Design and Display

As I mentioned earlier, the Acer Aspire 3 (2022) comes in a minimal design with just a simple company branding on the lid. The laptop’s case is made out of polycarbonate, however, it can be difficult to tell at a glance. Though available in multiple colour options in the international market, you only get it in a Silver finish in Nepal.

On the front, this laptop comes with a 15.6-inch display with a ComfyView finish. In simpler words, it has a matte texture which limits reflection on the screen. Meanwhile, the panel on the Acer Aspire 3 (2022) is a TN LCD which generally does not have great viewing angles. Additionally, it offers a 60Hz refresh rate with FHD resolution.

Performance

The computing on this laptop is handled by 12th-generation Intel Core processors. In the Nepali market, you get to choose between Intel i5-1235U and Intel i7-1255U for your Acer Aspire 3 (2022). On the other hand, it comes with a single choice in the graphics department i.e. NVIDIA MX550. This is an entry-level discrete GPU that is equipped with 2GB GDDR6 VRAM.

Other than that, the memory option on this laptop includes either 8GB or 16GB RAM. Likewise, the storage on the Acer Aspire 3 (2022) is handled by an SSD of up to 512GB capacity. You can further expand the storage on this thing by a TB with a separate hard disk. Contrarily, the laptop only supports a maximum memory of 16GB.

Redmi Note 13R launched and it’s barely an upgrade…

Redmi silently added a new member to its Note series. Even though it is the successor to Redmi Note 12R, there are barely any meaningful updates. Thus, the latest Redmi phone is more or less the repackaging of the same old thing. Anyway, let’s discuss the Redmi Note 13R further in this article including its price in Nepal.

Redmi Note 13R Overview

Design and Display

As I mentioned earlier, the phone has not changed much from its prior generation. This reigns true in terms of design as well. Given that, the overall outlook of the phone is the same. However, it does receive an updated finishing touch. The company website has two different entries for the Redmi Note 13R. One entry includes three colour options, two of which have a monotone finish and the remaining has wavy patterns. Meanwhile, the other entry comprises an additional three options with a shimmery finish and a distinct black camera island.

1 of 2

On the front, the phone dons a 6.79-inch LCD with FHD+ resolution. You get a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz on the Redmi Note 13R. Similarly, the screen also offers full DC dimming with 2047 dimming levels. Additionally, it also comes with a 240Hz touch sampling rate and a peak brightness of 550 nits.

Performance

The Redmi Note 13R does not get any update in terms of the primary processor. This means that this phone still ships with the same Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 under its helm. Software-wise, the phone thankfully ships with Xiaomi’s HyperOS out of the box instead of MIUI.

In the meantime, it is available in six different configurations divided between the two listings. The available memory and storage combo on this phone are 4GB+128GB, 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB.

Moving on to the cameras, the rear camera set remains unchanged with a 50MP primary shooter coupled with a 2MP macro lens. On the other hand, the front-facing camera has been upgraded to an 8MP unit.

The battery on the Redmi Note 13R also gets a slight bump to 5,030 mAh in comparison to 5,000 mAh on the last iteration. Likewise, the charging speed has also been increased from 18W to 33W this time.

Taking all the listings into consideration, the phone starts at CNY 999 and goes up to CNY 2,199.

Asus Vivobook (2024) notebooks are official in Nepal!

The 2024 iteration of the Vivobook lineup with new Intel processors is now available in the country. In this article, let’s discuss the latest Asus Vivobook laptops including the Vivobook 14 (2024), 15, and 16, their features, price in Nepal, and availability.

Asus Vivobook (2024) Overview

Design and Display

Not much has changed in the new Vivobook machines from the outside. You still get the iconic Vivobook cutout on the lid, the textured Enter key, and the same color options housed in the same chassis. That means more colorful choices for the smaller 14-inch and 15-inch while the 16-inch will have to do with just Silver & Black. Weight-wise, the Vivobook 14 weighs 1.4kg, while the 15 and 16-inch variants are a couple of hundred grams heavier at 1.7 and 1.88 kg respectively. They all feature Asus’ micro-bacterial Guard and boast military-grade endurance.

On the display side, you are getting Full HD screens on the Vivobook 14 and Vivobook 15 laptops. The 16-inch one can be configured with either a FHD+ screen or a sharper 1440p panel. All are equipped with 60Hz IPS screens with a modest 250 nits of brightness and varying color accuracy. Variants include 45% NTSC displays, 100% sRGB ones, and a special 100% Adobe colors one but only the former has arrived in Nepal thus far.

Performance and Memory

Powering the new Vivobook laptops is the Intel Core Series 1 processors. You get a pick between the Core 3 100U, Core 5 120U, and the Core 7 150U. Unlike the Meteor Lake Core Ultra processors, these are based on Raptor Lake architecture much like last year’s 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs. Hence, these do not get the upgraded Arc graphics and are based on less-efficient Intel 7 architecture.

Also Read:

As for the memory, the Vivobooks feature soldered memory with an additional SO-DIMM slot for future upgrades. There’s a single M.2 slot housing an NVME SSD.

