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.

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.

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.

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.

Powkiddy X18 - Make Dope Music with Drum Pad Machine


Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Lol. By now, you guys probably would have get it. Yes, Powkiddy X18 is a pretty cool Android portable gaming console. I really like the form factor, which is like a mini laptop. And also, it's almost the same as my New Nintendo 3DS XL. Only, I can do much more with the X18.

The problem with the NN3DS XL is that it doesn't have social media. It doesn't have an open O.S. like Android. You can practically do anything with Android. Part of the reason, I got the X18 is because I can install Ubuntu 20 via Termux (Andronix). An app that lets you use the Linux terminal.

Frankly, I was waiting for my Android tablet laptop to arrive but somehow it got lost during the delivery. Luckily, I got a refund. So, I look around, and when I found out that this Powkiddy X18 and GPD XD Plus can also be used for other things besides gaming, I was intrigued.

I thought these devices were only for playing Android and retro games. It also comes with an integrated controller. But, it's not as powerful as your mobile phone. It only uses the MTK8163 CPU. It is good enough for some gaming and usual everyday stuff like checking emails, social media, and youtube.

I found out that you can use Bluetooth to add an external controller or OTG cable to link via cable. You can also link to your monitor or TV via the mini HDMI port. Pretty useful, as you can then use it as an Android computer. It's using Android 7.0 but still powerful enough for basic computing.

I really like the small compact and portable folding form. You can open it up and let it sit on the table. Bluetooth your keyboard and mouse and voila a mini-computer setup. For simple tasks, you don't need to lug around a Windows laptop anymore. 



Hip-Hop Drum Pads 24

As an android device, you can download many games and apps on it. I decided to try downloading a drum pad machine app and see how good it'll be. Obviously, it's more on using the touchscreen and it's not that awkward to use. Even with the small 5.5" screen.

The sound coming out of it is not that bad. But, it'll be better if you put it on a table so the sound will be more prominent. You can use a cable to link to your favorite speaker but I link it up to my Harmon Kardon Bluetooth speaker. Which is easy to pair and connect.

I'm not a professional DJ or musician but I can see them using this type of Android device for their gigs. In fact, anybody can use it for anything. The small form factor is definitely a plus. A lot of mobile gamers have two phones, one for gaming and the other one for communication.

The powkiddy X18 and GPD XD Plus also has an integrated controller, which is a plus for gaming. Especially those FPS shooter games. Of course, you can also play other games like RPG if they have controller support. If not, you can use the remap buttons app which is already included.

I think I'm glad that I didn't get the tablet as the X18 pretty much good enough for my entertainment, gaming, and general usage. The small and compact form factor, the portability, the Android O.S., and able to play with Linux via the terminal are definitely a plus.

Steelseries nimbus Controller for iPad pro monster Hunter king of fighters street fighter gameplay


SteelSeries Nimbus Wireless Gaming Controller for Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac

Hey guys,

Check it out!

A nice sunday for gaming on your ipad pro!

My ipad pro 10.5 with 256 gb are an alternative to my windows laptop. It's also much cheaper, slimmer and lighter than your usual macbook. I'm actually thinking of selling my 2-in-1 Acer laptop right now for being under used.

I also think, gaming on an ipad pro which obviously have bigger screen are better than on your iphone or ipod touch. That's also part of the reason, I decided to get the steelseries nimbus game controller. Gaming, using a real gamepad are much more ergonomic!

I would have prefered that, I can use my special edition GOW, xbox one S controller to pair with my ipad, but it's not mfi or 'made for ios' certified. Which is a bummer, since I can pair it with my Razer phone. By the way, you can already pre-order the latest, Razer phone 2!

Fans of the iPad, are still waiting for the latest version of iPad pro. Which would have be much powerful with an updated design. Currently, I'm pretty much happy with my Razer phone and iPad pro. I'm just hoping that, game developers will create more games with gamepad support.

The latest F1 mobile 2018 and Monster Hunter Stories for ios, out now are great but they didn't include mfi controller support. I've just bought my steelseries nimbus and I'm scratching my head why it didn't have mfi support right out the box!?

C'mon people. It's 2018, going 2019 and you're still creating so called, 'console-like' games without game controller support. Some people might not have a controller or they prefer touch control but, most sane gamers will prefer using one!

Get the complete setup for your entertainment and work via the links below:
