Android 10 Smart Tablet As Replacement for Laptops?

Android 10.0 Tablet : MEBERRY 10" Ultra-Fast 4GB/RAM,64GB/ROM Tablets-8000mAh Battery-WiFi Support - Bluetooth Keyboard | Mouse | M7 Tablet Cover and More Include - Grey

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Lately, I've been playing with my 8-inch Android tablet again. Maybe, it's because I got a keyboard case for it last week. I've been wanting to get it for a while. Now, I'm using it as a laptop. An Android laptop. I think it's great for a simple basic task like watching youtube or checking and replying to emails.

I've been wondering why there isn't any huha about tablets anymore. Especially, an Android gaming tablet. I mean, a gaming tablet would have a much bigger screen than a 7-inch phablet. Granted, any bigger than a 7 inch would be kinda awkward to hold and game.

Some people actually think the Nintendo Switch screen is a little too big. That makes Nintendo create a much smaller screen Nintendo Switch lite. Well, maybe that's why I sold the 'big' Switch and got the Switch lite. It does have a slight difference in portability.

Actually, I don't really like Android games. Mostly because they don't have a controller or keyboard and mouse support. You can see for yourself on the Google Play store comments. Most gamers request controller support. I haven't seen anyone asking for keyboard and mouse support though.

If you've been reading my blog, you'll know I'm pretty much crazy about laptops. Especially, gaming laptops. Gaming laptops are so powerful, they can basically replace your desktop computer. Another thing I'm crazy about is the keyboard.

It's because of the keyboard that I got for my tablet that I begin to start using it again. Don't ask me why I'm so fascinated with a keyboard. Another thing is that I'm seeing a lot of new Android tablet that's getting a bump on their specs but still keeping the price down.

Frankly, if I have the money, I'll want to get myself the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. A little pricey than your low-end Android tablet. But, it has better cameras. Which is useful for making my youtube videos. I already have an iPad Pro 10.5 but sometimes, I'll need to use another backup device.

An iPad or a Tablet is pretty nifty because of its portability and flexibility. I can use it as a touchscreen tablet or add a keyboard and voila, turn it into a laptop. Also, I can put them on a tripod stand and take videos or pictures. Most of the time, they have better cameras than a laptop.

Yesterday, I finally decide to get a better tablet with the latest specs update. It comes with a keyboard bundle. The cool thing is that the keyboard includes a touchpad. That is something new I see in today's keyboard case. Of course, I'll be making an unboxing video, so look out for it on my channel.

I'm a little curious to try out the tablet if I can use it as a laptop. Meaning, I'll be opening up a lot of browser tabs, checking out social media at the same time like FB, Twitter, my blog, and watching youtube videos. It's a 10 inch with Android 10 OS, 5G, 8GB Ram, and 512GB Rom.

All that and it only cost around USD$160+. An affordable price for pretty good specs. That's why I said, I was curious about the real-world performance of this lap-tablet. I'll be trying out STEAM game streaming, Android games, and retro-gaming with Retroarch emulators.

If it passes all my personal usage testing, it might just replace my laptop. :)

SmileBASIC 3ds on Samsung Note 10+ with Citra NDS emulator - works with S PEN!

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love playing around with SmileBASIC 4 (Nintendo eShop). It's a great software to learn to code on the go. It's available for the Nintendo Switch. You can dock your Switch like a desktop computer and code away. The good thing is that it has mouse & keyboard support.

I didn't really know that there was a Smilebasic NDS (Nintendo eShop) version until much later. I think because it's only released in Japan and Europe or Australia. Although I already have a Nintendo Switch or rather Switch lite version. Sometimes, I felt like it'll be cool if I can play it on my computer.



Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Yesterday, I decided to look into my collections of NDS Roms to see if I actually downloaded the software before. Nope. As usual, Google is your friend. So, I did a quick search and actually found a website that has the Smilebasic for NDS.

