Asus ROG Keris II Origin review: Premium quality

4 days ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsErgonomic and comfortable for right-handersGear Link web-based toolSolid build qualityThe Asus ROG Keris II Origin is an excellent, lightweight gaming mouse that feels similar to the ROG Keris II Ace. Both sport an asymmetrical design that's built for right-handers, come with an identical 42,000 DPI optical sensor, and are relatively compact and light. The Origin, though, is slightly heavier at 65g compared with the Ace (54g).

1 week ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsTop-notch noise cancellationReturn of the foldable hingeMagnetic clasp on carrying caseConsMore expensive than previous versionYou can once again fold Sony's flagship wireless headphones. After introducing a radical redesign back in 2022 with the previous WH-1000XM5 that removed this feature (and resulted in a larger carrying case), Sony has gone back to the drawing board, and reworked the foldable hinge design.

1 week ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsGood performance for its priceSolid metal chassisAll the essential ports are presentConsBattery life is not as good as its competitorsProne to fingerprint smudgesThe Asus Vivobook S14 (S3407) is what one would call a workhorse laptop. Meant for the mass market, such as students and office workers, it's thoroughly competent at everyday computing tasks, from editing documents to multimedia entertainment.
Honor Pad X9a review: Entry-level performance

1 week ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsGood 11.5-inch displaySleek solid unibody chassisHas cellular connectivityConsSlow processorMiddling battery lifeCheaper alternatives in the marketThe Honor Pad X9a is the more affordable of the two 11-inch Android tablets that the Chinese firm released in Singapore earlier this year. But having tried the higher-end Honor Pad V9, I'm not impressed by the X9a. Yes, it's cheaper (by almost S$200), and it has LTE connectivity, but the X9a is lacking in performance.
Vaio Vision+ 14 review: Clever stand

2 weeks ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsUnusual portrait dual-screen setupVery lightweightSolidly-built kickstandConsPriceyCan only adjust screen brightnessThe Vaio Vision+ 14 is the perfect accessory for the Vaio SX14-R laptop, or any 14-inch notebook. Not only is this portable monitor the right size, it's also really light, and comes with a carry case that converts into a stand that props up the display such that it “extends” the laptop screen upwards to create the illusion of a larger portrait-like display.

3 weeks ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsCrisp resolution and high refresh rateMini LED tech offers more vibrant visuals with deeper blacksCompetitive priceConsLacks features like USB hub and KVM switchClunky physical buttons for OSDThe Prism+ PG27X Pro is one of the first Mini-LED monitors from the Singapore brand. What this display technology offers over a traditional LCD panel is plenty of dimming zones that can lead to deeper blacks, as well as mitigate issues like blooming.
Honor Pad V9 review: Excellent mainstream tablet

3 weeks ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsExcellent for media consumptionLightweight and slim designDecent alternative to laptop with the right accessoriesCompetitive priceConsNo headphone jackKeyboard accessory feels flimsyThe Honor Pad V9 is a great Android tablet that feels more expensive than its mid-range specs suggest. While it may borrow some design elements from the iPad, it's a complete package, especially with its keyboard and pen accessories, that for some users, can be a lightweight alternative to a laptop.
MSI Titan 18 HX review: For bragging rights

3 weeks ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsCherry MX mechanical keyboardExcellent 4K Mini-LED screenFour SSD slots including a PCIe 5.0Top-notch specsConsNoisy fansExtremely priceyVery short battery lifeThe MSI Titan 18 HX is an absolute powerhouse of a gaming laptop. Not only does it pack the latest computing hardware, it also has state-of-the-art features such as a PCIe 5.0 SSD (there are three other PCIe 4.0 SSD slots), Thunderbolt 5 ports, and a Mini-LED 4K display. The price, though, is obscene.

ProsTop-notch gaming performanceExcellent OLED screenSeamless connection with HyperX gaming accessoriesConsRuns hotBloated Omen Gaming Hub appEverything's cranked up to the max with the HP Omen Max 16 (16-ah0096TX).

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge review: Price of lightness

1 month ago | canbuyornot.com | Vincent Chang

ProsIncredibly slim and lightExcellent 6.7-inch displayFlagship smartphone experience, for the most partConsNot for those with battery anxietySlow charging speedNo telephoto cameraWith its hefty price tag (from S$1,628), it's clear that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge isn't for everyone. But this price, while expensive, is not outrageous for a flagship device. Instead, it's the incredibly slim body of the Galaxy S25 Edge (and the trade-offs that made it possible) that will divide opinions.
