Something all gamers have always dreamt of, is having the same performance of their more than capable desktop computers when going on the road, but even the “gamer laptops” tended to be a little under powered compare to those bigger siblings.
All that is just about to change thanks to NVIDIA and their newly announced GeForce 10 series of GPU made for NoteBooks
Earlier this week, the company let us know that thanks to the new Pascal architecture made for laptops, we can now have the GTX1080, the 1070 and the 1060 running inside “ultra-portable” NoteBooks.
And according to them, you´ll see only 10% dropin performance compare to desktop cards and up to 3x better performance over previous generations.
Some of the specs we have are:
GeForce GTX 1080
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX 1060
GPU Architecture

Thanks to Pascal, we also have VR ready laptops, with support even for 120Hz monitors.
By now, we’ve seems lots of OEMs jumping on the train to have the latest offers, but something to have in mind will be cost.
There’s no official price at the moment but the MSI computer that already carry the cards are nowhere near “cheap”.
So is up to you, Will you get your “portable Master Race PC” as soon as they become available? Or will you stick to game just at home?

PokemonGO is a huge success no matter how much you look at it,love it or hate it its huge and companies are cashing in everywhere in the world on it and sure why not,If the opportunity is there go for it…
Irishmen Jack Manning and johnniebell9have set up a new venture to provide users with products for PokemonGO and the first one has just been released costing just $10.Earlier this year we had seen products on etsy for the hugely popular game.
Jack Manning tells us…
So myself and Johnnie Bell have been good friends now for nearing 13 years. I went to play school with him so I’m nearly sick of him at this stage! During last year we set up our first business together called JC-Learn. This is an online study resource for JC students which is now expanding into the Leaving Cert.
Obviously JC-Learn is really only active during the school year so the summer had us a little bit bored. I did a few websites and marketing for small businesses but then when we both saw the Pokemon go craze kick off we knew we had to jump on it somehow. It was always in the back of my mind to create an ecommerce store just to widen the portfolio and I was searching for products. I then thought of a Pokemon go themed store. Obviously Pokemon go is just a fad so we didn’t want to completely brand as Pokemon go. The name Tech4Go gives us be ability to change over ‘trend’ as we like to call it.
When we saw the Pokemon go case we immediately knew it would be massive so decided this to be the first product. We are currently in the process of increasing our product range to include Pokemon themed power banks, normal phone cases and a few other things which we can’t release yet!
We actually set up the business without even meeting face to face with each other. I thought of the Pokemon idea standing in line getting on to a plane to Bulgaria and by the time I landed in Dublin after 2 weeks we had already made our first sale.
We don’t handle any of our goods as all of our products are drop shipped directly by the manufacturers which makes our job extremely easy!
Description..
Are you frustrated that you cannot throw a ball straight in Pokemon Go? Stop wasting time and Pokeballs now! This simple and effective solution to your problem is 100% made in the US using 3D printing technology.
With the Poke Catcher you will always throw the pokeball spot on. All you have to do is flick the pokeball on the poke track and you won’t waste anymore Pokeballs! Currently, just for the IPhone 5/5s/5c/SE/6/6s at this time but come back later for extra phone models.
Ulefone have just announced their latest handset is now up for pre-order which is said to be the best in its class and for the price asking a measly sum of 109.99 USD..
There is plenty of new cheap Androids to pick from today which are taking chunks from the bug players in the market and this is something to consider perhaps if you are on a budget,again it sports a now familiar design which has become boring for some..This however does look nice and sleek given its familiar looks which are quite obvious.
Some specs include Metal unibody, 2.5D Glass, MTK6753, 3GB RAM, 16GB, fingerprint scanner, 3050mAh big battery, 5-inch, HD display, Sony IMX149 sensor,Android 6.0. and its a Dual Sim..
For what looks well and the specs on offer for the price to pay it looks like a good deal to be had but we shall wait until our review unit arrives and then we will see it it lives up to job..
There has been rumours,now its official. The OnePlus 3 Gold variant is announced and release dates too. For users who have not opted in yet to buy the latest device from One Plus which is silver this colour might sway them. Either way it so far has been a great device to use given the few niggles here and there but for the price you simply cant go wrong. The price does appear to be the same and there is a notify me option on the store right now should you wish to consider purchasing this model..
In a short statement One Plus say
Today, we’re introducing a new color variant of the OnePlus 3 – Soft Gold. This isn’t your typical gaudy gold smartphone. We’ve toned the color down for a light, elegant look. With plenty of power, our expertly designed flagship doesn’t mess around.
We’re proud to announce that the limited OnePlus 3 Soft Gold will become available in the US at 12:00 PM US Eastern time, July 26, and on August 1st in other regions (Please refer to the table below for exact launch information). Don’t miss out on this exclusive new color variant, as the Soft Gold edition is available in limited quantities. Strike while the iron is hot!
Tesco Mobile which is an MVNO have launched a new prepay plan which some might find quite useful and especially for those on a budget. However this plan is given a specific end date and for now does not look like a long term plan and the offer is over on the 31st Jan 17 which applies to new and current customers,From where im standing this seems like a promo rather than a fixed rate deal for any lengthy period because as we know its now near the end of July which gives this deal 6 months at the new rate..
The Offer is available to all new and existing Tesco Mobile Prepay customers who top up by a minimum of €15 in one go every 30 days from 20th July 2016 and will run until 31st January 2017.
Customers are eligible for the Offer so long as they remain a Tesco Mobile Prepay customer and continue to top up by a minimum of €15 every 30 days. For the avoidance of doubt, customers who leave Tesco Mobile will no longer be eligible for the Offer.
To avail of the Offer, customers must top up by a minimum of €15 in one go every 30 days. Excludes any promotional top up credit received in that 30 day period.
If you top up again before the end of the 30 day term, then a new 30 day term starts. If you fail to complete the minimum top up before the end of a 30 day term then you will lose the Offer benefits and will be charged the new standard rates for calls & texts. However topping up by a minimum of €15 in one go will again give you 30 days of benefits.
The Offer applies to all standard Republic of Ireland mobile and landline calls and data usage in Ireland. It excludes international calls, roaming and calls to directory enquiries, premium rate numbers or any non-standard number, downloads while roaming.
To be eligible for UNLIMITED CALLS PLUS 10GB DATA customers must purchase a €15 top up either in store, online or at any participating location nationwide and top up your account.

