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?

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.

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.

HP 15.6 Inch FHD Touchscreen Laptop AMD Ryzen 7 4700U 16GB 512GB


HP 15.6 Inch FHD Touchscreen Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (8-Core) Processor, 16GB, 512GB, Backlit Keyboard, 15-eh0015cl

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I told my friend to check out for any updates about his laptop purchased last weekend. Turn out, the order was canceled and his money refund by the seller. They also called to inform him about it. Apparently, they didn't have the stock for it.

Anyway, my friend told me to recommend another and I recommend him an upgraded version of the same HP laptop that I bought last year. It has almost the same specs as the laptop I'm using now. AMD Ryzen 7 4700U 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, and Radeon mobile graphics.



HP 15.6 Inch FHD Touchscreen Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (8-Core) Processor, 16GB, 512GB, Backlit Keyboard, 15-eh0015cl

You can check out my HP laptop unboxing video here on my Youtube Channel. I only wish that I had the 16GB Ram. I can definitely upgrade but opening up the case is pretty 'scary'. You have to peel out the bottom case with something sharp and avoid pitting it.

You can watch the inside of the laptop here. I've posted about it before. I'm pretty surprised by how thin, and light the motherboard is. Of course, most of the parts are integrated. Thank goodness, I can upgrade the rams. That's why I advised my friend to just get the 16GB ram to avoid all the hassles.



HP - Envy x360 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Nightfall Black

My friend just told me that instead of getting the 16GB Ram version, he got the 8GB ram instead. He was thinking of upgrading it later and saving some money. I told him, that it's not worth the hassle. I've already told him how hard it is to peel open the bottom case cover.

The case might get pitted from the peeling tools and I feel as if it can break if you use too much force. Also, you might void the warranty if shits happen. I don't like opening up a new laptop and disfigured it. I'll rather wait maybe a year or two before opening it up.

Frankly, I'm surprised that HP design the bottom casing this way. If you look at other laptops, well, decades ago, I used to open up laptops to upgrade the ram or hard disk. And, it was pretty easy. All you need to do was just unscrewing the screws.

I don't know of any laptop that needs a peeling tool. I actually thought it would be easy. I had to search Google to see how to open up the case. I almost break the bottom case trying to force it open. Coincidentally, I had and used the tools that I bought to replace my DS lite casing.

It's gonna be a while before I'm opening the case again. Even with just 8GB of ram, my laptop still runs fine. Although, I feel it'll run much better with a 16GB ram. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with my HP laptop. Also, kinda weird that my unboxing video had a lot of viewers from India. :p

I think like me, they like the silver design. It has a backlit keyboard with a nice typing springy feeling. I put a silicone keyboard cover over it. My first time using a silicone cover feels a little weird, but I guess I'll get used to it. As long as it protects the keyboard from dust and spills.

Love the webcam that I used with Whatsapp to video-chat with my family. And, definitely love the fingerprint sensor. It's much faster for quick logging into the system. I didn't like the fingerprint sensor decades ago. They have definitely improved the technology.

My friend going to enjoy using the laptop I'm recommending to him. HP and AMD should pay me for recommending their products. It's the first time my friend actually using an AMD processor. He thoughts AMD was an Intel processor. Keep asking me if it's the 11th gen version. Lol.

As popular as AMD is right now with their latest products, people still are used to Intel and NVIDIA. Okay, non-gamer like my friend, might not know NVIDIA. But most gaming laptops use their graphics cards. The previous laptop I recommended to my friend had the MX330. 

Since he got this HP AMD laptop, it'll be his first experience using the Radeon integrated mobile graphics. Not bad for low-medium gaming.

My Friend Asked Me To Recommend Laptop Below USD$980 Budget


2021 Newest Dell G5 Gaming Laptop,15.6'' FHD 144Hz Display, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q, 64GB DDR4 RAM, 2TB PCIe SSD, Webcam, HDMI, WiFi, Backlit Keyboard, Win10 Home

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, late yesterday night, my ex-colleague Whatsapp me, requesting advice on getting a new laptop. I thought he was joking at first as he's asked me before about re-selling my laptops to him. He already has a budget and brand in mind but not sure about the specs.

I asked him a couple of questions like does he likes to game, and what's the main purpose of the laptop. He says, he's not interested in gaming and anyway, good gaming laptops are way over his budget. He showed me a Dell laptop that he was currently looking at.



