Windows 11 Update Introduces Bing AI To Taskbar, Plus More Features

No need to open up your browser to ask your questions.

Windows 11 has now received a new update with various new features, and headlining them is the much-anticipated Bing AI, now built right into the search bar residing on Windows 11 taskbars. That being said, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to use it right now – Bing AI is still on a long waitlist and Microsoft has clarified that you’ll need to join the waitlist first before you can start using the feature. Those who already signed up to the preview can use the feature right away.

Smartphones will get even greater integration through this latest update. iOS users will have to settle with the Phone Link available in Windows Insider preview channel for now as the app is currently undergoing testing – meanwhile for Android camp, particularly Samsung Galaxy owners, they will be able to activate the phone’s mobile hotspot right from Windows by clicking on the Wi-Fi network list. Another feature, Recent Websites, allows for seamless web browsing across phone and PC with instant session handover.

Another new feature is courtesy of screen recording feature in Snipping Tool. Previously, recoding on Windows 10 is only available through a workaround using Game Bar, but in this update it’s built right into Windows 11. Windows Studio Effects now comes with AI to enable eye contact, background blur, auto framing, voice focus and more; and is accessible under Quick Settings.

Other features include: Tabs on Notepad, Braille display support and enhanced voice access, improved touch layout, new full screen Widgets, energy recommendations, AI-assisted file search, Windows 365 Cloud PC integration and more. You can read on the full blog post from Microsoft here.
Pokdepinion: A lot of features that I do find useful (though I’m saying this as a Windows 10 user).

Man Found 1987 Cult-classic Video Game in His Attic And It’s Worth a Fortune
Picture credits: TIME

If you ever thought that video games are a waste of money, then this will surely change your mind. A man from Nevada has found an unopened copy of Kid Icarus, a 1987 cult-classic NES game, and it’s worth a small fortune now.
The boxed game cartridge was still in a bag with a receipt which lists the price at USD $38.45 from J.C. Penney’s roughly three decades prior. Now, the game is expected to sell for up to USD $10,000 at an online auction. For added perspective, the original price is 0.38% of what the man can expect from the auction.
Scott Amos of Reno told the Reno Gazette Journal that he initially thought it might be worth a couple hundred dollars. He also mentioned that no one in his family has any recollection of ever purchasing the game. As the date of receipt shows “Dec. 8, 1988”, it may have been intended to be a Christmas present.

I can remember the game. My neighbor down the street had it. I remember it being hard, and I was never that good of a gamer guy. All the family has been trying to come up with a hypothesis … (My mom) thinks she put it there and never got it back out, and then it ended up in the attic.

Valarie McLeckie, video game consignment director at Heritage Auctions, says it’s one of the hardest Nintendo titles to find in sealed condition. She says there are fewer than 10 in the hands of vintage game collectors.
To find a sealed copy ‘in the wild,’ so to speak, not to mention one in such a nice condition and one with such transparent provenance, is both an unusual and rather historic occurrence. We feel that the provenance will add a significant premium for serious collectors.
If the auction goes well, Amos and his family could be looking at about USD $10,000. The family is said to be looking to have some fun with it, possibly a vacation at Disney World.
Source: TIME
Pokdepinion: Would be nice to suddenly stumbled upon some hidden gem in the house. Then again, I myself might not be able to identify its value and think of it as nothing more than an object. Lesson here is that if you can keep your games, you should. It might be worth a fortune someday.

GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA Gaming Laptop Review
Unboxing

In the box of the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop, you’re expected to get these few items:

Power adapter and cable
Spare screws
User guide and warranty
The GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop itself

Appearance

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA has a fighter jet-inspired design that will appeal to gamers who don’t want anything too flashy. You can see two slits on on the outer shell which directs its focus to the AORUS logo, giving it a more aerodynamic look with a simple touch. The matte black finish gives it a discrete look which also ensures that it doesn’t become a fingerprint magnet. It has an aluminum chassis which will give it a solid enough build while still giving users a lightweight body.

Lift the hood up and you’ll be greeted with a 15.6-inch Full HD 144Hz IPS display which is said to be from LG. To my surprise for a 15.6-inch laptop nowadays, it has a full-sized keyboard complete with a Numpad. It is an Island-style RGB FUSION keyboard, so you can expect some glorious RGB backlighting here. Below it is the trackpad, which is positioned a little bit closer to the left rather than being completely centered. Interestingly, the trackpad is noticeably wider than it is tall. It’s worth noting that you can’t open the lid all the 180° flat, more so around 135° at most.
The ports

On the left side, you have a Kensington Lock, an RJ45 LAN port, a USB-A port, a combo audio jack, and an SD card reader. On the right side, you have a USB-A port, a USB-C port, an HDMI port, and the proprietary charging port. On the back, you’ll only see two hinges and an long air vent in the middle.

On the bottom part, you’ll see an air vent, 9 screws, and rubberized stands to give it a bit of a lift when places on a flat surface. Keep in mind that there are actually more than 9 screws here, just that some are hidden (most likely 3) and will most likely void the warranty if removed.
Overall, the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop has a pretty nice look despite not having the flashy gamer aesthetic. There’s certainly more appeal when the lid is opened rather than closed, giving it a bit of an aura that things get serious the moment you power it on. It has a solid build quality with no wobbling from what we’ve tested. The inclusion of the Numpad certainly surprised me given the size of the laptop, but it is a welcome addition. It’s worth noting that it is a little bit on the thick side at 23mm, but it is still light and easy to bring around.

Performance
Intel 760p and Seagate Barracude Pro
To kick things off, we have the CrystalDiskMark scores for both its storage drives. It is the Intel 760p NVMe SSD and the 7200RPM Seagate Barracuda Pro HDD. As the former is an NVMe SSD, it’s no surprise that the speeds are much higher than your average SSD. The HDD has decent speeds but its best to use it solely for storing files rather than installing applications on them.

In Cinebench R15, it’s interesting that the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop has lower speeds than the STRIX SCAR III and Triton 900 with the same CPU. This is most likely due to the RAM, as adding another stick will certain see noticeable performance boosts. It’s not a bad score, that we can say for sure.

In Unigine Superposition, the 4K Optimized benchmark didn’t want to run at first due to the GTX 1650 only having 4GBs of memory. It can still run if you force it to but performance isn’t great. The bottleneck here is clearly the GTX 1650. A better GPU will certainly elevate the scores significantly.

