The Apple Clips video app is finally getting its most-requested feature: different aspect ratios. At its core, Clips is still what it was at the beginning: a very clever way to quickly string together short videos into a little shareable movie. The included music tracks still automatically customize themselves to the length of a video.
percent screen-to-body ratio, while this year’s clocks in at 90 percent. The screen is also brighter than its predecessor’s (321 nits as tested, to last year’s 300 nits) with great colors and contrast, though its 16:9 aspect ratio is a bit cramped. (That logo is now at the top of the keyboard deck.) Last year’s model had an 86.4
A big part of that is the display: the 2020 Envy has an 88 percent screen-to-body ratio, compared to 79 percent on last year’s model. There, you can swap between presets for Music, Movie, and Voice, as well as equalizer settings for different tunes. This is the nicest-looking Envy I’ve ever seen.
The Tab S7 Plus, in particular, provides the best movie watching experience you can hold in your hands. My only gripe with either display is that they have 16:10 aspect ratios and therefore a much smaller surface area than their iPad Pro counterparts. I have to press the Fn key every time I want to pause music or adjust the volume.
If you’re looking for an affordable Netflix machine, the Spin is a great candidate — especially given its movie-friendly 16:9 aspect ratio. The Chromebook delivered decent volume — certainly enough to fill a room — but percussion was tinny as I listened to music, and you can forget about bass entirely.
The 9i comes preloaded with Dolby Atmos Speaker System software, where you can swap between presets for Movie, Music, Game, and Voice as well as personalized profiles and a dynamic mode that detects your content and adjusts the audio accordingly. These do make a difference — namely, the Music mode brings the vocals out more.
Aspect ratio aside, the screen on this device is quite good. The device comes preloaded with Dolby Access, which you can use to switch between equalizer presets for games, movies, music, and voice calls, as well as custom profiles. There are four 360-degree far-field microphones as well.
The TV also supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Google Assistant, and most major streaming apps, meaning you won’t need extra hardware to access all your favorite movies and TV shows. Lenovo’s Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop with a 16-inch 16:10 aspect ratio screen is back in stock (perhaps, for a limited time) at Walmart.
Once you provide your name, email address and date of birth, 222 has you answer roughly 30 Myers-Briggs-type questions covering topics from movie, music and cereal preferences to political views and religious affiliation. 222’s onboarding survey. Image Credits: 222.
This includes playing music, showing weather reports, streaming video, controlling smart home gadgets, telling fart jokes, all the stuff you’ve come to rely on Alexa for. One downside, however, is the 16:9 ratio of the screen means you get two black bars when watching widescreen movies.
If you have a terrible attention span during movies, it’s also good for scrolling through Twitter or checking IMDb to figure out what TV show that actor was in while watching Netflix, although the second small display is hard to use for any overly complex tasks due to its size and nearly square aspect ratio.

One of my first jobs in tech 1,000 years ago was as “Text Production Lead” on a music encyclopedia CD-ROM (Google it, kids). My big takeaway is this: currently there are very sophisticated predictive analytics being used to recommend movies and serve up ads. Foundation Center has been working on automating much of this work.
percent screen-to-body ratio. Say hello to the 16:10 aspect ratio, another welcome addition to the XPS 15. Music sounded good, and the 3D feature made a noticeable difference. I got eight hours out of a standard 1080p video rundown test, but I doubt that many people are buying a $2,300 laptop just to loop movies.).
While the screen loses luminance when you aren’t looking at it straight-on, the colors and contrast mostly hold up, so watching a movie or gaming with a buddy on the couch should be fine. For music, I preferred the sound quality with the setting off. It has a peak brightness of 300 nits, which is bright enough for indoor use.
Then when we go back into next holiday, which we’re already thinking about with supply chain and build, we’re already in that framing, trying to look at what we think our ratio should be between the two. Which isn’t true in video and music today. You should root for success. It makes you happier. Maybe they do.
If you’re looking for a QHD 165Hz display with a 16:10 aspect ratio (which allows Asus to cram a 16-incher into a chassis that’s not much bigger than most 15-inch gaming laptops), the Zephyrus M16 is one of few places you’ll find it. So the Intel-based M16 is already fighting an uphill battle when it comes to value. It’s mostly the screen.
Rhode Island has opened up movie theaters, restaurants, museums, and daycare centers — not because Governor Gina Raimondo is ignoring the risks of the novel coronavirus, but because she is actually controlling for them.
