Hey guys,

Check it out!

My new ARMAGEDDON (website) gaming monitor and headphones finally arrived. The first time I've bought gaming products from them, although I think I've bought their backpack before. They have been around for quite some time.

I bought a new gaming monitor because my old Asus or Acer (couldn't remember) had burn marks on the screen. My old monitor was 24 inches I upgraded to a 27-inch. I believe I've had the old monitor for over five years. It's a good monitor.

I was on a budget. I decided on the Armageddon monitor when I saw it was on offer for $100+. Others offered below the $200 mark but I decided on Armageddon brand. That's why I also got the Armageddon brand headphones. 

Once in a while, I like to try out other brands to see if they're any good compared to others. Prices, design, and specs matter to me too. I like the company's logo. Too bad they didn't include any stickers with their products like Razer.

When I buy Razer products and get their stickers, I paste them everywhere. I think cool company stickers help create loyalty and also promote your company brands. So, Armageddon, you know what to do. Send me some stickers!

I love the Armageddon logo. It's a waste that they didn't include any stickers. I would also love it if they want to sponsor me (haha!). They have many latest products that you can check on their main website. I'm already thinking of maybe buying a new gaming PC from them.

My current gaming PC is from Aftershock (website). Check out my unboxing video here. Don't forget to like and share. I took a quick look at the video and realized, I've had this PC for seven years. And, it's still working fine. But, the hard disk died and I had to re-use the old laptop hard disk.

I'm upgrading to a bigger SSD for the main drive and adding more RAM or getting a new one. It's always good to update to the latest tech. Mine has been seven years. Even the Aftershock company has grown bigger. They have many new offerings and promo.

The tech has gotten bigger and better. You can get bigger SSD storage sizes. My PC had the GTX 1060 3GB back then. Now, it's the i9s and RTX 4090s. I still have my HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 7. Now, they already have Ryzen 9. 

HP has good laptops. I have people buying via my Amazon links. I also recommended my ex-colleague buy an upgraded version with more RAM and storage space. My recommended minimum is 16GB of RAM. I had a problem editing videos with just 8GB of RAM.

my MacBook Pro M1 Pro accessories installation and setup

Apple 2021 MacBook Pro (16-inch, M1 Pro chip with 10‑core CPU and 16‑core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Space Gray

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love my new Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro. I also like buying accessories for it. I've already got a 60% portable gaming keyboard and mouse. I bought from something other than expensive brands though. I prefer to get cheap China-made but still good to go. Also sometimes, I like their design more.

I just finished installing a screen and touchpad protector. Installing the screen protector on the mac was hard and slow. I have to make sure that it aligns with the camera. I hate the stubborn bubbles but I managed to clear them. Looking at the screen right now, I think it's worth the effort. Lol.



Apple 2021 MacBook Pro (16-inch, M1 Pro chip with 10‑core CPU and 16‑core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Space Gray

Yeah, I know. Are all this protection necessary? Who cares, I like buying stuff and accessories just for the heck of it. Does make me feel satisfied and in the long run, lessen the wear and tear effects. This is not my first laptop and if you're used to using one, you know what I'm talking about. 

Although, I have owned and used many laptops from different brand, using a Mac has a total different feeling to it. Especially, if you're not used to a Mac O.S. Yes, I have an iPad and using several version of iPhone but it's not really the same.



2021 Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, Apple M1 Pro chip with 8‑core CPU and 14‑core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Space Gray

For one thing, I keep going to the right end corner of an open window to close it when Apple prefers it on your left. And, when you want to access the menu, it's not on the window tab itself but at the top of the screen. Doesn't matter where you put that open window.

I like the dock though. While scrolling the aps icon will grow bigger. So, kinda cool playing with it. Almost all the apps that I frequently use are on the dock. Same, as on my PC or laptop. On the Mac, I have to remind myself that there's a 'Launchpad' where all the apps installed are.



Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac

I also have to remind myself that the 'Finder' is actually the file manager. I find the iCloud to be annoying. I want to find files that are on my laptop not in the cloud which are already filled. So, I can't use it anymore. I'll have to delete or pay to keep using the iCloud.