In 3DMark’s Time Spy, it did relatively okay for its specifications. Again, the thing that’s pulling down the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop’s potential is the GPU. A GTX 1660 Ti or RTX 2060 would certainly yield a more promising score.As it is a GTX card, we won’t be doing Port Royal as it’s not supported.
Games are all on the highest settings possible
We’ve tested the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop with a myriad of games at the highest settings and it did perform better than I expected. For the smoothest experience possible, you definitely have to dial down the settings by a notch or two. Especially with CS:GO and Apex Legends dialing down the settings for extra frames would be beneficial as the display has a 144Hz refresh rate. It’s worth noting that the CPU ran pretty hot, easily above the 90°C mark across the board with thermal throttling present. The GPU ran pretty cool, ranging about 60 – 70°C for the most part.
As for battery life, it’s pretty much average like any other gaming laptop out there. You’re going to see about 3 hours or so with regular use like office work, web browsing, and watching some videos on YouTube. If you’re lucky, you might even get close to four hours but it’s pretty dependent on how you use it as well as the level of screen brightness being used.
User Experience

The GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA is actually a decent gaming laptop. While it’s not thin by today’s standards, at 23mm, it is surprisingly light at 2.15kg. It’s also powered by the 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. As for memory, it has a Samsung 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 RAM, a speedy 256GB Intel 760p NVMe SSD, and a 1TB Seagate Barracuda Pro HDD. While storage is certainly adequate, it would be nice if it came with an additional 8GB stick so it will have a 16GB dual-channel RAM for better multitasking. For light users, this should still suffice.

On the matter running temperatures, everything is generally good except for the CPU. From our games tests alone, the CPU easily goes above 90°C and there’s thermal throttling in most games. Given its slight thickness, I expected it to have less issues for thermals. Interestingly, you can hear the fan speed spin loudly but it never gets to a point where it gets unbearable.
The 15.6-inch IPS display on the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop is pleasant to look at. Viewing angles are great, colours are bright and well-defined, and the high refresh rate makes fast-paced gaming more enjoyable. Just keep in mind that due to the use of the GTX 1650, you’ll need to dial down the graphics settings to enjoy high frame rates, more so if the game is particularly resource-intensive.  You can open the lid up ’til about 135° which should be versatile enough for most users.

There is a decent array of ports on the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop. You have two USB 3.1 Type-A Gen1, one USB 3.1 Type-C Gen2 which has support for DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4, an SD card reader, an ethernet port, a HDMI 2.0 port, and a combo audio jack. What I would’ve definitely liked is if it could include an additional USB-A port, which will be useful for people who use this as their primary PC. If you connect a keyboard and mouse to it, you won’t have anymore USB-A ports to use, which can be troublesome if you need to use an external storage device.

However, there is a particular interesting thing about one of the USB-A ports on this machine. It is capable of charging electronic devices even when the laptop has been powered off. Essentially, the laptop can double as a powerbank, which can be useful if you’re in dire need of an energy source for your mobile devices but you don’t have a powerbank / there’s no power outlets around.
It’s a 3-zone RGB Keyboard
The GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop utilizes an Island-style RGB FUSION keyboard. It’s a chiclet keyboard with customizable 3-zone RGB backlighting, and it even has a Numpad. While having a Numpad is great, it does make the keyboard feel a little bit cramped but it’s not uncomfortable and just needs a bit of time to get used to. As for the RGB lighting, you can easily customize it using the AORUS Control Center software. There’s really nothing much to shout out on the trackpad, it’s there and it functions just like any other one out there. Best to use a mouse with this.
AORUS Control Center
Speaking of the AORUS Control Center earlier, this is where you need to be at to adjust settings and do some fine-tuning for the machine. You can easily check certain details like running temperature, adjust fan speed, and even disable the Windows key from here to avoid accidentally minimizing game screens during crucial moments. The UI is easy to navigate through and you should have everything you need right here.
KILLER Control Center
But that’s not all on the software side as there’s also the KILLER Control Center. Not only will you be able to view and manage your network traffic, you can also optimize the system for gaming with the GameFast feature. What this does is that it prioritizes the game that you’re running above other network traffic, it also optimizes your CPU and memory resources for the game to ensure a smoother gaming experience. It’s certainly a useful feature to have and it’s available for use on this GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop.
NAHIMIC Audio Software
On the sound department, the speakers on the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop is decent at best. It’s not particularly loud and there’s only so much detail it can produce. It’s best to use your favourite pair of earphones / headphones / headset instead, especially with the NAHIMIC audio software onboard. You can easily optimize your listening experience for all occasions, and enable certain features like surround sound and volume stabilizer. Furthermore, you can even adjust the sound quality from your microphone for better clarity.
The NAHIMIC audio software works for both the speakers and audio devices connected via the 3.5mm combo audio jack.
GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA Gaming Laptop Verdict

Overall, the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop is a pretty decent gaming laptop. The build quality is good, it’s lighter than it looks, display looks great, and it’s packing some good firepower inside, especially with its NVMe SSD and HDD storage combo. The bonuses such as the NAHIMIC audio, KILLER Wi-Fi / LAN, and one of the USB-A ports functioning like a powerbank gives it a rather unique appeal to the masses.
For RM4,999 however, I was expecting a bit more out of the machine. Having at least a GTX 1660 Ti or RTX 2060 would do wonders for its performance, and only 8GBs of RAM is a bit of a letdown. Moreover, the high CPU running temperature is a bit of a worry. Regardless, it’s not a bad gaming laptop and I can certainly see this appealing to many gamers out there. With that, I award the GIGABYTE AORUS 5 NA gaming laptop with our Silver Pokdeward.

[E3 2018] Square Enix Introduces Babylon’s Fall – New IP From PlatinumGames

Over at the Square Enix E3 2018 presentation, they have revealed a brand new IP being developed by PlatinumGames (Not Platinum Eden) called Babylon’s Fall.
E3 2018: Square Enix Introduces Babylon’s Fall

During the Square Enix presentation of E3 2018, Square Enix introduced a brand new IP that’s being developed by PlatinumGames (not to be confused with Platinum Eden, who only develops trouble cough). It’s called Babylon’s Fall and it looks quite interesting to say the least.
Babylon’s Fall didn’t have much to reveal, but we know that PlatinumGames is the team behind it. In the new trailer, we see a soldier kneeling down in some wicked looking armor. Another knight is above him and swinging downward with a large sword toward the other knight.

Right when the sword is about to contact, a set of pink and thin tentacles launch out of the first knight and rips the other one’s arm off with his sword still attached. The attacking knight then receives a nasty cut right when the Babylon’s Fall title comes up onto the screen.
In case you missed it, you can check out the announcement trailer for Babylon’s Fall at the top of this post, courtesy of YouTuber Gamer’s Little Playground. It even reveals the release window for the game. Babylon’s Fall will be available sometime in 2019 for the PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam.
For more developments and news at E3 2018, be sure to stay tuned to Pokde.net :)
Pokdepinion: Well, the Square Enix presentation at E3 2018 was rather short and somewhat disappointed a lot of people who had a lot of expectations on them, especially with regards to Final Fantasy VII Remake. Even with that, Babylon’s Fall looks like a cool new game to look forward to. I’m wondering if they have some things up their sleeves for later presentations, like let’s say the PlayStation’s press conference.

