As most of us are aware, the value of an item begins to decline as soon as it is purchased. This is especially true for electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, tablets and fitness bands just to name a few.  So which electronic gadgets depreciated the least this year in 2022? Trends reveal that certain electronic devices retain their worth substantially better than others. This occurs for a variety of reasons, including the demand a product generates and the brand's trust and reputation.Which Electronic Gadgets Depreciated The LeastSellCell, the leading price comparison site for tech products in the United States, has released its 2022 Annual Tech Value Report, which examines the resale value of new or recently launched tech and compares it to the MSRP, providing valuable insight into the market leaders (and those brands which lag behind) with regard to value retention.Due to its advantageous position, SellCell can provide a precise and rigorous valuation of technology, as it has access to resale pricing from 40+ tech buyers. Since its inception, SellCell has studied price data from this variety of buyback providers to estimate the current resale value. SellCell solely monitors prices from official independent buyback sellers, eliminating any grey-market price inflation and thereby reflecting a device's true value.Most electronic devices have the most rapid depreciation in the first two months after release. After this point, gadgets will not recover much, if any, of their value and will instead experience a sluggish drop over the next twelve months. In terms of the future worth of a device, the first two months, therefore, establish the benchmark. This research provides insight into the most rapidly and slowly depreciating technologies since their introduction.Main Takeaway About This Depreciation ReportSony's PS5 Digital Edition has had the slowest depreciation since its release 18 months ago. With a value decline of only 8.0 per cent and a monthly average depreciation of 0.4%, Sony is in a strong position.Microsoft is also seeing success. The Series X has only lost 21.0% of its value since its introduction, or an average of 1.2% per month. The Series S is not far behind, losing 31,4% of its MSRP at launch, or 1.7% each month.In seven months, the Nintendo Switch OLED's depreciation rate of 31.4% is identical to that of the Xbox Series S. However, Nintendo's 4.5% monthly depreciation portrays a different image.Regarding cellphones, Apple's iPhone 13 lineup performs the best, with an average depreciation rate of only 27.5% across all models. This amounts to a monthly depreciation rate of only 3.4% on average.In terms of value retention, Apple's iPhone SE 2022 edition disappoints with an abnormally high depreciation rate of 47.1% (an average of 23.6% in the two months since its release).With only seven months under its belt, Google's Pixel 6 has depreciated by an average of 48.5% across all smartphones, with a monthly decline of 6.9%. Nonetheless, this is not the poorest performing handset.Samsung's S22 series is the worst-performing smartphone lineup, with a depreciation rate of 51.6% in only three months since launch, averaging a horrifying 17.2% monthly fall in value.Apple essentially dominates the tablet market, with its best-performing iPad Pro 11 3rd Gen (2021) losing 42.3% since its debut 12 months ago or 3.5% per month.As with the iPhone SE 2022, the iPad Air 5th Gen (2022) exhibits terrible value retention, having lost 32.1% of its value in the two months since its launch, or an average of 16.0% per month.Since its release barely two months ago, the value of Samsung's Galaxy Tab S8 has dropped by a staggering 65.4%.In the war of wearables, Apple's Watch Series 7 has depreciated by 58.2% over seven months (8.3% per month) since its release. In nine months, the value of the Samsung Watch 4 declined by 76.0 % (8.4% per month). Thus, an almost identical monthly performance for both parties.Summary of Electronic Gadgets DepreciationSellCell evaluated the data to determine which electronic devices had the best overall performance in the months following their individual debuts. Note that, for the sake of this research, SellCell has analysed values for electronic devices in like-new condition from over 40 reputable buyback suppliers.The table above illustrates some of the most and least effective technologies of the past 18 months. Given SellCell's prior research on value retention in the smartphone market, some of the results shown here are quite predicted, but there are also a few surprises.Even 18 months after its release, the PS5 has experienced a total depreciation of only 8.1% or a $30 decline in value. This may come as a surprise to some. However, is this truly so shocking? As with every other tech company, Sony had semiconductor shortages, transportation problems, and a variety of other concerns during the COVID crisis.Sony, on the other hand, released a system mid-COVID, which, due to the aforementioned challenges, resulted in limited availability at launch. The result of this is greater demand, especially considering the console shortage. Sony is still not matching this demand, hence the PS5's resale value remains extremely high.Microsoft's Xbox Series X and S cannot compete with Sony. The Series X, which has likewise been on the market for 18 months, has lost 21.0% of its initial launch value, while the Series S has lost 31.4%. Given the length of time that has transpired since launch, we may still consider this a favourable outcome for Microsoft.The Nintendo ship appears to be sinking the quickest among the three major consoles. It debuted the Switch OLED last year, and despite being only seven months old, its value has decreased by an unimpressive 31.4%. While you may compare this to the Series S, keep in mind that Microsoft's digital-only console has 11 months on the Switch OLED, making the Switch OLED the worst performer month-to-month.Game Consoles Have The Most Retention ValuesBy delving deeper into the monthly numbers, we can determine the respective strengths and weaknesses of each brand. This is where the curveballs appear, with unexpected outcomes.The consoles have been covered, but what about smartphones? As expected based on SellCell's prior study on smartphone value retention, the iPhone 13 series ranks highest in terms of value retention, as it has since its introduction. In eight months, the iPhone 13 has only lost 27.5% of its value across all models, demonstrating that purchasing an iPhone is a prudent investment.Given the sustained success of the iPhone 13 lineup, now may be a good time to consider trading in your iPhone 13 if you've decided it's not for you or if you've discovered a device you'd rather use as your daily driver. The easiest method to obtain the highest price for your iPhone is to sell it as soon as possible, as its worth will continue to decline in the future.Compare this performance to that of Samsung, and you will see the difference. In the three months that the S22 range has been offered, its models have lost an average of 51,6% of their value, or 17.2% per month.In spite of this, the 2022 iPhone SE has performed poorly since its launch two months ago, shedding 47.1% (an average of 23.6% over the past two months) of its initial launch value. If there is insufficient demand, values will plunge, and it appears that the most recent version of the iPhone SE has not fared as well as Apple had planned in comparison to earlier iPhone models.Sony is rarely mentioned in smartphone analyses of this nature. Nevertheless, the brand reappears in this data with the Xperia 1 III. It may have depreciated by 68.5%, but this is an average monthly depreciation of 7.6%, which is not horrible considering Apple and Samsung dominate the smartphone industry.The Pixel 6 has not fared much better, shedding 48.5% of its value over seven months, or 6.9% per month. If Samsung's S22 range continues to decline, it may be valued less than the Xperia 1 III at the same point in its life cycle, seven months after its release. So that you can see just how close this competition is. Sony has scheduled a June release date for the upcoming Xperia 1 IV, which may result in a stronger release.Tablets tell a similar tale. The Pro 11 (3rd Gen), the Pro 12.9 (5th Gen), and the Mini (6th Gen) iPads released by Apple in 2021 have performed well since their release, losing only 42.3%, 45.3%, and 35.2% of their values, respectively. Unfortunately, the 2022 iPad Air 5th Gen has not been as successful. The fact that the latest Apple tablet lost 32,1 per cent of its value in just two months demonstrates that demand was lacking and places it in second place behind the Mini (6th Gen), a tablet that is six months older.Watches also make an appearance. The Galaxy Watch 4 has lost an average of 8.4 per cent of its value per month since its release, while the Apple Watch Series 7 has lost an average of 8.3 per cent per month.More Depreciation Over The Next 12 MonthsGiven that Sony is in a solid position with its PS5, if not its prior Xperia 1 III, perhaps it can pull a rabbit out of the hat with the Xperia 1 IV, although it won't match the PlayStation 5's performance in terms of value retention.Despite the comparatively poor performance of the iPhone SE 2022 and iPad Air (Gen 5), Apple continues to dominate the smartphone and tablet industries, with its flagship devices storming the rough sea of smartphones, Apple riding the crest of that specific wave.As you can see, though, electronic devices lose their value rapidly, with few exceptions. Therefore, if you want to sell your phone or any other piece of technology, it will always be in your best interest to move swiftly, as the value will continue to decrease with each passing day.


Everyone! Meet Midea Xiaowei-the Robot Butler For Your Home. Midea, one of China's largest makers of electrical appliances, unveils the Xiaowei. It is the first iteration of the company's home service robot that can recognise faces. It is also equipped with its own projector so that it can play movies for you at home. The General Manager of the Midea AI Innovation Center, Dr Tang Jian, expects that Xiaowei will make family life easier and more convenient.Midea Xiaowei-Robot Butler For Your HomeXiaowei is approximately one metre tall and has a screen face to show you her "adorable facial traits." It can also access smart home equipment and Internet of Things devices. When Xiaowei detects that a family member is returning home, for instance, it can turn on the lights and the air conditioner in advance. So everything can be automated even more, right?So, how does the robot waiter know who is returning home? Face and body monitoring technology allows Xiaowei to recognise family members the moment they arrive at home. I wonder how accurate is the capability of this robot butler.Dr Tang Introduced Xiaowei To The WorldMidea claims that you can command the robot to keep an eye on events and assist with domestic item delivery, remote monitoring, and safety patrol. As aforementioned, Xiaowei features its own built-in projector, allowing you to utilise it as a mobile theatre, entertainment centre, or interactive play space.Xiaowei Can Project Movies For You!In addition, Xiaowei's built-in 3D camera can scan your home in all directions, it can perform autonomous mapping, and can recognise object qualities. You may use your voice to direct your robot butler to "go to the sofa," and it will understand and comply. That's one smart robot if you ask me! Dr Tang stated that the robot is anticipated to create a trend in home care. The integration of advanced technology, particularly artificial intelligence, will be improved.Will Robot Butler Be Our Future?It is anticipated that Xiaowei would be introduced in the second half of 2022 under Midea's independent brand Wishug. Dr Tang anticipates that domestic robots, like smartphones and alternative energy cars, will "become a necessity for families." Will a robot butler like this Midea Xiaowei become something very normal in the future? Time will tell. However, this really reminds me of the film I, Robot starring Will Smith where robots retaliated against humans!


