Looking for iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3? Well, you are in luck now. Malaysia Apple Online Store listed the prices last week. And it is now available to buy. Isn’t that great? Well, I will consider buying iPad Air 2 to replace my old iPad 3 if I have extra money. And if iOS 8 is better than Android 5.0 Lollipop. Read lot of people complaining about Wi-Fi issue on iOS 8. Hmm… Jailbreak Apple product is another reason from holding me back. You won’t be so lucky to jailbreak every version of iOS. On iPad Air 2 hardware itself, it is really a nice improvement from my existing model. I can surely enjoy better gaming experience. And faster performance from the latest A8X processor. Too bad that the price is not cheap. 64GB model is sold at RM1929. Apple should remove 16GB model and replace with 32GB model at RM1599. 16GB won’t be enough for games nowadays. If so, I will be a happy new iPad Air 2 user then.
Extreme Gaming & Video Editing Computer System
Is PC industry dying? Nope, I just upgraded my extreme gaming and video editing computer system. Previous PC system serves me well for the past 6 years. And it is still able to do basic office, blogging and surfing tasks. But slow for 3D gaming and of course video, photo editing as well. There are still tasks that cannot be done by tablet and smartphone. So here you are – my latest extreme gaming and video editing computer system. You will need a powerful multi core CPU for fast video editing. Enough memory so that it won’t slow down when hard drive page file kicks in. SSD to speed up the whole process as normal HDD is usually the bottleneck that slows the whole system down. Therefore, slow HDD but big capacity is used for data storage and backup only. And SSD is for Windows OS and storage for ongoing tasks. Fast GPU is required for extreme gaming of course. And finally you will need good cooling system to let you increase performance further by overclock them…
Access other PC with Chrome Remote Desktop
Remote desktop function is available on Windows platform long time ago. I always use it when I was a system engineer to troubleshoot server issue remotely. A great tool for IT support. Personally, I prefer Windows Remote Desktop function as it is a lot faster than realtime screen sharing mode like VNC provides. Both have pros and cons. Realtime screen sharing mode is preferred when other remote access to your PC for support / troubleshooting because you can see what he is going at the same time. Guest what? Google has a same tool too – Chrome Remote Desktop.
