Dyson Zone Air Purifying Headphones

For the first time, Dyson has unveiled its first maiden wearable gadget, a set of Bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones geared for city inhabitants who want to avoid the smog and pollution of their surroundings. Behold the jaw-dropping Dyson Zone Air Purifying Headphones that feel like a future tech that a time-traveller has brought back for us!Dyson Zone Air Purifying HeadphonesThe Dyson Zone Air Purifying Headphones is certainly a departure from anything the firm has ever crafted. It feels like something out of a sci-fi movie, with its enormous, fluffy headphones attached to a plastic mask-like device that goes from ear to ear across the wearer's mouth. I can't help but feel this is an extra-terrestrial tech to help us breathe cleansed air. So now Dyson has managed to integrate their famous air purifier into headphones! BAM!6 Years Of Rigorous Testing To Create Dyson ZoneIn addition to delivering that trademarked purifier air to the mouth and nose, its active noise-cancelling technology also helps reduce noise pollution. "We all have to deal with air pollution in our daily lives," Jake Dyson, the company's chief engineer, said in an interview. At home, at school, at work, and when we're on the go, whether it's on foot, by bike, or in a taxi. Dyson Zone filters the dirty air you breathe while on the go. And, in contrast to face masks, it provides a fresh air plume without contacting the wearer's face. Yes! There is no direct contact to your face!Enjoy Purified Air While Listening To MusicFreaking cool!Air purifying dual-layer filters are embedded in each ear cup's motor, compressor, and fan. Pollen, germs, dust, and other air pollutants, such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, are removed by drawing the air through filters that remove 99 per cent of the smallest particles in it. To ensure that the wearer is breathing only clean air, the air is first filtered and then pumped through a visor that sits just in front of one's mouth and nose without touching one's skin.No Direct Contact With FaceIn order to provide the same amount of fresh air as a jog, the headphones feature sensors that detect how fast the user is moving and automatically alter the airflow between three intensity levels. As pollution levels rise, an internal sensor in the left ear cup alerts you to the need to replace the filters, which should last around 12 months in Europe and less in more polluted areas. The data is sent to an app on your phone.Dyson Zone is From The Future?The mannequin looks like a time-traveller!Size-adjustable arms and magnets attached to Dyson Zone Air Purifying Headphones enable for the visor to be unclipped and unfastened so the wearer can speak with others while still listening to music. In response to the masking needs of the Covid-19 epidemic, Dyson has designed an extra mask attachment that lies between the visor and the face and has an FFP2 filter.The Headphones That Purify AirTo counteract this outside sound, active noise cancelling headphones, like those made by companies like Bose or Sony, use spinning compressors on either side of your head to send out anti-sound waves into the ear cups, which are then received by the ear cups themselves to reduce the amount of noise you're exposed to. In order to use the headphones without filtration, it is necessary to remove the visor.I Really Dig the Design of Dyson Zone!If you utilise Dyson Zone at its lowest filtration rate for 4.5 hours, the battery will last up to 90 minutes. They may be worn as headphones for up to 40 hours before needing to be recharged, and they charge up to 60% in 20 minutes when connected to a USB-C port. To now, no price has been announced for the Dyson Zone, which is likely to retail for between $500 (RM2,000) and $1,000 (RM4,000) when it goes on sale in the fall. Will it be available in Malaysia? For more information, head over to Dyson's official website.