Xiaomi RedmiBook 15 Arrives in Malaysia

Behold: Xiaomi RedmiBook 15 arrives in Malaysia, finally. Although they were never officially offered in Malaysia, Xiaomi's lineup of laptops has gained considerable popularity among Malaysians. This meant that they could only be acquired from online dealers and not directly from Xiaomi (outside Malaysia). The good news is that Xiaomi Malaysia has announced the official launching of the RedmiBook 15 series on our shores, finally right?Xiaomi RedmiBook 15 Arrives in MalaysiaThe RedmiBook 15 Malaysia is now available in Malaysia beginning from the 6th of June 2022. Xiaomi has decided to offer RedmiBook 15 in two distinct configurations:2 Xiaomi RedmiBook 15 Variants:RedmiBook 15, Core i3-1115G4, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSDRedmiBook 15, Core i5-11300H, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSDThey will be available for purchase from the official Xiaomi stores on Lazada and Shopee, in addition to their physical locations located throughout the country. If you purchase them between the 6th and 30th of June, you'll also be able to obtain them at a cheaper price, and purchases made at physical Xiaomi stores will also come with a free Mi Casual backpack valued at RM69.Get a FREE Mi Casual BackpackThe RedmiBook 15 features a 15.6-inch, FHD IPS anti-glare display that, according to Xiaomi, offers DC Dimming to prevent flickering at low light levels. The laptop's chassis is a metal body that weighs 1.8kg and measures 19.9mm in thickness. Here, there is only one colour option available, Charcoal Gray.RedmiBook 15 Sports a 15.6-inch Anti-Glare DisplaySo you can use RedmiBook 15 for long hours of work and playThe aforementioned 11th Generation Intel Core CPUs, the Intel Core i3-1115G4 and Intel Core i5-11300H, are housed within the chassis. The Core i3 chip in this series is from the less powerful U-series, whereas the Core i5 chip is from the more capable H35 series. This is a bit odd. The Core i5 variant includes 512GB of SSD storage and Intel Iris Xe graphics, while the Core i3 model has 256GB of SSD storage and Intel UHD graphics. Both models include 8GB of DDR4 RAM.Xiaomi RedmiBook 15 DesignIt has a thickness of 19.9mmA 46Wh battery rated for up to 10 hours of power life is currently keeping the lights on. Xiaomi also claims that the included charger should be able to recharge the battery to 50 percent in 33 minutes. Sadly, the charging port on this device is not USB-C. In fact, USB-C port appears to be absent on the RedmiBook 15. A USB 2.0 port, two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI 1.4 port, an Ethernet port, a microSD card reader, a Kensington lock slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack are all that are available.Xiaomi RedmiBook 15 Specs and FeaturesXiaomi RedmiBook 15 Promo PricesRedmiBook 15, Core i3-1115G4, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD – RM1,899 RM2,377RedmiBook 15, Core i5-11300H, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD – RM2,499 RM2,799Overall, the RedmiBook 15 seems out of place in the current local laptop environment but the price tags will be tempting for sure. The Core i5 model is plainly more capable than the Core i3 model, but the Core i3 model's discounted pricing makes it enticing as well. In this price range, it will likely compete with the Honor MagicBook X15, MagicBook 14, and Huawei MateBook D15. However, it is missing a lot of features, like USB-C connectors and wireless charging, as well as WiFi 6 connection. For more information, visit Xiaomi's official stores on Shopee and Lazada.

Realme has a number of special edition gadgets, and this time they are releasing the Realme X Naruto Special Edition Smartphone. If you are a Naruto fan like me, immediately you would have noticed the striking headband metal badge for the camera clusters, right? In addition to featuring additional design aspects that pay respect to the manga series, the special edition smartphone also includes a Naruto scroll bag. Yes! The iconic scroll bag! OMG!Realme X Naruto Special Edition SmartphoneThe Realme X Naruto Special Edition Smartphone makes its debut in China today (May 26, 2022). Realme has already revealed several images of the new collector bundle prior to its debut. So fans are really, really excited about the release of this Naruto-themed smartphone. However, it will be ideal if this collaboration is unleashed in Japan instead.The Partially Concealed Realme X Naruto smartphone!The camera bump on the gadget itself is covered by a metal-looking plate that spans the entire width. Yeah! So this is the metal plate that appears on the headband of all the ninjas. You'll notice a Konohagakure-representing leaf symbol and Realme x Naruto branding directly beneath it. I have yet to get a glimpse of the remainder of the exterior. Hopefully, it will be equally as good as the camera bump, right? Guess we will find out real soon.Who Doesn't Want a Naruto-themed Smartphone?The ninja scroll bag is likely the most intriguing aspect of the limited edition kit. It is unclear whether this is a bag that can be used to carry little stuff, like a mini duffel bag. Especially with its leather-like texture and straps, it appears quite nice. I do hope that it is waterproof and durable like my HyperGear duffel bag. Then, this will be cool and pragmatic merchandise!Realme X Naruto Duffel BagI wonder if it is waterproofThe Realme X Naruto Special Edition Smartphone appears to be based on the Realme GT Neo 3 that was announced in China and India a few months ago. The GT Neo 3 sports a huge 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen. It comes with a relatively good 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is powered by a 5nm Mediatek Dimensity 8100 5G chip that can be configured with as much as 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.This Naruto-themed Smartphone is Based on Realme GT Neo 3As for photography, the main camera on the GT Neo 3 is equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor, while an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2MP macro camera are also included. Flip it to the front and you will get a tiny cutout with a 16-megapixel selfie camera. In addition to stereo speakers, the device supports Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos. Surely, you can binge-watch all your naruto animes and movies here.Are you a Naruto Fan?The smartphone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that enables 80W SuperDart rapid charging over USB-C. Realme says that the included 80W charger can charge the phone from 0 to 50 per cent in just 12 minutes. Intriguingly, there is apparently a model that enables an even more ridiculous 150W SuperDart charge, which is said to achieve a 50 per cent charge in under 5 minutes. However, the 150W variant's battery capacity is reduced to 4,500mAh. In India, the gadget ships preinstalled with Android 12 and the Realme UI 3.0 skin.Is This The "Real" Realme X Naruto Smartphone?What say you?Unfortunately, the Realme X Naruto Special Edition Smartphone looks to be China-exclusive for the time being. I do hope that we can somehow import this to Malaysia, right? In China, the basic GT Neo 3 costs CNY 1,999 (about RM1,399) for the 80W configuration with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The more expensive 150W model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at CNY 2,599. (about RM1,799). Oh my! Both the models are freaking cheap for a Naruto-themed smartphone. I need one!Images source: Digital Trends


Pokemon X Samsung Galaxy Buds 2

Another partnership between the Pokemon franchise and the South Korean technology giant Samsung is now underway. This time it is the Pokemon X Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. This comes after the announcement of you guessed it-Samsung X Pokemon Galaxy Z Flip 3. Though for this partnership for TWS earbuds, the collaboration is somewhat limited if you ask me. However, I am sure Pokemon will still be happy to see their favourite pocket monsters around.Pokemon X Samsung Galaxy Buds 2Unlike the Galaxy Z Flip 3 smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are not themed, which is a significant missed opportunity. Instead, it receives a Poke Ball-themed case for its original Galaxy Buds 2 casing.Not only is this another missed chance, but it is also quite impractical. This is because opening the Poke Ball does not reveal the earbuds' case. You actually have to open another case (which is the Galaxy Buds 2 original case) first before you can get your earbuds. Something similar to the Razer Hammerhead Pikachu edition, where the original case has been replaced with a Poke Ball, would have made more sense. Perhaps this has been a design error on Samsung's part or just a sloppy copy-and-paste job by the designers?This Collaboration Feels IncompleteThe fact that the sole Poke Ball option is the standard one is a further squandered opportunity. It would have been desirable to have other upgrade variations, such as the Great or Ultra Balls. Those who purchase the special edition Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 can still select from the five original colours contained within the Poke Ball.You Have to Open 2 Cases to Get Your EarbudsAlong with the Poke Ball, purchasers will also receive a random Pokemon sticker. These include, among others, Pikachu, the three Kanto starters, and Mew. As I have aforementioned, this might be the merchandise that Pokemon fans should kinda lay off due to the extent of the collaboration. Getting an impractical Poke Ball together with a slapped sticker is not doing the Pokemon justice, no?You Get Stickers For Your Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 CaseThe Pokemon special edition of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 is listed with a price of KRW134000 (RM469) on the company's Korean website. Despite the fact that the item is displayed and priced, it is not yet available. Even if they become available, the likelihood is that they will sell out immediately. Additionally, it is unclear if this will be made accessible elsewhere in the future, but it is likely that it will be limited to the brand's native market. Do you want to get this Pokemon X Samsung Galaxy Buds 2?


