My Main Desktop Monitor and 2 Portable Monitor DIY Setup


UPERFECT Two Portable Monitor deal!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally, decided to get a 15.6-inch portable monitor for my main PC desktop setup. I already have one 13 inches. Yeah, I know, it'll look uneven. Well, I can always buy another 15.6 inches and use the 13 inches with my laptop.

I'm actually, prefer to get the portable monitor with the attachment for it. I'm hoping for the price to go down a little. Also, am looking for a little better design. The current ones look a little too bulky to me. If the choice is limited that means, the market isn't there yet.



UPERFECT Portable Monitor

While waiting for my new portable monitor to come, I decided to clear some spaces for it. Did some quick measurement to hang my left and right speakers of my main pc monitor. Took out my old and trusty power hand drill and voila!


A good idea to take out my main monitor first. 


My trusty old Decker Power Hand drill!


Drilling the first hole.


Normally, a contractor would use a vacuum to suck out the drill dust. Unless you prefer cleaning it up later.


I use a standard wall plug cut into half before screwing in the screws.


Now, it's ready to test and hang my left speaker.


Looks good. And, exactly where I wanted it.


My toolbox. I used to work as a building maintenance guy. Some of the tools I bought were for my workplace. They don't supply everything to us. I brought them home once they send me other places.


Now, it's time for the right speaker. I already did both of the measurements and markings.


Both speaker's position is done!


Now, for some wiring management. Don't really have to do much. I can't hide it because I have a hanging tabletop fixed to the wall.


Looks like a little cramp. I guess it'll do for now. I don't have much space to work with anyway.


Temporary, I'll put the 13-inch portable monitor in the middle. Once, my 15.6-inch portable monitor arrived, I'll shift it to the right. The 15.6 will be my main monitor to work on. I prefer using the main pc monitor on top for watching youtube and movies.


Tada!


I can't wait for my 15.6-inch portable monitor to arrives. I can have Whatsapps and social media use on the right while working on my blog on the left. 


I actually have a big screen Tv on the right, which I only use for console gaming. Of course, I can also watch youtube with it while I'm in bed. I can also watch local Tv shows if I want to. Now, I can use a digital signal areal instead of a cable from the main source.

Looking at my computer setup today makes me reminiscences the old days. When I first bought my main computer with loans. It cost me 3 months worth of pay. And, it was the top of the line with windows 3.1. I can't even remember the brand.

Fast forward to the future and here we are in 2020. In the middle of the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. The thing is, I've kept myself busy doing videos and posting articles on my blog. Tech actually kept me sane while everyone is talking about depression or whatnot.

All I can say is, if you stay indoors, keep yourself busy doing your own projects and prepare when things going to finally turn around, you might get to catch that big wave that surfers been dreaming of. There will always be a bad time. But, with bad time, you know the good time will always be around the corner. You just need to be a little patient.

I'll be posting about my new setup once my 15.6-inch portable monitor arrives. So, stay tuned!

Nintendo Switch lite - HYRULE WARRIORS AGE OF CALAMITY - demo gameplay


Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Nintendo Switch

Hey guys,

Check it out!

You can now download and try out the new game demo version coming out this Nov 20, 2020. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. And, I must say, I'm really liking this game. This is the first time, I'm playing the demo so I wasn't exactly sure, what to expect.

The control is pretty easy and once you get the basics, you're ready to go to war. In the game of course. This is just a demo so, things might change from the finished product. The graphics are the same as the other iterations of the Zelda games for the switch.



Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Nintendo Switch

  • Experience the events of the Great Calamity 100 years before the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game
  • Dozens of gripping cutscenes shed new light on characters like Zelda, the four Champions, the King of Hyrule, and more
  • Play as characters like Link, Zelda, and more and learn their distinct attacks and combat styles
  • The four Champions are playable for the first time
  • See a lively Hyrule before it was ravaged by Calamity Ganon

I only played the game awhile until I took over the first fort. You can watch my gameplay here. Playing on my Nintendo Switch lite as always is pretty smooth. The demo seems to allow me to play quite a bit of the game. I saw a few forts shown on the map after taking over the first.