2021 Newest Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3501 Laptop, 15.6" FHD Display with Webcam, 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 Quad-Core Processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, HDMI, Wi-Fi, Windows 10 Home, Black

I told him I got my HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 7, Radeon Vega 10 mobile graphics, 8GB ram, webcam, fingerprint sensor, and 512GB SSD. All within the price of USD$670+. Which was coincidentally on a special sale price. I had to wait for the actual sale day to purchase it.

Of course, the price went up to around $800 after that. Last I checked, it was sold out. If my friend had asked me and the offer is still on, I would have recommended him that. The problem with getting a laptop you really want is that the specs and design vary between them.

The Dell laptop that my friend showed me he's looking at only has 14". I told him to get the 15.6" instead for better viewing pleasure. I'm wearing specs, I find the 15" screen is much better for my eyes. Also, it meant I would have a full keyboard with number pads.

After looking around some of the laptops, I found a Dell laptop that suits his budget and usage. It's 15.6 inches, has a webcam (assuming by the pictures), 512GB SSD, i5-1135G7 (supposedly better than i7-1165G7), MX330 Graphics, Windows 10 Pro, and 3 Year Warranty. Price of around USD$905.

The good thing is that the laptop already has 16GB ram, so he doesn't have to think about upgrading. He did say wanted more storage but I told him, why wouldn't 512GB be enough? Unless he's gaming, take a lot of videos and pictures. Anyway, it's much better to back up to an external drive.

I told him the MX330 would at least allow him to play some games on low-medium. Although he insists he's not gonna game. I replied even then, it might help if he's doing video editing. For example, my gaming desktop with GTX 1060 3GB and 16GB ram does makes my video editing smooth and doesn't lag.

I remember using my old Pentium pc to do video editing back in the days and it used to crash a lot. Sometimes, Microsoft Movie Maker software won't even start. Even my HP laptop had a bit of a problem when I wanted to edit video gameplay. That's why I'm thinking of upgrading from the 8GB of stock rams.

The important thing is that it fits within his budget and the laptop could last him for about 5-10 years, maybe. My Acer Spin Pentium N4200 that I bought around March 2017 is still in pretty good shape. I can even play some old games like Diablo II. Although, I had to upgrade the ram from 4 to 8GB.

It does lag once in a while. That's why I'm not using it for heavy stuff like video editing. I mostly use it for retro gaming, backing up important files, and of course for entertainment like youtube. It's actually a 2-in-1 laptop but it's too heavy to be used as a tablet. That's why I prefer a detachable keyboard laptop.

Anyway, pretty much left it up to my bro now. Lol.

My Friend Ask Me To Recommend Laptop for His Children Usage


New Precision 7550 AI-Ready Data Science Workstations Laptop 10th Gen i9-10885H 8 Core 5.30 GHz vPro 15.6" UHD Non-Touch Quadro RTX 5000 16GB Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 5G LTE (12TB SSD|128GB RAM)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, my ex-colleague WhatsApp me this morning basically asking me to recommend a laptop for his children. He said that their current laptop lags and what brand am I using right now. I actually just bought myself an HP laptop last year. Did an unboxing video and blogging about it.

You can watch my HP laptop unboxing video here. Surprisingly, the video got a lot of views. The weird thing is that most of the viewers are from India. I know because some of them asked me questions in the Indian language. Most of them are probably students.

I asked my friend a couple of questions about their laptops. Like, what's the CPU and GPU, or how many rams it has. As, probably, they can just upgrade the rams if it's only 2GB or 4GB. I'm assuming they're using an old low-end spec laptop.

I don't really have any favorite brand though. I have used many computer brands throughout the years and they're all basically the same. Even Apple products will start to give you problems in the later stage. Right now, my iPad 10 pro seems to start to lag. I feel it's because of the bloated iOS updates.



ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 Anime Matrix Gaming and Entertainment Laptop (AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS 8-Core, 24GB RAM, 4TB PCIe SSD, NVIDIA RTX 2060 Max-Q, 14.0" QHD (2560x1440), WiFi, Win 10 Home) with Hub

If I have the money, I'll want to get the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Anime Matrix gaming laptop. With the latest AMD Ryzen 9 and RTX graphics. Now, that's what I call a high-end gaming laptop. Asus, been saying they have the latest liquid metal cooling system, I wonder how good is it.

Heat is always the main problem for a gaming system. Be it my Nintendo Switch/Switch lite, Powkiddy X18 Android gaming console, the Xbox, PS5, or even my Samsung Note 10+. My Note 10+ system app actually had to close the game Grid Autosport because it was over-heating.



