AI has taken the internet by storm, like a new app everyone’s suddenly obsessed with. In response to this surge, OpenAI has developed a tool that can detect the texts written by ChatGPT. In this article, we will talk in detail about this new AI detection tool from OpenAI and its effectiveness.
OpenAI’s new AI detector
Watermarking method for ChatGPT’s writing detection
As per the company, OpenAI has developed a text watermarking method that adds a hidden mark to their text. However, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, the company is still deciding whether to make this tool available as they are also considering the risks. These include the possibility of people finding ways to remove the mark and also the chance that it might affect certain groups, like people who don’t speak English.
OpenAI says it’s taking a ‘deliberate approach’ to releasing tools that can detect writing from ChatGPT https://t.co/kjAggCkZGn
This is not the first time OpenAI has come up with an AI detection tool. Last year they shut down their previous text detector – “AI classifier” due to its low rate of accuracy. However, it is said that this time the approach would be different.
The watermarking method would only target writing generated by ChatGPT, not by other companies’ models. This method involves subtly altering how ChatGPT chooses words, creating an invisible watermark in the text that a specialized tool can later identify.
The company says they have found that text watermarking is effective for catching changes made to the text locally, like rephrasing. However, it struggles with more global changes, such as using translation tools, changing the text with another AI model, or inserting and then removing special characters between words.
Someday using AI to write will be akin to using a calculator. While ChatGPT already has strong competitors like Copilot, Gemine, and Claudie, the idea of developing a tool to detect AI-generated text from OpenAI and exploring watermarking seems like digging your own grave and falling in.
On the one hand, this idea could be proven good in maintaining academic integrity and creating responsible users. On the other, this new method will only detect the content generated by ChatGPT, so using a tool like Quilt Bot and simply paraphrasing the idea is like a piece of cake to many.

Samsung launched the Tab A9 series near the end of last year and shortly made their way to Nepal too. Now the South Korean tech giant has launched the Tab A9+, but this time it’s targeted at kids. In this article, we will be looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition in further detail including its price in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition Overview
What’s new?
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition is mostly the same old goodie. However, you do get some things extra. Starting with the thick puffed cover with a built-in kickstand. This case is similar to the ones you get with other kids’ tablets and is available in multiple colours including Blue, Red, and Yellow.
Additionally, Samsung is offering three crayon-like styluses and two interchangeable lanyards to hold the pen. The Crayo-pens come in the same colours as the case i.e. Blue, Red, and Yellow. Other than that, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition comes preloaded with the Samsung Kids app. With this, parents can create separate profiles, set screen and app restrictions, and monitor children’s online presence.

Look, the M1 MacBook Air is still a solid pick in 2025. Yeah, it’s from 2020, but Apple’s first custom silicon was kind of a game-changer. You’re getting crazy good battery life – like 15+ hours of actual use. The fanless design means it’s dead silent. and regarding Performance, It will handles most tasks without breaking a sweat. The 13.3-inch Retina display looks crisp. Build quality is typical Apple – premium aluminum body that feels solid. Only downside is you’re stuck with 8GB RAM, but macOS handles memory pretty well.

The Swift Go 14 packs Intel’s new Ultra 5-125H chip with Arc graphics – basically Intel’s attempt at competing with Apple’s efficiency. The star here is the 2.8K OLED display. Colors pop, blacks are true black, and it’s got a 90Hz refresh rate. For this price range, you don’t usually see OLED panels. Build quality feels decent for the price. It’s not MacBook-level premium, but it doesn’t feel cheap either. The keyboard’s backlit and typing feels comfortable.
The M2 Air is where Apple fixed most complaints about the M1. You get a bigger 13.6-inch screen, better 1080p webcam, and MagSafe charging is back. Performance bump over M1 isn’t massive for everyday tasks, but you’ll notice it in video editing or heavier workloads. The new design looks more modern too – flat edges instead of the wedge shape. Still fanless, still crazy good battery life. And you can actually connect two external displays now (though you need to close the laptop).

Acer’s latest with their “AI” branding. Honestly, the AI features aren’t revolutionary, but the underlying hardware is solid. The Ultra 5-226V is Intel’s newest efficiency-focused chip. It’s not gonna blow your mind with raw power, but it sips battery and handles daily tasks smoothly. You get a 14-inch OLED panel again – seems like Acer’s really pushing OLED in their premium Swift lineup. The display quality matches what you’d expect from OLED tech.
Apple’s newest Air just dropped and it’s pretty much what you’d expect – faster chip, same great design. The M4 brings serious performance improvements, especially for graphics-heavy tasks. They finally bumped base RAM to 16GB too, which was long overdue. You can configure it with more storage and RAM, but prices climb fast. The base model hits the sweet spot for most users.

