Hey Apple Where Is My iPad Mini With M1 Chip And Better Camera?


2019 Apple iPad Mini (Wi-Fi + Cellular, 64GB) - Space Gray

Hey guys,

Check it out!

If you have been reading my blog post, you know I like mini laptops or tablets. My latest favorite mini Android gaming console is the Powkiddy X18. You can get the GPD XD Plus which have better specs here on Amazon. Its portability is what I like most.

Since the X18 is using Android O.S, besides gaming, I can also use it as a mini-tablet. I can surf the net, watch youtube videos, checking emails, etc. In fact, it actually reminds me of my New Nintendo 3DS XL. Only, better. Although, I wish it has a camera for making video calls on it.

  • 7.9-inch Retina Display with True Tone and wide Color A12 
  • Bionic chip 
  • Touch ID fingerprint sensor 
  • 8MP back camera, 7MP FaceTime HD front camera 
  • Stereo speakers
Apple has already announced its new iPad with M1 chips. They have also improved the camera. This is definitely great because I've been using my iPad Pro 10.5 inch to take videos, pictures, and create background music for my youtube channel.

One reason, I like using the iPad is because of the FREE iMovie and GarageBand apps that come with it. No other company that I know of that actually offers those essential apps. I'll be sticking with Apple products for some time yet.

It's kinda weird that Apple hasn't updated their 2019 version of the iPad mini. All the other iPads now have the M1 chips. So, what happened to the iPad mini? Imagine an iPad mini with the power of the M1 chips and a better camera. 

For one thing, it won't be awkwardly big when I'm using it to take videos and pictures. I can easily put it on a stand or hold it with one hand which I usually do sometimes. It'll also be great to be used with a smart or Apple magic keyboard.

I really like the design of the Apple Magic Keyboard which now comes with a touchpad. They certainly took their time to allow us to use a mouse on the iPad. Now, it looks like a laptop. It's the flexibility to use it as you like. That's what the customer wants. The freedom of choice. 

The magic keyboard will fit nicely with the new iPad mini. I always use a keyboard when I'm editing my videos. Which is definitely much better than typing on the touchscreen. If I don't need it, I just use my iPad as a tablet. Flexibility, my friend.

Anyway, hope Apple is actually working on an iPad mini with the M1 chips. It'll be the most powerful mini-tablet out there. Right now, there actually isn't any. I have a 7-inch Android tablet which I don't use because the battery sucks and it's kinda slow. I can't use it for my work.

Like I've said, as a Youtuber, a portable iPad mini with an M1 chip with a better camera would be great for my usage.

Apple Finally Makes My Dream iPad Pro in 2021!


2020 Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 128GB) - Silver (4th Generation)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Well, I've been hoping for Apple to bring the M1 chip to the iPad products and they finally did. Last year, when they announce the new M1 chip for their new laptop, I was pretty impressed. But, as a Youtuber who uses an iPad to record, edit and upload my videos, I was hoping it'll also be available for the iPad. Finally!

Read up my thoughts on the M1 Chip here. I also post about the iPad Mini here. But, there weren't any new updates for it today. An M1 Chip on an iPad Mini would make it the ultimate 7-inch portable mini laptop. At least, it's much smaller and portable than a 12.9 inch iPad. Especially, if you're gonna use it for taking videos and pictures on the go.



2020 Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 128GB) - Silver (4th Generation)

I used to use my iPhone to take videos for my Youtube channel. But, because of the stupid 'notch', I have switched to now a Samsung Note 10+. But, my first choice for taking videos is with my iPad pro 10.5 inches. First, the camera is not bad, and second, I love using the iMovie and Garage Band apps!

The latest iPad pro 12.9 inches with the M1 chip would definitely be my ultimate video-making device. And, if they have the new iPad mini with the M1 chip, would be my ultimate, on the go, portable gaming, and entertainment device.



Playstation DualSense Wireless Controller

The iPad Pro is now also finally compatible with the latest console controller. Yes, now you can use the PS5 or Xbox X series controller to play games on your iPad. Of course, the games need to have controller support in the first place. 

It was only over two years+ ago that I bought the SteelSeries Nimbus controller to play games on my iPad. You can watch and read up on my unboxing here. The controller is pretty good. But, not many games have controller support back then. There weren't many good racing, fighting, or RPG games.

Thinking back, it took Apple this long to finally make everything compatible with popular products like the Xbox and Playstation controller. They insist on touch only or gyro for gaming is commendable but if you want to attract console or pc gamers to your platform, you have to follow the flow, not against it.

Of course, Steve Jobs is always thinking of fighting against the flow. Yes, most of the products are not really that revolutionary like the mouse or the iPhones. But, he makes people think beyond the simple mouse. Beyond the simple computer. He literally makes electronic device becomes mainstream and more popular.

Whatever. I'm really hoping they put the M1 Chip into a new full touchscreen iPad mini. Be it 7 or 8 inches. Add a smart or magic Apple keyboard and voila! A cool powerful mini laptop. I hope they also add more stuff for me to use in the iMovie app. 

