THE REVIEW

The Sony Xperia ZX models began with a bold and boxy design. but tended to feel a bit bigger and thicker than they actually were. The Xperia XZ continues Sony's recent trend of softening this style. This time around you get a metal back, metal sides and ever-so-slightly curved 2.5D glass on the front.

PRO's

very sturdy

water resistant
USB Type-C

CON's

 mediocre camera

not cheap

hardly an improvement

finger print magnet

RECOMMENDATION

 If you don't mind the price, just go ahead buy it its an awesome phone, but there are phones out there that offers flagship phones specs for a fraction of the price, so think about it

GTX 1050 specs and review

SPECS:
CUDA Cores: 640
Core Clock: 1354MHz
Boost Clock: 1455MHz
VRAM: 2GB GDDR5
TFLOP: 1.86
Memory Clock: 7Gbps
Memory Bus Width: 128-bit
Memory Bandwidth: 112 GB/s
TDP: 75W
Transistors: 3.3b
Manufacturing process: Samsung 14nm FinFET
Power connector: None

THE REVIEW

Overall, the GTX 1050 ends up being a few percent faster than the GTX 950, which isn't much. The GTX 1050 also beats the RX 460, which is probably a more important win even when that card has twice as much VRAM. But that also depends on what games you're playing. Deus Ex, Doom, and Hitman all run better on the RX 460, thanks to DX12/Vulkan support, favoring AMD by 5-20 percent.

PRO's 

1080p medium gaming, Efficient and cheap ,cheaper version of the GTX 950

CON's

2GB VRAM should worry you [lols]

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend this to budget gamer who want decent 1080p gaming

raspberry pi zero specs and review

raspberry pi zero specs

THE REVIEW

When you open the box the 1st thing to notice about the Zero is how truly shockingly tiny it is. It’s 65mm x 30mm, and you can literally hold it in the palm of your hand without it touching the sides. It’s tiny. And in this small board you have everything you need to run a decent desktop computer.

PRO's

CHEAP, TINY

CON's

you will spend more on the peripherals, no built in Ethernet port

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend this to people who wants to make their own retro emulation machine. Recommended also for  students who want to learn about GPIO's and other automation stuff you can do with the ZERO.

AMD a10-7890k APU specs and review

a10-7890k APU specs

THE REVIEW

AMD A10-7890K is an AMD Accelerated Processing Unit for socket FM2+ platform. It replaces the A10-7870K, which was AMD flagship APU. The A10-7890K APU has a  theoretical 1.02 TFLOPS of compute performance, crossing the 1TFLOPS threshold.  4.1GHz base frequency and screaming 4.3GHz peak Turbo Core clock rate is the bundled Wraith cooler. It offers greatly improved thermal performance compared to the old stock heat sink and fan.The processor will fit into 95 Watt TDP.

PRO's

This APU has the highest base frequency, awesome 720p gaming APU, decent 1080p, great for small form factor pc

CON's

High 95 watts TDP, price is too far from the 7860k for a only slight performance increase

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend this for a person making a super small form factor pc and wants the best APU out there, but if you just want to build a normal pc just go get the A10-7860k its cheaper and has low TDP.

AMD a10-7860k APU specs and review

AMD FM2+ A10-7860K specs

THE REVIEW

This processor is a model called Godavari which is released February. it has 65 watts TDP which is awesome for a processor with a integrated graphics with about .8teraflop. this processor in my opinion offer the best balance on price, performance and power consumption. The 7800 series APU is based on AMD's Kaveri architecture bringing the CPU and the GPU even closer together. Kaveri aims at several segments in the processor business like notebooks, desktops, embedded and even server solution. 

PRO's

Awesome price to performance ratio, low power, .8teraflops which is good for 1366x768 meduim to high settings on triple A titles[ tested Metal gear Phantom Pain runs awesome at 768p], great console killer.

CON's

cant get decent graphical settings on 1080p on current triple A titles.

Recommendation

 I recommend this for budget gamers who want to play all the current triple A titles at 1366x768 or 720p and want to save up on electric bills, this is great too on those small pc builds. And as i have said this is a great CONSOLE KILLER because of its ability to run current triple A games at 1366x768 at meduim to high settings.

RX 460 or RX 470 or RX 480?

AMD RADEON RX 460 or RX 470 or RX 480?

HERE ARE THE REASONS WHY YOU NEED ONE OF THIS VIDEO CARDS

RX 460 - it has about 2.2 teraflops and its recommended for E-sports gamer, people who plays a lot of the popular titles like dota 2, Overwatch and those kind of games at high setting in 1080p.

Advantages - cheapest among the 3 cards and the sweet spot for e-sports gaming
Disadvantages - meduim setting at 1080p on triple A titles


RX 470 - Up to 4.9 teraflops and is recommended for 1080 ultra settings on triple A titles with an ok VR performance

Advantages - sweet spot for max settings 1080p
Disadvantages -

RX 480 - Up to 5.9 teraflops and is recommended for decent 1440p settings on triple A titles and nice performance on VR for a cheap price compare to the competition 

Advantages - peace of mind for about 4years++ everything will play good on 1080p
Disadvantages - loud fan, power draw issue [ fixed by amd using the latest drivers]

Recommendation

I recommend RX 470 simply because this is the best among the 3 for price to performance ratio and if you are like me and most of the other pc gamers out there that are still or just upgraded to a 1080p monitor and on a budget, the rx470 is the best choice for playing 1080p max settings

but if the price of the rx 470 and rx 480 is close, so close that you dont mind paying the extra go for RX 480