In the USA, FAA registration is not required because DJI's Mini drones have long struck the ideal mix between technology and weight. DJI Mini 3 Pro has unbelievably been incorporated with tonnes of autonomous intelligence while still tipping the scale at under 250 grams. It is official that DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone comes with better cameras and gimbal. This new mini drone retains the company's legacy of regulation compliance while gaining additional clever features from its much larger 4K quadcopters.DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone Comes With Better Cameras and GimbalDJI Mini 3 Pro possesses a revised appearance compared to previous generations, with larger propellers and a more aerodynamic body tilt, but it retains the same tiny size, folding arms, and 249-gram weight that has always been its primary selling points. This means that it is still incredibly portable, allowing you to travel with a compact drone that offers high-end functionality traditionally associated with much larger models.Better Cameras For 4K Video at 60fpsThe DJI Mini 3 Pro is equipped with a bigger 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor and an 82.1-degree field-of-view lens, allowing it to capture 4K video at 60 fps and 48MP stills. It provides 4K HDR recording, however, this reduces the maximum frame rate to 30 fps. However, if you need HDR's more immersive colours, you have the choice to use them. The camera is linked with a redesigned three-axis gimbal that has the same stabilisation capabilities as its predecessors and can spin a full 90 degrees, allowing you to take the film from a portrait angle that is excellent for social media.Capture 48MP Still PhotosIt keeps the same safety and autonomous shooting features as its predecessor, so it should be just as simple to operate. It is now equipped with forward, backward, and downward-pointing sensors that allow it to detect impediments in three directions, allowing it to not only identify potential obstructions in its route but also autonomously avoid them using the Advanced Pilot Assistance System. These sensors will also allow the quadcopter to track a subject and maintain it centred in the frame, resulting in a more intelligent aerial photography quad.DJI Mini 3 Pro Flight Time DurationExtend Your Flight Time With Optional BatteryAdditionally, the DJI Mini 3 Pro increases the flying time from 31 minutes to 34 minutes, letting you capture more footage between charges. This time around, they are also selling a larger alternative battery that can extend the flying time to 47 minutes. It also increases the working range to 7.5 miles, allowing you to fly the drone further than before.DJI RC For Complete Droning ExperienceThe DJI RC is a new remote controller with a built-in 5.5-inch touchscreen. It is not strictly a component of the Mini 3, but it is another significant update. There is no need to mount your phone to the controller, as the touchscreen runs the same DJI Fly software as your phone, allowing you to select shooting modes, plan flight paths, and manage practically every aspect of the drone. Obviously, it's designed to operate with the Mini 3 out of the box, so if you're planning on purchasing the drone, you'll want to get one.DJI Mini 3 Pro is Pocket-FriendlyIt weighs less than 249 grams!Watch DJI Mini 3 Pro in ActionWith its highly pocketable size, the DJI Mini 3 Pro is definitely the leading mini drone in its class. With amazing innovations, better camera sensors and much-improved gimbal, it is difficult to find another mini drone to compete against it. The DJI Mini 3 Pro is now available with a price tag of $669 (RM2999) without the new DJI RC. A complete package with the latest DJI RC will cost you $909 (RM4,000) but it will be money well spent. For more information, head over to DJI's official website.


We all have got a wake-up call since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, we know that the air we breathe is very important to our well-being, health and even our very survival. That is why I believe the Dyson Air Purifier Cool Formaldehyde review I will be sharing is vital to help us to be more aware of the quality of air around us, especially when we are in the comfort of our homes.Dyson Air Purifier Cool Formaldehyde ReviewIf previously we Malaysians only need to be worried about the nagging haze and open burning, we now face an even more hazardous problem in our air-Covid-19 virus. This notorious virus will wreak on our life, and if worse comes to worst, we could end up dying. It is an irony that the air we breathe in could be fatal to our life! This is where Dyson Air Purifier Cool Formaldehyde comes into the picture.Let's Unbox Our New Dyson Air PurifierBehold our new gleaming white golden Dyson Purifier Cool FormaldehydeAs the saying goes, "Your home is your castle!" Hence, it is supposed to be the most comfortable and safest place for us and our beloved family members to be. Imagine if you were to return home and your clothes might have been stained with some harmful airborne virus or bacteria; If you do not have an air purifier to cleanse the dirty air you have brought home, then you are putting everyone in your family at grave risk. What if the virus you brought home caused someone to die *touch wood*?Capture Dust, Allergens and 99.9% of VirusesHow good is this Dyson Air Purifier in purifying your air? For the record, its HEPA H13 filter can capture 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. On top of that, its 360-degree omnidirectional filter ensures that nothing can escape from being filtered.  So bye-bye to airborne viruses or anything that is detrimental to our health. The presence of a layer of activated carbon will also effectively remove odours and gases which include VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound) such as dicholobenzene, ethanol and acetone just to name a few. Now you don't have to be worried about anything tagging you along to enter your home.Remove Cancer-causing Formaldehyde ContinuouslyPerhaps you are not aware of it but Formaldehyde is one of the most common VOCs that is found inside our household. Formaldehyde is cancer-causing and you will be surprised to know that it is already living amongst us. This carcinogenic gas comes from manufactured wood products such as your brand new furniture (sofa sets, divans and bed frames, laminate flooring, etc), fabrics (bedsheets etc), and household products in the forms of glues, dishwashing liquids and fabric softeners just to name a few. That's shocking, no?Formaldehyde is an odourless and colourless gas which lurks insidiously around us. The main way we are exposed to this harmful gas is by inhaling it. Hence, it makes perfect sense that we need to purify the air inside our house. Introducing Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde which will continuously trap and breaks down formaldehyde molecules into water and carbon dioxide, rendering it harmless.Formaldehyde-removing Filter Lasts a LifetimeThe Dyson Air Purifier Cool Formaldehyde uses a solid-state sensor to detect formaldehyde molecules – 500 times smaller than 0.1 microns. Then the dedicated formaldehyde-removing filter, known as the Selective Catalytic Oxidation (SCO) filter, will specifically target formaldehyde and destroy it at the molecular level. Unlike other air purifiers, the SCO filter used by Dyson can last permanently to remove Formaldehyde without ever needing a replacement! That's very impressive if you ask me.Purifying The Air in Your Whole Huge RoomNo disrespect to any other air purifier brands, however, most of them could only purify the immediate air around the machine or at best a small room. Dyson Air Purifier Cool Formaldehyde on the other hand could purify all the air in a huge 81m3 (5.2m x 5.2m x3m) room. To put that into perspective, the room will come with 5.2 metres of length, 5.2 metres of width and a height of 3 metres. You could easily fit 6 queen-size beds in that 81m3 room with walking space to spare! So that's really huge and roomy (no pun intended)!Thanks to its amazing Air Multiplier Technology, the air inside an enormous room as big as the aforementioned one can be purified. The air in the room will be circulated to draw any pollutants into the Dyson Air Purifier. No allergens, pollutants or viruses can hide in the "far sides" of the room. Then purified air will be projected throughout the whole room, providing us with clean air to breathe in, especially when we are sleeping and resting. This has been rigorously tested and proven to ensure that we really get clean, purified air no matter where we are in the room.Sleek, Sexy Timeless DesignI thought my previous Nickel Black Dyson Air Purifier was already darn beautiful! How wrong was I! This new Golden White Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde is definitely one of the most beautiful air purifiers I have seen so far. In glossy white and beaming gold colours, this combination really exudes so much class and opulence. Its presence will definitely elevate any room it is in be it your living room, bedroom, or study room just to name a few. Who says an air purifier cannot be beautiful, right? I dare you to show me a better-looking air purifier.Real-time Monitoring LCDHow do you know if your air purifier is really filtering the air around you? That's when you need an integrated screen to show you the necessary information that you need. The built-in sensors will continuously analyse the quality of your air and display the accurate readings live on the LCD. So you will get to know what the air you are breathing in better. What can you see on the LCD display?Live air qualityAir Quality in the past 24 hoursPM 2.5 (Particulate Matter 2.5 micrometre and smaller)PM 10 (Particulate Matter 10 micrometres and smaller)HCHO (Formaldehyde)VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide)TemperatureHumidityFan speed (1-10)Filter sustainability levelOscillation Mode (45°, 90°, 180°, 350° or none)Cooling or Diffusing ModeNight ModeBesides understanding more about the air quality around us, we can also know the temperature and the humidity level and even the sustainability of the filters that we are using. Moreover, the LCD display also serves as a screen for us to control our Dyson air purifier. Together with the included remote control, you can easily see the changes made to the fan speed level, the oscillation modes, switching from cooling to diffusing and vice versa as well as activating silent mode for night sleepers. I love how intuitive and informative the LCD is.Fully Sealed HEPA H13 Air PurifierDo you know this latest Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde meets the distinguished HEPA H13 standard? It is not just the filters, but the whole machine is now HEPA H13-certified. This is definitely a huge upgrade compared to the previous model. Meaning whatever allergens, pollutants or viruses go in will stay inside the Dyson Air Purifier permanently. You do not want your air purifier to be leaking the supposedly trapped harmful pollutants, right?Cooling You With 350° of OscillationIn Malaysia, the sweltering weather can be unbearable at times. Luckily, we get to enjoy cooling purified air that can be projected around the room thanks to its different oscillation modes of up to 350°. Be it 45°, 90°, 180°, 350° or none, enjoy your cooling, purified air from Dyson Air Purifier Cool Formaldehyde the way you want it. You can also opt to only divert airflow through the back of the air purifier without the cooling air via the Diffused Mode.Magnetised Golden Remote ControlIf you have had a Dyson Air Purifier before, you would have known that its remote is one of the coolest things about it. I love how gorgeous our Golden remote is this time around. It still retains its curvy shape and of course, it is magnetised to help you secure it on top of the air purifier. I love how thoughtful this design is and that means you will not be misplacing this remote too often. Not when it is magnetised and is golden in colour!Dyson Link App ControlDo you know that you can also control your Dyson Air Purifier just by using the Dyson Link App? You can easily monitor the air quality from virtually anywhere even if you are not at home. Having said so, this app can also replace your remote control to do virtually everything. In other words, it is a carbon copy of your magnetised golden remote control. The best part is, that anyone if your household can install this app. So you will have multiple "remote controls" at your disposal. So that means I can purify the air inside my house even before I am home.Night Mode + 20% QuieterThere is also Night Mode should you want to place this in your bedroom. When this mode is activated, the air purifier will be switched to the quietest settings as well as dimming the LCD display to let you have a more restful sleep. Dyson's engineers have also made this latest version of air purifier to be 20% quieter compared to its predecessor, so you will not even notice while it is busy purifying the air around you.Watch Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde Quick ReviewVERDICT: Should I Get Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde?Frankly speaking, the Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde is definitely one of the best air purifiers in its class. Its ability to purify your air and get rid of 99.95% of allergens, pollutants and viruses is second to none. When you take into account all the cutting-edge technology (LCD, HEPA 13 filters, App control etc.), you cannot deny that it is one of the leading premium air purifiers. With extra attention given to the cancer-causing formaldehyde, this is the air purifier that every family needs. In fact, I honestly feel that it is worth its weight in good for its relatively affordable price tag of RM3,299. For more information, head over to Dyson's official website.Protect Your Family and Let Them Breathe In Fresh, Purified Air!Each Dyson Air Purifier Cool Formaldehyde comes with 2 years of warranty.

