the ZBook X2 can last up to 10 hours, and that it can recharge to 50 percent in 30 minutes.

That all adds up to a detachable that does indeed sound powerful, although to be fair I didn’t push the ZBook X2 very hard during my demo. The thing is, I have a hard time believing that even the most ardent Adobe fan will be willing to spend $ 1,749 just to get the better screen and pen in such a hulking tablet. Someone with such specific needs is probably already happy with their Wacom Bamboo desktop digitizer, and also possibly even prefers macOS over Windows. An iPad Pro or a Surface Pro may not be as powerful, nor will they offer the same dedicated shortcut buttons and comfortable keyboard that HP does, but Apple’s and Microsoft’s tablets are easier to tote around. The ZBook X2 will be available in December, so you can spend that time wondering if you need it, or start saving up if it’s something you want.

Morgan Stanley on Wednesday said that Starbucks’ stranglehold on the high-end coffee market is here to stay, despite some big names getting into the business.

“Given the increasing importance of super premium chains to the category, investors–both public and private–are paying closer attention,” analyst John Glass said in a note.

“Many of the high profile artisanal ‘Third Wave’ coffee brands have yet to develop significant footprints relative to Starbucks, and most highlighted here are highly concentrated in the Northeast or the West Coast.”

While they might not make a dent in Starbucks’ business just yet, Morgan Stanley is still keeping tabs on them. Nestle, after all, paid $ 500 million for a majority stake in Blue Bottle Coffee, even though the chain only has 40 locations.

Here are some of the smaller coffee brands Morgan Stanley thinks could be making headlines soon:

Feeling like you’re at the bottom of the food chain? Niche will show you the ways to bring your species to the top. Using real life genetics, you’ll take charge of your species and face off against your natural enemies, be it your predators, illnesses, or climate!

In this turn-based strategy game, you will control a member of a species and breed with others to create new genes. Your goal is to keep yourself alive, but in a different sense. You don’t just keep one animal alive, but rather a family line, doing so by breeding with partners with positive genetic traits, fostering a stronger, faster generation over time. You’ll be able to see real genetic traits in action for those who are curious about the science behind it all!

You’ll be up against three major opposing forces. The first is your natural predator, which you’ll have to breed against to be able to fend it off. You’ll have to create something much stronger to compete against this force! Another natural force would be the climate. Perhaps your species does not fare well in the cold, or perhaps it cannot swim well and there’s water everywhere. You have to plan for these long term changes, hoping for mates with better swimming abilities. You could even get caught by an illness plaguing the biome! Such a quick sickness could ruin your species, so you’d be wise to keep your clan strong against it.

With over 100 genes to explore and mutate, Niche offers up a hefty serving of play, education, and careful breeding!

You can purchase Niche on Steam here, GOG, or Humble Bundle! You can also check out the developer’s site, Twitter and Facebook.

Under threat from overfishing, pollution, fur-trapping and other human-induced hazards, these remarkable beasts cling on in niche environments.

One of the most perfect, for them and for nature film-makers like Charlie Hamilton-James, are the spring-fed rivers of Florida, stuffed with food and clear enough for extensive filming.

Charlie knows otters well, he even adopted a cub called Grace in 2007 and made a splendid TV series about it.

He was the first to admit however that observing these reclusive, elusive creatures was tricky.

Florida offered the opportunity for him to see the creatures as never before, up close, in clear water and at length.

They get under your skin in ways it’s hard to understand. On land they look sweet and furry, in the water, they glide as gracefully as fish.

At a refuge where three orphans were being prepared for release into the wild, head otter-warden Mark was struggling with his twin urges to love the creatures and to do the best thing for them. He imitated a mother otter’s soothing calls to calm them, he fed them chopped up fish and formula milk.

Later, he taught them to swim and hunt. The latter seems to come naturally but swimming, oddly, is something baby otters have to be nudged into learning.

Mark refused to give these orphans names. Doing that would encourage him to bond with them and if they bonded back they’d have no chance in the wild.

From the creatures’ extraordinary heat-trapping fur to their all-terrain design and their commendable team spirit, this film abounded in otter-based insights. It also told us something important about people, though. Naming is caring.

In the Romany spoken by British gypsies a hedgehog’s name is “pal of the bor”, or “brother of the hedge”. Naturalist Steve Backshall swapped the jungles and mountains for suburban Surrey where other folk have strong brotherly feelings towards the spiky creatures, too.

Meet The Hedgehogs (Channel 5) provided a surprising chance to meet Queen guitarist Brian May, whose home turf Windlesham has become Britain’s first hedgehog-friendly village. It would be fair to say that, from his PhD in astrophysics to his collection of early photographs and his self-built guitars, May is a man of many talents. He’s also adept at using his fame to help causes, such as our increasingly endangered brother of the hedge.

Threats include slug pellets, people giving them milk (poisonous!) and lawnmowers. Given that the hedgehog has been around since the sabre-toothed tiger, it seems unjust they should be wiped out because people want tidy lawns. It reminded us to treasure, not just the wildlife in our gardens but the people who devote so much to it.

Take Elaine of Lincolnshire, whose house had become a refuge for hedgehogs. She couldn’t explain why she liked them and admitted they gave no affection back.

If it seems like we live in a dog-eat-dog world, watch people like Elaine, getting up every two hours to feed an orphan hedgehog, or Monique, rubbing coconut oil into one who’d lost his spines. We humans are naturally wonderful too.
