I love my smk25II! The Alchemist Choir / Smk25II / Garageband #mvave #smk25ii #garageband


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

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love my M-VAVE SMK-25 II MIDI keyboard. I've been dabbling with it and testing many compatible DAW software. I prefer Apple GarageBand which comes free with an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook. Luckily, I have all of them. I should have bought a MIDI keyboard earlier.

I have dabbled with garageband before but having a MIDI keyboard is much better. I have always wanted to learn to play the piano, that's part of the reason I bought the MIDI keyboard. I bought the 25 keys version but for learning to play the piano, it's better to buy one with 61 and above keys.

I want to buy a synthesizer keyboard and have my eyes on the Yamaha Modx6+. It's a 61-key synthesizer keyboard. I love the type of sound you can get from it. I was checking out both the Korg Kross 2 and Yamaha CK61. After listening to the Modx6+ demo, I loved it! 

I like the synthesizer keyboard because there are so many sounds available that you can dabble with. Playing with the smk25ii and discovering new sounds makes me wanna have a synthesizer keyboard. I don't know why I didn't think to get a MIDI keyboard.


I used to play the guitar. I was interested in music and playing guitar back in the 80s rock. I self-taught myself enough to play at the school concert with my own band. It was such a fun time. But, I stopped playing after high school, and later on couldn't play anymore because of numbness.

I don't know why my hands go numb when holding stuff. It'll go numb even when I'm holding a newspaper. I will always have problems when holding the xbox controller. Besides going numb when playing the guitar, my fingers will hurt too. Click here to have a listen to my old playing guitar.


I used to buy many instrumental guitar music albums. Almost all of them are on cassettes. I regret giving it all to my friend. Especially, when I discovered you can buy a cassette player on Ali Express. Anyway, I've already stopped listening to them for a long time now. 

I've always found synthesizer music to be interesting. Since I bought the smk-25 II, I have become more interested in learning about them. I found learning to play the piano also helps me improve my ability to make synth-based music. I'm concentrating on learning simple piano chords first. 


This is funny to me as I've been typing on the computer keyboard for a long time and I think it kinda helps me to play the piano. Sometimes, I'll play web-based piano using the keyboard keys.  That's why I pick up fast and helps me learn. I also learned from bits and pieces via the YouTube videos.

As I've said in my other post. My ultimate goal is to be able to create my own background music for my YouTube videos. It's more fun and also allows us to avoid copyright claims. Unlike the past of the wild wild internet days, everyone accuses you of copyrights.

I have one copyright claim from someone even though I create my music using Apple garageband. I can't even fight for it on TikTok because I'll have to call a lawyer. A few years ago, someone claimed my moon video was theirs. Luckily, I'm able to counter as I have the original video. Idiota!

My mom bought a Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5 #xiaomi #robotvacuum #robotvacuumcleaner


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

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My mom had always wanted to buy a robot vacuum. She finally did after seeing one on a deal. She told me to set it up and see how it works. She got a Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5. I like the design. Simplicity at its best. I had a problem with the iPhone app version though.

Luckily, I also have a Samsung Zflip 5 Android phone. I downloaded and quickly connected the robot vacuum to my phone. You need to download the Xiaomi Home app and follow the app instructions. It will ask you to choose the vacuum version and press both the arrow and the power button to link.

It was relatively quick and easy. It is also easy to maintain. At first, I thought, you had to unscrew to open the dust collector. You just need to press open the bin button and clear it all. I know it works because there was so much dust in it. 

For the price, I'm really impressed with the robot vacuum. It is surprisingly strong too. It literally pushed everything that could be moved. The chairs, doors, flower pots, portable aircon and even felled my bicycle inside my room.


You need to be sure nothing will get stuck to the robot broom rotator. Even if it did, a notice is sent to the phone. The app needs to be updated. Use the app to schedule the dates and times. You can also manually control it. Cool!

The robot vacuum reminds me of my Raspberry Pi car robot. You can build your own and even code it to run manually or automatically using Python code. This robot vacuum doesn't have a camera so you won't know where it's going. Will be good if it has.


I wish the robot could map the house and show its location in the phone app. You can hear the motor running but it's not as loud as a normal vacuum cleaner. It will work as long as the battery lasts and returns to its docking charger. If you want to, you can instruct it to dock.

The battery would last over five hours. I live in a small apartment building and it takes a long time to vacuum every section of the house. That doesn't include the time it got stuck. I'm not in a hurry for it to finish. It does a pretty good job.

