Get a new ROG Phone 2 variant for RM1,000 less

407

One of 2019’s standout smartphones was the ASUS ROG Phone II – it’s everything a gaming phone needs to be and more. We absolutely loved the phone, as you could tell in our review here:

But at RM3,499, its out of the price range for some – thankfully, it looks like ASUS has released a much more affordable variant of the ROG Phone II that costs just RM2,499!

Spotted on popular retailers DIrectD, the only difference between the cheaper model and the existing ones is less RAM at 8GB and lower storage space at 128GB – that’s not so much a deal breaker if you consider that you’re still getting everything else that makes the phone special.

There’s a Snapdragon 855+ chipset that will run anything and everything, a 6.59-inch FHD 120Hz display, and the improved AirTrigger II. The phone cools down with GameCool II for better thermals and comes with the AeroActive Cooler II, a fan accessory that mounts to the back of your phone.

There’s also a massive 6,000mAh battery powering the phone and it supports up to 30W HyperCharge – you’ll be able to be up and running within an hour.

If you have RM2,499 to spare and want one of the best gaming phones around, this should be good news to you. Visit ASUS’
website
 here to learn more about the phone, or DirectD

 to order the ROG Phone II.

Dubbed as one of the leading public transportation platform in Malaysia, the Grab app was frequently used and is well recognized by fellow Malaysians. Less than 6 months ago, Grab has introduced their new app “GrabFood”, which connects users to its original app but instead of car rides, users could order for food delivery.

It was reported that the app was not well utilized during the first few months of operating, but as the months went by, users are slowly utilizing the app and with much success, GrabFood has doubled the amount of merchants in their app thanks to the feed backs and comments given by their users which allows Grab to know what the users expect and want out of the app.

In the lists of new merchants added into the app includes Village Park Nasi Lemak, Rojak & Cendol Mustaffa (SS17), Soong Kee Beef Ball Noodles and more. Grab has said that they will not stop adding more merchants into the app, in fact, they would like to add more local favorites into the list. Other than that, Grab has also include other famous household names such as Baskin Robbins, Texas Chicken and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

In addition to that, GrabFood has ran a few campaigns such as The People’s Pick, Bubble Tea Week, Pasta Day, and MurukkuCariku where Grab was able to introduce some their latest food outlets on the app. With that said, GrabFood has just started a new campaign for this month, known as “McDonald’s McNuggets” where users are able to get 4 pieces of chicken McNuggets for free with every order of McValue meal.

With more outlets and merchants added into the app, GrabFood has expanded the number of their delivery partners and will be delivering to more places such as Subang, Puchong and Sri Petaling.

Getting on to the technical details, the Logitech M238 Wireless Mouse features an advanced optical tracking sensor with a resolution of 1000dpi, the mouse connects to your computer using the company’s famous Unify receiver and offers users up to 12 months of battery life. As in what inspires the company to release such design to the M238, it is due to a recent trip to Milan Design Week by the team and the firm thinks that adding a little cheerful design to their always serious looking mices might make consumers smile.

Its a shame that this isn’t a laser tracking mouse or that price tag would’ve been awesome for such design, lets hope Logitech gets inspired once again and introduce its Play 2015 design to other of its consumer mouse offerings.

Get Jade Empire for free on Origin

341

Like free games? Well, you can now own Jade Empire: Special Edition for free as the game is now a part of Origin’s On The House initiative.

First released in 2005 for the Xbox, Jade Empire: Special Edition is the PC-enhanced version of Jade Empire, a martial arts/wuxia themed RPG created by Bioware.

Being one of Bioware’s earlier titles, Jade Empire was released after Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and just before the first Mass Effect game. Jade Empire features the storytelling and worldcrafting mastery of a Bioware game while improving upon the mechanics found in KotOR. Indeed, the character alignment mechanic was improved upon in Jade Empire, and this improvement would be brought over to future Bioware titles. As the game is set in a world of Martial Arts and Wuxia, many of the tropes surrounding the genre were infused into the world, creating a unique setting that has yet to be recreated in other modern RPGs.

To get the game, all you need to do is have the Origin client and an Origin account. Once you logged in, just scroll through the storefront and redeem the game for free. Hurry though, there is no telling when the game would be removed from the On The House rotation.