Pokde Picks: 5 Awesome Games to Look Out For in March 2018
The prosperous month of February has come and gone in a flash and it seems like 2018 is moving forward rather quickly. One particular upside to this is that gamers can look forward to getting their hands on a bunch of new games. Without further ado, let’s take a look at our Pokde Picks, 5 awesome games to look out for this March 2018.
If you missed out on last month’s Pokde Picks, click right here to get up to speed.

 Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

The sequel to the fairy tale-based role-playing game, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom takes place hundreds of years after the events of Wrath of the White Witch, which features the cat and mouse tribes, two warring factions in the town of Ding Dong Dell. During the events of the game, the mouse tribe performed a coup d’état, taking control of the kingdom.
Players follow the story of Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum, a young king of the cat tribe, who is usurped from his castle and sets out to reclaim his kingdom. He is aided by Roland, a visitor from another world, and Tani, the daughter of the boss of air pirates. However doing so with only a few people is a mission destined for failure and thus, he seeks a means of doing just that in his adventure.
Fun fact, while the game has retained the familiar visuals, Level-5 did not collaborate with Studio Ghibli for this game. However, former Studio Ghibli character designer Yoshiyuki Momose and music composer Joe Hisaishi, both of whom worked on the previous installment, have reprised their roles in this sequel. This is mostly likely why it retains the Studio Ghibli feel.
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Windows PC on March 23rd 2018.
 Kirby Star Allies

When it comes to Nintendo consoles, you just can’t have one without a proper Kirby game, and that’s what we’re going to have. Kirby Star Allies is a platformer featuring one of Nintendo’s most beloved mascots of all time, Kirby.
While not much is still known about the game, Kirby Star Allies can be played with up to 4 players, with Kirby capable of throwing hearts at enemies to convert them into his allies. With companion characters on screen, Kirby will have access to new special attacks which involves it combining his abilities with said allies. There is also the new ‘Friend Abilities’ feature, which are stage-specific abilities and allow you interact with the environment in a unique way.
Fun fact, Kirby Star Allies was first teased back in E3 2017 which took place in Los Angeles, California. The game only had the name “Kirby” on it until it was announced during the Nintendo Direct presentation later in the year as Kirby of the Stars: Star Allies in Japan and Kirby Star Allies in English regions.
Kirby Star Allies will be coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch on March 16th 2018.
 Super Robot Wars X

The latest mainline entry to Bandai Namco’s crossover mecha strategy game, Super Robot Wars X features a number of mecha anime including those which we have not seen in the Super Robot Wars series in a long time, including Aura Battler Dunbine and Gundam F91.
Unlike most Super Robot Wars games which take place in fictional Earth, Super Robot Wars X takes place in Fantasy World Al-Warth. According to game producer Takanobu Terada, the reason for this is the inclusion of Mashin Hero Wataru, Buddy Complex, and a number of other anime series in which the plot revolves around an alternate reality Earth. “If we were to include the series, this would be the best method…” said Terada.
Fun fact, while plenty of infamous mecha anime series like Mazinger and Gundam will be making a return in Super Robot Wars X, this is the first console entry to not include the Shin Getter franchise as well as Mazinger Z. On the plus side, the game will continue on the recent tradition of having both English and Japanese versions.
Super Robot Wars X will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita on March 29th 2018.
 Sea of Thieves

Created by the same studio behind Banjo Tooie, Sea of Thieves is a first-person action-adventure game with co-operative multiplayer elements. Players take control of pirates in an open world environment, where there will be plenty of quests, looting, and engaging in combat in both land and on pirate ships.
Players will get to experience every aspect of being a pirate, including navigating the world via pirate ships with each player taking care of every aspect of controlling it, such as navigation, firing cannons, and more. As Sea of Thieves is a shared game world, players will regularly encounter other real players throughout their adventures.
Fun fact, as Sea of Thieves is being developed by Microsoft’s first party developer Rare, it is one of the few game that support the Xbox Play Anywhere initiative. In other words, Sea of Thieves not only support cross-platform play with Xbox One and PC, you can also switch from playing the game on the Xbox One on PC anytime you want by purchasing just a single copy of the game.
Sea of Thieves will be coming to the Xbox One and PC on March 20th 2018.
 Valkyria Chronicles 4

The latest entry in the Valkyria series, Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a tactical role-playing game taking place around the same time as the first Valkyria Chronicles game on the fictional continent of Europa. During the Second Europan War involving the Atlantic Federation and the Eastern Imperial Alliance, the Federation plans to end the war and capture the Imperial capital.
In a last ditch effort to achieve this goal, the Federation commences Operation Northern Cross, which sees  Commander Claude Wallace and his friends in Squad E sent to fight Imperial soldiers and the Valkyria. This game sees another side of the major war that occurred from the original game.
Fun fact, Valkyria Chronicles 4 was designed to appeal more to a worldwide audience unlike the 2nd and 3rd game which was more for the Japanese audience. As such, the game has a more grounded military setting as oppose to the other games which features fantasy-based characters and a school setting instead.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 will be coming to the PlayStation 4 on March 21st 2018, with a Nintendo Switch release coming later in the year.
And that is all for the Pokde Picks, 5 awesome games to look out for this March 2018.. There’s definitely an interesting variety of games here across all platforms for gamers to enjoy so even if you don’t own every gaming platform there is, there’s certainly something here for everyone to enjoy.

Sony Introduces A Trio Of BRAVIA XR Lineup With New Processor

Sony is set to launch three BRAVIA XR TV models in Malaysia soon – with three models each sporting different backlighting features. The new models, which feature the latest Cognitive Processor XR chip enables better backlight control to increase brightness while minimizing blooming commonly seen in FALD (full-array local dimming) displays. Another new feature is the XR Clear Image which reduces noise and motion blur.
Three models are included in the upcoming launch here. The BRAVIA X95L (85-inch) is powered by 4K 100Hz Mini-LED panel which is set to be priced at RM26,999; whereas the BRAVIA X90L series, which comes in four sizing options – 85″, 75″, 65″ and 55″, features a more conventional 4K 100Hz FALD panel with less detailed local dimming capabilities (Sony didn’t specify the amount of dimming zones available). Finally, there’s the BRAVIA A80L series with 55-inch, 65-inch and 77-inch options available that uses 4K 100Hz OLED panel. All models support gaming-centric features such as VRR (variable refresh rate), ALLM (auto low-latency mode) and more.

Sony Malaysia says these models will be on sale starting in June – and pricing will be announced at a later date. Sony has only publicized the pricing for the X95L model on their website, with the other two models so far do not contain any pricing information on their respective product page at this writing.
Pokdepinion: Wonder why the panels didn’t quite go 4K 120Hz though, given there are panels out there that can already do 4K 240Hz at this point.

Xiaomi adds Vlog mode to the Mi 9’s camera!

One of the reasons why I really loved the POCOPHONE F1 was how Xiaomi kept updating the device with new features. It seems that the Mi 9 will also enjoy such a treatment, with the latest Vlog mode which debuted on the Mi Note 10 also available on the Mi 9!
The update in question is MIUI 11.0.4 Global Stable update, which brings with it the December 1st 2019 security patch.

