Apple released this new device, which brings with it lots of performance and capabilities. It also comes with this new color. This device comes with great power, ports such as the Thunderbolt 4, CPU, GPU and AI and Neural processing.

This device is indeed powerful in all aspects, but how do users get the best out of this new MacBook Pro? 🤔

This device is the new MacBook Pro with the M3 CPU. The weight of the device hasn’t changed. It is made from 100% recycled aluminium. Protecting the environment has become fundamental for Apple. The new Black Space color gives the device a great look. The design of the device hasn’t changed much. The only thing changed is the performance.

The new MacBook Pro series come with 3 different CPU: M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. The most powerful of these CPUs is the M3 Max. And with this CPU, there’s only one problem: you can’t make this device throttle. The Pro series come with 2 versions; 14″ and 16″. The one I am reviewing here is the 16″ version. The M3 Pro CPU comes with 12 cores and 18 GPU cores, it supports up to 36GB of RAM. It is 40% better in performance than the M2 Pro. While the M3 Max comes with 16 cores and 40 GPU cores. And it supports up to 128GB of RAM, which is the version I have here. It is way better than the M2 Max, but if you have the M2 Max version, then there’s no reason to upgrade.

However, if you require more performance, then go for the M3 Max. This CPU offers 80% more performance than the M1 Max. For those requiring more CPU, GPU and Neural power, it is logical to upgrade to this CPU from the M1 Max. This GPU comes with 16 Neural Engine cores. Apps like Denoise AI and Gigapixel AI are significantly faster than before. The M3 Pro can output 2 external screens, while the M3 Max can output 4 external screens. The Thunderbolt 4 port can support up to 2 external 4K screens. But you have to use the right cables. Thunderbolt 4 supports high data and video speeds. And they both require high performance, which is available in abundance in this device.

Let’s discuss this 16″ screen, it is Liquid Retina XDR with Mini-LED technology. The resolution of the screen is 3456×2234. It supports up to 1600 nits of brightness. It also supports Apple’s ProMotion technology, for higher refresh rate. It supports up to 120Hz refresh rate. It supports P3 with 100% and True Tone.

How does the CPU perform?

It is more logical to compare this CPU with Apple’s M1 Max CPU! Unlike Intel, the CPU in this device and the software are from the same company, resulting in better performance.

However, both Apple and Intel offer great choices. In Geekbench 6, the CPU scored 3105 points for the single core and 21336 points for multicores. The GPU 92273 points. The M1 Max scored 2431 points for the single core and 12726 points for the multicore, which is double the number. The GPU scored 71387 points. This is a huge difference in performance for those who require it. However, when it comes to rendering, the CPU is 20 to 30% faster than the M1 Max.

The battery of the 14″ version offers 18h of playback. And 12h of web browsing. However, the 16″ version offers 22h of playback and 15h of web browsing. Apple decided to give us all the ports we require. The ports include the SDXC port, Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI port, MagSafe 3 port and a 3.5mm headphones jack. They also support bluetooth 5.3 and WiFi 6e. WiFi 6e is the latest WiFi 6 technology. It helps greatly with the data speeds. But you’ll need a router with WiFi 6e support to take advantages of it. You’ll need faster internet connection, as well. The device comes with a fingerprint sensor and a 1080p webcam.

The device comes with 3 mics, it also comes with 6 speakers with Spatial audio and Dolby Atmos support. Spatial Audio is supported on other Apple products such as the AirPods Max and Pro.

The box includes a black charging cable and a white adapter. I wish it came with a unified color, though. This is what the box comes with.

Let’s discuss the price, The more you upgrade your specs, the higher the price will be. The MacBook Pro 14″ starts from 1852 Euros. The price increases with more specs. The 16″ M3 Max version starts from 2840 euros, and with more specs, the price will be higher, it could reach up to more than 30,000 SAR. This device offers high GPU performance and processing power, it is also great for those who are looking for a mobile device with lots of power that can also be used as a desktop. This device can last for 5 to 6 years at least.

This device works perfectly with iPhones, especially those that support recording RAW videos. The is the only company that offers devices with their own CPUs, software and their own video editing software.

