MER Week Day 3 - Missed Opportunities

Summary: Nothing like dark biotic lunch to let you reflect on how shitty your love life is. Alistair’s got plenty to reflect on as he broods away with his jar of sour sugar - correction, homemade pixie sticks. Unfortunately for him, he’s about to add another one to his lack-of-body count. Man just can’t catch a break...

(Setting: Pre ME1)

---

02:00 Space time. It was the perfect time for stuffing your face with much needed carbs to keep the biotic system functioning.

“Don’t even think of turning that light on, my eyes are killing me.”

Alistair’s hand moved away from the switch and back to his favorite form of shoving carbs into his system – a mix of sugar, citric acid, and green food coloring that made up his version of pixie sticks. It was all the flavor, without having to deal with the stupid paper wrapper that got everywhere. Next to him, his sister was punching the buttons on the microwave. Inside, the family sized bag of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets was waiting to get spun around and nuked to edible temperatures.

“I wasn’t going to; my head hurts too.” He massaged the back of his neck, fingers brushing against his still-warm amp. He had used it a bit too much the day before, but at least it had cooled some. Hours earlier, it had been burning hot. Maybe the headache was the result of that, or maybe it was the ship’s pressurization. Either way, no lights were fine by him.

Besides, lights might have made someone else on the Normandy realize they were there. The last thing he needed was to talk to someone other than Bo right then.

“Good. If I have to deal with Jenkins asking me to test my biotics on him again, I’m going to scream. He should just go bother Alenko for that…” Bo trailed off, one red eye meeting him across the kitchen. “Unless you’re interested in giving it a shot.”

The thought caused him to snort as he dug in the drawer for a suitable spoon. Most people liked tablespoons, but they usually had bigger mouths than him. It would take a little longer, but a teaspoon fit his smaller hands perfectly. Maybe someone in the crew would joke about that, but they were smart enough not to do it to his face. What they did behind his back, he didn’t care. He didn’t have to hear it, and that was good enough for him.

“Already tried that, actually. He doesn’t like how I do it.” A spoonful of sugar soon found its way into his mouth and the sour taste did wonders for his headache. “You should’ve heard him complain when I didn’t toss him full force. I swear, Jenkins has a death wish or something.”

Bo snorted as she watched her nuggets go for a ride in the radiation machine. “He’d get it with me, there are no safety stops on the murder machine. Maybe it’s for the best if he gets his ride from Alenko. After he breaks something, he can go to you or Chakwas to get it fixed. Maybe you should just standby, it’ll give you plenty of chances to talk to him.”

The thought made Alistair cringe as he looked down at his jar of sugar. “Yeah… about that… maybe it’s for the best if I don’t go around Kaidan for a while.”

Memories from the prior week still played in his mind whenever he got the chance to close his eyes – it was like the universe wanted to remind him how stupid it had been. He could still see the look on his fellow biotic’s face and see the change in his eyes. It had just been a simple request – to hang out on their next shore leave, maybe grab dinner.

The dinner idea had made the man ask if he was asking him out. Naturally, Alistair was shit at lying, so he’d had to come out with the truth. Yes, it had been a soft way of asking Kaidan out on a date. And… well, it hadn’t ended well. Kaidan had been nice about it, and he appreciated that, but in the end, it was a politely given no. The offer was still up to hang out as friends, but… honestly, he wasn’t sure if he could do it right then. Just looking at the man made him embarrassed now, even if he respected that no.

He should’ve been used to being turned down, but it still hurt a little. He’d probably be over it in a few weeks, maybe less if they got busy with the next location they were heading towards. Alistair just had to hang in until then.

“Oh, so I don’t have to be nice to him anymore. Great. He’s been annoying the hell out of me.” The microwave dinged and the sound of plastic tearing signified the beginning of the carnage of all breaded dinosaur kind. “Fuck him.”

Alistair chuckled softly as he went for another mouthful of sugar. “He has a right to say no, Bo.”

“And I have the right to judge his shitty taste.” A tyrannosaurus lost its head to Bo’s incisors as she took her bag to the table. At least she was sitting down this time. Since she was, he joined her with his jar of what was basically sour sugar, spoon still in hand.

Well, he couldn’t talk her out of that. He knew better. Hopefully, it would be a quick couple of weeks.

For a few moments, they ate in silence. With every spoonful of sugar, Alistair felt his headache ache a little less. It was probably just a placebo effect to bootleg pixie sticks, but he was going to take anything he could get right then. Another spoonful it was – at least his CGM would be happy for once.

Thanks to that, he could hear the sounds of the Normandy around him. They were still settling into the new ship, so he was getting used to all the noises it made. Right now, they were shooting through FTL, so the engines hummed along as they kept everything steady. It was a low rhythm he found himself sinking into as he took another spoon of his snack. He might not have been on the ship for long, but he got the feeling he’d like it.

How could he not? The Normandy was kind of sexy…

“I can hear you sexualizing the ship from here, Al.”

Bo snickered as he turned away, cheeks growing warm in the dark. Instead of saying anything, he just took another mouthful of sugar. That was a point lost to him in the endless game they played. He was behind, and probably always would be. She was just too good at getting to him. Really, she was the best example of a little sister anyone could think of. It was honestly scary sometimes.

You think being a former younger sister he’d have the same power, but apparently not. Fuck that.

“You and your ship fetish. Better get in line, I think Joker’s in first place.” The next victim was a triceratops, missing its tail due to the company’s processing blades. Oh well, it was missing other things soon enough. “Well, either him or that weird turian who’s been skulking around. What’s his name again? He’s been all over the lower decks lately, I think it’s pissing engineering off.”

Nilhus. Nilhus Kryik.

Just thinking about him made Alistair’s face feel hot. He sought comfort in his sugar, trying not to think too hard about the man. They hadn’t really talked much, but from what he saw… well, would it be too much to say he liked what he was seeing?

Probably… shit. He was no good at this crush thing.

“I think he’s just… checking things out. I don’t know, it’s weird having a Spectre onboard. I’m not even sure where he’s sleeping…” He licked his spoon thoughtfully. “I mean, the Normandy was also designed by turians, so there has to be a spot somewhere comfortable for them. I would need to check the specs…”

Bo was giving him that look again as she dug for more dinosaurs. “Trying to find a good makeout spot, huh? You’re not subtle, Al.”

No… no he wasn’t. And that’s what got him in trouble.

What also got him in trouble was sitting in the dark apparently. All too suddenly, the lights flicked on, temporarily blinding him as pain rushed to the front of his head. Alistair hissed and dropped his spoon, hearing it clatter to the floor below. Next to him, he could hear Bo doing the same thing, only she didn’t drop her nuggets. Only a direct enemy attack could cause that to happen.

“Damn it, turn the fucking light off!”

“I didn’t know anyone was in here.” The light flicked off, returning them to darkness. “I thought humans ate with the lights on.”

The smooth, translated voice made Alistair sit up a little straighter. A dull panic wormed its way into his stomach as he managed to open his eyes and look over his shoulder. There was a turian standing in the entrance to the kitchen, talons still on the light switch.

Wasn’t it just his luck that Nihlus was a night person?

“Dark biotic lunch runs by different rules.” Bo’s tone was just asking for a fight as she reached down to grab his spoon. “Doubt there’s anything in here you can eat anyway.”

Nilhus moved towards the fridge, the very picture of a man on a mission. “I stored some energy rations in here when I arrived on ship.”

He met Alistair’s gaze, then those eyes moved towards the jar on the table. “Is… that a jar of sugar?”

Well… if you wanted to get technical…

Alistair got up from the table in order to wash his spoon, avoiding Nihlus’ gaze. “It’s my recipe for pixie sticks… there’s not enough in the little tubes for me and it saves on packaging.”

“Pixie… sticks.”

Yep, that was a tone that told him to forget any sort of crush he’d had on the man – he was officially in the fucking weird category for life. All he could hope for was that it didn’t affect their working relationship, whatever the turian was doing on their ship.

What was he doing there anyway? Nobody was exactly clear about that…

“I’d say don’t knock it until you try it, but I don’t think there’s a dextro safe version.” Clean spoon in hand, Alistair returned to the table. “Er… enjoy your energy rations? Don’t exactly think that’s possible though…”

His voice trailed off as Nihlus left with his snack without another word. As soon as he was gone, his forehead found the table with a light thump. That was not going to do wonders for his headache to say the least, but he didn’t care then.

Strike three, you’re out.

“Don’t sweat it, you’re too good for him. What kind of asshole looks down his… shit, he doesn’t have a nose does he…” Bo was lost in thought for a moment as she munched on her nuggets. “Anyway, fuck him.”

Well, he wasn’t going to be doing that…

“The correct term would probably be face plates, but it doesn’t sound as good.”

“Damn aliens and their lack of anatomy we can use for insults.” His sister nudged his jar closer. “Best way to get over a shitty crush is food, so you might as well eat up.”

That it was. Alistair sighed as he sat up, taking advantage of his clean spoon in order to get another mouthful. At this rate, he was just going to be single until he died. Maybe that was for the best – it helped keep him focused on missions.

But damn, did the universe have to keep teasing him with hot guys he had no chance with?

Oh well, at least he had his jar of homemade pixie stick formula for those long nights when he was up brooding over his lack of a love life. At least that would never let him down. So, another mouthful it was, there in the dark of the kitchen with his sister.

On the bright side, at least Eden Prime should be a nice place to go… it sounded decent enough. Maybe it would take his mind off things.

[livesincerely]

[Bits & Bobs] take a shot (but how's your aim?)

For the life of him, Jack can’t figure out how the situation went south so quickly.

Tucked underneath his arm, Maggie pushes a bit of corn nervously around her plate and says, “So, how do you all know Jack?”

It’s her fourth attempt at starting a conversation, and it goes about as well as all the others have. The boys remain silent, throwing each other side-along looks or ducking their heads towards the table; Racetrack goes as far as to let out a dismissive snort.

Thoroughly fed up, Jack aims a kick under the table at Albert, who’s closest. Albert grits his teeth but he still doesn’t answer. Jack kicks him again, even harder.

“We’s all Newsies,” Al says shortly. “So we live together and we work together.”

Maggie latches onto this barren statement like a life line.

“And what’s being a Newsie like?” she asks eagerly. “It must be exciting, getting to roam the city, meeting different people everyday���“

“It ain’t exactly fun and games,” Racetrack scornfully interrupts. “It’s workin’ in the sun all day and gettin’ spat at and havin’ta fight for weeks justa get treated decent by folks who should know bett’r.”

“Oh,” Maggie says. “Of course. The strike.” She takes a breath and determinedly continues, “Yeah, it was incredible! The work you all did—you inspired so many people! How did you manage to keep protesting? It must of been really difficult—“

“I thought ya said ya worked at The World?” Racetrack says, cutting Maggie off again. “You must not be payin’ enough attention—it was front page news.”

“Race,” Jack says in warning.

“I’m just sayin’, it was right there in black and white.”

“Racetrack, I swear to god—“

It’s Davey that saves the day. “So, Maggie,” he forcefully interjects, a smile plastered woodenly across his face. “Tell us a little more about yourself.”

Maggie blinks at the sudden friendliness after a half hour of painful silence and cutting remarks. Tentatively she answers, “I’m one of the type setters in the inking office. It’s a good position—they need girls with small fingers to adjust some of the fiddly bits on the different machines.”

Davey nods. “You must be good with your hands,” he offers. “Is that a knitting project, there in your bag?”

Maggie looks startled, then pleased at change in topic. “Oh, yes! I’m working on a scarf for my Grandmother.”

“Ain’t it a little hot for a scarf?” Romeo comments, to no one in particular.

“But it’s never too early to get started,” Davey firmly redirects before things can turn sour. “You know, Buttons here is really into crafts and such.”—Buttons glances up, clearly surprised at being thrown into the conversation—“I’m sure he’d love to hear more about it.”

Buttons mutters something under his breath, too quiet for Jack to make out. Then it looks like Davey pinches him just under the armpit.

“...What kinda needles are you using?” Buttons reluctantly asks.

Maggie answers, her enthusiasm starting to grow as the conversation continues more or less smoothly, and Buttons expression turns grudgingly interested.

Jack attempts to throw Davey a grateful smile but can’t quite catch his eye for some reason. He makes a mental note to do something nice for him, as a thanks for not being a complete ass like everyone else.

Speaking of everyone else, Jack uses the moment of calm to look around at the others.

It’s a sea of dissatisfaction: Albert’s wearing a sullen frown, Racetrack’s got his arms crossed over his chest, Specs is doing that thing where he keeps cleaning and re-cleaning his glasses, Crutchie keeps glancing at him like he’s lost his damn mind— what the hell is wrong with everyone? Even Katherine seems to be in a bad mood, though she’s doing a slightly better job at hiding it, lips pursed and fingers drumming against the table’s edge.

Jack’s still trying to figure it all out when the sound of his name catches his attention.

“—I’ll have to see about making something for Jackie too,” Maggie is saying, and she tugs playfully at Jack’s collar. “Maybe some fingerless gloves, so he can wear them while he draws.”

“Aw, you don’t gotta go outta your way for me, Mags,” Jack says.

“It’s not going out of my way,” Maggie says. “I want to do something nice for my boyfriend.”

She leans up a kisses him, a sweet little peck on the lips.

There’s a clatter and the screech of silverware scraping against ceramic. Jack pulls away just in time to watch Davey jump to his feet—it looks like he’s upended his plate all down his front.

“Excuse me,” Davey mumbles to the floor. “I just, I gotta—“ He makes a beeline towards the bathrooms.

Jack leans forward in his chair, his weight shifting to the balls of his feet. Racetrack shoots him a truly venomous look and Jack falls back into his seat before he’d really even begun to stand.

“I’ll go help him,” Racetrack declares, then darts up to follow Davey.

“Is everything alright?” Maggie asks uncertainly.

“I’m sure Racetrack’s got it handled,” Jack says, though he’s not too sure himself.

Without Davey to facilitate, the conversation stutters and stalls. Maggie hesitantly asks Katherine about her latest article; Katherine has the decency to answer her, though her expression is still incredibly pinched around the edges.

Jack lingers for a few minutes, knee bouncing the entire time. He says, “I’m gonna see about gettin’ another glass of water,” then gets up before anyone can stop him. He heads towards the front counter, glances behind him to see if anyone’s watching, then sneaks over to the bathroom.

He lifts a hand to knock, opens his mouth to say, “Are you doin’ alright in there?” but the sound of Racetrack’s voice makes him pause.

“—it’s gotta be hard on ya.”

“Of course it’s fucking hard,” Davey replies, and Jack’s shocked at the bitterness in his tone. “But you guys aren’t making it any easier.”

Racetrack again, low and soothing. “We just want ya to know we got your back.”

Davey laughs. It’s not a happy sound. “That wasn’t having my back, Race, that was making me do all the work when I’m the one who shouldn’t have to!”

Silence. Jack cranes his head even closer, ears straining to hear.

