New MacBook Pro Announced, RIP MacBook Air

In lieu of Apple’s announcement that happened a few hours ago, there are a few things to take note of. Firstly, the new MacBook Pro has been announced. Everything has already been leaked, so I wonder what’s the point of that announcement anyway. Introducing some of the latest and greatest feature on a laptop ever – the new, late 2016 MacBook Pro model.
The heavily rumoured Touch Bar and Touch ID is real. This is by far the most exciting feature on the new MacBook Pro, and it has some integration with Photos, Final Cut Pro, Mail, Safari, and Keynote. This little Touch Bar can be customized too, depending on how you want it to be. And yes, Touch ID is integrated on the far right corner of the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar.

What is most surprising is that Apple makes 2 variants of the new MacBook Pro 13-inch. There’s one with 4 USB-C ports and has Touch Bar, whereas the other one has only 2 USB-C ports without Touch Bar.

It also has a brand new display too – with 500 nits of brightness, 67% higher contract ratio, and 25% more colours than sRGB. It is still an IPS LED panel with 2560×1600 pixels though. Same old retina resolution.
Other than that, it received a mild physical redesign for its speakers, keyboard with Butterfly Switch v2 and only 14.9mm thin for the 13-inch model, 15,5mm thin for the 15-inch model.
Pretty much everything is the same as the leaks, actually.
As for the prices, it starts off RM 6,299.00 for the 13-inch model without Touch Bar and ends at RM 11,999.00 for the 15-inch model with top-of-the-line specs.
Pretty much everything is the same as the leaks, actually.

R.I.P. MacBook Air
So… at this point of time, we kinda already expected the MacBook Air 11-inch to die out completely. Having an iPad Pro and the brand new MacBook 12-inch squeezing out the MacBook Air 11-inch from its comfortable position,  the future is bleak. And it did happen. Apple killed the MacBook Air 11-inch completely. Even the 13-inch version isn’t updated at all.
If you visit the Buy Now page for the MacBook Air, there’s only the 13-inch version available. 11-inch version is nowhere to be seen.
Apple didn’t even bother to center align the content…
A few things is expected to happen – death to MagSafe, death even of the MacBook Pro with optical drive and hard disk, and death to the MacBook Air 11-inch. Gone are the days where you can yank off the power cable without dragging your MacBook into oblivion!
The question now is this – should you buy a MacBook Air? The answer is pretty much no. 11-inch is dead, 13-inch hasn’t been updated for nearly 600 days now. However, this is the lowest-priced MacBook that Apple sells now at RM 4,199.
Seems like Apple just gave us a big “F**K YOU” to those who wanted to get an entry-level MacBook for doing stuff on-the-go (me included).

Samsung Malaysia Electronics Donates One Galaxy Tab A To PINTAR Foundation For Every RM500 Spent

In this point of time, we’re mostly focusing on the negatives that are going on with life. What happened to the positives and the good things? That’s why we’re focusing on this positive note here today. It’s from Samsung Malaysia Electronics, and they’re giving hope to those in the PINTAR foundation. How? By donating a Galaxy Tab A for every RM500 that we spend.
The whole mechanism behind this motion is simple. From 19th to 23rd August 2017, purchases of RM500 and above on Samsung products within the Samsung Official Store on Lazada (link here) will contribute to a pool where Samsung Malaysia Electronics will donate Samsung Tab A tablets to 50 deserving “Tokoh Sukan 2017” winners from 50 selected under-served schools under the Pintar Foundation School program.

Tokoh Sukan 2017, organized by schools in Malaysia under of the Ministry of Education, is an award to recognize students’ achievements in co-curricular activities, particularly in sports. The criterion of a Tokoh Sukan 2017 is based on the students’ highest achievements for the year – be it at school, district, state, national or international level. With the impending 29th SEA Games (Kuala Lumpur 2017), Samsung Malaysia Electronics is partnering with Lazada to launch Lazada’s Mega Sports Day Expo to encourage more students to become active in sports.

Simple enough, right? Sure, for us it is that simple. Early exposure to technology is always a better thing as children can learn more about the internet before fully diving into the infinite depths of the web. Heading down there without any prior experience of how the internet works is a little overwhelming.
For underprivileged students of today, they do not have this chance. It’s saddening nonetheless, and it’s always good to see a company trying to do something to help out. A little seed of hope can grow into something much larger and initiate a change in the butterfly effect cycle.
Thanks, Samsung Malaysia Electronics and Lazada Malaysia!

Synology shares what’s coming next year and it is not only just about storage solutions

Over the last few days, Synology has announced what will be coming next year and offered a little sneak peek of a little bit of everything.

First things first, The DSM version 7.2 will be coming with full volume encryption alongside storage performance boosts as high as 48%. The properties of immutable backups found in Hyper Backup will make their way into a folder category called Write Once, Read Many to prevent any tampering for ensuring the authenticity of past records.
For the private cloud section of the Synology Drive, several quality-of-life functions will become usable like remote wipes, download policy management, watermarks, and automatic login via AD credentials.

A new management platform will also debut for the Active backup and C2 Backup that can bridge an IT infrastructure seamlessly to provide absolute control over backup-related tasks regardless of location and scale. IT admins and MSPs will have greater efficiency in terms of protecting and ensuring the speedy recovery times of any device or service.
Touching on the subject of scale-out systems, the first generation of these powerful servers will come out armed with more than 12PB of effective capacity when opting for maxed-out clusters of 60 server units offering 60GBps sequential writing speeds, and more than 80K concurrent connection.

For the CCTV section, the new 500 Series IP cameras will be released around early 2023 that combine performance, security, and integration into an easily usable monitoring unit directly accessible via Surveillance Station.
Coming in form factors of wall-mounting or ceiling mounting, they are using a 5MP wide-angle sensor that can record 3K 16:9 footage at 30FPS and they support PoE therefore no additional power lines are required. Used mainly for guarding premises both indoors and outdoors with these IP67 waterproof cameras.

