So, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is now up for preorder in Malaysia at a whopping RM10,999. That's a pretty steep price, especially with our weak MYR currency right now. I was curious about whether I should upgrade from my Surface Pro 6 (i7) to this beast, but after checking out the details, I think I'll stay put—for now.

NVIDIA is currently looking into a black screen issue affecting systems running GeForce RTX 30 Series and newer GPUs. Reports of the problem began surfacing after the release of WHQL drivers 572.xx, the first dedicated drivers for the RTX 50 Series.

ASUS has taken PC peripherals to a whole new sensory level with its latest creation—the ASUS Fragrance Mouse. Yes, you read that right. This innovative mouse not only handles clicking and scrolling duties but also releases soothing scents to elevate your workspace ambiance.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has officially hit Malaysian stores, and we've compiled a pricing list featuring models from participating AIB partners. As with previous launches, some brands are yet to provide their pricing details—Gigabyte is currently missing from this list, but we will update it once we receive confirmation. 

Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 1, a cutting-edge quantum processing unit (QPU) built on an innovative Topological Core architecture. Designed to accelerate quantum computing capabilities, this new processor aims to tackle large-scale industrial problems within years rather than decades.

Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone 16e, positioning it as an affordable yet feature-rich entry in its latest smartphone lineup. Priced from RM2,999, the device shares several core hardware elements with its premium counterparts, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. However, subtle modifications under the hood differentiate it from the flagship models, indicating Apple's continued push toward vertical integration in its hardware ecosystem.

Last week, I decided to streamline my daily routine by reducing the number of keys I carry. After some research, I purchased the eLinkSmart Fingerprint Padlock, intrigued by its promise of keyless convenience and advanced security features. 

In 2020, I decided to upgrade my gaming setup with the Aula F2058 mechanical keyboard. Attracted by its futuristic design and budget-friendly price point, I was eager to experience the tactile feedback and performance it promised. The keyboard featured a full-sized layout with a black brushed metal finish, complemented by a detachable ergonomic wrist rest designed to reduce fatigue during extended gaming sessions. The blue LED backlighting, with multiple brightness levels and lighting effects, added a visually appealing touch to my gaming environment.

If there's one piece of gaming gear that has stood the test of time in my setup, it's my Scorpion M315 wired mouse. It has been with me for over 10 years, enduring the relentless abuse of countless gaming marathons, yet it still works as smoothly as the day I bought it. When I purchased it for RM 60, I never imagined it would last this long, especially given the amount of punishment I've put it through.

We all knew AMD was set to launch the Radeon RX 9070 Series at the end of the month, but surprise, surprise—some retailers jumped the gun. Over in Eastern Europe, one lucky (or opportunistic) buyer managed to get their hands on the RX 9070 XT early, and naturally, they wasted no time unboxing it for the internet.

Back in early 2022, I finally caved and got myself the Huawei WiFi 6 AX3 Quad-Core, not for me—oh no—but for my fur overlord who demands faster internet speeds for her important business: watching YouTube birds in 4K, crashing Zoom meetings, and chasing the cursor on my screen like it owes her money.

Ah, 2013 —a time when smartphones were getting smarter, the Harlem Shake was taking over the internet, and I made a questionable life decision: signing up for P1 Wimax as my internet provider. If you're not familiar with P1 Wimax, congratulations—you dodged a bullet. For the rest of us who fell for their grand promises, we have war stories to share.

Reflecting on my journey with high-performance computing, I fondly recall the robust setup I built in 2013. At its core was the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor, a powerhouse of its time. Originally clocked at 2.83 GHz, this CPU was renowned for its overclocking potential, and I couldn't resist pushing its boundaries. By adjusting the front-side bus (FSB) and increasing the Vcore, I achieved a stable overclock at 4.2 GHz. Under load, temperatures reached 80°C, while idling settled around 36°C—figures that were acceptable given the performance gains.

In the world of budget tech, few devices manage to leave a lasting impression, but my Chuwi VI8 Pro was an exception. Back in 2015, when dual-boot tablets were still a novelty, this little device caught my attention for its unbelievable price-to-performance ratio. At just RM 380, it was one of the cheapest Windows and Android tablets on the market. Despite its affordability, it turned out to be one of the most memorable gadgets I've ever owned.