“Davey,” Racetrack starts, and there’s a world of apology in his voice. “Davey you gotta know, if I’da known, if any of us had any clue, we never woulda—“

“I know, Race.” Davey says quietly. “I know, it’s not your fault. It’s not anyone’s fault. We were just... wrong, I guess.”

There’s a sound like a sob, then Davey’s voice comes again, quivering and wet. “I just feel like such an idiot—“

“Oh, Davey.”

[greensconnor]

i’m asking about your dragon age characters

molly i would KILL for u im ur personal hitman now

anyway i said my city now because the entire bioware writing team sucks shit xoxo and i’m so much smarter than all of them but also fully incapable of having a normal amount of ocs for anything (see: the time i made 20 rwby ocs in less than two weeks) so i have. five worldstates here r some assorted thoughts

uhhh so the worldstates r as follows

eira mahariel (two-handed berserk/champ spec), rhett hawke (two-handed berserk spec), alas lavellan (mage knight enchanter spec), romanced alistair/fenris/dorian respectively

shiv tabris (dual wield duelist/assassin spec), radella “rads” hawke (mage spirit healer spec), kat adaar (two-handed reaver spec), romanced morrigan/isabela/cassandra respectively because im a pc gamer and i think i should be able to date whatever video game woman i like because im infinitely better than cishet men

this world state said yeah i respect mens rights. mens rights to shut the fuck up

twins bronson (sword/shield reaver spec) & bryant cousland (archer ranger spec), carmine hawke (archer assassin spec), syracuse trevelyan (dual wield tempest spec), romanced zevran/anora/josephine/bull. if ur wondering how that works my city now and the warden, hawke and the inquisitor should all meet and so they do because i Said So

riva amell (mage arcane warrior/battlemage spec), graham “gray” hawke (mage force spec), hellathen “hela” lavellan (archer assassin spec); romanced cullen/anders and later blackwall because hawke only likes men who will break his heart. hela doesn’t have a romance because she’s literally 20. who let her lead the inquisition (me it was me). also it should be noted the version of cullen i have in my head only vaguely resembles actual cullen because i write better than dragon age writers ever could and i gave him an Actual Cohesive Narrative and he gets bullied relentlessly for being scrawnier than his mage boyfriend

malien “mal” surana (mage spirit healer/keeper spec), jules hawke (sword/shield reaver spec), ash adaar (mage rift spec), romanced leliana/merrill/krem because i should have been able to kiss krem and its a Crime that i am not allowed to

knight enchanter is a Very op specialization and by Very op i mean it makes a mage with their built-in low constitution stats able to solo the biggest baddest dragon in the game on nightmare mode in under five minutes so like. alas lavellan fist fights dragons for fun send tweet

i think lavellans should be able to hit ppl with bricks for all the shit they endure. thus solas gets pranked by mahariel and alas by which i mean they just tip buckets of water onto him from the rookery

kat might be my only competent inquisitor but she did also try to knock out the right hand of the divine and attempt to gap even tho there’s fucky magic burning up her hand so does she have a brain cell? you decide

also its fantasy land and i do what i want so kat has blue/gold sectoral heterochromia

gray “mage rights” hawke is best friends with fenris which surprises literally everyone. their friendship started because they got into a fist fight and then they were like okay i respect u now. hawke is like hey fenris give me ur sword i have a fun trick to show u [uses his sword as a foci to zap carver in the ass with lightning]

i am Always thinking abt like how cullen could have been one man anti-chantry propaganda machine if he hadn’t so blatantly been shoehorned into every game past origins so anyway bioware forgot about a wholeass moon i can write what i like. [holds up cullen by the scruff of his stupid armor] not only are you bisexual you are also a bottom

i also Hate the whole uwu mage haters get fixed by romancing a mage

unlocked secret dialogue option where my inquisitors verbally cuss out dorian’s dad instead of whatever sympathetic narrative the writers were going for cuz its bullshit.

riva is a showoff and a Menace about being as good as he is because he unabashedly loves being a mage and hes like oooh look at me im sexy i dont need to use my hands to cast magic because i’m just that good ;)) and you know what. hes right.

gray, on the other hand, does Not want to be mage. he wants to be a druffalo farmer and retire in the hinterlands and be left the fuck alone. unfortunately he is gay and has one brain cell and terrible, terrible taste in men. ribbed relentlessly for this by riva (altho does he have room to talk hes been hung up on cullen since he was like 13)

shiv is trans n kieran is the result of doing the dark ritual with her wife and he looks a Lot like shiv (dark skin pointed ears, shock-white hair) and morrigan always just Assumed she dyed it or did something magic with it so seeing their kid come out like that was a WEIRD time for her

leliana almost Murdered by cassandra in worldstate 5 because the warden is Actually There The Whole Time, but its been 10 years, mal’s cut off all her hair and gotten full facial tattoos and she’s like “no one will know its me its fine” and she’s right. she gets away with it. only cullen like, Knows, because he knew her before the blight but he doesnt have a death wish n he like. will Not piss her off

shes dalish by birth n she was stolen from her clan by templars and thus is vehemently anti-circle and anti-chantry in general

uhhh the vallaslin (elf face tattoos) of my 4 dalish characters are:

eira = ghilan’nain (chose em cuz shes rlly interested in the navigation aspect of the goddess)

alas = falon’din (god of the dead n he picked them because he’s Also the god of fortune and alas is like tee hee fun but also he can and will kill u if u fuck with him so yk its fitting)

hela = june (god of the craft bc she likes to Make things but june is also the god who taught the elves 2 hunt and hela is. a hunter.)

mal = elgar’nan (allfather/god of vengeance bc. she is Vengeful. she is Angry. but yk fucking with shem politics and fucking their divine is like. mal may have little a retribution. as a treat.) yes she has the full half-face solid colour tattoo she does NOT fuck around.

bronson and bryant r not genetically identical but they Look similar enough 2 anyone who doesn’t know them well enough 2 play spot the distance. anora and bronson think this is a super fun game to play, especially when nobles realize they’ve swapped out the king but they’re too nervous to say anything

eira mahariel has two hands. one is for holding hands with alistair and the other is for throttling elven gods, apparently. she’s killed one before so solas she’s coming for your bitch ass next. watch urself.

speaking of eira and alistair are married thru dalish tradition and humans don’t recognize it n alistair loves 2 re-propose to her with random things. he’ll just pick up like. a bit of cheese and be like “marry me ;)” and she’s like GASP but whatever will the chantry say!!!! all of their friends r sick of them

“vhenan if you love me bring me a sword” “you think i could do better than a sword made out of space rock?” “:)”

eira is my youngest hero at 18 at the start of her game and kat is my oldest at 32 at the start of her game.

none of my hawkes are under six foot. rhett is the tallest (6′8″) and rads is the shortest (6′2″).

syracuse trevelyan would have been the Perfect inquisitor if he were not a pretty boy himbo and a gay bastard who does Most Things just to spite his parents.

[corypheus pointing at syracuse’s visage in his crystal orb thingo] i want that twink obliterated

i love the companions from older games return thing i truly do so i make it a point for Every companion to return in inquisition so the gang rlly is all here because i am a Slutte for found family

i lie in my keep worldstates because i dont want to choose between hawke and alistair during here lies the abyss but i never make him king and every time i play inquisition and cole has the wicked grace line it makes me Scream. alistair baby im so sorry i did this to you but i didnt actually do this to you

yes this is my everyone lives au but like. all the time. i have never left hawke in the fade and i do not intend to.

fuck whatever nonsense about wardens not being able 2 have kids. by sheer divine power (me) anora and bryant have three daughters; eleanor, sabina & cecelia n both bronson and zevran make Excellent uncles because i think anora deserves good things because i’m tired of bioware being like women bad, actually,

so like most of the time i have the warden & hawke turning up after the move to skyhold n then staying on, with the exception of bryant, carmine & mal. mal is as mentioned previously just There the whole time with her girlfriend. bryant steps in as king of ferelden w/ interests in closing the big hole in the sky spewing demons in2 his kingdom yk. carmine shows up because she wants to help & she wants protection for bethany but she outright says she’d rather die than be inquisitor so cassandra is shit out of luck.

“CHANGE HER MIND VARRIC” “she once doubled down on insisting amaranth was a shade of blue because she didn’t want to admit to being wrong. no one’s changing her mind seeker”

alas is the middle child of eight and is thus very good with children and also bossing around people older than him. 2 of his older siblings come to the inquisition when stuff in wycome has been settled

i left ash with the basic canon background with Some variation (he grew up under the qun and left of his own free will when his magic was discovered n he realized he couldn’t take living as a saarebas

kat on the other hand was raised tal-vashoth and has bounced around basically all over thedas and leads her own merc company when the conclave blows up. she also speaks multiple languages. is there a language she doesn’t speak? probably not

just realized how long this got so im gonna like. stop my general rambling now but lmao yeah theres some basics. waves hands.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 5, WFH Overview

Disclosure

I am a Lenovo INsider (it is a customer advocacy program), but I'm way more in the super fan category, than an influencer (whatever that is these days). I did acquire this using a discount provided by Lenovo, but it was with no assumption made that I would write a review, or otherwise promote this product. Words and opinions are my own, I promote what I like.

I don’t do affiliate links, or make any money from this. I just like tech. :)

Okay!

I've been using the X1 Yoga Gen 5 as my personal machine since May of 2020. It has all my work software loaded, and I do use it to work, but it has fallen into a more comfortable use case because of the pandemic. I haven't had the opportunity to travel, and test the 4G LTE functionality as I would have liked, so this review is going to revolve around the device from a work from home perspective. When the pandemic is over, I'll update this review with a report on travel worthiness.

Thinkpad Things

It has all the usual Thinkpad goodness. Famous Thinkpad MIL-SPEC testing, perfect keyboard experience, track point, and sturdy construction.

What's a little different is the CNC aluminum chassis. I've owned a few other laptops that boast this material and build, and they are nice, but Lenovo has done something with it I can't quite describe. Aluminum products always feels a little sloppy in the hand. Depending on milling tolerances and anodizing, things made of aluminum seem blobby and lacking precision when looking at a product. The X1 Yoga Gen 5 almost doesn't feel real, held in the hand, knowing what it's made of.

I don't find myself pressing my thumb against any part of it, and wishing the chassis met up a little better, or wanting the lid to close more uniformly. Most aluminum chassis laptops are just off, somewhere, throwing them off everywhere. Even my very premium Lenovo C940 Yoga, made of aluminum, feels off in the way everything comes together. The X1 Yoga Gen 5 doesn't suffer from any of that, everything feels straight and true on the laptop.

Whatever Lenovo did here, they should keep doing it, if they're going to have more laptops with an aluminum chassis in their lineup.

Work From Home

On those days that I don't want to leave my couch, or mess with a charger, the Low-Power Display options has been really nice. At night, I can turn the display down really low, and during the day it'll get close to 400 nits. This is really nice because I can wake up with my laptop, carry it around with me all day, and have it on during the evening to poke at work, or personal projects.

I mention this because my Lenovo Yoga C940 has a UHD IPS, glossy, HDR 400, 500 nits display, that I can't use comfortably in a dark room. Even at the lowest setting, the screen is too bright. It's not a complaint I thought I would ever have, but here we are. If I was carrying it to a brightly lit office, or coffee shop, and using it to run presentations for clients and customers, it'd be great. Working from home all day, not so much.

If you're getting anything for work from home, definitely look for matte finish, low-power display options, with a 400 nit brightness ceiling.

The 720 HD Webcam and four array microphones (360° far-field) work better than expected for video chat. I'm on camera 2-3 times a week for about 15 hours during the day and night. I've not had any complaints about the ability of others to hear or see me during meetings, or Dungeons & Dragons on Discord. There was the usual battle with Windows 10 to find the microphone hardware, and get things set up, but smooth sailing after that.

For handwriting capture and light artwork tasks, the Lenovo Pen Pro housed in the silo on the right side of the machine does the job well. Pen input with the included stylus is good, latency also good. I would recommend buying a second stylus if you're going to do any serious artwork requiring comfort and precision.

WFH Accessories

If you're looking to really up your WFH game, I recommend these:

The Lenovo Mod Pen

I don't know why, but all the marketing makes this look like a chubby marker as opposed to an elegant writing instrument. The image of the pen isn't formatted properly on the website. That said, it is a fantastic pen stylus, with Wacom Pen Protocol goodness, tilt, and rechargeable. Just got one of these, love it.

ThinkVision T34w-20 34-inch Curved 21:9 Ultrawide Monitor with USB Type-C

Connects to the X1 Yoga Gen 5 with one cable, and has the screen real estate of two screens. It has a Low Blue Light color mode that makes it perfect for dim conditions, and the color profile pairs nicely with that of the Low Power display on the X1 Yoga. The monitor has a USB hub, with an always on port (you activate in the monitor settings menu) to charge your phone or Lenovo Mod Pen.

Lenovo Bluetooth Silent Mouse

There's a point, working from home, where I get really sensitive to every little click or sound. Usually, I'll just go to a place with a lot of soft background noise, like a coffee shop, to reset. The pandemic makes that hard, so I'm always looking at ways to make computing a little quieter. I really like this mouse, both in the feel and shape, and in the reduced noise it makes.

When I actually get to travel, I'll update this review with what I like to take with me, including the service provider I end up using for LTE in the US (or elsewhere).

Charging Accessories

Lenovo makes a bunch of keen charging accessories, I’ve tested them, all good. My favorite two have gotta be these for anything that is 65W (Smart Phones, Nintendo Switch, most Tablets, UltraBooks), and charges over a USB-c / TB port. Lenovo 65W USB-C GaN Adapter

Lenovo Slim USB-C 65W AC Adapter 

Had another INsider report that they got a whine from the GaN Adapter, but that hasn’t been my experience. I usually have headphones on, anyway, but after hearing there might be an issue I spent about 90 minutes reading beside my laptop while it was on, charging up from about 12 percent.

All good, but the GaN Adapters are new tech, and like anything, there’s probably some bugs still to be worked out. The Slim USB-C is just a little slimmer in the bag, and lighter on the shoulder to carry. If you really like to optimize your daily carry situation, I highly recommend it.

Conclusion

It feels like I was often making comparisons between my Lenovo C940 Yoga, and the Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 5. It is worth mentioning that I have some fabricating and purchasing experience with aluminum products, and when it comes to how they are made, I am the prettiest pink princess. Most people won't be able to tell there is something off with one aluminum chassis when compared to another, or have any criticism. If you are a PPP like me, and the details really make or break a purchase, the Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 5 delivers like no other aluminum product I've held in my hands.

The Lenovo Yoga C940 is still a favorite product of mine, and I've written a review of it here.

It makes me curious about the Lenovo X1 Titanium Yoga, because it has everything I feel like the X1 Yoga Gen 5 is kind of missing; 3:2 aspect ratio with a 2k display option (there is perhaps nothing better than this), and a premium graphics option, Intel Iris Xe. If they've been able to work aluminum this well, I'll bet a Titanium product will be just as good. One thing you do lose with the Titanium model, the Lenovo Pen Pro that slides into the chassis. The Titanium Yoga is just too small and thin (almost a half pound lighter than the X1 Yoga Gen 5) to accomodate it.