One of the things that are not really 2023 is the WRX560 Wi-Fi 6 router that offers Synology’s iconic network management features into the affordable market. Equipped with powerful internal dual-band radios and a 2.5GbE LAN/WAN port, it can be set up as a mesh node to any RT6600ax router if the situation rises or you may use it directly as a standalone solution. It will launch globally on November 2 at USD209.

[PSA] Here’s how to spot a FAKE Redmi AirDots (a.k.a. Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic)

With true wireless earbuds being so popular these days, many people are eyeing on the best one available at a certain price. That’s where the popularity of the Redmi AirDots comes in – and yes, they’re by Xiaomi and also known as the Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic in certain regions of the world. There are many fake ones out there too – and we have some general guidelines on how to spot them.
In this article, we’ll be going through a few different common misconceptions of the Redmi AirDots and the Mi True Wireless Earbuds. The Redmi AirDots is currently available in Malaysia, known as the Mi True Wireless Earbuds here, at only RM99. Learn more about it here.

The name difference
I don’t know why but Xiaomi uses different names for the same product in different regions. The few examples I can give here is the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro. In Malaysia, they’re known as the Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro respectively. The same goes for the Redmi AirDots as they are officially known as the Mi True Wireless Earbuds in Malaysia.
The authenticity cannot be determined by just the name of the product since it officially has two names. So we’ll have to dig further.
Packaging differences
Thanks to Pinoy Techdad, he showed off both the fake and real Redmi AirDots side by side. The biggest difference in the blue color. You can see that the fake one is lighter, whereby the real one is in a much darker shade of blue.
Left is fake, right is real
Even the texts under the case are different
The Redmi AirDots has its technical specs printed at the underside of the cradle (a.k.a. case) like many other true wireless earbuds in the market. Comparing the fake and authentic ones, the fake ones have a really jarring brightly colored text as though it is written with a liquid paper. The authentic one has its text printed at a slightly lighter grey color compared to the case’s color.
Left is real, right is fake.
The earbuds L and R side indicator
The earbuds have an L and R to indicate which side is left and right. The fake one has an embossed text instead. It might not be obvious, but it is one of the main differences.
This is fake.
This is real.
Which one did we review?
It’s safe to say that we reviewed the real Redmi AirDots. How did we know? The packaging was in a darker shade of blue and the text under the case is not in the jarring white color.

How can we buy the real Redmi AirDots / Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic?
Unfortunately, if you’re buying online, then there is no easy way to determine its authenticity. Currently, you can find it for as low as RM50 – but it’s mostly fake. We recommend buying it officially from Xiaomi Malaysia’s official Lazada Store or at Shopee.
There are two reasons why we recommend to do so:

Authenticity is guaranteed
Able to claim warranty locally at any Mi Stores nationwide

And hey – do check out our review of the Redmi AirDots here too.

Samsung Galaxy Buds launched

When we first saw the Samsung Galaxy S10 leak here, we already knew that the Galaxy Buds will be launching at the same time as the Galaxy S10 series itself. And we were right – here’s the Galaxy Buds.
The Galaxy Buds is actually functioning like a true wireless earbud (similar to the Sudio Niva) and you need to charge the case to charge the individual earbuds. The two earbuds are not tethered to each other but communicates wirelessly.

The case of the Galaxy Buds has the dimensions of 26.5 x 70 x 38.8mm while weighing in at 41 grams. The case itself has a 252mAh battery. You can wirelessly charge the Galaxy Buds or plug in a USB-C cable at the back of the case.
As for the individual earbuds, it is measured at 19.2 x 17.5 x 22.5mm with the weight of just 6 grams each. Each earbuds come with 58mAh battery.

Once again, we do not have the local pricing or availability date just yet. We will surely be there to report when we have more information. However, pre-ordering the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones might get you a free Galaxy Buds 😉

Review – OPPO Reno8 Z

A few short months ago, we reviewed the OPPO Reno7 Z. Now, we have the new OPPO Reno8 Z. Technically, it’s not that new. It’s just with a fresh new coat of paint. Everything inside is identical to the OPPO Reno7 Z.
So, let’s speedrun through this phone once again, and then we have quite a lot of thoughts to share after that.

So, what’s identical to the OPPO Reno7 Z? Everything except the design, actually. If you put both the Reno7 Z and the Reno 8Z on GSM Arena and click “differences”, you’ll see that most of it are the same. Of course, GSM Arena isn’t 100% accurate.

Let’s quickly run through each aspect of the phone then.
The chipset – it’s going to perform the same as the Snapdragon 695 chipset. The performance is going to be the same and while you can still play Genshin Impact, the performance dips are very frequent. Again, it depends on how tolerant you are of these performance drops.

They also got the same 8GB RAM with 128GB of storage so that everything will be the same. Don’t @ me with the RAM Extension feature – because we already did another video about how RAM does NOT affect your game performance.

The battery life I’m just going to show you on the screen here. It’s still using the exact same 4,500mAh battery so it’ll last the same as the OPPO Reno7 Z.

Then for the charging time, it also comes with the 33W SuperVOOC charger so it’ll charge from about 15% to 100% in about 60 minutes – so nothing has changed there as well.

The camera is also identical – the same triple camera setup but only one of it is usable to take pictures and if you want to see the pictures taken, watch the video at the top of this review.

As for the screen, it’s using a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen with 60Hz refresh rate and the colors are really good. We also took out our colorimeter and tested that it is covering virtually 100% of sRGB and 96% of DCI-P3 with a low Delta E number.

The maximum brightness is only at about 440 nits so that means it’s not bright enough to be used under direct sunlight.

Software is something that I don’t want to talk much about here. It’s using the latest ColorOS 12.1 and it looks and feels the same as before – and there is still a lot of bloatware too.