Inlab Senz Projector Review-Tried and Tested

Your next TV might not be a TV-All you need is This to make "Senz". This is another piece of tech that just blew my mind away. And I believe a lot of people out there don't really know it well either. Usually, when we say tech and gadget, we think of smartphones, computers, pads, or even a Smart TV. But a Smart PROJECTOR is totally another cave that we really don't seem to explore much. But it deserves a heads up too! With that being said, today we will look at this amazing smart projector - INLAB Senz Projector.Why INLAB Senz?You might not understand why now. Don’t worry, me either, I was confused about why I need a projector when I can have a TV. But until I met the INLAB Senz Projector, everything I had in my mind changed. Rest assured, if you follow along and read until the end, everything will make “Senz”.But before that, I will need to show you what exactly INLAB Senz is. So you could understand better.The INLAB SenzINLAB Senz Projector is a smart LED projector that comes with Android OS. It is much more convenient than a typical projector that you usually hear or see from classrooms, lecture halls, grand halls, meeting rooms and so on.Let’s look at the physical build first, shall we? No doubt, INLAB Senz looks perfectly minimal and nice. I am already in love at first glance. Not only that, the build quality is robust and it is almost impossible to break the INLAB Senz case even though it is made out of plastic. The hard plastic does not bring down the premiumness, as it has no plasticky feels at all.Furthermore, thanks to the minimal design on the INLAB Senz, it looks just nice on any kind of setup, and easily matches around. The gigantic focusing knob with a power button is the hella signature of INLAB Senz, which is super recognizable and unique. Most importantly, INLAB Senz is much more compact compared to a Smart TV. I thought a home cinema projector is supposed to be a giant power eater. But I am wrong! By looking at the photo it just took 1/10 of my desk space.What makes INLAB Senz so special?Unlike a TV, INLAB Senz just needs a minute or two to complete the setting and start enjoying it. As simple as that. Step 1 to step 5 provided in the user manual is super handy, and everyone is able to do it without any hassle.How To Set Up Inlab Senz ProjectorStep 1: Get your distance correct.Step 2: Get your focus right.Step 3: Get your keystone right.Step 4: Open your favorite app.Step 5: EnjoyJust like a Smart TV, INLAB Senz projects natively 1080P (but supports up to 4K) videos/images with no problem at all. The sharpness, brightness and clarity of the projector are completely insane on this small little beast. And it consumed less power compared to a TV.With INLAB Senz, it brings your cinema experience to the next level while maintaining your comfort to the max. Why? You asked. Try to imagine that you’re bringing the same GSC/TGV cinema experience back to your home. Yes, you hear me right, INLAB Senz can optimally project out 100-120 inches of the screen, do you know how big that is? And how much will it cost to own a 100 inches TV? Let me tell you, it ranges from RM10K to RM100K, depending on the brand. CRAZY, right?Guess what? With the Android OS built-in, I can now access all the well-known TV applications with a tap of a button. All the applications like YouTube, Netflix, Disney Hotstar+, IQIYI and 100+ more applications can be installed from the Play Store Application.Pre-installed Apps For Inlab Senz ProjectorSounds Very Troublesome?You might think of the inconvenience of connectivity a projector has. No worries, INLAB Senz provides a huge variety of connectivity both wired and wireless. Users can still connect to their own source with ease. With ease, I am saying for example:HDMI that works with laptop/PC, TV Stick, PlayStation console, and Nintendo Switch console;USB that works with, pendrive, portable harddrive, external harddisk;3.5MM headphone jack that works with earphones, headphones, and external speakers;Wireless mirroring that works with both iOS and Android OS smartphones;Bluetooth that works with external wireless earphones, headphones, and external speakers wirelessly.Often people hear that Projector's performance will be instantly killed by the bright lighting condition. But INLAB Senz is totally a game-changer. It has 7000 Lumens which could easily overkill all lighting conditions that normal users usually have.Dim:Full dark:That's it?No! INLAB Senz not only has a crisp image but also has a TRI-Speaker that is a Dolby Atmos-certified sound system. Clear high & trebles, beautiful mid, and low & deep base. Cool, right? Amazing projection and a super damn good speaker built into the projector. Such an invincible combination, what else do you need? Apa lagi you mau?What’s more, INLAB Senz has electronic focusing and keystones that can be either adjusted from the remote or the big knob. The focusing works smooth like butter, with no weird or chopping mechanism sound while adjusting. I really appreciate the stepping tactile feedback from the rotation of the knob, so I can easily know when I should go fast and when I should go slow. And with that, I can stop at the focus range I want without going anywhere.ConclusionLast but not least, the price. As mentioned, a 100 inches TV ranges from RM10K - RM100K. Even a usual 45-inch Smart TV already costs around RM2K plus-minus. What if I tell you that INLAB Senz can be optimal from 100-120 inches but will only cost you RM1199 (PROMO) including shipping.Watch Inlab Senz Projector in ActionHence, I think the answer is pretty noticeable now. With all the above incredible features that INLAB Senz provided, it is hard to say no, right? Unless you’re nuts! For more information, head over to Inlab's official website.


If you asked me if a smartphone could be used entirely to shoot a movie, I would have been laughing. But not anymore. Not after watching this terrifying Thai Horror Movie-Those That Follow, which is shot entirely using iPhone 13 Pro. There will be English subtitles available so do not be worried. On another note, this successful short Thailand movie shows that anyone can shoot a high-quality movie as long as they have the flagship smartphone from Apple. Thai Horror Movie-Those That Follow Shot Entirely Using iPhone 13 ProSince the quality of smartphones' cameras has steadily improved, they are now being used in the filmmaking process by directors and producers. Cameras of smartphones are not so advanced to the point where they are able to create entire works using only their phone's lenses.Behind The Movie Scenes Using iPhone 13 ProSo now all you need is an iPhone 13 Pro?I want to disagree, but even I have to concede that Apple iPhone 13 Pro has the best video camera in its class at the moment. Apple has been working hard to remind everyone just how impressive its cinematic video mode is. Since then, the efforts have resulted in the creation of a Thai horror short film directed by Parkpoom Wongpoom. He is a genius who has made a name for himself through previous epic ghost movies such as Shutter (2004) and Alone (2006). I have watched both of these films multiple times!Parkpoom Wongpoom Shooting Those That Follow MovieNo adequate lighting, no problem!Parkpoom Wongpoom had collaborated with Apple on a 20-minute short film called Those That Follow. This chilling ghost movie is based on a true story about two teenagers who were involved in a robbery gone awry and were trying to avoid detection at a local ghost mask festival. Eventually, the teens discover in the most horrifying way that there really is no hiding from your sins, with the film highlighting the local belief of "Phi Ta Khon", or ghosts following people. I didn't know there was such a tradition, so the whole movie is quite interesting at the same time.Phi Ta Khon Festival in ThailandLooks like a masquerade party, no?For the first time in nearly four years, Parkpoom is back in the director's chair with this feature film. As aforementioned, he shot Those That Follow entirely on an iPhone 13 Pro in Cinematic mode (which allows for focus point switching in post-production). Parkpoom hopes that his latest creation is able to inspire future filmmakers to shoot their own films.Those That Follow Thai Ghost Movie is Based on a True StoryYou cannot run away from your sins.There were low light conditions, and Parkpoom used iPhone 13 Pro Ultra Wide lenses with larger apertures. This combination allows him to achieve a film that has that chilling, eerie quality comparable to the best horror productions shot in Loei province (home of the Phi Ta Khon festival). You will agree when you watch this short horror movie as well.Brilliant Directing by ParkpoomCapturing every detail vividly with iPhone 13 ProParkpoom said that the iPhone 13 Pro's ability to capture low-light images allowed his team to hide scary elements and ghosts in the shadows without sacrificing the overall quality of the footage. I guess we have to take his words for it, no? After watching this whole short movie, I cannot help but agree that Apple iPhone 13 Pro is indeed a capable smartphone when it comes to film-making!The Ending of the Movie is ChillingI told you so!However, Parkpoom has been instrumental in ensuring that his horror movie Those That Follow will be a masterpiece in its own league, thanks to his directing and camera angles positions. The storytelling and plot were flawless too, breathing life into the whole movie. So are you ready to watch this 22-minute long horror ghost movie? It will be worth your time.Watch Thai Horror Movie-Those That Follow Directed by ParkpoomWhat do you think? Out of 10 stars, I could really give around 7 or 8 stars for Those That Follow, which had been shot entirely using iPhone 13 Pro. This short Thai ghost movie is in fact, better than tonnes of other run-of-the-mill ghost movies without genuine intent and storytelling. So are you ready to shoot your own short movies as well?