Xbox Series X Review

https://ift.tt/3ka2zwJ

After spending over a week with Microsoft’s top-of-the-line next-gen console, one thing is clear: the Xbox Series X is a powerful machine, and an impressive hardware upgrade for anyone looking for a home console that can run games at 4K resolution and up to 120 frames per second. The Series X is also lightning fast thanks to its custom 1TB NVME SSD and Velocity Architecture, which seriously cuts down on load times, and the console also features many other quality of life improvements that make it the best way to play Xbox games in 2020. But even a console this fast can’t outrun its most glaring issue: a lack of next-gen exclusives at launch to justify making the upgrade on day one, even if its impressive 4K upscaling and Auto HDR technology does enhance the console’s vast library of past-gen experiences.

Before we jump into the games, let’s talk about the hardware itself. I covered the console’s physical attributes more closely in my unboxing article, but the short of it is that the Xbox Series X is a big, hefty piece of hardware. At about 5.9 inches wide and 11.8 inches tall, and weighing in at 9.8 pounds, the Xbox Series X isn’t quite PC tower size but it’s still massive when compared to most other home consoles. While its absolutely dwarfed by the 15.4 inch tall PlayStation 5, you may still have trouble finding a spot for the Series X in your home entertainment center. I certainly had to get creative with the Ikea TV stand in my living room, and ultimately had to lay the console on its side in order for it to (barely) fit in one of the shelves.

And while I find the Xbox Series X’s minimalist, monolith-shaped design to be eye-catching and a refreshingly clean look when compared to its next-gen competition and PC gaming rigs bathed in RGB lighting, Microsoft’s console looks much less cool when in its horizontal position. It’s true that putting the Series X in either its natural vertical or alternate horizontal position takes a lot less effort compared to the PS5’s removable stand, but I think Microsoft might have sacrificed a better horizontal solution for the sake of convenience to the player. When in the horizontal position, the Series X’s round stand sticks out of the left side of the console, a slightly ugly appendage that you can’t remove from the console’s otherwise clean shape. Maybe I’m seriously nitpicking here, but the point is that this console wants to stand in the vertical position, and I’d advise you to figure out how to display the Series X the way it was meant to be shown off.

You can check out the unboxing video below to hear way more of my thoughts on the console’s shape, size, and design:

Once you turn on the Xbox Series X, set up the console with your Xbox Live account, and sync it to the Xbox app on your phone — and I suggest you do so you can enable Remote Play and more Share options, which we’ll get to in a bit — the first thing you’ll notice is how quiet this machine is. Unless you put your ear real close to the vents at the top of the console, you won’t even hear a low hum from the Series X’s single “whisper-quiet” fan. In fact, the only time I was able to actually hear the Series X from the other side of my living room was while installing a game from a disc, the console’s 4K UHD Blu-ray optical drive working quickly to install the 32GB Mad Max. Still, the virtually silent Series X is a major improvement over the mechanical sound of the original Xbox’s hard drive and loud hum of the Xbox 360 and Xbox One’s fans.

Speaking of fans, the powerful airflow solution in the Xbox Series X is very good at keeping the console’s components relatively cool most of the time. Generally, what you’ll feel when putting your hand close to the console’s vents is a gentle breath of cool to tepid air. Things get a little hotter inside the Xbox when you’re playing Optimized for Series X titles like Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4 at 4K 60fps, but the heat levels never felt all that alarming. I didn’t have a fancy thermal camera to test heat levels in the console, so I’d suggest you check out Digital Foundry’s excellent breakdown of the console’s power efficiency if you want to get into the nitty gritty.

The Xbox Series X’s specs have always been impressive on paper. Back in March, when we finally learned the specs of both consoles, we even speculated the Series X would be slightly more powerful than its next-gen competitor. It’s obviously too early to give a final verdict on the XSX vs. PS5 debate, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that Microsoft’s console has an advantage out the gate, boasting a more powerful CPU and GPU, even if the PS5’s potentially game-changing SSD has commanded much of the technical discussion.

Here are the main Xbox Series X specs you need to know:

Let’s talk about the console’s custom 12 teraflop GPU. While it might not be able to eclipse NVIDIA’s brand new line of GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs in terms of the raw specs, this is still an incredibly powerful graphics card when it comes to the home console market. Ever since it announced the Xbox Series X, Microsoft has had a clear mission: to make 4K 60fps the standard for all next-gen Xbox titles, while looking ahead at an 8K resolution future. After spending a bit of time playing Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4, and Sea of Thieves at 4K 60fps, it’s clear that Microsoft has absolutely knocked it out of the park.

While the Xbox Series X has no first-party next-gen exclusives at launch, which may make some players pause when considering the console’s $499 price tag, this machine does a lot to improve the Xbox experiences you already love. Playing Gears 5 at higher resolution brings the game’s diverse landscapes to life like never before, with improved textures and particle counts, while the inclusion of raytraced shadows and lighting makes all of the environments more immersive than ever before. There is some seriously beautiful lighting in this game to begin with, but the Optimized for Series X version of Gears 5 feels like the most fully realized take on this world. The higher framerate provides a better gameplay experience as well, especially when it comes to shooting mechanics, which feel silky smooth, a major boon when taking on Grubs.

Players can also set the framerate of Gears 5 multiplayer to 120fps, which provides the best look at the Series X’s current graphical ceiling (while the console is 8K-ready, there aren’t any 8K titles out to actually showcase that resolution). While I’m not sure I can tell as much of a difference between 60fps and 120fps when compared to the absolutely massive framerate jump between 30fps and 60fps, the ability to play a game on a home console at framerates that were once considered possible only on PC is no less impressive.

Ultimately, the jump to 60- and 120fps is a much bigger improvement to the home console experience than 1080p vs. 4K resolutions, especially when playing competitive shooters, racing, and fighting games, which demand quick reaction times and low latency. The clearer 4K resolution is certainly an improvement worth commending — just look at how good Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves look in the 4K screenshots taken from my Xbox Series X — but I’d pay more attention to what games you can turn all the way up to 120fps.

Unfortunately, there weren’t many Optimized for Series X games to actually try during the review period — only the Xbox One version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon was available ahead of the embargo, for example — so it remains to be seen how new titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion, current-gen games that are also Optimized for Series X and will boast 4K 60fps visuals, will perform at launch. What I’ve seen from the three optimized games I tried so far bodes well for the rest of the Xbox Series X’s launch lineup, though.

As I said at the start of this review, the Xbox Series X doesn’t have any first-party next-gen games on its list of launch titles, so it’s impossible to say how the Xbox Series X will perform when true next-gen experiences arrive to push that GPU and SSD to its limits. With Halo Infinite delayed to 2021, and other first-party releases like Obsidian’s Avowed, Ninja Theory’s Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and Playground’s new Fable game still a way’s away, we may be at least a year out from seeing what the console can really do.

Fortunately, there’s a lot to play on the Xbox Series X until then. In fact, the Series X may be the most backward compatible and most bang-for-your-buck console ever released — as long as you already have a $15 Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription (and you totally should, if you’re an Xbox fan). Boasting a library of hundreds of backward compatible titles from across all generations of Xbox consoles, you can bring all of your physical and digital games from the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One with you to the Series X. And with Xbox Game Pass, you also get a selection of over 100 games to download and play right out of the box. When compared to the PS5’s backward compatibility options, which only include PS4 titles and what’s available on PS Now, the Series X’s library of games is absolutely stacked.

I spent some time playing Star Wars: Republic Commando (an absolute banger for the original Xbox), Fable Anniversary for the Xbox 360, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection (which is also getting an Optimized for Series X upgrade later this month) and Mad Max on disc for Xbox One. The Series X emulates the original Xbox and Xbox 360 experiences perfectly, while Xbox One titles run natively on the console, which is a nice touch for those who simply want to pop in a current-gen disc and play without worrying about a middle man.

But even that quality of life feature pales in comparison to the way the Series X is able to upscale 720p and 1080p experiences from the past to next-gen 4K and up to 120fps, while also seriously improving the picture quality of those titles through the console’s Auto HDR technology. While I spent a limited time trying out these backward compatible titles on the console, I can definitely say that Republic Commando looks and plays better than it ever did on the first Xbox, while I noticed a distinct choppiness in the framerate in Fable Anniversary and Mad Max (again, running on a disc). Digital Foundry said in its own detailed breakdown of the Series X’s 4K upscaling and Auto HDR for past-gen titles that this isn’t a “one size fits all solution – but when it works, it really works.” I should also note that Republic Commando did crash on me once at the start of my playthrough, but hasn’t given me any issues since.

Now, you can of course make the argument that people buy next-gen consoles to play next-gen games, and I tend to agree with you on that, but the vast backward compatible library on the Xbox Series X still makes this machine a hell of a deal for people jumping into home consoles for the first time as well as new gamers. The size of the Series X’s games library may very well be the best selling point for parents buying next-gen consoles this holiday season. You simply get way more options on Series X. And that’s before you even factor in the console’s Smart Delivery system, which allows you to upgrade select Xbox One titles to the Optimized for Series X version for free.

Why PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X Will Drive the Future of Gaming Graphics (and Not PC)

Why the PlayStation 5 vs. Xbox Series X War Won’t Be Won With Console Sales

By Matthew Byrd

Microsoft has also made the incredibly consumer-friendly decision to allow Xbox fans to bring their Xbox One accessories over to the Series X. Both the Xbox Wireless Controller for the Xbox One and the Xbox Media Remote will work on the Series X, for example. As a player who doesn’t like the idea of spending $60 a pop on extra controllers, this is a huge deal. Setting up to play a few rounds of Mortal Kombat X on the Series X, it was very easy to sync my white Xbox Wireless Controller with the next-gen console and jump right into the fight. If you already have an Xbox One and are upgrading this holiday, rejoice in the fact that you already have more than one controller for the Series X.

The only Xbox One peripheral I wasn’t able to sync with the Series X was my SteelSeries Arctis 9X wireless headset, which is supposed to be compatible with the next-gen console at launch. It’s possible that third-party peripherals weren’t compatible with the Series X during the review period, or that this is a bug Microsoft will squash at launch with a firmware update, but just a note of warning if you’re trying to bring your fancy headset over to the next generation.

I’ve waited this long to elaborate on the Xbox Series X’s SSD-powered Velocity Architecture and Quick Resume feature for dramatic effect — because this is where the console truly reveals itself to be an absolute showstopper. Not only does the Series X virtually eliminate load times in past-gen games like Republic Commando — no longer must you wait while different sections of a level load in the middle of the action — but seriously cuts down load times in Optimized for Series X titles like Gears 5 and Sea of Thieves. Gears 5, for example, transitions between cutscenes and gameplay almost seamlessly, while jumping into the campaign in the first place takes only a matter of seconds. Comparing load times between the Xbox One version and Series X port resulted in the latter winning every time. An unsurprising result considering the XBO uses an HDD, but a comparison worth making if you want to see the real difference.

Then there’s the Quick Resume feature, which allows you to switch between several games at once without having to stop and restart applications. With Quick Resume, you can play a few hours of Gears 5, switch to the Halo: Reach campaign in Halo: MCC, play a few quarters in Madden 21, and then go back to Gears 5 and pick up exactly where you left off without having to go through the game’s initial startup again. Loading back into Quick Resume-enabled games takes only a matter of seconds — and this goes for back-compat titles like Republic Commando, Mad Max on disc, and Gears 5 through Remote Play on my Google Pixel 3a XL, too.

The only two games I tried that didn’t seem to work with Quick Resume were Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves, which had to load from scratch again after switching to other games, but that might come down to the console’s pre-launch state or the fact that both of these games require logging into online servers. Every other game I tried seemed to be compatible with Quick Resume, though. Besides one hiccup where, after Quick Resuming, I lost all sound in Madden 21, this quality of life improvement, along with the graphics upgrade, is enough reason for hardcore Xbox fans to make the jump to the next-gen console.

You can see Quick Resume in action in the video below:

Meanwhile, not much has changed with the Series X’s UI, which has made an almost seamless transition from the Xbox One version. Yes, menus on the dashboard load much faster and everything feels much snappier and flows more smoothly, with little buffer between the dashboard and loading into Settings menu for example, but you won’t find a major UI redesign here. As someone who thinks that the current Xbox UI outpaces the competition, I’d say that continuity between generations is a good thing.

I have a few nitpicks regarding the UI, such as the unintuitive way you access recent screenshots and gameplay clips captured through the console’s Share function, but I’d hardly call this a deal breaker. I will say this: for a company so invested in making PC-level resolution and framerates a reality on a home console, Microsoft missed one key aspect of the PC gaming experience — the ability to quickly adjust graphics on the go. At the moment, you have to exit out of games and visit the console’s Settings menu to change resolution and framerates. The exception out of the Optimized for Series X games I tried is Gears 5, which lets you switch between 60- and 120fps multiplayer in its in-game graphics menu. While it’s true that developers themselves decide just how adjustable a game’s graphics are in-game, it wouldn’t have hurt Microsoft to have implemented more robust graphics options in its first-party optimized titles at least.

The above might not be something console-only gamers are really all that concerned about, of course, which would explain why Microsoft hasn’t done much about it. But when you tout 4K and up to 120 fps gaming so often, you should at least create a faster way to access graphics options on the console without forcing gamers to exit out of the game. Maybe some quick toggles in the Guide menu would do the trick?

Like the UI, the Xbox Series X controller brings pretty much everything you loved about its Xbox One predecessor back for the next generation. Microsoft has perfected its gamepad to the point where it’s also become the preferred controller on PC, so there’s no point in fixing what isn’t broken. I went into way more detail about the actual feel of the controller in my unboxing, but the short of it is that the Xbox Series X gamepad is comfortable, responsive, and features some neat improvements.

The first addition is its new D-pad. Microsoft has done away with the traditional cross-shaped design and replaced it with a new facetted dish inspired by the Xbox Elite Controller. While the new, rounder D-pad felt a bit odd at first, I’ve quickly grown accustomed to it, and have even started to prefer it over the Xbox Wireless Controller’s cross, which now feels a bit stiff in comparison.

The other big new feature on the controller is the Share button, which I had an absolute blast using throughout the review period. With one click of the button, you can now easily capture screenshots of your gameplay, while holding down the button allows you to record 30 seconds of 4K gameplay (you can record longer clips at lower resolutions). From there, you can upload the captures to your activity feed, message them to an Xbox friend, post to Twitter, or even save them to your phone through the Xbox app.

All of the images used in this article were taken with the controller’s Share button, and the results look pretty impressive to this very amateur game photographer. As I mentioned above, for the best experience, I’d suggest handling these captures on your phone once they’re uploaded to the cloud, as it’s easier to zoom and switch between them on the Xbox app than in the console’s Guide menu.

