Microsoft Surface Go First Impressions – great tablet if you use Edge

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Geek Life, Reviews Leave a comment

Yeah that’s me looking at Reddit lol. I’m day 3 on the 8/128 surface go and so far have used it mainly as a laptop vs a tablet. I’m looking to see if this can replace my MacBook 12inch and 9.7 inch iPad Pro.

So far it’s been pretty good as a laptop. Sure it was laggy during the first few hours during updates but it’s performed pretty well on all the software I use for work which is Office 365 and Chrome.

Today I’ve finally decided to just use this as a tablet laying on the couch. Chrome runs like garbage in tablet mode. However, Edge runs very well. As well as Safari in the iPad except with much more versatility since the Surface Go runs on a fully functional operating system.

Still wish the Go had better hardware though and i would definitely pay more for 16GB RAM and a better CPU on this form factor. Excited to see what Microsoft will announce in October.

New Apple MacBook Pro 2018 Released

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets Leave a comment

In case you missed it, the moment all Mac and Finalcut Pro fanboys and fan girls have been waiting for… Apple has released a spec bumped upgrade to their MacBook Pro 13 and 15 inch with Touch Bar. The biggest changes are:

  • 8th Generation Intel CPU 6 core on the 15 inch, and 4 core on the 13 inch
  • Now up to 32GB RAM!
  • Now up to 4TB SSD, possibly the fastest transfer rate available
  • Supposedly an improved and quieter keyboard
  • Truetone Display

The videocard is still the AMD Radeon 560 and display resolution is 2560×1600 native at 277ppi so if you are looking for better graphics performance, it’s the same as last years. If you max out the specs, you’ll be paying whopping $6699 plus tax. Majority of that cost is $3200 to add on the 4TB of SSD!

With the new MacBook Pro release, Blackmagic has also released their eGPU powered by the (non removable) AMD Radeon Pro 580 graphics card with 8GB of DDR5 RAM for $699. Keep in mind that any Thunderbolt 3 MacBook Pros running high Sierra is needed to support an eGPU which includes the Razer Core.


This is My Workspace June 2018

Been awhile since I posted anything about my workspace. This is currently my desk now!  I’ll put together a video on my home office in the near future! I try to keep everything neat as possible but sometimes I get the unavoidable clutter. Also my cable management under the desk is sort of a mess so I left that out of the photo. Here’s the gear I’m currently rockin which you can click directly to Amazon:

I really miss having a dedicated Windows machine and I’m currently running it on my Mac using Bootcamp. Might get a Surface Book 15 Inch or the Razer Blade 15 2018 in the near future… maybe!
