Is this like Tinder bio but for work? I guess. Well, now that you've made your way to my little space on this website, take a gander around the articles. More specifically I do reviews, so hop on there. Just avoid my social media, I am very famous and I will find out you were there. Just kidding, or am I?

Trust is a fragile thing. And Arc Raiders? It’s basically a trust exercise gone rogue. Whether it’s the impeccable sound design, the murderous machines, or the traitorous players you meet along the way, this is one of the most socially engaging titles to hit our screens in a long time. It might not offer the instant dopamine hit of Battlefield 6, starting off with a slow burn that requires a bit of patience.

Design & Build If you're worried about this thing looking like a clunky security device from a '9s spy movie, don't be. The Catus Touch Plus is a master of disguise. It's got a sleek, black (or rose gold, if you're feeling fancy) finish that just melts into your door. The keypad is so smooth you'll want to touch it, and the backlight makes you feel like you're unlocking the Batcave every time you come home at night. The fingerprint sensor is a thing of beauty, too.

It’s easy to think of the silicon wars as a one-horse race, but while you weren't looking, MediaTek has been quietly powering a hefty chunk of the planet's pockets. Now, the Taiwanese titan is done playing the quiet underdog. We sat down with Yenchi Lee, the big cheese (VP & GM) of MediaTek’s Smartphone Chipset Business, to find out how they plan to shake off the 'Asia-only' label and properly crack the premium market in Europe and India.

The greatest irony in tech has, for years, been a company called 'Noise' making its fortune by... well, cancelling noise. It’s like a world-famous baker opening a shop called 'We Hate Gluten' and only selling 12-grain sourdough. It’s bold. It’s confusing. And, in the Indian market, it’s been wildly successful. But now, Noise is trying to make a different kind of noise. A premium one with the Noise Master Buds Max. And before you ask, no, they’re not 'buds'.

Hot on the heels of Xbox Cloud Gaming in India, Nvidia has announced that its GeForce Now is launching in India but next year.The highly anticipated GeForce Now India launch, originally slated for a November 2025 arrival, has officially been pushed back to the first quarter of 2026. Before you rage-quit, there is a silver lining to this cloud. Nvidia isn’t just flicking a switch on some distant server farm; they are literally laying the groundwork.

Gaming on Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite A big change in the approach from Qualcomm with the Snapdragon X2 Elite is towards gaming, with the new chipset making big strides towards performance and capabilities required for smooth and glitch-free gameplay. The Adreno X2 GPU for the Snapdragon X2 Elite promises up to 2.3x higher performance with gaming, and compatibility will also reportedly not be an issue.

Asus has rolled out its most ambitious professional monitor yet, the ProArt Display 8K PA32KCX, an 8K HDR Mini LED panel built for colour-critical creators, filmmakers and post-production pros who demand absolute precision. Priced at Rs. 15,99,999, this is far from your average desktop display, and nothing about it is ordinary. The headline feature is, of course, the 8K (7680×4320) resolution, featuring a massive 275 PPI, which is more than double that of a standard 32-inch 4K screen.

Laptops today are expected to balance power, portability, and personality, and not every machine gets that mix right. But Asus’ latest Vivobook S16 aims to land squarely in that sweet spot. The moment I pulled the Asus Vivobook S16 out of its box, it felt far more polished than I expected for its price segment. It doesn’t scream for attention, yet it still gives off a confident, well-designed aura, the kind of device that wants to be both your everyday companion and a bit of a style statement.

Design and Build The Philips 5000 Series steamer feels thoughtfully designed from the moment you pick it up. It’s compact, well-balanced, and the pointed soleplate makes it surprisingly efficient at navigating collars, cuffs, and pleats. The Marine Blue and Pink colour combination looks stylish, and Philips using recycled plastic for nearly half the exterior is a welcome sustainability detail. Another thing I grew to appreciate is how neatly everything packs together.
