This is my concise review of the Sony Xperia Z1, in pros and cons form. Pros: Sharp display, with accurate colours; touch screen responsiveness is very good Excellent build quality: device is made from aluminium and glass (front and back) and feels robust and premium as a result Sony’s skin over Android doesn’t slow down Android Sony includes lots of free things with this phone (six movies, including Elysium, a free…
The Galaxy Note 3 is Samsung’s latest ‘phablet’ and it’s got a lot of buzz. But, the question is: is it any good? This phone has a 5.7 inch 1080p Super AMOLED touchscreen and it is beautiful. The colours pop massively and watching media on this phone is an absolute joy. The screen responsiveness is fantastic. I had no issues at all. The display is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass…
Please note: I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation, and I promise that my review is fair and honest. Here’s what’s included: The screen protector was very easy to fit. I mucked up the first one due to being in a dusty environment, but the second one went on pretty much perfectly. Pushing out the bubbles was easy,…
So, I recently purchased an iMac Intel Core Duo (MA199LL/A) to use as my main computer. I unpackaged it and was generally surprised at how good of a condition it was in, given that it was released in early 2006. So, I hooked the iMac up and plugged the Apple Keyboard up, along with an Apple Magic Mouse that I bought as well. I pushed the power button and heard my…
I first of all bought these headphones for general listening after unacceptable hours of loud music. Good headphones were needed, and were achieved (Good, not Perfect). It’s apparent the HD 201 headphones are good, but not perfect! They’re very comfortable to wear, and the tough construction will last heavy handed people on a daily basis, like me. The Noise leakage on the HD 201 is at a minimum,…
In the ever-increasing battle for the biggest, most super sonic, badass megazoom on the planet, Canon has fired its latest camera with thePower Shot. This digital camera is 50x optical zoom delivers the equivalent of 24-1200mm range from a 24mm wide-angle lens, and boasts several improvements over the PowerShot SX40 HS (the older brother model). But serious range isn’t all the SX50 HS offers. A refined 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor coupled with a…
I’ve used Ubuntu on and off since 2009 when I realized it made my netbook that was initially using Windows XP run way faster. Canonical, the team behind Ubuntu, has since shifted their focus away from making a basic operating system that just works, to a modern operating system comparable in UI and function to Windows 8 and OSX. Since Ubuntu 11.04, Canonical replaced the well-loved but slightly outdated-in-design Gnome 2 shell in favor of the buggy…
The Surface 2, released by Microsoft on October 22. 2013 In this article I’ll be referring towards the RT edition of the Surface. Although, everyone has mixed feelings about it, especially when it comes to the age groups. When it comes to the youth, it’s not “powerful” enough. It’s “specs” aren’t good enough. While in my head all that I’m thinking is, what are you going to be doing on this TABLET? It’s a…
The latest instalment of the ever popular Sonic The Hedgehog franchise made it’s debut in Europe on Friday 18th October 2013. Sonic Lost World sees the blur in blue explore the mysterious Lost Hex and also sees him face six new deadly enemies aptly named the ‘Deadly Six’. Having now played through the game quite religiously for the past few days, I’m now in a position where I can make…
I remember when this game was announced some time ago, me and all my friends were excited for this game, to the point to where we all got Windows 7 on our Macbook Pros. We knew that even though we barely knew any Japanese we weren’t going to let that hold us back, so as soon as we could get it in Japanese, we got it. This won’t entirely be…
