2019 Mercedes G-Class looks vintage,but a killer voice


source-c-net

Mercedes-Benz has redefined the G-Wagen. On Sunday, it revealed the 2019 G550 during the Detroit Auto Show. While the exterior looks much the same as the big, boxy icon, it’s finally a remade vehicle with modern technology. Like your remodeled Palm Springs midcentury house, its up-to-date inside. That’s important, given that Mercedes’ most upmarket customers pick this car over any other SUV in their lineup. It’s a retro-looking unapologetic car that actually works in the modern-tech world.

When it comes to the interior UX, the 2019 G-Wagen has all the updated entertainment features, despite its classic rough exterior. Its voice assistant has two TFT screens, and makes it feel like a modern car on the inside, finally. The G-Wagen is still a style statement, and it is incredibly impractical if you live in the real world. This launch is an attempt to bring it more in line with its sedan, like the S-Class, the flagship vehicle.

Finally Mercedes-Benz  has in-car tech that incorporates voice assistance, and its a system that actually works. We tried out the MBUX voice assistant at CES in the A-Class prototype. It works as logically as Alexa.

It’s worth mentioning the G-Wagen, has off-road skill that most owners won’t use. Its skills reinforce the invincible image of the original G-Wagen, introduced nearly 40 years ago.

There’s more to come, in the AMG form, the high-performance marque of Mercedes. But here you have the ideal luxury SUV, to drive on your ski resort holiday.

HP Chromebox G2 has a Kaby Lake Core i7 and 16GB RAM

HP returns to the Chromebox. We saw some excellent Chromebooks in 2017, but the market for Chromeboxes has been much quieter. However, just in time for CES 2018, HP's announced its all-new Chromebox G2. For first impressions, the G2 doesn't look all that exciting. In fact, if you quickly glanced at the thing, you might mistake it for an Apple TV. On the outside of the G2 is a solid selection of ports, including a 3.5mm headphone jack, one USB Type-C, three USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI output, and one RJ-45 connector (not to mention a microSD slot). Take a peek inside the G2, and that's when you realize why you might want to consider buying the thing. You can choose to pick up a configuration with Intel's Celeron 3865U, but we'd recommend going with the Kaby Lake Core i5 (7300U) or i7 (8650U). The Celeron model ships with Intel HD Graphics 610, but going for either the i5 or i7 will bump you up to Intel UHD Graphics 620. You can get up to 16GB of DD...
