Why I Chose Keychron B1 Pro As My Travel Keyboard

Sun, 01 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Apple Magic Keyboard: None of the function row keys work on Android. The typing feel is different to typing on Macbooks. It feels like tapping on a table, which decreases my typing speed and accuracy.

Pros: sleekest and most travel friendly

Logitech MX Keys Mini: The function row doesn’t have all the function keys I want, and there is no solution to remap those keys at the hardware level. The actuation force is a little too high; I can see my hand getting tired after a long typing session. The pink didn’t look as premium as I expected. The back of the keyboard is a bit too thick and the keyboard a bit too heavy. There is no wired or 2.4g option, only bluetooth.

HP Chromebase Was Perfect

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The HP Chromebase was so perfect, and I only realized that now. Recently I’ve been into Googlebooks because of how it’s based on android with an emphasis on desktop. It has always been my goal to use a versatile lightweight OS that can serve both my tablet and desktop needs. HP Chromebase seems like this that sits on the desk.

The hardware is quite literally the dream hardware that I would look for on a desktop. 4 sided symmetrical bezels, touchscreen, built in speaker, sturdy stand, rotated vertically, lightweight OS. It is very rare to get all of these in one package, and the HP Chromebase seems to be the only all-in-one that checks all of these boxes to this day.

I Think I Would Want a TV That Apple Makes

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I can’t help but wonder what Apple can bring to the table with a television. With Apple’s standards of premium hardware, I believe a TV that Apple would deliver would be much different to what’s currently on the market.

If Apple made a TV, it would probably have 4-sided symmetrical bezels, which is currently rare in the current TV market, even on the most expensive flagships. The only TVs right now with 4-sided symmetrical bezels are the designer ones, and they aren’t exactly thin bezels as well. I just feel like if Apple made a TV they would prioritize the TV looking premium rather than just the panel itself. I don’t even think they should compete with the flagships by introducing a super color-accurate panel, but they should just put out something that’s different to the rest of the TV that’s on the market with their standards of a premium design.

Why I Agree With The Macbook Pro Touchscreen

It seems like the internet is having very mixed opinions about the touchscreen on the new Macbook Pro. A group of people are saying that it goes against Apple’s own standards, linking to what Steve Jobs said on stage about how a vertical touchscreen doesn’t ergonomically make sense. They also just do not see the point of a touchscreen and do not see themselves using it as they feel like they have been fine without it all these years without one.

I Thought Google Books Could Finally Be the Endgame 2-in-1; Instead, Google Is Recreating the Surface Pro Problem

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

TL;DR: Google solved the android browser problem by putting ChromeOS Chrome on Android, only to recreate the Windows tablet problem: actively blocking touch-friendly Google Android apps and ignoring basic tablet gestures.

I am not exaggerating when I say I have been waiting for a platform like Googlebook OS for years. Over the past few years, I have been looking for the perfect 2-in-1 device where I don’t have to sacrifice either the laptop or tablet experience, and Googlebook seems like the platform that can provide me with my endgame machine (Yes, I am one of the people who were disappointed by the left out of the Lenovo Googlebook detachable at launch). However, with what Googlebook OS is right now, it seems like it’s a platform that’s lacking in both the laptop and tablet experience. It lacks in the laptop experience as it is already expected because it’s a whole new OS based on android, but surprisingly it’s also lacking in the tablet aspect because of some software decisions of Google and a clear lack of care on the tablet side.

為什麼我不用摺疊機

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

我之前有考慮過摺疊機，但後來覺得買摺疊機不如買一隻手機再加一台小平板。

摺疊機必須在手機或平板的比例之間做妥協。要嘛打開後太方，要嘛外面的螢幕太寬
裡面螢幕大小有限，加上比較方的比例，看影片常常有很粗的黑邊，結果也沒真正享受到大螢幕看影片的優勢
電池是同一顆。當你用手機時你在耗平板的電，當你用平板時你也在耗手機的電。更不用說摺疊機為了顧及厚度不能做太厚，能塞進去的電池容量本來就有限
裡面螢幕沒辦法貼玻璃保護貼
摺疊機的主要優勢是方便攜帶，但其實小平板加一台手機不會差到太多，一樣都可以放到口袋
分開來買，價格還比買一隻摺疊機便宜