You get the same presets as you would on the Mi Note 10, but one of the things I noted when doing a quick test was just how fast the Mi 9 saves the vlog. While the Mi Note 10 takes around 10~15 seconds to save the video file, the Mi 9 does it almost instantly. That just proves my theory that the Mi Note 10 is held back by its Snapdragon 730G.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

While Xiaomi added Vlog mode to the Mi 9, it seems like ShootSteady will still be exclusive to the Mi Note 10, despite the two devices sharing what appears to be the same 20MP ultra-wide camera module.
Now there’s even less reason for me to upgrade.
The update’s changelog doesn’t mention anything else aside from updating the security patch to December 2019’s, so the addition of the Vlog mode was a nice surprise.
Pokdepinion: While I have used many smartphones in the past year, few have actually tempted me to change from the Mi 9. Hopefully the Mi 10 does it for me.

DJI Launches Mini Camera Drone, The DJI Spark – Just smile and wave

Use the Force with the DJI Spark’s Gesture Mode

DJI recently launched the newest addition in their line of ever popular and state of the art drones, the DJI Spark. This tiny little thing is the Chinese drone-maker’s latest mini camera drone that hopes to be a game changer in the ever expanding market of consumer drones with its new Gesture Mode feature.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

Weighing at only 10.6 ounces or 300 grams (it’s probably lighter than my shoes!), the DJI Spark has been designed to be the perfect lifestyle accessory you can take anywhere. It’s easy to use and fits in almost any bag or case and it’s perfect for those who love to travel around and take videos etc.

DJI’s Gesture Mode technology has a few new advanced gesture control features which you can use with the DJI Spark such as PalmControl, which lets users control Spark with hand movements. In Gesture Mode, you can also send the DJI Spark up and away from you, take a selfie, and call it back with just your hands. DJI claims that the Spark is the only camera drone in the world that you can control by using hand gestures alone, therefore eliminating the constant need for a separate remote control if you choose to do so.
The DJI Spark comes with a few automated flight modes by using a feature called the QuickShot Intelligent Flight Mode to effortlessly capture and share your memorable moments.
There are four QuickShot modes, namely:

Rocket: sends the Spark straight up into the air with the camera pointed down
Dronie: flies up and away from your subject
Circle: makes the DJI Spark circle around the subject
Helix: spirals the Spark away from a subject as it flies upward

Older Intelligent Flight Modes such as the TapFly and ActiveTrack will also be available on the DJI Spark, however the TapFly mode has comes with a brand new sub-mode called Coordinate. This mode allows the Spark to fly to a location you tap on your mobile device screen.
In terms of hardware the DJI Spark houses a camera with a 1/2.3” CMOS sensor that can capture photos of up to 12 megapixels and stabilized HD 1080p videos under normal flight mode. Furthermore, the Spark’s 2-axis mechanical gimbal and UltraSmooth technology dramatically reduce shake and rolling shutter effect. The Spark is powered by a high-energy density LiPo battery and has a maximum flight time of up to 16 minutes. When flying with the remote controller, Spark allows for 720p real-time video transmission from up to 500m away.

For the social media junkies, the DJI GO 4 app enables creators to quickly edit videos and share them directly to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms.
There are two bundles available in Malaysia for the DJI Spark. The first retails at RM 2,280 and includes an aircraft, a battery, a USB charger and three pairs of propellers. the other one, the Spark Fly More Combo includes an aircraft, two batteries, four pairs of propellers, a remote controller, propeller guards, a charging hub, a shoulder bag and all necessary cables, retails at RM 3,188. The DJI Spark comes in five different colours, Alpine White, Sky Blue, Meadow Green, Lava Red, and Sunrise Yellow.

It is expected to release sometime in August this year.
Pokdepinion: I think the Spark will be a very popular choice among today’s Gen Y and millennial crowd, especially those travel junkies who love to shoot pictures and videos on the go.

[Computex 2019] Patriot PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSDs coming later this year — shuns RGB in favor of performance

The industry is readying for PCIe 4.0, with everything from storage to next-gen graphics card set to run on the new standard that can handle 2x the bandwidth. We had the chance to check out Patriot’s yet-to-be-named PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD as well, featuring none other than the Phison E16 controller.

Patriot’s PCIe Gen4 SSD is currently naked without a heatsink, but knowing how hot the new Phison E16 controller runs, the final production model should sport one. The 3D NAND here is definitely by Toshiba, although Patriot didn’t explicitly mention it. It also promises a ludicrous sequential read speeds of up to 4800 MB/s, much faster than GIGABYTE’s PCIe Gen4 SSD.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

Patriot shared that this will be coming to the market later this year or early 2020, so stay tuned for more updates if you want a speedy SSD. For the here and now, Patriot has a few PCIe Gen3 SSDs under their Viper Gaming sub-brand.

For starters, they will be introducing their Viper VPR100 RGB PCIe M.2 SSD, with full control of the LEDs with Viper RGB Software. This SSD is based on the Phison E12 controller, which means a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface. If you want even more performance though, Viper Gaming will point you in the direction of the older Viper VPN100 PCIe M.2 SSD.

The Viper VPN100 PCIe M.2 SSD is unique because it features a solid aluminium heatsink to dissipate heat, sans RGB. Despite featuring the same controller as the Viper VPR100 RGB, the Viper VPN100 offers speeds of up to 3450MB/s sequential read and 700 IOPs random. To further emphasize its focus on power users, Patriot equipped it with an external thermal sensor to prevent damage from overheating.

The same no-RGB-only-performance is also carried over to their memory products, with the Viper Steel RAM running at up to 4400 MHz with XMP. Patriot only maintains the Viper RGB series of RAM with bling lighting, which is also capable of running at a very respectable 4133 MHz. The most interesting solution that Patriot has to offer is probably their Signature Premium DDR4 RAM which is their value lineup, but is still equipped with an aluminium heatsink.

Last but not least, they also showcased a whole series of peripherals, from keyboards to headphones, targeting gamers with RGB lighting and plenty of programmable keys.
Pokdepinion: Even as a RGBae lover, the non-RGB SSD and RAM does look good.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB early benchmarks might bear good news for gamers

Graphics cards availability and subsequently pricing are currently really, really bad. On top of limited production, miners are also snapping up a lot of graphics cards, which resulted in gamers not being able to get anything at a reasonable price. NVIDIA’s attempted to turn miners away with the LHR refresh, and they have also apparently brought back the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB to improve the supply situation. The latter might be really good news for gamers.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB may be more interesting to miners than GeForce RTX 3060

According to early benchmarks from Hong Kong site PCMarket, the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB can mine at 31.65MH/s at just 83.44W versus the GeForce RTX 3060’s 22.17MH/s at 116.05W. Obviously, such impressive mining performance would essentially mean that gamers won’t be getting a shot at getting the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB, but it might free up some GeForce RTX 3060 for gamers, instead of being sent to the mines. Of course, that’s hopeful thinking.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

With that said, gamers might not be even interested in the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB. NVIDIA has remained pretty quiet regarding the refreshed GeForce RTX 2060, and there doesn’t seem to an MSRP. Prices seem to start from €569 (~RM2715) and ranges all the way up to €700 (~RM3340), which is frankly quite ridiculous. But then again, there aren’t that many options out there. Performance is lower than the GeForce RTX 3060, which is understandable… So yeah, not really good value.
The GeForce RTX 2060 12GB shares quite a bit of its specs with the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, with 2176 CUDA core, 64 RT cores and 136 Tensor cores. However it has a narrower 192-bit memory bus, which is carried over from the regular GeForce RTX 2060.