Get naughty and unlock the Zenfone 2 bootloader

495

We are still on our way in reviewing the
Zenfone
2
 review, our initial impressions are actually great in terms of its performance however we have uninstalled loads of bloatware that comes with the phone and the phone’s battery life isn’t satisfactory either. The folks over at XDA-Developers have actually found out a way to unlock the phone’s bootlaoder, which means we can start expecting ROM cookers start developing some custom ROMs for the powerful and affordable
Zenfone
2
.

With the Zenfone 2’s bootloader unlocked, it becomes more possible for ROM developers to port software builds and drivers from other brands and cook it into a compatible build of the device, which can eventually lead to better performance and battery life of the phone. XDA-developer user shakala is the one who made it possible and it has been tested by user ravian29 running on the latest original software build.

Of course, in order to get your Zenfone 2’s bootloader unlocked you will have to root your device and make sure you backup anything important as you might lose your data in the middle of modifying the phone’s software, unlocking the bootloader also means that you will not be able to install official ASUS ROM updates. To make life simpler for you folks, here are the links to how you can root and unlock the bootloader of the
ZenFone
2
, so start getting naughty guys but be safe as always.

Getting the new iPhones; which telco plan is better?

1.1K

Now that the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XR are available to be pre-ordered in Malaysia, Malaysia telco plans are also out with their respective device bundle so here are some of the highlights and drawbacks of each telcos.

U Mobile

U Mobile released a device bundle plan with the new iPhones. The Unlimited HERO P99 plan costs RM 99/month which has unlimited calls to all network and also unlimited data. The iPhone XR will cost from RM 2,499, the iPhone Xs from RM 3,799 and the iPhone Xs Max from RM 4,199. You will also get 30GB data for hotspot and 3GB data for roaming by signing up for the plan, and if you’re an existing U Mobile user, you are exempted from the upfront payment of RM 792.

Celcom

Next, we have Celcom that offered the iPhone models with three different plans; the device bundle, the EasyPhone Own and the EasyPhone Rent. An iPhone XR can be rented with only RM 85/month and owned with RM 117/month when users subscribe to the cheapest First Plan, the First Gold Plus that offers 40GB data, unlimited calls and unlimited WhatsApp and WeChat. The First Gold Plus comes at the price of RM98/month, and you will be tied to a 24-months contract, though you can upgrade to a new phone anytime during contract. This would be a suitable plan for those who does not want to pay a huge amount of money immediately. Plus, Celcom is giving free black carbon casing with the new iPhones.

Maxis

Now unlike the iPhone X, the new iPhones are available with the Zerolution and Zerolution 360. You can own an iPhone Xs at the price of RM 3,623 with the MaxisONE Plan 128 that offers 40GB data all day, but if you sign up for the Zerolution and Zerolution360 you’ll be entitled to zero upfront payment, credit card and interest rates, and you can own the device for RM 177/month or lease it for RM 149/month. In addition, the Zerolution 360 allows 1-for-1 immediate replacement and if you add RM 10/month, you’ll get premium benefits such as free screen replacement, backup loan phone and priority repair service.

Digi

Last but not least, we have Digi with its Digi Postpaid 80 that costs RM 80/month. The plan offers a 10GB+10GB data with unlimited calls and free 300 SMS to all network.With this plan, the iPhone XR costs from RM 2,348 (similar to Maxis), the iPhone Xs costs from RM 3,177 and the iPhone Xs Max costs from RM 3,582. Digi also offer Digi Shield, a 1 year complimentary screen crack protection, something that many users will appreciate especially when it comes to the expensive iPhone screens. Users will also be charged with upfront payment and advanced payment depending on the plans they choose.

In conclusion, these are my thoughts on the telco plans :

U Mobile – Great for those who are constantly on social media, game and video streaming and requires a lot of data.

Celcom – A rather affordable option if you do not mind the 24 months contract commitment.

Maxis – A little pricier but lets you own the device the credit card and interest rates, plus the Zerolution360 will be suitable for those are clumsier with their smartphones.

Digi – It has the lowest device price but it also comes with a 24 months contract, suitable for those who are not heavy Internet users.

Would you buy the new iPhones? If you would, which telco plan will you pick?

Getting to know Steam Machines and Steam Link

414

Valve’s attempt to enter the living room is finally happening. After quite a number of delays, Valve is finally letting PC gamers have the flexibility and convenience of console gaming and is releasing an array of new products, Steam Machine being the highlight with partnership with companies like Alienware and Digital Storm.

