As per the recent announcement, Yes 5G is offering cloud gaming via NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW platform. Available exclusively to Yes 5G customers on Beta, we managed to try it out and while it certainly sounds promising, considering the state of our 5G networks we have to admit that we were somewhat hesitant. Read on to find out our first impressions of the NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform powered by Yes 5G and see if it’s the cloud gaming streaming platform for you.

Apple Arcade is not uncommon among iPhone users, but not many friends and family that I know of actually subscribe to it. And what about playing it on the Apple TV 4K? I think that's even rarer than a shiny Pokemon. In part 2 of our first impressions of the Apple TV 4K, I'll be talking mainly about the Apple Arcade. For the uninitiated, Apple Arcade is a mobile gaming subscription service by Apple that is priced at RM19.90/month. Is it worth it?

iOS 16 has been rolled out globally and iPhone users (from iPhone SE 2nd Gen and iPhone 8 series and newer) can now download it. If you haven't updated it and wanted to know how it is, you can proceed below to check out our first impressions of iOS 16.

Razer's productivity suite of products was recently released consisting of Razer mice, keyboard, webcam, mouse mat, smart glasses, laptop and more. We managed to get our hands-on with the Razer Pro Click Mini, the Razer Pro Type Ultra and the XXL Razer Pro Glide mouse mat but we thought it’d be interesting to see how they’d perform with a productivity smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra or the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Utilizing a Baseus USB Type C dock hub and an Acer K242HYL 24” FHD monitor, here’s our first impressions of the bare minimum Razer productivity suite using a smartphone. If you’re particularly interested in a setup like this then do read on for more details.

Acer recently revealed a number of new products that feature their silver ion antibacterial coating. This included their Acer Enduro Urban N3 laptop, Enduro Urban T3 tablet, TravelMate Spin P4, VE246Q monitor, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse KM501 and an Acer eco-shell jacket. 

For those wondering how exactly Acer’s antibacterial coating might feel, we managed to get some hands-on time with a 2.4Ghz wireless Acer mouse utilizing this same antibacterial coating. So, let’s get to the first impressions of both the mouse and Acer’s antibacterial coating.

Adobe Photoshop is nearly synonymous with awesome photo editing. However, with recent AI-powered features like Adobe Sensei, it is becoming a lot easier for image editors and photographers to edit better photos. Now, with Adobe Photoshop Camera, you can apply most of the Photoshop magic in real-time for out-of-this-world selfies and super surreal scenery. 

We managed to get some early preview time with the app, so here’s our first impressions of the Adobe Photoshop Camera. FYI, we tried it out for both Android and iOS, using a midranger like the Samsung Galaxy A50, a former flagship like the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and a more current flagship like the Apple iPhone 11. Check out Adobe’s trailer below and read on to find out more.
