I bought a new ARMAGEDDON 27-inch Gaming Monitor & Headphones #armageddon


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

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.

What do you guys think?

RTX 3080 Gaming Laptop Are Now Available in 2021!


ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2021) Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 165Hz IPS QHD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, Opti-Mechanical Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 Pro, G533QS-XS98Q

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've always been enamored by laptops. My first Pc was way back in 1995, I think. My first contact with a computer was in the 80s. It was on a military show. It has a black screen with green text. I pretty much hogged it till someone at the back cry out loud about it behind me.

For some reason, I felt really comfortable playing with a computer. It's like it was meant to be (cue heavenly music). After my military service, I got a job as a civil servant and had the chance to learn to use a computer. I learned pretty fast. Being young might have help.

I only really learned about a computer inside out once I got myself one. Yes, it was pretty expensive back then. I got one with an installment plan. After work, I'll always stop by a book store because they have a computer section.

I went there almost every day. Looking for something interesting that I can use on my computer. Like the latest games, music, and videos. They were still using windows 3.1 and every time Microsoft has the latest OS, I'll upgrade. Everything was new and shiny back then, miss the old days!

Later on, I began to look at laptops and itching to get one for myself. They're pretty expensive and with installments interest, it almost doubled the cost. But, I didn't really care. To be able to use a portable computer on the go was too enticing for me.

I didn't just get one, I'll use it for a while, sell it and get another latest brand and design. By the time I discovered Alienware, they're promoting the M11x. Couldn't get it but I managed to get the M14x. Yup, my first ever gaming laptop!



MSI GF75 Thin 10UE-069 17.3" 144Hz 3ms FHD Gaming Laptop Intel Core i7-10750H RTX3060 8GB 512GB NVMe SSD Win10

I definitely test and played the heck out of it. You can check out some of the gameplay and other laptops that I've owned on my channel. Of course, back then Youtube didn't exist, so some of the earlier laptops I got weren't recorded. I don't think the smartphone even exist back then.

Feeling old yet? Kids nowadays don't know how good they're having with techs right now. They got their pappy and mommy to buy for them the latest smartphones and laptops. But, one thing for sure. Even though they're still expensive the tech is much more advanced.

At CES 2021, a lot of companies announced their latest gaming laptops with the latest Nvidia RTX 30 series. Now, some of them are already available on their main website and other online stores like Amazon. Specs-wise, they're basically all the same and pretty much depends on laptop design and budgets.

Asus claims to use a new kind of liquid-metal cooling and fan system for all their 2021 gaming laptop. I'll like to see how good it is. One of the main problems with my Alienware gaming laptop back then was the thermal cooling system and loud fans.

Any of these laptops RTX 3080 laptop could do anything your throw at it. I don't mean just games. But the minimum ram will be 16GB. I read somewhere that DDR5 Rams will soon be available but I don't see it sold anywhere. Maybe, it's not ready yet. I think it's about time for the latest version.

My current gaming desktop specs which I bought a couple of years back has 16GB of Ram and GTX 1060 3GB. It still works great. I can record gameplay, edit it and upload it to my channel without any kind of hiccups. Not sure if it can play the latest games as I haven't bought any for a while now.

I'm just saying that nowadays, even if you buy a budget gaming laptop with a GTX graphics card it's already good enough. The worst is that you can just lower the resolution and set it to mid-high settings. My budget HP AMD Ryzen 7 laptop with Radeon RX Vega 10 can even play Dirt 4 but with lower resolutions and low-mid settings. Pretty cool!

Of course, if I have the money or sponsors, I'll want to try any of these RTX 3080 gaming laptops. Hopefully, some rich filthy company reading this post would want to sponsor me one. Yup, the itch is definitely still there. One last thing is that I suddenly wonder if next year, they'll come out with RTX 4000 series next?

Lenovo Legion 2021 Gaming Laptop Innovation


2021 Newest Lenovo Legion 7i Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD 144Hz Screen, Intel Core i7-10750H Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RGB Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10, KKE Bundle

Hey guys,

Check it out!

If you have been reading my blog, you'll know that laptop design is pretty important to me. Especially, a gaming laptop. There is one laptop that always catches my eyes but I'm not really sure what attracts me to it.

I used to work as an office building technician and there's one laptop brand that is pretty commonly used. Lenovo. Not really sure why everyone using them. Maybe, it's company-sponsored although it is touted as a business laptop.



2021 Newest Lenovo Legion 7i Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD 144Hz Screen, Intel Core i7-10750H Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RGB Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10, KKE Bundle

Most of the Lenovo laptops that were used are old. Some are still using Windows 7. Well, that was a couple of years back. Maybe, they have updated to the latest. The latest Lenovo laptop design is not that bad either. They're now slim and modern looking.

