André agreed to fetch, from his desk, something that he had been using as a coaster. Made of hard white ABS plastic—the material of Legos, and of thousands of Apple studio models a year—it was a disk punctured by evenly arranged holes. Or, as André put it, “There’s a hexagon pattern of negative shapes that are subtracted from the material from one side, and then there’s the same pattern, subtracted from the material from the other side. But it’s offset, so that the intersection between the two subtractions makes interesting shapes.” He rubbed it on his shirt, to remove coffee stains, before passing it to me.

There is, however, one big advance 8th generation ultra-low voltage mobile processors: they are for the first time available in quad-core configuration. Four cores, eight threads. Xplore jumped on that advance with their new L10, giving the platform a distinct processing edge over systems using earlier generation dual core CPUs.

MILAN — The lambent new tower of art galleries Rem Koolhaas and his Rotterdam-based firm, OMA, have designed for the Prada Foundation is a chameleon.

The big rectangular and wedge-shaped galleries, windows alternating between panoramas of the city and narrow views over the campus, accommodate best the large-scale works in the inaugural show, “Atlas.” It features Jeff Koons, Mona Hatoum, Michael Heizer and others. Check out the restaurant if you go. Works by Carsten Höller and Lucio Fontana are on permanent display.

Woodline cases come in American Cherry, Rosewood, Zebra and American Walnut, and cost $49.95 in various Amazon searches (unless you want the latter, in which case it’s $59.95). — John Brownlee

Nolan is also one of the only motorcycle helmet manufacturers that employs a vertically integrated manufacturing strategy. That is, almost every single part in a Nolan helmet is manufactured by Nolan at their facilities and not by a subcontractor.

It takes a lot of skill to apply a decal to the very complex curved surface of a motorcycle helmet and, of course, the surface must be perfectly prepared. The decal must be carefully applied and all of the air bubbles removed or the entire helmet will be ruined after it is painted.

The picture on the right was taken with our FLIR ONE Pro thermal imaging camera. It’s an infrared picture of the Pentium N4200 version (top) and the Core i7-8650U version both running the PassMark benchmark suite. The higher thermal load of the powerful Core processor is plainly obvious, as is the heat emanating from its fan vent. That’s the difference between a thermal design power of 6 watts and one of 15 watts.

The Plasma is an average to above-average case for the most part, with the exception of the power button. Unless you’re confident that you can hit the power button right in the middle every single time, I’d stay away. It’s not like it was a great value at $39.95, anyway. If you’re really looking for a rugged case in this price range, consider the Speck Presidio Grip instead.