If you haven’t heard of a VPN yet, it stands for Virtual Private Network. These extremely handy tools have been rising in popularity during recent years due to their many benefits. Once resigned to the world of internal corporation networks, these easy-to-use apps are now used by the general public all over the world. You may of heard players in the market like Surfshark but here is some others to check out. Many are being turned on to the concept in Ireland, with the Irish Times putting out a whole article around VPN’s in 2015. Here are some of the benefits of using one:
The Benefits of Using a VPN A VPN is extremely helpful to those concerned about security. It encrypts your data and allows you to use any WiFi network without worrying about hackers being able to intercept your details. Due to this, they also help you avoid malware and spam being sent your way in the future. Perhaps the most common usage for a VPN is to bypass geo-blocking restrictions. Since all devices are subject to blocks via their IP address, these virtual networks allow you to hide your location in order to access restricted content. This is extremely useful for regional sites such as Netflix whose listings are dependent on country. It’s also great for sports fans, as you can access and watch games that aren’t usually accessible in Ireland.
So, now you’ve got a basic rundown of the software, here are some recommendations:
1. Buffered VPN
Buffered VPN is quickly becoming the best service on the market. It was just rated Secure Thoughts’ Best VPN of 2016. Offering a watertight service which provides a constant connection and never drops out, you can browse freely and securely without having to worry about running into glitches.
Another fantastic benefit of using this provider is that they offer a 30-day guarantee and a comprehensive customer support system. They will work hard to resolve any problems you have and will give you a refund without hesitation if it fails to meet your standards. What makes this VPN better than any of the others on offer at the moment? It’s compatible with almost every device and operating system you can think of. It also has a great feature that kills all your apps and web pages if the connection does drop out. This ensures none of you details are put at risk. Click here to get it now.
ExpressVPN
Another option is ExpressVPN. You get a high quality service at a competitive price (when you take value into account). This option also boasts unlimited bandwidth and two connections on one account. This means you can easily stream, download and browse without running into problems. It also provides great customer service and an easy-to-use interface, making it a great choice for beginners.
The only real drawback is that Express VPN doesn’t come with the additional security features that Buffered offers. That’s the main difference between the two. This means that if you’re solely using your VPN to bypass geo-blocking, this one is probably the best option for you. Click here to get it now.
CyberGhost
If you don’t want to pay for a Virtual Private Network, there are plenty of free options available. That being said, these services have a significant amount of drawbacks. They often provide a questionable service and offer no customer support if things go wrong.
If you’re not planning on regular use, however, using a free one is still a great way to cut costs. Cyberghost is by far the best free VPN on the market. It ensures the same bandwidth as its paid competitors, although the speed might be somewhat affected. It also has a user-friendly interface. This product also has the added benefit of not logging your activity, which gives you an extra layer of privacy for users wanting to browse anonymously.
Consider This
If none of these VPNs seem right for you and you’re planning to do you own research, there are a few key elements to consider. First of all, the way a VPN works is to replace your IP address with that of the VPN server. Because of this, it’s important to ensure the service you choose will provide you with the IP address that you want. Check to see what countries a company has servers in.
Similarly, you need to establish your main reasons for use. If security is your priority, opting for a server with good reliability is essential. If you’re mainly going to be using it to stream Netflix, however, then bandwidth should be the main feature you look at. If you’re concerned about snooping, then I highly recommend ringing up some customer service departments and establishing how they handle user data. A VPN is an undeniably handy piece of software. There are countless options available. If you’ve had experiences with any of products mentioned or have your own suggestions to add, please leave a comment below to tell us what you think.