The only thing that changed is the color of the device. We have something called the Dawnlight Gold here and it looks… very sparkly. It changes colors depending on what angle we’re looking the phone at, and combined with the glitter and matte finish on top, I’m sure many people will call it gaudy. What caught me off-guard is the camera cutout area. It’s using the OPPO Reno 8 Pro’s camera cutout shape, but made into a glossy finish instead.

Oh, it still has the OPPO Breathing Lights. It acts like a notification LED or a charging indicator.

Why did OPPO launch the Reno8 Z?
Okay, with all of that out of the way, why did OPPO launch the same device again? Well, there are two ways to look at it. One, is that OPPO wants to keep the brand name awareness consistent, so they just relaunch the same device with minimal differences with a different name. We’ve seen this relaunching method done in a much more extreme manner by another phone brand.

The other way to look at this is that OPPO had to follow the tradition of launching triple 3 phones with each generation of Reno phones – let’s say the Reno 7 for example, they launched the Reno 7 and the Reno 7 Pro, then the Reno7 Z at a slightly later date. To continue with that tradition, OPPO had to release the Reno8 Z. However, since there is a new generation of Reno phones in less than 6 months and there are either no new hardware in the market or just save on R&D cost, they just rehash an existing device with a new coat of paint.
Hey, at least we have double the storage to 256GB. That justifies the extra RM100 price increment, at least.

… and a few others as well. Somehow, it was not included in the Samsung Galaxy S III (Malaysian version) as it promised that this app is an exclusive for this particular device.

Of course we won’t just tease you and not giving you access to it. Flipboard has announced free downloads and you can sign up for their newsletters to receive updates from them directly about the Android version.

Don’t you just want to experience it for yourself?

Flipboard had just released its latest beta version (it’s beta, so expect super frequent updates!) for Android, so expect glitches and bugs around the rough edges!
Download link here!

UPDATE : A newsletter just dropped in my email this morning announcing that Flipboard is now officially available on Google Play with Google+ integration too!

Review – Creative Outlier Pro

We’ve been testing out a lot of TWS earbuds for the past years. Ranging from the high-end to the ultra-budget ones, the one thing we realized is that the price doesn’t define the value that we’re getting. The Creative Outlier Pro is one of those that offer fantastic value for the rather premium segment.

Unboxing
The box of the Creative Outlier Pro is fairly simple. We do have all of the necessary information on the box – and the Creative Outlier Pro has two companion apps to be used.

Opening up the box, we do have the quick start guide printed on the lid of the box which I think is a nice touch. I mean, no one will ever miss it.

Digging out everything from the box, we have bunch of documentation, spare earbud tip sizes ranging from the S, M, and L, a short USB-A to USB-C charging cables, and also the Creative Outlier Pro itself.

The Creative Outlier Pro itself
The entire Creative Outlier Pro is very similar to the other versions of the Outlier series of TWS earbuds. The case can be pushed open to reveal the charging pins for the earbuds themselves.

On the side of the case, we have the L and R earbud battery indicator LEDs and also the case battery status LED, and also a USB-C port for charging everything.

Earbud design
At first glance, the earbuds seem to be big. However, the earbuds themselves are actually very comfortable. The shape and contours are naturally conforming to the human’s ear shape.

The largeness of the earbuds is actually facing outwards only and it provides a larger surface area for the touch gestures to work properly. Yes, there are the usual ANC and ambient mode gestures, alongside the gestures to change the volume or change tracks – that’s about it.

I personally wore the Creative Outlier Pro to the dentist, go out while waiting for someone to finish their long shopping marathon, and on many more occasions. The lightweight of the Creative Outlier Pro makes it comfortable to wear for many hours and it didn’t fall out my ears too.

The sound quality of the Creative Outlier Pro is actually very good. The only want I can describe it is “versatile”. While the sound quality by default is not going to suit everyone, the included apps and the features will make everyone fall in love with it.

The Creative app
The app in itself is fairly simple in terms of interface and also the features offered – but they are essential.

Firstly, we have the equalizer. There are already a few presets for us to use or we can fine-tune the equalizer to change the frequency response curve entirely. For me, I find that the music preset EQ is already good enough – and I’ll just use that. But we’ll return to this later.

The noise control feature is also pretty simple in terms of its interface but we can tune the intensity of the ANC and ambient mode levels here.

And of course, we can also customize what the gestures should do. I left everything in default – but you can change it to whatever you want.

Then comes the device settings. We can change the name of the earbuds if we choose to do so or just use the default name of “Creative Outlier Pro”. What’s interesting is that the Creative Outlier Pro also has a low-latency mode to mitigate Bluetooth audio delay – but is it effective?

We used the Superpowered Latency Test app and this is what we got.
          “Low latency” turned off            “Low latency” turned on
I’d say the latency is pretty low – but we’re talking about Bluetooth audio delay standards here. If you’re thinking of gaming using TWS earbuds – especially competitive games like PUBG or COD Mobile or even Apex Legends and such, then it’s always best to get a pair of wired earphones.
Lowest latency is always to use wired earphones.
The Creative Super X-Fi app
The second app that you can use with the Creative Outlier Pro is the Super X-Fi app. Technically, this app is a music player that plays all the music that you saved on your phone – but it comes with one extra feature, the “personalize” feature.

You can use this feature to scan your head (particularly your ear pinna) so that the Creative Outlier Pro can playback music that matches your ear shape.
I find this process to be extremely awkward since it is very difficult to aim the phone’s cameras to your ears from a straight angle and I also doubt its effectiveness since this is a TWS earbud anyway. Maybe if you get the over-ear headphones, it would work better.
Other than that, this is a pretty basic music player app.
Should you buy the Creative Outlier Pro?
I think that the Creative Outlier Pro is pretty premium in terms of the sound quality, features, and especially the app that it offers. As a holistic experience, it is very complete and thorough.