There is already a good vertical mouse from Logitech called the MX Vertical, which was released back in 2018. It was made to give people more advanced ergonomics. People with small hands can't use that mouse because it's too big. Behold the Logitech Lift mouse which is the ergonomic mouse that people with smaller hands will love. Yes! This is the smaller version of the Logitech MX Vertical and it is called the Lift.Logitech Lift Mouse-The Ergonomic Mouse That You NeedAs I have aforementioned, Logitech Lift Mouse is made for people with small and medium-sized hands. It has the same upright design as the MX Vertical, but in a smaller size, which should work better for people with smaller hands. To stop wishing you could use the same mouse as the big guy in the next terminal, you and your small hands now have the same ergonomic mouse. You don't have to stretch your fingers with every left and right-click.The ergonomic mouse for people with small and medium-sized handsThe Logitech Lift is a vertical mouse that requires you to wrap your hand around its angled upright frame, which is very different from how you usually use a mouse. People who wear this outfit say the mouse's 57-degree angle forces their hands into a "natural handshake position," which is more comfortable and reduces muscle strain right away. That means your wrist and hand will be less tired over the course of the day than if you used a traditional mouse for the same amount of time.Is Logitech Lift the Best Mouse For Ergonomics and Comfort?When you buy this, you get a mouse that has traditional mouse controls on one side. On the other side is a thumb rest and two small thumb buttons (both customizable). The right-handed version of the mouse has the main controls on the right side, while the left-handed version has them on the left. This means that the mouse isn't ambidextrous, which means that you have to get the exact orientation you need for the task at hand.Logitech Lift Mouse Is Available in 3 Different ColoursWhich is your favourite colour?The Logitech Lift has an optical tracker that you can change the sensitivity of. Do you know you can also adjust how responsive you want your mouse to be? You can increase 100dpi at a time to switch from 400 to 4,000 dpi. Bluetooth LE or the Logi Bolt dongle can be used to connect wirelessly, so you don't have to deal with a lot of wires while you work. It also only needs a single AA battery to run. AA batteries can last for up to 24 months of "moderate" use if they're kept fresh, the company says.Watch Logitech Lift Mouse in ActionHowever, even though the mouse isn't called "MX" or "MX+," the same thing happens. It can still connect to up 3 devices, so you can switch the mouse controls between 3 different machines with a button press. Mouse: It should be able to run on any computer that has a Windows computer, a Mac computer, a Chrome computer, an iPad computer, an Android computer, and even some phones. It's 2.8 x 2.7 x 4.25 inches tall, wide, and deep. It weighs 4.4 ounces. Logitech Lift can be yours with a price tag of $69.99 (RM299). For more information, head over to Logitech's official website.


For those who love taking selfies and are always limited by the length of your arm or your camera lens, then you will need Pixy-the self-flying selfie drone from Snap. Officially unveiled by Snap, Pixy is like your personal assistant to snap all your selfies. You can think of it as your Tinkerbell of pixie who will be accompanying you all the time.Pixy-The Self-flying Selfie Drone from SnapYou can see Pixy's chassis, which is made up of four fans. It's small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand. In the words of its creators, Pixy was supposed to follow its user, take pictures and capture videos, and then deliver them to the Snapchat app. Snap hopes that people would use the drone to create video selfies instead of holding their phones, which is what it expects them to do with it.Pixy is your very own personal assistant!At the very least, since changing its name to Snap and releasing the Spectacles, Pixy is the first physical product from the company. With a 115-degree lens, Snap is capable of taking amazing pictures and videos that will be worthy of your social media feeds. I thought it is pretty snazzy to have your own mini "fairy" to help you record your important videos.Pixy Drone will Snap Photos and Record Videos For You!Hands-free experience for content creators!With a full charge, the Pixy's battery should be able to deliver five to eight flights, each lasting approximately 10 to 20 seconds. In addition, Snap sells a dual-battery charger for $50 (RM220) in addition to the individual batteries, which cost $20 (RM89). In addition to its small size, the drone is also extremely light, weighing only 101g. So it will be very pocketable and mobile, allowing you to bring it around quite conveniently.Pixy Only Has 16GB of Storage and No SD Card SlotOn paper, Pixy's camera is also capable of recording up to 100 films and capturing 1000 images. All these photos and video clips will then be saved on Pixy's 16GB internal memory. It is a shame that only 16GB of internal storage is included. The company should be more generous with the available space and unfortunately, it appears that there is no SD card slot. Another drawback is the absence of a controller. Yupe! Pixy will be shadowing you even without you commanding it to do so with a joystick.Watch How Pixy Help You Snap Photos and Record VideosThe Snap Pixy is currently on sale online in the United States and France for a retail price of US$229 (RM999). Snap has yet to announce whether or not this eye-catching mini drone will be available on the global market at the time of this writing. Do you think it will be available in Malaysia? Will you get this yellow mini drone without a controller and expandable storage? Do you think that Pixy-the flying self-flying selfie drone from Snap will be a hit or a miss?

Samsung is offering the Galaxy Z Flip 3 another limited edition makeover, but this time in collaboration with Pokémon, rather than another fancy fashion company. Behold the adorable Samsung X Pokemon Galaxy Z Flip 3 for you to catch them all. It is obvious that these mythical Pokemon are really a magnet for collaborations, right?Samsung X Pokemon Galaxy Z Flip 3 Limited Edition MainSamsung and The Pokémon Company are teaming up to create a limited-edition Galaxy Z Flip 3. Numerous phone manufacturers release limited edition phones on a regular basis. These phones are frequently associated with pop culture and are typically available in limited quantities at a premium price.Pokemon Fans Are Rejoicing Right Now!This must have been an unbeliveable news for manyWhen Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 3 in 2021, it included a Thom Browne Edition. Soon after, it worked with South Korean menswear brand Wooyoungmi to create a limited-edition Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphones. Additionally, it launched a Bespoke Edition that allowed buyers to choose the colours of the phone beyond the basic possibilities given at launch.How Much Can You Personalize the New Galaxy Z Flip?The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the world's best-selling foldable smartphone, and its popularity is poised to skyrocket. Samsung's Korean website announced the debut of a Pokémon Edition on April 25. The tech behemoth has launched a webpage in anticipation of the phone's debut, which details all of the intriguing stuff included in the special edition package. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Pokémon Edition will join a small number of limited edition variants introduced since the phone's introduction in 2021.Which Pokemon Will You Choose?Samsung looks to be reserving customizations for its relationship with The Pokémon Company to merely accessories. According to the microsite, the phone will arrive packaged in a red box alongside a variety of Pokémon-themed accessories and goodies. Unfortunately, the phone itself lacks further personalization, as it is only available in the Phantom Black colouring. Those who do have the opportunity to acquire it, however, may anticipate being greeted by a customised Pokémon theme replete with icons and wallpapers when powering it on.Complete Set of Pokemon Accessories For Your Galaxy Z Flip 3Do you like it?Additionally, users will be able to modify the exterior of the phone with the use of the accompanying accessories. There is a Clear Cover that can be fitted to a Ring Case that contains two Pikachu-themed accessories. Additionally, the box includes a pop socket designed like a Poké Ball, a purse inspired after Pokémon, a key holder shaped like Pikachu's lightning-shaped tail, and a collection of Pokémon cards. Samsung could offer these accessories separately if it wasn't attempting to maximise profits by selling a limited edition. Unfortunately, no information on the Galaxy Z Flip Pokémon Edition's price or availability outside of South Korea is available at the moment. I believe it will come with a price tag of US$999 (RM4,199). What say you? For more information, head over to Samsung's official website.