Apple's iPad Air (2022) Review: The iPad to Buy

If you are like me searching high and low for a high-performance tablet that is equally good for work and play, then the latest Apple iPad Air is high on my list of recommendations. Then you will love the "air" that comes with this iPad.  This is definitely the best option for you. That is especially true now that Apple has endowed the mid-range device with a more powerful engine. The supercharged M1 CPU that now powers this slate has logged miles on the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro over the last year and a half.Is This The Best Apple iPad in 2022?The M1 is certainly a head-turner of the show this year, but there are a few other tasty treats to enjoy. For starters, the MacBook Air now comes in a variety of different colours, including the stunning blue of my review model. In addition, 5G compatibility is available as an option for faster mobile speeds than 4G LTE. Best of all, Apple isn't charging anything extra: the iPad Air remains RM2,599, keeping it competitive with other iPads and non-Apple rivals in this sector.Ridiculous Storage Options, Same Old PriceApple deserves credit for keeping the iPad Air's pricing despite swapping out an A-series chip for the M1 processor. The Air is much less expensive than the iPad Pro models and Samsung's higher-end tablets at this pricing. However, keep in mind that the standard iPad Air only offers 64GB of storage.Apple omits a 128GB storage variant, forcing you to spend an additional RM600 to upgrade to 256GB. Still, at RM3,199, the high-end Air is RM850 cheaper than the iPad Pro with the same storage, albeit the iPad Pro 11 with 128GB is only RM200 more expensive than the 256GB iPad Air.In terms of how it compares to Samsung's options, the iPad Air costs the same as the regular Galaxy Tab S8, but Samsung has twice the capacity. The price of the Galaxy Tab S8+ with 128GB storage starts at RM3,799.iPad Air Is Beautiful in BlueThe new iPad Air colour is a stunning metallic gunmetal blue that shimmers in the proper light. It's a unique colour that I am sure you have not seen before If you do not fancy the latest colourway, Apple had some fun this year by releasing the iPad Air in Pink, Purple, and Starlight (a metallic white hue), in addition to the iconic Space Grey.This iPad appears to be the same as the prior model. It's a thin metal slab with a single round camera module on the back atop a chrome Apple logo in the centre. Thin bezels assist to refresh a design that keeps to Apple's basic approach across the board. A magnetic stripe on the side for charging and holding the optional Apple Pencil, as well as a Touch ID fingerprint sensor embedded into the power button, are other nice convenience features. Unfortunately, the Air lacks Face ID, a speedier, hands-free login technique seen on the iPad Pro.Unlike the larger iPad Pro 12.9 and several of Samsung's new Galaxy Tab S8 tablets, the iPad Air can be held aloft comfortably without straining your arms. The Air is roughly the same size and weight as the iPad Pro 11, measuring 0.23 inches thick and weighing 1.02 pounds. Without the keyboard, the Surface Pro 8 weighs around 2 pounds.iPad Air's Display is Simple but EffectiveThe 10.9-inch, 2360 x 1640-pixel display on the iPad Air is indistinguishable from the 11-inch display on the iPad Pro. Of course, it is dwarfed by the iPad Pro 12.9 and Samsung's Galaxy Tab S8 and S8 Ultra. Despite the fact that the number of large-screen tablets on the market is expanding, the iPad Air's display does not feel cramped.It was really fun to watch movies on Netflix and videos on YouTube on the iPad Air; the panel delivers realistic, vivid colours, text appears sharp, and the screen is bright enough to view outdoors on a beautiful spring day, despite our colourimeter registering a peak of 427 nits, considerably below the 500-nit rating.This is a regular LCD panel, not an OLED display like the Galaxy Tab S8+/Ultra or a mini-LED display like the iPad Pro 12.9. As a result, you won't receive the same brilliant colours or excellent black levels. The bezels on Samsung's slate are slimmer, and the colours are more vibrant. Short of best-in-class display quality, you make a compromise with the iPad Air, which is regrettable given that it's best suited for content consumption. Remember that the iPad Air is approximately RM1,200 cheaper than the Tab S8+.The iPad Air's refresh rate of 60hz is also outdated. Most people won't notice, but switching from a 120Hz display to the iPad Air may be unsettling given how fast-moving objects appear much smoother on a high-refresh-rate screen. Another feature lost when downsizing from the iPad Pro, which has an adaptive 120Hz display which is also known as ProMotion.Minor Enhancements That Add UpThe iPad Air only features two speakers, but they are placed on opposing sides of the tablet to produce a stereo experience. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the audio quality is outstanding. The speakers are powerful enough for single listening and can fill a small space with clear sound. The sounds and voices remained clear and there was no distortion even if you crank up the volume. Impressive I would say!One minor change was made to the USB-C charging connector on the device's bottom.  Nope! iPad Pro’s Thunderbolt 4 input is not available with the iPad Air but it is twice as fast as its predecessor. With 10GBps, you can transfer data faster or connect to up to one 6K monitor. However, the Air still requires a dongle or a Bluetooth device for private listening.The iPad Air's enhanced 12MP ultra-wide-angle front-facing lens, which produces more detailed photos than the previous 7MP selfie cam, works in tandem with a single 12-megapixel rear-facing camera. You will be delighted that Apple prioritised the front-facing camera because it will be used more on tablets. I'm also happy that its 12MP lens doesn't have the same flaws as Apple Studio Display's webcam. Picture quality is comparable to that of an iPhone's front-facing camera, and it is capable of catching fine details and correct skin tones under suitable lighting.Center Stage makes its iPad Air debut on this 5th generation model as well. During video conversations, Apple's clever software keeps you and other close participants centred within the frame. I've tried the feature on a MacBook, the Studio Display, and an iPad Air, and it's always detected my movements correctly, seamlessly panning to keep my head centred on the screen. One disadvantage of the Air is that the camera is located on the narrow end of the tablet rather than the horizontal edge. Center Stage will keep you centred, but it will not change the angle of the lens, so you will appear to be staring off aimlessly while you are actually looking at others on the screen.iPad Air Accessories: Beautiful but ExpensiveThanks to its relatively huge size, the iPad Air is best utilised as a normal tablet for web surfing, usage of apps, and content consumption. However, with such a powerful chip, the Air has the potential to do much more. If you want to use the iPad Air as a laptop replacement or as a supplement to your work machine, Apple's keyboard and stylus attachments are worth considering.They're good, but they're pricey. The Apple Pencil 2 costs RM599, but it's a worthy investment for artists, designers, or anyone who likes writing or sketching with a stylus. It's comfortable in the hand, didn't have any trouble tracking my rapid sketching, and the magnetic charging is a blessing for individuals who lose stuff.If you need the Air to function as a laptop, the Magic Keyboard comes close. You will fall in love with the cosy keyboard especially the  "floating" design that allows for a variety of viewing angles. It is, however, far from ideal. The adapter is bulky and pricey (RM1,299), and you must remove the iPad to return to tablet mode. For RM759, you can also get the Smart Keyboard Folio, which fixes some of the Magic Keyboard's issues but isn't the most pleasant to text on.Desktop-quality PerformanceWhile the improved front-facing camera, faster USB-C connection, and stunning blue colour option are great additions this year, the M1 CPU and 5G capability are the key improvements to the iPad Air. The same desktop-grade M1 chip seen in the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13, and iPad Pro versions replaces the A14. The CPU has four performance cores and four efficiency cores, which gives it a two-core advantage over the A15 in the current iPhone 13.If we just look at raw performance, the iPad Air scored 7,252 on the Geekbench 5 overall performance tests, which is just about the same as the iPad Pro (7,292). The iPad Air now outperforms the smaller iPad mini (4,525) with its A15 Bionic chip. It is also worth noting that it outguns the Galaxy Tab S8+ (3,230) with its Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 1 SoC with the M1.In practice, the 5th Generation iPad Air is lightning fast at loading apps, navigating numerous browser tabs, and streaming movies. But it's always been that way. Unless you're dealing with demanding processes or playing more graphics-intensive games, you won't notice the M1's influence. Even so, you're unlikely to encounter anything that the previous iPad Air couldn't handle, but this latest version will do it faster for longer. I know I am super ecstatic to discover that the year 2022 version of the Apple iPad Air will reach its performance limit only after many years of use. In other words, it is kinda future-proof.For better or worse, the new processor appears to have little effect on battery life. The iPad Air lasted 10 hours and 2 minutes in our battery test, which included playback of videos with the display adjusted to 200 nits of brightness. That's a slight decrease from the previous edition (10:30), but it'll get you through a full day of use.If you currently own a more recent model, the M1 processor isn't enough to justify upgrading to the iPad Air. However, depending on your requirements, optional 5G support may be available. You can add sub-6Ghz 5G compatibility to the iPad Air for an additional RM600, giving it the quickest mobile speeds available, which, depending on your carrier, might be a substantial step up to 4G LTE. You miss out on mmWave 5G, the ultra-fast variety, but given how frustratingly elusive it remains, it's scarcely worth mentioning.Should you get the new Apple iPad Air in 2022?Simply put, the iPad Air is the greatest tablet for the majority of people. It is undeniable that the unveil of the iPad Air has certainly made it more difficult for potential buyers to choose. It has got a few noteworthy upgrades over the base iPad, thanks to its modern design, portable chassis, and M1-powered performance.The iPad Air falls short as a viable laptop replacement. It's adequate for basic tasks, but the 10.9-inch screen is too small for multitasking. If you require a tablet/laptop hybrid, the iPad Pro 12.9 or Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra are better choices (though I'm not a big fan of "tablet as a laptop" in the first place).That gets me to the conclusion: if you need a new tablet, get the iPad Air. While the latest improvements don't move the needle enough for me to suggest it to people who already possess a more current model, they do extend the iPad Air's advantage over the competition–making it the safe decision in the sub-RM3500 bracket.

