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 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 unboxing HD 1080p #zflip5

SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Flip 5 Cell Phone, Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone, 512GB, Compact, Foldable Design, One-Hand Control, Best Selfies, Full Cover Screen, US Version, 2023, Mint

Hey guys,

Check it out!

It has been a couple of weeks and only now, able to post and talk about the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 mobile phone. I expected to enjoy using the phone. At first, I was only interested in the Z Fold series. But, why not try the Z Flip5?

When folded, it's a little thick but, I love using the bigger cover screen. I can glance at the notifications and even reply to my WhatsApp messages. My favorite widgets were the calendar, weather, alarms, and WhatsApp. There are also maps, Netflix, and YouTube apps.

SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Flip 5 Cell Phone, Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone, 512GB, Compact, Foldable Design, One-Hand Control, Best Selfies, Full Cover Screen, US Version, 2023, Mint

I can't check out my FB, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and other social media on the cover screen. Instead, having to unfold the phone. Although, the cover screen is a little small and squarish. But, I like using the phone in that form.

When using WhatsApp, the keyboard takes up almost half of the space. Slide up to full mode or tap the person's image. A little hassle but I don't mind. Good when you want to quickly reply without unfolding the Zflip 5. People always ask me when I'm using it while folded.

You don't have to unfold the phone to use it. Yes, it's just like a laptop. Open half-way and it'll automatically let you use the bottom half like a laptop touchpad. Double-fingers to scroll through website pages. Use the cursor to click on links etc. Just like a mini laptop!

If you like playing retro games on your mobile phone, then playing on a Z Flip5 is like playing on a Gameboy Advance SP. Check out my video demo playing retro games on the Z Flip5. I also like the ability to take selfies or videos as you don't need to bring along a stand.

You can put your Z Flip5 any way you like and the screen will rotate. Put it on your table and use it like a clock or a calendar. All of these without having to unfold the phone. By the way, tap to use the voice message. Which is much easier!

One of my colleagues at work thought the Z Flip5 was a portable music player. I opened it up to show him it was a phone. My mom is also interested in getting one. She didn't care for it when I showed her the first time. But, after a while, she got intrigued by how small it was when folded. Lol.

Putting on a case will make it more bulky. Without casing, it's slippery. It's quite light and will make you keep checking your pocket if the phone is still there. The phone is also pretty slim. Obviously, or it will be too bulky when closed. 

When it's folded as someone noted, it's flat and with the case, you won't see any spaces in between. The power button is also a fingerprint sensor. Reminds me of my old obsolete Razer phone. The volume control is on the right. When folded you can use the main front camera for selfies.

You can also do WhatsApp video calls folded. Pretty nifty. All possible because of the bigger cover screen. Someone could build a similar form, a squarish phone. Yes, bigger is good. But, sometimes, you just want something smaller. Yes, no?

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo SE 15 Ultimate Gaming Laptop

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.

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.

beautiful evening sky view from my window - samsung note 10+ camera

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

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was so captivated by the beauty of the evening sky that I decided to take a video of it on my Samsung Note 10+. I check out the pro settings and I'm like whoa! You can do so many things to make your pictures, the way you want them to be seen.

In the end, I didn't change anything and just took the video as it is. Later on, I put the filter on when uploading to youtube. It makes the blue sky looks much darker but kinda fake. Maybe, I should have just left it be.

I've been using my Apple iPhone, iPad, and Samsung phone to take many pictures and videos for years. I even use it for my youtube channel. I've actually blogged about it before. The mobile phone camera has improved so much that you can take videos, edit and upload them right from your phone.

Several decades ago, you can't do all that. You need a good camera and a computer. My first few videos on my youtube channel were taken using my webcam. I'll then edit them or just upload as it is. My favorite software was Microsoft free Movie Maker. In fact, I'm still using it today!



DEPSTECH 4K Webcam, 2021 Autofocus Webcam with Microphone 8MP HD Web Camera with Sony Sensor, Privacy Cover and Tripod, Plug and Play USB Computer Streaming Webcam for Laptop PC/Video Call/Skype/Zoom

In the old days though, I don't have a high-end pc. I was still using old Pentium and probably 2 or 4Gb of rams. Can't remember exactly. The moviemaker will hang or crash. Sometimes, it won't even load. You can imagine how constantly frustrated I was trying to finish my video.

