New 2016 MacBooks

So after a long time apple decided to update their range of laptops so let's take a look at them

so this time there are three of them two 13inch Macbook Pro ad one 15inch Macbook Pro
first we'll talk about the two 13inch models

Cheapest MacBook Pro 13inch 2016

Starting from the base the cheapest of them all the 13inch Macbook costs at USD1499 and has the new processor and the new display but slips out on the most interesting feature of the new generation of the Macbooks that's the touch bar and the Touch Id but also has a sightly less power packed inside then the model with touch bar, But the problem doesn't end here for the cheapest new Macbook this guy has almost identical performance to the older Macbook but with a larger Touchpad which is good but the low travel keyboard.
I don't think anybody in there right mind will buy this model because this one doesn't have the new features that we loved to see and are still waiting to use and the same performance can be bought with the older Macbook Pros at a cheap price.

Real New Gen 13inch Macbook And 15inch Macbook

Now Let's take a look at the thing you came here for, Macbook with a touch bar so this model has a better performance and a better display it performs better than it's little brother, has a huge huge touchpad which we all are going to love and the same butterfly keyboard from the 12inch Macbook now everyone including me is not happy with the keyboard but because the new Macbooks are slimmer, smaller and lighter in every way than the previous models so that means less space and that leads to less travel for the keys, Macbooks have performed very well in the past and these new models are no exception, except the loss of every useful ports ever, Apple has a name for making such bold moves like the loss of a headphone jack on the new iPhone 7 and i didn't care about that because bluetooth headphones are very good these day and are becoming cheaper and cheaper so that was fine but i haven't ever used a USB C flash drive yet and they really expensive so if you don't have enough money for a USB C flash drive you have to spend for the adapters you are gonna use, But don't worry the loss of all the ports does't mean that you have lost the functioning but you have to use adapters for it HDMI,USB and everything you can think of you have to use adapters for it, you can charge your laptop with any of the USB C port and that's pretty cool but you loose one port when you plug it in, personally i don't think it is going to be a big deal because Macboks have always had a really good battery life so you won't b losing a port very often.

Now the thing that makes these two the real New Gen Macbooks is the awesome looking touch bar, that touch bar above the keyboard handles your function keys like volume and brightness controls and that also contains touch ID the most amazing part is that it changes according to applications you use for now it only works with apple apps but as the time pass and developers start building the software that takes advantage of this extra feature that's when we'll see the real thing.

For now these are my thoughts about the new Macbooks Also the webcam still sucks

Leave a comment anyway saying anything

Should you buy An iPhone 5s now?

Buying a new phone can be confusing and time consuming with a lot of choice out there and the number of options keep increasing day by day.

New phones are great they are cheap amazing specs but what about the old phone the old flagships are they worth spending your money on? the phones that were on top of the game and now are available at a reasonable price.

well that's the case with the iPhone5s once a killer flagship is not really cheap and affordable so should you buy it now?

well i did, i bought an iPhone5s almost a month ago and i have to say i was a bit unsure because the option i as thinking about instead of the iPhone was MotoG4 plus which is a great phone, but with all the experience ihave had with mid range devices for the first 4-5 months they perform great and don't lag even for but but then after you spend a little time that same cheap but a phone with mid range specs starts too show it's true color, it starts to lag while launching apps and lags while multi-tasking it even get's to a point where you cannot even text with that device.

so i decided to with the iPhone because it might be a 2 year old phone but it's still the same phone that we all loved when it was expensive so i got that and i was impressed.

first of all the build quality the other phones in this price range might have better specs but are still using cheap plastic but the iPhone is made of aluminium and the full metal unibody design got me the first time the cold metal feel in the morning and that kind of premium design you can never get from a mid range devices

Now let's compare the camera, camera of the iPhone5s when i arrived was one of the best cameras in the market and now that it is in the mid range devices the camera of the iPhone5s is best among the mid range devices.

Performance you ask? well as we all know iOS never needed much high end specs to run smoothly so it runs pretty smoothly there have been times when it lagged but that lag stayed for 1sec or less ,so that doesn't matter if your were planning to buy a mid range android device because when they lag you know you'll have to wait for 10-15 secs and that gets really annoying when it happens on a daily basis or as in my experience 4 times in an hour.

So over all if you want a great phone and you are on a budget a mid-range android device will do it for you for 6 months or so but if you want buttery performance more than that i recommend getting an iOS device

First Impressions - Lenovo Z51-70 80k600VVIN

let's get straight to the point
This is one of Lenovo's premium laptops with loaded with killer specs

Processor- Corei7 5th gen
RAM- 8GB
Graphics- AMD Radeon R9 M375
Display- 15.6" 1080p
Keyboard- Backlit

it comes with a lot of bloatware pre-installed and some of it you'll not be sure to remove or not i have remove most of it though not all of it this experience is great it is fast not light but not most laptops are light weight, but sometimes for just a few seconds after starting it lags a bit each and every time but the performance after that is snappy.

But there is a problem and that is a major one when the power is low and you put the laptop ion charge or just plug the power in if the laptop is ON, a blue screen will appear and laptop will shut down and it'll repeats the process until the power is removed you can charge the laptop while it's off but if it's turned on blue screen will appear again this problem occurred just after two days of buying this laptop and lenovo is not replacing it i strongly recommend not buying this laptop.