There’s no doubt that the Xbox Series X is a powerful console, one worthy of the next-gen label, but what will ultimately decide the console’s success is its games. Unfortunately, and this is absolutely no secret, the console’s launch lineup is a bit of a letdown. Leaning heavily on third-party Optimized for Series X titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and first-party next-gen ports like Gears 5 — most of which aren’t exclusive to XSX — as well as its Xbox Game Pass and backwards compatible library, the Xbox Series X doesn’t really have an exclusive next-gen title in its launch lineup to entice gamers who are on the fence. Even timed next-gen console exclusive Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be available on XBO, PS4, and PC at launch.

It does seem at the moment like Microsoft’s console will limp out of the gate when it’s finally toe-to-toe with the PS5. Without something truly new and exciting you can only play on the Xbox Series X, I’m not sure I can recommend you buy this console on day one unless you’re looking for raw power in your next-gen gaming. So who is this console really for at the moment? Hardcore Xbox fans who want the best way to play upcoming Xbox titles as well as Game Pass and backward compatible games.

For everyone else, getting an Xbox Series X right now is really an investment in the console’s future. With so much GPU and SSD power at its disposal, the Xbox Series X should prove to be an excellent canvas on which developers will be able to create great pieces of art. And what’s coming up from within Microsoft — Halo Infinite, Avowed, all upcoming Bethesda titles — certainly has me excited about the types of experiences we’ll eventually be able to play on the console. What I’ve experienced so far in terms of graphics and load times tells me that the future of Xbox is very bright.

But at launch, Microsoft wants you to feel like this is still the Xbox experience you love with some major upgrades to performance. Is this a good strategy when it comes to hooking PlayStation and PC gamers across the aisle? That’s up for debate. But as a celebration of everything Xbox fans love about the brand, the Xbox Series X absolutely succeeds and shows a ton of promise to boot.

The Xbox Series X launches on Nov. 10. The Series S, which wasn’t provided by Microsoft in time for a review, will also release on Nov. 10 for $299.

Stay tuned for more of our ongoing coverage of the Xbox Series X here.

For the life of him, Jack can’t figure out how the situation went south so quickly.

Tucked underneath his arm, Maggie pushes a bit of corn nervously around her plate and says, “So, how do you all know Jack?”

It’s her fourth attempt at starting a conversation, and it goes about as well as all the others have. The boys remain silent, throwing each other side-along looks or ducking their heads towards the table; Racetrack goes as far as to let out a dismissive snort.

Thoroughly fed up, Jack aims a kick under the table at Albert, who’s closest. Albert grits his teeth but he still doesn’t answer. Jack kicks him again, even harder.

“We’s all Newsies,” Al says shortly. “So we live together and we work together.”

Maggie latches onto this barren statement like a life line.

“And what’s being a Newsie like?” she asks eagerly. “It must be exciting, getting to roam the city, meeting different people everyday—“

“It ain’t exactly fun and games,” Racetrack scornfully interrupts. “It’s workin’ in the sun all day and gettin’ spat at and havin’ta fight for weeks justa get treated decent by folks who should know bett’r.”

“Oh,” Maggie says. “Of course. The strike.” She takes a breath and determinedly continues, “Yeah, it was incredible! The work you all did—you inspired so many people! How did you manage to keep going? It must of been really difficult—“

“I thought ya said ya worked at The World?” Racetrack says, cutting Maggie off again. “You must not be payin’ enough attention—it was front page news.”

“Race,” Jack says in warning.

“I’m just sayin’, it was right there in black and white.”

“Racetrack, I swear to god—“

It’s Davey that saves the day. “So, Maggie,” he forcefully interjects, a smile plastered woodenly across his face. “Tell us a little more about yourself.”

Maggie blinks at the sudden friendliness after a half hour of painful silence and cutting remarks. Tentatively she answers, “I’m one of the type setters in the inking office. It’s a good position—they need girls with small fingers to adjust some of the fiddly bits on the different machines.”

Davey nods. “You must be good with your hands,” he offers. “Is that a knitting project, there in your bag?”

Maggie looks startled, then pleased at the change in topic. “Oh, yes! I’m working on a scarf for my Grandmother.”

“Ain’t it a little hot for a scarf?” Romeo comments loudly, to no one in particular.

“But I’m sure it’s never too early to get started,” Davey firmly redirects before things can turn sour. “You know, Buttons here is really into crafts and such.” Buttons glances up, clearly surprised at being thrown into the conversation. “I’m sure he’d love to hear more about it.”

Buttons mutters something under his breath, too quiet for Jack to make out. Then it looks like Davey pinches him just under the armpit.

“...What kinda needles are you using?” Buttons reluctantly asks.

Maggie answers, her enthusiasm starting to grow as the conversation continues more or less smoothly, and Buttons’ expression turns grudgingly interested.

Jack attempts to throw Davey a grateful smile but can’t quite catch his eye for some reason. He makes a mental note to do something nice for him, as a thanks for not being a complete ass like everyone else.

Speaking of everyone else, Jack uses the moment of calm to look around at the others.

It’s a sea of dissatisfaction: Albert’s wearing a sullen frown, Racetrack’s got his arms crossed over his chest, Specs is doing that thing where he keeps cleaning and re-cleaning his glasses, Crutchie keeps glancing at him like he’s lost his damn mind— what the hell is wrong with everyone? Even Katherine seems to be in a bad mood, though she’s doing a slightly better job at hiding it, lips pursed and fingers drumming against the table’s edge.

Jack’s still trying to figure it all out when the sound of his name catches his attention.

“—I’ll have to see about making something for Jackie too,” Maggie is saying, and she tugs playfully at Jack’s collar. “Maybe some fingerless gloves, so he can wear them while he draws.”

“Aw, you don’t gotta go outta your way for me, Mags,” Jack says.

“It’s not going out of my way,” Maggie says. “I want to do something nice for my boyfriend.”

She leans up and kisses him, a sweet little peck on the lips.

There’s a clatter and the screech of silverware scraping against ceramic. Jack pulls away just in time to watch Davey jump to his feet—it looks like he’s upended his plate all down his front.

“Excuse me,” Davey mumbles to the floor. “I just, I gotta—“ He makes a beeline towards the bathrooms.

Jack leans forward in his chair, his weight shifting to the balls of his feet. Racetrack shoots him a truly venomous look and Jack falls back into his seat before he’d really even begun to stand.

“I’ll go help him,” Racetrack declares, then darts up to follow Davey.

“Is everything alright?” Maggie asks uncertainly.

“I’m sure Racetrack’s got it handled,” Jack says, though he’s not too sure himself.

Without Davey to facilitate, the conversation stutters and stalls. Maggie hesitantly asks Katherine about her latest article; Katherine has the decency to answer her, though her expression is still incredibly pinched around the edges.

Jack lingers for a few minutes, knee bouncing the entire time. He says, “I’m gonna see about gettin’ another glass of water,” then stands up before anyone can stop him. He heads towards the front counter, glances behind him to see if anyone’s watching, then sneaks over to the bathroom.

He lifts a hand to knock, opens his mouth to say, “Are you doin’ alright in there?” but the sound of Racetrack’s voice makes him pause.

“—it’s gotta be hard on ya.”

“Of course it’s fucking hard,” Davey replies, and Jack’s shocked at the bitterness in his tone. “But you all aren’t making it any easier.”

Racetrack again, low and soothing. “We just wantcha to know we’s got your back.”

Davey laughs. It’s not a happy sound. “That wasn’t having my back, Race, that was making me do all the work when I’m the one who shouldn’t have to!”

Silence. Jack cranes his head even closer, ears straining to hear.

“Davey,” Racetrack starts, and there’s a world of apology in his voice. “Davey you gotta know, if I’da known, if any of us had any clue, we never woulda—“

“I know, Race.” Davey says quietly. “I know, it’s not your fault. It’s not anyone’s fault. We were just... wrong, I guess.” There’s a sound like a sob, then Davey’s voice comes again, quivering and wet. “I just feel like such an idiot—“

“Oh, Davey.”

Jack’s pulse is pounding in his ears. He wants nothing more than to throw the bathroom door open and demand to know what’s wrong, demand to know who he needs to destroy on Davey’s behalf. His hand curls around the door handle, ready to kick the damn thing in if he has to—

But something causes him to hesitate.

His heart hurts as he listens to Davey sobbing on the other side of the door, torn between the instinctual need to comfort him and the growing guilt over eavesdropping on a private conversation. Davey won’t want to make a scene, and as much as Jack wants to, barging in will make a huge fucking scene.

His mind races: Did something happen while he was out? Is that why everyone’s so on edge? Did Jack do something to hurt Davey, and that’s why they’re all pissed at him?

Jack dismisses that last one. He can’t have done something—he hasn’t even seen Davey since last night. 

He lingers for one more second, then forces himself to go back to the table. He has to get through the rest of this disastrous lunch, then he can figure out what’s going on.

Racetrack returns just a bit after Jack does, Davey conspicuously absent. He leans down to mutter something in Finch’s ear as he passes him—Finch does a double-take, his expression incredulous. Racetrack shakes his head, insistent.

Jack tries to pretend like he’s not watching Race like a hawk, searching his face for any sign that he needs to take some kind of action. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices a telephone chain of whispers and murmurs moving along the rest of the Newsies; Racetrack must’a told them to pass a message down the line. 

It’s gotta be something to do with Davey—the reason he’s so upset or the reason he hasn’t come out yet. It must be.

“Hey, how’s Davey doin’?” Jack asks, as casually as he can.

“What are you, the pissin’ police?” Race mutters as he sits down, still looking mutinous. “He’ll be back when he’s back.”

“I’m just askin’,” Jack says carefully.

“And I’m just answering,” Racetrack shoots back. He meets Jack’s gaze and lifts an eyebrow—almost like he’s daring Jack to keep pursuing the question.

Jack can feel himself starting to lose control of his temper. He tries to remind himself that Race is just worried about Davey, that everyone’s defenses are up because Maggie, as nice as she is, is a stranger to them and not someone they feel comfortable dropping their guard around—especially when one of their own is hurting.

Don’t make it any less irritating though.

Eventually things start winding down. Plates are cleaned and glasses are emptied. Maggie gathers her things and stands, gracing the table with a nervous smile—she gets a series of nods and smiles in return, some more genuine than others, but everyone making an attempt.

Jack blows out a breath. Maybe there’s hope yet.

“Hey, Maggie... I’m real sorry about all this,” Jack says as he walks with Maggie towards the entrance, scrubbing a hand down the back of his neck. “I dunno what’s gotten into them—they ain’t usually like this, I swear. I think somethin’ must’a happened at the distribution center this morning and it’s got ‘em all twisted up in knots.”

Maggie shakes her head, her dark curls swinging around her shoulders. “It’s okay, Jack. Everyone has bad days, we just got unlucky that today was one. But I’m sure I’ll have more chances to get to know them better—some other time when tensions aren’t so high.”

“You’re a gem,” Jack says, relieved at her understanding.

“I try,” Maggie agrees. “Will you walk me back?”

Jack hesitates. He knows he should say yes—it’s the gentlemanly thing to do, especially after the shit show that just went down—but he really wants to check in with the others and really needs to check on Davey.

Katherine comes to his rescue.

“Oh, are you heading back to the World?” she asks Maggie. “I’ll walk with you, I need to speak with my father about an event.”

She loops an arm through one of Maggie’s and pulls her along and out the door before Maggie can even begin to protest. 

Jack can barely make himself wait for the door to swing closed behind them before he’s jogging back to the table,

“Okay,” he announces, gazing sweeping over each one of his Newsies. “What the fuck is up with all’a youse?”

There are a few grunts and grumbles, but no one answers.

“Well?” Jack demands. “A whole hour of some’a the meanest remarks I’ve ever heard directed at anyone other than a DeLancey and now you all done lost ya damn tongues?”

“You can save the lecture,” Albert mutters, kicking at one of the table legs. “Davey already told us we was bein’ shitheads.”

“Yeah, I’ll fuckin’ say,” Jack says with a humorless snort. He glares at them for a few seconds longer, then his shoulders soften. “That’s what’s got ya all on edge, right? Somethin’s up with Davey?”

“Oh, sure, now he notices,” someone gripes, though Jack can’t tell who.

“Alright, someone spill,” Jack says. “What happened to Davey?”

More shared glances and sullen silence.

“You’re gonna have to ask him yourself, Jack,” Crutchie finally says. “It’s not our place to tell ya.”

“Fine then,” Jack says. “Where is he? Still in the bathroom?”

“He left,” Racetrack says. “He wasn’t feelin’ good so he went home.”

“What’d ya mean he went home?” Jack asks. “I didn’t see him leave—what’d he do, climb out the bathroom window?”

He doesn’t actually mean it, but Racetrack’s expression flickers and Jack realizes that his guess must be closer to the truth than he thought.

Jack rubs at his face with a sigh. “Okay, I’ll go by his place and check on him. But seriously, you all need to chill out, yeah? Just ‘cause youse upset don’t mean you should take it out the next person ya see—Maggie ain’t done nothin’ to deserve how ya treated her.”

That gets a few strong reactions. Romeo’s nose scrunches up, Finch lets out an incredibly loud huff, and Albert’s expression goes sour, but none of them argue out loud.

“You’re right, Jack,” Racetrack agrees, giving the others a significant look. There’s something strange about his tone. “Next time, we’ll be sure to put the blame where it’s due.”

“...Good,” Jack says, suddenly uneasy, though he can’t quite pinpoint why. “Make sure ya do.”

Proform 705 cst treadmill

ProForm’s 705 CST is a feature-rich treadmill at an affordable price. The 705 CST has a roomy deck, good shock absorption tread, and a quiet motor. It can also reach a top speed of 12 mph and 1a 2% incline for a lot of training variety.

You can begin sweating with its 22 onboard programs or tread forth with its iFit-enabled capability to give you plenty of interactive workouts. Once you’re done, you can easily fold the 705 CST to save some training space.

If you’re looking for a quality treadmill on a budget, the 705 CST could be a great fit. But before you make that decision, make sure you read this review.

In this article, we’ll take a detailed look at everything this treadmill has to offer. After reading, you’ll know everything you need to to decide whether or not this is the right treadmill for your home gym.

Let’s get started.

The ProForm 705 CST Treadmill

ProForm is owned by the ICON Health & Fitness company. ICON is a behemoth in the fitness world. It’s a Utah-based gym machine manufacturer and owns many other commercial brands you may be familiar with, like NordicTrack and Freemotion.

ICON is also the parent company of iFit. So there goes the answer to why all fitness brands owned by ICON have iFit-ready machines.

ProForm specializes in budget-friendly home fitness equipment. Depending on your budget, they have many great options for cardio, HIIT, and elliptical trainers, but their treadmills are a huge hit.

ProForm is one of the fantastic fitness brands, and they’re known for having feature-rich equipment with long warranties. If you want to enjoy a lifetime guarantee for your machine, you’ll love ProForm’s higher-end selections like the Power 1295i treadmill.

I’m especially fond of this high-performing machine and it’s a great bang for your buck.

Their 705 CST has one of the longest warranties in this price range, but we’ll discuss that later as we move forward with this review.

