Today we look at the main reasons why your computer is not turned on and explain what to do if your Mac does not turn on.

So, if you Mac does not turn on, the reasons for it are two – you have a problem with display or a problem with the hardware. In both cases, it can be a miserable failure (which quickly resolved) or serious damage, because of which you will have to contact the service center.

If the problem is in the display you can check it simply.

Firstly, you should hear the sound of Mac startup, cooler operation, moreover, Caps Lock button should light up when you click on it. The computer is running, but you just do not see what is happening on the screen. If so, it is best to contact the experts, instead of makeshift attempts to correct the mistake yourself.

But sometimes it can be a problem with Mac “asleep”. I noticed that from time to time computer wakes up very hard and it needed some time to understand your intentions with respect to it. But we are talking about a few seconds, instead of the long period of time.

If you press Power button, but nothing happens, then the problem is with hardware. It is more problematic than the display, but there may be many causes which can be resolved without the intervention of engineers.

• Check the power cord. Sometimes the cord is disconnected from the computer, so it is not included.
• Broken outlet. Enough stupid situation, but possible – it seems that Mac is not charged, and the problem is not in it.
• Double-check the work of the charger – the problem is probably in it.
• The problem may be in a fully discharged battery – if it is completely discharged, it will take time to Mac a little charge before switching.
• Turn off all power-consuming accessories – mobile devices, USB-printer, and the rest devices. Perhaps they consume a lot of power.
• Try hard reset. Press and hold the Power button on Mac for 10 seconds and then reconnect the charger and try to run the device. Often it helps.
• If you have “upgrade” your Mac with new hardware – the problem may be in improper installation. Double-check that all is in place and is properly connected.

Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, ​​which starts tomorrow, February 22, began with a surprise from Huawei – Chinese company introduced computer. No, it’s not a joke, but only a slight exaggeration.

Huawei MateBook is a hybrid laptop and tablet with connected keyboard (like Microsoft Surface).

Keyboard is built into the leather case that protects a screen. There are four colors to choose from, including a very nice brown and orange. The device looks very original, but main question is: why company has released a tablet-transformer?

Everything is logical: the sale of such devices are growing. Especially on the background of falling demand for traditional laptops.

Features Huawei MateBook

Huawei MateBook is thinner and lighter than iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface 3 Pro. Fully metal body, fingerprint reader, battery capacity 4430 mAh.

Charger looks like traditional laptop charger in terms of power, but it weighs only 110 grams – almost as a charger for smartphone.

Huawei MateBook has a stylus. Tablet operates 2048 degrees of pressure sensitivity – you can comfortably draw cool pictures. Also Chinese company showed new application Autodesk for Windows.

The keyboard is almost analogue of Microsoft Surface. Keyboard has a pressed depth of 1.5 mm – as some of thin laptops.

What is the result? We’ve got another big tablet that can transform into a laptop by connected keyboard. It is worth noting that not many competitors in the market: Samsung and Microsoft. However, the Chinese device has one important advantage – stylus and opportunities to draw.

Well, I think that Huawei MateBook is more useful than iPad Pro. I like to work with Windows 10 and Intel processors. Besides the thickness of tablet is only 6.9 mm.

Modifications Huawei MateBook

As it usually happens with the devices on Windows, Huawei MateBook has several modifications. The simplest model of Huawei MateBook has Intel Core M3, 4GB RAM and 128GB of internal memory and price $699. The most expensive model of Huawei MateBook has Intel Core M7, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of flash memory and price $1599.

We agree that the price Huawei MateBook is high, but iPad Pro does not even dream about such specifications. What do you think about first Huawei computer?

The company will release hybrid tablet that can be converted into laptop with an external docking keyboard. The main feature of this device that the user can choose the operating system Microsoft Windows 10 or Google Android with the shell Huawei EMUI.

Hybrid laptop is a device that works as laptop and tablet. Typically, the tablet can be seen as a large smartphone, which is not designed for serious graphics load. While hybrid laptop is able to perform the full function computer or tablet, depending on the task. Today, hybrids are mostly based on Windows and Chrome OS. Huawei plans to release “two-faced” laptop that works on Windows 10 and Android with firm shell EMUI.

At the moment we do not know about hardware of hybrid laptop, but we do know that it will be made on the basis of the processor architecture x86,. It is not surprising, because tablet will support operating system Microsoft Windows 10.

We also know that the new product is likely to be presented at the upcoming exhibition MWC 2016, which traditionally will be held on February 22-25 in Barcelona.

If the rumors are true, then it seems that Huawei has decided to create products for new market segment – laptop market and hybrid devices. By the way, another Chinese manufacturer Cube plans to release compact laptop with operating system Remix OS, which is known to be developed on Android and Microsoft Windows 10. In addition, popular manufacturer Xiaomi plans to release laptop. It seems that Chinese manufacturers have decided to conquer the laptop market in 2016.

Acer H7 Series monitor

Let’s take a closer look at the world’s first monitor with support for USB-C interface from the company Acer.  You can connect monitor Acer to 12-inch MacBook without the use of an adapter HDMI. In addition, the laptop charges when connected to a monitor that will be an additional advantage for choosing a product from Acer.

Also, the monitor has ports HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort. It should be noted that Acer monitors are available in a golden color that is great for gold version of MacBook with a screen of 12-inches.

Griffin BreakSafe

The second product, which will be a great accessory for 12-inch MacBook is BreakSafe from the company Griffin. Connector works on the principle of magnetic connector MagSafe. As you know, 12-inch MacBook use one USB Type-C port. Apple decided to abandon the magnetic mount, which angered some potential buyers. BreakSafe solves this problem. The accessory consists of two parts: a small USB Type-C connector with magnet and cable for charging. When you use the connector, charging takes place without any additional action by the user. Also BreakSafe reduces the risk of falling computer with strong jerks wires, because magnets easy disconnected.