I don't really like using online storage although you can easily access your data on any devices that has access to them. The reason being, if you for any reason stop paying, you're fcked. I'll rather have all my stuff offline on my Mac, Pc or storage cards. 



Razer Huntsman Mini 60% Gaming Keyboard: Fast Keyboard Switches - Clicky Optical Switches - Chroma RGB Lighting - PBT Keycaps - Onboard Memory - Classic Black

I'm definitely getting used to using a MacBook. This is the second time I'm blogging on my Mac. Normally, I'll use my computer with three monitors all setup with different windows tab opened. Okay, this time round, I'm using an external 60% RGB gaming keyboard and mouse. 

One thing I noticed is that the battery last much longer than my HP AMD Ryzen 7 laptop. With my external keyboard and mouse connected, it'll suck up the battery pretty fast but I'm still at 70%. And, with my M1 pro chips it can play Dirt 4 smooth. It does get hots though. That's kinda normal.

Oh, I need to mention that my HP laptop only has 8GB ram. That's probably one of the reason why it stutters when playing some games and when doing my video editing. I used to say that 8GB ram is the minimum but nowadays, it's 16GB ram!

i bought nikkor z dx 50-250mm for my nikon z fc

NIKON NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact Long Telephoto Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally bought a Nikkor z dx 50-250mm for my new retro design Nikon Z fc camera. It fits and works really well. I have yet to really try out the lens as I'm just waiting for the holidays to go out and have fun taking pictures and videos with it.

Anyway, it's been raining heavily for the past few weeks. I got to try out the camera with the 28mm SE lens kit and I'm satisfied with the camera and the lens. It's pretty sharp and my first time using this kind of camera with a prime lens.



NIKON NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact Long Telephoto Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

I am a newbie photographer and love going cycling to nature parks and beaches to take photos with my camera. Yes, you can use your mobile phone to take photos which I do too. But, using a camera is a whole other level of fun!

It's a pretty expensive hobby though. But, I discovered third-party companies that sell good affordable lenses. Expensive lenses cost thousands of dollars which I can't afford. Unless you're a pro who earns money working full-time as a professional photographer.



NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) Lens

There is news of a Nikkor Z 40mm special edition for the Zfc. I might get that when it comes out maybe next year. Meanwhile, guess which lens I just ordered the other day and now waiting to arrive? It's the VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens! 

Yup! Can't wait for it to arrive probably next week and try it. Already plan to use it to take pictures and videos of the Xmas tree and decorations near my area. Most reviews and sample I see shows how wide it is. The video looks great and sharp too. 



VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens for Nikon Z50 Z30 Z6II Z7II Z6 Z7

Now, I pretty much have all the lenses that I like and wanted. One day, I hope to get my hands on the Sony a7rV camera. With its latest AI processing unit, 61MP, advanced AF, and even the LCD screen that can be set any which way you want. 

The Sony a7rV is the ultimate pro-level camera that I can't afford and also even though I"m not a professional photographer, I still want it. Lol. Well, I love tech and the camera capabilities really intrigue me. Also, it's good to learn something new. That's why I'm so into photography right now.



Apple MacBook Pro 14" with Liquid Retina XDR Display, M1 Max Chip with 10-Core CPU and 24-Core GPU, 32GB Memory, 512GB SSD, Space Gray, Late 2021

Frankly, I thought the Nikon Z Fc would be my last big purchase of the year 2022. Turn out, it's the Apple Macbook pro with an M1 pro chip. At first, I thought of getting the latest Macbook pro with an M2 chip. But, after doing some research, it's better I get the 14-inch with M1 Pro chip.

The main reason behind my choice was, I rather spend an extra couple hundred more to get the M1 pro chip. I need it to edit my photos and videos which I always shoot with 4K and sometimes RAW. I tried doing some video editing on my HP Ryzen 7 AMD with 8GB Ram laptop and it's not good enough!

I probably, need to upgrade my ram but everyone knows for video editing and photography, a MacBook pro is much better. And, the M1 pro seems to be much better than even the latest M2 chip which I'm not saying is not good. Well, hopefully, and praying to get it by next week. Till then, to-da-loo!