I was actually surprised when I found out later on that Lenovo actually has their own gaming laptop department. And, they look pretty good too. Nothing fancy, just nice black, straight business-like, sharp design. Wish, I could test how good they are at gaming though.

I'm considering getting a 2nd-hand Lenovo laptop and turn it into a Linux laptop. I don't know why I prefer Lenovo. They seem to be on better offer than the rest. Also, like I said, their business like design is very enticing to me. Especially, the recent version.

Lenovo has announced their new laptops with the latest Nvidia RTX 30 series and AMD Ryzen 5000. So, you might want to look out for that. If you want something affordable but still able to play the latest triple-A games, then anything latest than GTX is already pretty good.



Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) IPS Screen, AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Processor, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GTX 1660Ti, Windows 10, 82B1000AUS, Phantom Black

Lenovo is pretty much the Blackberry of the business world. To me personally. Their design and specs policy is mainly base on business usage. Blackberry, should have its own laptop and desktop department. Not sure why they only concentrate on mobile.

In any case, it's interesting that Lenovo decides to have their own gaming laptop and desktop. But, I'm not sure how popular it is with gamers. In fact, it's a brand I seldom heard or see people talk about. Even, I'm not sure if it's a brand I should look at when getting a gaming laptop.



2020 Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17.3" HD+ Laptop Computer, AMD Ryzen 7-3700U Processor, 12GB RAM, 1TB HDD+128GB SSD, AMD Radeon Vega 10 Graphics, Dolby Audio, HD Webcam, Windows 10, Grey, 32GB SnowBell USB Card

The Lenovo laptop specs above are almost the same as my HP AMD Ryzen 7. It even has the same Radeon RX Vega 10 integrated mobile graphics. My HP unboxing video is pretty popular. But, I'm not sure why it is. Although, it's probably the design.

That's why I keep saying, a product design is important. You should give a good first impression of your products. If at the onset, people don't like your design, it doesn't matter if your specs are way better and cheaper than the others.

I would definitely have got the G14 if I had the money. But, then again, the RTX 30 series and AMD 5000 gaming laptop will probably be available soon. Not all laptops are offering it right now. I guess they need to do design and testing before rolling it out.

Hopefully, I'll have enough money in the future to get one. Would be great if any of the companies would sponsor me their latest gaming laptop. I love laptops and had bought and use many brands throughout the years. 

The funny thing is, there's actually no company that I'm really a fan of. Well, I used to love Alienware. Not anymore. Nowadays, I'm more into the design than the specs. If you have the money, you'll want the latest and the best specs but, if you don't like me, the HP is good enough.

If you have the money, take a look at what Lenovo can offer. You might be surprised!

HP 15s Vs Asus Tuf FX505DT Gaming Laptop



Asus TUF Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 120Hz IPS Full HD, AMD Quad-Core Ryzen 5 3550H, 16GB DDR4 Mem, 512GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, RGB Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 + CUE Accessories

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I know, I've been posting a lot about my new HP 15s laptop, lately. The thing is, it's got a lot of views on my youtube channel and also a lot of questions about it and laptops in general. Sometimes, it's a bit irritating because their question shows, they never actually watch the whole video.

I don't pretend to be an expert or anything, but I've owned a couple of laptops and desktop since the mid-90s. I can't even remember what's the brand of my first desktop. It comes with windows 3.1 and costs more than a year's bonus. lol

Anyway, one of them asked me to 'research' which laptop should he buy, the Tuf FX505DDT, or my current HP 15s laptop. He wants to be able to play PUBG on high 60FPS. Also, going to use it for school to learn to program.  

For a guy, going to school to learn, I assumed, computer engineering or coding, it's kinda weird, he's asking me to do research for him. Especially, when it's pretty obvious, which laptop is better for gaming or for school.

I can play games on my AMD Ryzen 7, Radeon X Vega 10 laptop but, most of the triple AAA games, I tried playing can only play on low-medium settings. I've checked some of the Asus Tuf gaming laptops, and most of them have a GTX graphics card.

One thing for sure, they cost more than my Hp laptop. Not, everyone is into gaming so, for them, a laptop with my kind of specs will suit them. Also, if you have a certain budget, this is below $1k. I post an article yesterday about the Microsoft Surface Go laptop. And, it's almost the same price as my HP laptop. Only mine has better specs.

