The AirPods Max (Sky Blue) – Unboxing and a Short Review

I know this is way past the AirPods Max’s launch period, but I was not able to have access to one until very recently. I have been testing it heavily for more than a week already, and I can not find anything bad about it (other than the price, which obviously is going to be […]

The Official Apple iPhone 12 mini Silicone Case with MagSafe Review

Apple has been making first party iPhone cases for several years by now, but I have largely steered clear of buying them due to their higher prices and lack of full coverage of the body (iPhone 6 to 11 cases). They offer less than ideal protection, does not show off the beauty of the iPhone […]

Benq PD3220U Monitor Review: Expensive, but Good Looking 4K Alternative to the Pro Display XDR

I was recently contacted about reviewing Benq’s 32 inch monitor the PD3220U which they are marketing towards Mac users and I thought, why not? It is not everyday a manufacturer agrees to loan you a brand new product for over a month to have you write a review when you only write about Apple stuff. […]

The iPhone XS Max review – Same old same old, but the price not so old

Price Having purchased my Silver 512GB XS Max for quite a bit lower than the local MSRP, I have to say that this is a worthwhile purchase at the price I bought the phone at. At the local MSRP though, the 512GB Max is probably not a worthy purchase, nor even a reasonable one. One […]

Probably the most elegant bag for the new 11-inch MacBook Air – Fabrix Cases’ The Satchel

I have been waiting to post this review for almost one whole year, and now is exactly the best time to release it – the 11-inch MacBook Air officially becomes Apple’s cheapest notebook, and with the Airs being the future of Apple’s notebook lineup, it seems very possibly that the 11-inch will easily become the […]

iPad 2 case review: The Joy Factory’s SmartFit 2

This is the first review I am doing for iPad 2 cases. I will write about my whole iPad 2 setup in a later post probably sometime next week. The iPad 2 cases are really interesting as compared to the earlier cases for the first generation iPad simply due to the existence of Apple’s Smart […]

iPad cases review: The Artisans Craftsmen’s Case for iPad

Right now you must be thinking, the Artisans Craftsmen’s case is totally inspired by the DODOcase. Not like being inspired by what many has termed “the best iPad case in 2010” is a bad thing. The Artisans Craftsmen’s Case attempt to improve upon the original DODOcase in construction and quality. Nevertheless I will attempt to […]

IPad cases review: Fabrix Booklet for iPad

I have to admit that I was kinda jealous when Lester from lesterchan.net posted that he received a free faux black Fabrix Booklet for simply being a “great supporter”. Thus I was so thrilled when I was presented with a brown “Classic Tan” Fabrix Booklet for review a week or two ago. Have always been […]
