Razer Blade 15 Ultimate Battery Test

The Razer Blade lineup of laptops has had one main complaint (besides the size of the bezels on the older models) and that is the battery life. Now, I just recently got the new Razer Blade 15 (which you can check out my walkthrough on here if interested) and decided it was a good opportunity to see if Razer made any improvements in the battery department and ended up going down a rabbit hole of experiments really because of the different power modes in Windows and the performance modes in Razer’s own Synapse app that can all affect the battery

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

Surface Book 2 (COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH) (Video)

I was finally able to get my hands on it, the 15″ top of the line Surface Book 2. I’ve honestly always been a fan of the Surface Book (and frankly Microsoft’s new direction for their hardware) but could never pull the trigger on buying a Book (or any Surface computer really) because they’ve always lacked a powerful enough GPU for me to be able to edit footage on it. But now, with the Surface Book 2 and the NVIDIA GTX 1060 inside the higher end 15″ model, I can finally give it a try. So here is my complete

Why Windows 10S is Just What Windows Needs (Video)

Windows 10S: faster, better battery life, and limited to Microsoft Store only apps. That last part doesn’t sound good but wait. Since it’s only store apps allowed they are vetted and optimized, and more importantly, are packaged in a way that they can’t affect Windows startup and are sandboxed from the rest of the system, much like MacOS. This is in comparison to regular exe programs that can basically do anything they want to your PC (and hence the for a lot more anti-virus software on a PC, etc.). Because they can’t affect the system’s registry and use a virtual

How to Fix the Surface Pen Writing on the Screen After You Lift Up

I had an issue recently with my new Surface Pro’s pen. Turns out every time I would lift up my pen while writing, the “ink” would continue to draw for a second or two, leaving these scribbles of text instead of the slightly-less-unreadable-scribbles that are my own horrible handwriting. No matter what I did, it seemed I couldn’t get rid of the issue either. I tried going into the pen settings and recalibrating it, I tried resetting settings in Windows, rebooting, and nothing worked. It was at this point (which was also the point right before I was about to

Microsoft Surface Pro (2017): What’s Changed?! (Video)

Microsoft invited me by to demo some of the new Surface computers that were announced recently. And while I’ve already done a video on the new Surface Laptop which I sort of love the design of (and you can check out that video here), I haven’t had a chance to check out the new Surface Pro that was announced in China recently. So, I walked up to it and… it looks the same. So what changed besides dropping the number at the end from 5 to just Surface Pro? I asked one of the reps there that exact question and,