Steam Machines are small computers being similar sized to consoles that houses PC components. It will be running Valve’s Linux-based operating system, SteamOS, with compatibility with Valve’s new wireless Steam controller. Featuring the console-like interface, Steam Big Picture Mode, it was designed to be operated from your living room sofa than being on your desk. The only down side of this is the Linux based operating system underneath, meaning there will be reduced compatibility with most games in your Steam library. As of now, there are still quite a number of games available for SteamOS, about over 1500 games but thats a small part of Steam’s entire game catalog. The selection is mainly dominated by indie games than high-profile games which would draw more users. Gamers like me who still enjoy indie games would still be attracted by the Steam Machine’s SteamOS capabilities but then, I’d miss out with some of the top titles I’ve already owned or pre-ordered. Ark: Survival Evolved, Civilization: Beyond Earth – Rising Tide and my favorite Prison Architect will be available on the SteamOS though.

You might be thinking, could I install Windows onto a Steam Machine? Yes! You could spend money to buy Windows and install it to play the full range of games available but you’ll be doing so at your very own risk and may be voiding your warranty, according to which model you’re doing this on.

Prime advantage of the Steam Machine is their flexibility and upgradability. Most of them will allow you to upgrade your RAM and hard drive (such as an SSD or a drive of high capacity) such as the ASUS GR8 (stay tuned to our site as we will be releasing a review on the ASUS GR8 very soon). Some allow you to even upgrade the processor and graphics card.

The Steam Controller will work with any game that supports gamepads, but when you use it to replace the mouse and keyboard setup it becomes much more complex. The advantage is that it allows you to completely remap your own controls for specific games, while Valve allows users to download community-created controller maps to get going quickly.

Steam Machine, being targeted at hitting the living rooms, has the biggest drawback of lacking streaming video content. Valve will be competing for the living room space with media-streaming set-top boxes like the AppleTV, Chromecast, Nvidia Shield, Roku and many others which run on Android. Some Steam Machines feature a HDMI-in port allowing you to control your other HDMI sources like your cable box or Blu-Ray player but I feel its better for SteamOS to have native apps such as Youtube, HBO or even Netflix. Steam Machines are focused on gaming. There are few movies such as Mad Max: Fury Road, Indie Game: The Movie and Free To Play are available for download from the Steam store. There’s also a built-in web browser but its not ideal for streaming video since it doesn’t support Adobe Flash. The concept of the Steam Machine is good, but it is not an overall living-room winner. SteamOS also has a music player but no music store of its own like iTunes or streaming services like Spotify. I have high hopes that we will be seeing more apps and content made available on this platform in the future.

For gamers who already have a good gaming PC, Steam Link is a perfect match for you. It is priced at $50 (RM 210) allowing you to stream Steam games from your PC to your TV over your home network. Valve strongly recommends a wired connection from your PC to your modem and from your modem to your Steam Link for the best experience possible. It pairs perfectly with the Steam Controller, allowing you to finally game on your living room for only $100 (RM 420), making it way cheaper than buying a Steam Machine. If you’re not an existing owner of a good gaming PC or porting over from consoles, the Steam Machines will be perfect for you to play PC games in your living room.

Getting To Know U Microcredit

335

So you’ve dropped your precious phone and destroyed it in one way or another, and getting it fixed will cost you quite a bit of money. At times, getting it fixed just doesn’t feel worth the money especially if it is an old model, but at the same time, you can’t fork out a lump sum for a cool new phone. Well, there is a way to walk away with a new iPhone thanks to U Mobile’s Flexi U Microcredit.

Catered Just For You

In a nutshell, U Microcredit is a loan to own a phone of your choice. However, unlike other loans, you don’t need to put down any deposit, collateral or own a credit card. It is called Flexi for a reason, as you are able to choose how much loan you want to apply for, select the most comfortable repayment period, and pay the remaining balance in cash or credit card if there is any. You can even decide to take a full loan with the longest repayment period of 36 months should you feel that would suit your budget better. In addition, you can choose to go with a prepaid or postpaid plan with U Microcredit.

Flexible Budget Choices

The next part is to plan your repayment budget. Let’s take the new iPhone 6S. Traditionally, owning the latest iPhone would mean having to save up for a long, long time, to the point where you will probably only able to afford it once it has become an old model. However, with U Microcredit, you can take an iPhone home as soon as you sign up and pay a minimal amount.

