MacBook gold unboxing - my first ever Mac!


Apple Macbook Retina Display Laptop (12 Inch Full-HD LED Backlit IPS Display, Intel Core M-5Y31 1.1GHz up to 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0) Gold (Renewed)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Just got my first MacBook ever. The reason I'm even getting a MacBook now is because of this latest 2015 retina macbook gold version. I didn't really buy it because it has top specs and able to play the latest games on high settings. I bought it, on a whim!

It does have an Intel 1.1 GHz m core, 5300 HD graphics, 8 GB ram and a mere 256gb SSD that's already left around 50+ GB, after I finished downloading, Shadow of Mordor, from steam. I'm not even sure if this MacBook gold can play the game (*update. No, you can't!).

It was on sale, so I bought it for the mac version. I hope, it can at least play on low settings.




So far, I've tried playing dirt 3 complete edition, dirt showdown, sid meier's civilisation V and Torchlight II all settings ranging from all low to mediums and high. You really have to play around with the settings to get to your desired result. I haven't t tried Age of Wonders III, which I already downloaded. Will soon. Oh yeah, I've played Diablo III on this machine and it rocks!

I've already uploaded the Diablo III gameplay video here. I'm actually typing this blog on my MacBook gold now and most people have already talked about the keyboard on their sites and video reviews. Yes, it's really shallow and it's like typing on a piece of paper. Apple claimed that its new key butterfly design is better than the old scissors type. That's for us, users to decide though.

If you're already used to touch typing then, it won't be much of a problem. It's not that bad. I keep typing on it as if it's a mechanical keyboard. And, it's also a backlit keyboard. My damn Acer doesn't have a backlit keyboard and I'm having problem typing on it in the dark. I think every laptop should have a backlit keyboard. Yes, most of us or maybe it's just me, who likes to stay in the dark while...surfing.

I'm still trying to get used to using this MacBook as I'm primarily a Windows user. There's a bit of a learning curve but I'm loving it. I like to learn and try out new stuff or techs. Ok, mac been here for a long time and I did play around with a mac like 20+ years ago and don't think the OS UI has changed that much. I still remember the top bar and its command control.

After this, I'm checking out on youtube for the command shortcuts. Just find out how to cut and paste stuff on the mac and how to correct my spellings. Lol. The touchpad is also a new technology that Apple is using. It doesn't have the two buttons that other laptop usually have. I'm used to right-clicking on the touchpad to select but this mac has just one single touchpad. It's really smooth and soft to the touch. I like it. Right, I just learned to tap two fingers on the touchpad to open the select menu.

In fact, I really like this MacBook gold. I like the color and design. It only has a one type c port for charging and connecting stuff like your USB, multi-port, etc. It's a little annoying as I'm used to plugging my iPhone, laptop cooler, mouse and even my game controller. I'm trying to use this mac as it is. Just for surfing youtube, facebook-ing and checking my email.




I don't blog as much nowadays. But, so far, it doesn't hang up or anything. I have steam, Safari, iMessage, and blogger opened all at once. As I'm blogging, I'm actually learning how to use this machine. I'm getting used to the keyboard now. I think, if you use it as it's meant to be, a netbook, albeit an expensive one then you'll find this laptop really fun to use.

I have watched movies listen to music and it's a joy. The sound, for a netbook, is really loud. I'm half deaf so, if I'm telling you it's loud, it's really loud. I have an Acer laptop and the sound speaker not as good as this. In fact, I had to plug in a mini speaker just to hear someone talking. So, I have really no complained about the speaker onboard this mac.

Oh. One thing, I'm really concerned about is, how hot this laptop can get if you're playing any kind of game. It's a fanless laptop and there are no ventilation holes. Not sure, if any hot air can come in or out from the laptop speaker. But, if you're planning for heavy usage, then it's better you're inside an aircon room or you're sitting near a fan. A BIG fan. I'm touching the underside of the laptop and it's really hot. Maybe, because I'm charging it. But, I've already unplugged and hope it's cooling down.

*Update: Nope, it's still hot.




The battery for this laptop is really good. Since I'm already unplugged from the power source, and it's around 1:00 pm right now. I'm guessing, I'll be charging again tonight. Unless I decide to play some games on it. Then, I'll probably have to charge it back by 5:00 pm. This laptop is pretty light too. Around, 2 pounds and as thin as Steve Jobs used to be, rest his soul. If you're up there somewhere, then you'll be proud of this MacBook Gold!

New Nintendo 3ds xl - unboxing and gameplay yokai watch!


Black Nintendo 3DS XL Bundle Nintendo, AC Adapter, and Two Full Games 3D Mode (Ages 7+ Years)

Hey guys,

I decided to get myself the new, Yokai Watch game the other day. I didn't really know if my local game shop already got it as I didn't pre-order or anything. I saw the demo of the game on a youtube show from the dev but totally forget about it.

Anyway, I tried my luck and am happy that I decided to buy it. It's really fun and the battle a little different from the other rpg game. Although, it might get a bit distracting as while your team is battling away, you're looking at the bottom screen either frantically making a circle or drawing a symbol.

I think, I prefer to use the button to play the game. But, since you need to draw the symbols, holding on to your touch pen is also vital at time. I find it a bit hard to play while laying down on your bed or the couch during battle time. Maybe, I'll get used to it. :p

The game are full of little things you can do like catching bugs, making friend with yokai and interacting with the local people. I like the graphics and design of the game. The storyline is also interesting.

Well, as always, I took a video of unboxing the game and also show a little gameplay. Hope you like it.

Check out the video gameplay!

