Original intent drives Jabra's new fitness earbud

» Entirely sweat and waterproof, the Elite Sport is, as its name suggests, a great choice of headphones for working out. Providing decent sound quality with a snug, customisable rubber frame that commendably keeps the earphones where they should be, while keeping ambient noises out, the device is also greatly versatile, able to act as a decent hands-free headset for calls as well as a fitness tracker with HRM (heart rate monitor) capabilities. What the device can't do, however, is act as an on-the-go headphone for your daily needs, with a measly three-hours of battery life per charge. The provided charging case that comes with the headphones does provide a further two charges to your use -- for another six hours of use -- though it probably won't be practical.

K6 Note fails to dazzle
Business, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 11/02/2017
» While enjoying moderate success in the laptop computer market, Lenovo has never been the most competitive brand when it comes to smartphones, generally offering devices in the low-to-mid-tier range. The K6 Note, the latest release in the brand's K6 series, which includes the ordinary K6 and the K6 Power, doesn't seem to buck the trend, coming with a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 and a measly maximum of 4GB of RAM, which makes the phone noticeably suffer when used for extended periods of time. The same can be said for the phone's ability to run relatively taxing apps or multitasking. This lack of power and a subpar 16MP camera makes the phone a tough sell, even at its affordable price of 8,990 baht.
For raw gaming performance, Omen 17 delivers the goods

» Sporting a top-tier GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, 16GB RAM, 2TB of storage and a new-generation Intel Core-i7 processor, the Omen 17 -- HP's 17-inch flagship gaming laptop -- is a force to be reckoned with.
Light, powerful and skinny

» With a thickness and weight comparable to that of larger iPad models, the Spectre is without a doubt one of the thinnest and lightest laptops available on the market today. While laptops of this size and weight inevitably end up sacrificing power for portability, the HP Spectre brings us the best of both worlds, packing an Intel-Core i7 (or i5) processor along with up to 8GB of RAM in its slender, solidly built body, making it one of the most balanced laptops in terms of power, portability and design.
Asus ZenBook 3 review: Can it take the heat?
Business, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 15/10/2016
» Looking at the Asus ZenBook 3's specs on paper, there really isn't anything not to love about this ultrabook. Running Windows 10 on an Intel Core i7 processor (or i5, for cheaper versions) with support for up to a whopping 16GB of RAM (4GB for lesser models), 500GB of native storage and a full-HD (1920x1080) resolution LED screen wrapped in a body comparable to a MacBook Air, the ZenBook 3 seems poised to blow it's Mac OS counterparts out of the proverbial water in terms of power, while matching them for portability. Alas, poor heat management and battery life holds back the machine from showing its full power, making it, at best, equal to the MacBook Air in some areas, and borderline broken in others.
Best of the rest

» The Motorola G4 Plus -- the latest device to join Motorola's Moto G line of smartphones -- is a heck of a good deal. With an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a respectable 5.5-inch full-HD display and up to 64GB native storage (with up to 4GB RAM) that can be increased further with microSD support, it's almost too much to expect from a phone that costs a relatively low price of about 9,000 Baht. Slap on a decent and flexible 16MP back camera, a water resistant frame and a fingerprint scanner for added security, and the Motorola G4 Plus becomes an instant recommendation for anyone looking for an affordable smartphone without sacrificing any (noticeable amount of) power.
Soaked your phone? No problem

» Last week we were at Samsung's Galaxy Studio, a special installation located on Orchard Road, Singapore, dedicated to showcasing the various new products coming soon to the Korean tech giant's line-up. The highlight, of course, was the brand's latest entry in its flagship Galaxy Note series of smartphones, the Galaxy Note 7.
Envy-ous? Not really
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 11/05/2016
» For a machine with a 6th Generation Intel dual-core i7 processor and 8GB RAM running on Windows 10, the HP Envy Notebook never quite managed to leave much of an impression on me. Despite its impressive specs, comfortable keyboard and sleek design, I still found using the notebook to be merely satisfactory at best, with enough performance glitches to hold it back from being an immediate recommendation. Those of you looking for a light, serviceable laptop computer for working on the go could find a lot to like in the machine, provided you can stomach the relatively hefty price.
Looking towards the Sun

» Thailand is a geologically blessed country. We do not have any volcanoes, nor do we have to worry about house-wrecking earthquakes or tornadoes. It is our many blessings, however, that may have made us a little lax when it comes to our awareness of the environment.