I've had it for a few days now and I like it. It does the job. Sometimes, you need to sweep away that little rubbish it pushed from under the tables, chairs, or cabinet. I just remembered the part where you can pour water into the mop holder.   

I also added a floor detergent. If your house is too dusty, you can run it to vacuum the floor first before adding the mop part. Since the robot had cleaned the whole house, I let it vacuum and mop. Now, I feel satisfied that the robot helps maintain the house floor. 

In the future, who knows I'll be able to get a robot to clean the whole house!

rain rain go away come again another day | iPhone 13 #rain #rainsounds #rainyday


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

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The other day, I saw a guy on YouTube talking about using an iPhone as their main camera, instead of buying expensive cameras and lenses for photography and videography. I commented that I've been using several iterations of the iPhone to do that!

I've talked about it on my blog years ago. Since I couldn't afford a camera, using my iPhone was the next best thing. Sometimes, I'd even use my iPad. In fact, using the iPad is much better as the screen is much bigger for editing. 

I discovered earlier that the iPhone camera is quite good. I use it mostly for my unboxing videos. I prefer bigger storage spaces. The most important thing was the free editing app available on the iPhone, the iMovie. I love the iMovie app.

Sure, there are many other good so-called 'free' apps. But, they sometimes come with watermarks and are worse now with the trial version. Which really sucks. They used to be totally free. I used to enjoy using the GoPro free app. Now, I don't use them.


I also have a Samsung Android phone. Sometimes, I use it for photography and videography. Now, you can use Google or Samsung free video editing software. They're good, too, and free. But, iMovie is still the main driver for me. 

In the early days, my iPhone used to stop working in the middle of my editing like my computer constantly froze. I'd have to redo it again unless I had saved it. It was really exasperating. My computer wasn't the high-end type. 


I didn't know it back then but if you want to do heavy video editing, you should get a high-end gaming PC or laptop. They usually offer the best CPU and GPU. The minimum is 16GB of Rams. I'm using my gaming PC right now. That is my main daily driver.

My PC seldom hangs when I use it for video editing. It has 16GB of RAM and has it for over 5 years. Think of upgrading to the latest available. I don't use it for video editing now as I'm running out of storage. Currently, I'm using my Apple Macbook Pro M1 Pro. 


The Apple MacBook is good. But, it's damn expensive. I took a plunge as I wanted a good laptop for video editing. As always, it has the iMovie for video editing. That's one of the reasons I decided to get a Mac. I have the 16GB version but if I had the extra dough, I would have chosen with more rams.

The MacBook Pro laptop was useful when I brought it along on vacation. I edited my photos and videos when we returned to our Airbnb house. I didn't have to wait to return home. Check out these videos which I took using my Nikon Zfc and edited on my Mac.

I've been making videos for my YouTube channel for years. There are over 1000 videos. I wasn't into YouTube in the early days. I just upload random stuff. It was only later on that I began to do unboxing videos and learn about video editing etc. 

Oh yes, the rain has finally stopped!

I bought an iphone 13 phone case with 36 classic retro gameboy games #iphone13 #phonecase


WeLohas Gameboy Case for iPhone 13/13 Pro, Handheld Retro 168 Classic Games, Color Video Display Game Case for iPhone, Anti-Scratch Shockproof Phone Cover Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

It would be cool to have a phone case that also functions as a retro gaming console. I love retro games like Arkanoid or Galaga and have them in many forms. So, why not in a mobile phone case form? I searched around, and they do sell them. Cool!

I asked my colleagues which phone case color would be nice for my iPhone 13, and they said red. And it's really nice. It fits snuggly on my Apple iPhone 13 and feels kind of nice to hold. Yes, you can also feel the buttons. I find myself fiddling with the buttons when I hold the phone.

WeLohas Gameboy Case for iPhone 13/13 Pro, Handheld Retro 168 Classic Games, Color Video Display Game Case for iPhone, Anti-Scratch Shockproof Phone Cover Red

I bought a case that has 36 retro games. There are others that offer more. I usually just stick to playing my favorite retro game. Oh, the case isn't only available for the iPhone. They also have it for Samsung mobile. You can check them out here.

Having a retro gaming console case for your mobile is really fun. It has a separate battery charger. A Micro USB cable is included. I'm assuming it'll last as long as other portable gaming consoles. This means hours if not days of gaming. 