The sound quality is great and the app offers features to fine-tune the experience to make it sound even more suitable for your own ears.
At the price of USD $89.90(without discount), I can wholeheartedly recommend it if you can make use of the features.

Paired with the Apacer iFileBridge app, you can manage your files efficiently with several exclusive features, such as “one-touch backup”, which instantly frees up your phone memory as you backup your files, or “capture-and-store”, which saves photos and videos directly into AH790 without ever occupying space in your phone. It is MFi certified product, fully compatible with iPhones and iPads.

Easy File Sharing with Dual Interface

Equipped with Apple Lightning and USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A dual interface, it is easy to transfer data between iOS devices, desktops, and laptops just by swiveling and plugging it in. During use, the extended length design of Lightning connector facilitates easy insertion into any device, without having to remove a mobile phone’s protective cover.
iFileBridge app enables one-touch backup and direct capture and store
This product is built to say “screw you” to memory limitations in Apple products. iFileBridge, an exclusive app designed by Apacer, works to easily manage the files on your iOS device and in AH790. The “One-touch backup” function can duplicate data from the iOS device to the AH790, keeping all of the contact list information, photos, and videos fully stored, while releasing your phone’s memory space.
When performing memory-intensive actions such as photos and video recordings, there is no need to transfer files back and forth. You can literally capture pictures and videos directly into the AH790 through the “capture-and-store” feature. Or you can watch movies on it too – just save the movies you want to watch, and let iFileBridge app play the video for you.
360-Degree Swivel Cap Design

Zinc alloy is adopted to characterize AH790 with a quality and durability that is in line with the aesthetics of iPhone and iPad. The 360-degree swivel cap is designed to pause at four directions to make the spin more precise, always keeping the Lightning connector protected when not in use. The strap hole is functional too, as you can attach your favorite accessory and turn your AH790 into a personalized charm.
Apacer AH790 is Apple MFi Certified
Certified by Apple MFi, AH790 functions with a superb quality. It is available in two memory capacities: 32GB and 64GB. With the potentials opened up, users can rest assured that their enjoyment with iOS products will no longer be limited by the default memory!

Wow. This is indeed a great achievement to be celebrated indeed. 9 million isn’t a small figure too – and it only took them from April this year till today to get here. Of course, Huawei did organize an event to celebrate the Huawei P9’s 9 million sales figure.
Side note – the Huawei P9 is the first ever smartphone that Huawei  has projected to sell over 10 million units globally!

They actually invited Scarlett Johansson to Shenzhen, China for a fan club engagement party! She has said that “the Huawei P9’s excellent camera gave her greater confidence to capture every moment”.
I can’t wait for what the Huawei Mate 9 brings to the table. I’m already excited for the Huawei P10, actually.

Review – Vivo X90: Pay attention to this phone

Here comes Vivo’s latest flagship smartphone – the X90. This new X90 family of smartphones are split into a total of 3 different variants – the X90 base model that we have here, the X90 Plus, and also the X90 Pro+. I’m really glad that Vivo Malaysia sent us the base model of the X90 because I think this phone is adequate enough to be compared with many other high-profile phones in the market.
So, let’s begin.

Design
Starting off, I want to talk about the design. It has a curved edge design from bot the front and the back, making it supremely comfortable to hold. The curvature is just nice to the point that it still makes the volume and power buttons easy to press and not too sharp. That Breeze Blue color is also stunning, and that matte finish just makes the phone look so much more unique.

However, I really don’t like that “XTREME IMAGINATION” tagline. Makes the entire phone looks so tacky and ruins the aesthetics.

Of course, we have the ZEISS logo and the specs of the lens printed somewhere along this corner too.

Cameras
With that, we should talk about the cameras. The Vivo X90 comes with a total of 3 cameras. Yes, only 3 even though there are 4 camera holes housed in this big circular camera cutout.

At first, I was surprised that the telephoto does not have autofocusing. That means it is meant for landscape and super long-range shots only as the focus is fixed at infinity.
Either way, the Vivo X90 does have a lot of features in the photo app. We’ll go through the most basic first by not having anything extra turned on.
To have a look at all the pictures, watch our video at the top of this review. We talk about the videography too.
Screen

To view all of the pictures and videos taken, we have a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate maximum and the native resolution of 2800×1260 but Vivo lock it down to 2400×1080 out of the box. No idea why – just something for you to take note of.

The screen in itself is actually great – covering 99.96% of sRGB and 98.29% of DCI-P3 color gamuts with a maximum Delta E number that’s less than 2.

The maximum brightness is at around 530 nits which is adequate for day-to-day use indoors but under direct bright sunlight, it might be difficult to see what’s happening on the screen.

What I don’t like about this display is the location of that under-display fingerprint scanner. They placed it way too low on the display and that’s just not ergonomic.

Performance
One great thing about this phone is the chipset. Powered by the latest and greatest MediaTek Dimensity 9200, this phone is amazing. In our gaming test, we showed that this phone – even though there are some occasional hiccups that I think are due to the game itself – managed to maintain a high frame rate throughout the entire Genshin Impact playthrough at the highest graphical settings. It even managed to maintain at around 40°C in an air-conditioned room of 27°C ambient – and that’s amazing.

Battery life
And the efficiency, well, that 4,810mAh battery managed to surprise me. We use the PCMark battery life test with the phone’s brightness locked down to 100 nits brightness – and we did this test twice. First with the lowered resolution of 2400×1080 pixels and the second time at 2800×1260 pixels. Like what we found out years ago, the resolution doesn’t affect the battery life that much and we got about 16 hours through this test. 16 hours! That’s insane and has never been achieved by high-performing chipsets before.

Charging
The Vivo X90 also comes with a 120W charger and we’re using our new charging test methodology for this phone too.

