The new Carry Case is huge, much bigger than the original hard shell. Boasting more houses for additional accessories, with numerous pockets in the design to make things easier to organize, this case allows for even more protection and storage options than ever on one’s handheld console.

The USB-C docking station is designed to fit onto the Legion Go directly, although it connects via the top USB-C port, which is arguably a bit of an uncommon placement. Nevertheless, the dock contains a variety of ports, including a USB-C for charging, a USB port for file transfer, a LAN port, two USB-A ports, and an HDMI output.

The Lenovo charging connector itself supports the turning of detachable joysticks into a gamepad, housing a 10.55Whr battery, unlike the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con connector. It provides additional power to extend the sessions of gamers.

Legion Go

The new accessories will be made available at different times and prices. The USB-C docking station is already available for €64.99 (~RM308). The Carry Case, meanwhile, will be made available starting January 2025 for €29.99 (~RM144). While the charging connector and joystick caps will go on sale this October, it was priced at €59.99 (~RM289) and €9.99 (~RM48), respectively.

Razer has announced the latest Razer Wolverine Xbox controller series refreshes at RazerCon 2024. Say hello to the new Razer Wolverine V3 Pro and the V3 Tournament Edition, with some serious improvements and changes.

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro had updated thumbsticks, adding new innovative “mouse click back pedals.” These new pedals boasted switches from the Viper V2 Pro, enhancing an already low actuation time. Secondly, the Pro model offers hall effect sticks with anti-friction rings for improved longevity.

Still, the V3 Pro lacks high polling rates, as is often the case with many other Razer peripherals. This included dongle allows only 250Hz, while the separate one offers up to 8,000Hz. In this case, the wired connection keeps its 1,000Hz polling rate.

Meanwhile, the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition is more of a plain gaming controller model. It doesn’t sport wireless functionality, rubber grips, or Chroma lighting but retains most of the other cores. It’s more budget-friendly for the consumer’s wallet.

The Wolverine V3 Pro will cost RM1,079, while the Tournament Edition will be sold at RM529. Official resellers, of course, can have their prices at a much lower value.

Reading Time: 2 minutes read

HONOR will launch two new flagship devices at IFA 2024. These will be the HONOR MagicPad 2 tablet and the HONOR MagicBook Art 14 laptop. The pair will be so slim and will deliver top-tier performance, which is the reason for HONOR’s commitment to innovation.

IFA

The HONOR MagicPad 2 The HONOR MagicPad 2 is the first model to have an insanely thin profile of 5.8mm. It is ultra-lightweight too, just 555g and thus transportable still in case of any use while on the go. A super narrow width of 4.9mm for the tablet allows you to fully immerse yourself in the visual field.

IFA

One more fact, a new MagicBook Art 14 model will outstrip all the others, this one is the thinnest and the lightest among the novel Honor laptops. Its ultra-thin and ultra-light profile of 1cm and 1kg, respectively, is giving its users the luxury of mobility no other laptop has offered. This device is a top pick for anyone who wishes to purchase a powerhouse but at the same time wants to opt for the ones that are lightweight and easy to carry.

IFA

In addition to the new HONOR MagicPad 2, HONOR will also announce its thinnest foldable smartphone, the HONOR Magic V3. 5 September 2024 is going to be the launch date for three products on a global scale held in Berlin as part of IFA. Honorable V.MA will stream the event to you live on one of its pages in the African home country of Malaysia on Facebook.

HONOR Magic V3 Sets Record Holder for lightweight design

HONOR Magic V3 was balanced on the world’s tallest house of cards-a real marvel. This fabulous feat underlines the exceptional lightweight design and toughness of the phone. The HONOR Magic V3, weighing only 226g, has easily outdone the others in toughness and engineering among its predecessors with its innovative build quality.

Of course, another notable feature is the ultra-thin profile, measuring only 9.2mm when folded and 4.35mm when unfolded. To further ascertain how resilient it is, HONOR even conducted an extreme washing machine test on the Magic V3. The results have been posted on the Facebook page of HONOR Malaysia, showing how resistant the phone is to scratches, as well as water exposure, to reassess the build.