Want to make your very own crust-perfect pizza at home? Then you can get the Solo Stove Pi to cook up a storm in your backyard. Many of us are major admirers of Solo Stove's fire pits, because of their small size and near-smokeless operation. We especially like how they used the same innovative concept in a backyard barbeque. This time, they're adding the Solo Stove Pi to their backyard cooking arsenal.Solo Stove Pi-The Pizza Oven For Your HomeNo, this isn't another grill. Instead, the company is adding a genuine pizza oven to their inventory, offering you a desktop setup for making pies in your garden. While it does not produce the same amount of smoke as fire pits, it does have the same design and aesthetic, making it an attractive addition to anyone's garden.Easy to Use Pizza OvenNow you don't have to order pizza anymore?The Solo Stove Pi has a spherical form similar to their fire pits, but with a demi dome top that conducts heat down to the full-width cordierite pizza stone at the oven's floor and a panoramic opening scaled to suit the 12-inch pizzas out front. It, of course, employs the same airflow concept as the outfit's fire pits. In this case, it uses perforations at the bottom of the oven to allow air to enter, which it then directs straight to the fire in the back, ensuring your flames have a steady supply of air to keep going while you cook one pie after another, while ceramic insulation keeps the heat inside to maintain optimal cooking temperatures.Dual Fuel Pizza OvenIt, like the company's fire pits, can run on wood, which you just place in the recessed tray along the back of the oven, similar to normal wood-fired pizza ovens. If you don't feel like gathering logs, you may use the optional Gas Burner accessory, which allows you to cook your pizza by simply connecting it to the same LPG tank that you use on your gas grill.Bake Your Pizza at 425 degrees Celsius!When utilising wood as fuel, the Solo Stove Pi can heat the pizza stone to 400 degrees Celsius and 425 degrees Celsius when using the gas burner. Please keep in mind that there is no built-in thermometer in the stove, therefore you will need to use a separate thermometer to measure heat levels. There's also no time stated for how long you need to warm the oven to get to those temperatures, but we're hoping it's close to the 15 or so minutes Ooni's ovens can heat up to optimum cooking temperatures (from what we can tell, this one will take way longer). Once properly preheated, the oven can produce one pizza every two minutes. There's enough space inside for a single 12-inch pizza or a couple smaller pies.Home-made Pizza Anyone?Watch How Solo Stove Pi bake Your Perfect PizzaWhen utilising wood as fuel, it has a built-in pan that collects ashes. According to the company, you may burn three hours' worth of wood before the pan becomes clogged with ash, at which point you'll need to clear it before cooking again. When cooking with gas, you can cook for as long as you have propane left in the tank. The Solo Stove Pi will be available in mid-May 2022 with a price tag of $425 (RM1,799) which I thought is relatively affordable. For more information, head over to Solo Stove's official website.


Behold the return of Sony Walkman. First off! Look at the
beautiful Sony Walkman NW-WM1ZM2 which is priced at RM14,999! The Sony Walkman
has been reintroduced in two variants (NW-WM1AM2 and NW-WM1ZM2), both of which
feature Hi-Res Audio, DSD, LDAC, and MQA. Both are aimed at audiophiles in need
of a standalone MP3 player, and both support modern streaming services and
formats, with the more expensive NW-WM1ZM2 featuring copper and gold parts for
best audio fidelity.Sony Walkman NW-WM1ZM2 is Priced at RM14,999Throughout the Sony Walkman's history, various versions have stood out from the colour-popping plastic mass-market units. For example, in 1983, the WM-20 had the same same size as a cassette case (and which came in a beautiful gold finish). Audio quality was also highly regarded. The WM-D6C Professional Walkman was first unveiled in 1984 (a year before I was born). It was really a decent music player that will set you back several times the initial $250 price tag. Initially, it was still in production when Sony released its very first all-digital player the iconic Network Walkman, in the year 1999.Sony Walkman NW-WM1ZM2 Copper Golden BuildThe epitome of class and beauty!Sony's digital Walkman series may have been the first, but it did not win the prize. When Apple iPod made its debut appearance back in 2001, mp3s became instantly popular; granted that as you were using Apple. Despite the fact that the NW models have been constantly refined over the last 23 years, they have always been seen as relatively specialised. Since 2014, all Walkman models have been 'high-resolution' players, capable of playing codecs such as 24-bit FLAC and the ubiquitous mp3. The NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 are two new premium music players from the firm.Sony Walkman NW-WM1AM2 In Black!The "cheaper" alternative to the golden walkman!The astute observer will have observed a noticeable difference between the two. The WM1ZM2 Walkman Signature Series elevates the audiophile community's gold infatuation to new heights. While the AM2 has a standard black case, the Sony Walkman NW-WM1ZM2 has a chassis constructed of oxygen-free copper that has been gold-plated. According to the firm, the purity and strength of this material results in 'clear and strong bass notes' and a more spacious atmosphere.' If you feel you can discern such minute acoustic distinctions, go for it. Regardless, it's gorgeous.Preorder Your Sony Walkman NW-WM1ZM2 Now!Watch The Creation of Sony Walkman NW-WM1ZM2The flagship model also offers a few notable technological advantages, such as higher-quality components, such as the thick American-made Kimber Kable internal connector connecting the amp to the headphone socket. Yes, pricey speaker cabling is frequently the most contentious area of hi-fi magic, but Sony argues that the handful of centimetres of this high-spec wiring adds a further boost to signal quality. There's also 256GB of onboard storage, up from 128GB on the AM2, while both versions offer a microSD card to expand that capacity even further.

Kawasaki Robotic Goat That You Can Ride

When you have too many electric cars which is too mainstream, it is time to have something mechanical which does not rely solely on wheels. Introducing Kawasaki Robotic Goat that you can ride! We’re more or less still at the point of robotics when engineers are throwing anything at the wall and hoping to discover a design that sticks. Or at least, that seems like the clearest explanation for why Kawasaki designed a four-legged walking Ibex.Kawasaki Robotic Goat That You Can RideFor the uninitiated, an ibex is a species of wild goat—that can tote freight or passengers presuming neither are in much of a hurry. Officially revealed at the 2022 International Robot Exhibition (iREX) in Tokyo this past week, Bex is an offspring of Kawasaki’s Kaleido programme which, since 2015, has been focused on building bipedal humanoid robots.Fancy riding a robotic goat?As is clear by watching every single blooper film that Boston Dynamics’ has published of its multi-million dollar Atlas robot sliding and falling, producing a bipedal robot that’s as agile and solid on two feet as a real human is no easy undertaking. That is why Bex was conjured by its designers. The experienced robotics professionals at Kawasaki were trying to invent a flexible bipedal robot that can easily navigate through any of those rough terrains like its real-life sibling. This amazing Kawasaki robotic goat that you can ride is undeniably a robot with wheels that is agile enough to balance itself on the ground at all times.Now Mountain-climbing Will Be Easier?Feet or Wheels?When you need pace in your rideable Bex, it can lower its body and actually kneel on its 4 pairs of wheels to transform into an electric scooter. In this mode, it can take advantage of the smooth, paved terrain and glide effortlessly. But when terrain starts to grow uneven, the Bex can stand and manoeuvre on four highly-articulated legs utilising a stride that ensures at least half of them are touching the ground at any given time, substantially decreasing the balancing act it needs to execute.It Can Transform Into an Electric ScooterWatch the Kawasaki Robotic Goat In Action!The Bex’s load capacity is rated at roughly 220 pounds, so in addition to hauling big objects, it can carry human passengers who guide the quadruped using a standard pair of handlebars. And acknowledging the limited appeal and utility of constructing this bot to look like a wild goat, Kawasaki has also built the upper half of the Bex to be totally modular. So clients who wish to focus on hauling freight can do away with the animal image altogether, while those seeing an opportunity to modernise their cattle ranches might perhaps go full equestrian with this robot and bring the cowpoke fully into the 21st century.