We are able to get the exact voltage level of the battery to determine its percentage alongside the temperature while charging. The result is that the battery from 15% to 100% in about 40 minutes. The maximum temperature is slightly above 40°C during fast charging, and that’s still very safe.

Unfortunately, the Vivo X90 does not support USB-PD charging standard – so our Ugreen 100W GaN charger only charges this phone at 18W maximum – and it took about 65 minutes to fully complete its charging from 15%.

Software
Finally – the software. The Vivo X90 is running on Funtouch OS 13 on top of Android 13. I do think that Funtouch OS is underrated as the settings menu navigation and the overall look and feel is actually quite good.

The camera UI, even though it has a lot of features and options packed in, doesn’t feel overwhelming. I think they managed to space things out nicely.

There’s a bunch of pre-installed apps including the Hot Games and Hot Apps that stemmed out from Vivo’s own app store called the V-Appstore. And this V-Appstore also pushes out a lot of ads via notifications too.

A few more things to mention
And here are a few more things that I want to point out before ending this review. The Vivo X90 in particular uses a USB 2.0 port at the bottom. From what I can find out, the X90 Pro and X90 Pro+ use USB 3.

But since this phone is using a USB 2.0 port, that means no HDMI output via USB-C too.
This phone also does not have microSD card support and no audio jack like many other phones – but it does have IP64 rating.

Should you buy the Vivo X90?
Okay, conclusion time – Well, the price of the Vivo X90 is at RM3,699 and I honestly have to say – it’s actually a good price. It’s a slight increase over the X80 from last year, which I think is reasonable, to be honest.
It has a unique camera system, a great chipset with exceptionally good battery life – and a great design. Just drop the “XTREME IMAGINATION” and it’ll look even better.

ASUS Announces TUF Gaming FX505 & FX705 Laptops

Not long ago, we saw the release of the TUF Gaming series of laptops. TUF Gaming was actually originated from their rebranding of TUF series motherboards to budget-oriented “gaming” motherboards, and was then mimicked into the gaming laptop lineup as a spinoff brand. ASUS TUF Gaming laptops are focused on the budget gaming laptop lineup – and we managed to take a sneak peek of the TUF Gaming FX505 during our trip to Taipei.
TUF Gaming is not a part of ROG by the way. Ignore the ROG logo in the background.

Finally ASUS puts a TUF Gaming logo on the TUF Gaming laptop.
As the name implies, the TUF Gaming FX505 is the 15.6-inch version, whereas the FX705 is the 17.3-inch version. I actually like ASUS’s laptop naming scheme. The TUF Gaming FX505 and FX705 feature up to Intel Core i7-8750H processors and up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 144Hz NanoEdge displays.
Both the FX505 and FX705 feature up to 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz RAM, a 512GB PCIe SSD, and a 1TB FireCuda solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD) for to store your games and files.
ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 in Red Fusion variant.
FX505 and FX705 both also feature FHD IPS-level NanoEdge displays with refresh rates up to 144Hz and has a matte non-reflective coating for better outdoor use. The display panel covers the entire sRGB color gamut and produce vivid colors even at wide viewing angles. The NanoEdge design features significantly slimmer side bezels than traditional laptops, thus making the laptop smaller in terms of footprint.
Webcam is at the top – which is good.
The keyboards have an ample 1.8mm of key travel, and exclusive ASUS Overstroke technology raises the actuation point higher in the stroke to improve responsiveness. Inspired by desktop keyboards, the key caps are dished, the arrow keys are isolated, and defined gaps make the function keys easier to find. Backlighting comes in customizable RGB or a red glow that matches the chassis accents.

And yes, the TUF Gaming FX505 comes in a total of 3 different designs – Gold Steel, Red Fusion, and Red Matter. The FX705 only comes in two designs – which is Gold Steel and Red Matter. Not sure what’s the exact difference, but we presume that the specs are tiered according to the design.
FX505 in Gold Steel, Red Fusion, and Red Matter.
As for audio, both the TUF Gaming FX505 and FX705 come with DTS Headphone:X technology that is integrated. Be it headphones or speakers, preset profiles for games, movies, music, and sports can produce tailored audio experiences for every situation.

One particularly great feature in both the FX505 and FX705 is the presence of a gigabit Ethernet port as well as Intel’s latest 2×2 MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 WiFi for connection speeds up to 1.73Gbps with compatible routers. Both laptops have HDMI ports for connecting additional displays and two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and one USB 2.0 port for peripherals.

The FX505 and FX705 also feature HyperCool system, with independent fans and heatsinks to cool the CPU and GPU separately. The design also places the fans directly underneath the keyboard to help remove heat, keeping the keyboard cool and comfortable during extended gameplay sessions. The patented trapezoid-cut lid allows more air to be ejected from the rear, improving cooling performance by up to 25% over other designs.

Cooling performance can degrade over time, with dust and particle build-up impeding airflow through thermal fins: patented ASUS dust tunnels help to guide dust and particles off to a separate chamber to be ejected from the system, keeping the thermal fins clear for stable long-term cooling performance.
Prices and availability are still up in the air, but we think that the new ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 and FX705 will be adopted in the mass market.

Review – Redmi Note 9S: Buy this!

When the Redmi Note 8 Pro came to our hands, we said that it is one of the best mid-range phones we’ve tried at that time – especially for its main 64MP camera. Fast-forward to today, we have the new Redmi Note 9S. Xiaomi fulfilled its promise of bringing the latest and greatest device to Malaysia as soon as possible – and this is the second time they’ve done so.
There is a lot of hype and anticipation for the Redmi Note 9S – and it’s safe to say that Xiaomi did not disappoint. For the price of RM799 – here’s all you need to know about the Redmi Note 9S.

Unboxing
The whole box design is rather simple. Nothing spectacular here but it does show how the phone looks like – and that’s all that matters.