ASUS went all-out with the Zenbook S 14. You’re looking at a premium build with some serious specs under the hood. The Ultra 7-256V is Intel’s higher-end efficiency chip. It’s got more cores and better graphics than the Ultra 5 variants. Performance feels snappy for productivity work. The OLED display is gorgeous – 14-inch with 2.8K resolution. ASUS also threw in plenty of RAM and storage. Build quality feels premium with the aluminum construction.
Dell’s budget 2-in-1 isn’t trying to be fancy. It’s just a solid convertible that gets the job done without breaking the bank. The Ryzen 5-8640HS is interesting here – it’s actually a higher-power H-series chip instead of the usual U-series you see at this price. That means better performance for multitasking and light creative work. The 360-degree hinge feels sturdy enough for daily flipping between laptop and tablet modes. Touchscreen response is decent for the price range.

HP’s Envy x360 brings Intel’s newer Core 5 processor to the budget 2-in-1 space. It’s not as powerful as Dell’s H-series chip, but it’s more efficient. The build quality feels premium for the price – aluminum construction and decent keyboard. The x360 hinge has been around for years, so HP knows how to make it work. You get a smaller 14-inch screen, but some people prefer the more compact form factor. Battery life should be solid with the efficient Core 5 chip.

The Yoga 7i is where you start getting into premium 2-in-1 territory. Lenovo’s been making Yoga laptops forever, and they’ve got the formula down. Intel’s Ultra 5-125H brings more performance than the U-series chips in cheaper 2-in-1s. The integrated Arc graphics can handle light gaming and creative tasks. The build quality is solid – all-aluminum construction with a 360-degree hinge that feels like it’ll last. The keyboard’s comfortable for typing, and the touchscreen is responsive.
The Nitro V 15 just barely squeaks over the 1 lakh mark, but it’s worth the extra few thousand. You’re getting a proper gaming setup with dedicated graphics. The RTX 3050 handles most modern games at 1080p medium settings. Yeah, it’s not the latest RTX 40-series, but it’s still capable of ray tracing and DLSS. Build quality is typical Acer gaming laptop – plastic but functional. The 144Hz display makes competitive gaming smoother than standard 60Hz panels.

The LOQ 3 costs a bit more than the Nitro V, but you get some nice upgrades. Better build quality, more storage options, and Lenovo’s typical solid construction. Same RTX 3050 graphics as the Acer, so gaming performance is similar. The Ryzen 5-7235HS is slightly different than the 7535HS in the Nitro V, but real-world performance is close. The display supports 100% sRGB color coverage, which is nice if you do any photo editing or content creation alongside gaming.

The LOQ 15 2024 comes in two flavors – 12th gen and 13th gen Intel processors. Both pack the RTX 4050, but there’s a noticeable performance gap between the generations that affects more than just CPU tasks. The 12th gen i5-12450HX model at Rs. 117,000 offers serious value for money with its H-series processor that doesn’t throttle under load like U-series chips do. Gaming performance hits that sweet spot where you can run most modern titles at high settings while maintaining 60+ FPS. The 13th gen version bumps the price to Rs. 129,999 but brings better single-core performance and improved efficiency – worth it if you’re doing content creation alongside gaming.
Acer decided to go bigger with the Nitro V 16, and honestly, it makes sense. The 16-inch WUXGA display gives you more screen real estate than standard 15.6-inch panels, plus the 1920 x 1200 resolution adds vertical space that’s actually useful for productivity tasks. What’s interesting here is the 14th gen i5-14450HX processor – Intel’s latest efficiency improvements mean better thermals and sustained performance during long gaming sessions. The RTX 4050 with 6GB VRAM handles ray tracing better than you’d expect at this price point, though you’ll need to dial back some settings in the most demanding games.

