For the brief time I used the GS60(FHD) earlier this year, I was very impressed. It fell a little short of what I was looking for though, and comparing it directly to a Razer Blade, I decided it wasn’t what I was looking for....

On my never ending quest to find the “perfect” high-end ultrabook, I was able to get my hands on the new Aorus X3 Plus. I’ve never used an Aorus product before and I’ve read a few not-so-stellar reviews on Gigabyte laptops as well, so...

Got my hands on another Core M ultraportable in the last few days, the Asus Transformer Book T300FA, and this post is my collection of initial impressions on it. Just to be clear, this is not the ultra-sleek T300 Chi tablet showcased at Computex...
