-      Dual 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system  called Touch Pro Duo1, full color Head Up Display2, super-slim LED headlights, flush deployable door handles and burnished copper detailing offer a glimpse at design trends for future Range Rover models

I’ve had a few tech21 cases over the years, and they all follow the same basic design: a clear back with a pattern, plus a colored frame. The Pixel 2 versions use the exact same formula, and while the result isn’t bad, it’s certainly not worth the $39.99 (add $5 for the XL) tech21 charges.

If you do not know the exact value of each cost, you could enter an estimated percentage based on the cost of goods.

The room is about three thousand square feet, though its outsized reputation has led it to be described as “cavernous.” It ends in a glass wall, behind which stand three eight-foot-high computer-numerical-control (C.N.C.) milling machines that shape plastic and metal to produce models and prototype parts. When Ive designed the space, at the turn of the century, he wanted these machines to be as integrated into the studio as noise and dust pollution allowed. “They make physical objects, and that is what we’re doing,” he told me. Milling machines help turn a studio into a workshop; they reinforce Ive’s view that bad industrial design often starts in ignorance of what a material can and cannot do.

The Range Rover Velar and Velar R-Dynamic range comprises of four selectively available specifications including Standard, S, SE or HSE, with three powertrain options depending on trim. Customers can also specify Black and Premium Exterior Packs for an even more distinguished appearance.

LifeProof has been producing rugged and waterproof cases for longer than I remember. Back in the days of when only the most rugged-looking phones were water-resistant, they made a great business case for themselves, but with the recent influx of water-resistant devices, they’ve become a little less relevant. Nevertheless, because of the difference between water-resistance and waterproofing, the case might still be worth buying if you’re an extremely active person.

Boral TruExterior trim comes factory primed, and has a flat surface on one side and a wood-grain pattern on the other. Unlike wood, you don’t need to prime or seal end cuts. You will, however, have to paint it to maintain your warranty. It seems to take paint fine. Boral says to use a high-grade exterior paint, and there are no restrictions on color. My rep said you can paint it black if you want, and it won’t get hot and expand like some products. You don’t need to use adhesives with the product, but if you do want to caulk it, Boral recommends using exterior-grade acrylic caulks and adhesives before you paint.

To see how the two versions of the new Xplore XSLATE L10 perform compared to the B10 and Bobcat they are replacing, we ran our standard Passmark Software PerformanceTest 6.1, a suite of about 30 tests covering CPU, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, memory, and disk and then computes scores for each category and an overall PassMark score. The results are as follows:

He said most of the homes his firm works on are more than 50 years old and have detached garages, but that homeowners can still make simple changes to them — or change them dramatically.

Customers can also interact with the Velar remotely – from anywhere in the world. The InControl Remote app allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle, check how much fuel is in the tank or where the vehicle is parked using a smartphone or smartwatch. It’s even possible to start the engine and set the climate control system remotely.

I was also worried about the buttons, but the KerfCase’s buttons are some of the best I’ve used. From what I can tell, they’re just small wood pieces glued to the suede lining of the inside, but they work very well. They’re extremely easy to push and very tactile. Branding is minimal, with some small "KERF" text embossed into the right side. My only real qualm with the case is what you can see from the front; since the lip doesn’t go around the front, you can spot the lining (including where it ends) and some less refined-looking stuff inside. It’s just not something you’d want to see, but this is the consequence of a one-piece design. I have read some reports of the wood cracking when the case is dropped, but I don’t believe it’s a huge issue given the warranty. If you own this case, chances are you own another that you can use even if you have to send it in. And if the case isn’t repairable, KerfCase will offer 50% off a new one.

Back in the main room, Ive noted that he’d been watching “Moon Machines,” an old Discovery Channel series about the Apollo program. “There was the realization we needed to develop a spacesuit, but it was hard to even know what the goals should be,” he said. And then he linked the studio’s work to nasa’s: like the Apollo program, the creation of Apple products required “invention after invention after invention that you would never be conscious of, but that was necessary to do something that was new.” It was a tic that I came to recognize: self-promotion driven by fear that one’s self-effacement might be taken too literally. Even as Apple objects strive for effortlessness, there’s clearly a hope that the effort required—the “huge degree of care,” the years of investigations into new materials, the months spent enforcing cutting paths in Asian factories—will be acknowledged.
