100th Post!

This post marks my 100th post on this blog! So actually, I have been actively blogging this past year and I am exhilarated about the fact that my blog have been read by about 4000 viewers. The numbers might be insignificant, but it is a great milestone achieved, and I will work towards my goal of 10,000 blog viewers, as well as about 100 subscribers on my Youtube channel. Talking about Youtube, my TP-Link unboxing video had hit to about 33,000 views and I will do my best to keep the numbers going, by doing more tech videos in the future, if I plan to do so. It has been my hobby to post tech related news and bring informative materials to the world that can benefit them. So I will end off this post by leaving a link to my Youtube. Do subscribe to my channel for future tech videos and keep up-to-date with the latest tech updates! Thanks!

iPad Mini event - 23rd October 2012

On the 23rd of October, Apple launched a new product: the iPad mini. With a stunning 7.9 inch display, it is easier for users to carry around when travelling, due to its lighter weight and smaller design. But has the performance improved? To be precise, I feel that the iPad mini is a scaled down version of the iPad 2, except for the new HD cameras, LTE and Lightning connector that were introduced. It uses the A5 processor that the iPad 2 has, which I doubt that the performance will lose out to the iPad 3 and the newly introduced iPad 4, that has the new A6X processor. Alongside to the announcement of the iPads, new Mac Minis and iMacs were introduced. Sad to say, the Mac Minis were only given the USB 3.0 support upgrade, and new Ivy bridge processors, and there are not much of a difference as compared to the older generations. However, the iMac made drastic changes especially to the hardware design. IT IS STUNNINGLY THIN. I never expect Apple to make such a bold move, and I am really impressed by the team of engineers that designed this new iMac. Apple also introduced the 13 inch Retina Macbook Pro that stands alongside to its 15 inch brother. iBooks 3.0 and iBooks Author were also released earlier today to further improve the quality of their ebooks.

iPhone 5

It's quite a long time since I posted here. So today, let's talk about the new iPhone : iPhone 5. As expected from those rumors, a longer screen iPhone was indeed correct. With a stunning 1136x640 pixel 4-inch display, the new iPhone allows more room for content display and gaming. Fitted with a brand new A6 processor and 1GB of ram, it handles high-processor-gaming more efficiently and boosts its speed for normal web surfing. A brand new 720p front facing camera was also introduced to replace the old VGA quality camera, and the back camera remains the same as the iPhone 4S, with full 1080p HD video recording. It has a brand new dock connector-Lightning, and is much smaller in size compared to the old 30-pin dock connector.
