Ayaneo Pocket MICRO 2 unveiled

Ayaneo has unveiled its latest Android-powered gaming handheld console, the Ayaneo Pocket MICRO 2. But for some reason, the full specs list for the new Ayaneo Pocket MICRO 2 was still not detailed. What they did say is that it will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor from its predecessor’s MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. Ayaneo recognized how users loved the compact design of the first Pocket Micro. Hence, they are keeping the same 3.5-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. Listening to users’ requests, Ayaneo has increased the battery capacity to 3,950mAh — a 52 percent increase from the Pocket MICRO. The new model was also upgraded to have recessed dual TMR joysticks, which offer better precision and durability. They also redesigned the shoulder buttons with a separate and larger layout. The D-pad and ABXY buttons are also bigger now. Ayaneo will launch the Pocket MICRO 2 in full detail this June 26, which is only a few moments away as of writing...

MacBook Neo gets a Php10,000 price hike

Apple has updated the prices of the MacBook Neo, and it’s now substantially pricier. The main reason that made the MacBook Neo popular is its price. With a starting price of just Php39,990, it was the cheapest and most attainable MacBook at launch. But now, it costs Php10,000 more. The 256GB base model now retails for Php49,990, while the 512GB model with TouchID is now priced at Php56,990. Outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook has previously expressed how price increases for Apple hardware products are “unavoidable” due to the current RAM shortage the global industry is facing. That said, we shall expect other Mac products to receive price increases soon, too. Then, it won’t be long until iPhones, iPads, and possibly even Apple Watches follow suit. This article, MacBook Neo gets a Php10,000 price hike , was originally published at NoypiGeeks | Philippines Technology News, Reviews and How to's.

DDR2 memory prices jump 60% as AI demand eats up chip supply

Prices for DDR2 memory, a standard introduced in 2003, shot up by up to 60% between April and June of this year. Market analysts at TrendForce say things will get worse, with another 35% to 40% jump expected in the next three months. So how did a two-decade-old chip become a hot commodity? The answer lies in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom. Big manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron have moved their production lines to make expensive, high-performance memory for AI servers. These chips earn them far bigger profits than the regular memory used in everyday gadgets. That change has created a domino effect. With fewer standard chips available, prices for newer RAM like DDR5 and DDR4 went up first. Companies that make electronics started looking for cheaper, older alternatives to keep their products affordable. They moved from DDR4 to DDR3, and then from DDR3 to DDR2. Now, even that ancient backup option is running low. The situation is made worse by the fa...

Senate bill proposes free toll, parking discounts for EV owners

Electric vehicle owners in the Philippines could soon enjoy more benefits if a new bill makes its way into law. The proposed legislation aims to expand the current perks for EV users and encourage more people to switch to electric cars. The bill, filed by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, adds several new incentives on top of what is already available under existing laws. Right now, EV owners are exempt from the Metro Manila number coding scheme and get faster processing from the Land Transportation Office . But with this new proposal, it would give Filipinos even more reasons to go electric. Among the proposed additions are free use of dedicated expressway lanes for EVs and discounts on parking fees. The bill also introduces a “buy now, register later” system, which would let buyers drive their new vehicles right away without waiting for paperwork. Another change is the extension of these benefits from 8 years to 12 years. Gatchalian, who also wrote the original ...