Pokdepinion: Well, anything that can improve availability, directly or indirectly, is always welcome…

HUAWEI Unveils New HUAWEI Sound Wireless Speaker

During the recent HUAWEI Mate 40 series launch, HUAWEI unveiled their new addition to the HUAWEI Sound Series, the HUAWEI Sound wireless speaker. The speaker sees HUAWEI collaborate with acoustics giant Devialet once again, having partnered in 2019 to launch the HUAWEI Sound X, which we reviewed before.

The Sound speaker features a similar design to the previous HUAWEI Sound X with a specialised coating that crafts a sleek, shiny surface that is akin to a grand piano. The lower portion of the body is coated with a glossy fibre grid cloth, for free and easy sound transmission, as well as protection against dust infiltration and splashes.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The HUAWEI Sound is markedly smaller than the Sound X and features a four-speaker acoustic design, with a 4-inch 40W woofer and three full-range 5W loudspeakers working in conjunction. The speaker utilises Devialet’s Push-Push configuration, in which two passive radiators reinforce each other to counteract backwave vibrations. This reduces distortion that comes from from the diaphragms’ reverberations and ensures stable high volume settings at up to 90 dB.
The speaker also features strong bass by incorporating advanced Devialet’s SAM technology, and a first-ever 1 woofer + 2 passive units structure. This highly intricate acoustics model exercises meticulous modelling and displacement controls over the woofer and passive radiators, to ensure maximally-large simultaneous vibrations on top of distortion-free low frequencies and a wide dynamic range.
Apart from that, the HUAWEI Sound packs three evenly spaced (i.e. at 120° angles) full-range tweeters, complemented by Devialet SPACE Technology, capable of filling a room with lyrical, 360° surround sound. This is achieved by separating the input signal into direct sound, reflected sound and ambient noise, via a dedicated algorithm. The three different directionally-oriented speakers then receive signal based on the location of the listener and together create surround sound effects from a single device.
On top of that, HUAWEI Sound offers four different sound effects: Devialet SPACE Soundstage, Vocals, Hi-Fi, and Bass to suit the listener’s taste and are accessible via the HUAWEI AI Life app. HUAWEI Sound comes equipped with a diverse array of connectivity capabilities, including Bluetooth (LDAC), UPnP, and 3.5mm AUX-in connections.
No word on the release of the speaker yet but rest assured we will provide an update as soon as we do. For more information on the HUAWEI Sound, do head over to the official website right here.
Pokdepinion: Love the design of the speaker. It looks sleek and very modern, perfect for any household.

Samsung’s patents copied by Chinese RAM makers too? Allegations come as Micron sues Chinese DRAM makers

Just as China is investigating Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron for alleged price-fixing to jack up RAM prices, Micron is actually suing Chinese DRAM maker Fujian Jin Hua IC and Taiwanese chipmaker UMC for copying their patents. It seems that Micron may not be the only company to have their patents copied by these Chinese DRAM makers.
DRAM manufacturing is costly. Not only do manufacturers have to be capable of meeting market demands with their manufacturing capacity, but they must also fulfill the stringent standards set by JEDEC. All that requires extensive research and development, resulting in multiple patents. And with the Chinese manufacturer’s inexperience, they are reportedly taking the easy way out by infringing on the established DRAM and flash memory manufacturers’ intellectual properties.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

China is pushing for massive growth in semiconductors manufacturing, with targets of up to 70% growth by 2025. Stealing patents is the easiest and cheapest to achieve these targets. Samsung and SK Hynix are reportedly affected by these thefts, although they aren’t looking at any serious effect on their bottom-line any time soon.
While it is definitely unscrupulous of the Chinese manufacturers, Micron, which actually took the matter to Chinese courts, is apparently on the losing end. On the bright side, we may be looking at more affordable RAM coming from China soon?

Cooler Master MasterBox E500L, where less is more

Cooler Master has just release the brand new MasterBox E500L PC case, an affordable case with a sleek design that doesn’t sacrifice on performance nor functionality. The MasterBox E500L is designed to satisfy users who want a minimalistic outlook, yet are unprepared to sacrifice cooling performance nor interior space.

The MasterBox E500L features a panel located at the front of the case with a brushed metal design that is able to slide up and down. This panel allows you to hide your Input and Output ports for a clean and elegant look, or slide it down to use the front Input and Output ports. This is a great move by Cooler Master in my opinion as it allows for the Input and Output ports to be where they should be at the top without really sacrificing that minimalist look Cooler Master is going for with the MasterBox E500L case.

Coloured trimmings around the front panel balances off the minimalism with a touch of flair. The E500L comes with three different colour trimmings which you can choose to compliment your overall rig theme, a red trimmed version, a silver trimmed version as well as a blue trimmed version.

The MasterBox E500L comes with a single pre-installed 120mm fan in the rear. For additional cooling, the case supports up to two 120mm or 140mm fans and up to a 280mm radiator at the front of the case and a 120mm fan or radiator at the rear. The E500L can also supports high-end graphic cards of up to 399mm in length, CPU-Coolers up to a height of 157mm and Power Supplies up to a length of 220mm. The full-black coating and PSU covers on the case allows your hardware to stand out, and the edge-to-edge transparent side panel is just the icing on the cake.

The MasterBox E500L is available now for purchase with a retail price of just RM 179. For more information regarding the MasterBox E500L, do head over to the official Cooler Master website right here.

