Epson Philippines participates in tree nurturing and forest regeneration activity at Masungi Georeserve

Epson Philippines recently visited the Masungi Georeserve in Rizal to take part in a tree care activity along the Legacy Trail. The Masungi Georeserve is located in the Sierra Madre mountain range. It helps shield Luzon from strong storms and heavy rains. The area also supports wildlife and provides resources to local communities. Instead of just planting new trees, the conservation work at Masungi focuses on looking after trees that are already there. This includes regular checks and maintenance to help them grow strong and support the forest over time. During the visit, Epson employees worked with Masungi park rangers. They learned how to care for trees properly and helped with tasks along the trail. The Legacy Trail is meant to teach visitors that taking care of nature is an ongoing job.

MacBook Neo: A18 Pro chip, 13″ IPS display, up to 16-hour battery, Optional Touch ID

After months of rumors, Apple finally launched its first budget laptop, the MacBook Neo. The MacBook Neo was apparently made for students and as an entryway to the Apple ecosystem. This one is powered by an A18 Pro chip, the same one used on the iPhone 16 Pro series in 2024. It only has 8GB of RAM and comes in 256GB and 512GB storage options. There’s also a Touch ID fingerprint scanner, but it’s exclusive to the 512GB option. A highlight of the Neo is the vibrant colors, which really speak to the market it’s for. It is available in Citrus, Indigo, Blush, and Silver. Sadly, no black. There’s a decent 13-inch Liquid Retina IPS display, with only a 60Hz refresh rate, and 3:2 aspect ratio. A 1080p FaceTime webcam is on top. There’s also the Apple Magic Keyboard, which lacks backlighting.