If you want to have an excellent ecosystem with excellent software, then go for the MacBook Pro and iPhone. Along with Apple photo/video editing software, you’ll have great power in your hands. You can only upgrade to this device if your device doesn’t offer the power you require.

Your investment in this ecosystem will be worth it. 👽

See you later.😍

This is a thin smartphone with a frame made from metal, it also comes with back made from vegan leather, and it is 5 stars certified in SGS test. You can do this to the device (slams it on the table), and supposedly, nothing will happen to it. However, being this resistant to breakage doesn’t mean that you should slap it.

I am just showcasing that it break resistant, and that your investment in it will be worthy, This is the new HONOR X9b 5G.

Let’s start with the design of this device:

This device from HONOR is thin with a metal frame, and it only weighs 185g. The thickness of the device is 7.98mm. The screen has curved edges, and there’s a hole in the top middle of the screen to house the front facing camera. The back is made from vegan leather, for environment reasons. The circular design of the rear camera module is really beautiful.

The details of the module are beautiful, The device comes with 3 different colors: Sunrise Orange, Midnight Black, and Emerald Green. The device is IP53 water and dust resistant. The screen of the device is AMOLED 6.78″ with curved edges. The resolution is 2652×1200. It is considered 1.5K. What this means is that the resolution and quality are great.

The screen comes with 429ppi density. It supports 1200nits of brightness. The screen to body ratio is 92.8%. The screen supports Eye Comfort with 1920Hz. It also supports Always-On Display. And supports 120Hz refresh rate. The screen produces 1 billion colors. HONOR names the screen Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Display.

According to HONOR, this is the first device to support this technology. The screen is 360-degree protected. This includes the curved edges. The screen is 5-stars certified from SGS. The screen was tested for 1.5 drop tests from all angles. This device scored the best results compared to all other competitors from the same category.

And as you will can see , I’ve been drop testing the device all video long. Other companies may have gotten 4 stars or 320-degree protection, but HONOR managed to get 5 stars and 360-degrees protection.

What are the specs of this device?

It supports 5G, and comes with Qualcomm SD 6 Gen 1 with 8 cores and 4nm architecture build. The GPU is the Adreno A710. In Geekbench 6, the CPU scored 939 points for the single core and 2781 points for multicores. Here’s where the CPU performance is ranked among other competitors. In Call of Duty game, the device offered smooth performance with 60fps with the highest settings. There’s a feature supported in the device called Game Manager, which turns the device to be a gaming device.

There are two different modes: Balanced, which balances the performance and battery life, and Game Mode, which offers the highest performance. This makes it great for gamers. The device runs Android 13 with HONOR’s MagicOS 7.2. It comes with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM with the option to virtually upgrade it with up to 8GB.

The device supports an in-display fingerprint sensor. It also supports pattern, passcode and face recognition, but it doesn’t have dedicated 3D sensors, making it unsafe to use. The device comes with 3 rear cameras: 108MP main camera, 5MP Ultra Wide, and 2MP Macro. It supports 3x optical zoom and 8x digital zoom. The front facing camera is 16MP. The cameras offer very good performance. The front facing camera supports recording videos with 1080p@30fps.

The rear cameras support either 4k@30fps or 1080p@60fps. Here are samples of the cameras. Note that the more light there is, the better the photos will be. The colors are saturated and warm. In video recording, the device offers acceptable performance.

However, stabalization could’ve been better. The device comes with a 5800mAh battery despite its thinness, and it charges with 35W using the included charger. The battery has scored a high mark on DXOMark. The device supports dual sim cards, 5G, WiFi 5, bluetooth 5.1 and NFC to enable payment methods. The box includes the device, charger, charging cable, 3.5mm headphones and a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle.

Pros:

The battery is huge, and it supports fast charging, it is drop resistant. The design of the rear camera module is beautiful.

Cons:

It doesn’t support eSIM. Hopefully, they’ll fix it soon. I also wished it supported 4K@60fps. It also doesn’t support WiFi 6 and wireless charging, so, It is up to you to decide whether this device is suitable for you.