I thought the rom will automatically work with Retroarch. Apparently, you need to download the Citra NDS emulator. You also need to decrypt the software before able to play it. I'm not sure if I can share it, that's why I'm not linking directly. You can easily find more information via Google search.

I tried it out on my computer and was really excited to play an NDS version of smilebasic. The NDS version is actually a little different than the latest SmileBASIC 4. I've noticed it when I was searching around to learn how to code on my Switch lite.

It's a little funny to me that I learned to code on SmileBASIC 4 before on the NDS version. Which is more updated. But, in spite of that, I still managed to get used to the latter version. That's when I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I can play it on the go on my Samsung Note plus?

I did a quick search on the Google play store and found an Android version of the Citra NDS emulator. Download it, find my smilebasic 3ds file on my phone and load it. The software load pretty quickly without any problem. You can imagine how ecstatic I was that it actually works.

I was already wondering if I can use my Note 10+ S Pen with the smilebasic software. It'll be just like playing on my 3DS. If you're thinking of course it'll work, not really. There are some or mostly retro NDS games that don't work with an S Pen. I've tried it. Although, now I'll want to test it again.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition, Gray - UK Version

Well, I spend the night playing with the smilebasic 3ds and also checking out what the Citra NDS emulator features are. I think it's still in beta mode. You can view the smilebasic horizontally or vertically. You can hide the on-screen controller inlay, resize it or change the layout. 

One thing though, unlike SmileBASIC4, you can't use it with a mouse and keyboard. I haven't tried out any other NDS games on it. Can't seem to find my MicroSD card location. I discovered just now that the emulator eats a lot of my resources. My device assistant pop up and advice me to kill it. 



Nintendo New 2DS XL - Black + Turquoise

I thought that I've closed the program after playing with it. Seems like as long as you don't close it, it'll run and eat up your phone resources without you knowing it. Maybe, that's why the smilebasic software suddenly went blank on me at one time.

I'm still not sure why the smilebasic 3ds won't open in Retroarch. The Citra emulator is available on the PC version but I can't find it on the android version. I also tried using a different NDS emulator but they don't work. Seems like it only works with Citra.

For now, I'm just happy that I can play around with smilebasic for 3ds on my Note 10+. It's also a plus that I can use my S Pen with it. Since I've played around with SmileBASIC4 on my Switch lite, I won't have a problem with the slight differences. If only there's a smilebasic for Android gaming!

Turn Mini PC Windows 10 Pro Into Entertainment and Retro Gaming Console

Mini PC Windows 10 Pro, Beelink J45 Intel Apollo Lake J4205 Processor 8GB / 512GB M.2 SSD, Supports 2.5'' HDD & SSD/4K/Dual HDMI/Dual WiFi/Gigabit Ethernet/Fan

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love playing retro games. Although, as a child growing up, I only get to play games at the arcade after school and playing the neighbor gaming console. Frankly, I can't remember much but I do remember getting fed up at Contra and blisters on my thumbs.

My parents were divorced when I was around nine. Together with my mom and little sis, we moved around a lot. We were living in a rented room until finally, we got our own house. Gaming was far from my mind with school and having to join the military.

I got a job as a civil servant and started to learn to use a computer. During breaks, my colleague would play old retro games on their PC which was saved on a diskette. I've always loved the computer since I first saw it in a military trade show when I was a kid.



Sony Playstation 1 COMPLETE System Console PS1 PSX (Renewed)

I got my own computer with Windows 3.1 and later upgrade to windows 95. I continued to learn and play games on my PC. When I got my bonus pay, I spend it all on the new Sony Playstation. I had earlier tried it out at one of my colleague's home. Pretty impressed with the 3D game graphics then.

I actually got the modified version of the PS1. That means I could buy cheap copy games for like 3 for $10. My little nephew loved playing games on it. He would come into my room and asked me if he could play. Sometimes, he'll get stuck and asked me for help. Now, he's all grown up and the one that teaches me to play the latest game. lol.