Dyson Tips on How To Prepare and Clean for Hari Raya 2022

With Hari Raya just around the corner, many families would
soon get busy preparing their homes for gatherings, while others are preparing
for Balik Kampung, which may be a long drive home for some.Dyson Tips on How To Prepare and Clean for Hari Raya
Whether it is getting your car ready for the journey, spring
cleaning homes for the celebration, or even getting style-ready to meet friends
and families again, there is plenty to be done! While it can be difficult to
know where to start, here is a Dyson guide to creating a clean space and hair
tips for the upcoming celebrations.
From using cord-free vacuums for a deep clean to ensuring
cleaner air quality, there is a Dyson technology for every occasion. A full list
of Ramadan featured deals is here.
Freshen up your car interiors for that long Balik Kampung
journey. Car interiors can get dirty quickly. As well as looking unsightly,
leaving cars uncleaned can impact our well-being as dust, allergens, and mould
can thrive in the right conditions. Cleaning the inside of your car is actually
an easy process with the lightweight and powerful Dyson Digital Slim™ FluffyExtra cordless vacuum and the right attachments.How To Freshen Up Your Car Interior
1) Before starting to vacuum, open all the car doors for
ventilation, prepare a rubbish or recycling bag for waste disposal, and remove any loose items of
rubbish. Finally, remove floor mats from the footwells and place them somewhere clean and dry.
2) Start with the seats and use the Light Pipe Crevice tool
to illuminate dark and tight spaces and vacuum along the seams of seats, as
close to the stitching as possible. Pay special attention to the seam where the
back meets the seat bottom as a surprising amount of dirt and debris can gather
here, such as forgotten crumbs and invisible dirt. Repeat this process with the
side pockets in the car doors.
3) Next, click on the Mini-motorised tool and slowly vacuum
the upholstery on the seats, removing any loose debris and invisible
dust and allergens that can gather in soft furnishings. Use the 'Boost' mode on
your vacuum for extra power.
4) Use your Combination tool with the soft nylon bristles
extended to remove dust and dirt from the car body. Gently vacuum the dashboard
and between the vents. Use a damp cloth to gently remove any marks or stains on
the dashboard, leaving it to dry thoroughly.
5) Finally, move your attention to the flooring and floor
mats, and use the Mini-motorised tool to tackle any areas of stubborn dirt, as
the stiff nylon bristles will help scrub off dried dirt.
Deep clean your carpets and hard floors
Fibres in carpets and rugs can hide fine dust and dirt and harbour microscopic life - such as dust mites, mould, and allergens.
Likewise, your hard floors could accumulate fine dust that is difficult to see
with your naked eye. Even if your hard floors and carpet do not look visibly
dirty, remember to vacuum it before your friends and family gather this Hari
Raya.
How to Clean Carpets and Vacuums
Efficiently with the Right Dyson Attachments:
1) While it may seem like an effort to change tools
mid-vacuum, this will help remove dust you can see and dust you can't. Use
a Reach Under tool to clean hard to reach places around the edge of the carpet or the Direct Drive Cleaner head to remove dust buried in thick pile rugs.
2) Vacuum slowly. Vacuuming slowly gives the airflow and
brush bar more time to "agitate" the dust and dirt between the carpet
fibres and remove them entirely. It also means you're more likely to capture
invisible allergens hidden deep in the carpet pile.
3) Go over the same spot - but not too often. More passes
over an area will give the machine the best chance of cleaning the carpet well, but
any more than two or three times gives a minimal increase, according to our
research in the laboratory.
4) A vacuum like the powerful, intelligent and compact Dyson
V12 Detect Slim Total Clean can provide assurance of a deep clean for hard
floors and carpets, as laser dust detection reveals dust particles invisible to
the eye, with a precisely-angled green laser integrated into a Fluffy cleaner
head, along with Acoustic Dust Sensing technology - so you don't miss a thing.
The Dyson Digital Slim™ Fluffy Extra is priced at a special
offer of RM2,299, while the Dyson V12 Detect Slim™ Total Clean is priced at
RM3,599. Both cord-free vacuums are exclusively available from www.dyson.my and
Dyson Demo Stores nationwide.
How To Purify Your Indoor Air at HomeWhether you are cooking a feast or inviting friends and
relatives over for gatherings, we cannot neglect our indoor air quality.
Certified asthma and allergy friendly by Allergy Standards
Limited, the Dyson Purifier Cool™ Formaldehyde captures viruses, allergens and
dust and destroys formaldehyde continuously, all while projecting purified air
across the room.
Dyson Purifier Cool™ Formaldehyde air purifiers not only
sense formaldehyde with their intelligent solid-state sensor, but they also
destroy it using Dyson's Selective Catalytic Oxidisation (SCO) filter. Some formaldehyde
sensors are gel-based, so can dry out over time, causing the precision and
performance of the sensor to deteriorate. Dyson's formaldehyde sensor is
solid-state and so doesn't dry out, lasting the lifetime of the machine.
Equipped with sophisticated air quality sensors tested
against POLAR test standards, the purifier features a fully-sealed filtration
system, combined with an activated carbon filter to remove gases and a Glass
HEPA filter that captures 99.95% of microscopic allergens and pollutants as
small as 0.1 microns, including allergens, bacteria, pollen and mould.
Additionally, users can receive real-time live indoor air quality reports on
an LCD display and the Dyson Link app.
The Dyson Purifier Cool™ Formaldehyde is priced at RM3,199
and is exclusively available from www.dyson.my and Dyson Demo Stores

Samsung unveiled the gleaming crimson Galaxy Chromebook 2 more than a year ago. Its latest attempt at this technology is now available for purchase, and it's quite unique. Behold the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 with a high-resolution display. One look and you can tell that the new Galaxy Chromebook 2 is not quite as red as its predecessor. I believe it's rather lovely in the black and white colourway. However, it features a 360-degree hinge and a starting price of $429.99, making it more pragmatic and pocket-friendly.Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 With High-resolution DisplayWhat's most fascinating about this is the display. Not only is this Chromebook 16:10 in aspect ratio, but it also features a 2560 x 1600 display. That is undoubtedly one of the highest-resolution panels available at the $430 pricing point. Hence, it is ideal for educational purposes if you ask me. If only the Malaysian could pick this Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 for their PerantiSiswa Tablet program instead. Then it will be named PerantiSiswa Chromebook. 😁Chromebook 2 360 in Black and WhiteLoving the colourway!At 12.4 inches, this is still a very modest screen – smaller than its predecessor's 13.3-inch display. Thanks to its excellent resolution and aspect ratio, you can expect to get tonnes of visual enjoyment out of it. The additional vertical area provides more scrolling and multitasking space than a normal low-cost Chromebook, while the resolution results in sharper text and images. Students with visual impairments or learning disabilities, in particular, benefit from larger, more readable writing, and this type of screen is one method for schools to engage in accessibility.You Will Love 360 Degree Hinge DisplayThe Chromebook 2 360 features 4GB of RAM, 64GB or 128GB of eMMC storage, and a 45.5Wh battery. Make sure you invest in the additional storage, which will only cost an extra US$20. Why not right? Under the hood, Intel Celeron N4500 powers the Chromebook. It appears that the Intel Celeron processor is chosen as it works better with Chrome OS compared to a normal Windows laptop.It is Lightweight and PortableComes with all the bells and whistlesTwo USB-C ports, one USB 3.2 Type-A port, one microSD slot, one combination audio jack, one nano security slot, and an optional nano SIM slot round out the ports. The Galaxy Chromebook 2 which costs more is missing a USB-A port. This is actually a boon for Chromebook 360 if you ask me.Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 SpecificationsThis appears to be a "Galaxy Chromebook 2" solely in name. It bears little resemblance to its predecessor. However, it looks a notch or two nicer than the standard boring and outdated gadgets that populate classroom laptop carts and almost definitely provide a superior viewing experience (an area where schools should be investing). Durability is, of course, a critical component of any student laptop, and while the images do not reveal this, past Galaxy Chromebooks have been extremely well-built.Turn Your Chromebook Into a LaptopWith the Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 and Microsoft's new Surface Laptop SE, this year is shaping up to be one in which PC manufacturers better recognised for luxury products make a play in the education arena. As laptops become more integrated into the classroom environment, it opens up some intriguing possibilities for schools. Perhaps the era of the stereotypically unattractive and slow school laptop cart is drawing to a finish — but that depends on how many schools actually purchase these fancy-screened machines.