Lenovo LOQ 15 2024 i7 Series
The i7 variants of the LOQ 15 represent where gaming laptops start getting serious about performance. You’ve got two options here – the RTX 4060 model at Rs. 184,999 and the newer RTX 5060 version at Rs. 214,999. The RTX 4060 is still a solid performer that handles 1440p gaming comfortably, but the RTX 5060 brings DLSS 4 and better ray tracing performance that future-proofs your setup. Both use the same i7-14700HX processor which is frankly overkill for most gaming scenarios but shines in CPU-intensive tasks like streaming or video editing while gaming. The cooling system finally feels adequate for these higher-power components, though the fans do get audible under load.
Acer’s Predator line has always been about aggressive gaming aesthetics, and the Helios Neo 16 doesn’t disappoint. The 16-inch display gives you breathing room for multitasking, and the build quality feels more premium than the LOQ series with better materials and tighter tolerances. The i7-14650HX processor sits between the i5 and top-tier i7 options, providing excellent gaming performance without the power draw of the 14700HX. Thermals are well-managed thanks to Acer’s custom cooling solution, and you actually get decent battery life when not gaming – something rare in this category. The RTX 4060 runs at higher power limits than some competitors, translating to better frame rates in demanding games.

The Legion 5 has been Lenovo’s mainstream gaming workhorse for years, and the 2024 iterations maintain that reputation. The 13th gen model at Rs. 192,999 uses the slightly older i7-13650HX which still performs excellently in games, while the 14th gen version at Rs. 209,999 brings the newer i7-14650HX with better efficiency and slightly higher boost clocks. What sets the Legion apart from the LOQ series is the build quality – better keyboard, more premium materials, and superior port selection including more USB-A ports and better placement. The Legion’s cooling system is also more refined, running quieter under load while maintaining better temperatures. Both models use the same RTX 4060, so gaming performance is identical.
The Legion 5i 2025 steps into premium territory with the i9-14900HX processor and RTX 5070 graphics combo. This is where you start getting into territory where the laptop can handle 1440p gaming at high refresh rates consistently. The i9 processor brings 24 cores that absolutely destroy productivity tasks – think video rendering, 3D modeling, and heavy multitasking while streaming. The RTX 5070 is a significant step up from the 4060 series, offering better ray tracing performance and higher base frame rates. Build quality matches the premium pricing with an all-metal construction that feels tank-like while maintaining reasonable portability for a gaming laptop in this class.
Lenovo Legion 5i and Legion Pro 5i (2025) – Design
The Legion Pro 5i confuses things a bit with two similar models at the same Rs. 274,999 price point – one with RTX 5060 and another Pro model with RTX 5070 at Rs. 324,999. The base model uses Intel’s new Core Ultra 9-275HX processor which brings better efficiency and AI acceleration features, though gaming performance isn’t dramatically different from the regular i9. Where it gets interesting is the Pro model with RTX 5070 – this represents the sweet spot for high-end gaming with enough power for 1440p ray tracing while not being overkill for most users. The build quality across both models is exceptional with premium materials throughout and one of the best gaming keyboards in the business.
Acer went all-in with the “AI” branding here, though most of the AI features are more marketing than revolutionary functionality. What you’re really paying for is the Core Ultra 9-275HX processor and RTX 5070 Ti graphics combination that represents serious gaming horsepower. The RTX 5070 Ti sits between the regular 5070 and 5080, offering excellent 1440p performance and decent 4K gaming in less demanding titles. The cooling system is where Acer shows its expertise – this thing runs surprisingly cool and quiet for the amount of performance it’s packing. The build quality feels premium with good attention to detail, though it doesn’t quite match the Legion’s all-metal construction.