Digging out everything, we have:

The Redmi Note 9S itself
A TPU case
USB-A to USB-C cable
22.5W charger (more on this later)

Design
One thing I find funny is the colors available for the Redmi Note 9S. Officially, there are three colors to choose from – Aurora Blue, Glacier White, and Interstellar Grey – which we have here.

When I unboxed this phone, the first thing that came into my mind is a question – you sure this is grey? In the official renders provided by Xiaomi, it’s grey for sure. But looking at it in person, it’s pretty much bluish. My family members looked at it and said it’s blue too.
But I’m not complaining. I like this subtle hint of blue on the phone. It’s unique, though I think it shouldn’t be called grey. The included TPU case does make it black, though.

The new Redmi Note 9S is also sandwiched with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 – which means it is covered from the front and the back. Moreover, Xiaomi also included a film screen protector right out of the box!
Like some of the newer mid-range smartphones we’ve seen, Xiaomi integrated the power button with the fingerprint scanner and moved it to the side. Nice.

Connectivity & Ports
The Redmi Note 9S is pretty much top-notch in terms of connectivity here. We have 5GHz WiFi support, triple card slots, and an IR blaster at the top.

The IR blaster is something that I’ve been accustomed to since using the Mi 9 as a part of my daily driver for a year. I control virtually control air conditioners, fans, TVs, and even my Nikon D7000 camera using the Mi 9. It’s something convenient to have.

Also, the Redmi Note 9S has an audio jack and a USB-C port for charging. Pretty much the norm for all the modern mid-range smartphones nowadays.
Display
The Redmi Note 9S comes with a rather large 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen with 2400×1080 pixels in resolution – and it has a circular cutout at the center top of the display. It’s a nice display and I love it.

Cameras
Oh – here’s the interesting part. Firstly, a lot of people were saying that the camera bump is huge. But honestly, it’s not. And here’s the camera spec that the Redmi Note 9S has:

Quadruple rear-facing cameras

Main: 48MP f/1.8 with PDAF
Ultra-wide angle: 8MP f/2.2 with autofocus
Macro: 5MP f/2.4 with autofocus
Depth sensor

16MP f/2.5 selfie camera

Xiaomi made a lot of big claims about the cameras on the Redmi Note 9S. Since we’re stuck in this restricted movement order, we can’t go out and take beautiful pictures. We’ll make do with what we have.
For all the picture samples, please watch the video at the top of this review.
Software – Android 10 with MIUI 11.0.1.0
We’ve been accustomed to MIUI over the year. There’s nothing particularly different from the previous versions of MIUI, and it works overall. At least the Redmi Note 9S is using the latest version of Android and MIUI.

I have to say, the Redmi Note 9S that we have on our hands for review only has 4GB RAM. While 4GB RAM might sound like it’s sufficient, the way MIUI handles it is quite aggressive. We constantly have the launcher killed, too.
The screen randomly lights up as well. A small matter, but just something to point out.
Performance & gaming
I think this is the part where many of us are interested in. Here is the hardware that comes with the Redmi Note 9S:

6.67-inch IPS LCD screen

2400×1080 pixels in resolution
Punch hole notch at the center top
60Hz

Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G
4GB RAM
64GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD)
5,020mAh battery

Supports 18W fast charging

In terms of performance, take a look at these benchmarks here. It’s pretty much the best in the market right now. We can’t exactly trust the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset benchmarks as MediaTek as a chipset vendor has been cheating in benchmarks.

Gaming
As for gaming, it’s going to be sufficient for many of the games that we’ve tested. Most notably, PUBG Mobile can run at ultra frame rate with the lowest graphical settings.
Battery & charger
With a massive 5,020mAh battery, the Redmi Note 9S manages to last for a supremely long time in our battery life test. A little too scary, to be honest. Combined with the supremely power-efficient Snapdragon 720G chipset, the Redmi Note 9S manages to last more than 20 hours in our battery life test.
Just wow.

Charger
For whatever reason, Xiaomi included a 22.5W charger in the box – because why not? However, the Redmi Note 9S itself can only charge at 18W maximum. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to your phone.

The charging time is pretty good for a 5,020mAh battery as it takes about 130-ish minutes to charge from 15% to 100%. Remember – a single charge means we can use it for 2 days.

Wrapping up the Redmi Note 9S review
The new Redmi Note 9S is a beautiful mid-range smartphone. It’s classy and does not have any tacky lightning bolt design on it. It’s a sleek device with a unique color – remember, our Interstellar Grey looked bluish – and it felt great on my hands.
We’ve used lots of Xiaomi phones in the past and we’ve also been accustomed to MIUI. It does work well despite having room for further improvement.

The Redmi Note 9S is available in two different configurations. The one we have here is the base model and is available at RM799.

4GB RAM + 64GB storage @ RM799
6GB RAM + 128GB storage @ RM899

With all things considered, the Redmi Note 9S is an easy recommendation. But we will suggest splurging a little and get the higher-specced version with 6GB RAM. That’ll offer an even better user experience.

HONOR MagicBook 14 gets new model with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage; RM2,999 and pre-order starts July 24

Around 2 weeks ago, we got our hands on the release of the HONOR MagicBook 14 that comes with Ryzen 5 3500U, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD storage for a low price of RM2,499. Despite having a higher price than the original MagicBook, its price to performance proposition speaks great value especially for students and jobs who mostly perform documenting tasks.
Many laptops with this list of spec have one common downside – that 8GB RAM. In 2020, it’s like a minimum requirement in my opinion where multitasking is fairly essential and with the number of Chrome tabs being opened these days, I would say that 16GB is the sweet spot here.