I've been using the FREE iMovie app to edit my youtube videos for so long, that's part of the reason, I'm using an iPad or an iPhone. If they FFS, gave the iPhone a full screen without the notch, I might even give up my Samsung phone and buy the iPhone.

By the way, I'm also hoping that they'll make a foldable iPhone in the future. You never know. Once, the Samsung foldable phone becomes more popular and cheaper, Apple might finally follow the flow and make one themselves. Yup, you read it first here. Just like my other product predictions!

Imagine using the foldable iPhone like err.. phone and then open it up and use it as an iPad! Like I've said, as a Youtuber, this would be useful. I like taking videos and pictures on my phone. And, then open it up to edit with the iMovie app. I can even use my own music created with Garage Band as background music. One can only dreamzzz...

Samsung Note 10+ Vs Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max - Asphalt 9 gameplay and quick look


Samsung Electronics Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone, US Version, 128GB of Storage, Mobile Gaming Smartphone, Long-Lasting Battery, Mystic Bronze

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My niece came over to my house yesterday and she let me play with her new iPhone 12 Pro Max which she got a couple of weeks back. I remember checking out several versions of the new iPhones at the Apple Store when she was purchasing her Apple Watch. I actually had a good first impression of the design.

Yes, the new iPhone design looks like a retro iPhone 4. Actually, looks good and shiny. But, again, once you saw the notch, you're like wtf Apple? They're too arrogant to follow what Samsung managed to do. A full-screen phone even though there's a tiny punch hole for the front camera.

What I also like is that Samsung is brave enough to create the Z Fold 2. They kinda failed with the Z Fold 1 but improved on it, base on feedback. You really have to applaud them on that. It's the same with Nintendo. I've actually been giving feedback to them on the Nintendo Switch and Switch lite.

Nintendo, like to ask their customers for opinions and feedback. They'll send out an email asking for opinions on games or any of their products. What can be improved and what we'll like to add to the service they already provided.

Apple meanwhile is stuck with the same design for like over 15 years? iPhone 3G was my first iPhone and my last iPhone was the iPhone 8+. After that, although they have improved the camera and the bionic chips, they're still using the same old design.

While Samsung and other companies like LG are thinking of the advancement of the 2-in-1 phablet. Apple went back to their iPhone 4 tech. I get it, that some people actually love the design and the size of the much smaller phone. It's definitely easy on the pockets (size and weight).

I loved my iPhone 8 plus back then. Because it was my main camera for my youtube channel. I also love using the free video editing app, iMovie. It has a good camera, easy to edit with iMovie, and fast to upload to my channel. 

I don't even need a computer. All I need was my iPhone. Of course, I then decided to sell my iPhone 8 plus and get the Razer gaming phone. But, I quickly switch to the Samsung S10+ and then to my current phone the Samsung Note 10+.



New Apple iPad Air (10.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 64GB) - Space Gray (Latest Model, 4th Generation)

What I like and still using though is Apple iPad Pro 10.5. I'm thinking of upgrading but hoping there'll be one with an M1 chip version. At the Apple store, I also check out the latest Apple Macbook with the M1 chips. And, it's pretty awesome.

I wish the iPad have the same camera as the iPhone. Since I've sold my iPhone, my iPad Pro is my main camera and video editing device. It's actually much better editing on an iPad since the screen is much bigger, obviously. 

I also use my Samsung Note 10+ sometimes for content creation but the iMovie app is not available on Android devices. Lucky for me, I found the Quik app that doesn't have advertisements or the stupid watermark on your every video.

There are definitely pros and cons to both the Samsung and Apple mobile devices. It really depends on your preferences and usage. My niece loves her iPhones like I used to. But, now I love my Samsung phones more. And, I'm sticking to it, for now.

CES 2021 ASUS ROG Flow X13 Compact is the New Impact


Newest Asus ROG Zephyrus M15 15.6" FHD 240Hz IPS Premium Gaming Laptop, 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H, 16GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q 8GB GDDR6, RGB Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10

Hey guys,

Check it out!

In CES 2021, ASUS ROG announced among others the Flow X13 gaming laptop. There is also an external GPU for it called XG Mobile. Just like the Razer Blade Stealth. Although, the ASUS external GPU is much smaller and portable. They even have a special messenger bag for it. Pretty nifty.

Unlike the Razer Blade Stealth though, the Flow X13 is a 2-in-1 laptop. You can flip the screen and use it as a tablet. That means it also has a touchscreen. I used to love small laptops. The smaller the better. 
It's because of the portability.

I bought my Alienware M14x because it was one of the smallest laptops available back then, besides the M11x. Which they stop production before I could get my hand on one. It also has a cool black design and I love running my hands over it.

Nowadays, there are many good gaming laptops but it really depends on your preferences and budgets. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't really like out of the world design. For example, I got the chance to look at the latest Macbook with an M1 chip and it's really light with a nice cool design.