And for the not so young around, we talking about one of Nintendo’s best-selling consoles:
Nintendo Entertainment System or NES
The NES is coming back to stores! Pick up the new mini NES Classic Edition on 11/11 w/ 30 included games! pic.twitter.com/wFDw7lHWb7
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) July 14, 2016
Back in the 80s there was nothing better than playing your favorites games at home. Those games were so good than even today you can find newer versions or simple “ports” to work on our smartphones via a simple APK or an emulator.
Today Nintendo officially announced that they’re going to be releasing a revamped version of it called Nintendo Classic Mini.
This version comes with improved (too improved for those who remember how it was) video output with an HDMI connection to pair with the newest TVs out there, and its own version of the NES Controller
That package comes with the console, a controller and a USB cable to power the device
Second controller is sold separately
And if you happen to have one of your old controllers you can also use that
But as weird as it sounds , there’s no AC adapter so you’ll need to buy one (or use one from another gadget) to actually turn it on.
As we’re talking about a mini version of your old console, your games cartridges will not work with it, instead it comes with 30 games preloaded.
The included titles are:
Balloon Fight BUBBLE BOBBLE Castlevania™ Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™ Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE Dr. Mario Excitebike FINAL FANTASY® Galaga™ GHOSTS‘N GOBLINS™ GRADIUS™ Ice Climber Kid Icarus Kirby’s Adventure Mario Bros. MEGA MAN™ 2 Metroid NINJA GAIDEN® PAC-MAN™ Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream StarTropics SUPER C™ Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 2 Super Mario Bros. 3 Tecmo Bowl™ The Legend of Zelda Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
As you can see, most of those titles were best sellers back then, and some of those have a bunch of loving memories.
Unlike modern games, there will be no online connections or accounts, but unlike old games you can save your progress and specific point of the game without the need of codes like the good old days.
The launch date is set to November 11th, just one year after their 30th anniversary. For you to remember (and for the ones that never watched it before) here´s the very first TV ad

So we decided to take a bet on the One Plus Three which has received good and bad criticism to date but for the measly €365 thanks to the collapse of sterling we decided to take a punt on it,for the price you cant really go wrong to be honest and at that price its a bargain. We just have used it for two days and said we will do a quick unboxing and overview as there is plenty of reviews and so on out there now. My initial thoughts are ITS GOOD.. ITS DUAL SIM..
Good but perhaps for people moving up from the One Plus One but for those using the One Plus 2 it might not seem such a huge step forward,Considering the specs on tow here though for even new users to Android with not much cash to spare this is a good move if you would rather skip the more more expensive HTC or Samsung’s out there now which we also use here ourselves and lets not leave out Huawei either which have some good offerings now but with bumped prices compared to what we are use to seeing from,them,their flagship phones are now approaching flagship prices bordering HTC and Samsung price brackets.
First off the handset looks well it must be said although resembling Apple and HTC they did not hold back here but this is the new design language from many manufacturers now and perhaps we might see a change here as this design language is now getting boring but where do we go from here,I still think the Samsung Edge range win the looks department from any other devices out there today.

From what you pay though,which has increased recently you really cant complain,unless you are just looking for bear-bugs to nitpick at but just forget it. The phone is great,feels great,looks good and familiar,light,fast and sports Marshmallow out of the box with a huge 6GBs of of RAM.This is insane. Given we are held to a 64GB storage capacity which actually turns out to be 56GBs on ours there is enough for the average user and again not to mention the word CLOUD which we seem to be pushed towards. On using the phone so far I found it fast doing what I tend to do on a smartphone today which is browse,shop,social media,listen to music,you tube and very little gaming,It performed with ease,no lags no crashes YET….
The only downfall here is the battery especially for a power-user like myself but then again you get their version of fast charging with a caveat for many USB Type C is on offer but its something we will eventually become custom too,I own two phones using this new charging option and find it a hassle using them as in many sockets around the house I have the standard micro USB plugs well settled in but its time for change…And that is me nitpicking to be honest,You could say I am just comfortable as I am puttting it on the long finger,Something which reminds me when I started to really get into smartphones and would not move away from the darn Symbian OS when Android was wining the race, Yes my very First Android was the Galaxy S2 and some HTC,took my time there didnt I.
Overall the more pros than cons to be fair and its worth a punt,It takes little or no time to get a good judgement on a device since I sue so many and this has mostly been impressive thus far,so If you are on a budget this is the one to go for,Or perhaps look at what the other chinese OEMs have to offer or maybe Huawei or Motorola.
