Deep down, we all want a gaming laptop. But unfortunately, not everyone has the budget for one. Thankfully, brands do offer more “budget-friendly” options, but lately, even these have also become a lot more expensive. However, it seems ASUS wants to change that with the launch of the new V16/X16 series. These laptops are quite affordable, starting at just PHP 49,995, but still pack decent hardware to match.

Lenovo is a brand you’d typically associate with laptops, computers, or even peripherals. If you’re a gamer, maybe the brand’s gaming division – Legion – sounds more familiar. However, outside of these, Lenovo also offers tablets. However, the tablet we are reviewing today isn’t something I was expecting especially from Lenovo. The Idea Tab Pro isn’t your typical Lenovo tablet. That’s because it doesn’t run on Windows OS. Instead, it runs on Android.

Do you still remember the time when Apple still offered the 11-inch MacBook Air? What about netbooks that were around 11 inches big at most? Sadly those days are long past. Instead, the smallest laptops you’ll find on the market nowadays are 13 inches in size. But if you really just want a tiny laptop similar to those sold in the past, and branding doesn’t matter, then the Chuwi MiniBook X might just be what you’re looking for.

Imagine being able to repair your phone at home without having to bring it to a service center. Sounds great, right?

Xiaomi 15 vs Xiaomi 14: What’s new » YugaTech | Philippines Tech News & Reviews

Mar 27, 2025 | yugatech.com | Jose Altoveros

When boss Abe first handed me our review unit of the Xiaomi 15, I was a bit confused. I thought he mistakenly gave me the Xiaomi 14 since it looked exactly the same. But then he also handed me the Xiaomi 14 to write this article, and well, let’s just say I became even more confused. The two phones looked almost identical to each other. While I know there are upgrades, it is a bit difficult to figure out what’s new, at least just by looking at them from the outside.
Xiaomi 15 Review » YugaTech | Philippines Tech News & Reviews

Gadget ReviewsSmartphones “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.”To a certain extent, this idiom is true. Why change things if it works right? For example, look at Porsche with the 911. In the tech world, you see this with Apple’s iPhone lineup. Even Samsung is doing something similar with their Galaxy S series smartphone. There are barely any exterior changes on the Galaxy S25 Series coming from the S24 and even the S23 series before.

Feb 7, 2025 | yugatech.com | Jose Altoveros

The ASUS Expertbook series is mainly aimed as a business laptop. The model lineup is known for being reliable and having a long battery life. However, the downside is that it’s mainly aimed at productivity tasks, nothing more. With the new ASUS Expertbook P5 though, the ever-reliable business laptop is now more capable than before, and it can do more than just get work done reliably. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra chipsets, we were able to experience just how capable this laptop can be.
ASUS Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) Review » YugaTech | Philippines Tech News & Reviews

Jan 27, 2025 | yugatech.com | Jose Altoveros

The Zenbook has always been one of the most popular ASUS laptops for those who love to work on the go. It’s small, light, practical, and can handle most of your everyday productivity needs and more. That said, it wasn’t really the best for gaming, but hey at least you get work done. In late 2024, ASUS updated the Zenbook lineup with the new Zenbook 14 S. It featured a new processor and a slight redesign on the outside but still retained most of the aspects we loved about the Zenbook series.