I'm definitely, checking it out tonight before I sleep. I like playing with my Nintendo Switch lite on my bed. If I'm not playing any game, I'll just watch youtube videos on it. It's also my favorite for listening to music. That's why I wish, Spotify and even Netflix available for the switch.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

I wonder why there aren't any other special editions of the Nintendo Switch or Switch lite. There should be a Zelda version. A Hyrule Warriors would be cool. Not that I'll buy, since I already have the Zacian and Zamazenta edition. Unless it's an upgraded version.

Anyway, if you're eager to check out the demo version of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, you can download it from the eShop right now. You can also order the physical cartridge or digital version. Wish they have posters or some cool stuff when you guy the physical card.

Why I'm Not Getting the PS5 or Xbox Series X - Yet


Xbox Series X

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Have you checked out the few top YouTubers that got their hands on the Xbox Series X, S, and PS5, doing their unboxing videos? I must say, I'm a little jealous. Ok, I'm feeling envious and jealous! At the same time, I'm feeling, meh!

Yeah, it's all new and dandy with the latest specs. While Xbox Series X/S design is simple and kinda Zen, although, they could go for much smaller and slimmer. The PS5 is like something from the future. See that I said, "future". Because we're still not advance yet. In terms of technology and the way we live or do things.



Xbox Series X

  • Introducing Xbox Series X, the fastest, most powerful Xbox ever. Play thousands of titles from four generations of consoles-all games look and play best on Xbox Series X.
  • Experience next-gen speed and performance with the Xbox velocity architecture, powered by a custom SSD and integrated software.
  • Play thousands of games from four generations of Xbox with Backward compatibility, including optimized titles at launch.
  • Download and play over 100 high-quality games, including all-new Xbox Game Studios titles like Halo Infinite the day they release, with Xbox Game Pass ultimate (membership sold separately).
  • Xbox Smart delivery ensures you play the best available version of your game no matter which Console you're playing on.



Xbox Series S

  • Access your favorite entertainment through apps like YouTube, Netflix, and more
  • Enjoy over 100 games right out of the box with a 1 month Xbox Game Pass trial
  • Watch 4K Blu-ray movies and stream 4K video on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Microsoft Movies & TV, and more
  • Play with friends and family near and far—sitting together on the sofa or around the world on Xbox Live, the fastest, most reliable gaming network
  • Xbox One games and accessories work together

At the moment, I still have my Xbox One S Gear of War edition. I haven't been playing games on it for a couple of months now since my trial version of the Xbox Game Pass or was it Live Gold ended. This is part of the reason why I hate the gaming world today. 

I also stop buying games when they have all these confusing versions of the games. You can buy games that include game pass or live gold. And, even if you have subscriptions, you still have to buy new games when they come out.



PlayStation 5 Console

  • Lightning Speed - Harness the power of a custom CPU, GPU, and SSD with Integrated I/O that rewrite the rules of what a PlayStation console can do.
  • Stunning Games - Marvel at incredible graphics and experience new PS5 features.
  • Breathtaking Immersion - Discover a deeper gaming experience with support for haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D Audio technology.
Of course, Sony Playstation has the same deal too. Makes you more confused about which one to choose. By the way, the PlayStation 5 also has a digital version. Most gamers today prefer buying games via the system online store.

Gone are the good old days when you go to your local game store to get the physical version. They'll sometimes have cool offers with posters or special editions. I don't see the point of buying a physical version if the only thing you're gonna get is the game disc or cartridge.



I'm not saying I dislike buying the digital version of the games. In fact, I bought so many games on the Nintendo Switch stores which are always having good deals. I'm running out of storage. Even though, I just bought a 512GB MicroSD card.

If you're wondering what does a Nintendo Switch have to do with the latest Xbox Series X/S and PS5? Well, I'm gaming more on it than I ever will with either the Xbox or Playstation. Well, my Playstation 3 died on me a couple of years back. That's why I'll probably get the PS5 later on, if ever.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Gray

Owning the Nintendo Switch lite right now, makes me realized, I'll be using it more than the Xbox X Series or a PS5. Simply because it is more accessible and flexible. Turning on both of the consoles is a hassle. I might turn it on once in a while to enjoy the advanced graphics and play games on the big screen Tv.