Samsung Galaxy S23 Case, Handheld Retro Game Console Samsung Phone Case, Playable 36 Video Games Protective Case for Galaxy S23 6.1"(Black)

The game console case will be upside down at the back because of the camera location. When you play the game, your phone should automatically go blank. This is to avoid opening any apps or whatever. As a case, it's really sturdy and strong. Though, I don't want to drop it.

The console charging port will be available at the top of your phone. Charging your phone and the console would not be a problem. For me, charging the phone is much more important and I can charge the case later using my desktop computer charging port.

Having a retro game console as a phone case will save you space and headaches. I also have a portable retro gaming console but am too lazy to bring it along when going to work or just out and about. Until today, it's just stuck in my drawer.

The retro game console is literally my phone case, I don't even have to think about it. Whenever I feel like playing retro games with REAL buttons, I'll just turn around my phone, power it on, and start gaming. The keywords here are the real gaming buttons. It could be better but real buttons nonetheless.

COCOBOLO Gameboy Phone Case for iPhone 15 Pro Max, 36 Retro Classic Video Games, Protective Cover Self-Powered, Christmas Birthday Gift (Green)

It is a cool idea to have a gaming console as a phone case. Making it as thin as possible would be better. And, better game controller buttons. If you have been reading my blog, you'll know that I always complain about mobile gaming not having a good controller.

Okay, back then it was the early days of mobile gaming. Now, there are plenty of good mobile game controllers. Most of them are big and bulky. The phone case looks like a phone until you turn it over. It even has its own screen for gaming. Cool!




Check out the pics above for my new retro game console iPhone 13 phone case. Cool!

I bought 2 new trail loop band straps and 3 hard casings for my apple watch ultra

Compatible with Apple Watch Ultra 49mm Hard PC Case Cover Resistant Impact Shockproof Protective All-Around Edge Protective PC Hard Bumper Cover Face for Apple Watch Ultra 49mm (9Pack)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I bought 2 more new trail loop bands and 3 hard casings with different colors for my apple watch ultra. I can't stop myself from buying these accessories. They have excellent design and although the ultra watch has an aerospace-grade titanium case doesn't hurt to extra protect it. lol!

Anyway, that's what is so great about the Apple watch. You can mix and match the band, and the casing and it'll look totally different. My friend even thought I had bought a new watch when I showed him my watch with a different band. Yup, I love this watch!



Compatible with Apple Watch Ultra 49mm Hard PC Case Cover Resistant Impact Shockproof Protective All-Around Edge Protective PC Hard Bumper Cover Face for Apple Watch Ultra 49mm (9Pack)

This is kind of weird but I even love playing with the watch without its band. I like taking it out of its band or casing and charging it. Take note some of the casing have problems charging. Just take it out. Also, even though it's good they protect the crown but kinda difficult if you're using it for gaming.

I very much prefer not to use the casing as the watch really looks nice by itself and doesn't block the charging or the crown. But, I'm a person for some reason have hands that like to knock on things. I broke my watch screen once and only been using it for a couple of days.



Haojavo 16 Pack Case for Apple Watch Series 8 & Series 7 41mm with Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Hard Ultra-Thin Scratch Resistant Bumper Protective Cover for iWatch 41mm Accessories(16 Colors)

Yes, I've knocked my Apple watch ultra all over the place and luckily it's still working fine. I even broke my tempered glass screen protector. Apparently, I've knocked my watch screen on something and only realized the crack when looking at it later on. You can see it here.

Thankfully, my apple watch ultra screen didn't even have a tint of scratch on it. Someone asked me if I have AppleCare+ when I bought the watch. I haven't activated it yet. Well, I'm the type that feels it's not necessary. I might regret it but, I'm not planning to stick to it long enough.



amBand Bands Case Screen Protector Compatible with Apple Watch Ultra 49mm, M1 Sport Series Rugged Cover Strap and 2 Pack Tempered Glass Film, Military Protective Bumper for iWatch 49 mm Men Black

I can't wait till the apple watch will work just like an iPhone. I mean with all the official apps working on the watch. Being able to read all my full emails, and visiting social media just by clicking the links. Right now, I kinda love using Microsoft Outlook on my watch.

Yes, I have Microsoft outlook on my PC but I almost never use it. I usually just check my emails on the browser. The Microsoft Outlook app on the apple watch looks professional and clean. I can't read the whole email but just the first part and can delete, dismiss or reply.