Anyway, a few years back I discovered RetroArch and how to play retro games on your PC or Raspberry pi. It was like heaven. Now, I can play all the old retro games that I either have played or never got the chance to play before.

Nowadays, retro gaming is the norm. You can buy any retro gaming console that is out there right now. You can also DIY. There are many cheap computers available that you can turn into an entertainment and retro gaming system for your home.

If you're looking for a good computer to turn into an entertainment and retro gaming system, this mini PC windows 10 pro would be great. I especially like the small box size. It won't look out of place beside your big-screen 4K TV.

You can link up the system via Bluetooth to your speakers to listen to your favorite music via Spotify or to your controller to start playing retro games. Remember, this is a windows PC so, you can also download apps like Netflix to watch movies.

I like to use Kodi for watching movies. The two most important software or apps that I always download is Kodi and Retroarch. If you want to learn how to watch free movies, click here to visit this website. Use Ivacy VPN for Kodi.

A mini windows 10 PC is a really great entertainment and retro gaming system for the living room. And, of course, you can also use it like any other PC. Get a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to check and reply to your emails quickly, watch youtube and surf websites right on your couch.

If you have a Samsung phone like my Note 10+, you can even mirror it via Microsoft your app or Samsung Dex. You'll need an adapter to connect your phone to the TV and be able to share your photos, check phone notifications, play android games and even video call with Whatsapp.

Pretty cool. What you guys think?

Blackberry Classic in 2019 WhatsApp and RetroArch retro gaming!

BlackBerry Classic Q20 SQC100-2 16GB AT&T 4G LTE Physical Keyboard Smartphone - Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I just got myself a Blackberry Classic yesterday and as always I wanted to install every important app on my phone. I wasn't sure if Whatsapp is available for BB OS10 as I'm out of the loop for blackberry phone for a long while.

I check out Blackberry World and the app that was supposed to be free turned out not free. I was willing to pay but find it a hassle. So, I googled and discovered that I could install the android .apk version. It didn't work out for some reason.

This morning, I tried searching again and found a website that has the .apk files. I downloaded it on my phone and install. It finally works! I test message my family and it works as it would on an android phone. It felt good typing on the keyboard too.

Next, is, of course, retro gaming and I'll need to install RetroArch on my BB. You'll need to go to the Android section and click F-Droid. From there go click the link to the libretro. Find the latest, in this case, is 1.8.1 apk. Download and install!

If you already have your retro games inside your MicroSD card, insert it to your phone and start gaming on your Blackberry Classic. Remember, I only tried this on my Classic. Not sure if it'll work with others. I guess, it should work if you have the latest BB OS 10.

Get the Blackberry Classic here!

I'm still trying to install Kodi on my BB Classic. I tried downloading the latest and it won't install. I'll try looking for an older version. Maybe, that would work. These 3 apps are practically the holy grail for me. Whenever I get my hand on a new phone, tablet or pc, I'll install them.

It's pretty fun to search and try to look for a solution. Thank goodness, you can find help via Google. There are many blogs, tech sites that you can learn from. And, the good thing is that no matter how long it's been, they'll always be there for you!

We should all give thanks to the good work the internet has done for us all!

Razer Phone 3 Cancelled and Razer Phone Fail?

Razer Phone 2 (New): Unlocked Gaming Smartphone – 120Hz QHD Display – Snapdragon 845 – Wireless Charging – Chroma – 8GB RAM - 64GB - Mirror Black Finish

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The first time, I heard the news about Razer's phone 3 being canceled was from my colleague at work. I didn't really understand what he was talking about 'till I read the news. It's just a rumor but apparently, there was a leak on staff being laid off and phone division closed down.

I was really, surprised. Here, I am, still using the first-gen phone and Razer phone 2 just came out last year.  Now they're even offering it off $150. What's the deal? Why Razer why? We need their C.E.O @minliangtan to come out and tell us the truth!

The first time, I got the phone, it felt nice to the touch and loved the blackberry-ish design. It was thin, got two great speakers, and 120 GHz for gaming. Although, I had a problem during the first setup and subsequently while using it. I blame it on android though. Not, really a fan.

