iPhone Duo is more complete than Galaxy Z Fold8, Sony and Apple are more complete than other brands.

## **Visible difference: screen border and sticker** Open the iPhone Duo, look at the internal screen, you will see that the distance from the edge of the display area to the outside black border is very small, I estimate about 0.8mm, and most importantly, it is even: running around all four sides keeping the same distance. The Apple sticker covering the screen also fits right at the edge of the display area. Moving to Z Fold8, the distance...

Back to using Sony Xperia 1 VIII: I respect Sony!

It's been 3 years since I returned to an Xperia, this time the Xperia 1 vIII, a phone that has always been said to be "not for the masses", priced at 39 million VND. Looking at the price, looking at what Sony has, that's true, but using Sony to understand, the feeling it brings is very different from other machines available. Xperia 1 VIII attracts me because of its design. Although looking at the renderings, I don't think it's beautiful,...

Buy 16 Pro Max on sale day November 11

As an iPhone user for a long time, nearly 10 years, although I don't use all models, I have experience that if there is no urgent need, you should buy an iPhone about 2-3 months after launch, when the price and supply have stabilized and especially the hardware and software are better completed. This time, I bought the iPhone 16 Pro max at an e-commerce platform on the November 11 sale to replace the 15 Pro max. Although I have seen many...

The touchscreen MacBook Pro is a winner

I keep forgetting the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display has a touchscreen. I’ve been testing this new laptop, one of the most impressive Apple has ever created, for the better part of a week. I can’t *stop* noticing some of its other features: the slimmer design, the improved display, the Dynamic Island that somehow catches my eye more than the notch ever did. But I keep forgetting that as I go about my day, I can now reach out and poke the...

What is AVS on iPhone 18 Pro, do I need to buy a new charger?

Many users have become curious about this technology, so what exactly is AVS and how does it change your charging experience? Fast charging on phones is nothing new.

Apple is always slower and more cautious. Last year's iPhone 17 Pro needed about...

MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display review: Lighter, brighter, but the touchscreen doesn't add much

# MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display review: Lighter, brighter, but the touchscreen doesn't add much It’s a notable evolution of the MacBook Pro at a much higher price.

2026 iPad mini review: Maximizing the mini

The iPad mini has long felt like a niche product. It has earned a reputation as a quality tablet for people who want something small, comfortable, and portable, but its small screen and comparatively limited processing power have restricted its appeal, making it best suited to watching media or playing games. With the 2026 version, the iPad mini is more competitive than ever. Its chip is current, its speakers are better, and, most...

I rarely even sit at my office desk, which has done wonders for my posture. # The new iMac is a good desktop computer that needs a redesign And boy has it gotten expensive.
