MWC19 (Mobile World Congress) Coverage
I’m in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress that officially starts tomorrow Monday the 25th. Xiaomi had their launch event today which I attended, it certainly was busy and very hard to even get time on with the new Mi 9 and Mi 9 SE. You can see my hands-on videos below and other various videos from MWC19. I’m here to check out not just the new mobile tech, but also laptops, tablets...[Read More]

Powerful $400 Six Core Intel Core i7 8750H Mini PC Review
This is what the site is about finding those value for money items that are a great value, a good bang for your buck. After the Core i5 8250U mini pc I reviewed that had power current and limit throttling I was worried about forking out $400+ USD for an even more powerful Intel Core i7 8750H mini PC, but this one is a true gem and in many aspects surprised me mostly its great fan noise (complete l...[Read More]
Voyo After Sales is bad
I won’t get a Voyo if I were you. I will forever say this whenever I find anything they sell online. Their after sales is a gimmick. They converse but the goal is for you to give up asking for support. The devices they ship out will break in a few months leaving you a brick. Either the power switch breaks. Then later on the keyboard. Never buy a Voyo. You’ve been warned
Teclast F7 Plus Copper Heatsink Mod. A Must If You Want to Tweak Power Limits
The Teclast F7 Plus review has been out for a while now, it’s one of the best if not the best Gemini Lake laptop. And one with 8GB of RAM unlike the Lapbook SE which has only 4GB. Thermals under the stock TDP (Power Limit) are perfectly fine, but if you’re like me you always want to push the absolute maximum out of your tech. Then this mod here which I’ve been doing for years is...[Read More]
Chuwi Lapbook SE 64GB eMMC Model Now $270
One of my favorite Gemini Lake laptops along with the Teclast F7 Plus is the Lapbook SE. The 32GB eMMC + 128GB SSD models seem to have been phased out and now Chuwi sells only a new 64GB eMMC 5.1 model which means no 128GB SSD. But the slot is still there for upgrades. No other changes to the laptop, so still no sign of the 8GB DDR4 version. You can find the new model listed here on Gearbest for $...[Read More]

UMPC’s aren’t quite gone for good. Chinese manufactures GPD and One Netbook still make them and this one packs quite a punch considering its size 7″ size.