Wristcam, Smart Dual-Camera Band for Apple Watch (Apple MFi Certified), 8MP Sensor, Full HD Video/720P Sport Mode, (New) Pro. Image Stabilization, WiFi, BT 5, IP68 Water Resistant, Siri Integration

The wristcam band is an interesting product. It adds camera capabilities to your Apple watch. If you like the idea of just bringing your watch and keeping your iPhone at home then this will complete your setup. You can do video calls, and take selfies and pictures all on your wrist.

The fact that your 'iPhone' is on your wrist means you don't have to fumble to look for your phone if you want to take pictures or do quick video calls. No more bulky pockets with big-size phones. That's why I hope one day, we'll be able to just mirror or link our watch to a big screen monitor or Tv.

apple watch ultra gaming zombie overkill and mirroring on my iphone


Apple Watch Ultra GPS + Cellular, 49mm Titanium Case with Midnight Ocean Band with AppleCare+ (2 Years)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Playing games on my Apple Watch Ultra is surprisingly fun! Before I got the Ultra watch, I always wondered about the screen size and design. I wasn't a fan. But, I like that you can make calls or reply to messages via your watch. Another thing is the freaking price.

As I said in my last post. It's been over 8 years since the first Apple Watch came out and I finally decided to get the Apple watch ultra. The funny thing is, I didn't know about the watch until my nephew came over and showed it off to me. He told me to wait as the Ultra II might be coming out soon.



Apple Watch Ultra GPS + Cellular, 49mm Titanium Case with Midnight Ocean Band with AppleCare+ (2 Years)

Of course, I couldn't wait any longer. Anyway, I can always trade-in and get the latest. In the tech world today, your product will start to feel old by the second year. Heck, some even might want to change every 6 months or a year. Me, I like to try everything new.

I also said before that the Apple watch would be just like the iPhone but on your wrist. They need to make it happen. They need to come over the limitation of battery life, processor, graphics, and most importantly the cooling system. Especially, if you like gaming on the watch.



Apple Watch Series 8 [GPS + Cellular 45mm] Smartwatch w/ (PRODUCT)RED Aluminum Case w/ (PRODUCT)RED Sport Band-M/L. Fitness Tracker, Blood Oxygen & ECG Apps, Always-On Retina Display, Water Resistant

I'm hoping for a pinball game version for the Apple watch. There is one available but it's just a simple one. How bout a rally or street racing game? A simple fighting game or FPS with touch controls might work. I think Apple needs to see that the Apple watch can also be a viable mini-game console.

I think the Apple watch is great for quick-fix mini-games. I find myself enjoying playing some of the games already available for the watch. It's kinda cool and fun to use the watch crown as a physical controller. It actually works! And, the crown is bigger for the Ultra watch.



iPhone 13 Pro Max, 128GB, Sierra Blue - Unlocked (Renewed Premium)

I also just discovered that you can mirror your watch screen to your iPhone for a little bigger view. Wish it can be switched to a whole screen. You can go to settings > accessibility > Apple watch mirroring. Voila! Now you have two screens. You're welcome. :)

I haven't tried if you could mirror it to your iPad and MacBook too. Some will say why not just use your phone or other devices with bigger screens. Well, what if some of us don't have or bring along an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook? What if we want to just use our watch for work and for play?



Apple Watch Series 7 GPS + Cellular, 45mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - Regular (Renewed)

Since I got my Apple watch ultra, I prefer listening to music that's uploaded to my watch while working. I'll be able to scroll through the Album, artist, songs, etc. While listening to music, I can also quickly check my notifications for emails, news updates, etc.

It is certainly much more practical and faster to check or do everything with your watch since it's already on your wrist. A quick glance at your notifications update, a quick reply, a quick-fix game. Also, your boss will assume you're looking at the time. lol!

The future of the Apple Watch is certainly bright. Currently, needs more watch apps and games.

Hello Watch Ultra - Apple Watch clone unboxing


Original DT8 Ultra Smart Watch 49MM Series 8 Body Temperature Monitor NFC GPS Tracker Siri Game Bluetooth Call iwo Smartwatch (Orange)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love my Apple watch ultra! But, it could be more like the iPhone. For one thing, although, I can receive notifications of my emails, WhatsApp messages, and social media updates, I can't directly click the link to check them out. Which is a bummer.

In that sense, I might as well, just buy any cheap smartwatch that's available out there. You can easily access Facebook, Instagram, and youtube with third-party apps. What we want are official apps. I don't understand why Apple has to hide its safari browser, instead, we have to go through loops to use them.



