 Earlier this year Microsoft announced Windows 11 a complete redesign of the windows environment with enhanced security. This was surprising as Windows 10 was supposed to be the last windows ever and we were just supposed to see updates to this version of the OS. Microsoft has made it clear with products like Microsoft 365 to make windows more like a service rather than just an operating system.  " "Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because  Windows 10  is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10." That was the message from Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist  speaking at the company's Ignite conference  this week." (Warren, 2015)  Some of the big highlights include  -Removal of the live tiles from the start menu  -Relocation of the taskbar icons to be more centered (similar to what you see in MacOS and many Linux distros)  -Integration of Microsoft Teams (Like they previously did with...

  Making the most of my iPad Pro Recently I decided to look into something more portable than my work laptop, but still with the features and processor power to get a lot of what I wanted done. What I landed on is the new iPad Pro combined with the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case. You can read more about my thoughts on the iPad Pro in another post, today I want to focus on my experience with the keyboard case that is currently retailing for $199.99. Please note I purchased the iPads and the cases myself and these were not provided by any company for the purpose of a review. In this post, I want to talk about the accessory that has changed the way I use my iPad completely and was a significant upgrade over my old Apple Smart Keyboard folio I used with my IPad Air 2020 as shown below. The Apple folio case was slightly cheaper at a retail price of $179.00 available on Apple’s website here. The Smart Keyboard folio is great for light typing and emphasizes portability over typi...

Hey Everyone, Another post and another video. So a nice thing about EA's Origin service is they let you play a trial of certain games to see if you are interested in purchasing or not. So recently I took a 48 hour trial of Titanfall because I'm thinking of buying Titanfall 2 somewhere in the next few weeks. This was my first attempt at using Shadow Play to record gameplay and I have to say its not bad with recent updates. BUT for whatever reason it will not carry over the FPS counter in the corner which for me was very counter productive but for the average user I don't think thats an issue at all. Sorry if the length of the video is a little past the 10 minute mark, but what I am really trying to accomplish with my Youtube channel and blog is to give real world results. You see some benchmarking videos and there are nothing but graphs. That's great and all but sometimes I am ok with 40 FPS as long as I can play smoothly with no stutter. Also some of us just pl...

Hey Everyone, A post on my new set up will be coming soon. But I was really excited to start playing some games on it, so i recorded a quick video of me playing GTA V with my new hardware. This video really gave me the results I was hoping to see. Too commonly people tell you, i5 minimum for gaming, i3's wont hold up. but that's just not true. If you are willing to play some games on medium or high an i3 is plenty in a lot of circumstances. I was able to average 60 FPS in GTA V on high with an i3-4150 and a GTX 750 Ti. My settings are in the beginning of the video. If you like the video please subscribe to my youtube channel and if you like my posts please follow my blog and spread the word it would be much appreciated.

Hey Everyone! So since I am very new to this and don't have any sponsorship's I have attached a video from someone who does. A long time Tech tuber Linus Tech Tips. I take no credit for this video or its content I am just posting it here in case you aren't subscribed. And if you aren't I really would consider it he has some good reviews. Hopefully we start hearing about pricing and a release date soon. For myself and hopefully to make this blog interesting I am going to invest in either a Ryzen or a Kabylake build. If you have a preference on what you'd like to see please leave a comment 

Hey Everyone, I want to start this post off saying Happy New Years! Hope everyone had a good one. Today I wanted to talk about the Cryorig C7 low profile CPU cooler. I recently bought this a few weeks ago as a replacement for my Intel stock cooler. I chose to go with a low profile cooler because I am using a Corsair Air 240 as a case and it has height issues with coolers over 120mm. Which is why you typically see these with AIO (All In One for those new to cpu coolers) liquid coolers. A link to the item on Amazon will be included at the end of the post. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how efficient and quiet this little cooler is. The packaging was very well done and very compact for as much as they managed to fit into this box. It comes with thermal paste which so far haven't had any problems with. A hex driver to tighten the bolts on the included retainer plate. Necessary mounting hardware for a variety of motherboards and of course an instruction manual.  ...