Hey guys,

Quick promo!

Sigh! If only I'm rich. I'm practically salivating at owning this Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo SE 15 ultimate gaming and even work laptop!

What I really love is the dual-screen. Frankly, at first, I thought this was a joke. But, after I've started using multiple monitors in my daily computer setup, I realized, it's actually pretty useful.

You can play games, watch youtube and use social media at the same time. I can blog, do research on Google, check my phone notifications, Whatsapp on the second screen just like my Pc setup. When I use my normal laptop, I actually miss this multiple-screen setup.

• ROG ScreenPad Plus: 14-inch secondary touchscreen display | Game, Stream, Create, and more!
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 with ROG Boost
• Latest 5th Gen AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX Processor (16M Cache, up to 4.5 GHz)
• 300Hz 3ms 15.6” Full HD 1920x1080 IPS-Type PANTONE Validated Display
• 32GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM | 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
• Comes with Windows 10 Professional and a FREE upgrade to Windows 11 (when available1)

The specs are another thing to marvel at. The design is pretty cool too. I'm a sucker for good design. No matter if it's a mobile phone, gaming console, or laptop. Design is at the top of my requirement list!

I'll love to test this laptop and see how good it really is. In the picture, it looks pretty big and heavy. You don't want it to just stick to your desktop. Especially, since it's a portable pc.

If you have the dough, definitely recommended going for it. I'll be freaking jealous if you do. Lol!

Apple iPhone 13 Design Still Sucks With Stupid Notch

SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone US Version Smartphone Tablet 2-in-1 Foldable Dual Screen Under Display Camera 256GB Storage, Phantom Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

First off, I'm only posting links to SAMSUNG mobile phone because for some reason Apple products seem to be always out of stock or unavailable on Amazon. I make affiliates money from promoting companies' products that are available. I'll appreciate it if you help me out by buying anything through my Amazon links. It helps support my blog and youtube channel. Domo arigato!

Anyway, I still hate the same Apple iPhone design with the stupid notch. Apparently, apple's fans still buy it even though, in their heart they hate it. Before you bash me thinking, I'm an Android or Samsung fan, I've owned iPhone 3G to my last iPhone 8. I switched to Samsung (again) when I saw the iPhone X. It's kinda irony because Apple makes me switch.



SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone US Version Smartphone Tablet 2-in-1 Foldable Dual Screen Under Display Camera 256GB Storage, Phantom Black

In the early days, I hated Android OS. When I couldn't get the iPhone 4, I decided to get the S3, or was it S4? I can't remember. I like the iPhone 7 and 8 and practically use them for making and editing my videos for my youtube channel. It's when I decided to switch to S10+ from my Razer gaming phone that I chose to get the iPad.

I like iMovie and GarageBand. I've been using it for decades. I'm still using it now because I like recording using my iPad pro 10.5 inches. I'm looking for upgrades to the latest iPad. I've talked about how I wish they have an iPad mini with better camera specs. And, now they improved it, especially with the new M3 chips.



Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G | SM-F916N 256GB | Factory Unlocked - Korean International Version (Mystic Bronze)

I've been wanting to get the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold phone since the first iteration. It's a damn cool concept. Especially, if you're like me a blogger and a Youtuber. You can use it like any other phone when it's closed but if you want a bigger screen, you just unfold it and voila, a tablet. If I can get this phone, I won't need an iPad anymore.

I'll be able to take videos and pictures and for a better view for editing, just unfold it. Sync my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and it'll be like a mini laptop. What's with Samsung Dex available. I love Samsung Dex. It's much better to use it when you want to use it as a pc or laptop. Now, you don't need to bring along a separate laptop for work or for play.

Okay, I know, I've been talking more about Samsung phones than the iPhone. It's simply because Apple has really disappointed me. I once thought I'll never use another brand but here I am, talking about my favorite new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. I really applaud Samsung for being brave and even though the first Z Fold had many complaints, they actually listen and improved on it!