If I had the money, I would have got the ROG Zephyrus G14" gaming laptop. It has one of those sleek, zen-like design. I also like the Anime matrix. Asus ROG also announced the latest Zephyrus G14 with the latest design and new AMD Ryzen 9 and Nvidia GTX 3060 GPU specs.

Bro, the only thing you need is to sell one of your kidneys and you'll get the laptop of your dream with the highest specs possible. The last laptop I bought before my current HP was my Acer Spin 1 with Intel N4200 and HD 505. It's a 2-in-1 laptop which I never actually used.

I couldn't even afford the G14 with specs from the last 3 years. But, now the latest specs for 2021 are pretty mind-blowing. AMD is really ramping it up these past few years. I have tried Intel, AMD, and Nvidia graphic cards, and re-playing some old games becomes more satisfying.

Since I've got the HP 15.6 inch screen laptop, I now realized the kind of laptop and features that I like or good for me. First off, the 15.6-inch screen is much better for my poor eyesight. Yup, no more small laptop for me. One thing for sure is that they have become much slimmer and lighter.

Now, I also love the fingerprint feature. I don't like them at first because they don't really work well. But again, my HP laptop happens to have one and I begin to like it so much. It's even better than my Samsung Note 10+ sensor. By the way, my next post might be about the latest Samsung S21!

I also like the laptop webcam. I'm starting to use it to video-call, my family. It's weird that some of the Asus ROG laptops are omitting them. Especially, in this pandemic. The speakers are also getting louder and clearer. Won't need a headphone unless I'm disturbing others sleep. Lol.

I haven't yet check out Razer CES 2021, so stay tuned for any new updates on their latest products. The ASUS Flow X13 has really shown how technology has become smaller and lighter. I even wonder if Nintendo can create something with the latest powerful AMD mobile technology or even with the Exynos 2100 mobile chip? 

Pretty Interesting for the future of tech!

A Better Design and Powerful Apple iPad Mini


Apple iPad Mini (Wi-Fi + Cellular, 256GB) - Silver (Latest Model)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I have an iPad Pro 10.5 inches. Been using it for well over 2 years. Especially, for taking unboxing videos, editing with iMovie, and even creating my own music with Garageband. I'm really satisfied with this product. Although, I'm thinking of upgrading to the latest version.

This got me thinking though. I have always liked small laptops. Especially, for portability's sake. The best mini laptop is around the 7-inch screen size form. Of course, as a gamer, I also want something that's also good for gaming.



Apple iPad Mini (Wi-Fi + Cellular, 256GB) - Silver (Latest Model)

I remembered the Apple iPad Mini and went to check it out. Frankly, I hadn't check for any updates for a long time. When I look at the specs, it actually has the A12 Bionic chip. But the camera is only 8MP. They really need to update the specs.

The camera is pretty important to me because I need it for taking good quality videos for my youtube channel. With latest A14 or even the M1 chip on an iPad mini will totally blow the tablet market away. Normally, I'll use my phone if I'm taking pictures or videos when I'm outside.



New Apple iPad Air (10.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 256GB) - Silver (Latest Model, 4th Generation)

An iPad mini would not make me look awkward if I chose to use it to take pictures or video. So, it's still on the portability side. That's why I want a better camera for the iPad mini. Also with the more powerful laptop-level chip, I can easily and quickly edit it using my favorite video editor, iMovie.

Don't forget that the iPad also comes with the Garageband app. Which is also Free. You can make a piece of simple background music for the video. Only, I'm always having a problem transferring the music file from Garageband to iMovie. 



ZAGG Rugged Book - Durable Case and Bluetooth Keyboard for Apple iPad Mini 5 (7.9") - Charcoal

Like I've said, I used my iPad for most of my videos on my Youtube channel. And, a keyboard is useful too. But, they have to be detachable. As I won't be able to put them on my iPad holder on my tripod. There you go, a mini iPad turned into a mini powerful laptop.

They also need to go away with the fingerprint sensor button. Update, with a full-screen touch tablet. Hopefully, there won't be a notch. Apple needs to swallow its pride and go full screen with a punch-hole for the camera. 



SteelSeries Nimbus Bluetooth Mobile Gaming Controller - iPhone, iPad, Apple TV - 40+ Hour Battery Life - Mfi Certified - Supports Fortnite Mobile

I bought a game controller for my iPad pro a year or two ago. I don't know what's the deal is with the new Apple gaming offer. I'm not interested in any kind of subscription. I'll rather pay for games that I actually want to buy and play. Especially, without needing internet access.

Game streaming is cool and all that but what if you can't access any wifi while you're out and about? I want my game to be download and installed so I can play it anytime and anywhere. Just like my Nintendo Switch lite. Would even be better if it's triple-A games.

Hopefully, I'll get my wish. Especially, if they can actually fit an M1 Chip inside the iPad mini. And, don't forget that camera Apple. I need a good one for taking videos and pictures. It'll be my perfect portable work, social media, and the entertainment system.
