Handheld gaming PCs are a weird bunch, at least when it comes to classifying them as a piece of consumer hardware. For the most part, we define something as a “handheld PC” when it is built to run a full desktop/laptop operating system in mind. This means either using traditional Intel or AMD CPUs, or […]
As the entire PC enthusiast community reels in the disaster that is the current GPU crisis, people are driven to look for any alternative solutions to building a gaming machine.

Mid-range laptops have changed significantly over the past two years. Not just in terms of graphics performance, but the average choice of CPUs has since then drastically evolved thanks to AMD’s insistence in driving its multi-core philosophy to the mobile market. We take a look at some of the best mid-range mobile gaming laptop for […]
Here is the thing, while both MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro 13 M1 come with Apple’s own silicon, they carry with it the same design as previous generation devices based on Intel processors. The MacBook Pro 14 and 16 launched at the end of 2021 use a whole new chassis design, Liquid Retina XDR display […]
So here is the thing, both 13.3-inch laptops are based on the same Apple M1 chip and are equally great at single core and multi-core tasks, even beating the top shelf MacBook Po 16-inch of 2019 with Intel Core i9-9980HK and iMac 27 2020 with Intel Core i9-10910. They are great value and a force […]
The years 2020 and 2021 have been absolutely crazy, with the pandemic outbreak, chip shortage, scalpers, and all. In the PC tech industry alone, these whirlwind of issues eventually caused the current GPU crisis, effectively eliminating most up-to-date entry-level components as serious price-to-performance options.
Short answer: Alder Lake is fine as it is, but you may want to “ripen” it a bit further. To put that into better context, Intel’s Alder Lake (12th Gen) architecture finally brings the tech giant back to the competitive consumer table. And even if naysayers keep on sharply criticising the usual tendency of Intel CPUs […]

Their focus on tablets and laptop brought us MateBook D and MateBook X Pro. This time around we […]
Google’s Pixel phones have been more or less stable over its past few iterations. Stable, in the sense that they offered a decent competition towards the tier that the product is designed to go up against. Over the years, that tier has become more upper mid-range than premium or high-end. So apart from software-based perks, […]
If there is one thing that AMD’s most recent GPU offerings have proven once and for all, is that base retail prices are now effectively scalped prices. Even at the lowest end of the current latest generation market, MSRPs have been adjusted so that AIB partners themselves get a good piece of the chip shortage […]
