             Recently a laptop called 'Pinebook' has caught my attention. This laptop costs only $99 USD and It's running Linux. A laptop this cheap usually won't be 'user-friendly' because many corners were cut for lowering the expenses. But $99 dollars? This is really unheard of. So let's take a look of this $99 dollar laptop's specs.  This is the Pinebook's specs shown in Pine64's website. As you can see, It's armed with an 1.2 GHz Allwinner A64 quad core processor. This processor might not be familiar with some of you so let me tell you a little bit about it. The Allwinner A64 is a 64-bit tablet processor developed by Allwinner which is a Chinese company. It's got Quad core Arm Cortex-A53 processors and a Mali-400 GPU. No wonder it's running Linux. I'm not sure it'll got enough power to run Windows.  So the specs isn't the best, in fact it's pretty poor. But again, It's $99 dollars. What do you expect? This pro...

  Recently I read news about the nuclear diamond battery. Basically, it is a battery developed by NDB in the United States, made from nuclear waste and can last over 10 years without one single charge. Let me explain to you all how it worked:   The nano-diamond battery will absorb carbon-14 from the graphite which is a recycled nuclear waste. When the graphite decays it will produce a small current to power things up.  Can you ever imagine that if this battery is used in modern-day smartphones or laptops or electric cars that will last longer than a decade without one single charge? You can read your Instagram or twitter tweets for a whole day without worrying to charge again. Or you can drive all night long in your electric car all over the world enjoying some breathtaking views outside the window without worrying where's the next charging spot. Isn't that amazing? All of these will happen in the future someday if NDB manages to successfully develop the battery. Yes...

A HP Chromebook.   Are Chromebooks the future of laptop computers? Chromebooks, marketed as a cheap alternative to traditional laptops, especially for students, are rising up in popularity. These lightweight and affordable laptops run on ChromeOS, a cloud-centric operating system where the user's data will be stored in the cloud instead of local storage devices, which Windows and MacOS rely on. Recently my secondary school has purchased a number of ASUS Chromebooks for students. They are rugged, splashproof and touchscreen. Yes, you read that right, there's touchscreen on that thing. Normally, a lightweight laptop with touchscreen support or a "2-in-1" laptop is much more expensive than a traditional laptop. But when I look online, most Chromebooks cost around $1000-4000 HKD which a regular "2-in-1" windows laptop costs well over $10000 HKD. So, what's so special about Chromebooks that made them much cheaper and more importantly, are Chromebooks going to...

         Vietnam's smartphone company Vsmart has launched a new 5G smartphone called the Aris 5G. It's armed with a 6.39 inch 2340x1080 Super AMOLED display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor. It also has a 48MP+8MP+2MP triple camera setup. With all these specs the price was rumoured to be 8,000,000 VND. Which is cheaper than some of the 5G smartphones with the same specs on the market.
