16' MacBook Pro

These are my thoughts on 2019 16' MacBook Pro with improved thermals, better specs and new Radeon Pro 5000M Series GPUs. This laptop has been rumoured forever and many people had this device on their wishlists as well. This device is something special. The 16' inch screen is the least interesting thing to me. It looks like this is a device launched after a long time where they really cared about what users actually want.








This laptop is slightly bigger and heavier than the 15' model which is obvious. The top of the keyboard now has a physical escape key and the keyboard is no longer a Butterfly keyboard it is now upgraded to a Scissor-Switch keyboard. It has a very similar mechanism to an iMac. The key-press travel has increased from 0.5mm to 1mm. It is a significant improvement and anybody who does not like MacBooks for the new keyboards; " Welcome home". The tried to use the Butterfly keyboard but I am glad that they are done with them, The second thing they changed which affects me and impresses me a lot is that thermal performance has improved significantly. Now they are running bigger and more fan blades for improved airflow. It was very weird that they were running the 6-core and 8-core chips from Intel that get really hot in the same chassis. It at least got better than last year. The new thermal assembly sounds awesome.






They have also improved their battery, It is a 100 Watt battery. It is like a 20% increase. I've never seen a 100-watt battery fitted in a laptop.  It is the biggest/maximum battery allowed in a plane. The charger has also been upgraded from an 87-watt charger to a 96-watt charger. The GPUs have been improved they now run the Radeon Pro 5000M chips from AMD. You get more power-efficient, faster and more memory chips. They are claiming some pretty amusing improvements with this chip.
The screen is fine and it's nice to have 1 extra inch. The screen doesn't change much but it now has adjustable refresh rates which is good news for people who work on videos. They have some new speakers and they are good. You get from 512GB to 8TB storage which is absolutely insane. You have 64GB RAM and everything has significantly improved and the best part is that they have not changed the base price!









It is expensive but worth it. If you like my blog, tell me in the comments below or email me - Email

Apple's AirTags

This blog is to discuss if AirTags really prevent thefts... Misusage So I read a lot of theories on how these tags are actually helping in the thefts. So if you are a thief and stealing a bike with an AirTag, you get a notification on your iPhone and then you can easily disable that. But, it's not so easy. The Tag does not notify you that an AirTag is with you until you reach a landmark. So that the owner knows you stopped at that landmark. Maybe your house, mall or a restaurant. Now there is one problem with this. If I have an AirTag and I plant it in your bag for example. So you won't know something with a GPS is with you giving your location and telling the landmark you are at. So people can track you and that is both scary and creepy. Good or Bad? Eh.. A bit of both. So, it's great if someone is trying to steal your stuff but, it's creepy when someone is stalking your movement. But, this is the first time Apple is doing this so it is not perfect but, I believe it is...

Acer Nitro 5

Hey Guys! Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This is my review of the 2020 Acer Nitro 5. The cheapest gaming laptop with AMD Ryzen CPUs and up to an RTX 2060 for students and small budgets. This is a 670$ machine. The Acer Nitro Series has traditionally been very inexpensive and people have been interested in this device because of its price but this year they made very significant improvements. First, I am going to talk about some minor issues which you should be aware of. The first issue is the screen but the more important one is the keyboard. The screen is a 60Hz 1080p panel. It is the standard screen you would expect at this price. The colour accuracy is not great but it is okay for the price. My issue is the brightness and when you are playing shooter games, it is not easy to trace people in dim light. The second thing is the keyboard. I personally find it uncomfortable for gaming. I feel that the W, A, S, D keys are very close to the left side of the...

17' Razer Blade Pro 2019

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This laptop is SO much better than the previous blade pro. The thermals are crazy good. I would say that it is their best gaming laptop with awesome thermal performance. This laptop is brand new from this year, It is completely redesigned. It is their most expensive, most powerful and the most big-screened gaming laptop and it's a nice looking unit. I like this laptop a lot, however, there are some things which I want you to know if you're interested in picking this thing up! 1) Hardware The build of this device is very similar to the build of the 15' this year. It's got the same kind of design, shape, the light-up snake logo up front. It is very much an updated Razer product. I highly recommend you for getting a case or skin it if you buy a black one because even with very safe handling this device sometimes has dents and they are very much visible on a black one.         This laptop is obviously big...