When it comes to budgeting, you just need to do four things. First, decide on your favorite iPhone model of choice. Secondly, select a loan amount between RM1,000 to the full price of the subsidized iPhone. Then, decide how long a loan you want to take. You can choose four different repayment period: 12 months, 24 months, 30 months or 36 months. Lastly, you need to select an iPlan of your choice.

Installment Simplified

Doing complicated math may not be your cup of tea, but let’s help simplify the calculation for you. Let’s take the latest iPhone 6S as an example. The subsidized amount is at RM2925.60 for an instalment plan. Say you’ve saved enough but short of that RM1000, so you take that loan amount. With a 1.2% interest monthly for that loan, you just need to pay RM48 every month for the next 36 months for your phone, and RM31.80 for an i40 plan. Didn’t save at all? You can just take a full loan for that phone, and you will just need to pay RM114 monthly for the phone, and a fee of RM31.80 for the i40 plan. Compared to paying RM2925.60 at a go for the phone, paying monthly is still much easier to the wallet.

If you don’t want to do too much calculation, just head to U Mobile U Microcredit Instalment Calculator to check out how much you need to pay for the iPhone of your dreams.

Giada F300 and Giada G300 First Look

345

This time, we are not unboxing smartphones or tablets but a very interesting product category – Mini PCs a.k.a Barebone PCs. We have the GIADA F300 and G300 sent to us from JEHE Technology China, which both are enterprise level Mini PCs built with the very best aluminium chassis and hardware quality Check out our first look video down below.

Giada F300

The Giada F300 features a fanless design chassis, which cooling is done via a copper heatsink under the hood. The aluminium made chassis and design is supposed to make the device dissipate heat easily as well.

The Giada F300 has an Intel Core i5 4200U 1.6GHz processor, a single SO-DIMM DDR3 1600MHz slot that supports up to 8GB RAM, Intel HD 4400 Graphics, 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, Dual Wireless Antennas supporting WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Gigabit LAN, 3 Mini PCI-E slots, Built-in Bluetooth, 2 COM Serial ports and dual HDMI/Display ports.

Giada G300

The Giada G300 is a better specced model, though it doesn’t feature a fanless design, it looks much more simple and easier to manage.

The G300 has an Intel Core i5 4200U 1.6GHz dual-core processor, dual SO-DIMM DDR3 1600MHz slots that supports up to 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT630 2GB Discrete Graphics, 2 USB 3.0 Ports, 2 USB 2.0 Ports, Dual Wireless Antennas supporting WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Gigabit LAN, 2 Mini PCI-E Slots.


GIADA F300 Review

420

Computers have grown from gigantic sizes with slow processing power to very small form factors with amazing hardware onboard. With more power efficient processors coming up, PC makers today can finally come out powerful PCs with really small form factors that don’t even require powerful cooling systems onboard, such example has been realized on the GIADA F300, a fanless barebone PC that comes with a powerful Intel Haswell CPU onboard made by Chinese PC manufacturer JEHE Technology.

GIADA F300 Video Review

Enterprise Grade Hardware, Consumer Level Internals

The GIADA F300 is one of the rarest hardware design that we’ve seen in the PC market, the chassis has a heatsink like design and looks as if it is a car
audio amplifier
 in disguise, however what truly lies under the hood of the F300 is its processing hardware and generous amount of input ports. On first impressions, the GIADA F300 may look like some kind of server grade hardware, the internals are not.

GIADA F300-B8000 Hardware Specifications

Processor: Intel Core i5 4200U 1.6GHz (Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz)

Storage: Hitachi 500GB SATA Hard Disk

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4400

Connectivity: WiFi 802.11 B/G/N 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 4.0

I/O ports (rear): 2 x DisplayPort, 2 x USB 2.0, 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x Gigabit Ethernet Port, 1 x Serial COM port, 2 x Wireless Antennas

(front): 1 x Line Out, 1 x Microphone, 1 x Serial COM port, 2 x USB 3.0 ports

Expansion slots: 2 x Mini PCI-E

Power: 24W

The GIADA F300 features a fanless design which the company has managed to fit in a copper heatsink and together with the chassis to dissipate heat off the CPU, despite having a ULV Intel Haswell Core CPU, the F300 manages to hold the heat off the CPU with such a low profile cooling solution and maintains a warm temperature just like a normal PC. Best of all, the F300 merely requires similar power like a laptop.