Apple Earns an EXTRA US$ 6.5 Billion By Removing Chargers and Earbuds

Apple earns an EXTRA US$6.5 billion by removing chargers
and earbuds from its new iPhones. Apple is reported to have made US$6.5 billion (RM27.38 billion) by no longer
including chargers and earbuds with its new iPhones. The move announced two years ago in 2020, was meant to decrease
waste and earned praise from environmentalists when it claimed it would reduce
annual carbon emissions by two million tonnes, the equivalent of removing
500,000 automobiles from the road. But then again it is obvious that this move is driven by corporate greed!Apple Earns an EXTRA US$6.5 Billion By Removing Chargers and EarbudsCustomers, however, have been smacked in the pocket,
according to critics, because the withdrawal of the adapters and earbuds was
not accompanied by a price decrease. Apple has charged US$25 for a replacement plug or headphones
since 2020. According to critics, if Apple had passed on the entire savings,
including an estimated 40% drop in shipping costs due to thinner packaging
allowing 70% more devices on each pallet, iPhone pricing would be cheaper.Prices of iPhones Remain The Same Even Without Chargers and EarbudsExperts reckon that Apple, whose new iPhones start at around US$2000, could save around US$35 for each phone. The investigation considers that,
while the adapters and earbuds retail for US$25, they are significantly less
expensive to manufacture. 'Apple is the phone industry market leader in helping the
environment, with removing chargers and headphones one of many things it is
doing,' said Ben Wood, principal analyst at technology analysts CCS Insight. Of
course, Apple saves money by not including chargers and headphones when it sells
iPhones.'So Apple Fans Don't Mind Being Screwed?Image credit: Marques BrownleeApple is estimated to have sold 190 million iPhones
worldwide since announcing the decision. The total gain from removing chargers
and earbuds, including lower shipping costs, could be as much as US$6.5 billion, with
an additional projected US$293 million from accessory sales. The UK's share is expected to be more than US$365 million.This Move Allowed Apple to Earn Even More Money!Thinking inside the box to STEAL your money!Apple's head of environment Lisa Jackson had clearly stated
in 2020 that the company is aware that consumers have been amassing adapters
and that generating even more unnecessary iPhone chargers will only exhaust
even more resources and of course, adds to their carbon footprint. 'At Apple, we are continually innovating to conserve
resources and protect the world we all share,' said an Apple representative
last night.2 Million Tonnes of Carbon Emissions Could Be Reduced!And more money could be earned!We are already carbon neutral in our own operations, and we have
set an ambitious target of becoming carbon neutral in our entire supply chain
and product consumption by 2030 so that every Apple device sold has a net-zero
carbon effect. One of the initiatives we're taking is reducing the materials in
our products and packaging. This significant measure reduced almost 2 million

LifeStraw Peak Series Straw-Drink From Any Water Source

Imagine if you can directly drink any water out in the open just by using a special straw! Behold LifeStraw Peak Series which is an awesome filter-as-you-sip straw! It allows you to acquire hydration from even the most questionable water sources with a device that fits comfortably in the back pocket of your pants (or a bag pocket if you don't want to sit on it). For much of the decade or so that the product has been in circulation, it has remained basically unchanged. The LifeStraw Peak Series Straw, on the other hand, is a substantial upgrade.LifeStraw Peak Allows You To Drink Water From Any SourceThe new straw, which is designed to improve on the original, has a more ergonomic shape, a higher water flow rate, and a longer-lasting filter, making it a better product altogether. Simply said, these new water-filtering straws should make your camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities more enjoyable. Or at least you don't have to be worried when you run out of water supply. So is LifeStraw Peak really worth it?Does LifeStraw Peak Really Work?The LifeStraw Peak Series Straw is slightly shorter and slightly thicker than the original, measuring 7.7 x 1.3 inches (length x diameter). It has a microfilter that keeps out silt, sand, and other particulates that produce cloudiness in the water while protecting against 99.999999 per cent of germs, parasites, and microplastics. The microfilter design has been improved, according to the company, to reduce the likelihood of clogging due to particles, guaranteeing a consistent flow rate even when dealing with sand and silt-filled water.How Long Will LifeStraw Peak Last?The company claims that the microfilter used in LifeStraw Peak is also designed to last up to 1,000 gallons (3,785 litres), which should be enough drinking water to last you up to five years, according to the manufacturer. This special straw also meets US EPA and NSF P231 drinking water requirements, implying that it can turn even the dirtiest ponds in the woods into drinkable water. It also has no shelf life, unlike its predecessor, so you may store up on these items and they'll still be used years later.LifeStraw Peak Has No Shelf Life!And it is highly portable!The streamlined design of the LifeStraw Peak Series Straw adds an ergonomic grip to the body, making it significantly simpler to grasp in hand than the prior model's straight tube-like proportions. It contains cap covers on both ends of the tube to protect both openings from damage and contamination, as well as threading and a standard hose connector on the bottom section. Simply put, the new design has made it more durable and suitable to be used outdoors.It Is Compatible With Most PET BottlesThe threading of LifeStraw Peak makes it compatible with most PET water bottle openings, allowing you to fill a large soda bottle with river water that you can filter with the straw and transfer to another container, while the hose connector makes it compatible with any standard gravity hose for a more convenient way of drawing large amounts of water.Watch  LifeStraw Peak Series Straw In Action!By the way, the new straw isn't being released on its own. It's now part of a new Peak Series collection. A squeeze bottle with a built-in filter, a 3L gravity filter, a straw carry bag, and a replacement filter is included in addition to the straw. Unfortunately, they haven't released a new version of the steel LifeStraw yet, but we have faith that it will be released soon. The LifeStraw Peak Series Straw is currently available for purchase online with a price tag of US$19.95 (RM80) which is really cheap. for more information, head over to LifeStraw's official website.P.S.: Perhaps the company should send some of their amazing LifeStraw Peak Series Straw to war-ravaged countries like Ukraine to help them keep hydrated.


