Google Stadia

This is my review on the current state of Google Stadia. When they announced this thing in March, I was very excited about it. I saw various game-streaming services before but I thought if anybody could do it properly and would nail it, it would be Google! But, they didn't nail it. The launch was rough. I don't see Stadia coming out, the way I hoped it would.








First, I will talk about visual quality. This is a streaming service and when it comes to streaming doesn't matter what it is, it is never gonna look as good as natively rendered content. These things always have some kind of visual hit. It does not look that good, it is acceptable and it is actually what I expected. Just remember that it does not look as good as a modern gaming console or a gaming desktop but it is passable. The second thing I want to talk about is lag, latency, bandwidth etc. Streaming a game gets difficult. The latency and all is fine but when it comes to lag, the gaming experience sucks! What happens is suppose you are running and the game lags you would have reached your destination when it is back which is sad.

I don't see this thing reasonable to buy. I mean we have other platforms which are better than this. I checked the game store or whatever they call it. It hardly has any games and the ones which it has are not attractive enough. Developers will have to look at this thing in that way. I mean this smells risky for them! Developers are making games like Call of Duty which they know people will buy and this thing they are not sure if it will work here and this is a very immature ecosystem as compared to others, The controller is nice and comfortable it uses USB-C to charge but that thing is secondary.

There has to be a developer who will roll the dice and work for this risky thing. I don't see that happening for another 1-2 years, maybe never! Until that happens this thing is dead to me! If you liked 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...
