“I don’t think it will fit”, I said to myself begrudgingly as I unsuccessfully tried to fit the Huawei Y Max into the phone holder in my car. Too bad, I thought, because the large display would have made using Google Maps much easier. To say that the 7.12-inch display is gigantic would be apt, […]
Late last year I had the chance to take a look at ASUS’ new battery king, the ZenFone Max Pro M2. That was certainly a liberating experience for people like me who find it annoying to be tethered to a wall socket in the middle of the day. It’s one of the most requested feature […]
I have already considered myself as a ROG fanboy. I’ve had two ROG Gaming Laptops (currently using a ROG Zephyrus S GX531 – DR on the Go’s Gaming Laptop of the Year,) peripherals like the ROG Strix Flare keyboard, and even merchandise like my newly purchased ROG 2019 cap and hoodie.

These are the people you won’t see shuffling about with 13-inchers either because screen real-state to them is as […]
INTRODUCTION How fast time flies in the consumer electronics space just beggars belief. It wasn’t that long ago when I was debating with my friend-now-girlfriend whether the Zenfone 2 had 4GB of RAM or not (it was a huge number in 2016, believe me). Now though, we’re already in the 5th iteration of the ASUS’s […]
Two months after COMPUTEX 2018 when the ASUS ZenBook S UX391 and ZenBook Pro UX580 were announced, a new series of ZenBooks were introduced again. The ASUS ZenBook UX333/433/533 line claim to be the world’s smallest laptop series. Even with their smaller than the average sizes of laptops, these ZenBooks offers office productivity to its […]
ASUS is giving its ROG STRIX gaming laptop line-up the full RTX treatment and first at the bat for us is the STRIX SCAR II GL704.

We are still in the second month of February and a lot of new products were already announced. Last month, the announcement of new NVIDIA Graphic Cards opened the gates to new ROG products like the refreshed ROG Strix Hero II and SCAR II and the much anticipated ROG Mothership.