Indian Motorcycle X SUPER73 Hooligan 1.2 Electric Bike

Behold The Indian Motorcycle x Super73 eFTR Hooligan 1.2 which is a collaboration between Super73 and Indian Motorcycle which is the latter’s very first electric bike. Super73 and their scrambler-style e-bikes, add a motorcycle appearance to the mostly pedal-powered vehicle. It's an appealing design option that truly distinguishes the bike from the basic bicycle look of other electrics in the category. Indian Motorcycle X SUPER73 New eFTR Hooligan 1.2 Electric BikeThis reminds me of my very own Dyu D3+ Electric Bike. No, this isn't an Indian FTR reimagined as a motorised pedal pusher. This isn't even a brand-new bike built from the ground up by the partnership. Instead, it is based on one of Super73's existing scrambler-style models, which is dressed out in numerous embellishments reminiscent of various aspects seen in Indian motorcycle designs.The Indian x Super73 eFTR Hooligan 1.2 is based on Super73's S2 platform, which is a high-performance Class 3 e-bike that has gained popularity among electric bike riders. Of course, they made several alterations to distinguish it, the most notable of which was the battery placement. While the normal S2 maintained it in the top tube on a gasoline tank-like casing, the FTR gas tank is now positioned on the down tube for a lower centre of gravity. In its place is a long saddle built to carry two people, allowing you to easily transport a passenger in the back, as you would on a standard motorcycle, or even out front.2 People Can Enjoy Riding The Electric Bike!It has moto-style handlebars, a wind deflector inspired by the FTR 1200 Rally, and all-terrain Super73 GRZLY 20-inch tyres. Those fenders on the original S2's front and rear? They entirely removed it here, while adding a gold chain to complete the Indian Motorcycle design look. Other features include an aluminium frame, 20-inch wheels, disc brakes on all four corners, and an inverted front fork.It Has a Mileage of 40 milesThe Indian x Super73 eFTR Hooligan 1.2 is outfitted with a rear hub motor that produces 750 watts of continuous power and 1200 watts of peak power, which is plenty of power for an old bicycle, and it is powered by a 960Wh detachable battery. According to the company, the battery has a range of 40 miles when riding at 20mph with no pedal assist, so you should get a lot more mileage if you like to ride with your legs.There are 4 Different Riding ModesIt has four riding modes to choose from. There's Class 1, which is a pedal-assist mode with a top speed of 20 mph; Class 2, which doesn't require pedalling (throttle only) but also has a top speed of 20 mph; Class 3, which engages pedal assist at top speeds of 28 mph; and Off-Road, which unleashes the full power of the motor, allowing it to put out 1200 watts continuous and 2000 watts at its peak.According to the company, it can reach speeds of more than 28 mph in that configuration, and the aggressive semi-knob tyres should assist in smoothing out the ride during true off-road riding. The Indian x Super73 eFTR Hooligan 1.2 will be available in the spring. with a jaw-dropping price tag of US$3,999.99 (RM16,999), which is $1,000 more than the standard S2. The price might be worth it for its cool, rugged look! For more information, check out Indian Motorcycle's official website.

Brando Pokemon Pikachu Wireless Mouse-It Sleeps On Your Mousepad

Behold Brando Pokemon Pikachu Wireless Mouse which sleeps on your mousepad. Did you know that Pikachu was modelled on a squirrel in his appearance? We didn't know that right? Probably because we had always presumed that Pokemon's franchise mascot was based on either a hamster or a rat, preferably the former rather than the latter because it's far too adorable to be one of those plague-causing rodents that live in the city sewers. But it turns out that we were wrong. The original artist, Atsuko Nishida, is said to have drawn it in the likeness of a tree-dwelling mouse, according to reports. With the Brando Pokemon Pikachu Wireless Mouse, none of it matters, as the small, fat, and yellow rodent is transformed into a computer mouse of the computer-gaming sort.Brando Pokemon Pikachu Wireless MouseThe most popular Pokemon of all time is now available as a mouse peripheral for your computer, allowing you to move around your desktop, drag and drop objects and execute right- and left-clicks while chanting pika-pika over and over again. Or anything along those lines. You don't have to be a total Pokemon fan to enjoy Pikachu's lovely appeal; whether you're a Nintendo fanatic who has played every Pokemon video game or just someone who appreciates the cuteness of the animated rodent, this device puts the animated rodent right on your mouse pad. Though not as cool as Razer's Pikachu gaming mouse, this wireless mouse is really loaded with maximum cuteness!Pikachu Sleeps On Your MousepadWith its eyes closed and its limbs extended out, the yellow Pokemon Pikachu is shown in a profound state of slumber on the Brando Pokemon Pikachu Wireless Mouse. So that it appears to be sleeping sweetly while it is resting on your mousepad is possible. Given the serene and happy expression on its face, we believe it did not collapse as a result of tiredness following a long and arduous training session. Or, perhaps, it did. We'll never know the truth. In any case, it rests fully flat on its stomach, making it simple to move it around on a flat surface like you would a normal mouse.Pikachu's Ears Are The Left and Right ButtonsPikachu's ears were created to serve as the right and left mouse buttons in order to keep the mouse function as discrete as possible. As a result, you won't even notice them until you're actually clicking your cursor on various elements on the screen. Yes, the buttons are fairly discrete in their placement. The scroll wheel in the centre, on the other hand, is less subtle, giving the impression that the rodent-like pocket monster has grown a little mohawk while going through a rebellious adolescent period. Or anything along those lines.It appears that the Brando Pokemon Pikachu Wireless Mouse has a resolution of 800 dpi; however, it does not appear to be customizable, indicating that it is more of a typical productivity accessory than a gaming device. This wireless mouse, like the vast majority of wireless mice, does not use Bluetooth. Instead, it comes with a little dongle receiver hidden inside the mouse that you can connect into an open USB port to pair with your computer. According to the company, the wireless connection has a range of 26 feet when used in an indoor environment.This Pikachu Mouse is powered by an AA BatteryIt's ambidextrous, with identical forms and proportions on either side, making it equally comfortable for left- and right-handed users alike. It is powered by just one single AA battery, and it's compact and lightweight. The mouse's dimensions are 4.5 x 2.9 inches, which makes it a little on the large side for a PC mouse. Thus it's probably best suited for people who have larger hands. It is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The Brando Pokemon Pikachu Wireless Mouse comes with a price tag of $51 (RM219).

Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Digital Camera

Canon Malaysia has announced that the EOS R5 C, which was introduced in select regions earlier this year and would be available locally in March, will be available in the country in March. As a video-oriented variation of the original R5 model, it has the capability of recording footage in up to 8K quality. It is armed with an advanced active cooling mechanism that allows it to record high definition films for extended periods of time without overheating.Canon EOS R5 C Arriving In MalaysiaTo refresh your memory, the Canon EOS R5 C is a mirrorless digital camera that is equipped with the same full-frame 45-megapixel sensor as the previous generation. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology and Digic X image processor from the firm are also included in the package. Unlike the original EOS R5, this particular edition, on the other hand, does not include an in-body stabilisation mechanism. Additionally, a mode switch has been added to the camera, which allows users to choose between the normal R5 mode for photography and the Cinema EOS mode for video capture.Record Video in 8K at 30fpsThe EOS R5 C is capable of delivering continuous burst shots at 12 frames per second utilising the mechanical shutter or 20 frames per second using the electronic shutter. It can also record in 8K at 30 frames per second on battery power and up to 60 frames per second when connected to an external power source. There are three separate 8K 12-bit RAW modes and a 10-bit XF-AVC mode for 4K movies available on the camera's internal memory. The fact that 4K or 1080p videos are oversampled from 8K for greater clarity and noise reduction should not be overlooked.Canon EOS R5 C Sports a New Active Cooling MechanismAs previously stated, the camera is equipped with a new active cooling mechanism, which allows it to have a broader side profile than the R5 basic model. Its built-in 3.2-inch 2.1M dot TFT LCD vari-angle screen draws in cold air through an air inlet on the right side, which is subsequently vented out the left side. Apart from that, the EOS R5 C features a 0.5-inch 5.76M dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a dedicated timecode interface for multi-camera shooting, a multi-function shoe, CF Express (Type B) and SD UHS-II memory card slots, a USB-C port, a micro HDMI port, a microphone and headphone jack combo, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, among other featuresCanon EOS R5 C Will Be Priced at RM19,899The new Canon EOS R5 C mirrorless digital camera is expected to arrive in Malaysia sometime in March, though no particular date has been announced at the time of writing. So what is the cost of Canon EOS R5 C? It is understood that the camera's body will retail for RM19,899, which is equally the same as the lens.

Oppo Find X5 Pro Flagship Smartphone-The Ceramic Beauty

It is late February again and generally, it is known as "flagship season," so naturally, Oppo is starting off the season with the launch of the Find X5 Pro, a fresh new top-tier smartphone. The Find X5 Pro, which was announced ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which officially begins on February 28th, may cause some readers to be perplexed, considering Oppo's last flagship device was the Find X3 Pro, which was released in 2021. China believes the number four to be alarming, which may explain why the Chinese smartphone manufacturer missed it this year and instead chose to launch Find X5 immediately after.Oppo Find X5 Pro-The Ceramic BeautyThe Oppo Find X5 Pro develops the previous year's model in terms of fundamental specifications. You will be mesmerized by the huge 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz refresh rate. Two 50-megapixel camera sensors are found on the rear of this device. However, there are several upgrades on the surface and the inside, making the new Find X5 Pro a formidable rival for the title of most powerful Android phone available. I have a strong feeling that it will give iPhone Pro Max and Google Pixel Pro a run for their money.6.7-inch AMOLED DisplayAside from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, the Oppo Find X5 Pro also has Oppo's new Marisilicon X imaging neural processing unit (NPU), which the company claims helps with high dynamic range (HDR) photography and low light video. The rear camera system comprises two Sony IMX766 sensors with a combined resolution of 50 megapixels, one of which is used for wide-angle photography and the other for ultra-wide photography. There's also a 13-megapixel telephoto camera on the back for zooming in, and a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the front for taking selfies.Dual 50MP Rear CamerasThe cameras on the Oppo Find X5 are excellent, with precise details and accurate colours in good light and acceptable low-light and HDR shooting. The camera has a good amount of speed. It took only 0.2 seconds to record the low-light shot below, and it performed somewhat better than a lot of other smartphones in terms of colour fidelity; nonetheless, the photo might have been a bit crisper.In Pro mode, you'll have access to Hasselblad's Natural Color Calibration, which is a feature that's not available in other modes. You also receive a pair of Master filters that have been tweaked by Hasselblad, albeit they are only usable in the camera's default Photo, Video, and Portrait modes, not in any other settings. However, not all settings are easily accessible on the camera interface, which has a million options (which includes the aforementioned Master filters, which are tucked behind the "retouch" icon).Hasselblad's Natural Color CalibrationThe selfie camera is pretty capable, and its 32-megapixel sensor can capture a great deal of detail; however, the phone had some issues with sharpness at times during our testing. There should also be a few comments regarding the phone's appearance, which sticks out amid a sea of similar-looking Android smartphones.However, while the curved edges of the display aren't the favourite feature for many people, the phone's ceramic back (which Oppo claims is scratch-resistant) is beautiful, especially in white. Even the large camera hump, which rises naturally and softly from the rear, appears to be in terrific shape. Even though the phone weighs 218 grammes, it feels exceptionally substantial and small in hand, just like a genuine flagship should.5000mAh battery that charges to 50% in 12 minutesIn addition, Oppo is well-known for its rapid battery charging technology, which has been implemented into this device. The Find X5 Pro is juiced by a big 5,000mAh battery that can be recharged from "around zero" to 50% capacity in as little as 12 minutes thanks to its 80watt VOOC. It also offers wireless charging capabilities of up to 30W and reverse wireless charging.The Find X5 Pro is equipped with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage space. Other amazing features include a built-in fingerprint sensor under the display, dual speakers, a 5G connection, and dust and water resistance up to IP68 standards. Oppo did not provide pricing or availability information at the time of writing, but it will be updated once we receive the latest news. For more information, head over to Oppo's official website.

