The probably the most popular listening device on the planet is the Apple AirPod. I mean, they are everywhere. If you live in New York City as I do or any other city, for every one person there are ten individuals with AirPod's. But despite its popularity, the AirPod for me had some glaring issues. No active noise cancellation, they don't securely stay in your ear canals and the audio quality is a bit bland.
Several contributing factors can cause your battery to rapidly drain on an Android smartphone. Bright OLED screens, slimmed-down form factors, a faster processor, and software that lies doormat in the background, all can take a significant toll on the phone's battery. Not surprising to find many smartphone users bring along all sorts of accessories to preserve or boost battery power. Just so you know, the charging cable, external battery brick, and charging case is currently packed away in a knapsack
I don't think anyone saw this coming, well, at least I didn't. The long-rumored noise-canceling AirPods Pro will finally come to fruition. No October product event is needed as Apple made their announcement via press release. These are premium earbuds; the price indeed dictates that at $249 and will be released on October 30th. Pre-orders for the AirPod Pro is now available.
No matter the branding home assistant Speakers are a popular gadget that’s in many homes by the millions. But if you currently own the Google Home, Mini, and Max, you may be in the majority who have non-functioning devices as a result of faulty firmware upgrades. Can you hear me shaking my head?
Ah leaks, you got to love them when it entails anything tech. The latest such leaks that caught my attention is a mysterious motherboard from Gigabyte posted on the Internet. According to reports, this motherboard carries an Auros branding. If you take a close look at the image, notice the symbol next to the socket, which further speculates that this motherboard explicitly is made for AMD's upcoming third-generation Ryzen Threadripper processor, that's set to launch next month.
Samsung Note 10, then we have Apple who just unleashed their iPhone 11 a few weeks back, now it's Google turn to raise the curtains and reveal their new smartphone. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel XL. Lot of features and specs to cover in this post. So with that said, here's what you need to know about Google's newest flagship smartphone.
In today's PC realm, 16GB of RAM is sufficient enough to get you through any PC related tasks. Anything over that capacity is considered to be overkill. But we're living in an age where some applications demand that you exceed the standard capacity in both RAM and storage drives. With that said, G.Skill is introducing a handful of new high capacity and performing DDR4 memory kits that consist of 32GB dual-modules, offering up to an astounding 256GB.
For months rumors have circulated that AMD may release entry-level based Navi Radeon graphics cards to market. Well, those rumors are now put to rest as AMD makes it official by announcing their new Radeon RX 5500 family. The new graphics cards are a level below the current Radeon RX 5700 variants that currently on the market.
By the time this post is published, it would have been a full 24 hours since Microsoft held its yearly Surface event, which took place here in New York City — living up to the hype and rumors that circulated on the Internet months before launching the Surface Laptop 3.
My hardware pick of the month is indeed a good one for those looking to upgrade to an NVMe SSD hard drive. The Kingston 500 GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD PCIe 3.0 hard drive is an easy choice not because of its reasonable price point, which I'll get to later in this post. It's high-performance gains you'll be getting once you install this drive into your system.
I've had time to digest everything I needed to know about the iPhone 11 Pro series and came away quite impressed with what Apple has to offer. In regards to the smartphone's hardware, again, impressive. The iPhone 11 Pro now sports an A13 Bionic chip, have a bigger battery ( 3969 mAh for the Pro Max) and an XDR OLED display. Though the smartphone retains 12MP camera or cameras plural, Apple now adds a third ultra-wide camera.
The HP ZBook 14u G6 is probably the most interesting device I've profiled on Hardware Breakdown. The display in comparison to most laptops on the market is rather small at, yet packs some serious features and hardware that would classify it to be a mobile workstation.
The Logitech has just announced the Logitech G604, wireless gaming mouse which is an updated version from the G602, making it's market debut back in 2013.
The graphic card, processor and other components get more powerful and faster by the year. The PC peripherals do not follow the same blueprint pretty much staying the same. For the most part, manufacturers tend to focus on value, trends, product design, and innovation.
The thought has come to mind to purchase a Fire TV Cube. Good thing I held off from buying the device as Amazon is on the verge of releasing a second-generation model. Similar functional features to the first generation variant, the new Fire TV Cube will offer upgrades over the original version. The noticeable change is to Hardware. The Fire TV Cube will now have an octa-core processor. According to Amazon, this makes it the "fastest most powerful Fire TV" ever.
A motherboard that's abundantly rich in features is always the best option for any system builder. Precisely what have with the X570 Aorus Master motherboard. Not only is it rich in features, but its also structurally designed to withstand the weight of most high-end video cards. Offering extensive DDR4 memory support and have a bevy of connectivity options.
Week ending deals have not been posted on this site for quite some time, and for that, I apologize. With that said, I have a good deal for your readers. The Dell S series LED-Lit 32-inch monitor retails for just $223.48 on Amazon. It comes with a load of impressive features, that includes QHD 2560 x1440 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 99% sRGB and surprisingly it has AMD FreeSync feature. Not bad for the retail price.
I have a soft spot for Lenovo with good reason. The company build very high quality laptops, the best on the market. If you browse through the website archives and search laptops, you'll likely see Lenovo dominate most of the written content. That's why I'm pretty excited about what Lenovo is about the release to market, three new laptops.. The fact that each new laptop will be integrated with the latest 10th gen Comet Lake processor and have advanced storage technology has me even more stoked with excitement.
This month hardware pick is a good one, what we have here is the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC graphics card. A valuable choice for any PC builder looking to construct a budget system. Aside from the specs which I'll get to in a few lines, the $229 price most certainly will entice anyone to purchase this hardware.
It’s been a week since Samsung unveiled their top-end flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 10. I've had plenty of time to digest all of its features and hardware specs presented on the device. But before we get into the topic at hand, I want to point out much like the Galaxy 10 series, there are three versions. There's the Galaxy Note 10, the Note 10 Plus and the 5G variant. Let us direct our focus on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.
