HP launched a brand new budget friendly tablet with a 10-inch display and a nice set of specs to boot. The HP 10 Plus comes equipped with a 1920 x 1080 resolution 10-inch panel, an ARM Cortex A7 quad-core processor clocked at 1GHz, 2 GB of RAM, 5MP primary camera, 16 GB of internal storage memory and 7,700 mAh Li-ion battery. These might not be the best specs ever featured on a tablet, but they’re actually pretty decent all things considered, especially since you won’t have to pay an arm and a leg for this tablet. HP only charges $279.99 for the device and you can already purchase it either from the company’s own store or from Amazon.

The HP 10 Plus runs on the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system and features a variety of useful apps such as Skype, Google Street View, Youtube, Chrome, Gmail, Google Play and many more. That being said, the tablet does have a few drawbacks and is not particularly impressive in terms of performance. The processor seems to be its biggest weakness and the battery will only last for about 6 hours or so before you need to reach for the charger. Also, you will only get 16 GB of storage straight out of the box, which isn’t exactly a lot. On the bright side, the HP 10 Plus does feature a microSD card slot, so at least you have the option of adding addition storage memory if needed.

All in all, the HP 10 Plus looks like it could offer a pretty good bang for you buck. There are certainly other good 10-inch tablets out there, but its biggest competitor will most likely be the ASUS Memo Pad FHD.

To keep Apex Legends running for an additional “10 to 15 years,” Respawn opens a third studio

Apex Legends developer Respawn has created a third studio in order to keep the popular battle royale genre running for another “10 to 15 years”. Madison, Wisconsin is where the new studio is situated.

This third studio (the first two being headquartered in Los Angeles and Vancouver) will largely focus on Apex Legends in order to ensure a continuous and, most importantly, sustainable production pipeline. It may, however, contribute to other Respawn products in the future. Ryan Burnett, who previously served as director of engine production at Epic Games and had a distinguished 14-year career at Raven Software, the Call of Duty Studio, will serve as the studio’s head.

Senior VP of operations at Respawn, Daniel Suarez, claims in-depth in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz that “Because we intend to stick with this for the long haul, team health is unquestionably a top priority for us. We’re eager to see Apex become a franchise that endures for ten, fifteen, or more years because we think it will. We can’t just accomplish everything at once, exhaust ourselves, and be unprepared to do it over the long run.”

Consistency (as well as adequate production runway) are essential to make Apex Legends’ 90-day turnaround for new seasons of content realistic. Suarez observes that the introduction of new characters to the game takes a lot longer than you might anticipate “It takes us between a year and a year and a half to become proficient in a Legend. We are therefore making preparations well in advance.”

Only a few weeks ago, parent company EA fired more than 200 Apex Legends quality assurance testers in an impromptu Zoom call, raising concerns among some fans about the game’s future.

Do you support Respawn’s decision to open a third studio? Do you believe Apex Legends will still be around in 15 years?