Great performance, designed for multiple displays and peripherals

The F300 performs really well in our daily usage, though we aren’t the enterprise type of user, it has worked really reliably in performing our daily tasks, the device has never failed on us by having any hiccups or freezes. We installed
Windows 8.1
 Pro into the GIADA F300 and have all its official drivers installed, it runs flawlessly with no driver conflicts or crashes during our tests, startup speeds are fast and our apps ran smoothly as well.

With the number of input ports available, the GIADA F300 is clearly designed to be used with multiple displays and peripherals. Enterprise users will love the flexibility of the F300, the device allow users to simply upgrade the hard drive and memory by simply undoing a few screws

it even includes two Mini PCI-E slots to add on stuffs such as a broadband chip or M-SATA chip to boost the system performance.

However, here’s two things that we don’t really like – a single RAM slot and no HDMI port, though we know that the single RAM slot is able to support up to 16GB of RAM, we rarely find such memory modules in the market and it would cost a bomb to buy one;

without a HDMI port, you’ll have to resort to buying a DisplayPort to HDMI converter since most display devices out there have HDMI as a standard input option. Furthermore, DisplayPort cables aren’t as cheap and mainstream as HDMI cables.

Overall, the GIADA F300 is a capable device that enterprise users will love if they’re looking for a barebone PC form factor without having to compromise for upgradability and performance.

GIADA F300 Benchmarks

The GIADA F300 runs well in most benchmarks thanks to Intel’s Haswell CPU, the only let down would be on the graphics department since this isn’t a gaming device. With no
cooling fan
 onboard, one would usually worry on the heat dissipation on the CPU however we find it to be really good in our tests. In a room without air condition, the F300 is able to maintain an average CPU temperature of 58 degree Celsius when under load and an average of 47 degree Celsius when left idle. Check out the benchmark results that we’ve performed down below.

PCMark08

3DMark

CrystalDiskMark

System Temperature – Idle

System Temperature – Load

Verdict

From a enterprise user perspective point of view, the GIADA F300 is a device that will handle enterprise solutions such as digital signage and point of sales systems really well, the GIADA F300 is silent, powerful, yet power saving and it is a great barebone PC that we simply recommend this to anyone who wants a compact computer without sacrificing too much in computing performance. According to GIADA UK’s website, the GIADA F300 retails at £429.99 (approx. RM2300), it isn’t cheap but reasonable for an enterprise grade hardware in a compact form factor.

The Good:

+ Decent computing performance

+ Requires only 24W of power

+ Self-upgradeable

+ Generous number of input ports

+ Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth

+ Great cooling solution

+ Customization options available

The Bad

– No HDMI port

– Single RAM slot

– Reasonable pricing but not the cheapest

We rate the GIADA F300 at 4 out of 5 stars.

After a slew of gaming laptops being introduced in the recent months by the likes of ASUS, Acer and Lenovo, Taiwan-based brand GIGABYTE is joining the party too by introducing the AERO 15 Classic series as well as new additions the AORUS line-up.

The AERO 15 Classic series are thin workhorse machines targeted at content creators – they sport 9th-Gen Intel Core i9; the top of the line variant comes with an i9-9980HK CPU, while the rest have i7-9750H processors.

The line-up also offers options when it comes to graphics cards – think GTX 1660Ti. RTX 2060, RTX 2070, and RTX 2080. In terms of memory and storage options, you can get 8GB models with up to 16GB RAM, while storage offers up 512GB, 1TB and 2TB PCIe m.2 SSDs.

The AERO Classic 15 laptops are made with the “All Intel Inside” concept making them AI-enabled devices. The AI adapts to the work habits of the user and switches between usage of CPU and GPU power to provide a balance between performance and battery life.

Since it’s made for creators, the 15.6-inch laptops must have proper monitors – here you get at least FHD IPS panels that push 144Hz, while the range-topper sports a AUO 4K Adobe RGB 100% panel, which boasts accurate colours.

The AERO Classic 15 laptops are priced from RM6,999 – while the GTX 1660Ti and RTX 2080, 4K panel variants require 4-6 week pre-order wait times.

For full-fledged gamers, you’ll be glad to know that GIGABYTE is adding to their AORUS 5,7 and 15 series of gaming laptops.