Original DT8 Ultra Smart Watch 49MM Series 8 Body Temperature Monitor NFC GPS Tracker Siri Game Bluetooth Call iwo Smartwatch (Orange)

I know you can only do so much with a small watch screen. But, after owning the Apple watch ultra and using it for the past few weeks, I don't see why it can't be an iPhone or Android mobile phone replacement. But, they need to make available apps that are at least comparable to a mobile.

Nowadays, we can easily connect our mobile to a monitor or desktop PC and continue working or whatever. Why not the watch? What if someone email you a pdf file, wouldn't it be cool to click and read it on your watch? Later edit it on your mobile or computer when you have access to them.



SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch 5 40mm Bluetooth Smartwatch w/ Body, Health, Fitness, and Sleep Tracker, Improved Battery, Sapphire Crystal Glass, Enhanced GPS Tracking, US Version, Silver Bezel w/ Purple Band

I think an Android smartwatch, because of its OS relative freedom, can pretty much do anything and everything with it unlike the Apple watch OS. Apple is very slow in adapting and implementing things. They always wait for the competition to try new tech and see how it pans out. 

One thing I hate about the smartwatch is that it's marketed only for athletes or exercise maniacs. Like, they're the only ones who find a smartwatch useful. That's one of the reasons why I never thought of getting one. The first Apple watch that came out was around 8 years ago. Read iphone wiki.



Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS, 45mm) Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band, Regular (Renewed)

Yup. It took me 8 years to finally decide to get an Apple Watch. This is probably the right time as it is the most advanced watch I've ever worn. And, I'm still not satisfied. It's still not an iPhone on the wrist, yet. I'll be happy when I can do fckin everything on my watch, like on my iPhone.

What it means is that the tech is not there yet. The ultimate goal will be a mobile phone on your wrist. That has a good long battery, a camera for video calls and taking pictures. A good web browser without limitations. They have separate apps that work for mobile why not for the watch?



KOSPET MAX GPS Android Smartwatch with 4G LTE and 2.86-inch Touchscreen with Stainless Steel Body and Face Unlock Feature, Black

While working, I like being able to look for and start playing my favorite music on my watch. I like checking notifications and reading quick summaries of my emails. In replying to messages, surprisingly, the watch touch keyboard works well. I also like checking out calendars and reminders.

Siri is also pretty useful as you can ask anything instead of typing. It'll open up browsers and websites etc. I can watch youtube with third-apps parties. I haven't tried this on an android smartwatch but you can't connect a keyboard or mobile controller to an Apple watch (I've checked, and you can. Doesn't seem to work for me). Why?

Sigh. As I say, still a long way to it being a mobile phone replacement.

gaming on Apple Watch Ultra is fun - Neon Brick breaker


Apple Watch Ultra [GPS + Cellular 49mm] Smart Watch w/Rugged Titanium Case & Orange Alpine Loop Medium. Fitness Tracker, Precision GPS, Action Button, Extra-Long Battery Life, Brighter Retina Display

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

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm loving my Apple Watch Ultra! I've always thought of buying an Apple watch. But, didn't like the design. I like what the watch can do. I wasn't into exercising but since I started cycling to work, I find features like the heartbeat sensors and other fitness data useful and fun to know.

Features like making a call and replying to messages are also useful if you're working and don't want to take out your phone all the time. There are already many good sports watches like Garmin. But, I definitely prefer the Apple Watch Ultra.

Apple Watch Ultra [GPS + Cellular 49mm] Smart Watch w/Rugged Titanium Case & Orange Alpine Loop Medium. Fitness Tracker, Precision GPS, Action Button, Extra-Long Battery Life, Brighter Retina Display

I bought a Magene c406 bike computer and other sensors but now having the Apple Watch Ultra is much more hassle-less. I also prefer using the Apple Watch outdoor cycling app instead of Strava. I can scroll through the data on the watch or my iPhone 13 later.

The Strava app definitely has more features but you'll have to pay for them. Unless you're a pro athlete and can afford the monthly payment. I'm sticking with the Apple Watch app and loving the 'medals' achieved for every step I take while working. 

iPhone 13, 128GB, Blue - Unlocked (Renewed Premium)

The Apple Watch ultra crown is much bigger than the Apple Watch series. It's supposed to help those ultra-athletes when they're wearing gloves. Much easier to use as a game controller too. It's actually fun to play games on the Apple Watch.

