OK so this is a bit late, but I spent some time with the Lenovo Legion Go S, the latest handheld from Lenovo. As someone who has dabbled with the Steam Deck, own an Ayaneo 2S, and have also played with the previous iteration – the Legion Go, I have some thoughts. The Lenovo Legion Go S marks some evolution in Lenovo’s handheld gaming lineup, building upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, the original Legion Go. While the initial model was lauded for its blend of gaming prowess and productivity features, the Go S aims to refine this formula…

Let’s play pretend for a second: what if Nintendo suddenly decided to move all Nintendo Switch manufacturing from China, Japan (and well, the rest of the world) to the United States? Would that be a game-changer—or just game over for affordability? Turns out, it’s a little more complicated than “just make it here.” For reference, let’s use the original Nintendo Switch as pricing has already been set in stone for several years. China vs USA: manufacturing showdownHere’s the raw math: building a Switch in China costs Nintendo somewhere around $170–$185 per unit, even with tariffs. If they moved that same…

A WiFi router isn’t something you’d normally stop to admire. But Globe AT HOME is changing that. At the “Art of Connection” launch in a:museum—the country’s largest digital museum at the Ayala Malls by the Bay, Globe introduced its latest 5G WiFi device with a twist: limited-edition skins featuring works from some of the Philippines’ most celebrated National Artists. Suddenly, your router isn’t just a tool for fast internet—it’s a statement piece. @barpoinsettia Globe at Home launches the new 5G WiFi router and mesh systems. These are touch screen art pieces that are capable of 5G speeds with WiFi 6…

This a true gaming phone with high-end specs that skims below P50,000. The RedMagic 10 Pro is a beast. Skewed towards gaming, it does have a bunch of quality-of-life features that make it great as a daily driver. But don’t get me wrong: this phone is truly meant for the gamer at heart. It costs P49,999. Aesthetics Out of the box, the RedMagic 10 Pro is a looker. Once you power it on, it definitely screams ‘gamer’ with the sound of a car starting and revving (yes it’s a bit campy but I will forgive this) and the LED lights…

“What’s that?” “Nothinggg.” Jokes aside, Carl Pei’s Nothing Phone has been shaking things up in the smartphone industry, proving that design can be just as important as specs. The brand has built a reputation for blending thematic software UI with striking hardware, creating a cohesive experience that stands out in a sea of lookalike devices. With the new Nothing Phone (3a), the brand continues this tradition—this time, bringing a more compelling choice to the sub-P20k market. The Phone (3a) isn’t about chasing high benchmark scores or flexing the biggest camera sensor. It’s about delivering a thoughtful, well-rounded experience that feels…

We ask industry leaders what makes them tick and how to navigate the challenges of an ever-changing industry that profoundly affects their profession and personal lives. I’ve been covering technology in the Philippines since 2004. I have interviewed, collaborated, and yes – even argued – with the best of the best in marketing, product, and brand roles for consumer technology. It so happens that many of them are women. The best of the best. Sue Ong Lim Managing DirectorAcer Philippines The IT field is a highly competitive, male-dominated industry where technology evolves at a pace faster than most. It is challenging,…

Social networking is evolving, and Jagat is at the forefront of this shift. Unlike traditional platforms that keep users glued to their screens, Jagat blends real-world interactions with digital engagement. Since launching its innovative Coin Hunt feature in the Philippines, the app has seen explosive growth, becoming a household name in some circles similar to Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp. But what makes Jagat different from the rest? The answer lies in its ability to turn social networking into an adventure. The Rise of Jagat in the Philippines The Philippines has long been a social media powerhouse, with its tech-savvy youth…

I’m sitting across Kevin Beck, Senior Story Technologist at Lenovo for a group interview. To be honest, when I was given a roster of executives to choose from, Beck appeared to be the most Wozniak-like of the bunch. Like the type of person who would go off-script with anecdotes and answering questions that would satisfy the nerd half of journalists present in the small interview room. I prefer his informal title. At work he is often referred to as the Resident Explainer of Things at Lenovo (yes a title with capital letters), breaking down complex pieces of technology for everyone…

I’ve spent a few weeks with the first-of-its-kind triple folding smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate Edition. To be honest, writing a review for such a product might feel like its target audience might just glaze over this piece. Let’s be honest. This phone is the price of a downpayment for a car. Price isn’t an issue so you’re either an early adopter with a lot of cash, or somewho who has **** *** money. So yes, it’s weird. I’ll be talking about specs, the hardware, the software, and the overall feel. But the people buying this phone won’t care. This…

Microsoft’s approach with Microsoft 365 Copilot is not just about adding AI to its suite—it’s about redefining how we engage with technology.