The device costs 141 euros, it is considered from the entry mid-range category with it comes to the price, but it packs great specs and features. Evaluate your needs before making a decision.

See you later.😇😍

PS releases a new controller. I tried it in Brussels.

I went to Brussels to try this controller. And honestly, my experience with it was really good. With this new controller, you’ll get lots of controls using the PS. It is great for regular users and users with special needs. This controller is great for both, and I’ll discuss the details in this review.

There’s a huge difference between the regular controller and this one, even with the unboxing experience. The parts are laid out in the box in a beautiful way. NO matter how you carry the box, it’ll stay balanced.

Let’s discuss the details, This is the new controller from PS. As soon as you open the box, you’ll be greeted with the whole set. This is the controller itself, and these are all the additional parts and the cables. All the parts inside the box are well-balanced placed. This is the USB-C to USB-C cable to allow you to connect the controller to the PS.

My guess is that the length of the cable is 1.5m. This is the controller and some of the parts attached to it. You can remove the buttons and replace them. Even the X button in the middle is removable and customisable. All the buttons are replaceable.

To remove the button, you have to push inside and up. This method won’t allow the buttons to be removed by accident. Here are 4 additional small buttons. There are another 4 big buttons, as well. There are 2 extra big buttons. Here’s a button that can replace two buttons with one.

They are easy to install. There are two additional wheel controllers. Here are also small stickers that you can place on the controllers to let you know which is which. This controller is an additional controller to the PS. It is great for people with special needs and other users. It is great for people with deceases who can’t use the normal controller to play. I had a meeting with some users with special needs using these new controllers. Enabling these users to play is something very important. It is great for users who can’t use the normal controllers to play along side the normal controller. This new controller open the way for a sea of customisation. The wheel buttons attached to the controller has a lock mechanism to allow it to be elongated.

The design of the controller allows it be fully customised. You can orient the controller however you prefer. Thus allowing all users to use it however they prefer. This is the Profile button, but why does it have it?

You can make different profiles where each button can be customised as you prefer. You can edit the configuration of the profiles from the PS, and the profile will be saved on the controller itself. You can save different profiles and change between them using this button.

The controller has a charging ports and 4 different peripheral ports. These ports are great for users with special needs. All the customisation can be saved to the profiles. It might take up to 2 weeks to get used to using it. You can also change the sensitivity of the buttons. Each controller can work independently. Or it can be attached to another controller. Or it can be attached to a normal controller. You can program it however you prefer. Having bottom threads can allow the users to fixate the controller however they prefer. I’ll fully review this controller in a separate review.

You can pre-order it, and it’ll be officially available in Asia and the Middle East. It is expected to cost 86$ or higher. This controller is great for most users, and I think it is a great addition for gamers. With this controller, you can do things that you can’t do with the normal controller. You can customise all the buttons, including the X button from the software.

The software that allows for such customisation is built in the software of the PS. You can customise each and every button. You can even customise the ports. The customisation level is amazing with this controller. You can even customise the sensitivity of the buttons. Even the joypad can be customised. This all add another dimension to gaming. I think there will be games only developed to be played with this new controller.

PS has been developing this Access Controller since 2018. Do you think that this controller will enhance your gaming? 🤭

And should these controllers be more popular among gamers? 🤔

These controllers can add another dimension to gaming that makes gaming more entertaining. I spoke with a person who was a gamer before, but because of an accident, he wasn’t able to game again. The only way he was able to play is to move his arm around and press the buttons using the other hand. He was able to play very basic games using the the normal controller. But using this controller, he’ll be able to play games like Gods of War and other demanding games. This is a great humanitarian step from PS to allow people with special needs to be able to play again. I haven’t seen anything like this before in the gaming department, where a company pays so much attention to create a new device for people in need. This is something to praised. And I am sure that, with time, this controller will get even better.

Let me know what games should we play using this new device. Hopefully, these buttons can be 3D printed to allow for even more customisation. However, all the buttons included in the box are enough for most users..

See you later.😇😍