Meanwhile, Apple is still sticking to being safe and only did increments updates on their products. Granted, they have new faster chips and super-powerful phones and iPad but the design department is really disappointing. I took a look at my niece's iPhone 12 pro max and I'm like there's nothing that'll make me buy this. By the way, take a look at my vid comparison of the Note 10+ and iPhone 12 here.



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

Did you know that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 comes with a new special stylus pen? I love using the stylus pen on my Note 10+. That's why I sold my S10+ for the Note. If you open up your Z Fold 3, you can use the stylus pen on the new screen. Use it to write, draw, and when editing pictures or videos. I don't know why Samsung doesn't market the Z Fold 3 for vloggers or YouTubers.

Well, if you don't care for all that, you can just get the iPhone 13. But, it's not available yet. I might promo it on my blog here if they're selling it. Drop by again on my blog or do a search on products that you might be interested in. Once again, I appreciate the support of buying products via my Amazon links. If I earned enough, I want to get the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Haha!

No matter what, these mobile phones have definitely become on par with laptops and Pc. Not necessarily on triple-A gaming. You can now work just by using your mobile phone. No more having to lugs around heavy laptops like the old days. Although, the laptops today have definitely getting slimmer and lighter. Have a look inside my HP AMD Ryzen laptop here.

Microsoft windows 11 Home edition on my HP AMD Ryzen 7 8GB Ram

HP Newest 17 Laptop Notebook, 17.3" FHD Anti-Glare Display, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (> i7-1065G7), 12GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Webcam, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, HDMI, Windows 10 Home, KKE Mousepad

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I always thought that my HP AMD Ryzen 7 laptop with 8GB ram is good enough to install the latest Microsoft Windows 11. But, at first, I couldn't install it. Even though, I'm a windows insider. Most people can't too. I read that there are whole new specs that you need to adhere to.

I'm actually a little surprised and a little excited that when I check out my updates on my laptop, haven't been using it for a while, Windows 11 is ready to be installed. And, it didn't really take that long to install. Maybe, around half an hour.

My HP support software also automatically, updates the BIOS needed with the new Windows 11. Part of the reason, I like the HP laptop. As it's using AMD Radeon graphics, it also comes with the Radeon software. Which you can use to set the graphics for every game before you play.

I haven't tried playing any games yet. So, I'm not sure how smooth it'll be under Microsoft Windows 11. The version it states that I have is the Windows 11 Home edition. You'll know immediately when the aesthetics look different from Windows 10. 



HP - OMEN Gaming 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - 512GB SSD - Mica Silver

I must say, I really like the new clean design. Even the icons look nice and modern. Everything can be quickly accessed in one place. For example, I go into settings quite often, and having to look for an update section is a hassle. I'll always miss it.

In the new design, I can quickly click on the System and check out the latest windows updates. Pretty nifty. Now, you can even set the icons on the taskbar to the center but, I'm too used to it being set to the left. So, I left it there (get it?). I don't want everything to be shown to my face. Lol :p

On my HP laptop, everything is pretty well organized and optimized. I still haven't upgraded my 8GB Ram to 16GB. So, to see everything runs smoothly is a little assuring. Of course, I haven't test running heavy load yet. I always have a little problem when doing video editing.

I'll try video editing when I have a new photo-video project with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I don't have any plans to go anywhere yet. Been thinking of going to the city, especially for the night shots. Well, it's not as if I'm in a hurry. With the pandemic and all.

Luckily, I only got my HP laptop recently, and it can install the latest Microsoft Windows 11 Home edition. I read on the Microsoft Amazon store page that Windows 11 will be rolling out from now until 2022. You might want to check out if you can upgrade it via the Windows Insider.

You'll have to join their Windows Insider first. It's a way to try out new windows beta updates. It's done automatically, and all you have to do is chose the date and time to restart. I have always been interested in installing the latest Windows since the day, I bought my first PC in the mid-90s.

The tradition continues. Don't forget to check my windows 11 video here.

Someone asked my HP Pavilion AMD Ryzen 7 laptop version. Does it matter?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

In my HP laptop youtube unboxing video, I received a lot of questions about the product. I do expect questions about it. Some asked valid interesting questions, some just mundane stuff that they will know if only they had watched the video.