After ushering the Tiger Chinese New year with Dyson, the company has prepared its irresistible Dyson's valentine's Day Sale-Love Is In The Hair. I really dig the slogan Love Is In The Hair! Dyson wants to celebrate its core airflow technology this Valentine’s Day with the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer and the Dyson Airwrap Styler, proving the ideal gift for loved ones.Dyson’s love affair with airflow technology has been at the heart of Dyson’s engineering journey since the beginning. Starting with the DC01 in 1993, airflow first featured in Dyson vacuum cleaners within Dyson’s cyclonic technology, then, in Dyson fans and purifiers, engineering airflow to multiply and project air further. Lastly, airflow was championed in Dyson’s haircare range to achieve the same styles at lower temperatures, maintaining hair health by reducing the reliance on heat.Dyson Valentine's Day Sale-Love Is In The HairAirflow is a core part of Dyson’s DNA. In the words of James Dyson, “in order to fix it, you need a passionate anger about something that doesn't work well.” The Dyson story focuses on solving problems others ignore, reinventing the outdated and engineering the future – but airflow is a lasting romance.Dyson Air Multiplier technologyIt all began when Dyson engineers started looking into hair care back in 2012, investing £50 million into the development of Dyson’s first-ever hair tool. Dyson engineers found that a powerful airflow could be achieved if the air was taken into a motor and accelerated over an annular aperture – this is the iconic ring-shaped head that can only be recognised as Dyson’s first-ever hair dryer, and in 2016, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer was launched.The traditional model and technology of the humble hair dryer had seen very little change since the 1960s. Traditional hair dryers often have a weak airflow and are powered by bulky motors, meaning they are slow at drying. So, Dyson invented the Dyson digital motor V9, a motor that is up to eight times faster than conventional hair dryer motors, enabling the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer to move over 13 litres of air every second.It took 25 variations of the annular aperture for Dyson engineers to fine-tune the balance between noise and performance. When engineers took James Dyson to the acoustic chamber to see the results of a pre-prototype rig, James believed the engineers had turned down the power of the machine to make it quieter. James put his hand in front of the air amplifier ring and was taken aback by the force of airflow. This soon became known as Dyson’s patented Air Multiplier technology.Dyson Coanda TechnologyJust two years after the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer hit the shelves, Dyson revealed a new way to dry and style hair within one tool: the Dyson Airwrap styler. Launched in 2018, the engineering within the Dyson Airwrap styler once again adapted the format of traditional styling tools. The question on everyone’s lips was: how does the Dyson Airwrap styler curl hair with air? The answer: the Coanda effect.The Coanda effect is an aerodynamic phenomenon. Air, when propelled at the right speed and pressure, naturally follows an adjacent surface, pulling in the surrounding air. The Dyson Airwrap Styler harnesses this phenomenon by creating a spinning vortex of air around the cylindrical-shaped barrels of the tool. The barrels attract the hair through the airflow, encouraging hair to wrap itself around the barrel and curling it using the air vortex.It took in the region of 500 prototypes to perfect the curling barrels featured on the Dyson Airwrap styler. The first two initial development rigs for the Dyson Airwrap styler came as a pair – Dyson engineers had created them side by side and the two rigs were not to be separated, causing Dyson engineers to fondly nickname these two rigs Barbie and Ken after the popular fashion doll couple – a fitting detail for Dyson fans celebrating Valentine’s Day this year.Today, the Dyson hair care tools are cherished by many universally, backed with research and engineering that continue to inspire, improve, and push innovation for everything about hair, from cortex to cuticle.Dyson Supersonic Hair DryerEngineered for different hair types, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is powerful and fast. Powered by the Dyson Digital V9 Motor, the tool uses a fast but focused airflow, is engineered for balance in the hand, is quieter than others and intelligently controls the temperature to help protect hair from extreme heat damage. Dyson’s patented Air Multiplier technology means that the volume of air coming out of the hair dryer is 3x that going into the motor, giving the user the ability of fast drying and styling while reducing the reliance on heat, making it the ideal tool to gift this Valentine’s Day.Unlike many other traditional hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer measures air temperature over 40 times a second to regulate temperature output. This prevents extreme heat damage, to help protect hair’s shine. The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is priced at RM1,899 from Dyson Demo Stores and https://www.dyson.my/products/hair-care/dyson- supersonic-hair-dryer/overview.Dyson Airwrap StylerAt the heart of the Dyson Airwrap Styler comes a radical idea: harness the Dyson Digital V9 Motor to create an aerodynamic phenomenon known as the Coanda effect. The Coanda effect occurs when a high-speed jet of air flows across a surface and, due to differences in pressure, the airflow attaches itself to the surface. Air, when propelled at the right speed and pressure, naturally follows an adjacent surface, entraining surrounding air.Taking advantage of this principle, Dyson’s team of aerodynamicists created a way to style hair using only air combined with heat. The result, whether choosing to curl, wave, smooth or rough dry hair, creates a natural look with a sleek finish, whilst helping prevent extreme heat damage, making the Dyson Airwrap styler the ideal gift for loved ones who love creating salon styles while looking after their hair.The Dyson Airwrap styler is priced at RM2,199 from Dyson Demo Stores and https://www.dyson.my/products/hair-care/dyson-airwrap/overview.Dyson Corrale StraightenerThe only hair straightener with flexing plates, the Dyson Corrale straightener features pioneering micro hinged plate technology, which flexes to shape and gather hair, applying even heat and tension to all the hair strands in every pass and keeping them perfectly aligned, reducing the reliance on heat.Much like the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer and the Dyson Airwrap styler, the Dyson Corrale straightener features Intelligent Heat Control technology. Suitable for all hair types, this unique styling tool features three precise temperatures, using a platinum sensor that measures the temperature 100 times a second. This technology communicates with a microprocessor, which in turn controls the heating system to deliver precise, accurate heat. Combined with Dyson’s 4-cell lithium-ion battery technology, the Corrale straightener also delivers cord-free performance, making it the perfect tool to gift loved ones who want to care for their hair by reducing heat damage without compromising on style.The Dyson Corrale straightener is priced at RM2,199 from Dyson Demo Stores and https://www.dyson.my/products/hair-care/dyson-corrale-straightener/overview.


The right car gadgets can drastically improve road safety. Front emergency braking, for example, can slash the likelihood of front-to-rear crashes by 50%, while rear-cross traffic warning reduces back-up crashes by 22%, Forbes reports. By choosing the right tech for your needs, you can improve your car’s performance and stay safe on the road.Stay Safe On The Road With These Helpful Car GadgetsPortable Jump StartersNot only is your car battery dying annoying, but it can also be downright dangerous in harsh weather conditions. The solution? Portable jump starters: these handy gadgets can get your vehicle up and running again safely and quickly — no jumper cables or second vehicle required. For example, the Hulkman Alpha 85 packs enough power to start 6-liter diesel engines and 8.5-litre gas engines. It also has a Force Start setting able to handle completely dead batteries. Alternatively, the compact and lightweight Weego 44s can handle most cars with 7-litre gas engines and 3.5-litre diesel. The bypass button also makes it easy to charge a totally flat battery.Front and Rear View DashcamsBy providing you with a clear picture of your surroundings, front and rearview dash cams can help improve visibility and avoid collisions. They also record real-time footage, which can prove useful if you get into an accident. The Thinkware U1000, for example, records in UHD 4K at 30fps and is packed with a host of useful features like speed warnings, speed-camera detection, and GPS. Of course, if you do end up in a road accident, it’s important to take the correct steps to protect your legal rights. This means not giving too much information to your insurance provider, who's typically looking to deny or minimize your coverage. A car accident lawyer can help you understand your legal options and how best to proceed with your accident claim.GPS TrackersPlug-in GPS trackers monitor a car’s location on a digital map and also record route history. These gadgets are a great way for parents to keep tabs on teen drivers, for example. GPS trackers also send notifications upon the car’s arrival or departure from predetermined locations. The Bouncie, in particular, is designed to monitor a car’s location, safety, and performance. It updates data every 15 seconds and automatically sends emergency notifications in the event of a collision.Thanks to the latest car gadgets, it’s never been easier to stay safe on the road. Portable jump starters, front and rearview dashcams, and GPS trackers are some of the latest pieces improving car safety.

