Best ASUS Phones in 2018
ASUS had a resurgent 2018, with the Taiwanese manufacturer hitting its stride in the affordable flagship space with the ZenFone 5Z. ASUS also took the fight to Xiaomi in India’s budget segment with the ZenFone Max Pro series, which offers astounding value for $200.
For the gamers
ASUS ROG Phone
With mobile gaming on the rise, the ROG Phone is aimed squarely at those looking to edge out the competition in PUBG or Fortnite.

AT&T will say you have “5G E” on your 4G phone because marketing trumps truth
Maybe you heard about AT&T’s new 5G network and thought “hey, 5 is more than 4 so it’s clearly better”, and then proceeded to anxiously wait to have 5G on your phone. Good news! It’s coming way sooner than you might have expected. Only it’s not actually 5G. Confused? That’s exactly where AT&T’s marketing department wants you.
First off, let’s clarify. The carrier’s 5G network is real but is only going to be available in a very limited number of places at first, as with all new mobile technologies. Also, there is not one 5G capable handset on the market right now. Sure, a bunch of those…
PlayStation Classic is a good buy now that it’s been hacked and is 30% off
Only 20 games you say? Nonsense.
The PlayStation Classic had gamers clamoring upon its announcement just a few months ago, wondering if it might be the next best retro gaming console on the market. Coming in at a full price of $99.99, it’s one of the more expensive retro gaming options out there, but fans hoped the pre-installed games would make it well worth the cost; the original PlayStation had plenty of now-beloved games, after all.
While loaded with 20 original PlayStation games including Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms, there are some that just don’t hit the mark of ‘defining an era’ as the product description claims. Thankfully though, gamers have found a way to add your own games to the console to give it more replayability than before. While it doesn’t match up to the likes of the NES Classic Edition or SNES Classic Edition consoles, you could have a lot of fun with the system despite its flaws such as some of the pre-installed … 閱讀全文

Where we landing, boys?
Amazon has the Razer Wolverine Ultimate Gaming Controller on sale for $119.99. That’s a match of the best price in history for this item, which has only come around once before.

This ergonomic controller is compatible with both Xbox One and PC.
For more details, check out this review, where Windows Central gave the Wolverine Ultimate a 4.5 out of 5-star rating.

This UE MEGABOOM Bluetooth speaker has never been more affordable
Got that boom boom pow!
Amazon has the super powerful UE MEGABOOM on sale for $99.99, a savings of $150 from its regular price. That marks its lowest price ever there; Best Buy just offered this price on the speaker as a one-day deal earlier this week too, so there’s a good chance this offer won’t last for much longer than that. It sells for over $175 on average otherwise.
The UE MEGABOOM has an IPX7 waterproof rating so you can use it by the pool, at the lake, in the rain, and more. It also has 360-degree sound with deep bass and offers up to 20 hours of music playback per charge.
You can connect it with an Echo Dot for hands-free control of what’s playing, or connect it with up to 50 other UE speakers if you want to pretend like you’re at a concert venue. Most of the other color options are selling between $160 and $200 right now, so don’t miss out on this limited-time offer which saves you big.

Can we take a second? [#acpodcast]
Daniel Bader, Andrew Martonik, and Russell Holly are here for the penultimate episode of the show for 2018! AT&T has officially launched their 5G network — albeit in portions of only 12 markets. T-Mobile’s John Legere has chimed in with plenty of snark, but maybe he should keep his opinion to himself for once.
Facebook continues to rationalize their insidious disregard for user data. They gave unfettered access to Microsoft, Amazon, and Netflix. Meanwhile, Sundar Pichai schooled Congress on exactly what Google does (and does not do) with regard to user data and perceived bias in search results.
Finally, the crew share their favorite gadgets of 2018. Happy Holidays!