Asus, actually have a couple of interesting gaming laptop. There's one with an extra screen above the keyboard. At first, I thought that's weird and probably useless. But, after looking at it again, it might add extra screen space.

The reason, I've changed my mind about dual or even triple monitor on a laptop is after I started using my portable monitor as my desktop second screen. Being able to watch youtube or having a separate window for separate tasks is pretty useful.

If you want a high-end laptop, you have to be ready to pay the dough. With this kind of price, you definitely need a reason to buy and a return on investment. I can definitely see professional musicians, photographers, or artists using this. 

For the rest of us mere mortals, we can only dream. :p

2020 HP 15s-eq0142AU 15.6 FHD AMD Ryzen 7 Radeon VEGA10 update


2020 ASUS VivoBook 15 15.6" FHD Display Laptop Computer, AMD Ryzen 7-3700U, 12GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, AMD Radeon RX Vega 10, Webcam, HDMI, Windows 10, Silver + Lengendary Backpack & Mousepad

Hey guys

Check it out!

I'm using my HP 15s, AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon X Vega 10 graphic laptop right now and I just want to update about it. I'm not typing using the laptop keyboard but on my RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wireless 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. This keyboard is really compact and portable. Not, as clicky as my Razer Chroma but that actually depends on what type of switch you choose. Mine is Brown. But, I should have chosen Blue for a more authentic click sound.

I still love it though. I don't actually need to use this keyboard. But, I thought I'll try using it with my laptop. I do love the laptop keyboard as it actually feels good typing on it. Almost, as good as typing on my Razer keyboard. Yes, I'm going to compare every keyboard that I'm using with it. It's like a benchmark for what a good keyboard is or should be. Although, my preferences could be different than yours.

One important update about the laptop is that, at first, I thought the Radeon X VEGA 10 integrated graphic card suckz. When I tried playing Dirt 4, it lags terribly. Although, I realized later that the STEAM game original settings were for my Aftershock gaming pc. Which has a GTX 1060 and 16gb of rams. After a couple of system updates and dabbling with the AMD  Radeon Software, I can now play on custom Medium. Which is way better than the ultra-low settings.

Now, I know that the graphic is pretty good. I'm really happy with my purchase. What's more, I got this on a deal. I was actually, about to pay for it before finding out that they're going to reduce the price couple of days later. So, I decided to wait. But, if you have read my last few posts, I make the mistake of giving in to my emotion and thought I could get the Asus Zephyrus G14 on the cheap!



Lenovo ThinkPad E595 Laptop (AMD Ryzen 7 3700U 4-Core, 16GB RAM, 512GB SATA SSD, AMD Radeon RX Vega 10, 15.6" Full HD (1920x1080), WiFi, Bluetooth, Webcam, 2xUSB 3.1, Win 10 Pro) with USB3.0 Hub

I'm really surprised at how many people watch my video on this laptop. I thought people will be more interested in the latest Ryzen 9 laptops. Apparently, ryzen 7 is also still popular. Maybe, because it's much cheaper than the latter. Also, I think, people like the new silver color and the laptop backlit keyboard. It really looks slick and modern. Unlike, the usual crazy gaming out-of-the-world design.

The design is so minimal and kinda, Zen-like. Oh yeah, I kept forgetting to mention the fingerprint login sensor on the bottom side of the number pad. It works with minimum fuss. I actually, don't really care about security but login in by just putting my finger on the sensor is so fast, I'm actually loving it. They have definitely improved on this technology.

I received a lot of questions regarding the laptop. One guy asked me where they can get it. Well, they can go to HP or check out via my Amazon links. The one, I got was an offer from my local online store. So, if you're from other countries, you'll have to check out your local stores. Especially, if you're looking for special prices. The store that I bought has stopped offering discounts on it.

 Also, HP is not the only company that offers this kind of spec. You can see some of the other companies that also have laptops with different kinds of prices and specs. Really depends on your budgets and preferences. For me, I'll go for the highest specs that I can get from the budget I have. HP is not sponsoring me, so, I wouldn't care if you're buying from them.

If there's one laptop, I would recommend you to get (if you have the budget) is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop. I myself am dreaming of getting it. Especially, with the anime led lighting at the back. That is way pretty cool. But, alas, I ain't rich, and if only Asus wants to sponsor me. Asus, are you reading this?


Well, I guess, I'll just keep dreaming. In the meantime, I'll enjoy using this laptop for a while yet. Maybe, Asus will have the latest G15.6 version. Just like this laptop. I'm really digging this laptop size. I have always liked small laptops. The smaller the better. Because of the portability. But, after using this, I think this is just right. Not too big and not too small.