Joe Biden Says Game Developers Create Games that “Teach You How to Kill”

If you ever needed a reason to be angry today, you might just have one today. Former US Vice President Joe Biden has a rather controversial opinion on game developers and tech industries.
In an interview with New York Times, Joe Biden described game developers whom he met during his tenure at the White House are “creeps”, “righteous, and “arrogant”. Furthermore, he described their work as artists who can come up with games that teaches people how to kill. These game developers are said to be high-ranking executives from Silicon Valley.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

And you may recall, the criticism I got for meeting with the leaders in Silicon Valley, when I was trying to work out an agreement dealing with them protecting intellectual property for artists in the United States of America. And at one point, one of the little creeps sitting around that table, who was a multi-, close to a billionaire, who told me he was an artist because he was able to come up with games to teach you how to kill people…
Previously, Joe Biden has called for legal restrictions to be imposed on games with violent content. In 2013, it was suggested that there is no legal objective in imposing a tax on violent media. Furthermore, it was stated that while there is no definitive proof linking violent content in games and media with real acts of violence, the public shouldn’t be afraid of “facts” which may come from research on the topic.
Joe Biden added on by saying:
And then one of these righteous people said to me that, you know, “We are the economic engine of America. We are the ones.” And fortunately I had done a little homework before I went and I said, you know, I find it fascinating. As I added up the seven outfits, everyone’s there but Microsoft. I said, you have fewer people on your payroll than all the losses that General Motors just faced in the last quarter, of employees.
So don’t lecture me about how you’ve created all this employment. The point is, there’s an arrogance about it, an overwhelming arrogance that we are, we are the ones. We can do what we want to do. I disagree.
The aforementioned exemption refers to the § 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Basically, the aim of this policy is to help platform owners avoid being blamed for the content generated by its users. Joe Biden isn’t calling for a simple reform however as he wants to completely abolish it. He believes that it’s being abused and it’s the responsibility of the government to ensure that it doesn’t happen.

Pokdepinion: Sure sounds like someone decided to generalize the entire videogame industry just by the small experience he got. I would like to see what evidences he can come up with when arguing about this point.

If you are interested in the MasterLiquid ML240 RGB TR4 Edition, it is now available in Malaysia at a price tag of RM399. At the time of writing, Cooler Master is giving a 3% discount on their official Lazada online store. You can check that out by clicking here.
Pokdepinion: Who doesn’t love performance with a little bit of RGB love? :P

Have you found yourself with an itch to play Pac-Man all of a sudden? The upcoming Pac-Man Geo might just be able to satisfy that as it will turn your local streets into playable levels for you to enjoy.
Pac-Man Geo In Development

The idea behind Pac-Man Geo is that you will essentially be playing the game in real life. How it works is that the game will create a level based on the map of your location, including power pellets and ghosts, for a more unique experience.

If you’re wondering how Bandai Namco will be getting the geographical data, it will be based on data obtained from Google Maps. It’s said that the game has been in a prototype stage since 2018, with further planning and development starting later in 2019.
Pac-Man Geo will be launching sometime in September 2020. The game will be available in over 170 countries, including Malaysia. It will be available on Android and iOS, with pre-registrations now open for the public.

Final Fantasy Awakening Review

When you think of mobile games, there are tons of them out there to the point where it’s tough to choose which one to download for fear of disappointment. The Final Fantasy title is one of the most easily recognizable names that will make any game stand out, but having the ability to attract people is one thing.
Having people actually enjoying the game is another. Today, we have an MMO action role-playing game for mobile platforms that has been making waves on the internet. It was created by Efun Games Co.,Ltd., and the game is simply known as Final Fantasy Awakening.
Synopsis

Final Fantasy Awakening is based on Final Fantasy Type-0, a part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series. As such, the game takes place in the world of Orience, which is divided into 4 nations blessed with Crystals that bestow them with special powers. The world was at peace for some time as the 4 nations were under a peace treaty…that is until the Militesi Empire broke the treaty and staged an invasion using their advanced military prowess.
From the very beginning of Final Fantasy Awakening, players are thrusted into battle as an unknown “student” from Akademeia, the nation of Rubrum’s magic academy, as the place is being torn apart by the Militesi Empire. Little do they know, this unknown “student” holds the key to changing the fate of Orience, as part of an ancient prophecy.
Solid In-game Combat Experience

After going through the cutscenes, players will be taken to the character creation menu. There’s enough depth here for players to customize their characters to their liking. The important part is when the game asks you to choose from 3 playable classes; Windblade Warrior, Fire Gunner, and Ice Magitek Knight. Personally, I chose Fire Gunner as I prefer a stylish ranged fighting style.

Immediately after, players will be thrusted into a mission, albeit a tutorial-style mission so everyone can get a proper grasp of the game’s mechanics. There will be several tutorial missions lined up for new players so if you’re afraid that you might not be able to understand a lot of things in the game, it will teach you and you will be applying it in the game so the learning curve isn’t steep, especially for avid RPG gamers.

As this is an action RPG, there is no turn-based combat. You will be allowed to freely move around using your left thumb on the screen via a virtual joystick, attack whenever you can, and use skills whenever it’s not on cooldown with your right thumb on the bottom-right of the screen. The closest game I can relate it to in terms of combat would be the Diablo series. It can get surprisingly addictive as there are a lot of things happening in each mission, and the fast-paced nature of the game makes it even more exhilarating.
Generally speaking, each mission is usually brief. I doubt you’ll find yourself spending more than 5 minutes on each mission most of the time. This makes it a great option if you’re just looking to take a breather from your daily grind, fill up the time while you’re on public transport, or simply can’t afford to spend too much time playing games.
There’s Plenty of Things for People to Enjoy

Initially, the game is pretty easy to play as I managed to take down enemies and bosses without breaking a sweat. The more you play it, the harder the game gets but the difficulty doesn’t spike up unevenly. If anything, it slowly ramps us so players can easily get more accustomed to taking on tougher enemies.

Along the way, players can add more characters to their party. While you can only add 1 character at first, the additional character slots will be unlocked later on. Players can continuously recruit more characters, including those from the original Final Fantasy Type-0, through fulfilling certain conditions such as logging in a certain number of days.

Just like any other RPG or MMORPG even for that matter, your character will be leveling up and getting stronger after each battle. Your party members however will need to level up manually, which is pretty easy to do. You can also “star up” your party members, such as ranking them up from a 1-star to a 2-star character, to further strengthen them. The game is also well-balanced in the sense that every party member can never exceed the level of your main character.

There’s a wide variety of things you can do in Final Fantasy Awakening. From going through regular missions, fighting in the arena, or doing PvP battles with other players, it feels like a full-fledged RPG game right in your smartphones. The only thing to keep in mind here is that the amount of things you can do in the game is limited by the amount of energy you have. Even so, the energy doesn’t take forever to recharge so you will find yourself glued to the game for quite some time.

Surprisingly, the game looks pretty good on smartphone. I am personally playing Final Fantasy Awakening on my ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom, and the graphics reminds me of the original Final Fantasy Type-0 on the PlayStation Portable, albeit in higher resolution and smoother gameplay. If you’re using today’s high end smartphones, you will most likely see even more breathtaking visuals than what I am experience myself.
Final Fantasy Awakening Verdict

Final Fantasy Awakening is a great game for the mobile platform. It’s suitable for both casual and hardcore gamers, and the fact that it’s a mobile game means that you can play it whenever you want and wherever you are. Above all else, Final Fantasy Awakening is a free game so virtually everyone can enjoy it. Sure, there are a number of in-game items that you can choose to purchase with real money, but it is not mandatory to get the full experience. It’s not Super Mario Run, that’s for sure.
I honestly have nothing to complain about the game apart from the energy recharge mechanic but that’s a good thing. If I could play the game endlessly with infinite energy, I would be glued to the my smartphone for 24 hours straight, every single day. While having knowledge on Final Fantasy Type-0 will help you in immersing yourself, it is not needed. What’s definitely needed is a very primitive understanding of the role-playing game concept. With that being said, I award Final Fantasy Awakening with our coveted Gold Pokdeward!