Battery and Connectivity

Despite the difference in size, all Vivobook notebooks (2024) ship with 42Wh batteries with a 45W charger in the box. They feature single-stream WiFi 6 alongside Bluetooth 5.2. For wired connectivity, you get a USB 3.2 Type-C port, two USB 3 Type-A ports, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI, and an audio jack.

Asus ROG Strix G18 (2023) with RTX 4070 available for purchase in Nepal

In a bid to strengthen its hold in the premium gaming laptop segment, Asus has unveiled the new Strix G18 in Nepal. This gaming laptop features the latest processors for Intel and NVIDIA, as well as other gaming technology from Asus itself. The Asus ROG Strix G18 (2023) has now launched in Nepal, so let’s look at its specs, features, and official price.

Asus ROG Strix G18 (2023) Overview:

Performance

The new ROG Strix G18 packs the latest gaming components from Intel and NVIDIA. On the CPU front, you basically have the option to choose between two 13th-gen “Raptor Lake” processors. The base variant features the Core i7-13650HX, whereas you can get the i9-13980HX by spending a little extra.

There are relatively more options for the graphics. Here, you can pair the ROG Strix G18 from entry-level RTX 4050 up to RTX 4080 on the high-end. The latter is capable of drawing up to 175W of power whereas all other GPU variants max out at 140W.

New Tri-Fan Cooling Solution

While most gaming laptops feature a dual-fan setup, the ROG Strix G18 adds a third one solely for GPU and VRAM. This Tri-Fan technology was first introduced on the Flow X16 (2022) but Asus has scaled it for the new 16-inch and 18-inch ROG Gaming laptops. Likewise, Asus has also remodeled the full-width heatsink of the Flow X16 for the Strix G18. As a result, the new model has a 92.23% larger heat sink compared to its predecessor. This is paired with seven heat pipes and Asus also includes Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the models with RTX 4080 graphics.

Design and Display

Moving on, the Asus ROG Strix G18 comes with an 18-inch QHD “Nebula Display” that refreshes at 240Hz. It boasts a 3ms response rate and is compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync. Moreover, the screen boasts 500 nits of brightness and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. There is also a cheaper option with a WUXGA screen with a 165Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB coverage. It still retains the G-SYNC support and Dolby Vision HDR.

AYANEO launches a mini PC with APU and an adjustable display

AYANEO recently held an event where they revealed a bunch of retro products updated with modern-day hardware. The event showcased handheld consoles including a Game Boy-like offering, a graphics dock, a power bank, and a mini PC. In this article, we will highlight the latter product i.e. AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S and also discuss its price in Nepal.

AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S Overview

Design

This mini PC from AYANEO is the successor to the Retro Mini PC AM01 and gets an “S” added to its name. The device remotely resembles the Macintosh Plus — just like its predecessor — and looks like it is straight out of the 80s. It has got a bit of redesign, but, still gives the same retro vibe.

1 of 2

The AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S comes with a flip-up screen which is the first in the series. The company has not revealed the exact specifications of this panel as of yet. However, they do mention that it will display performance data while also allowing for performance mode adjustments. Given that, this display is likely a touchscreen. Other than that, this mini PC comes with a wide choice of port options. This includes two USB4s, two 2.5G ethernet, six USB Type-A, two HDMIs, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Performance

In terms of performance, the AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S relies on the Ryzen 8000HS series APU. To be more specific, this thing packs either a Ryzen 7 8845HS or a Ryzen 9 8945HS processor. Both these silicon are built on Zen 4 architecture, rely on AMD Radeon 780M for graphics, and come with AMD Ryzen AI. While there are a lot of similarities between the two processors, they are set apart by a slight difference in their clock speeds.

Additionally, the Chinese manufacturer has pushed the TDP of these chips by 20W and as a result, achieves a 65W TDP. In the meantime, AYANEO has also equipped the Retro Mini PC AM01S with a dual-fan cooling system to keep the thermals steady. Besides that, there is no information on the additional hardware of the device. Regardless, it will likely be available in various configurations as well as a barebone option similar to its previous iteration.

AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S Specifications

Design: Compact retro design with flip-up screen
Display: Multi-angle adjustable, touchscreen*
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS or Ryzen 9 8945HS (overclocked to 65W)
Ports: 2x USB4 (Type-C), 6x USB Type-A, 2x HMDI, 2x 2.5G Ethernet, 1x 3.5mm combo headphone jack, 1x DC-in
Colour: White

AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S Price in Nepal and Availability

The product was announced on 18 May 2024 through the company’s official portal. However, the company has neither revealed the launch date nor its pricing so far. The previous model went for anywhere between USD 199 to USD 499. Therefore, considering the upgrades, the AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S might go for upwards of USD 299, which translates to its price in Nepal being around NPR 47,599.

[The price I mentioned for this product is merely my speculation, hence, the official price will most definitely be different. And the chances of this mini PC making its way to Nepal is quite unlikely too.]

Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2024) Overview

Design and Display

Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2024) is an Intel Evo laptop, and that already gives us an idea of what’s it about. It boasts a slim frame measuring just around 10mm and weighing just a kilogram. Despite that, it is quite durable with its US MIL-STD-810H standard. In addition to that, it features a plasma ceramic aluminum body and comes with linear patterns on the lid.