In the end, it really depends on your own preferential. Some like to sit down and enjoy playing their games for hours on their console. Some like me prefer playing on their handheld whenever and wherever we go. Especially, if you travel or move around a lot.

To play a console game, you need to set a time to play it. Playing on a portable console, you play anywhere and anytime you want. It's always with you. Just like playing mobile games. Only, the Nintendo Switch has 'real' games. Not games that need an internet connection or full of advertisements!

Yup, I'm not getting the PS5 or Xbox Series X, yet. But, I'll definitely get the latest Nintendo Switch if ever they're coming up with a more advanced version. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy playing games more on my portable game console. That's for sure!

ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo - The laptop of tomorrow?


ASUS ZenBook Duo UX481 Laptop, 14” FHD NanoEdge Bezel Touch, Intel Core i7-10510U, GeForce MX250, 16GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Innovative ScreenPad Plus, Windows 10 Pro, Celestial Blue, UX481FL-XS74T

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I talk about laptops with dual monitor attachment. At first, I wasn't into them. But, after using a portable monitor as a second monitor, it all makes sense to me. Having two or more monitors is practical if you're a multi-tasker. 

How many of us open more than 10 tabs in our browser? Rather than switching between them, why not have them open up on more screens? I usually use my main monitor to watch youtube videos while I work on my blog and youtube channel below on my portable monitor.



Trio Portable Monitor for Laptop, The On-The-Go Dual & Triple Screen 1080P IPS Display Laptop Monitor, USB A/Type-C, Lightweight Design, Mac, PC, Linux, Chromebook 13-17 Laptops (One Trio 12.5" Monitor)

Sometimes, I'll open up more tabs on my main screen too. I'm also thinking of using the laptop portable monitor attachment for my main screen. So, I'll have two more added screens. The problem is that my desktop room is already a little cramp right now. I'll need to figure a way to fit them all in one desk.

I am also thinking of upgrading my main pc monitor to a wider curved monitor. Would be great to watch movies on it. And, maybe since it'll be wider, I can use split-screen for my browsers. I don't use apps much. Only Whatsapp, and sometimes Microsoft Your Apps to access my phone.



ASUS ZenBook Duo UX481 Laptop, 14” FHD NanoEdge Bezel Touch, Intel Core i7-10510U, GeForce MX250, 16GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Innovative ScreenPad Plus, Windows 10 Pro, Celestial Blue, UX481FL-XS74T

Well, all these brings me to why I'm beginning to like the Asus Pro Duo two-screen laptop concept. I won't be surprised if Asus actually got the idea from Apple. Remember that Apple Touch Bar laptop? People didn't think much of that. Well, Asus did one up with that 'silly' idea.

First thing first, I've never owned or even seen it in real life. So, my opinions are based on what I've seen from pictures and specs. I didn't even bother to watch the reviews. Am mostly based on my experience as a multi-tasker with dual monitors.

Okay, I decided to watch a Linus video review on the laptop around a year ago just a moment ago and it's still relevant now. He even said, what was on my mind. This dual-screen laptop is great for multi-taskers. You can open up youtube or blog on the main screen and do research on the second screen below. Pretty nifty!

One thing for sure, it's definitely much better than Apple's stupid touch bar. With this second screen, which is also a touchscreen, you can do so much more. It's just like a normal second screen without the need for any kind of software. But, Asus did do that too. So, it's more like a plus to what you're already using. Now, that's what I call an added value. 



ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo Gaming and Business Laptop (Intel i9-9980HK 8-Core, 32GB RAM, 2TB m.2 SATA SSD, NVIDIA RTX 2060, 15.6" Touch 4K UHD (3840x2160), WiFi, Bluetooth, Webcam, Win 10 Pro) (Renewed)

Imagine, if you already have the Zen Duo, and when you buy two attachable portable monitors. You'll now have more screens to use on the go. Just remember that you'll probably need to be near a PowerPoint as they'll probably eat up the juice pretty fast. 

To me, Asus has definitely found a way to fit in a second screen without making it too bulky, heavy, or ugly. Hey, two heads are better than one, and definitely having 1 and 1/2 screens is better than one too. I would really love to get my hands on this and see what it can do.
