  Waiting on Vol 3

  Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/04/2017

  » Prior to 2014, most of us have probably never even heard of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy series, let alone expect to see a high-budget film adaptation of it become universally praised. Filled with the humour, heart and the visual spectacles Marvel has always been so good at, director James Gunn captured lightning with the first film. Marvel seems to agree, which is why Vol 2 was produced, arriving in Thai theatres earlier this week.

  High energy in a small space

  Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 31/01/2018

  » As technology continues to render computer components smaller and smaller, the need to compromise between portability and power is rendered increasingly moot. The 2017 model of the HP Spectre x360 is a paragon of this idea, seamlessly incorporating 4K-capable processing power with a body barely over a kilo in weight. While the review unit I received had some issues maintaining battery life after a while -- no doubt due to the 4K screen -- the overall experience, including the touchpad, keyboard and even the touchscreen-controlled tablet mode are better than any convertible of this size I've ever experienced. It's certainly the most powerful, too.

  Find your Zen

  » Powerful, ultra-thin laptops are beginning to make a mark, offering impressive performance for efficient and portable machines. Asus' ZenBook Flip S (ux370) proves this point, with an Intel i7-7500U processor, 8GB of RAM and a generous 512GB SSD. As a laptop, the ZenBook Flip S is great, with an impressive screen, keyboard and track-pad making the device a pleasure to use. While the device does run a little warm, even with just general use, the overall experience was still quite positive.

  Moto loses its mojo

  Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 27/12/2017

  » After last year's delightful Moto Z modular phone, one of the more interesting models in its price-range, it's a wonder why Motorola even bothered to release something like the Moto X4 this year. With middling specs across the board and no real notable feature to talk about, the Moto X4 is yet another mid-range Android phone, one among countless thousands already on the market today.

  Looking through the P10 Plus

  Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 05/07/2017

  » With its pair of Leica-developed cameras, speedy 6GB of Ram and beautiful QHD (2560x1440) screen, the Huawei P10 Plus is very possibly the best phone to be released by the Chinese brand so far, providing high-end quality features at a competitive price, with very minor caveats.

  Taking on the big boys

  Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 14/06/2017

  » In recent years, Chinese smartphone brands like Huawei and Oppo have enjoyed a great surge in popularity and positive consumer impressions, blending decent performance with relatively attractive prices. They can't exactly put up a realistic fight against the biggest boys on the block just yet, but they're getting there fast.

  For those perfect Netflix and chill moments

  » Sporting a rather hefty combination of an Intel-Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM (upgradeable to 16GB), the Lenovo Yoga 910 is no doubt one of the more powerful ultra-thin hybrid laptops currently on the market. It also sports a pretty decent battery, offering almost 10 hours of use per full-charge, something that greatly enhances its purpose as a portable (1.3kg) working laptop.

  You pays your money

  » As monolithic a consumer-electronics brand as they are, Sony has always been content to compete in the mid-range smartphone market instead of going up against the big boys like Apple or Samsung. Mid-range android phones are a-dime-a-dozen these days, however, and the Sony Xperia XA1, the brand's latest mid-tier addition to their Xperia line (after the XA1 Ultra) has its work cut out for it if it wants to stand out.
