I have been using the Z Fold full time now for a week now including life with a regular 9 to 5 job. Here is how it went. As I mentioned in my 72 hour impressions post, I was lucky enough to get my Z fold early despite being a paying customer so I already have a fair amount of time with the device even though it only officially released on the 7th of August. To start off lets have a quick overview…
So I was one of the lucky ones who got their Z Fold 8 early, here are my impressions after 3 full days with the device as a real buyer. My Z Fold 8 in its box on delivery day. I came to this device from my iPhone 17 Pro however while I have been predominantly an iPhone user over the past almost 20 years I have dabbled with android over that time too, I had a HTC One M8 (absolute banger of a…
Yesterday Samsung unveiled officially the Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra. Yes that's right, there is now 3 members of the Z family. The Z flip is almost entirely unchanged from last year, essentially its a Z Flip 7S model just a chip bump and frustratingly Samsung is still up to their shenanigans of giving certain markets like the UK an Exynos version rather than a Snapdragon like the US…
WARNING Please don't be a dummy like me and install Developer Betas on your main phone or laptop. WWDC had their keynote on Monday, and while yes there was a lot of talk about AI, but there was a lot of other stuff they talked about that is great. Apple clearly heard the cries of the people, outside of the AI there is no big new features (although I'm sure there's something they're keeping up…
Back at the end of last year Valve announced a slue of new hardware, the Steam Machine, a consolised PC for a more powerful native steam experience compared to the Deck their handheld device, the Steam Frame an ARM powered VR headset that can either run games streamed from a PC like its processor or some games it can run through valves latest instruction interpolation layer, now going beyond just…
Its been a month now since I got my Neo and well I have to say its been pretty uneventful. Obviously the first week was mostly just finding the limits of the device seeing what I can throw at it and well, you can throw a lot at it. Obviously all singing all dancing it is not and practically it has limits for example while I was able to open up Davinci Resolve and chop together a 4k Video and…
In a stunning tern from what many expected. Xbox is actually making changes and adjustments to the brand that are not related to just shoving copilot into everything. In fact most of these changes involve cutting things. Firstly on the chopping block is the old logo. this to me does have echos of Apples Liquid Glass but hey its better than he old logo. This goes a long with the other rebranding of…
At this point it is a pretty ice cold take to state that Apple have lagged behind in AI, the long rumored Siri revamp is still nowhere to be seen, and at this point I'm not holding my breath on any improvement on that at WWDC in a few weeks time. There is one key area though they have stealthily been encroaching on their competition, the hardware to run AI models themselves, Apple Silicon is one…
Last Night the long rumored changing of the guard was announced . Tim Cook will be stepping down from the aluminum throne and will be moving to the Executive Chairman Role. In his place will be John Ternus, previously the SVP of hardware and a long term apple fellow with 25 years of tenure. Honestly this news couldn't have come soon enough to me Tim Cook is not a product guy, he is a supply chain…
Recently I wrote a post about the Neo stating it is terrible value , while I don't think what I said to be wholly untrue now I have mellowed in my opinion of the device somewhat. Macbook Neo The biggest thing that made me change my mind was just using the demo one in the apple store, I was surprised with what it could handle with limited complaining, I had opened basically every single application…
