When it comes to certain brands, you never have to worry about a lack of leaks. This time around, we got a new one about an upcoming Huawei laptop and it's an interesting one. If the reports are true, then Huawei could be working on a new laptop PC that will have a 'floating' 3K display.

In an ever-competitive PC market, Japanese companies have found it hard to match up and have been dropping out of the race. Sony did so a few years ago when it sold its Vaio business and now another company is following suit. Toshiba officially made the announcement last week, confirming that it has sold all its remaining Dynabook stakes to Sharp.

5G technology is becoming a must for the latest smartphones to have these days. Although the communication technology has not been widely implemented yet, it is still a good idea to future proof the devices. Other than smartphones, Intel and MediaTek are also reported to be launching their 5G solution for laptops too.

ASUS recently announced new Zephyrus series, STRIX series, as well as the Zephyrus Duo 15 gaming laptops starting from RM6199 with some of the laptops coming equipped with tech specs such as an Intel Core i7-10875H processor and up to an RTX2080 Super. Unfortunately, some of the laptop’s price has not been announced yet so you might want to stay tuned for that if you’re interested in the new gaming laptops from ASUS.

MSI Malaysia has officially announced that you can send your MSI laptops to any of their service centres across Malaysia for a free health checkup to ensure that it is performing the best that it can. But that’s not all, by sending your laptop for the checkup, you will also be eligible for a free MSI Lucky Keychain as well as a chance to win an MSI mechanical keyboard, sport bottle, figurines, as well as gaming bags.

Nowadays, many smartphone manufacturers are giving foldable devices a try with different ideas of folding style. Although the foldable smartphones are still not as popular as those standard ones, it's always exciting to see how different brands show up with their own unique foldable device. LG is a brand that is not active in the trend, but they have recently patented a smartphone that is not only foldable but also rollable.

Sometimes, not everybody needs a laptop that comes equipped with high-end tech specs that allows them to edit videos or play the most graphic-intensive games with ease. Instead, some users would rather have a laptop suited for general use such as handling documents, browsing the web, and also light picture editing.

This laptop not only has to have a long battery life, but it needs to be lightweight as well in order to be easily carried around while travelling. With that said, Lenovo unveiled the ThinkBook 14 from the price of RM3249 which fits the criteria mentioned above. Let’s have a closer look, shall we?

Last time, we have heard news like OPPO is going to build their own chipset while Apple will be building 5G modems for the iPhones. These days, it seems like it is a good idea for tech companies to supply themselves components that are needed to produce their products, not to say after witnessing Huawei coming through the trade war. Going back to Apple, the tech giant is rumoured to launch new MacBooks without Intel processors this year, and will use self-made processors instead.

As online content these days such as videos, 3D models, and special effects become more and more sophisticated, so are the equipment needed to produce these masterpieces. As a content creator, I would want to make sure that the laptop you are using is up to the task of creating complicated content without crashing.

Thankfully, MSI released a laptop called the P75 Creator, which as the name suggests, is focused more towards aspiring content creators such as myself, who are keen on creating content to amaze the masses. In terms of the price of the laptop, it can be bought from MSI’s official website from the price of RM7499 and it comes complete with a two-year warranty to boot. Let's take a closer look at our variant, which is the MSI P75 Creator 9SD.

Lenovo has officially announced that the Lenovo Yoga C640 is currently available for purchase in Malaysia, and the price of the laptop starts from the price of RM3799. The aforementioned laptop is not only lightweight and stylish but it also allows the user to convert the product into a tablet simply by flipping the touchscreen display around.
