To quickly recap, the signature of the Predator Helios 700 is its HyperDrift sliding keyboard. You can slide it down to expose the 4th Gen AeroBlade 3D, and the copper heat pipes that make up the Helios 700’s cooling system. Doing this not only improves airflow to the cooling system, it also automatically overclocks the laptop. It’s also packed to the brim with top-of-the-line components as well. It’s got an Intel Core i9 processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 GPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and 1TB of storage in the form of two PCIe NVMe SSDs....

Hence, it is rather interesting that Acer has equipped an OLED panel which is usually considered a premium feature into its lower mid-range model, the Swift 3. Simply dubbed as the Swift 3 OLED, the new model was one of several new products that were announced at the first next@acer Global Press Conference (GPC) for 2022 last night. [Image: Acer.]The laptop which weighs around 1.4kg and has a thickness of 17....

Recently, Lowyat.net (and a few other journalists from around the SEA region) got the opportunity to have a conference call interview with Adam Devine. Devine, who comes off as a genuinely nice guy, had a lot of share about the series, among other stuff as well. Religion is always a tricky topic to navigate. How do you think the show gets away with mocking the hypocrisy of these megachurches without alienating certain portions of the audiences?...

“Our Virtual Allstar AVA offers a high standard of customer service via artificial intelligence,” stated group chief customer happiness officer Adam Geneave. “AVA already handles millions of cases annually across other platforms such as Facebook, our app and airasia.com so it makes absolute sense to make her available on WhatsApp where there are more than two billion users worldwide.” He added that AVA currently handles more than 80-percent of customer cases, while the remainder are transferred to a Live Agent who assists directly....

The platform is asking F&B operators across Singapore to participate starting now, promising those signing up before 1 March 2021 a special sign-on commission rate from as low as 8% for the month of March 2021. airasia food said that its normal commission rate is only 15%. Indeed, the food delivery service seems quite determined to emphasise its commission rate as a deal-clincher for prospective merchants. Fernandes called it the “lowest commission rate in town,” a point repeatedly echoed in the company’s comments to the press and promotional materials....

“AirAsia airlines have already paid back nearly everyone,” said Capital A CEO Tony Fernandes in the statement. “Now that travel restrictions have been removed substantially in our major markets, we saw that many of our guests have already utilised their credit shells to start travelling again.” Credit shells, which Fernandes claims to be the preferred compensation choice, is an open ticket that is issued to customers when an airline holds on to the booking amount in the form of credit....

To be precise, the leaked images aren’t of the iPhone 12 itself, but rather, they appear to be very high-resolution pictures of the phone’s alleged A14 RAM component. That is expected to be fitted inside the phone. First posted on Twitter, it should be pointed out that the source of the leak, a Mr. White (@laobaiTD), is supposedly well-known among the leakster community. Having shared somewhat accurate information and images of unreleased Apple products in the past....

The discovery of the A770’s performance details was first posted on Twitter by the online repository, Benchleaks (@BenchLeaks), along with details of the other components that the card was supposedly tested with. Based on the list, the A770 desktop GPU was paired with an intel Core i5-9600K, and that the card had 12.7GB of graphics memory allocated, which could translate to 16GB of GDDR6 memory. Further, the card is listed as having a maximum clock of 2....

While the tags went largely unnoticed, they clearly suggest that Apple had intended on announcing a new MacBook and M1 successor during the keynote, but decided to scrap it at the 11th hour. Having said that, the tags do corroborate rumours of an enhanced “X” variant of the M1 SoC instead of moving on to the M2. As a quick primer, it was previously reported that Apple has redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros in its pipelines and that they would launch “as early as this summer....

According to leaks involving the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo gaming laptop, the Taiwanese company’s top-tier gaming laptop is going to be fitted with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU. However, the mobile graphics will be based on the GA104 GPU, not the GA102 GPU that is used in the desktop version of the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090. To that end, this means that the RTX 3080 Mobile is relegated to using GDDR6 memory only and based on the reports, it will have 16GB worth of GDDR6 graphics memory....

Images of the supposed WH-1000XM4 were posted via Twitter by Mishaal Rhaman (@MishaalRahman). It’s the first time we’ve seen any physical depictions of the headphones in the flesh. In comparison to its predecessor, the headphone cups appear to be slightly thicker. Otherwise, the overall design of the headset looks identical to the last three generations of the series. h/t @evefavretto pic.twitter.com/sjXb4XaCN9 — Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) March 6, 2020 Sadly, there’s not a whole lot of detail regarding the WH-1000XM4’s specification or hardware....

The phone will reportedly sport a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display, up to 12GB of RAM, and between 256GB and 512GB of storage.

Armed with more Compute Cores, the card virtually shares similar hardware specifications with the 6800XT. Of course, the evergreen question still remains: how much of a boost, exactly, do the extra Compute Cores and Stream Processors give? Specifications In a side-by-side comparison, there are a couple of points that set the 6900XT apart from the 6800XT, the important points being the number of Compute Units (CUs), Stream Processors, and Ray Accelerators (RA) are higher for the former....

The leaked roadmap allegedly came from an internal document within AMD that was passed on to Steve Burke, Editor-in-Chief at Gamer Nexus. According to Burke, the slide suggests that DDR5 RAM will make its debut in 2022. Moreover, the platform at that time will retain the PCIe 4.0 interface and but should be paired with AMD’s supposed Zen4 architecture by then. Unfortunately, Burke is unable to share the exact slide that mentions DDR5, saying that it’s likely to have been marked by AMD....

The event was mostly attributed to Redditors using a sub-Reddit called “WallStreetBets” to promote the buying of GameStop stocks. Last month, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman told the US Congress that bots didn’t play a “significant” role in GameStop-related activity on Reddit. Meanwhile, cyber security firm PiiQ Media found that things were different on other major social media platforms. The firm examined posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube dated right before the buying frenzy through the middle of February....

Originally highlighted by Amanz, it was first noted that the database is being offered through the dark web. However, our search showed that the listing took place at a well-known database marketplace forum instead which is much easier to access. In case this sounds rather familiar to you, this is because something similar happened before in September 2021 albeit at a different website called Raidforums. However, this particular marketplace has since been taken down through a global operation led by the United States earlier this year....

According to prominent Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, the Trump administration’s new EO could see Apple’s shipment of iPhone within China take a dive between 25% and 30%. That is a tremendous projected loss for the fruit company, and for several reasons to boot. The first and most obvious reason being the sales figures in China; as it stands, the country’s highly regulated internet policies only allows certain apps to be used within the country, and both WeChat and TikTok are widely used by its citizens....

According to Gurman, an iMac fitted with an M3 is due to be released at the end of next year at the earliest. Other than that, he also predicts that Apple will eventually launch a new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini with an M2 chip, which he previously said would be unveiled later this year. Moreover, Gurman says that Apple’s M2 chip series will also include an M2 Pro and M2 Max for new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, as well as a dual M2 Ultra chip for a new Mac Pro....