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti by January 2017?

If you thought the NVIDIA Titan X Pascal was too pricey for your liking, you may want to keep reading. A GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is apparently in the works, and will be launched at CES 2017 in January next year. Like the GTX 980 Ti before it, it will feature a cut down version of the biggest and baddest GP102 silicon found in the Titan X Pascal card.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is expected to feature 8 SMs less than the full GP102 silicon with 60 SMs in the Titan X Pascal card. NVIDIA is reportedly going to drastically push clock speeds up to allow for similar performance with the Titan X Pascal, despite the lower CUDA core count. The GTX 1080 Ti is rumored to see clocks of around 1.5 GHz to 1.6 GHz to achieve 10.8 TFLOPs of compute, nearly matching the Titan X Pascal’s 11 TFLOPs.

The rest of the specifications are touted to be pretty similar to the NVIDIA Titan X Pascal, with 12GB of GDDR5X VRAM fed over a 384-bit wide interface and a 250W TDP. Pricing wise it should be cheaper than the Titan X, obviously, with an expected price of around $700 compared to the $1200 NVIDIA is asking for the Titan X.
Last year’s GTX 980 Ti was a stopgap measure meant to counter the AMD Fury X card which outperformed the GTX 980 quite nicely. As we have yet to see AMD’s flagships, the AMD Vega cards, is NVIDIA already preparing to stop AMD even before the red team gets off the starting block?
SOURCE: WCCFTech

Pokdepinion: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti may be the card NVIDIA Pascal card everyone is waiting for, with the performance of the Titan X Pascal with a much more palatable price tag. Not to mention NVIDIA allowed AIBs to tweak their 980 Ti offerings, and we will most probably see the same here, squeezing even more pixel pushing power from the GTX 1080 Ti.

unifi 500Mbps plan sees upload speeds halved to just 100Mbps

After announcing some rather affordable unifi Home Fiber plans starting from just RM249 for the 500Mbps down and 200Mbps up package, TM quietly halved the upload speeds to just 100Mbps. This change might have gone unnoticed until a unifi user in Parit Buntar noticed the significantly slower upload speeds.
According to his comment on SoyaCincau, he complained about the speed before being told that the earlier marketing material had shown 200Mbps by mistake instead of 100Mbps. As such, the only way you will be able to enjoy the 200Mbps upload speeds for now is to subscribe to the 800Mbps plan instead.
Details of the plans in the old document.
While TM has updated the website quietly to reflect these changes to the unifi 500Mbps plan, Lowyat.net also discovered that TM didn’t update the original FAQ document for the unifi Your World promo, although they are replaced by the newer document when we checked. The older document can still be reached here, although we think it will be taken down quite soon.

It’s quite interesting that TM decided to reveal the unifi 500Mbps plan with higher speeds, with wide media coverage, and decided that it was absolutely fine to change important details like this without first notifying the media, who are now sharing erroneous information with the public through no fault of their own…
Pokdepinion: Oh well, hopefully in the future consumers can vote with their wallets instead of being forced to use a single telco.

Asus ZenPad 7.0 (Z370) Review

Previously, we reviewed the Asus ZenPad C 7.0 (Z170CG) tablet which is one of the most affordable Zenpads around. Today, we have the Asus ZenPad 7.0 that is coded as either Z370C (WiFi only) or Z370CG (Wifi + 3G). Ours in our lab is the latter. So why would you want to get the Asus ZenPad 7.0 as opposed to it’s “C” counterpart? Let’s find it out!
Appearance
At first glance, the Asus ZenPad 7.0 looks exactly like it’s little sibling. Upon inspecting it closer, they are totally different. The looks, the finishing, the feel. It’s just..different. But I do expect them to be different. You are going to be spending a couple of bucks extra if you are getting this one and it has to be superior.
The horizontal packaging is now the official design for Asus devices. And I love it!
To begin, the finishing is a lot more nicer using Asus’ proprietry NCVM (Non Conductive Vapor Metallization) materials. It looks like metal, feels like metal, but it’s not metal. and above all, it doesn’t carry network interfering properties like metal. It also has the same grip feeling around the back clutch design like area. Unlike it’s C sibling, the Asus ZenPad 7.0 has an interchangeable cover that you can change to match your OOTD – or better still, mod it and give it a theme that we have never seen before.

Doesn’t it look like a clutch? I guess ladies would love this.
Removing the cover will unveil three rather interesting parts of the device. First, they have a slot for SD Card (YAY!) which is next to a single SIM slot. Next to these is a connector for extended covers. What WOWed me when I first saw the Asus ZenPad 7 was it’s 5.1 speaker set cover. This cover connects to the said extension to produce even higher sounds in 5.1 (yes, it has a mini subwoofer too) that is so loud, I was able to hear the sound even in a very noisy environment! The trade-off to this accessory will be it’s weight of course, but if you have always needed loud sound, this is just the accessory that you will need!
Back Case connector, single SIM and SD Card slots at the back.
Outside, we have the usual setup like the ZenPad C. The power and volume buttons are located on the right side. At the top, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack while at the bottom, there is the USB charging port and microphone for making calls. At the back, we have a 8MPx camera adorning the top left corner. In front, we have a speaker and a 2MPx camera for your selfies. All well? What’s under the hood?
Specifications

CPU:
Intel Atom X3-C3230 Quad-Core1.04GHz

Display:
7″ LED Backlight WXGA (1280×800) IPS

RAM:
2GB

Storage:
16GB internal Storage + 5GB ASUS WebStorage free for life +
100GB of Google Drive space for 2 years (limited to one claim per account)

Camera:
Front: 2MPx
Rear: 8MPx

SIM:
single-SIM (micro)

OS:
Android 5.0.2 Lollipop

Battery:
13Wh Li-Po

Now, the specs are not far-fetched from the Asus ZenPad C 7.0 other than the display and the RAM. But even these two are already worth the upgrade. Follow along to find out why.
Performance