Finance (MoF) and the Ministry of Higher Education (KPT), formally launched the PerantiSiswa Keluarga Malaysia initiative today. However, registration for the programme will begin at 8:00 AM on 15 April via the K-KOMM website's PerantiSiswa portal. The ministry also released the entire minimum requirements for the tablets that would be delivered to qualified students during the launch event.PerantiSiswa Tablets Registration Is Now OpenApparently, the PerantiSiwswa Tablets Project will be administered by a special management unit under K-Infrastructure KOMM's and Application Division. The team aims to distribute tablets to 350,000 students in the year 2022. Students can expect to receive the tablets beginning in June, although K-KOMM has reaffirmed once again that they must return the devices at the conclusion of their studies, as has been previously reported. Will this program be feasible?Where to Register for PerantiSiswa Tablet?If you are eligible (read the terms and conditions below), you can go to https://perantisiswa.kkmm.gov.my/ to apply to get your very own PerantiSiswa tablet. Minister of Communications and Multimedia Annuar Musa stated on the occasion that the procurement procedure is entirely up to the MoF, as K-KOMM simply offers the program's guiding principles. He does, however, guarantee that the tablets will be manufactured by respectable companies and will not be white-label OEM gadgets. In other words, these tablets that will be "leased" out to undergraduate students will be of relatively high quality.How To Register for PerantiSiswa Tablet (Step-by-step Guide)STEP 1: Click to registerSTEP 2: Fill in all the required detailsSTEP 3: Submit your applicationSpecifications of PerantiSiswa Tablet10.1-inch screen with 1280×800 resolution4GB of RAM64GB internal storage2MP Front Camera5MP Rear CameraBuilt-in audio speakers3.5mm audio jackSupports 4G LTESupports dual-band Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and 5GHzBluetooth 4.1 or above4500mAh batteryPre-installed with Android 10 or aboveMust be accompanied by a USB charger, Bluetooth keyboard, and stylus.Indeed, he stated explicitly that if one does not bring home a four-figure salary, one cannot purchase such a tablet. A big claim if you ask me. However, when the program's RM 450 million budget is considered, the average cost of each tablet for 350,000 students comes to roughly RM1,285. With this budget in mind, what do you think the students will be receiving. Great to know that a stylus pen and an external keyboard will be included. Could it be a Nokia T20 Tablet, Huawei MatePad? We are all still in the dark.350,000 Eligible Students Will Each Get a TabletAnnuar also stated during the speech that he will discuss the tablets in greater detail in an interview next Monday and will also announce the brand provided he receives that information from the Ministry of Finance on time. He did, however, state that the devices will most likely not be manufactured by Samsung or Apple. This is a bummer, no? The following are the terms of conditions to be eligible to be one of the recipients of the PerantiSiswa Tablet.What are the Terms and Conditions to get a PerantiSiswa Tablet?Terma dan Syarat Permohonan PerantiSiswaPemberian satu (1) unit peranti adalah untuk pemohon yang memenuhi syarat-syarat umum kelayakan PerantiSiswa seperti berikut:Warganegara Malaysia;Daripada kategori keluarga B40 iaitu pendapatan isi rumah RM4,850 dan ke bawah;Warganegara Malaysia;Sedang mengikuti pengajian di peringkat Diploma, Diploma Lanjutan atau Ijazah Sarjana Muda;Bukan pelajar tahun akhir pada tahun 2022;Mengikuti pengajian secara sepenuh masa; danTidak pernah menerima bantuan peranti daripada mana-mana program di bawah Kerajaan.Inisiatif ini hanya melibatkan pemberian peranti tanpa pelan data Internet.Peranti akan diberikan secara Kaedah Guna Pakai (KGP) kepada mahasiswa dan perlu diserahkan semula mengikut kaedah yang ditetapkan setelah tamat pengajian atau dalam tempoh yang ditentukan oleh Pentadbir Program.Peranti perlu dipulangkan apabila mahasiswa tersebut:menamatkan pengajian;berhenti pengajian;dibuang pengajian;menyalahgunakan peranti yang dibekalkan sehingga mendatangkan kemudaratan atau menyalahi undang-undang negara; ataumelanggar apa-apa syarat yang ditentukan oleh Pentadbir Program dari semasa ke semasa.Penerima peranti perlu melaporkan kerosakan, kehilangan atau kecurian tablet tersebut melalui kaedah pelaporan yang akan ditentukan kelak untuk tindakan lanjut oleh Pentadbir Program.Pentadbir Program atau mana-mana pihak yang diberi kuasa oleh Pentadbir Program berhak untuk mengarahkan penerima peranti untuk menyerahkan tablet tersebut untuk diperiksa pada bila-bila masa.Penerima peranti adalah bertanggungjawab untuk menjaga keselamatan peranti yang diterima.Penerima peranti juga perlu memastikan peranti yang diterima tidak diconteng, ditulis atau dibuat sebarang jenis perlakuan yang boleh mengakibatkan kerosakan atau kecacatan kepada peranti tersebut.Penerima peranti perlulah mematuhi peraturan/polisi keselamatan siber IPT atau agensi-agensi kerajaan yang berkuatkuasa.Peranti hendaklah digunakan dengan sebaik-baiknya untuk pembelajaran kendiri dan tidak digunakan untuk mengakses laman sesawang yang menyalahi undang-undang negara.Penerima peranti yang melanggar apa-apa syarat atau menyebabkan sesuatu kehilangan atau kerosakan ke atas peranti disebabkan kecuaian boleh dikenakan penalti yang akan ditetapkan oleh Pentadbir Program.Penerima peranti adalah tertakluk kepada terma dan syarat-syarat lain yang ditetapkan oleh Kerajaan dari semasa ke semasa.The main takeaway from the terms and conditions to be an eligible recipient of the PerantiSiswa Tablet is that the student who applies should be from a B40 family. In other words, the household income of the student should be less than RM4,850. Do note that, the Internet data plan will not be included so students will need to fork out their own money for it. I foresee that the tablet will have restricted access to websites and apps since this is considered to be a government property that needs to be returned eventually.Only Students from B40 Household Can ApplySo are you one of the students from the B40 family who is eligible to receive the "free" tablet from the Malaysian government under the PerantiSiswa programme? If yes, I am happy for you. But do make sure that you only use this tablet for "educational purposes", right? I would also applaud the Malaysian government for this meaningful initiative.

It has been a long time since Segway first introduced its famous standing scooter. Now it appears that the company is focused on all other modes of transport, from hoverboards and e-skates to single-wheel transport and electric scooters. Behold Segway Superscooter GT2 which can hit top speed at 70km per hour! That's really, really fast for an electric scooter, no? It is way faster than my Dyu D3+ electric bike!Segway SuperScooter GT2 Has a Top Speed of 70KM Per HourSo far, electric scooters appear to be the most promising of the bunch of brand new electric-powered mobile transport. In fact, they are already widely used as a mode of transportation in major cities worldwide. With a number of utilitarian models already in its lineup, the company is focusing on recreational riding with the introduction of the Segway SuperScooter GT2.Don't forget to wear your helmet!Of course, by recreational riding, we mean riding extremely fast at 70KM per hour. Is this too quick for an electric scooter? We're moving quickly enough that we're not sure how legal this will be where you live. But if you live in Malaysia the top speed limit for an electric scooter is 25KM per hour. Of course, there are already a number of high-speed electric scooters in the wild, and people have been riding them all over, so we're guessing you'll be able to get away with riding this around most of your city.0 to 48KM per Hour in 3.9 SecondsThe Segway SuperScooter GT2 is powered by dual 1,500-watt electric motors that propel the machine from standstill to 30 mph in just 3.9 seconds and up to 70KM per hour. That's right, this thing accelerates at the same rate as some mopeds. Under the hood a huge 1,512 Wh battery powers the motors. Amazingly, the battery is capable of providing a range of 90KM, which should be more than enough for the majority of people's daily commutes. Heck with that mileage you can even afford multiple pit stops in between. While it is unlikely to cover that many miles if driven constantly at top speed, it should get you to a lot of places without paying a premium for gas.Segway SuperScooter GT2 Has 90KM of MileageYou will have more than enough juice for your daily commuteThe battery features a multi-layer cooling system that ensures you're never in danger of overheating, even on long, sustained rides, while an advanced BMS system with ten protection functions ensures the battery cells' longevity, allowing you to continue using your scooter for an extended period of time without replacing the batteries.Hydraulic Brakes and Shocks!The Segway SuperScooter GT2 features a double-wishbone front suspension and a trailing-arm rear suspension, with 15 levels of hydraulic shocks on each end to ensure a smooth ride even on imperfect city streets, while front and rear hydraulic brakes with double pistons and 5.5-inch ventilation discs provide serious stopping power when you need it. It features large 11-inch tubeless tyres that allow for effortless gliding through urban terrain, while the all-new dynamic traction control system automatically adjusts the torque between the two motors to maximise traction on rough trails and slippery roads.GT2's Dashboard and ModesThe frame is made of aviation-grade aluminium alloy, which makes it strong enough to carry payloads of up to 330 pounds, while the long wheelbase, wide foot deck, and low centre of gravity provide exceptional stability even when cranking the throttle. Six riding modes (including Boost for maximum speed), a 900-lumen LED front light, daytime running lights, front and rear turning signal lights, and a transparent OLED on the handlebar that displays ride information are included.Segway SuperScooter GT2 Specs and Features OverviewWow! I would want to do this as well!A Segway SuperScooter GT2 Indiegogo campaign is currently underway. You can reserve a unit for as little as $3,499 in pledges. If you are a Malaysian and interested to get this blazing fast electric scooter from Segway, do note that the maximum top speed allowed in Malaysia for an e-scooter is 25KM per hour.