There are many good mini quick-fix games available for the Apple watch. I used to hate mobile games because they don't have controller support. Read back some of my old blog posts. With the Apple watch though, I don't actually mind. In fact, I'm loving it!

Click here to check out the Apple Watch later charger stand on Amazon!

My favorite games are FPS and RPG. But, I also like simple games like pinball and brick breaker. I also like retro games. It'll definitely be way cool to be able to play my favorite retro brick breaker game Doh! on my Ultra watch. I'll love, some Zen pinball on my watch too.

The challenge is of course how to control the games. I haven't tried it yet to connect my xbox or any Bluetooth controller to the watch. Next, is to have games that have controller support. Voila! Put your watch on a stand with a charger and the game is on!

Click here for the latest Apple Watch accessories deals on Amazon!

There is a potential market for Apple or Android watch games for game dev. Especially, for indie game dev. I don't see any big companies creating quick-fix games for Apple Watch. Not sure for an Android watch though. 

FFS! Don't just create a game for the watch just for the sake of money. Because it's a watch, there's potential for interesting games for the Apple watch, using the crown as a controller. Of course, there's touch control. Hopefully, the game has controller support too. Why not!?

Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular, 44mm) - Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band (Renewed)

I'm willing to pay $0.99-$2 for each game. With all the bells and whistles, literally. I hate games that don't have sound effects. Where's the fun? Admittedly, not everyone is rich enough to buy an Apple Watch (renewed is cheaper) Series or Ultra just to play some quick-fix game. 

You have to remember that you're not just buying a watch. You're basically paying for a mini-computer or a mini iPhone. It's not as powerful or the same. Soon, everyone just needs a watch to video call, social media, work, listen to music, gaming, and much more!

Apple 14 inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro Chip unboxing


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

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Bought my first-ever Apple Macbook pro. I got the 14-inch Macbook pro with the M1 pro chip instead of the latest M2 chip. To tell the truth, if I had more money, I would have got the 16-inch version which is much better for my eyes.

Well, we can't have everything. The good thing is it's very portable. Still a tad heavy than my HP 15-inch laptop. I'm still learning to use a MacBook being a Windows user since the mid-90s. The main reason is actually the price and work.

It's not that I have never touched a Macbook. I remembered my ex-GF bought a MacBook that you can also boot to a windows system. That's probably the first time I've used a MacBook. Oh, I also bought a Macbook gold (unboxing video 2015) a couple years back which I sold later on.  

This is definitely the first time I bought and owned a MacBook Pro. That's why I'm so excited. Somebody commented on my youtube video that it's a non-event. Such a sour grape. It's not important anyway. What's important is that, so far, I'm really happy with it.

The user experience is definitely different. For starters, I'm used to hammering on my Razer gaming keyboard to type. This keyboard is rather shallow and springy. I guess it's meant for touch-typing. I have a problem with numbness in my hands while using it. 

Love the fingerprint sensor for quick access back into the system when you're away from the keyboard. Another cool thing is whenever you lift up the screen, it will automatically boot up. Wish I could use my fingerprint to log in but you still need to enter your password.

I wanted a MacBook Pro with the M1 pro or Max chip because I need a good laptop that can handle 4K videos. My HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 and 8GB ram seems to stutter a bit when I tried to edit my videos. Might have solved it if I upgraded to 16GB or more RAMS.

This 14-inch MacBook Pro comes with the M1 pro chip and 16GB ram. The Max seems to be better because I'm assuming more CPU and GPU cores. If you have the dough and working on 4K or higher resolution videos, go for as high specs as you can afford to future-proof it.

I'm almost at the end of this blog post and I'm getting better at using the keyboard and loving the clickable touchpad. I keep forgetting you need to press to click and not just 'touch'. It's really big and wide. I remember using it when I had the Macbook Gold and kinda miss it. 

A few new things I've never used before like the MagSafe magnetic charging is pretty cool. I'm already used to the USB C ports. Linking my iPhone 13 to the Mac and using whatsapp to chat or the Facetime camera. Really sharp. The customizable cool docking system and all the apps. 

The speakers is loud but I prefer using my Bluetooth earbuds better. Especially, as I'm partially deaf. I also like to play around with the terminal and coding simple python in it. I have an iPhone and iPad and if you've been using them, you'll be familiar with all the apps available.

In all, I'm really happy with my MacBook purchased and can't get enough of it!
