Heloideo Battery Power Bank for iPhone and USB C Android Phones with Built in Lightning Review

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Reviews 2 Comments

My review of the Heloideo Power Bank for the iPhone and USB-C devices. This has the lightning cable and USB-C connections built right in which is cool. Only concern is that I don’t see this labeled as MFI certified (made for iPhone) so that might cause some concerns. This however charged my iPhone X without problems, as well as my Samsung Galaxy S8+ I apologize for the crappy quality of the video. I was sick and I don’t have all my camera equipment unpacked from moving!

My first impressions unboxing review of the Apple Watch Series 3. I’ve only used it for a few days so I haven’t fully utilized it yet. Be on the look out for a full review in the future. So far, I think it is a good upgrade from the Series 0 and the performance improvements have been significant. I ran into a few LTE issues in the beginning but they have been resolved.

Gaming Laptop Recommendation – The Razer Blade (GeForce GTX 1060) 14″ HD Gaming Laptop (7th Gen Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) – VR Ready

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets 2 Comments

Looking for the best gaming laptop out there that doesn’t weigh and can play the latest games such as Mass Effect Andromeda or Nier: Automata? I’d totally recommend the Razer Blade 14. This thing is a beast but doesn’t look like a beast. It’s smaller than the MacBook Pro 2016 15 inch but definitely made more for gamers. It’s also professional looking enough to take to work and get some work done. Multitask between Outlook, Excel, Word, and some games with ease.

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, 512GB PCIe SSD and 16GB RAM provides desktop-grade performance in a laptop for even the most intensive gaming – even on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive
  • extremely thin (0.7″) CNC aluminum chassis, weighing in only at 4.16 lbs
  • Get the best gaming experience with an incredible 14″ IPS Full HD display
  • World’s most advanced gaming notebook with Chroma anti-ghosting keyboard and Killer Wireless AC
  • Thunderbolt 3 – The one port that does it all with Thunderbolt, USB, and DisplayPort over USB-C