Following multiple leaks over the last few weeks, Vivo has finally introduced the X Fold, the company's very first foldable smartphone. Finally, Vivo has jumped on the bandwagon,  joining other big Chinese smartphone brands, including Huawei, OPPO, and HONOR who have all unveiled their very own foldable smartphones. I believe all smartphone manufacturers will have their own foldable devices in the future.Vivo X Fold-The Company's First Foldable SmartphoneAs with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3, the new smartphone has a standard display on the exterior and a tablet-sized folding display inside. The external display is a huge 6.53-inch 120Hz OLED panel. On the inside, the foldable display is an even bigger 8.03-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED display panel. I bet watching dramas and movies using the gigantic screen will be a visual blast! Vivo has claimed that the inner, foldable screen will be shielded by ultra-thin durable glass. Time will tell if the protective glass will break under pressure.Foldable Smartphones Will Be Mainstream Now!To facilitate the use of all sides of the Vivo X Fold, the company has included an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on both displays. Yes! So you can securely unlock your smartphone on any of the displays. I reckon this is really a nifty and thoughtful touch. Not to mention, the device's hinge is rated to withstand up to 300,000 folds in various lab tests. If you were to unfold it like 300 times a day, the Vivo X Fold could potentially be used for up to 1,000 days for around 2 and a half years.Can be folded and unfolded 300,000 timesUnder the hood, the Vivo X Fold is powered by Qualcomm's latest flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It is complemented by a standard 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage with no microSD card slot available. This is a deal-breaker for me as I have always believed that external storage is essential for any mobile device. The Vivo X Fold is powered by a 4,600mAh battery and supports cable charging at 66W, wireless charging at 50W, and reverse wireless charging at 10W.Vivo X Fold is Equipped With Zeiss CamerasIf you are into photography, this new foldable smartphone from Vivo features a quad-camera array that comprises ZEISS optics, a 50MP primary sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide camera, an 8MP periscope telephoto lens, and another 12MP telephoto lens. Additionally, there are two 16MP punch-hole selfie cameras situated on the right side of the folding display and in the external display's top centre section.Capture Anything Easily With Vivo X FoldVivo X Fold supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC connectivity. Pre-installed with Vivo's in-house OriginOS Ocean, a custom version of Android 12, expect a buttery smooth user experience. The X Fold features stereo speakers but is devoid of a 3.5mm audio connection.What's The Price of Vivo X Fold?The Vivo X Fold is available in blue and black colour options and is reportedly priced at RM5,999 for the 256GB variant and RM6,699 for the 512GB model. For the time being, it will be marketed exclusively in China, and the company has not yet revealed intentions to expand into international markets. When do you think it will arrive in Malaysia?

Tesla Optimus Bot Will Go Live in 2023

With Elon Musk, you know that a functional and practical humanoid robot will be rolled out by Tesla real soon. Behold the Tesla Optimus Bot, a bizarre-sounding concept for a humanoid robot. It was brought up again during Tesla's recent Cyber Rodeo event near Austin, Texas. The Tesla Optimus Bot is intended to be an android the size and shape of a human. They are reported to be meant to perform tasks that humans do not want to do or that are too dangerous for humans. Elon Musk appears to value this concept highly. He envisions the robot having a greater impact than Tesla's electric cars.Tesla Optimus Bot Will Go Live in 2023Elon Musk originally suggested the Tesla Optimus Bot in August 2021 during the company's AI day. Surprisingly detailed information and photos were provided, probably to persuade people that the android, dubbed Optimus Sub-Prime, was not a hoax. Tesla is well-known for its automobiles but has never publicly unveiled a robot. On the other hand, Musk said that Tesla did develop robots for its advanced automobile manufacturing process and that a Tesla car equipped with full self-driving capabilities is essentially a robot on wheels.What is Tesla Optimus Bot?Will robots be an "endemic" for us as well in the future?Since its inception in 2021, the Tesla Optimus Bot has been mentioned on a periodic basis. Musk stated that the firm has a chance of initiating production on the Tesla Optimus Bot's first iteration in 2023, despite the fact that no prototypes have been presented thus far. This sounds like wishful thinking, especially in light of the company's delays since the outbreak began. With supply chain logistics improving, the Cybertruck, Semi, Mini Cyberquad, and next-generation Roadster all seem plausible for 2023.Tesla Optimus Bot Specs at a GlanceTesla launching a totally new category of the product next year, a humanoid robot or android, appears to be considerably less plausible. Tesla has the resources and technology necessary to do extraordinary feats, and possibly an early prototype of the Tesla Optimus Bot will be ready for a demonstration next year. After all, Musk also launches reusable rockets into space and provides extensive satellite internet, both of which were unavailable prior to Musk's involvement.Tesla Optimus Bot Relies on Vision-based AIThe design choices made for Optimus are comparable to those made by Tesla for its Full Self-Driving systems, which rely on vision-based artificial intelligence rather than LiDAR or Radar. Just as highways are designed for individuals with visual systems, factories, businesses, and other structures are also designed for humans, with doors and stairs created to accommodate a person's size and shape.Will Tesla Optimus Bot Take Away Your Job?If the Tesla Optimus Bot is intended to act in the place of a human, making it a humanoid seems like a realistic long-term strategy. By comparison, today's factory robots are highly specialised, frequently anchored to the floor and isolated from human workers. If Tesla's aspirations for artificial general intelligence (AGI) are sufficiently progressed, this barrier between human and robot workers may become obsolete, a huge advancement.Are You Ready For Their Arrival?The Tesla Optimus Bot's size and weight will be similar to that of a human, allowing it to work in the same environment. To allay any fears or potential dangers associated with 'Terminator stuff,' as Musk puts it, Optimus is projected to be slower and weaker than a human, making it easy to overcome or flee the android if required.Watch the Introduction of the Tesla Optimus BotIt is understood that Elon Musk's ultimate goal, as he claims, is to revolutionise the world even more than Tesla automobiles can. This will of course usher in an age of abundance in which disagreeable and risky work is performed by robots, leaving more joyful employment to people. While the Tesla Optimus Bot and high aims seem incredible, even if a prototype is unveiled in 2023, it could be decades before this technology has a meaningful impact on how people work and live.


After "suffering" for months, I had finally had enough and decided to get it changed. Yes! I have just replaced my laptop keyboard which had been acting weirdly for the past few months. It had been really difficult to do my job initially as the output characters typed by me were sometimes different. So it was still bearable in the beginning. However, it got so terrible to the point that not a single word typed is correct.Replaced My Laptop Keyboard For RM170 at PC World MelakaMy second plug-and-play external keyboard 😂I resorted to buying an "external" keyboard to help me do my job. I ended up needing two external keyboards as the first one was broken as well. They were a great alternative originally but it soon dawned on me that this solution cannot be a permanent one. Plugging and unplugging a full-size keyboard into a laptop can be tedious and is certainly a hassle. Why bother to lug around that extra weight, right?How to Replace Your Laptop's KeyboardDo you DIY?As I needed to use my laptop constantly for work and even more work (of course), I had decided against sending my laptop to a shop to get it fixed at the beginning. Taking more than 1 day to replace it will be a bummer for me. I had seriously considered replacing the keyboard for my laptop on my own. You could easily buy a laptop keyboard replacement on shopee for around RM20 - RM60 but then again I am not a computer whizkid and I definitely know nothing about repairing or replacing parts for laptops.This is what your internal keyboard laptop looks likeDoubt I could replace the keyboard on my own...Instead of trying to save some money to replace my laptop, I honestly believe that an expert will be better equipped to do the job. I do not want to risk causing more damage, no? Hence, I went to a computer shop near my working place to get my faulty laptop's keyboard to be replaced. Surprisingly, the whole process took less than 24 hours and I was charged RM170 which I thought was relatively affordable. I have to thank the professionals at PC World Ong Kim Wee for an amazing job done!My Laptop Keyboard Has Been Replaced!I am really elated! The whole laptop feels brand new. 😁I am glad that now I do not need to bring extra "weight" anymore. It feels really good to be able to type right off my laptop. The best part is I do not need to allocate extra space to place the external keyboard. I guess spending RM170 to replace the laptop keyboard that I had been using for 10 years is considered cheap right? Have you had such an experience before? Would you rather buy the keyboard on your own and DIY to replace it on your own or will you send it to a professional just like me?


ZipCharge Go-Portable Battery For Your Electric Vehicle

Now that more and more people are switching to electric vehicles, it makes perfect sense that we will need a portable battery to charge the likes of Tesla and Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure in the future. Behold the portable battery to charge your electric vehicle on the go. In other words, you can now bring along a "spare" battery in case your EV runs out of juice. Sounds like a familiar, brilliant idea, no?The Portable Battery To Charge Your Electric VehicleA portable electric car charger built in the United Kingdom is nearing completion of development and is expected to hit the market early next year, according to its inventor. Introducing ZipCharge Go, a portable lithium-ion battery that doubles as a jerrycan for electric cars. It has been awarded a top British Engineering Excellence Award for "meeting a genuine demand in the rapidly developing EV market."ZipCharge Go, a portable lithium-ion battery that doubles as a jerrycan for electric cars is certainly a welcome boon in the rapidly developing EV market. The ZipCharge Go has a battery capacity of between 4 and 8 kWh and, according to the manufacturer, gives roughly 30-65 kilometres of range in around 30 minutes, depending on the type of electric car. It connects using a standard Type 2 connection and charges at a rate comparable to that of a common home wall box (7.2kW).What is ZipCharge Go Battery Capacity?The portable lithium-ion battery is approximately the size of carry-on luggage and comes equipped with wheels and a retractable handle. It can be charged at home using a standard wall outlet and then wheeled out to your car to extend its range or kept in the boot for further security on longer travels. While an additional 30-65 kilometres of the range may not sound like much, it should be plenty to get the majority of people to their nearest fast-charging station.Each Recharge Provides an Additional 30-65km of MileageAlternatively, apartment dwellers without access to electricity can use the 'Go' to charge their electric cars sufficiently for a regular daily trip, leaving the hard lifting to public chargers on weekends. Additionally, the Go has 4G connectivity and can be operated via an app, which enables customers to arrange to charge for times when electricity rates are at their lowest. Additionally, the Go's bi-directional charging enables it to feed energy back into the grid.What is The Price of ZipCharge Go?There is even an app for your portable battery!The external case is constructed entirely of recycled plastic, and the producer promises that it may be utilised in all weather conditions. Pricing and shipping details have not been confirmed, and it is unknown whether the company wants to export this to other parts of the world. I guess it will cost at least US$1,000 to US$2000 as it is still a novelty. What say you? For more information, head over to ZipCharge Go's official website.
