he month of January has been a pretty busy one
internationally, although locally, things are a bit more
quiet. The annual Consumer Electronics Expo has come
and left, showcasing some of the things we can begin to look
forward to throughout the year, and by the looks of it, the
showstealers at this year’s event look to be the guys doing
virtual reality and smart car systems.
The usual assortment of consumer electronics can also be
seen at the events, such as computers, laptops, but perhaps
the biggest announcement that happened at CES was that
Netflix went global. Personally, as soon as we heard the
news, we immediately accessed their website and when we
saw the option to register for an account, we did so and took
full advantage of the month-long trial that they had on offer.
Of course, the content that we get here in South East Asia
isn’t nearly as vast as the ones that America enjoys, but it’s
something. So far, we’ve binged on Brooklyn Nine-Nine,
Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Breaking Bad and a couple of food
documentaries.
As far as reviews go, this month we have quite a selection
of devices that we managed to get our hands on. On the
wearables front, we’ve got the Pebble Time, ASUS ZenWatch
2 and honor Band Z1. As for laptops, we have the Microsoft
Surface Pro 4, MSI’s new GT72S, the Lenovo IdeaCentre Y700
and the new Yoga 900, and GIGABYTE were also generous
enough to spring a surprise for us with the GIGABYTE
P34Wv5.
