It’s 5 days left to Christmas. If you have not decided what to buy for that special person, here are my recommendations. There are reasons why I love them which I will share with you. No bullshit (quote from Klipsch founder), no commissions, all personal…
I have been testing the Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) over the past weeks. It is a mixed bag of experience. I love the overall design: it has the premium aluminium unibody feel and in a size so compact you would never have imagined it having…
ASUS Singapore sent me the ASUS Travelair AC (WSD-A1) for my review, and it does not look like the usual tech product. Upon unboxing, a turquoise-coloured plastic disc sits within a paper box covered with silky fabric in similar colour tone. One would be forgiven to…
It has been a long while since I reviewed an all-in-one computer. I always thought that they offer a blend of looks and practicality. After all, you can shrink the processor but you cannot make the monitor any smaller than what it is meant to…

It’s really heartening to see ASUS going all out on social media to promote the Zenfone 2 series of smartphones.

When…
