It's been almost a month and I'm really happy with my iPad pro 10.5. The complete entertainment for surfing, researching, work, listening to music and of course gaming. Although, it would be really great, if I can pair my xbox one s controller to it.
I'm really hoping that games like diablo, left4dead and even starcraft be available for the iOS. The 10.5 and 12.9 inch iPad screen are really great for gaming. Right now they're using A10X Fusion chip, but there'll probably be an upgraded version with the faster A11X.
RealVnc, are a really useful software. It's really easy to access my raspberry pi on my pc, laptop and now on my iPad pro. The best part is, it's Free!
Raspberry pi are also a great mini computer too. Now, they have the latest and faster version, Raspberry pi 3 b+. You can install raspbian or other version of linux on it and use it as a computer or even build your own diy robot!
It's really fun to be able to switch between an iOS and raspbian on my iPad. I can learn and play with coding pythons or other languages with Raspbian and even test it out. I can also quickly switch to iOS after I'm done.
I thought, I try playing some steam games using the razer phone as my game controller. I used VNC viewer to link up my phone and pc. The game with the simplest controller I had was Kung Fury. It was a little hard to record with one hand and play the game with the other.
If you're wondering, for the moment, I'm using my nephew iPhone 6 as my main camera and video editing using iMovie. I've been using different version iPhone as my main camera and editing for a long time. It's easy and fast to upload.
I guess, beside using your phone as a mouse to control the pc, it can also be use as a game controller. Not, really a good one. But, might be useful anyhow. You can also control other things like your xbox one with your phone too. You need to download an xbox one app for the phone.
These days, you can do a whole of things via remote phone app. Make your entertainment a little easier to access and enjoy. From where you're at be it outside or inside the house. Having a smart house are not really common yet. But, it should be soon.
For best entertainment and gaming on the go, get the Razer phone!

The Razer Phone is a GSM-compatible unlocked phone (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and will not work with CDMA carriers (Verizon, Sprint, etc.). Android 8.1 included.
This is kinda out of topic but, I've been thinking of getting a macbook pro. Specifically, for garageband and iMovie. These are the only software that I'm used to using right now. I've tried looking for others for pc version but, it just doesn't feel as comfortable and easier to use.
I also want to get a good camera. I've been eyeing, the coolpix p900 or Canon powershot SX60. These two cameras might be a tad overkill for just recording simple unboxing video. But, I'm also interested in using it for sky watching.
I've watch videos of how powerful these cameras are for watching the moon etc. And, it's really amazing. I practically, have a good view of the sky at night from my apartment kitchen windows. There are some planes and maybe satellites that I want to check out.
I need to save up if, I want to get these stuff. If only, I can get some kind of sponsorship. :p

I'm having fun tinkering with raspberry pi 3 and the picamera. Watch my demo video!
If you also have an arduino, you can even use it combined with the pi. My picamera are connected to my raspberry pi while the servo are controlled by arduino. I've been googling and checking out sample python code and finally decided to try it out.
If you want to learn how to control the picamera using python then click here. For controlling, arduino servo using python, check out this site. Remember, to change the "ser.port = 'COM4'" to your own arduino port. This code include the "gui" controller. Pretty handy.
In my video, I used the arduino sample sweep motion code to let the camera move from 0 to 180 degrees both sides. This way, the camera can get a full picture of my room. If you used it as a security camera, you can even get a full view of your front house. A cheap diy security camera!
You can code the picamera to take video or picture. Can even use sensor that will activate the camera if there's movement around or inside your house. But, I haven't learn that part yet. If you use ssh, you can even watch the video stream on your phone. I've been using VNC viewer to access my pi.
I'm really into learning python now. Playing with raspberry pi and even arduino have helped in applying what I have learned. A couple month back (last year), I downloaded the free python software, but I didn't know head or tail and how to use it.
Now, I've learned enough to build my own smart car robot. I even thought, it'll be hard but, it was actually fun. Of course, in the new year, I want to learn more. I still haven't build my own quadcopter yet. Just need to get the parts. I've also been looking at other products like the BBC Micro:Bit.
Looks like fun to learn using micropython and javascripts block. You can even build a smart robot with it. But you'll need a motor shield for it. You might want to check out the products offering by Kitronik. BBC Micro:Bit currently are very popular in the U.K!
I'll definitely get myself a beaglebone blue. It's for my quadcopter project. A little troublesome, because they don't have any drone kit to go with the beaglebone blue. I'm still looking around for anything I like. If only, I get a sponsor. There're so many things, I want to try out. :p
From color-coding to advanced programming, this smart and social robot will have kids exploring the imaginative side of robotics while connecting with friends through OzoChat.