Once, I discovered that the Microsoft app I was using, that was causing the hangup. I deleted it and returned to the stock theme. The phone does, hangup once in awhile. I still blame android for it. Other, then that, the phone is pretty solid. Too bad, I just bought the first-gen. I'd love to own the 2nd.

Like, I've said. I'm still surprised they're going to close down their phone project. Aren't they making money off it? Not, doing as well as we thought? Maybe, they realized by now, how difficult the phone market is. Hey, even Nokia lost its market share!

I thought they would continue to improve on their phone. Longer, battery lives with a better camera, especially for night picture taking and video recording. The first-gen was pretty bad. It made me miss my iPhone. But, there are things that I can do with it that you can't with an iPhone.

For starters, I can download retroarch and play retro games. I can pair it with my Bluetooth Xbox one s controller, keyboard, and mouse. I can also download Kodi to watch movies, listen to music, and even watch live tv shows.

Since it's using USB C for charging, I can even use a dongle to connect with my wired keyboard and mouse. Using, it likes a mini android computer device. That's why, I thought, Razer might create their own tablet. Razer, android gaming tablet?

Well, I'm not sure, what's Razer top brass are thinking and planning next. If they're really closing down their phone division, it'll be a bummer. Gamers, can't say, they have a dedicated gaming phone anymore. I wonder, what's the other company that created their own gaming phone will do now?

If you're thinking of getting the Razer Phone 2, they're offering off $150 till 28th Feb. So, don't miss out. It might be the last razer gaming phone available!

Click here to get $150 off the Razer Phone 2! (offer expired)

Don't miss out!

It's a pretty cool android phone!

Kodi and Retroarch app on my iPad pro 10.5!

Apple iPad Pro 10.5 Inch 256GB Silver (WiFi Only, Mid 2017) MPF02LL/A

Hey guys,

Check it out!

After searching around on Google, I finally found out how I can sideload two of my favorite apps!

I can't completely enjoy my entertainment devices, unless I can install both Kodi and Retroarch on it. With Kodi, you can watch movies, live tv and other shows. While with Retroarch, you can play all the retro games you want!

The apps aren't officially available on Apple store. That's why you have to find it elsewhere and sideload it to your apple devices. If you're also interested to install both of this apps, you can read up on the instructions below. Pretty easy as a pie!

Thanks to the guys that make these possible!

How to install Kodi and Retroarch on IOS 11?

1. Download Syncios IOS and Android File manager - Click here!
2. Download Cydia Impactor for sideloading apple .ipa file - Click here!
3. Download the latest Kodi .ipa file for iOS 11 (Article and instructions) - Click here!
4. Download the latest Retroarch .ipa file for iOS 11 ( Forum with updates and instructions ) - Click here!
5. To be able to sideload the .ipa file via cydia impactor, you'll need a one time random generated password to install the app. Sign-in to https://appleid.apple.com/ and you'll see inside your account page how to get it. It's better that way then using your main password. For every app, they'll create different random password!

Read up and follow the instructions via the articles and forum before you attempt to sideload the apps. You'll understand why you had to go through loops to install it the first time. It took me awhile to make sense of the procedure and error.

Goto Apple id to get random password for each app install.

For installing the apps to my iPad pro, the Syncios file manager supposed to be able to do that. But, it didn't work for me. That's why I decided to try cydia impactor route. It took me awhile to download my games rom to my iPad as I didn't know which folder to put it.

Click the 'eye' icon beside the Retroarch app to add new folder for your game roms.

I discovered that, I should have click the 'eye' icon beside the retroarch app and then create a new folder for the roms. Which would be easier for me to access. I tried to play a few games and it actually work!

Now, my iPad pro are really the best portable entertainment system!

The GPD win 2, comes with windows 10. Obviously, it does all of the above better than my 3ds xl. That's why I like it. It can play all of my favorite retro games with Retroarch installed. And, also probably, all of my Steam games.