There's one idiot, that accused me of lying about my laptop having a fingerprint sensor when obviously he hadn't actually watch the part where I set up my laptop fingerprint security sensor. Yeah, you get lots of nonsense and dislikes from your viewers. Part of being a Youtuber.

The first thing is that I'm not officially sponsored by HP. Second, the HP laptop in the unboxing video is not mine. I recommended my friend to get it. He wanted either from HP or another company brand. Can't remember which right now.

My friend had a budget and I found one that's a little similar to my own HP laptop which I bought a couple months ago. Or was it last year? It's last year. Check out the unboxing video here. Anyway, I got mine during a sale price offer. Though, my friend's specs are much better.



HP Pavilion 15 Laptop: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, 512GB SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, Windows 10

My HP is not the Pavilion series. I'm not sure but it seems they don't sell it anymore. Can't find the laptop being sold anywhere. My friend actually wanted the Intel version but I told him to get the AMD Ryzen 7 but with the 4700U processor. Had to convince him it's better than Intel. Lol.

He got lucky in that instead of sending him the 512GB SSD they send him the 1TB SSD version. I would love the extra 512GB SSD storage. I'm only left with 100GB and with my new photography hobby, the pictures and videos are taking up space.

If I have the money, I'll want to try out the HP Omen gaming laptop. I game once in a while and that specs would make my video editing fly. My current laptop only has 8GB ram and it kind of stutters a bit when I do video editing. That's why I told my friend to get the 16GB Ram version.

He's not a gamer but the HP Pavilion AMD Ryzen 7 4700U comes with Radeon Vega 10 mobile graphics. It's good enough to play some triple-A games with lower resolution. I also told him with the specs, it'll probably last him 5-10 years.

Frankly, I don't know why people want to ask me about the version of the laptop that I've bought. If you want to buy a laptop, get the best specs with the budget you have. Doesn't even matter if it's HP or any other kind of brand. Ok, maybe because HP not sponsoring me. I'm still waiting, HP.

My dream gaming laptop is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with AMD Ryzen 9.  With a slight change in preferences. I'll prefer a 15.6-inch screen. I love the Anime matrix but maybe it sucks up the battery or something because seems like they're not selling it anymore.

I get it that some after seeing my laptop unboxing video, wanting something similar, but even the price won't be the same. There's this kid who keeps posting on several of my videos asking where he can get it. He should just get something similar like my friend did and maybe a chance to get a much better offer.

What do you guys think?

Valve announces Steam Deck - I'm sticking with my Switch lite

Nintendo Switch Lite - Blue

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My nephew suddenly msg me the other day and asked me if I have seen Steam Deck. I didn't know what it was and said I'm too busy to care. I decided to check what it's all about after I'm done with my work. Oh, it's a steam version of Nintendo Switch. I'm already seeing a youtube video headline for the death of the Nintendo Switch. lol :p

I think it's only available at the end of the year if I can remember correctly. Meanwhile, the new Nintendo Switch Oled will arrive in October. You can check it out on the Amazon link here. One thing for sure, it's much cheaper than a Steam Deck.

Looking at the Steam Deck design, the first thing you see is the weird placement of the control buttons and two pads located on both sides of the 7 inch LCD screen. There's nothing special about the trigger buttons. Looks the same as a Switch.

I wish they had proper triggers like an Xbox controller. Oh yeah, there are 4 special paddles behind the deck just like the elite Xbox controller. I'm assuming you can set it up to your own preferences. Other than that, physically it looks like and probably weighs the same as a Nintendo Switch.

"We partnered with AMD to create Steam Deck's custom APU, optimized for handheld gaming. It is a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 powerhouse, delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope." - Taken from Steam Deck official page.

Personally, I'm not surprised they're using AMD products. There's actually already something similar created by a Chinese company a couple of months back. AMD is probably going to win this portable gaming computer. I'm not totally sure how good Intel mobile graphics are.