ASUS finally brought AMD back to the premium gaming laptop space with the Ryzen 9-9955HX, and it’s about time. AMD’s latest processor brings excellent multi-core performance that rivals Intel’s best while running cooler and more efficiently. The RTX 5060 might seem like a step down from the 5070/5070 Ti options above, but ASUS configured it well with higher power limits that close the performance gap. Where the ROG Strix shines is in build quality and features – the keyboard is fantastic for gaming, the display covers 100% sRGB with excellent color accuracy, and the port selection is comprehensive. It’s also one of the quieter gaming laptops in this category thanks to ASUS’s refined cooling design.
The Legion Pro 7i 2025 represents Lenovo’s absolute flagship gaming machine, and they’ve pulled out all the stops with three different GPU configurations that cater to different levels of gaming obsession. The Legion Pro 7i gen10 is built on an Intel Arrow Lake-HX platform with RTX 5070/5080/5090 graphics chips and up to 64 GB of LPDRR5-6400 memory, featuring a 16″ OLED display with 240Hz refresh rate. The base RTX 5070 Ti model at Rs. 421,900 offers excellent 1440p gaming with ray tracing enabled, while the RTX 5080 version at Rs. 497,900 pushes into serious 4K gaming territory where you can actually maintain playable frame rates in demanding titles. The flagship RTX 5090 model at Rs. 627,900 is frankly overkill for gaming alone – this is for people who need workstation-class performance for professional 3D rendering, AI workloads, or simply want the absolute best regardless of price. What ties all three models together is the stunning 16-inch OLED display with 240Hz refresh rate that delivers true blacks and vibrant colors that make games look phenomenal, plus the premium build quality with aluminum construction throughout.
ASUS took a different approach with the ROG Strix G16 2025, focusing on delivering flagship performance with better thermals and quieter operation than most competitors in this class. The Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX processor paired with the RTX 5070 Ti creates a balanced high-end system that doesn’t compromise on sustained performance during extended gaming sessions – something crucial when you’re spending this much money. What makes this particular model interesting is ASUS’s refined cooling system that manages to keep both the CPU and GPU running at optimal temperatures without the jet engine fan noise that plagues many gaming laptops in this performance tier. The build quality feels exceptional with premium materials throughout, and the keyboard strikes the right balance between gaming functionality and typing comfort for productivity work. At Rs. 416,899, it sits right between the Legion’s RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 models while offering comparable performance to the more expensive option thanks to superior thermal management.
The MacBook Pro M4 Pro represents Apple’s sweet spot for content creators who need serious performance without jumping to the more expensive Max variants. The M4 Pro chip brings significant improvements in video encoding, 3D rendering, and AI workloads compared to previous generations, while the 14-inch form factor keeps it portable enough for on-the-go creative work. What sets this apart from Windows alternatives isn’t just the raw performance – it’s the integration with creative software where macOS and Apple silicon work together seamlessly. Video editors working in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve will see rendering times that often beat much more expensive Windows laptops, while the color-accurate Liquid Retina XDR display with mini-LED backlighting provides the reference-quality visuals that professional work demands. Battery life remains excellent even under creative workloads, something that simply doesn’t exist in the Windows gaming laptop space. At Rs. 339,000, it’s positioned as the entry point into professional-grade creative computing, though you’ll want to spec up the RAM and storage for serious professional work.
The ROG Zephyrus G16 2025 blurs the line between gaming laptop and content creation workstation in ways that make it genuinely compelling for creators who also want to game. The Intel Core Ultra 9-285H processor (note the different suffix from the gaming-focused 275HX) prioritizes efficiency and AI acceleration features that benefit creative workflows, while the RTX 5070 Ti provides the CUDA cores and VRAM that video editors and 3D artists need for GPU-accelerated rendering. ASUS engineered this specific model with creators in mind – the display covers 100% of DCI-P3 and comes factory-calibrated for color accuracy, the cooling system prioritizes sustained performance over peak burst speeds, and the port selection includes multiple high-speed USB-C connections for external displays and fast storage. What makes this particularly interesting at Rs. 478,900 is that it’s one of the few laptops that can genuinely handle both 4K video editing during the day and high-end gaming at night without compromise. The premium price reflects the reality that you’re getting workstation-class features in a gaming laptop form factor, which is exactly what many modern content creators need.
Pure gaming performance: The Legion Pro 7i with RTX 5080 or 5090 delivers the absolute highest frame rates, but you’re paying premium prices for diminishing returns.
Balanced high-end gaming: The ASUS ROG Strix G16 with RTX 5070 Ti offers 95% of the performance at a lower price with better thermals and build quality.
Content creation on macOS: The MacBook Pro M4 Pro provides great creative performance with unmatched battery life and display quality for professional work.
Gaming + content creation: The ROG Zephyrus G16 2025 is the only laptop that truly excels at both demanding creative work and high-end gaming without compromise.
Best value in high-end: The Legion Pro 7i RTX 5070 Ti gives you flagship performance at the lowest entry price, though build quality and thermals aren’t quite as refined as ASUS options.
The reality is that once you’re spending over Rs. 4 lakh on a laptop, you’re paying for the absolute best performance available. The differences between these models come down to your specific needs – pure gaming, content creation, or the rare combination of both at the highest level.
We are all familiar with the American smartphone manufacturer Motorola, and most might also remember the ups and downs it has faced in the Nepalese market. Well, the brand is charging right in again, with Chaudhary Group (CG) at the helm. In this short article, let’s quickly take a peek at what you can expect with Motorola’s re-entry into Nepal.
Motorola is back in Nepal
Motorola in Nepal: A quick history lesson
The brand entered Nepal back in 2017 with budget phones from its C and E series but ultimately lost the battle of value against Chinese competitors like Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo.
On a decline, they switched gears and entered with Call Mobility as their distributor again in 2022 but to no avail. Since then, we haven’t seen the brand make any moves or launch new phones in Nepal.
Enter CG….
It’s official! Motorola is re-entering Nepal with CG Mobiles as its authorized partner. The brand will be launching a number of smartphones from their budget G series to the Edge series, and even their flagship Razr smartphones. Here’s a quick list of phones that we expect to see in the near future:
Moto G Family
Motorola Edge Family
Motorola Razr Family
Moto G64
Motorola Edge 50 Fusion
Motorola Razr 50 Ultra
Moto G85
Motorola Edge 50
Motorola Edge 50 Pro
Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
Pricing and Availability of Motorola Phones in Nepal
According to official sources, the Moto CG collaboration will be operational from India. This means a few things but most importantly, it means that you can expect competitive pricing that is close to Indian retail.
The new Motorola smartphones will be launched targeting the upcoming Festive season. There are likely going to be offers and discounts too, so we also expect good competition to established brands like Xiaomi, and Samsung.