The worst part is when you have done your editing and you're about to save when suddenly your computer freeze. The only thing you can do is press ctrl+alt+delete or switch off and on the computer. And you wonder why pc users have anger management issues. Lol!

I can't remember which versions of the iPhone that I started using for my channel. Maybe, it's the iPhone 6, 7, or 8. I didn't like the iPhone X with the notch, so I decided to switch back to Samsung phones. My current phone is the Samsung Note 10+.

Yesterday, I was teaching a lady friend how she can make videos and upload them to her youtube channel. She thought that she'll need a laptop. I told her, nowadays, she can do everything right on her phone. I'm not sure what kind of phone she's using though.

I'm hoping to get the latest Samsung Z Fold 2 or 3 coming up soon? I like the 2 in 1 form factor. You can use it as a mobile phone and open it up to use as a tablet. If you're a Youtuber or blogger like me that will be pretty useful.

It'll be much easier to edit your videos or even post a blog with a bigger screen. Open it up, connect to your Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and you have a mini android computer setup. The best thing is that you can do it anytime and anywhere. Fewer items to bring along too!

For travel vloggers, would be lighter loads for them. If Samsung can improve on the camera and user interface (UI), the phone will be pretty popular amongst influencers. I've been hearing about Samsung's new Exynos 2200. That can be used on laptops and mobile phones. Imagine that on the latest Z Fold 3?

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.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Blue

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.

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Caden Camera Bag Backpack - unboxing

CADeN DSLR Camera Backpack Bag Waterproof Anti Theft with 15.6-inch Laptop Compartment, USB Charging Port, Tripod Holder, Rain Cover, Inner Case, Compatible for Sony Canon Nikon Olympus

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The other day, I've already got myself a camera shoulder bag. It was good. But, as I've said before, I prefer a backpack because of my slip disc. I've been eyeing the Caden bag backpack. I like that I can quickly access my camera from the side.

Another thing is that it also has a laptop compartment. The one I got supposedly is for the 14" laptop but, I still can slip in my HP 15.6-inch. A little tight. I only realize how small and compact the backpack is till I got it. I guess it's ok since I only use the Nikon Coolpix P950.

Unless you're a professional photo and videographer with all the lenses and even a drone, you'll definitely need a bigger bag. I also bought the backpack just in case, I'm going on holiday. I can bring my camera and my laptop for video editing and uploading while traveling.

I'm pretty eager to go on a holiday again. This time, I'll have my P950 with me. Before this, I only rely on my phone to take pictures and videos. Mobile phones nowadays have a better camera, and you can also quickly edit or upload it to your social media.

Then again, I remembered, I wished I had a camera with the zooming capability like the P900, P950, or the P1000. Now that I have the P950, it is really fun. I can zoom to the moon for closeup and even sailboats out at sea. The mic isn't that bad either. I keep forgetting about that.

I even tried zooming at a mountain and the airplane coming into land near the airport. I'm pretty amazed at how far it can zoom. But, there's a limit to the sharpness though. And, I'm still learning to use the camera. Still dabbling with the settings.

Most of the time, I only use auto-focus. Although, once in a while, I tried the manual. But, I'm having a problem with the manual because I have bad eyesight. I can't see the difference in the sharpness. That's why I rather just use the AF.

I do use the 'Scene' settings though. There are different settings for moon and bird watching. There's the landscape, dusk, and dawn. There's even for a self-portrait. I haven't got the chance to really test all of them out as I just got the camera.

I really like the Caden camera backpack and can't wait to go out, probably this Sunday. Last Sunday, I went to the beach, and even though it was drizzling lightly, I still managed to get several videos and pictures. This time around, I'm following a friend for a little hike.

You can check out the video and pictures I took with my P950 here. I also used my Samsung Note 10+ to take some pictures and videos too. Watch them here. The only difference would be the zooming capability. Just because, I have the P950, doesn't mean, I won't use my phone camera anymore.

The good thing is that now I have several ways to take pictures and videos. I love using my Apple iPad Pro 10.5 for mostly my unboxing videos, while my Nikon P950 and Samsung phone can be used to take pictures and videos while I'm outside. Of course, the P950 83x zoom will come in handy when it's needed.

And, all of them will fit nicely into my camera bag backpack!

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!