Pros

20″ x 60″ running surface

2. 75 CHP motor

Cushioning system

325 lb weight capacity

Folding deck

Max speed of 12 mph

Max incline of 12%

iFit-enabled

2” dual speakers

5” backlit display

Grip pulse heart sensors

Tablet holder

Cooling air

Decent warranty

Cons

No telemetry heart rate monitoring

Not strong enough for serious running

Running Surface

Let’s begin by looking at the running surface. What I’m more interested in is the dimension of the running surface as it can tell a lot about the treadmill.

In case you’re new to treadmill research, the running surface is the area you’ll be walking and running at during your workouts.

It’s also known as the deck or belt size. Its dimensions are measured in inches and are usually written in “width x length”. (You can also check this guide for a more comprehensive tip.)

A bigger running surface is better as you can have plenty of room for your training. Too small of a belt size and it can make you feel confined or claustrophobic.

The length is important to make sure there’s enough room to stretch out comfortably, especially if your routine involves running at higher speeds. This is also very important for tall users.

Width size indicates the elbow room. It’s equally important with the belt length as it ensures you can comfortably wiggle from side to side.

A good running surface measurement is 20″ x 60″. It gives most people enough range of motion to feel comfortable, meaning you won’t feel like you’re walking or running on a tight rope.

Many models in this price range offer this much room, and the 705 CST easily checks this mark.

ProForm’s 705 CST treadmill has a running surface of 20″ x 60″. Its spacious track makes it ideal for both running and walking exercises. It can accommodate a lot of heights and gaits, allowing you to sway a little safely during your training.

The 60″ length is fantastic for 6-footers. You can stretch out completely with the 705 CST and sprint comfortably without shortening your stride.

Besides its spacious deck, the 705 CST is designed with the company’s ProShox™ Cushioning system. This works by absorbing the impact and reducing stress on your joints.

Thereby, as you walk, jog, or run with the 705 CST, you’ll have a softer landing with every step. This makes it ideal for those with arthritis or joint concerns. You’ll be able to enjoy a longer workout and faster recovery time.

Many 705 CST owners report how this machine is a game-changer for their joints. Running at home is smoother and safer for their feet, ankles, knees, and hips, compared to running on pavements.

The 705 CST comes with a heavy-duty frame. It’s strong enough to hold users weighing up to 325 lb.

Most treadmills at this price point offer a 300 lb frame capacity, so it’s nice to see that the 705 CST goes beyond the average. At 325 lb, it can safely accommodate many users wanting to stay fit at home.

Its frame also folds for easy storage. You can save some training space right after using the machine. With its SpaceSaver design, folding the unit is very easy. You won’t have to worry about lifting the heavy deck on your own.

So far, I’m enjoying the specs of the 705 CST. It has met my standards in terms of a comfortable deck, great cushioning system, a durable frame, and a space-saving feature.

Motor

Now we’ll move on to another key factor when choosing treadmills- the motor. When in doubt, remember the golden rule for motor strength: the stronger, the better.

A higher continuous horsepower (CHP) tells you that the motor is strong enough to handle any of your intense workouts. It can keep up with your training without having to work twice as hard.

Treadmills with stronger motors operate quieter too, but I think it’s a bit theoretical. There are stronger motors that release noticeable sounds during training, and some weaker ones are surprisingly quiet.

Quiet or not, it’s best to always go for motors with a higher CHP for more efficient exercises at home.

If your routine involves running and sprinting, it’s a good idea to look for at least 3.0 CHP. For low-impact exercises like walking, you can get along fine with less horsepower.

The 705 CST has a 2.75 CHP motor that can reach a max speed of 12 mph and a max incline of 12%. This power is very ideal for casual walkers and low-impact cardio training.

The 705 CST should be able to handle runners as well, but serious sprinters might consider models with more muscle under the hood. Again, go for those units with 3.0 CHP and higher.

Its 0-12% incline capability is impressive for this price range. You can condition your body for any hill or valley.

Combing both speed and incline settings give you a variety of training options. If you want to burn more calories from a simple workout, consider walking at an incline.

Using the iFit with the 705 CST lets you enjoy training with Google Maps. You can train at any 7 continents and the machine will automatically match the incline with your chosen terrain.

I’ve got to be honest, it’s one of the most impressive interactive workouts on the market. You can visit and workout in any part of the globe without leaving home. It’s the perfect training tool nowadays that we’re spending a lot of time indoors.

The rollers are the parts that make contact with the belt, causing it to propel down the deck. Large rollers measuring 2″ and above are preferred, and they are often found in more powerful and sophisticated treadmills.

The 705 CST comes with 1.9″ precision-machined, balanced, non-flex rollers. These are a little on the small side, but fairly common for budget models.

Overall, when it comes to the motor, the 705 CST is packing enough power to comfortably handle walking and jogging without skipping a beat. Serious runners may want to consider a stronger machine.

Features

The ProForm 705 CT comes with the following features:

22 workout programs: It has 22 built-in workouts, which is generous at this price point. They’re created by expert personal trainers and should offer you a variety of exercises to target any of your fitness goals.

If these are not enough to spark your motivation, you can spice up your routine with the iFit app.

iFit-compatibility: Like all other ProForm machines, the 705 CST is iFit-enabled. You can sync your iFit with the machine and enjoy the unlimited access to all sorts of exercises. You can check your progress data, have virtual exercises with training coaches, run with Google Maps, and even challenge another iFit user if you like a little competition.

The catch is that iFit isn’t for free. You need to pay a monthly fee to enjoy this treasure trove of interactive training.

5” backlit display: You can easily and comfortably see your progress metrics with its crisp LCD. You can watch your mileage, speed, calorie burn, heart rate, and time add up. And if you’ve synced your iFit with the 705 CST, you can conveniently watch your virtual training classes and terrains from Google Maps.

EKG grip pulse: Monitoring your heart condition is very important for a healthy and safe workout. The 705 CST has contact pulse sensors located on its handlebars.

Grip pulse monitoring is good, but it has some disadvantages too. One of which is that you need to hold the handles firmly before a reading is achieved, and it might not be even accurate. Sometimes it can be inconvenient grabbing onto the handles when you’re sprinting.

These problems are easily solved with a chest strap heart rate monitor (telemetry). However, the 705 CST isn’t compatible with chest straps.

2″ dual speakers: The 705 CST has an audio auxiliary port that allows you to listen to your workout playlist at a higher volume. You’ll be able to hear your music or videos with less complication.

Tablet holder: The built-in tablet holder makes it easy to multi-task with the 705 CST without blocking the view of your console. Now, you can easily watch videos or check your social media.

Cooling fan: The 705 CST can keep you cool while working out with its two-speed fan settings.

Assembly

The 705 CST takes a simple assembly process before you can begin your in-home training.

I think ProForm does an amazing job with their assembly instructions. They’ve incorporated well-written instructions and images to describe clearly what needs to be done.

You might need a screwdriver to piece some parts together, and another pair of hands to assist you. Remember, treadmills are large, heavy pieces of equipment and safety comes first!

Overall, most people should do fine setting up the 705 CST without professional assistance. Most folks were able to get theirs done in an hour even without a technical background.

prompt: the only remedy for a broken heart is a road trip with a complete stranger words: 1705 category: fluff a/n: do you guys like this setting better? i think it’s less cluttered so i might keep it. also this is in present tense and it’s a bit different from anything i’ve done before so tell me if you like it.

It has been months since the wedding. Kihyun still finds it hard to get up every day. It still breaks him whenever he checks her social media and sees that she’s happier without him. Kihyun can’t even seem to try for happiness: it seems too far out of his reach. Instead, he does what he has to do to survive, and then he reminisces about the past.

Everyone told them that they were too young. They were still in college, still working part-time to pay off student loans. A marriage was the last thing they should’ve been thinking of, and yet they thought it. Because despite everything, Kihyun loved Yebin. He loved her so much that he was willing to sacrifice everything to be with her. She did not have the same mentality, apparently, and left minutes before the ceremony. All she left was a text for her would-be groom, saying she wasn’t ready, and she wasn’t sure she ever would be. It was a breakup text, Kihyun’s friends had informed him. He didn’t believe them until he saw her Snapchat, full of pictures from a date. She looked happy and free, far far away from the girl who claimed she wanted the responsibility of a marriage. Far far away from the girl who said she loved Kihyun and would follow him to the ends of the earth.

Kihyun’s friends want him to get out. They want him to stop feeding his depression and find anything to do besides go to classes and sleep. Some days he can’t even find it in himself to eat. He’s skinnier now, and his hollow cheeks speak volumes louder than the bags beneath his eyes. He is a sight for sore eyes, and his friends are worried.

They send him an ad off of the university website. It’s from a student, and it reads the following: Wanted: a friend to go on a road trip with. Requirements: a banging playlist and some clothes.

They tell Kihyun to reply, because what has he got to lose? In the long run, it would distract him from his problems, but it would also force him to get out of the house. Even Kihyun knows he needs to get out of the house. He needs to get better. So he sends a reply, saying he’ll be there with a backpack of clothes and his spotify premium.

Anything to get her off of his mind. He needs to take back his life. He needs to start fresh.

-

When he sees you hop out of a sleek SUV, he’s surprised that he isn’t more shocked. He’s seen you around campus, and he knows your name. Most people know you, Y/n, a business major and daughter of a millionaire CEO. Most people know you as a rich kid. Kihyun has never bothered with rich kids before, so he isn’t sure how you are going to react to him in his oversized black t-shirt, holey jeans, and specs that threaten to slide off of his nose any moment now.

You laugh, and Kihyun finds it refreshing, because it’s been so long since he’s heard anyone laugh. Your laugh is so different from Yebin’s that it almost makes him giddy with joy. You hold yourself differently too, and Kihyun can see it in the way you square your shoulders and set your jaw. You treat your greeting like a business transaction, and Kihyun finds respect for the way you shake his hand.

You aren’t snobby, or snooty, or a goody-two-shoes. In fact, you’re the opposite. Kihyun finds out quickly that you’re loud. You sing in shouts, you talk over the air conditioner, and you laugh hard enough that Kihyun hears you snort once or twice. It’s cute to him, because he hasn’t seen someone be so unapologetically themself in so long that he had almost forgotten what it felt like.

He isn’t sure when the time had passed, or what had gone on, but it is suddenly sunset, and you park at a rest area for the night. You show him the mattress in the back of your car, which he hadn’t noticed before. It takes the place of where the backseats should be, and is covered in blankets and pillows. Kihyun even thinks he can see a little plushie peaking out between the covers.

You tell him that the two of you aren’t sleeping quite yet, because you want to get out and stretch your limbs. You also want an ice pop, you decide on a whim, so the two of you head over to the vending machines. On the walk over, Kihyun notices that you are shorter than him, but still regal in the way you carry yourself. He still thinks he would obey anything you said if spoken with the right authority.

You get a strawberry pop and Kihyun gets a cherry one. Soon both of your tongues are dyed red as you talk well into the night on top of your car. The stars are your audience, and their twinkling is almost like applause to Kihyun. He’s doing it, he thinks. He’s finally healing.

You ask him why he agreed to come on a road trip with a stranger, saying that he must be desperate to get away from something.

He corrects you and says rather than something, it’s someone, and proceeds to tell you his story. He tells you that he was left at the altar, and that he is trying to forget his would’ve-been bride.

In return, you tell him that you lost all of your friends. You explain that they had all used you for money, and when you stopped spending it so freely, they dropped you for the second richest person in school. You tell Kihyun that it hurts your heart, and you just need to get away from it all. You need to be spontaneous and free. You need to feel something real.

Kihyun knows exactly how you feel, but he doesn’t know if he can put it into words the way you can. So he settles for a simple nod in agreement. Then the two of you go to sleep.

-

Kihyun likes road trips with you, and he can’t quite pinpoint why. He wonders what’s so special about showering at a truck stop or eating convenience store ramen for dinner every night. He wonders if it’s just the fact that he’s with you, and your eyes that shine like the brightest diamonds in the sky.

He likes to stare at you when you drive; when your hair is pushed back by an old baseball cap and your fingers are drumming the steering wheel. He likes to watch your lips move in sync to the song. He likes to think you’re singing to him.

Each day he gets closer to you, and each day a familiar feeling grows stronger in his chest. It’s something he can’t explain, but it’s the feeling he used to get with Yebin. It’s a feeling he hasn’t had in awhile. It’s calming and a rush all at the same time. It’s refreshing and bright and new in all these ways. Kihyun isn’t sure why he feels so strongly for you, or why he’s so afraid to just come out and say it. He just knows that he doesn’t want you to forget him when this is all over. He doesn’t want to be left alone again.

You like to be held at night, and Kihyun’s heart stops beating every time you wrap your arms around his waist. He likes this feeling. He likes feeling like the one who can make you feel safe and secure, even in a dodgy rest area. He likes the hum that escapes your lips when he kisses the top of your head or rubs circles into your hips.

Kihyun wants to say it. He needs to tell you how much you mean to him but he is so afraid of being rejected again. So he holds it in.

Another night, he tells himself. That’s when he’ll tell you that he loves you.

-

It’s the rest stop before you both return home. Back to university and back to reality. The two of you find popsicles again, and you eat them inside the car with the sunroof open and Kihyun’s playlist on high volume. Your hands are up, and Kihyun finds himself mesmerized at the way you serenade the stars. He wants this moment caught forever. He wants your carefree innocence and your excited smile. He wants you with every fiber of his being because you brought him to life again. You showed him how to live again and that’s all Kihyun ever wanted. It’s what he needed.

The popsicles are long forgotten, but Kihyun can still taste the strawberries on your tongue. He can feel the warmth of your skin beneath his touch, and he can hear your voice. Low whispers and moans play a song only for him to hear. He isn’t sure what makes him happier: the fact that you return his feelings, or that fact that he finally manages to do something right for once. He sighs into your lips and pulls you closer against him.

-

Kihyun returns home a new man. Scratch that. He isn’t a new man at all. He has simply found what he had lost along the way. He found happiness in a place he had never thought to look: at a rest area just off the interstate. He holds your soft hand in his, and smile stretched over his lips as he introduces you to his friends.

They don’t care about money, he recalls to you. He assures you they only care about video games and puppies.

You blend in well with them, your loud laughter bouncing off the walls as Minhyuk tells a stupid joke. You lean into Kihyun’s side for support, and he finds himself laughing too. Not because the joke is funny, but because he has finally found happiness. He has finally found what he was looking for ever since she left him. He thinks of what he was just months ago, and what he is now.

Kihyun is happier with you.

Riot on developing the next big competitive FPS • Eurogamer.net

Riot Games’ five-on-five tactical shooter Valorant recently launched on PC, where it seems set for inevitable success after a recording daily player counts of three million during its much-hyped closed beta period. Now that the game’s out in the wild, I took the opportunity to speak to several members of the Valorant development team at Riot Games, including the title’s game director Joe Ziegler and tech director Dave Herionymous.

The interview below touches on a wide range of tech topics, including the game’s custom forward renderer, the challenge of meeting their 128-tick processing target and which hardware plays the game best. Some game design questions snuck in too, including those passed on by Redditors in this thread – like tweaking the strength of the game’s tagging mechanic, designing new characters and implementing fan-requested features like left-handed view models and retake servers.