The back cover of the HONOR Magic V3 uses Super Fiber material that has very high strength and reaches up to 5800MPa. It is far stronger than Kevlar and carbon fiber but is still very slim. It also features the HONOR Super Steel Hinge, which is currently the thinnest and most durable in the industry, with up to 500,000 folds.

In addition to these, on the display, the Magic V3 installs an Anti-Scratch NanoCrystal Shield that offers ten times more resistance against drops and scratches than regular glass. Besides this, with IPX8 water resistance, it means the device can be submerged as deep as up to 2.5 meters with no problem. With a combination like this, the Magic V3 indeed sets a new benchmark concerning the resistance of foldable phones.

Rare Nintendo PlayStation Prototype Controller Sells for $35,000

Rare Nintendo PlayStation Prototype Controller Sells for $35,000
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

A rare controller prototype for the Nintendo PlayStation has sold at an auction house in Dallas, Texas, for a cool $35,000. Heritage Auctions moved the controller, billed as one of the most important pieces of gaming history, originally developed as part of the short-lived Sony and Nintendo collaboration back in the late 1980s. Although the selling price was impressive, the functionality of the controller remains unclear since it was sold untested.

The collaboration between the two companies led to a peripheral add-on: a CD-ROM attached to the SNES, which played both cartridges for SNES and its CD-ROM games. It was intended to be part of a hybrid console, but it never left development. Therefore, this controller is an interesting piece of gaming history that not many know about.

Nintendo

Although it is called a controller in “very nice condition” with minimal wear and only minor dings, it has not been tested for functionality. The present sale underlines how rare such prototypes are and how valuable they can be, even if their practical use is unknown. As an artifact, that price fetched in the auction reflects how important it was.

The failure of this collaboration between Sony and Nintendo meant that Sony would later produce its own PlayStation consoles autonomously. A lot of the prototypes from this era never reached the public eye and are now highly in demand by collectors. This controller remains one of those testaments to what could have been one of the big-name collaborations in gaming.

Sony WF-C510: Lightweight TWS Earbuds at a Surprising Price
Reading Time: 3 minutes read

Sony announced the WF-C510, which is the replacement budget counterpart for the WF-1000XM4. As it’s designed with price reduction in mind, the headphones are more budget-friendly and try to retain major features necessary for their class while still managing to cut costs. Given the price, the new earbuds do surprisingly well in terms of specification.

The Sony WF-C510 is being marketed as the smallest closed-type earbuds the brand has ever made. It packs similarly small 6mm drivers and weighs in at just about 4.6 grams per bud. Its lightweight construction makes it comfortable and easy to carry around. The charging case weighs approximately 31 grams.

While it doesn’t have ANC, however, the WF-C510 does have a transparency mode. It also supports earbuds designed to support Bluetooth 5.3, and these buds will last 11 hours for general listening. When Transparency mode is turned on, however, both buds and case last eight hours.

The Sony WF-C510 will go for RM299, much more affordable compared to the predecessor’s price at RM449, making it a further compelling option for budget-conscious consumers. While an official release date has not been announced in Malaysia, shipping starts on September 9 in the US.

  • Sony WF-C510

For the price, with its compact design and necessary features, the Sony WF-C510 is an excellent option for those who are looking to get quality TWS earbuds without breaking the bank.

X Conference: The New Video Conferencing Solution by X
Reading Time: < 1 minute read

X is working on a new video conferencing feature called X Conference. It seems more geared toward internal use than consumer-facing. According to a post from X employee Chris Park, the company is internally testing X Conference. He said it could add features like pinning speakers and improved notifications soon.

X Conference

App researcher Nima Owji, meanwhile, shared a screenshot of X Conference. The tool reportedly will support spatial audio and built-in captions. Even with these additions, it is still anyone’s guess if the X Conference will ever make the application appeal to users outside the company. Currently, X supports person-to-person video calls and public broadcasts through Spaces.

X has had its fair share of technical glitches during big moments, such as when Musk spoke with Donald Trump. Musk blamed the problems on a “DDOS attack”, experts were divided on the matter. The organization has struggled with the reliability of streams, which brings into question why it needs a video conferencing tool in the first place.

X has toyed with business features in the past, taking it a step further this time last year by offering a job search tool. Musk also talked about building a “cool” alternative to LinkedIn. What’s not as clear is whether XConference will serve a market purpose other than for internal needs.
