Let's Talk Tech
I still get a LOT of comments on YouTube, from people who don’t really want to learn about current ARM PC offerings, but like to speculate and complain about what ARM PCs can’t do. Before we start getting X Elite hardware, here’s what older ARM PCs can do with SIGNIFICANTLY less powerful chips!
It’s a LOT more than you think… Continue reading “Windows On ARM Already Does That! Office Apps, Photo Editing, Gaming, and MORE!”
Microsoft is adding new “recommendations” to your Start Menu. Basically, we’re getting more ads in Windows 11. Thankfully it’s pretty easy to disable this new “feature” in your settings.
You just have to know where to look… Continue reading “Disable Windows 11 Start Menu Recommendations: Quickly Remove Those Ads!”
AceMagic AX16 Pro laptop review!
I’m a huge fan of mini PCs and this strategy of selling older laptop processors inside small desktop computers. AceMagic is trying the same formula with a laptop, and the specs are pretty decent.
Unfortunately, the brand has also been dealing with QA issues, and some models of AceMagic PC have been shipped with malware preinstalled…
Like this laptop I got…
So… How should we deal with this? Continue reading “AceMagic AX16 Pro Laptop: It happened to me too…”
I’ve been using a Windows on ARM tablet for months now, and the software is in GREAT shape. We really just need more powerful processors.
Who do you think will be first to ship a new ARM laptop running Windows? Continue reading “Windows on ARM is Ready For More Powerful Hardware”
AcePC WizBox G Review!
While I’ve been playing with more Mini PCs, this is one of the biggest jumps I’ve ever seen looking at price to performance. The new Ryzen 7 is no joke, the GPU is punchy, and it’s significantly more upgrade-able than a similarly specced Mac Mini.
This is a HUGE bang for buck system, AND I made it through the whole video without making a joke about the computer’s name! Continue reading “AcePC WizBox G Review: A Mini AMD Powerhouse! Ryzen 7735HS – Radeon 680M – Low Price!”
Geekom A5 Review!
This is a beast of a mini PC! Using a great little AMD chip, it’s sweet overkill for daily computing tasks. It’s exciting to see this performance in a computer this small, but the price tag is even nicer! Continue reading “Geekom A5 Mini PC Review: BIG POWER! Small Price! Better than a Mac Mini?”
AceMagic AD15 mini PC review!
It’s a small PC, but it’s not THAT small. It’s running an older 11th Gen Intel Core i7. It’s packed in one of my least favorite mini cases.
And yet… This might be a FANTASTIC home PC… IF you can shop it right…

We have to start this off asking a MAJOR question:
Putting my bias up front, I’m not particularly impressed with tablet conversations fixated on basic use and “hand feel”. I don’t think that’s good criteria to judge the value of a premium purchase. If a tablet costs as much or more than a game console, it needs to do more than just stream some Netflix and “feel nice”.
Tablets have incredible processors, and GPUs, and RAM, and storage, and batteries. In a remarkably thin shell, we’ll find performance that often rivals similarly priced Chromebooks. These products are terrific general compute platforms, and it seems like such a waste to relegate them to the lowest level use.
Tablets are “solutions in search of problems”, but they can solve a LOT more of those problems than many people realize.
Tablets can DO stuff, and these two are great examples of “doing stuff” slates. They make for an interesting comparison because they’re so different. Continue reading “Pixel Tablet vs Robo and Kala: A Totally UNFAIR Fight!”