In total, eight (!) members of the Valorant dev team took time to answer questions, so let’s break down the full squad participating today. In alphabetical order, they are:

Paul Chamberlain, anti-cheat lead

Dave Heironymous, tech director

Brent Randall, staff engineer

Marcus Reid, principal engineer

Felipe Romero, principal engineer

David Straily, game tech lead

Chase Swanson, senior QA manager

Joe Ziegler, game director

There’s plenty of fascinating stuff here, so enjoy!

What are the major differences between how Valorant is architected compared to other Unreal Engine games? Did you need to take any novel approaches to attain your high performance targets?

Marcus Reid: Wherever possible we try to follow Unreal Engine best practices and minimise deviation from the stock engine as every customisation incurs an ongoing maintenance cost. With that framing, we have made substantial modifications to parts of the engine to hit our performance goals.

For example, we built a custom forward renderer (originally based on Unreal’s mobile rendering path) with our own render passes and highly optimised shaders that only support the minimal set of features required by Valorant’s art style. It’s much faster than what we were able to achieve with the more fully featured renderer shipped with the stock engine.

The recent Unreal Engine 5 demo was an exciting one for fans of PC tech. What did the Valorant development team think about the reveal, and is there anything of note in the demo that could make sense for Valorant?

Marcus Reid: We loved the UE5 demo and will carefully evaluate what makes sense for our game as more details become available. We regularly update to the latest version of Unreal for new engine and workflow improvements, but we also ensure that any new capability we use doesn’t degrade competitive integrity on older hardware that we still support.

Ensuring the game runs well on a wide range of PC hardware seems to have been a big focus, so what’s the lowest-end hardware that is able to hit a relatively stable 60fps? What performance targets did you have during development?

Brent Randall: It was always a goal to allow as many players to enjoy Valorant as possible. We recommend an Intel Core i3-4150 CPU paired with a NVIDIA GT 630 GPU and 8GB of dual-channel RAM for 60fps. Honestly, you might be able to get by on less if you’re willing to tweak your setup. During development we had targeted the Intel HD 3000 at 30fps as our minimum spec GPU but UE4 deprecated Shader Model 4.0 support, forcing our hand to drop support [also]. That brought us to the Intel HD 4000 which we support today; targeting the 3000 helped us out because now the 4000 can get upwards of 40fps and we’re comfortably within performance budgets.

Our devs ran a bunch of lab tests with high-skill players using a 1000fps camera to measure reaction times and peeker’s advantage.

Despite sustained interest from the CSGO community, Valve has so far declined to upgrade its matchmaking servers from 64 to 128 ticks, citing the performance impact this would have on lower-end PCs. When did the Valorant team decide on 128-tick as standard, and were there any issues with this tick-rate on low-end PCs you had to overcome?

David Straily: We decided on 128-tick servers early on in development. Our devs ran a bunch of lab tests with high-skill players using a 1000fps camera. We measured reaction times and peeker’s advantage, and looked for the best implementation cost/player value compromise.

While you can never get rid of the peeker’s advantage (the “defender’s advantage” pipedream!), you can mitigate it. The most sensitive situations are with high lethality guns (like the Operator, which in most situations, is one-shot-one-kill). With time to kill being so low, every millisecond counts. 128-tick really was the sweet spot for us.

As to the impact on low-end PCs – it is correct that if your PC’s frame-rate is <128, the benefit of 128-tick servers is reduced. However, performance impact can be mitigated (eg through move combining, & downsampling the send to clients with low frame-rate). A significant amount of our players have client frame-rates above 128, and we want to provide our premiere experience to as many players as possible.

We recently reported about Valorant being prototyped on console. With 120Hz televisions becoming more standard and next-gen consoles more likely to support higher frame-rates thanks to HDMI 2.1 and much faster CPUs, some traditional barriers that have kept PC shooters away from consoles are being eroded. What remaining challenges exist?

“Getting Valorant running at [4K] 120Hz on next-gen consoles is an achievable goal.”

Felipe Romero: The big challenge of taking Valorant to console is being able to replicate the core game experience using a gamepad controller. Valorant is a game that requires precise aiming, responsive movement, recoil control and being able to execute abilities in a limited amount of time. Is it possible to effectively execute a clutch play in Valorant using a controller? How much aiming and movement assistance can we provide without sacrificing the overall competitive environment? Valorant was designed to be played and experienced in a particular way. We want to make sure playing with a controller remains true to that core vision.

In terms of performance, we believe getting Valorant running at 120Hz on next-gen consoles is an achievable goal. This is mostly thanks to the aggressive performance targets that Valorant initially set. During development, we put emphasis hitting high frame-rates at commonly used resolutions. Being able to push a 4K resolution at 120Hz comes with its own set of challenges. Even with an optimised renderer and low instruction count pixel shaders, rendering a large amount of pixels takes a significant amount of time. Technologies like variable rate shading could help us reach these targets and we will be evaluating them for higher end hardware and next-gen consoles in the near future.

High refresh rate monitors are a natural fit for Valorant – I’ve been playing on a 240Hz model and it feels super crisp. Are there any gameplay or technical elements that require special attention when you know many players will be playing at 120Hz or higher?

Marcus Reid: 240Hz is wonderful. Pushing performance high enough to hit high frame-rates is the largest challenge. We’ve been playing on 120Hz and higher monitors for much of Valorant’s development, and the game is now fast enough that many machines can hit 120/144fps. Only very powerful machines are currently capable of hitting a solid 240fps in all gameplay scenarios. We’re still making improvements to high-end performance that will increase the range of computers that can fully utilise these screens.

As 360Hz or 480Hz monitors become available over the next few years, will the game require any changes to take full advantage of these higher refresh rates?

Marcus Reid: To hit 360fps we need to process each frame in 2.78ms. To hit 480fps the target shrinks to just 2.08ms. That’s not much time to update the game simulation and draw the scene, even on very powerful hardware. We have more than 2ms of CPU work to do every frame, so we’ll need to increase parallelisation across available CPU cores in order to hit these numbers. We’ll also have to make sure our rendering remains blazing fast.

It’s likely we will support Vulkan or DX12 in the future.

Any plans for a version of the game client that supports Vulkan or DX12 in the future? What reasons made DX11 the best choice?

Marcus Reid: It’s likely we will support Vulkan or DX12 in the future. Early in the development cycle we targeted hardware that couldn’t run DX12 and engine support was less mature than it is today. We’ve done some initial evaluation of DX12 but need to do additional work to ship it as a supported mode. Valorant’s performance bottleneck on high end machines tends to be the game simulation rather than rendering, and we haven’t gotten big performance wins from DX12 in our early tests. If this changes as we continue to improve performance, DX12 becomes more attractive.

How much tech were you able to borrow from other Riot titles?

Dave Heironymus: In terms of core game engine tech, we didn’t borrow anything directly. A number of our engineers worked on League of Legends, and so that experience influenced some tech on Valorant. Ultimately the early decision to use Unreal, along with Valorant being a completely different genre from League, meant that the core game tech differs significantly from other Riot titles.

We do make extensive use of shared infrastructure and account tech owned by central teams. A lot of that tech evolved from League’s early years and it’s one of the key ways we benefit from the scale of Riot.

Were there any abilities that were especially troublesome to implement during development? Were any planned abilities scrapped due to technical limitations?

For every ability you see in the game, there were dozens before it that we tried and ultimately scrapped.

David Straily: Valorant by its nature is a very analogue/sandbox style of game. With there being great technical flexibility, there also needs to be a really mature development process around creating and harnessing abilities in a very sharp way.

I remember when we added Powered Ascenders (ropes) to the game – so many of our abilities broke because we hadn’t set proper constraints around the new game mechanic.

I imagine a future where we have many characters, all uniquely fantastical. To not make ourselves go insane, we’ll need to keep the bar high for how we implement game-systems – and make sure that we never get to a point where there is so much tech-debt, it’s impossible to expand the surface area of our sandbox.

(For every ability you see in the game, there were dozens before it that we tried and ultimately scrapped. I’m excited to bring some of the more zany abilities back in the future, but we first want to ship a well-defined founding cast of characters.)

At Digital Foundry, we’re always looking to add new games to our benchmark suite, but this requires consistent, repeatable scenes. Are there any plans to add in-client demo recording/playback or a built-in benchmark? What’s the best way to ensure any tests we run in Valorant are representative of real gameplay?

Marcus Reid: We don’t currently have a benchmark mode or replay support. These are features that we’re interested in, but we don’t currently have a firm plan or timeline for their delivery.

Games that run at high frame-rates tend to suffer from CPU bottlenecks, especially at low resolutions like 1080p. Presumably this is also true of Valorant? If so, what CPU characteristics provide the best performance – high core/thread count? High clock speeds/IPC? If a Valorant fan wanted the best experience in-game, what CPU would you recommend for 1080p at the highest possible frame-rates?

Marcus Reid: Yes; Valorant has low rendering requirements and is CPU-bottlenecked on machines with modern GPUs. Valorant makes heavy use of three to four cores and moderate use of remaining available cores. Over time we’re working to better utilise additional cores on machines with higher core counts. Currently, higher clock speeds/IPC will yield the largest direct performance benefits. Additionally, use of high-speed RAM can make sure you keep the CPU fed with enough data to avoid losing any CPU cycles.

One of the most common criticisms of Valorant I’ve heard, particularly from a non-CSGO audience, is that the game looks bland – in a Eurogamer live stream, some viewers compared it to a mobile game. There are competitive reasons to ensure player characters are always visually distinct from their environment, but it does seem to turn some people off from the game. How did you balance these two concerns during development, and do you think that you’ve come close to maximising the game’s visual appeal without sacrificing competitive play?

David Straily, Game Tech Lead on Valorant: We are an unapologetically competitive game – and in order to maintain that focus, we have to make compromises on in-game visual fidelity.

We as Rioters often talk about our “black liquorice” culture. We target a certain type of game experience, for a certain type of player – we never intend to be a jack-of-all-trades experience; we know the game doesn’t appeal to everyone, and that’s OK. We deliver where it counts.

That being said, if we can hit our readability and performance targets – yet still level up the visual fidelity, we will do so. You’ve seen some of this on the transition from closed beta to worldwide launch (3D character select, spawn barrier VFX, orb VFX, etc). Expect continual improvements over time, we are a live service and always want to make the experience better.

Will players be able to restrict their matchmaking games to certain servers or set a maximum ping? Could matchmaking take player language into account, eg preferring to create teams who speak a common language? Players in the European and OCE regions seem particularly interested in these issues.

Joe Ziegler: We’re definitely looking into options that provide players, especially in custom games to specify what server would be best suited to handle their game, especially for teams where players are coming from mixed locations. In regards to general matchmaking, we are always investigating options that would allow players to control more options around their matchmaking, while still maintaining the quality of the matchmaking quality and speed to match of games. Every option we add has the potential to increase queue times for all players and make matches even more volatile, so we will be judicious with things that we do add, to ensure we still have a smooth matchmaking process.

One of the famous game design “wins” from Team Fortress 2 was the fact that each character had a unique silhouette, making them easy to identify at a glance. As Valorant’s roster grows, how do you keep different heroes visually (and otherwise) distinct?

Joe Ziegler: A lot of the work that we do in driving characters’ visuals is in creating distinct shapes, colour palettes, and colour zones that allow for better identification of characters from a glance. Additionally when planning their abilities we also utilise unique sounds and VO cues to ensure that when a character is doing a high impact ability, let’s say from behind a wall, you’ll be able to identify that character before you may even see them in your view. With these methods and philosophies in play, we feel we can continue to create future characters with the same identifiable clarity we have delivered upon so far.

One of the most noticeable changes moving from CSGO to Valorant is how much you slow down when you start to take damage (“tagging”). This effect seems much stronger in Valorant, making peeking in and out of cover more risky. Are you happy with tagging in its current state?

Joe Ziegler: We’re currently happy with the effect it creates, which is to push engagement and prevent combat from becoming “too slippery” in the sense that players default to pulling away instead of engaging. Additionally we’re also happy with the level of consequence it pushes for players advancing into an open area without using abilities to mask their advance or push back their enemies. We’ll always be looking into individual cases and tuning and tweaking based on what we see, but for now we feel like the interactions the tagging system is creating are strongly aligned with our gameplay values.

Incidentally, tagging was made less severe in patch 1.02, after these questions were sent in.

So far, we have several characters that can essentially throw flashbangs of various types, several that throw smokes, several that can self-heal. In terms of designing agent abilities, how will you ensure each role’s kit offers tactical diversity?

With our upcoming agents we’re looking to allow for the creation of new strategies, new types of plays.

Joe Ziegler: Our framework for the starting eleven agents in our roster was to cover the basics of the functions of the known tactical space in creative and interesting ways while also adding a few new elements here and there to challenge the notion of what is possible in the space. A lot of these basics are what you’ve described here, vision blocking, breaching, flushing and distracting, so a lot of our tools for our initial characters focused on filling those purposes. With our upcoming agents we’re looking to broaden a bit on that and challenge some new areas of the tactical space and allow for the creation of new strategies, new types of plays. I won’t give any spoilers here, but I look forward to seeing how the gameplay evolves with these additions.

The recent improvements to Vanguard – most notably, the tray icon that allows you to disable Vanguard until your next reboot – make a lot of sense. Is Vanguard now in a state where you’re happy with it, or are there any other community-requested changes you’re considering?

Paul Chamberlain: We’re always going to be looking for improvements that we can make to Vanguard and our anti-cheat efforts in general. One requested feature we have coming soon is that we will start giving feedback to players when a person they report gets banned for cheating. As we hear more requests for features from players we’ll try and see if we can bring them into Vanguard, since at the end of the day the anti-cheat system is here to serve the player community.

How large is the Valorant development team compared to that of League of Legends?

Joe Ziegler: Valorant’s dev team is about 150 people, which is smaller than League’s team.

Can Valorant support left-handed view models (“cl_righthand 0” in CSGO)?

We definitely hear the community on [left-handed view models]… expect to hear more on this in the future.

Dave Heironymus: We definitely hear the community on this one, and we’ve done some light investigation internally to understand how much work is involved. No committed timeline yet, but expect to hear more on this in the future.

Certain maps seem to appear a lot more frequently than others when playing ranked or unranked matches online. For example, I was in a game last night where another player said that they had never played on Split after seventy hours in-game. Is this a bug, or are the chances each map appears adjusted by the development team, eg in order to get feedback on new maps?

Dave Heironymus: We did actually reduce Split’s selection rate at launch because it’s a little less beginner friendly, but now all maps are equally weighted. We don’t do anything special to force map variety based on recent games, so with four maps and a 75 per cent chance to not get a particular map (eg Split). I can believe there are players out there who are unlucky (or lucky?) enough to not play on Split for long periods of time.

Recently a clip was posted on Reddit that seems to show that any wall can be penetrated – but only if you hit the enemy player in the hand. What were the most unusual bugs or issues reported by Riot playtesters in alpha or earlier?

