My new normal with the Fitbit Charge 2
All I really wanted was a watch. But the more I kept this thing strapped on my wrist, I got sucked into that all too familiar trap of seeing my life as a series of numbers and charts, and the inevitable competitive sport of “social walking.â€

Check out these awesome screenshots from the first hour of Rise of the Tomb Raider
The Tomb Raider reboot, at least in my opinion, was one of the more recent successes in injecting a refreshing take on everyone’s favorite heroine. With this second installment, Lara Croft is back – obsessed, bruised and broken as she tries to follow her father’s footsteps for the search for immortality.

Photo Review: LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (#21108)
Christmas 2014 greeted me with a coveted LEGO Ecto-1 from the LEGO Ideas catalog. For those unaware, ‘Ideas’ is a crowdsourcing campaign that LEGO set up many months ago.

About a year ago, I won a Samsung Galaxy Note III which I promptly surrendered to my wife because she needed a new smartphone. Last month, (how time flies!) I was able to get my fingers tapping and swiping away on the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Check out our video review above. For more…

Hands on with the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2
Buy this if you want a big tablet that’s super light. Buy this if you want everything about the iPad Air except iOS. It’s out of the bag — an actual photo of a working unit in the Philippines. Samsung was going to introduce a Pro series tablet for people who need even more stuff…

ASUS Fonepad has excellent battery life, PHP 11,995 for 8GB
So many phones and tablets out there — and yes, the hybrids of different brands are equally populating the stalls. What makes the ASUS Fonepad stand out? Apart from being an all-in-one tablet and an Android powered smartphone, it actually kills the battery life category. You won’t believe it, but the Fonepad’s battery can last…

Sony Handycam HDR-GWP88 is waterproof with built-in projector; SRP PHP 35,000
I must admit that video recorders haven’t been on my radar for so long. Considering my earliest childhood memory of being enthralled with gadgets involved a video recorder (my dad was recording me while I kept on asking how it was possible “to watch yourself in the past”), the handy cam became obsolescent when almost…

BlackBerry Q10 with QWERTY keyboard and LTE available TODAY for PHp 31,990.00
Several weeks ago I reviewed the first BlackBerry 10 handheld to hit local shores, the BB Z10. It was essentially the Canadian company’s foray into a revamped OS to keep up with the ever-changing market. In that review I basically spelled out how the new OS is both condemning and innovative: the new OS doesn’t…