The 256GB SSD would be as snappy as it should be but after ruling out Windows 10 OS and storage overhead, you are left with barely 200GB of raw space for storing your files which is quite not enough in the long run.
And HONOR is aware of this situation and has released an all-new buffed up model that comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD that charges you for an extra RM500, placing it at RM2,999. If you need this modern-day standard config and have a wider budget, you could consider this for your next purchase. Hey, you don’t even need to do the upgrade the memory and storage by yourself as HONOR has done it for you.

You can either place your order starting July 24 through the HiHonor online store or through any physical HONOR Experience Store and you’ll get the following freebies depending on the chosen platform:

HiHonor: HONOR Bluetooth Mouse, HONOR BackPack, HONOR Watch Magic/Sport Pro
HONOR Experience Store: HONOR BlueTooth Mouse, HONOR BackPack, HONOR Scale 2

Find out what’s new about the MagicBook 14 compared to the original.

If you’re wondering about the performance of the Ryzen 5 3500U, check out our review of the MagicBook.

NVIDIA GTX 1660 is officially here; starts at $219

Just about 3 weeks since the the announcement of the GTX 1660 Ti, NVIDIA has now announced a new card in the affordably-powerful range of graphic cards – the GTX 1660.

The variable rate shading is one of the impressive features that NVIDIA has developed for games to dynamically change the rate of shading to improve overall smoothness of gameplay in terms of frame rates. As demonstrated in the video above, the visual quality impact is minimal but the performance improved by a long shot.
The GTX 1660 is now available with a very competitive price of $219 USD, or about ~RM895.34. Now that is a really affordable price.

First Look: UGREEN X-Kit Laptop Docking Station

As a laptop user myself, the first thing I do when I arrive at the office is docking my laptop to the monitor and USB hub. The docking solution I’ve been using all these while was a standalone laptop stand and paired it with a UGREEN 5-in-1 USB-C hub.
The solution works, but it is not the most elegant as the HDMI cable and USB-A cables are dangling with the hub at the side of my laptop. So the other day, UGREEN happened to send in their latest selection of products, and the X-Kit Laptop Docking Station immediately caught my attention.

UGREEN X-Kit Laptop Docking Station

The dock comes in a compact packaging.

What you get in the box:
UGREEN X-Kit Laptop Stand Docking StationUSB-C to USB-C cableTravel pouch

The dock in its folded state is extremely compact. That explains the miniature box that comes shipping this laptop dock.

The built-in USB hub covers all my basic requirements:
USB-A 3.0HDMI ([email protected])SD & micro SD card reader

This is how you setup the dock – connecting the laptop to the dock via the USB-C to USB-C cable. I know this is not the most elegant solution since there’s still a cable dangling from the laptop, but that least now the HDMI cable and other USB cables are well hidden underneath the laptop.

Unfolded the dock reveals the “x” mechanism that connects both left and right support.

There are two metal bars used as laptop height adjustment support rod.

Depending on your preferences, there are four different height adjustments for you to choose from.
First Look & Conclusion
The UGREEN X-Kit docking station is a wonderful 2-in-1 solution for laptop users. It solves two problems at the same time, simplifying the desktop dock setup and ergonomics. While the official price tag is rather steep, at RM219 (US$69), unless you’re willing to sacrifice simplicity for standalone stand and USB-C hub.
Of course, nothing is perfect, for instance, there’s no USB-C port, the HDMI only supports up to 4K30Hz and the port placement are difficult to reach when a laptop is docked on it. Nonetheless, it keeps your desk clean and organized with the cables pre-connected to the dock and you will just need to plug in the USB-C cable.

Next USB to be reversible

We all use USB ports – be it for keyboards, mice, flash drives, tablets or smartphones. We use it for data transfer and now even to charge devices. With its versatility, USB ports are used for many things – one of the main reasons being convertible to many other types of USB ports.
Being the standard communication port for devices and peripherals, the guys over at USB 3.0 promoter group just announced something amazing.

There will be a new USB Type-C port that is smaller and has an entirely new design. The other thing that got everyone’s attention is the interchangeability of  orientation – that means your USB connector can be upside down and it still works, unlike the USB ports these days where you get a 50-50 chance of getting it right without looking.
Of course, such an upgrade has been long awaited by all of us since the birth of USB ports and it is finally coming soon, where the expected time of unveiling is somewhere about mid-2014, probably during Computex.

[UPDATED WITH PROOF] Denuvo Anti-Tamper Got REKT

In case you didn’t know by now, Denuvo is a name that is wildly hated by the world of pirate gamers. Pirates have been playing games that were more or less instantly cracked bypassed since the day it got released, but Denuvo stepped up their game by creating a system that they claim is “unbreakable”.
Many took the challenge, and now Denuvo got REKT, son! REKT real good too!

There are a few prominent games that uses their anti-tamper technology. Some of them are games which I personally like.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Star Wars Battlefront
Just Cause 3
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Far Cry Primal
DOOM
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst

Obviously though, no one liked Denuvo because pirates can’t get what they didn’t pay for. However, even those who paid for the game legitimately was hating on them because of its excessive amount of stress that it puts on storage media. Particularly on SSDs. It’ll shorten the lifespan of SSDs.
Few games are bypassed as of now:

FIFA 16
DOOM
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Inside
ABZÛ
Total War: Warhammer
Just Cause 3

If you’re interested in the latest and most current status on the bypassed. You can check out /r/Crackstatus on Reddit.
UPDATE: Yes, it got bypassed. I downloaded Rise of the Tomb Raider to try it out – and it works. The steps to get it running is a little unorthodoxed though, or at least not polished yet. Voksi’s bypass does work for many games, but not all.

Yes, it does work.
Even with video, if you need it.
UPDATE 2: There’s another hacker called CPY which completely cracked Denuvo. It’s currently released publicly on and only for Rise of The Tomb Raider for now though. Not sure about any other games that’s going to be cracked or not.