Apple is all set to shake things up with the 17th version of its device. From the rumors, it seems like the company plans to retire the Plus model in favour of an all-new “Slim” iPhone. Let’s dive into all the buzz surrounding the iPhone 17 Slim (or Air) and the things it might soon unveil.
iPhone Air
Instead of being the ‘iPhone 17 Slim’, there’s a good chance that the upcoming phone might be launched with the “Air” moniker.
Mirroring the design philosophy of the MacBook Air and iPad Air, this new model emphasizes a lightweight and ultra-thin form factor, targeting casual consumers who prioritize portability and sleek design. Not only that, with a single rear camera, a titanium-aluminium alloy frame, and a focus on design over high-end features, the iPhone 17 Air aligns perfectly with the concept of a smooth, mid-range device. Although Apple has yet to make any official announcements, the “Air” designation seems to capture the essence of this new iPhone, suggesting a fresh approach to combining style and functionality in their product lineup.
However, most rumors point at it being called the iPhone 17 Slim so that’s what we are going with.
Iphone 17 Slim Rumors
A new iPhone form factor
Even before the iPhone 16 hits the shelves, rumours about the iPhone 17 are already making waves in the tech world. A brand-new form factor for an iPhone is on its way.
Reports suggest that Apple is focusing more on aesthetics this time. As the name implies, the new model’s main attraction will be its thinness, unlike the Pro models, which emphasize camera quality and processing power to stand out from Apple’s standard iPhones.
Why the Slim?
According to a report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the Plus model makes up only a small percentage of (5-10%) of all new iPhones sold. This suggests that the other three models (Standard, Pro, and Pro Max) are already meeting the needs of customers looking for high-end iPhones, and the Plus model doesn’t add much value and is considered “redundant”.
So, Apple may phase out the iPhone Plus, a larger-sized base model, in favour of the new iPhone 17 Slim in 2025. That being said, there is conflicting information regarding this where some reporters suggest that this upcoming model is not meant to replace existing models; while others claim that it will replace the “Plus” in the lineup.
Design and Display
The iPhone 17’s design features a sleek, ultra-thin profile with a titanium-aluminium alloy metal frame, emphasizing form-factor above everything. Well, this could be a clever idea for Apple to get customers excited about the iPhone’s design again. The size of the dynamic island is likely going to stay the same while the screen size is going to be 6.6 inches, with a resolution of 2,740 x 1,260.
Speaking of the camera, the company’s super-slim iPhone may only have one main wide camera, meaning it would lack the ultrawide and telephoto lenses that have been staples within Apple’s premium iPhone lineup for years. Additionally, all iPhone 17 models, including the Slim, will feature an upgraded 24-megapixel front-facing camera which is a notable change from the 12-megapixel cameras found in current models.
The iPhone 17 will be powered by an A19 chip (not Pro) and will include Apple’s in-house 5G modem which hopefully will enhance connectivity.
iPhone 17 Slim Specifications (Rumored)
Design: Just about 5mm thick, slim body
Display: 6.6 “ inches with 2,740 x 1,260 resolution
Processor: A19 chip with Apple’s in-house 5g chip
Build: Titanium-aluminium alloy metal frame
Camera: 24MP front-facing cameras, Single rear camera (wide camera)
iPhone 17 Slim: Worth the price?
Well, if the company is prioritizing the form factor this time, what justifies charging $1300 for this model? There are hardly any wow factors about this phone as per the rumours. Including just one rear camera would help Apple keep the device slim and reduce bulk by saving significant space. However, charging the highest price of all the models for this one is quite underwhelming, especially considering that higher-end iPhones use the A19 Pro chip.