You might be surprised why is the score even lower than that of Asus ZenPad C 7.0? We are using the same processor but we have an additional 1GB of RAM. Then again, the output has to be rendered at 1280 X 800 resolution which demands the machine to do extra work. It seems like the CPU is bottlenecking the performance output. Our 2GB RAM is not bringing much advantage due to this and yet the I/O is faster. This device gives you mixed feelings like the girl next door.
Given the fact that the Asus Zenpad 7.0 is thicker than it’s little sibling, and the fact that it has an interchangeable cover, one might be thinking it must have a longer lasting battery. Apparently not. The battery in the Asus Zenpad 7.0 has the same capacity as the Asus Zenpad C 7.0. But sweat not, the battery does deliver what it promises. I’m able to push under one day with heavy usage, so all is not bad afterall.
Just the perfect size for your hand. And it has 2GB of RAM too.
Now, you will notice a significant difference of the Asus ZenPad 7.0 against the Asus ZenPad C 7.0 which is multitasking. The Asus ZenPad 7.0 handles multi-tasking a lot more efficiently. You wouldn’t expect a butter smooth experience here though. There are some noticeable lags when you shift between some really bulky apps. But thanks to Asus’ built-in memory cleaner, use that tool smartly and you may find out that this tablet is really the bang for the buck.
One major annoyance that I have been experiencing while using the ZenPads is that the screen rotation redrawing engine is very bad. What does this mean? When the tablet is switched off, and it’s turned on in landscape mode, you will have to rotate the tablet 90° because no one really uses the tablet for normal operations in landscape mode. What actuall happens? When the tablet is switched on and rotated, it will badly lag, while trying to re-render the display in portrait mode. Why is this important? If you have a clutch like looking tablet, you are naturally going to carry it like, yes you guessed it right – a clutch. Hence, it will be residing in the landscape view while you moving it around and would need it to rotate back. A good solution to this is to permanently disable the screen rotation feature and always keep it in portrait mode instead.
Slim beauty with beautiful build quality.
User Experience
We can say that the interchangeable cases are about 3mm thick and adds about 7g to the device because the Asus ZenPad 7.0 is about 8.7mm thick and weighs around 272g in total. Speaking of which, the interchangeable colors are actually classy. Asus calls them Asus Zen Case. ASUS Zen Case are easily changeable back cases beautifully designed with a fine leather pattern and available in five attractive colors to match your style. Choices include Black, White, Aurora Metallic, Blue and Orange. You may want to consider the main body’s back color to match with your Zen Case though.
The ZenCase comes in 5 different colors
Wait, before you think this is just another Nokia’s 90s gimmick, let me tell you this. Things actually get even more interesting. This time around, Asus has added three more accessories to the line-up on top of the Zen Case. The first on that tops my chart is the Asus Audio Cover which brings an immersive 5.1 channel surround sound to the ZenPad. Yes, it does actually have a sub-woofer built-in! You might be wondering how loud it is. When I got to play with it, I stood about 15 meters away from it in a loud restaurant, and it was still VERY loud, so much that the whole restaurant could hear it. Why would I want that loud sound, you ask? Why not?!
The 5.1 surround sound from this case will blow your mind (and ears) off
Second in the accessories is the Asus Zen Power Case. ASUS Power Case extends ZenPad’s battery life by up to 15 hours to easily get you through the day. This beautifully designed case seamlessly attaches to ASUS ZenPad, perfectly matching its look and maintaining its compact size. If power is your priority, then this is your accessory.How does 15 hours of continuous usage sound to you?
Need more power? There is an accessory for it!
Third, we have the Asus Zen Clutch. ASUS Zen Clutch is a fashion-forward cover that combines elegant styling with premium materials to provide a sophisticated carrying and protection solution for ASUS ZenPad. Featuring a fine leather finish available in three vibrant colors that perfectly match ASUS ZenPad, ASUS Zen Clutch has a luxurious look and feel to express your sense of style. Its unique folding design doubles as a convenient stand for typing or watching videos.
The Zen Clutch not just looks beautiful, it keeps your device safe too!
That is just the beginning of the experience in using the Asus ZenPad 7.0. The device itself feels very comfortable in the hands. The back cover provides the grip that you would need for holding the tablet. The bezel is slim yet has enough space to hold the device and the sides are less edgy, less sharp compared to the younger sibling. The weight itself makes it perfect to hold for hours – especially given the fact that it’s my current device for watching online series on Netflix. ASUS ZenPad 7.0 is a 7-inch tablet with a 72% screen-to-body ratio – an incredible engineering achievement made possible by reducing the bezel width to the bare minimum.
The IPS display itself is of another world! You have the HDR mode in your camera and you love the images that are taking using that mode. What if your display itself was permanently HDR, rendering everything that you are seeing in super vivid HD visuals? Asus calls it the Visual Master package that includes IPS technology, Asus Splendid, Asus Tru2Life, Asus TruVivid and Asus Bluelight Filter.
The Asus Tru2Life is an experience of it’s own. It’s intelligent contrast enhancement analyzes and optimizes each pixel in an image before it is reproduced, rendering more detail in the highlights and shadows to reveal the true beauty in your pictures. We are talking about 200% wider contrast levels here. It also has Sharpness Optimization that enhances the images to render much crisper images.
Asus has also incorporated a new technology that transforms the conventional four-layer display design – composed of cover glass, touch panel, air gap, and LCD module – into a two-layer, full lamination design, eliminating the air gap and combining the cover glass and touch panel layers. This offers higher optical transparency (>94%) than conventional display, resulting in brilliant color clarity and brightness.
All is good so far. Then we move on to the sound. This is where things get a little disappointing. Just like the Asus ZenPad C 7.0, the Asus ZenPad 7.0 also has only one speaker in the front that also doubles as the earpiece if you are going to use it for making phone calls. While it has DTS-HD technology incorporated (which by the way sounds superb using earphones or headphones), the earpiece doesn’t really cut the deal to me. I like the fact that it’s front facing at least, but doubling the earpiece as the speaker is not really what I’m a big fan of.
Combining speaker and earpiece. Not really my preference.
The camera that is adorning the Asus ZenPad 7.0 is an 8MPx with PixelMaster technology – the same technology that has been getting praises in the Asus Zenfone series. It does take better pictures than the Asus ZenPad C 7.0 but personally, I don’t think it has what it takes to helm the PixelMaster brand. The images are grainy but less posterized  than it’s younger sibling.
Image taken using the Asus ZenPad 7.0
The Asus ZenPad 7.0 ships with Android 5.0.2 together with Asus ZenUI that makes this device pleasing to hold. And given that the display of this piece of gadget is IPS with a sweet resolution, things do look beautiful on it. Of course, the ZenUI apps is a given advantage to all Asus devices nowadays.
Just like the Asus ZenPad C 7.0, this one comes with 16GB of internal storage, and has an SDCard slot for your expansion pleasures. Asus is also giving a lifetime 5GB WebStorage for free with this device and Google is giving out 100GB of storage for your Google account with the ZenPads, making this a solid deal for purchase!
This device will be available in Malaysia officially with an SRP of RM749 beginning 26th August 2015.
Pokdepinion: The ASUS ZenPad 7.0 is a beautiful piece of gadget and feels perfect in the hand. If you like to project your fashion statement, this tablet is really something you would want to look at. Lightweight usages, browsing and reading are just among the blisses you would have on this piece of device.