Starting with the most powerful variant, the AORUS 15 is available in three SKUs – all are 15.6-inch machines while the top range model gets a 240Hz monitor, and the cheaper models get 144Hz panels.

In terms of CPU and GPU pairings, all models get the same Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, while you’re afforded either a GTX 1660Ti, RTX 2060 or RTX 2070 for graphics. These AORUS 15 laptops come equipped with “WINDFORCE Technology” which provides sufficient thermal dissipation within a thin chassis. GIGABYTE also say that the RTX laptops will carry the RTX Studio certification. You can get the AORUS 15 from RM6,399.

Lastly, if you’re looking to game on the cheap, the AORUS 5 and 7 series laptops provide a balance of power and affordability.

These laptops come with the same CPU as the AORUS 15, but they get weaker GPUs in the form of the GeForce GTX 1650 and GTX 1660Ti. The AORUS 5 is priced at RM4,999 while the AORUS 7 is priced from RM5,199.

The refreshed AORUS line-up will be available in Malaysia this July 15 through selected dealers.

GIGABYTE AIRE M93 ICE Mouse Review: A rechargeable wireless mouse that works on a variety of surfaces

250

GIGABYTE may not be all about motherboards and graphics card, just so you know, the company also manufactures PC peripherals such as keyboards, mouse, speakers and etc. If you are the tech enthusiast, you would also know that the company manufactures everything related to the e-Sports, but not quite so for this thing that we have over here this time. The GIGABYTE AIRE M93 ICE is a wireless rechargeable mouse which GIGABYTE claims that will work on any surfaces as in wood, cloth, marble (smooth stone on the package), glass and leather, it even mentions in the description that the mouse will also work on ice – yes, the freezing cold cube.

GIGABYTE AIRE M93 ICE Video Review

Ergonomics and Comfort at its best, Easy to Use Software

The mouse’s design looks very much like a gaming mouse with its ergonomic design and clearly made for right hand users, however it still feels great when I tried using the mouse with my left hand. The buttons have a tactile and solid feel and I like the smooth four way directional tilt wheel or scroll wheel, the 4 and 5 programmable keys have a good placement where my thumb can press on them comfortably. If you look closer again at the design, the company has thought well on designing the left and right buttons as they fit the same length as my index and middle finger.

The AIRE M93 is powered by a single AA battery and connects through a Nano receiver, GIGABYTE has provided a rechargeable one in the package which we are happy with that, the great thing about it is that you are able to recharge the battery by using the included MicroUSB cable and there will be no more worries about dead battery half way using the device,

simply connect the MicroUSB cable to the mouse and the other end to your computer’s USB port then your mouse will be alive again.

We were actually quite confused on what the what the free scroll and tilt button do and after a few tests we managed to figure what the company is trying to do here. Simply put, it is an alternative to the scroll wheel and you just need to hold on and move the mouse, then pages will scroll as if you are using the scroll button.

GIGABYTE has made its mouse utility software fairly simple for users, you are able to configure actions for every buttons and tilt actions on the scroll wheel, scrolling and pointer speed, there are no fancy features here so you won’t be having any issues on it.

The
Surface
 Test

We were skeptical about the mouse’s ability to work on any
surface
 with GIGABYTE’s ICE technology, therefore we tested on wood, glass, cloth and marble to find out if it really works, we didn’t test on leather and ice as we find it impractical to do so and most users won’t be using the mouse on those surfaces. The AIRE M93 ICE works great when we tested on a wood table and on top of a table cloth, however the mouse isn’t fully compatible with some marble design and simply unusable on a totally transparent glass table. Therefore, we have to conclude that the AIRE M93 ICE is still a mouse that works on limited surfaces.

Verdict

Despite of its
surface
 usage limitations, the GIGABYTE AIRE M93 ICE mouse has a well thought out design in both ergonomics and functionality, users will never have to run out of power again in a wireless mouse.

The Good:

+ Great ergonomics

+ Superb laser precision

+ Very customizable software

+ Free scroll and tilt button is simply another creative way of scrolling content

+ Charges via a MicroUSB port

The Not so Good:

– Doesn’t work on all surfaces as advertised

– Limited DPI switches

– Mouse
surface
 can get scratched easily

We rate the GIGABYTE AIRE M93 ICE mouse at 4 out of 5 stars.