2021 HP 15.6" FHD Touchscreen Laptop Computer, 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, HD Audio, HD Webcam, Intel Iris Plus Graphics, Bluetooth, Windows 10, Silver, 32GB SnowBell USB Card

When getting a laptop, it primarily depends on your budget. I'm not sure what's my friend budget is but, if you want something for the kids that could last them for years, get the best specs that you can afford. Minimum 8GB ram, i5-i7, 256-1TB SSD, and a good webcam.

Nowadays, because of the pandemic, your kids need a good webcam. The Intel Iris or AMD Radeon mobile graphics are good enough for some low-mid range gaming. I'm not sure how old my friend kids are but I don't think they do hardcore gaming. If they do, the price might go way up just for the GPU.



2021 Acer Aspire 3 15.6" FHD Laptop Computer, 10th Gen Intel Quad-Core i5-1035G1, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB PCIe SSD, Intel UHD Graphics, Built-in Webcam, HDMI, Windows 10, Black, 32GB SnowBell USB Card

The design is actually important for me too. Although, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's also good that the laptop of today is getting slimmer and lighter too. The problem with that is sometimes everything is integrated into the motherboard that you're pretty much stuck with the specs.

Samsung has even designed and boasted a laptop that's like the mobile phone today. The specs aren't that bad either. Although, I'm not sure about the gaming aspect. I don't know why they like to hide the Intel GPU. You have to search through everything to finally find it.

It's always good to look out for great sales offer though. That's how I got my HP laptop. It got a standard webcam, touch ID for logging on to your laptop. 15.6" screen and a full backlit keyboard with a keypad. Mine is an AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon RX Vega 10 mobile graphics. 

I also got a minimum of 8GB DDR4 Ram and 512GB SSD for storage. Got it for around USD$640. Pretty much a budget purchase. If I'm to recommend my friend, it'll be this specs-wise laptop.

Fun Dabbling with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 - Creating Console calculator IN C++


Microsoft Surface Pro 7 12.3" (Latest Model) 10th Gen Core i7-1065G7 IRIS 512GB SSD 16GB RAM 2736X1834 12.3" Touch Win 10 Pro PVU-00015

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been saying how great my 2 in 1 Windows 10 tablet Pc is. Well, I think I've reached its limits. Like yesterday, I finally realized my 15.6 inch HP AMD Ryzen 7 laptop is much better if I want to use it for learning (dabbling) to codes.

First off, my 2 in 1 tablet 10-inch screen is too small for my eyes. I'm wearing spectacles and the small fonts is too..err small. I've made it bigger but the main font is still small. A couple of times, I had a hard time seeing the code.

It isn't all that bad as it's still great for use as a tablet in bed before you sleep. As a tablet, it's also much better if you like coloring games for adults or drawing. My tablet comes with a stylus pen. Maybe, one day, I'll get myself a Microsoft Surface Pro. So that I can use it for dabbling with coding and drawing.

I still prefer a 2 in 1 tablet PC with a detachable keyboard but with better specs. Especially, if it also has the latest gaming GPU and CPU. Currently, no companies have that. I'm not sure why nobody interested in a gaming tablet PC form.



Microsoft Surface Go (Intel Pentium Gold, 4GB RAM, 64GB)

Actually, you can pretty much game on a Surface tablet. Intel HD already comes with the latest mobile graphics. Even my HP laptop comes with an AMD Radeon Vega 10. Although, you'll have to lower the resolution and only managed low to medium settings.

The point is that mobile GPU makes it possible to make your laptop as slim as possible. It's also supposed to be cooler. My laptop does get hot when gaming. I guess, if it's in a tablet form, you'll feel the heat in your palm when holding it.



NEW Microsoft Surface Duo 128GB (Unlocked) - Glacier

Last year, I opened up my HP laptop to see if I can upgrade its ram from 8GB. Turn out, it got two slots. But, what surprised me most is how thin the motherboard was. No wonder, it was pretty light and slim. That's why a thin and powerful tablet PC won't be much of a stretch for companies like HP to create.

If I take out the ugly tough case for my tablet PC, it'll be much lighter. Weight is important because I sometimes hold my tablet with one hand when I'm in bed. That's why I don't fancy the 2 in 1 folding laptop. I also worry about getting the keyboard dirty if you put it facing down.



Microsoft Surface Laptop Go - 12.4" Touchscreen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD - Sandstone

Another important thing for me to own a tablet PC with a detachable keyboard is that I'm a Youtuber and a blogger. My main equipment for taking videos, pictures, editing, and uploading to youtube is my ever-reliable iPad pro 10.5 inches. 

The iPad camera is good enough for taking videos. It's also powerful enough for video editing. A simple free video editor, iMovie helps too. I also use the Garageband app to create my background music. Mostly because I won't have a copyright problem.



Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (Intel Core M, 4GB RAM, 128GB) with Windows 10 Anniversary Update

If Microsoft wants to compete with Apple, they should take a look at the iPad and improve their surface products. A good FREE video editor likes the old Movie Maker, a Garageband equivalent, better front and back camera for better pictures and videos. Also, makes the price competitive.

I always wanted to try out the Surface tablet pc but, because of the price and most importantly those points like camera and lack of good free apps. There are many pc and android apps but those fckers either have too many ads or have watermarks. There, I said it.

I just remembered another point why I prefer tablets. It's because I can put it on a stand with a holder. You can't put a 2 in 1 folding laptop on a holder to take videos. That's why using an iPad or a tablet pc is much more useful for a Youtuber like me. You can then immediately edit and upload.

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 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.

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!

Ces 2021 RazerStore LIVE Exclusive News and Products Announcement


Razer Blade 15 Advanced Gaming Laptop 2020: Intel Core i7-10875H 8-Core, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Max-Q, 15.6” FHD 300Hz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, CNC Aluminum, Chroma RGB Lighting, Thunderbolt 3

Hey guys,

Check it out!

You've probably watched live the Razer Ces 2021 on their latest news and product announcement. I'm not going to talk about everything that's been announced though. Especially, since, I skipped here and there. They talk about last year's products and collaboration with other companies. This year, it's kinda the same. With new collabs.

The updates that interest me the most is that just as with Asus ROG laptops, the Nvidia RTX 30 series GPU will be coming to the latest Razer's. This makes me think how powerful the laptop has become. Comparable to a gaming desktop. To have all that on a portable machine is really a feat itself. But, as always, I wonder about the heat and how long can the battery last?

I've never actually owned a Razer laptop. Well, I almost got myself the Razer Blade Stealth. They were offering some music software that could really be useful for making background music for my youtube videos. Even with the kind of specs they offered back then compared to now, I'll probably still be using it today.

I'm actually looking for something like the Microsoft Surface Pro. Which is kinda like a tablet. But, with Windows 10. I think this kinda form really suits what I'm doing as a Youtuber and a blogger. Currently, my main device to take videos, pictures, and editing is my iPad pro. The iPad Pro also has iMovie and Garageband. Which is a plus.

What I mean with the tablet form is that I can put it in a holder on my tripod and use the camera to take my videos. Even if you have a 2-in-1 laptop, which I do, when you fold it, it's either too thick or the camera is blocked. Also, most laptop camera sucks and there's only one facing you. The surface pro is just like my iPad only, I can't find any good FREE video editing software like the old Movie Maker.

I've never owned a Surface Pro, so, I'm not sure how good or smooth it is. How good is the camera? Will, it hangs or stutters while I'm editing my videos? I don't want to be like the old days when I had a Pentium pc with less than 4 GB of rams. It used to freeze so much. Sometimes, it will hang just trying to load the videos.

What I'm getting at is that Razer should create something like the Surface Pro + Ipad pro, combined into one product that will be great for my work. Of course, it has to be able to play the latest games too. With big storage, the latest RTX GPU, and a powerful processor. Either by AMD or Intel. Although, nowadays, I'm more inclined to AMD Ryzen.

I have an HP AMD Ryzen 7 laptop with  RX Vega 10 mobile GPU. I opened it up and was really surprised by how thin the motherboard was. No wonder it's light and pretty slim. Although, it does get hot. Even if I'm just watching movies or youtube. I wonder if that new cooling paste that Asus is using for their new laptop will help with the heat dissipation.

Razer actually made the Razer Edge. It was probably the most powerful, Windows 10 gaming tablet back then. I don't know what happened to that project. It's the same as their Razer phone. Which I used to own. In spite of all the problems they had, I really like the design. I like the rectangular size, it was made of some kind of metal and smooth to the touch.

I like the Razer phone so much, I was wondering if they're gonna do like what Apple did and do a tablet version of the phone. In fact, they should do that same design with the speakers at the top and bottom. When you're playing games, it'll fit nicely with a mobile game controller like the Razer Kishi. If any company can do a tablet, Windows 10, portable gaming console, it'll be Razer.

I'm surprised that Razer has stop production or improved on their gaming tablet and gaming phone. Well, I guess, I'll just have to wait and see if anybody can build gaming windows 10 tablet with the kind of specs and design that I want. So that I can use it to take my videos and pictures with a better camera and also immediately edit it without the hassle to transfer them to another pc or laptop.

Having an all-in-one device for Youtuber and blogger like me would be nice!