Top 5 Pieces of Smart Home Automation That Will Enter The Household In The Next 10 Years

As the world becomes more dependent on technology, it's not surprising that people are looking for ways to integrate their lives with tech even further. Have you thought about smart home automation? What is considered "smart" varies from person to person, but one thing we can always agree upon is that we want our houses and everything in them to be as seamless and user-friendly as possible. Everyone is familiar with the concept of automation, but there are 5 particular pieces of smart home technology that will soon become household staples.What is a smart home?Smart home automation is just what it sounds like, a home that uses technology to simplify tasks and allow the occupants easier access to information. Smart homes can be as automated as you want them to be, with some features being absolutely essential while others are only used on occasion.What are the benefits of a smart home?There are many benefits to creating a smart home, but there are two main categories that these features fall under functional and lifestyle. Functional is when the appliances in your household do the work for you. It can be as simple as having your lights turn on automatically when you enter a room or telling your coffee maker what time you want it to start brewing.Lifestyle is when you can control things around your house even if you're not physically there. For example, being able to change the colours of your lights is not really essential, but it has a lifestyle factor to it.Top 5 Smart Home Pieces1 . Heating And Cooling SystemsSmart thermostats are one of the most common forms of smart home technology these days and for good reason. Using sensors to detect when you're away or sleeping, they can either cut down on energy costs or make life a lot more comfortable. Imagine getting home from a long day to a house that's the perfect temperature without having to lift a finger.2 . LocksAlthough doors and windows with electronic locks have been around for ages, they were never exactly user-friendly. Now that everything is connected to the internet, that's all changed. Not only can you control electronic locks with devices like Google Home or your phone (no more digging around for misplaced keys!), but some locks now even let you share access with other people without having to give out a physical key.3 . Light Bulbs And SwitchesWith their first release in 2012, smart light bulbs have now become a staple of smart homes. It's easy to see why too! Controls like changing the colour or intensity are just some of the many features that can be accessed with your phone. Not only do they make it easier to set up lighting before arriving home, but they allow you to turn on/off lights when you forget to or leave them on when you're away.4 . Security And Automated CamerasHaving CCTV in your home is always helpful, but there are new security cameras that go beyond saving footage for later. Some smart cameras let you know when there's motion around them and will even send alerts with photos taken of trespassers. With advanced security cameras not only are they helpful with catching thieves, but users can do things like setting up facial recognition to be alerted whenever someone is detected.5 .  Kitchen AppliancesIt may seem like a given, but one of the most overlooked smart home appliances is usually the kitchen sink. With so many different options and all of them boasting new technology like Wi-Fi connectivity and haptic feedback (some even having voice assistants built-in), they're not just improving cooking - they're changing the way we do it. One appliance with huge potential is the induction stovetop. Induction cooking heats up faster and uses less energy than regular options, meaning not only do you get a quick meal but it's cheaper too!In conclusion, there are so many great smart homes features out there and they only look to be growing in number. Not only do these features make life easier, but they're also quite affordable and can save you a lot of money in the long run. With that said, it's clear that we will see even more features enter into our homes in the next 10 years.

Honor Magic V-First Foldable Smartphone With Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Processor

Honor Magic V has just been officially announced and it is the company's first foray into the foldable market. Honor which was a former Huawei sub-brand has unveiled their very first foldable smartphone which is similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold smartphones. The Honor Magic V features a huge folding display on the inside with a smaller external screen that is still accessible when the device is folded.Honor Magic V-The Company's First Foldable SmartphoneThe Honor Magic V sports a huge 7.9-inch internal folding display with a resolution of 2272 x 1984 and comes with an aspect ratio of 10:9 which is slightly larger than that of Samsung Z Fold 3. However, the refresh rate is only 90Hz which I thought could have been better given that it is a flagship device from the company.When Hobor Magic V is folded, you will definitely appreciate its huge 6.45-inch display (compared to 6.2-inch for Samsung Z Fold 3) with a resolution of 2560 x 1080 and 21:9 aspect ratio. With a refresh rate of 120Hz, the front, external display will be eye candy for all your visual entertainment and gaming for sure.Huge 7.9-inch Internal Folding DisplayWhen Honor Magic V is in its folded form, it measures 14.3mm thick, 72.7mm wide and has a height of 160.4mm. Once you unfold the device, it will have a width of 141.1mm and a thickness of 6.7mm. Even though it sports a thinner profile when folded, the Magic V is slightly heftier compared to the Z fold. Honor CEO George Zhao has claimed that their very first foldable smartphone should be able to survive being unfolded 200,000 times which might not sound convincing enough to those who are sceptical.First Foldable Smartphone With Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 ProcessorUnder the hood, Honor Magic V is powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, complemented by 12GB of RAM plus either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. You will be happy to note that it is 5G compatible, making it relatively future-proof. Powering the device is Honor's in-house Magic UI 6.0 software. It runs on top of Android 12 which will support the opening of multiple apps at the same time for multitasking.For photography, the Honor Magic V sports triple 50MP sensors for the main rear camera which include a main sensor, an ultrawide camera and Honor's Spectrum Enhanced Camera. There are two 42MP selfie cameras with one integrated into the external display while the other could be found embedded in the internal folding screen.SuperCharge Fast Charging of 66WThe Honor Magic V will be powered by a huge 4,750mAh battery that can be charged rapidly via SuperCharge at up to a staggering 66W. The company has claimed that you can get 50% of the charge in just 15 minutes which is amazingly fast. There are 3 colour options available namely silver, black and orange. Honor Magic V with 256GB of storage will come with a price tag of CNY9,999 (RM6,599) while the 512GB model will be CNY10,999 (RM7,299). There is no mention of when it will be available in Malaysia just yet. For more information, head over to Honor's official website.
