    Life, James Hein, Published on 07/11/2018

    » The fixed line versus Wi-Fi debate continues to be a popular one. And with technologies like Wi-Gig and Wi-Fi 6 in the pipeline, the debate will only intensify.

This was being fed my position by satellite and receiving information from the internet via my phone's data connection. Occasionally I would pull down the notification tab to see what was on for the day and who had tried to contact me via a number of social-media services.

    Phone for pro-gamers

    Life, Komsan John Jandamit, Published on 19/05/2021

    » As a long-time on-the-go gamer who started with the original Nintendo Gameboy (now a full-time Nintendo Switch user), mobile gaming was always something that I enjoyed. But would a "gaming phone" such as this Lenovo Legion Phone Duel be able to quench my thirst to game and use it as a communication device at the same time?