Get the game via the link below:



YO-KAI WATCH - 3DS

YO-KAI WATCH centers on a boy who gets a special watch that lets him befriend and help mischievous Yo-kai* and later summon them to fight other Yo-kai. Players can overcome challenges and help various characters solve everyday problems with the help of Yo-kai friends. These eccentric Yo-kai resemble anything from inanimate objects to mythical creatures.

Playing Diablo III on my 3 year old m14x


Lenovo 15.6" Legion Y520 Notebook Windows 10 Home 64 bits 2.8GHz Intel Core I7-i7700HQ 8GB DDR4 RAM 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD 1920 x 1080

Hey guys,

Recorded this on the fly using my iPhone 6. Think the vid aren't that clear. should have chose HD on upload to my youtube channel.

Anyway, I'm playing this on my 3 year old m14x. Yes, it's been that long. I still or barely remember the first day, I unbox it. Actually, I have that video uploaded on youtube too. Just visit my main site at https://www.youtube.com/freaker126

I still have to tinker with the setting a bit. As with all other games. So, the most important thing is being able to play that game. For some latest games like Dragon Age inquisitions, I'm having trouble playing it even on low. I'm not sure if it's because of the driver. I've tried everything and even install and re-install Nvidia Ge Force driver.

I've actually upgraded my m14x to wins 10 on Free upgrade from Wins 7. It's pretty smooth on Wins 10. Doesn't help much on gaming. But, at least it's Free right?

Anyway, haven't upload much gameplay for my m14x. I'm looking around to upgrade to another new gaming laptop but have to save up first. Nowadays, there seem to be a lot of good offering at good prices. I'm still shopping around. I'll love to get the new alienware gaming laptop but others offer better prices. Like the Lenovo Y50.

I'll be happy to get a gaming laptop that can play Dragon Age Inquisition on high. That'll be my benchmark. I'm also thinking of getting a desktop gaming rig but the usage of power would be very high. I don't game that much. Don't have the time. And, sometime, I just need to surf or watch movies online.

I also, like to lay down on the floor much of the time. I can't sit too long with my bad back and leg crampz. So, a laptop fit my lifestyle. Well, anyway. Hope you like the video.

Happy gaming!

Unboxing my new iPhone 6 space grey 128gb


Apple iPhone 8 Plus 5.5", 64 GB, GSM Unlocked, Space Gray

Yo guys,

I just got my new iPhone 6/128gb/space grey on Friday and been playing around with it for awhile now. I sold my iPhone 6 plus, 64gb because thought I needed more space. A 128gb iPhone 6 plus would be a little expensive. Since, I'm able to re-contract with my current telco, I decided to get the iPhone 6 with the extra spaces.

The iPhone 6 does feel a little smaller but not that small and not that big either. At 4.7" screen size, I think it felt just right. Before, I got the iPhone 6, I had to use the old iPhone 4 which I borrowed from my nephew and it was a little frustrating. The phone keep opening up on it's own and taking pictures inside my pocket. So, i had a lot of dark pictures inside my phone and have to manually keep deleting them. I'm not sure what happen to the auto-lock. Maybe, it unlocked itself after touching my thigh.

Also, maybe I'm getting old but, because the iPhone 4 screen is a little small compared to my old iPhone 6 plus, I had problem with the small words font. Keep taking off my specs to read or look at the pictures. And, the camera aren't that sharp either. I need to take photos for work and play, and the quality of the pics aren't as good as my iPhone 6 plus. With that respect, i really do miss my iPhone 6 plus. It's the best iPhone of all the generations of iPhone that Apple build. Not really a fan of the slippery design though. I was always afraid of accidentally, dropping it.

Now, back to my iPhone 6. I'm still updating and getting used to it. Bought, tempered glass protection for the screen and clear case cover for it. Sometime, I still hold the phone as if I'm holding an iPhone 6 plus. With two hands. Taking pictures is easy and fast. The phone doesn't feel slow and lag like the iPhone 4 is now. Not really sure about the battery but, since, I'm still playing around with it often, I have to at least charge it twice per day. The iPhone 6 plus overall have the better battery that can last the whole day without the need to recharge. But, i still charge during my lunch time and it's almost always down by the time I reach home at around 8pm.

I actually thought of getting the Blackberry classic or the blackberry passport but they were sold out. Guess, i'll just stick with the iPhone. Don't really wanna go for the Samsung S6 or edge which is more cheaper. Another thing is that, I don't like android. The phone seems to lag and am also not really a fan of the UI. Anyway, right now, I'm going to install wins 10 on my m14x and hope will put new life to it. I installed wins 10 on my Acer with Amd radeon graphic cards and it seem to improve gaming.

Till later.

Just installed new Microsoft wins 10!


Hey guys,

Check it out!

So...many people have installed successfully the new wins 10 which is free. I decided to try to check if I'll be able to do that today. 

After a few hiccups, finally, it's downloading all the files required and tada!

Check out some of the pics below:

If you're wondering, that's my Acer laptop. For me, it's such a reliable laptop!


It's not a gaming laptop, but it has AMD Radeon graphics. Which can play the latest games on medium-high. Games, like Dirt 2 and Diablo III


This might be a little nitpicking, the keyboard chicklets are great but it's not backlit. I like to lay down on the floor at night doing my things. And, although, I can touch-type without looking at the keyboard, there are certain keys I have to strain my eyes looking for in the dark.


This installation is pretty long.


Right...


Finally! 


The last time I tried installing the beta on my Alienware m14x, my wifi didn't work. This time, I had no problem with it. 


Nice looking calculator. 


Looks really cool. 


Searching for...


All on one page. 


What else is there?


This looks really nice and cool. I'm gonna play around with the O.S. for awhile. So far, so good though. Wait, where are my games?

Download it now for yourself and test it out!
