» The new iPad Pro may not look new on the surface but Apple has long been vocal about this new tablet's under-the-hood specialty: the M1 Chip, the same chip found in the 13-in MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and Mac Mini. The prospect of a tablet armed with a chip that's running MacBooks definitely piques interest to say the least, but the question is whether it's all it's made out to be.

» You would think that a game as massive as Assassin's Creed Valhalla wouldn't need an expansion and yet here's Wrath Of The Druids, which was released earlier this month. Tagged by Ubisoft as only the first major expansion in an unknown number to come, the add-on gives the already hefty game even more stories, mysteries and locations to discover and explore. But is more necessarily better?

» Buying a phone on a budget usually means having to set your expectations low. After all, you can't expect to get the same features as the latest high-end release on a mid-tier phone. Though the new Samsung Galaxy A52 doesn't match the superior quality of its S Series siblings, which is a given, it still gives you more value for your buck than you would imagine.

» Apple has a reputation for taking existing products and improving on it, making it their own. Remember all those years ago when the Macbook Air, the iPod and the iPhone were released? They've shown no signs of stopping either. Their latest foray into somewhat uncharted territory for their company is the AirPods Max, their line of headphones set to improve on their earphones, the AirPods and AirPods Pro. The announcement of the AirPods Max last year took customers by surprise. Now that it's been out for nearly a month in Thailand, the question is whether it's worth the B19,900 price tag.

» Sennheiser is known for delivering high-quality audio products, so upon the release of its latest bluetooth earphones, the Sennheiser CX400 BT True Wireless, I had pretty high expectations. While it does deliver superbly on some fronts, I experienced a major drawback that disappointed me.

» Whether you're a fan or a hater of Apple, everyone waits expectantly whenever a new iPhone is released so you can gush over it or ridicule it. As expected, once the veil was drawn and the iPhone 12 was revealed, a whole slew of reactions came pouring forth. Some loved its design while others, including its very own competitors, made fun of the fact that it no longer comes with a charger. The iPhone 12 has been out about two weeks now so the question is this: is it deserving of the hate or the hype it's been given?
