Asus Zenbook UX303UA Real Life Review

Asus Zenbook UX303UA Real Life Review

Let's get right into it. About 1000 EUR fell out of the sky, and I had to choose a PC/laptop within that budget. I came with a list of requirements:
  1. Backlit keyboard. As it is widely known, IT creativity and problem solving abilities in computer sciences are strongly correlated with the darkness. Not a single problem in the history of computers was solved during the daylight, or with even the slightest environmental lights on, because the computer-related answers are always lurking in the dark, waiting for that last beacon of light to die and for the darkness to prevail. So event though the illuminated keyboard does present a direct threat to the problem solving, it is a trade-off which is mostly tolerated in the dark eyes of the IT-related problem-solving creatures. 
  2. As light as possible. Because I had a 3kg+ laptops before, I somehow got tired of not having the possibility to pass the laptop to someone by only using a pinky.
  3. Battery duration at least 76 days on high brightness with 3 movies playing simultaneously.
  4. At least 8GB RAM.
  5. At least i5 CPU.
  6. Full HD resolution IPS Display with good viewing angles, and not nangles.

Filming Star Wars Episode VIII in Dubrovnik Review

Filming Star Wars Episode VIII in Dubrovnik Review
(In Real Life)

Since it's not everyday that Star Wars are being filmed in a circus-multiverse called Croatia, we've decided to take this ~700km trip to Dubrovnik with a New Hope (...) to see something interesting, compromising, or at east humiliating, during the weekend shootings, with a help of civilized intrusive attitude and gentle bad manners. 

As it turned out, the security at the scenes had prepared almost equally civilized defensive attitude with significantly worse manners to meet our own. And there was a ridiculously large number of them at every step, making sure to educate you on walking and observing rules on-site ("Don't look. Go away.").

Lenovo K3 Note (K50-t5) Real Life Review


Lenovo K3 Note (K50-t5) Real Life Review


And yet again it seems that all the reviews of this device available on the Internet are dealing mostly with specs' repetitions and with some meaningless values generated by random number generators known as quadrant, AnTuTu, ruTutUr, or whatever. Specs are nice, pics are pretty, but that doesn't say enough about device today, does it

Because of that, I have unanimously decided to write a review of this device while using it in real life, so I could read the review later, and decide on whether I like the device or not. Basic science.

Chuwi V88S and PIPO S2 tablets, Merimobiles and Paypal Dispute Reviews

The thing is, I sold the previously reviewed Google Nexus 10 because I was pretty much out of the ideas about what to do with the thing, and I had pretty good ideas what to do with about 650$ I sold it for.

And the other thing is, several weeks after I sold it, I was coming up with all the shiny great reasons I would desperately need tablet for. Mindless surfing. Reading magazines. Peeking at books with nice full-colour pictures. Installing bunch of apps I will never use. Trying to root it for no logical reason.

So. I had to buy another one. And this is my story. The Yarvik picture beneath is a spoiler for the next post.

Introduction to Huawei Ascend P1 Real Life Review


Why do I Need to Buy a New Phone Every 2 Years


Every money-consuming time I buy myself a new phone, I think naively to myself - yup, this is it, I won't need any other model, any other NEW phone, this one has it all, now I am finally AT PEACE. Then I would smoke a pipe in a comfy chair, if I would have one, or the other.



And then I start looking for that one bit in the giga-haystack.

This is my story, and official intro to the Huawei Ascend P1 real life review. You can freely skip it if you don't care about my brain and jump straight to the Huawei Ascend P1 Real Life Review.