Chase Swanson: Our test strategy for Valorant has involved Rioters from every discipline, inside and outside of our development team testing with purpose from even the very early stages of development. As you increase the variety of your gameplay (through features, characters, abilities, maps etc) you subsequently increase the amount of permutations where these features interact and potentially behave in unexpected ways. As this risk grows, our testing coverage must grow along with it. An example of this is a critical server crash we discovered when using Sage and Omen ultimates on the same frame in a match.

The hardest system to test for was probably Fog of War, as the intent of the feature is to explicitly obfuscate information from the client’s perspective. Bugs in this feature could result in the client seeing things that are not actually there, like ghost players taking sniper shots, or fake bombs on the minimap. Our QA Engineer on the game systems team had to build a unique test methodology to identify, isolate and reproduce these rare bugs. We’ve also had our fair share of fun ones, like players being able to ride character abilities like Gary the robot, or flying through the air on Sova’s dart.

However, our favourite bug of all time has to be the one where Cypher’s camera can equip a gun. I don’t think we would have found this issue even if we took another year to develop. Thank you to our players for finding and reporting this. You have taught us a lot about how to better prioritise what we can and should test before release.

Desynchronisation issues are some of the most challenging to solve, as the effects are subtle and objective testing is problematic. How have you tackled this issue, and are any desync bugs still known to exist?

David Straily: We place big priority on creating “knowable systems.” Debug tooling, automation, telemetry, are all used to great effect to ensure we are creating stable systems.

One internal cheat we have is an overlay to detect “dropped shots” – every time you land a shot on your client, but the server registers it as a miss – we print out the (client and server) hitbox outlines and full debug data. QA and playtesters video record, we capture footage of the instance, and then fixes are prioritised as necessary on the dev team.

Competitive integrity is a core pillar for our game. When we discover desyncs, we fix them ASAP (above other features). A big benefit of us operating as a live service is that you can have confidence as a player that Valorant fixes are fast and frequent.

Spike Rush is an interesting new mode, and one that’s sparked interest amongst the community as to what other modes could exist in the future. Normally, game modding and scripting are key to seeing a wide range of new modes appear, but Blizzard has shown with Overwatch that building these tools into the game while retaining control of game files can also work well. Is this something that the Valorant team is interested in exploring in the future?

Joe Ziegler: We’ve definitely considered it, but I think ultimately we find it difficult to focus our efforts on delivering a streamlined experience while also supporting and helping to curate community created content. This may change in the future, but for the time being, given how much we are focused on bringing the gameplay forward, filling out our content, and pushing improvements to our out of game experiences, our developers already have a full plate.

Could Valorant technically support, for example, tens or hundreds of players in a single match, or a game mode with a much larger map?

David Straily: Not without some compromise on our 128-tick servers and client performance targets. If we ever were to do something at this scale, we would run a thorough investigation to find the best solve which maximises player value. In the ideal we would do something with dynamic tick rates, where you keep a high frame rate when it matters most in gameplay, and then scale it down in situations where competitive integrity is a less critical need.

Retake servers are popular amongst CSGO enthusiasts, as they allow teams and individuals to practice the most crucial part of a round – retaking or defending a bombsite – with realistic positions, smokes and other abilities already in play. Could Valorant support this in future?

Joe Ziegler: Definitely a thought we’ve had in the past, especially as an alternate mode. It’s possible we may introduce something similar to this concept as part of our efforts to add more practice modes, or alternate modes in the future as we evolve the game.

How are match servers allocated when pre-made teams are split across multiple geographical regions? Are there any regions where the development team is looking to increase the number of available servers?

Dave Heironymus: Geographically dispersed pre-made [teams] are a tough problem, particularly in a game that prioritises minimising latency. The key metric for determining where to put a pre-made is “ping delta from best game server” and we try to minimise this value at all times. Right now we’re looking to fill out a few locations in North America and Europe, but we’re always looking at latency values across the world to understand where we need to invest more.

There was a point where frame-time on the server was ~32ms. We knew we had to eventually land on <3ms to be ship-ready.

What were the biggest technical challenges during development?

David Straily: 128-tick servers at scale. There was a low point in development where frame-time on the server was ~32 milliseconds. We knew we had to eventually land on <3 milliseconds to be ship-ready.

It is quite a daunting thought to know we’d have to achieve more than ten times the performance in just one to two years’ time. But somehow, we did it. I’m very proud of our engineering team and what we accomplished.

What advice would you give to an indie studio looking to create a game with a similar competitive focus?

Dave Heironymus: Deeply understanding the intended audience was critical to knowing what to prioritise for Valorant. We knew that players who love tactical shooters really wanted crisp gunplay, high fps and solid anti-cheat. Keeping those as our pillars helped us determine the right constraints for our art, design and tech teams to work within. Similarly, I think an indie studio would really need to hone in on what audience they want to serve and then really nail that audience’s core needs while keeping overall scope under control.

Thanks to the Riot Games team for their time spent answering these questions, and to the Redditors who contributed topics they’d like to see answered – including Nhirak, Raiid_CS, DoctorWho2015, TheWinterLord, BmpBlast, LittleLunia, Arkiece and LuxSolisPax who suggested particularly interesting questions.

Top-Rated Electric Guitars Under $500 – List & Reviews

Have you been learning the basics of shreddability on a $100 First Act and are looking to step up your game? Or perhaps you’re a novice or entry-level musician looking for your first electric guitar? Or maybe yet you’re an experienced acoustic player looking to break into the world of electric-driven axes?

Whatever brings you to this list of the best electric guitars under $500, I’ve chosen a great arsenal for you to admire.

These electric guitars under $500 offer a serious amount of quality and playability while boasting a moderate price tag that shouldn’t leave your savings more sore than your over-practiced fingertips. They’re stage-ready rockers that will set you up for years of practice and performance.

Our Recommendation

At this price point, it’s really a toss-up between a few different guitars that I absolutely love. I’ve awarded the top spot to the signature style guitar of my favorite guitarist, Steve Vai.

The Ibanez JEMJR is the budget edition of the iconic JEM series by Ibanez, featuring a super fast Wizard III neck, beautiful tree of life inlays, and the monkey grip handle that sets these guitars apart.

It’s super shreddable and can make even a beginner look like a rock legend. We’ve talked about it before here, and as you can tell, I’m still a huge fan.

On the other end of the list we’ve got the Epiphone G-400 Pro, an affordable Gibson remake in the style of an SG. It’s got all the features of a great electric under $500, but I’m always a bit weary of Epiphone’s internal wiring quality, which lands this axe the #7 spot. Still a good guitar, but lacking the resilience needed to kick it farther up the list.

Now, let’s take a look at what makes these the seven best electric guitars for under $500.

The Seven Best Electric Guitars Under $500 – Overview

#7 Epiphone G-400 Pro

3.8/5 Star Rating

Specs

Body – Mahogany

Neck – Mahogany

Fingerboard – Pau ferro

Electronics – Dual Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers

Pros

An affordable SG model

Crunch, sustain, and classic looks

SlimTaper “D” neck adds speed and chording power

Cons

Pickup wiring can become loose after heavy bumps and bangs

Muddy tone doesn’t facilitate the cleanest sounds

Review

If you’re a fan of traditional Gibson models but don’t want to sell your first-born child to afford your hobby, Epiphone’s got your back. They’re a child-company of Gibson, and churn out a plethora of great guitars modeled after the most iconic axes in rock’n’roll history.

The G-400 Pro is a modern replication of the 1960s Gibson SG, beginning production in the 80s and updated every few years to keep it relevant in the modern age.

Epiphone has kept all the major components of the vintage Gibson, including a mahogany body and a fast and fun 1960s-style SlimTaper “D” neck while manufacturing these guitars using cutting edge efficiency that keeps them at an affordable price.

The G-400 Pro really rocks. It’s a powerhouse of tone and sustain, perfect for all genres of rock, most metal, and gritty blues. Its vintage-style dual Alnico humbuckers don’t really have the purity of tone that you need for sultry jazz or super-clean chorus work, but if your aim is to rock, it can no doubt hold its own.

I mention in about every Epiphone review that their wire-work is a bit shoddy. If they took the time to ensure their wiring was more stable, this would be an almost flawless guitar, but the extra production hours would certainly kick the price up a couple hundred dollars.

So, I’m satisfied with the balance, and know that if the pickups ever start getting some hiss and crackle, a quick trip to the guitar tech can solve the issue for still a lot less money than a brand-name Gibson.

#6 ESP LTD KH-202, Signature Series Kirk Hammett

4.25/5 Star Rating

Specs

Body – Basswood

Neck – Maple

Fingerboard – Roasted Jatoba

Electronics – Neck: ESP designed LH-301N humbucker Bridge: ESP designed LH-301B humbucker

Pros

Floyd Rose Special whammy bar bridge for tremendous squeals

Metallica’s Kirk Hammett’s signature guitar at a price you can’t beat

Ultra-thin U-shaped neck for playing at ultrasonic speed

Cons

Lacks individual tone knobs for the pickups

Review

Kirk Hammett is one of the biggest names in rock and metal. He partnered with ESP to produce this signature shred-machine which is now offered to you at a price tag that won’t make your bank account… fade to black.

At first look, this axe from ESP seems like a pretty standard electric guitar, but get a little closer and you’ll notice it has quite a few traits that set it apart.

Purely ornamental but cool nonetheless are the skull and crossbone fret inlays, adding to this guitar’s overall made-to-metal vibe.

It has dual ESP designed LH-301 humbuckers set in a lightweight basswood body, producing a sick sound perfect for everything heavy metal, from Metallica covers to new-age drop tuned breakdowns.

With the Floyd Rose Special bridge and whammy bar, you can do steep dive bombs and squealing harmonics without worrying about your tuning being shattered, and can wail to your heart’s content without stressing too much about mid-performance string snaps.

Although it has a three-way pickup selector switch, I always prefer total tone control, and unfortunately this ESP KH-202 lacks individual pickup tone knobs. However, it’s master tone control is good enough for most general purposes, and of course when you plug into a good amp you can dial in your sound to perfection.

#5 PRS SE Standard 24

4/5 Star Rating

Specs

Body – Mahogany

Neck – Maple

Fingerboard – Rosewood

Electronics – Dual 85/15 “S” humbuckers

Pros

Push/Pull coil-tapping tone control for versatile pickup configurations

PRS tremolo bar gives you added opportunities for defining your sound

Mahogany + maple tonewood combo for crunchy overdrive to crisp, clean chords

Cons

Can use a tuning machine upgrade

PRS tremolo system not the best for tuning stability

Review

This PRS SE Standard 24 is the first guitar on this list that can perform in a clean setting just as well as a hair metal showdown.

I’m a big fan of coil-tapping mechanisms, since they allow you to experience both the fat power of dual humbuckers as well as the clarity of single-coil pickups, all with just the push or pull of a knob.

Thanks to this, the SE Standard 24 is capable of performing in nearly any electric guitar genre.

You can go with the default humbucker setup to grind out distorted progressions and deeply overdriven leads, throwing in some wacky whammy work as you please, or you can tap the pickups into single-coil mode for clean jazz, clear chords, and sultry solos in any softer music style.

Cosmetically, PRS guitars are always beautiful, the SE Standard 24 being no exception. It’s available in Tobacco Sunburst, Translucent Blue, and Vintage Cherry finishes, and all feature the signature PRS bird fret inlays.

Costing much less than most other PRS guitars but offering comparable tone and playability, the SE Standard 24 is a great choice for a first electric guitar or an upgrade from your current setup.

#4 ESP LTD EC-256FM

4.25/5 Star Rating

Specs

Body – Mahogany with Flamed Maple top

Neck – Mahogany

Fingerboard – Roasted jatoba

Electronics – Neck: ESP designed LH-150N humbucker Bridge: ESP designed LH-150B humbucker

Pros

Huge sustain in every range

Push-pull coil tapping feature for clean or dirty tones

Thin U-shaped neck for high-speed riffs and licks

Cons

No tremolo bar

Review

Another ESP making this list, the LTD EC-256FM is a fantastic instrument for all electric-driven music styles.

Like the PRS above, it features a push-pull coil tapping setup to give you a huge range of tones, from super crunchy rock riffs to a bright and articulate single-coil sound that can make angels weep.

It has a heavy-duty mahogany body with a beautiful flamed maple top that produces a large and robust voice that can not go unnoticed. Thanks to its set-in mahogany neck, you get sustain for days whether you’re in the midst of a low end quarter-time sludge breakdown or a wailing 22nd fret soulful solo.

The LTD EC-256FM’s pickups are upgraded a few notches above the KH-202 with dual LH-150 humbuckers that send forth a solid wall of sound.

It’s a beautiful guitar, with ESP flag fret inlays and finish options ranging from Cobalt Blue, to Dark Brown Sunburst, to my personal favorite, See Thru Purple Sunburst.

The only thing lacking in this axe is a whammy bar, which is unfortunate but can be overlooked considering all its other great aspects.

#3 Yamaha RevStar RS420

4.5/5 Star Rating

Specs

Body – Nato with maple top

Neck – Nato

Fingerboard – Rosewood

Electronics – Dual VH3 Alnico V humbuckers

Pros

Power-packed tone in the mid and high ranges

Push-pull “Dry switch” for buzz-free single-coil mode

Slim neck profile for all-day playing comfort

Cons

No tremolo bar

Lags a little in the low range

Review

Yamaha’s RevStar lineup is rather unconventionally based on vintage-style street racing motorcycles. It’s not exactly surprising considering that Yamaha is a world-renowned producer of such bikes, but it’s the first guitar I’ve ever heard of to be based on such a concept.

Whatever the inspiration, the RevStar RS420 is a super cool looking electric that sports a few features bringing it close to the top of the list of the best electric guitars under $500.

Among these features is a thoroughly researched Push-Pull “Dry switch.” This mechanism comes after over 50 different design prototypes, and is there to give you the option to switch from double-coil to single-coil playing mode without the worrisome buzz that so often accompanies single-coil pickups.  You can read more about the Yamaha dry switch here.

When you want to play clean, or lighten up your dirty tone a bit for more alt-rock or pop punk style progressions, this dry switch is a dream come true.

Although nato is not a favorite wood among guitar manufacturers, it performs just about as well as the more traditional body woods while keeping costs low. The only problem in the RS420’s construction is that the nato doesn’t boast as thick a low-end tone as guitars with solid mahogany bodies.

Nonetheless, the RevStar RS420 is a great offering from a company whose quality is never a letdown, and can be used in pretty much every genre excepting the grimiest of metals that require the utmost of bass in the breakdowns.

#2 Fender Duo-Sonic

5/5 Star Rating

Specs

Body – Alder

Neck – Maple

Fingerboard – Maple

Electronics – Dual Duo-Sonic single coil pickups

Pros

Crisp Fender tone at an affordable price point

Vintage, comfortable body shape

Originally marketed as a beginner guitar due to smaller body shape, made famous by guitar greats

Cons

No individual tone controls

Review

The Duo-Sonic was initially released in 1956, marketed as a starter guitar and billed as a “3/4-size Fender.” However, it was quickly picked up by several great guitarists and rose to prominence over the next couple decades as a workhorse of a Fender. Curious? Fender has a great article all about the Duo-Sonic’s history

It has been seen in the hands of Steely Dan’s Walter Becker, Blur’s Damon Alburn, and believe it or not, Jimi Hendrix.

