Always Connected PC w/ Unlimited Data for the Rest of 2018 Giveaway!

If you haven’t seen them before, Qualcomm and Microsoft partnered up to create a new line of PC called the ACPC with Windows running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. ACPC stands for always connected PC, I would have gone with Snapbook, but whatever. The benefits of running a PC on the Snapdragon platform, usually designed for phones, is that it enables the laptop to be able to have up to 22 hours of battery life and always be connected (hence the name). The laptops have Gigabit LTE so they’re always connected to the internet. They can even stay that way during […]

Facebook just released the Oculus Go, their first ever standalone VR headset. This means no wires, no phone in your face either, just a lightweight headset with Wifi connectivity and a controller that you can use to view 360 content from.

But for anyone that is just curious about the specs, etc. here’s a quick list of them all in an easy-to-read bulleted list.

Razer Blade 15 & Razer Core X Specs, Price & Release Date Revealed

Razer just launched the new version of their Razer Blade called the Razer Blade 15, and a new version of the Razer Core called the Razer Core X (is it just me or is everyone putting X’s in their device names all of a sudden?). The Razer Blade has been Razer’s top-selling product since its debut in 2015, winning countless awards because of its build quality, portability, and power. Regarded back then as the gaming laptop to beat. In the short time that’s passed, however, Razer’s competitors have been catching up with more portable, and more powerful gaming laptops (and with

The Best Camera Bag for Under $70 (Video)

I have a lot of camera bags. I was actually on a mission at one point to find the best camera bag for each scenario I found myself in. From the times I need to bring my large Blackmagic cinema camera, all my mics, tripods, multiple laptops and the whole nine yards, to times when I’m traveling overseas and might need to be a lot more nimble. In those scenarios, for example, I might have my B camera (a Sony A6500), a couple of mics, small tripod, my computer to edit on, and I’d really like to not look so

How to Use YouTube’s New Take a Break Feature

Not that I could see anyone I know using it, but YouTube launched a new “take a break” feature that allows you to set limits in the YouTube app for how long you can view before the app nudges you to take a break. The idea comes from Google I/O and their focus for Android to start helping people who might spend too much time looking at their phone. Now, it might sound counter-intuitive for Google, creator of Android who makes revenue off of you using your phone, to give you ways to use it less, but there’s an amount of moral

Huawei P20 Look Like Stock Android - Copy

How to Make the Huawei P20 Look Like Stock Android

There is no doubt, that the Huawei P20 and the Huawei P20 Pro have some of the best hardware out there. EMUI on the other hand, well, isn’t the most sought-after software on a mobile device. It runs well, keeps the phone faster longer and is great with the battery life frankly, but the look? The look seems a bit cartoony for more western tastes at least. While Huawei has definitely toned down EMUI with the latest versions, a lot of you have been asking me for how to make the Huawei P20 look like stock Android instead. Now, by

How to Change the Font on the LG G7

Something unique to how you can customize LG devices compared to a lot of other manufacturers is the ability to change the font.