How good will it play and for how long? I'm guessing maybe 2-3 hours of hardcore gaming. It's basically just like a gaming laptop. You can even use it as a laptop. Plugin your gaming keyboard and mouse, voila! You can also dock it to a big screen TV with your own compatible cables.

My Switch lite can't do that. What I worry about for the Steam Deck is when you start installing all the craps we always do on a laptop or PC and it will start to bog your system. If you like to tinker, it will be more than just a portable gaming console.

The Steam Deck is admittedly very interesting. As I've owned both the Nintendo Switch and Switch lite, I'm a little bias towards my current Switch lite. It's great for gaming, watching videos, and listening to music on youtube. That's basically what I do with it, every day.

If ever I'm getting the Steam Deck, I will probably tinker the heck out of it. Remember, it's basically a portable gaming pc. I can even use the integrated controller to control my raspberry pi car robot. I actually tried that before with my Powkiddy X18. Watch the video here.

Now, you can also control a car with the Nintendo Switch. The Mario Kart Live. I wonder if Nintendo had read my blog post about it. I've been wanting to use my Switch to be able to control my Raspberry pi. Months later, they come up with Mario Kart. Coincidence?

The Steam Deck is very much different than the Nintendo Switch and it caters to different types of gamers. If you're a PC/Steam gamer, you'll probably get it. If you're into Nintendo products or consoles, you'll probably stick with the Switch. 

Right now, I'm sticking with my favorite portable gaming console, the Switch lite. I've already loads of games in it. I don't really need to buy another portable gaming console. Yes, I've many Steam games too, that's why I'm not counting out getting it, maybe in the near future.

HP Pavilion laptop Amd RYZEN 7 4700u 16gb 1TB ssd Radeon graphic unboxing

HP 2021 Pavilion Laptop, 15.6" FHD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (>i7-10710U), 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Webcam, B&O Audio, WiFi 6, Bluetooth, Backlit Keyboard, Fingerprint, Numeric Keypad, Win 10 Home

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Well, finally the HP laptop that I recommended to my friend to get arrived. And, he actually ordered the 16GB Ram version. He told me he prefers the 8GB Ram and upgrades it later. But, I told him, it's such a hassle to open the bottom case and it might also void the warranty if any shit happens.

I think he also says that he prefers the 14" screen instead of the 15.6 inches. It's the same kind of thinking of trying to scrimp and save. I've been using the HP 15.6 screen size and I feel it's much better for my bad eyesight. Also, you'll get a full keyboard with a number pad.



HP Pavilion 15 Laptop: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, 512GB SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, Windows 10

• AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Processor (2.0 GHz base clock, up to 4.1 GHz max boost clock, 8 MB L3 cache, 8 cores)
• 15.6" diagonal, Full HD (1920 x 1080), IPS, micro-edge, BrightView Display
• 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive
• 16GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (2x8 GB), AMD Radeon Graphics
• Realtek RTL8822CE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 combo, Windows 10 Home

If your work involved calculations, that number pad will be pretty nifty. One thing is that the laptop version he got doesn't have the fingerprint sensor. Mine has and it's much faster to log in instead of having to type your password.

He will also appreciate the webcam for a video call with his family back at home in India. I like to link my Samsung Note 10+ to my laptop and use WhatsApp for messaging, voice msg/calls, and video calls. Since I'm on my computer all the time, I seldom need to check my phone.

The important thing is that it's within his budget. And, for the price, this is not a bad laptop. Yesterday, I tried transferring pictures and videos from my camera to my laptop and it was pretty smooth. I edited the video and upload it to my youtube channel.

My laptop only has 8GB of ram. It'll be much better with 16GB ram, like my friend's laptop. That's why I insisted that he get the 16GB of ram. Yeah, you might save if you upgrade it later but if you have the dough just pay for it and avoid the hassle later. Unless you're the tinkering type and know what you're doing.

For the moment there, I thought my friend wanted to upgrade the CPU aka the processor. I told him it's an integrated motherboard. It's a laptop, not a desktop. Turn out he was referring to his desktop ram. He wishes to upgrade from 6GB to 8GB ram. Lol.