Review – Ugreen 10,000mAh USB PD Power Bank (18W)

Wait… Ugreen is has power banks now? Yeah – Ugreen approached us a while ago and asked if we can review their new power bank. We said – alright, sure. Show me what you got. And we’re fairly surprised. This is our review of the Ugreen 10,000mAh USB PD power bank (18W). Seriously though, Ugreen needs to work on its product naming scheme.
As the (lack of) name has stated, this is a USB PD power bank – and that’s quite rare. Yet it is only at RM79.99 on promotion now. Wow.

Unboxing

Looking at the box itself, the packaging is just… really basic. We have an image of the power bank itself at the front with the capacity stated.

At the back is where the specs are listed. From here, we can see that the model number is PB171 – which should have been the official name of this power bank – and it also has the list of output power.

Digging out everything reveals the bare minimums of a power bank – only the power bank and a short, flat USB-A to USB-C cable for charging. And yet again, we’re not going to use this cable.
Design
One of the best things about this Ugreen 10,000mAh USB PD power bank is the size. It’s actually really small. This power bank has a smaller footprint than the Galaxy S10+ (review)!

Though the glossy plastic housing isn’t my favorite It’s slippery, a fingerprint magnet, and also gets scratched easily. But then again, it’s not a big deal since it’s a power bank anyway.

There are also 4 LEDs to indicate the battery level, and I honestly prefer LEDs more than a screen to tell the battery level.

At the top is where we can find all the ports:

USB-A: Input only, 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A
USB-C: Both input and output, 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A

And this is where the differences start to appear when compared to the Tronsmart PB20. The Ugreen 10,000mAh USB PD power bank excludes micro USB entirely.
Charging performance
I’ll say, Ugreen has a pretty impressive power output here. It tops off at 18W, but it supports both USB PD standard and also Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 and 4.0 standards. This means we can fast charge our smartphones quickly.
Once again, we chose the Xiaomi Mi 9 (review) as our smartphone of choice for this test. The result is once again, surprising.

The Ugreen 10,000mAh USB PD power bank can charge the Mi 9 close to the stock 18W charger’s speed. Also, it’s just much faster than a standard 5V 2A charger that most of us use.
Of course, to charge the Nintendo Switch, the Ugreen 10,000mAh USB PD power bank is excellent for this job. As stated on this website here, this power bank can charge the Switch quick as we play.
Wrapping up the Ugreen 10,000 USB PD power bank (18W)
This is a great power bank. It’s small in size, has 10,000mAh capacity, and most importantly – able to output a total of 18W power. I think we can also charge laptops that use USB PD standard despite its relatively low wattage.
Most importantly – the price. This power bank is only priced at RM79.99, and I think it’s quite affordable. Being so small, I can place it in my bag and forget about it. Then plug it into my Nintendo Switch when I need some power.
And hey – it’s really tiny!
Though, you might want to get a pouch to protect the power bank from getting scratched up – if you care about its aesthetics, that is. Ugreen sells the power bank pouch too, by the way. 🤷♂

Where to buy?
Ugreen’s official Lazada store here.

Find out how the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G fits into a daily life of students and young professionals

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G is out in Malaysia recently and while it does seem a little bit too late to expand upon the soon to be “old” lineup, the device still brings forward a lot of value from a position dedicated to fellow fans, hence the Fans Edition annotation.
Let’s find out what can it do to fill in the needs of a modern young professional or even a student with everything shifting towards digital in recent years.

8 AM: Getting ready and fuel up for the day

Whether traveling to workplaces, schools or just getting started with to-do lists the moment of waking up with a blank state, many people’s first reflex after opening up their eyes is to grab their smartphones to catch up with the world and for some of those, a quick morning entertainment is all they need to face everything after the chill moment. With the Galaxy S21 FE 5G powering all gaming, streaming, and watching across multiple platforms and applications, the best partner to do that is with the trusty Galaxy Buds 2.
9 AM: Shifting gears into productivity mood

As a student or budding professional, the 9 o’clock timer is where the challenges and daily tasks start with Zoom lecturers and face-to-face meetings being the most common nowadays. As these online sessions tend to go longer than intended, a power-efficient chip is the key to providing a day-long uptime without having a power cable strangling the device. Therefore, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G’s Exynos 2100 built on the 5nm node is capable of doing just that while strictly controlling thermals to not overheat the entire unit.
12 PM: A moment to refuel and catch up on social media
What’s the best companion to go with your lunch? How about a side of your digital companion? With mealtimes basically becoming the default moment to relax, chill back and have fun with your friends and colleagues, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is able to do all the heavy lifting through the high-grade 32MP front camera dedicated to the selfie enthusiasts while the 6.4-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz of refresh rate is tailored towards the mobile gamers for a super smooth and fast gaming experience.
5 PM: Wrapping up the day or hanging out post-work
With the last task being finished and the clock strikes 5 into the sunset, chances are the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is still up and running without a hitch while you are ready to get back home after a tiring day. However, if the gang is out for some TGIFs and you need a quick battery top-up, the device can juice up more than 50% in just half an hour. Just don’t let your colleagues wait too long though.

Homemade Lightsaber Burns Straight through Things

As a big fan of Star Wars, I believe everyone is familiar with the light saber – at least those from my generation. As a reality, we are just one step closer to own a personal light saber!!!

This powerful 3-watt laser, made from a diode taken out of a DLP(digital light processing) projector bolted to two high-powered lithium-ion laptop batteries. This baby is capable of burning straight through paper, cardboard, wood, and even a ping pong ball.
According to this 20 years old video owner, styropyro:
This laser uses the new 9mm, 450nm laser diode and runs on two 18650 Li Ion batteries. The housing is a custom machined “Sirius” host. I usually try to refrain from using the term “lightsaber” when referring to my lasers but there really isn’t much else out there to describe this laser.
Here are the official video of homemade light saber:

To summarize, this light saber may not be as deadly as a real light saber in Star Wars, but then again I hope this light saber would be use for a right purpose in the future.
