Bulky powerbanks with a ton of juice bring a decent level of utility to the table, but carrying them is an encumbrance, whether it is in your hand or shoved in your pocket. Also, imagine the weight when you have to attach a cable to it while connected to the phone or tablet? Thankfully, the TORRAS AirVolt solves both of these complaints by offering a sleek alternative with a 10,000mAh capacity, meaning that it has sufficient juice to deliver multiple full charges. Best of all, you get two attached braided USB-C cables, all for the price of $50.00 after a […]

The Android smartphone market is littered with manufacturers to the point where they need to invest millions in discerning features and ‘over the top’ marketing to generate sales. Even after that, the margins often feel like it isn’t worth the effort. To make matters worse, the ongoing DRAM shortage has forced all companies to introduce price hikes, which will consequently make their devices more expensive and lower consumer interest. Fortunately, a tipster reveals that, after closer inspection, a lot of these companies feel that the demand for high-end camera sensors is declining, and since these parts are more expensive than slightly […]

Samsung might opt for a silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery within its next-gen flagships, including the Galaxy S27 Ultra. Even so, the South Korean tech behemoth is apparently playing it very safe and refusing to go wild with 10,000mAh-like battery capacities for its Galaxy S27 series. While this tidbit might disappoint some, given the fact that 6,000mAh+ battery capacities are increasingly becoming the norm with Chinese smartphones, we contend that the rumored 5,800mAh battery for the Galaxy S27 Ultra will be more than enough, courtesy of two key innovations. Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to sport the uber-efficient M16 OLED screen, with overall […]

The introduction of the unified memory architecture changed the course of the MacBook’s future forever, and while other chipmakers are playing ‘catch-up,’ Apple continues to race ahead of the competition, taking advantage of the current memory crisis by refusing to charge a premium for its products. With this new design, the Cupertino firm is expected to jump several positions in the notebook market, reaching the number three spot by beating Dell. However, a research firm believes that one key decision from Apple enabled the latter to reach new heights, and that was the MacBook Neo release. The lower priced notebook market was […]

A base Mac mini was ordered by an Apple customer in the middle of March, and given that these compact machines were already scarce to begin with, it was estimated to reach the owner within four weeks. Unfortunately, bad luck can find anyone at a terrible place and time; the person expecting the Mac mini was disappointed to find that FedEx didn’t leave the product at the door but instead in a public area, where it was waiting to be picked up. However, while the thief was swift in depriving a customer of one of the most difficult computers to […]

The pricing of the new Steam Controller has just been leaked by YouTuber Techy Talk, who uploaded a review of Valve's new device earlier. Some Internet user quickly downloaded it and reuploaded it on Streamable, which means we have access to information on the price and the reviewer's first impressions. The price is $99. This means the Steam Controller sits $25 above the DualSense's price, but, according to the reviewer, it offers substantially more functionality. Their conclusion is that no single controller can be perfect for every use case, but for anyone wanting one device that handles both gaming and […]
