For all Apple users out there - I'm pretty sure you know the familiar feel of damaged Apple hardware and the cost to replace them. I mean seriously, some of the cost to fix up older iPhones costs as much as a new budget Android smartphone! Fret not - Machines Protection Plan, or MPP for short, is here to save your iDevices. With some extra surcharge, of course.

MOBA games on smartphones have really taken the whole mobile gaming scene by storm. Let's start first with Mobile Legends - a game that popped out of nowhere and gained a large player base all of a sudden. So much so that they even caught the attention of Riot, makers of LoL, and sued Mobile Legends for infringement. Not long after that, Garena's mobile MOBA appeared - and it's called Arena of Valor, or AOV for short.

Throughout the year of 2017, we came across some of Apacer's announcements for external hard disks, or eHDD, which are targeting a niche market. We even reviewed the AC730 - a military-grade shockproof and waterproof eHDD. Of course, Apacer isn't stopping there and now they've announced the Apacer AC631.

Another day, another gaming peripheral - and this time it's from Cooler Master again. It's the MasterMouse MM520 and MM530, both with a very different design and function from each other, yet priced the same at RM169.

Over the course of the last 24 hours or so, a lot has happened regarding Gamer Zone, DXRacer, and a particular someone with the name Vince Lim. There is this big DXRacer and Gamer Zone debacle The story here is quite convoluted, so let's understand it part by part.

It seems like the norm these days to have smartphones to have what is now dubbed as the "FullView Display" since the launch of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ that we reviewed earlier this year. That longer display definitely fills in the extra gaps at the top and bottom, giving a more whole user experience overall. The Nubia Z17s is a new flagship smartphone with said display, and it's priced at RM2,599.

As the cumulative size of data around the globe grows exponentially, we need to have enough storage capacity to archive at least a good chunk of it. Home storage solutions are quite an issue - as there aren't many options other than internal/external hard disks and the most recent addition - network attached storages. Western Digital wants to change that by bringing the My Cloud Home - a stripped down version of a NAS for those who don't need the extra features, Sandisk iXpand Base which is an external storage-cum-charger, and a 400GB microSD card.

Over the course of these few years, we've seen many smartphone brands come and go. The most recent brand that we've encountered is Infinix Mobile - and we even reviewed the NOTE4 PRO. It's a promising smartphone, but the software is wonky. Though, Infinix got the hardware pretty much on point. And they're also joining the 11Street Flash Sales on the 20th and 22nd November!

Cooler Master has been bringing us quite a lot of new cases over the course of this year - and they look great. With the latest addition of the MasterBox MB600L into the family, one can only drool over its elegance and the price.
