I have been using the Asus Flow Z13 hybrid notebook for 5 months as my primary work device, and it doesn't disappoint. It is powerful, snappy and is able to perform optimally no matter work kind of workload it is currently in. The display is sharp and plenty bright for my needs. The size is... Continue Reading →
Remember I made a post about getting the 4080 Super after not being able to get my hands of the new generation of GPUs from Nvidia and telling you guys that it was ok? Well, I caved. I bought the recently bought the Asus Tuf RTX 5080. I literally FOMO'ed. And I feel like my... Continue Reading →
Last month, I took a leap of faith and decided to purchase the newly released (and pricey) Asus ROG Flow Z13 2025. It is a laptop-tablet hybrid that features AMD's latest 16 core, 32 thread Strix Halo APU, the Ryzen AI Max +395 with Radeon 8060s integrated GPU. This APU is so fast, that it... Continue Reading →
My workplace laptop is shitty. It's so old and tech refreshes don't come often enough. Right now I am using a 13 inch laptop from Dell, with a measly 8GB of ram, 128GB of SSD storage space powered by an Intel CPU from eons ago. Even the battery can barely hold a charge past the...

Yesterday, I decided to sell my 5th Gen, 12.9 inch iPad Pro with m1 chip. I bought it back in 2021. During the Covid era, it makes sense and everything was on lockdown for most of the year. A tablet like the iPad Pro made a lot of sense when you are cooped up at... Continue Reading →
At the turn of 2025, I decided to get myself a new gaming monitor. Not just any monitor, but an OLED panel. For a while now, I have always been hesitant in getting an OLED panel as a gaming monitor. Screen burn-in issues was my number one concern at the time. Second was the price.... Continue Reading →
My new gaming rig is a radical departure from past gaming set ups that I have in the past. The most major departure is the lack of RBG aesthetics. Gone were the days that I invested quite a bit on RGB fans and peripherals to bling out my gaming rig. There is no more of... Continue Reading →
It's been a month since I got my hands on an RTX 3080, and I have had the opportunity to test it out on a slew of games, from AC Valhalla, to Control, Cyberpunk 2077 and even Death Stranding. In the past month, I put the GPU through its paces and I must say, that... Continue Reading →
I am truly grateful to be able to get my hands on a brand new RTX 3080 GPU. Ever since its official launch more than two months ago, these things are still very rare as demand is still outstripping supply. It is so rare, that people are scalping these things and selling them at way... Continue Reading →
When the new Ryzen's Zen+ Ryzen CPU was officially launched last week, I pulled the trigger to get their latest 2700x, 8C/16T CPU with an accompanying motherboard. I couldn't wait for the ITX motherboards to be released, so it was my first time getting a full ATX motherboard. Previously I mentioned that I never liked... Continue Reading →
Today, I have successfully built another gaming rig for a friend of mine. It was hugely satisfying. I advised him on how and where to get the various parts for his new gaming PC and for how much. We set off on one of the weekend a few weeks ago getting those parts, from Sim... Continue Reading →