Just to let you guys know, that not every Indian knows anything about computers. The joke about Indian IT guys is funny but India is pretty big and not everyone has the money to study or even own a computer. My Indian friend works as an electrician but he knows shit about computers.

To be clear, I'm no computer expert myself. I learned through self-learning since the mid-90s. That's when the computer world was booming. I just happened to finish my two years compulsory National Service (NS) in the military and got a job as a civil servant after that.

Lucky for me, I got to learn to use the computer and simply expand my knowledge from there. I even once got a job at an Apple factory. Can't remember which year but I didn't stay long. I was pretty impressed with their system video capabilities back then.

I really miss those fun days. Used to go out with my friends to the computer mall just to look around. That's how we spend our weekend. I haven't been there for a pretty long while since then. I don't even know if the building is still around. Last I heard, they're gonna tear it down to build a damn condo. 

Anyway, my friend will pick up his new laptop this weekend. Hope he enjoys it!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I told my friend to check out for any updates about his laptop purchased last weekend. Turn out, the order was canceled and his money refund by the seller. They also called to inform him about it. Apparently, they didn't have the stock for it.

Anyway, my friend told me to recommend another and I recommend him an upgraded version of the same HP laptop that I bought last year. It has almost the same specs as the laptop I'm using now. AMD Ryzen 7 4700U 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, and Radeon mobile graphics.

You can check out my HP laptop unboxing video here on my Youtube Channel. I only wish that I had the 16GB Ram. I can definitely upgrade but opening up the case is pretty 'scary'. You have to peel out the bottom case with something sharp and avoid pitting it.

You can watch the inside of the laptop here. I've posted about it before. I'm pretty surprised by how thin, and light the motherboard is. Of course, most of the parts are integrated. Thank goodness, I can upgrade the rams. That's why I advised my friend to just get the 16GB ram to avoid all the hassles.

My friend just told me that instead of getting the 16GB Ram version, he got the 8GB ram instead. He was thinking of upgrading it later and saving some money. I told him, that it's not worth the hassle. I've already told him how hard it is to peel open the bottom case cover.

The case might get pitted from the peeling tools and I feel as if it can break if you use too much force. Also, you might void the warranty if shits happen. I don't like opening up a new laptop and disfigured it. I'll rather wait maybe a year or two before opening it up.

Frankly, I'm surprised that HP design the bottom casing this way. If you look at other laptops, well, decades ago, I used to open up laptops to upgrade the ram or hard disk. And, it was pretty easy. All you need to do was just unscrewing the screws.

I don't know of any laptop that needs a peeling tool. I actually thought it would be easy. I had to search Google to see how to open up the case. I almost break the bottom case trying to force it open. Coincidentally, I had and used the tools that I bought to replace my DS lite casing.

It's gonna be a while before I'm opening the case again. Even with just 8GB of ram, my laptop still runs fine. Although, I feel it'll run much better with a 16GB ram. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with my HP laptop. Also, kinda weird that my unboxing video had a lot of viewers from India. :p

I think like me, they like the silver design. It has a backlit keyboard with a nice typing springy feeling. I put a silicone keyboard cover over it. My first time using a silicone cover feels a little weird, but I guess I'll get used to it. As long as it protects the keyboard from dust and spills.

Love the webcam that I used with Whatsapp to video-chat with my family. And, definitely love the fingerprint sensor. It's much faster for quick logging into the system. I didn't like the fingerprint sensor decades ago. They have definitely improved the technology.

My friend going to enjoy using the laptop I'm recommending to him. HP and AMD should pay me for recommending their products. It's the first time my friend actually using an AMD processor. He thoughts AMD was an Intel processor. Keep asking me if it's the 11th gen version. Lol.

As popular as AMD is right now with their latest products, people still are used to Intel and NVIDIA. Okay, non-gamer like my friend, might not know NVIDIA. But most gaming laptops use their graphics cards. The previous laptop I recommended to my friend had the MX330. 

Since he got this HP AMD laptop, it'll be his first experience using the Radeon integrated mobile graphics. Not bad for low-medium gaming.