I won’t mislead you and say that the Fender Duo-Sonic is capable of everything. For the heaviest rock genres, its single-coil pickups and bright-singing tonewood combo isn’t going to give you the crunch you need. But if you’re looking to play a style where distortion and grind isn’t the key factor, the Duo-Sonic delivers the signature sound that has kept Fender among the top brands of electric guitar since their inception.

It has a “C” shaped neck profile, perfect for long-lasting chord work and funky riffage. Its alder + maple tonewood combo produces bright, crisp, cheery tones that are great for jazz, pop, funk, blues, and the lighter rock genres.

When I pick up an electric, generally I’m looking for a fat metal tone and immediately jump into a drop tuning for in-your-face breakdowns, but I had a great time playing the Duo-Sonic and thought that it delivered a tone I could be happy with for ages.

#1 Ibanez JEMJR Steve Vai Signature

5/5 Star Rating

Specs

Body – Meranti

Neck – Maple

Fingerboard – Jatoba

Electronics – Neck: Quantum passive ceramic humbucker  Middle: Quantum passive Alnico single-coil  Bridge: Quantum passive ceramic humbucker

Pros

5-way pickup selector switch and 3 pickups for tonal versatility

Double-locking tremolo bridge so you can whammy all night long

Wizard III neck design for the fastest riffs you can imagine

Cons

None

Review

Finally, we’ve come to my #1 recommendation, the signature JEMJR signature guitar of my favorite guitarist, Steve Vai.

The JEMJR is the affordable version of Ibanez’s main Steve Vai lineup, the renowned JEM series. A few simple substitution were all it took to bring this line from over $1000 to the under $500 range we’re looking at now, such as meranti instead of alder for the body wood, jatoba in lieu of an ebony fingerboard, and Quantum pickups rather than the top-of-the-line DiMarzios.

These substitutions sacrifice very little in terms of tone as far as the average player is concerned. You might hesitate to play the jam-packed auditoriums that Steve Vai is accustomed to, but for smaller shows where your multi-million dollar reputation isn’t on the line, the JEMJR has everything you need for a rock solid performance.

I’m by no means a guitar god, but the simple act of picking up the JEMJR imbues me with loads more of playing confidence, and I can’t help but try my best to rip out some lightning fast arpeggios the moment I plug it in.

Its tone is no joke, with three powerful Quantum pickups that are super hot, highly articulate, and let every note sing loud and clear no matter the range or distortion level.

This guitar won’t instantly transform you into a rock legend, but it can sure start you down the path of mastering the electric guitar. Couple the JEMJR and our how to solo guide, and you’ll be on your way to feeling like a rock god yourself in no time.

Buyer’s Guide

Is it Worth Buying a Guitar for Under $500?

Without a doubt! Electric guitars under $500 come totally packed with features, and are 100% worthy of performances big and small.

You’ll find the tone of guitars in this price range to be on par with electrics costing up to twice as much, although the pickups in the higher end guitars are generally a lot more versatile and a lot more articulate.

As far as playability goes, there’s virtually no difference between an electric for under $500 and one for over $1000. These under $500 electric guitars have all the construction features of the more expensive guitars and are as fun and easy to play as a guitar can be.

Who Should Buy a Guitar in this Range?

Electric guitars under $500 are perfect for just about every skill level, but I’d probably recommend something on the higher-end for guitarists that are looking to play sold-out auditoriums

Beginners who’ve never played guitar before will find that they’ve bought an instrument that sounds better than they might expect and that are totally without the faults you can find in lower priced guitars. However, if there’s a chance that you might pick up this hobby for only a short while, never to return, I would suggest you test your skills with a more affordable option. We’ve reviewed several great electric guitars for under $200 if this is more where your budget and aspirations sit.

Intermediate players of course will love an electric guitar at this price point. They’re truly quality instruments with only minor differences between them and the most extravagant models. For just about everything you could need a guitar for, electrics under $500 will meet your demands.

Advanced and expert players who want to add another guitar to their collection will have no problem with most of these models, but depending on budget might want to look for something with better pickups or something specifically suited to their musical desires.

Another bonus and reason to buy a guitar at this price point is that they are perfect for upgrading. We’ll look at this a little closer right now.

Can Guitars Under $500 Be Upgraded?

These are perhaps the best electric guitars for upgrading. Depending on what you buy and what you want to change, they make excellent project instruments.

Guitars a couple hundred dollars below this range oftentimes have cheap bodies that for the most part aren’t worth upgrading, because if you’re starting from such a budget base, the money would be better invested in saving for a new guitar.

However, the guitars in this list are built with great care and quality, and usually only have one thing setting them apart from higher-priced models: the pickups.

If you want to start to learn to wire an electric guitar and otherwise fix flaws that you find in budget instruments, this is a great place to start. With a little know-how and extra money invested, you can take an under $500 guitar to a totally custom built axe with no problem.

Changing the pickups is a great way to boost your tone, and if you have a bolt on neck, this too can be swapped for an upgrade.

Another thing to change could be the bridge, swapping tremolo systems or adding one in the first place.

Of course, tuning machines are a simple, easy replacement job, but for the most part the guitars in this list have perfectly dependable tuners.

In the end, you can choose to upgrade or not. As long as you know what you’re doing, there can be only positive things to come from installing better pickups or giving yourself a new funky whammy bar.

The Final Word

We’ve explored a lot of great options in this list, with guitars suitable for every genre of electrified music.

The Fender Duo-Sonic is the clear winner for softer rock styles and clean guitar work, while the Ibanez JEMJR can do it all.

It was a challenge sorting guitars #3 through #6, as they’re all pretty much equally rock-worthy. Mostly, this part of the ranking was arbitrary, and you can trust that you won’t regret your choice among any of the guitars in this review.

Take the time to think about what direction you want to take your music, and what you really want in an electric guitar. These are the best electric guitars under $500, and I’m sure there’s one on this list for you.

Review: The 2018 i7 15-inch MacBook Pro is much more than a spec bump

Looking at the outside of the computer, it is very easy to think that the new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Core i7 processor is unchanged from last year's model. However, there is a surprising amount of improvements beyond just a new and powerful processor that Apple users have been looking for. Subscribe to AppleInsider on YouTube Different models for different people Even though these machines carry that "Pro" designator appended to the end, that term is little more than a marketing one. It is more than professionals that flock to Apple's more capable portable laptops. Apple has a wide-ranging lineup with a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Function Keys which was not updated this year. Right above it is the newly updated 13-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro, which we've already reviewed. Then there is the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, which comes in a few different configurations with either an i7 or i9 Intel processor. For this review, we will be tackling the base model 15-inch MacBook Pro which comes equipped with 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 2.2GHz six-core i7 Intel processor, a Radeon Pro 555X AMD graphics card and 4GB of VRAM. We expect that this will be Apple's most popular model for users looking for a capable machine with a larger screen than the 13-inch MacBook Pro, rather than the i9. Getting the basics out of the way From the exterior, nothing on the outside has changed from the last two iterations on the current MacBook Pro design. It remains well engineered, largely crafted from that single block of aluminum. That unibody design looks nice, sleek, and remains one of the most portable pro machines we've tested. There are still two Thunderbolt 3 ports on each side, with the right side also keeping the headphone jack. For now. Once opened up, we see the same 15.4-inch Retina display that we've had for a few years. It is an extremely capable display that looks great and supports the P3 wide color gamut for excellent color reproduction. Bezels are still a bit excessive when compared to the rest of the industry, but that seems destined to be changed during a larger design refresh than this iterative spec upgrade. Apple's all-glass trackpad still remains best-in-class, which goes a long way towards getting work done on-the-go. Above that trackpad though, is a keyboard that looks the same as previous models, but has a lot of improvements under the hood. Clickity clack, it's keyboard time We spend a lot of time around here typing away on our MacBook Pro keyboards. Which means, over a few years time, we've become quite accustomed to Apple's super-slim butterfly mechanism. If you love it or hate it, that assessment isn't going to be changed by this new third-generation design. It is essentially the same on the outside that we've seen the past several years with a couple important improvements this time around. As Apple is quick to note, the new keyboard is quieter than the before. Some have said it is a minor change, but personally, I find it more substantial than that. There is a clear audible difference between the two and it was instantly notable. This may be more of a side effect of the other notable change -- a silicone barrier meant to prevent the ingress of debris. iFixit discovered this super slim membrane, and since then the internet has been wild with speculation, wondering if this was the primary design change, and the noise suppression only being secondary. After a bit of testing, it appears that this membrane definitely helps prevent the smallest bits of dust from entering the sensitive internal mechanism, but doesn't completely solve it. Only time will tell if it will significantly improve the longevity of the MacBook Pro keyboard. Some teardown establishments feel that it will, but we'll see with time. Typing-wise, it feels nearly the same as last generation, with not too much vertical movement, though they do seem a bit stiffer this time around. That could also be attributed to this being a new machine, and it may soften over time. Obviously, the Touch Bar is still here, which while it has a few neat tricks here and there, has largely gone unfulfilled in its potential. Only in a few situations do we prefer it over a standard set of function keys. Touch ID is still quite useful, but we prefer logging in automatically using our Apple Watch to even using our finger. A little bit warmer now... No, we aren't talking about the processors just yet, but rather the display. Even if the built-in display hasn't been upgraded, Apple did include True Tone for the first time on a Mac. What it does is adjust the display's white balance depending on the ambient lighting in the room. Florescent lighting vs warmer incandescent bulbs can have different tints of white, leaning bluer or yellower. By adjusting the display to match the lighting, it makes it easier on your eyes. Not only does it work on the internal display, but it works with certain external monitors as well including the LG UltraFine series and Apple's Thunderbolt display. True Tone utilizes a pair of sensors built into the MacBook Pro's display, so it is required to be open to work with external displays. I've been thrilled with True Tone, and legitimately one of our favorite features for everyday use. But, professional video and photo editors will want to disable it before they break out the calibration gear to know the actual color, rather than having the display be easier on the eye. Hidden upgrades?! Internally, there are quite a few changes Apple has made this time around, that many may not even notice at first blush. Bluetooth Take Bluetooth 5 for example. Bluetooth 5 is a huge improvement over Bluetooth 4.2. It significantly increases range and bandwidth. You will need new accessories to take advantage of it, but many have already started hitting the market. T2 Apple also added their internal coprocessor, dubbed the T2, which we first saw in the iMac Pro. This custom chip handles a lot of different system processes in the MacBook Pro. It securely handles Touch ID, assists in audio and image processing, disk encryption, and even "Hey Siri" functionality. Benefits are immediately apparent across the board. The FaceTime camera is still only 720p, but with the T2, white balance is better, there is less noise, and it works better in low light. The built-in microphones pick up voices a bit better, though there is a bit more background noise. Using FileVault disk encryption used to slow down the machine a bit, but with the T2 handling encryption, this is a thing of the past. Speakers Apple seems to have been learning a bit on the audio front with their work with HomePod and AirPods. They aren't louder, but the internal speakers are now fuller and more well balanced than in the past. It is particularly noticable in the mid and low end when we played back a variety of different music. The 2016 MacBook Pro's speakers were always excellent, but they've gotten better this time around. Thermal Throttling? There has been much discussion around thermal throttling, particularly with the i9 model of the MacBook Pro. Apple did acknowledge this, and actually issued a software update patch to help correct this issue on all models of the 2018 MacBook Pro. For all our testing, we re-ran all our benchmarks after the patch and used those values for this review. As the i9 model was most impacted by this thermal issue, we'll discuss that a bit more in Sunday's i9 review. Benchmarking in 3.. 2.. 1.. go! We ran a suite of different benchmarking tests on our new MacBook Pro, and were quite pleased with the results we attained. All of the tests we ran, we also ran on the top-of-the-line 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro with i9 processor, and even a few on our personal 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro. Starting out with what was least impressive, our OpenGL graphics test inside of Cinebench R15. The AMD Radeon Pro 555X is not all that different from last years graphics, and that is apparent in the test results. After running the test four times back-to-back-to-back-to-back, we averaged 88.96 FPS. Performing the same methodology on our high-end 2017 Pro, we averaged 88.57 FPS. Barely a noticeable change. What really did peak our interest, however, was the impressive results from the Cinebench R15 CPU benchmark. Last years model pulled 763, for the best you could buy at that time. This year, on the base model, we averaged 930.75. A huge difference year over year. Not only was that our average, but the test spiked to as high as 1053, far eclipsing our top results from the past two years. Standard Geekbench 4 testing yielded 4,972 and 22,009 as the single and multi-core results on our new 2018 model, compared to 4,946 and 16,599 respectively. Single core is unsurprisingly largely unchanged, but multi-core got a huge boost. This is due to the new six-core processors found inside. When looking at pure processing power, it is clear these new models are a substantial improvement. The base model 15-inch won't ever get confused for a gaming rig, but it will easily be enough to dip your toes in. We did some test exports through Final Cut Pro X, and we didn't see too much improvement between last year and this year. But, when I ran the same 4K export on my 2016 MacBook Pro, I saw a substantial decrease in export times. In fact, my 2016 MacBook Pro took 50 percent longer than the new Pro, after averaging three test exports of a 4K clip. Regarding battery life, in our testing, it seemed pretty on par with previous generations. Technically, the battery has been increased quite a bit, but that is more to compensate for the faster DDR4 RAM and more power hungry processors. Apple rates it for about ten hours of use, which is fair under a light load. If you are tackling some intense video editing, that comes down to about three. We're pretty happy with these results. Conclusion Sure, we didn't see a redesign of the exterior, but that shouldn't undercut the laundry list of other improvements we saw this year on the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro. This is the largest amount of improvement we've seen when it comes to an off-year obligatory "spec bump" upgrade. Score: 4.5 out of 5 The choice between the 2017 and 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro is pretty obvious, but it is far less so with the 15-inch model. It's probably not worth upgrading from the 2017 15-inch 2017 MacBook Pro with i7 to the 2018, but if you've been waiting to take the plunge from an older model, even the 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro now is a good time, considering that the next round of processors that will go in the MacBook Pro aren't expected until the tail-end of 2019. Performance has increased leaps and bound, making this one of the most capable base model machines Apple has ever released.

Can the iPad Pro Replace Your Laptop?

My 21-Day Experiment

From the day Steve Jobs first introduced the iPad in 2010, I was hooked—at least in theory. The promise of a small, ultraportable tablet was a dream come true. I saw the potential immediately. Unfortunately, it never worked out for me in practice.

I bought every iPad ever produced (with the exception of the iPad Pro 12″), hoping Apple could finally deliver on its promise. Don’t get me wrong: these machines were amazing, especially for consuming media. Whether reading on the Kindle app, catching up on my RSS feeds, or watching videos, the iPad provided a delightful experience.

But I am a content creator. I need a machine for creating content, not just consuming it. That’s where the iPad fell short for me—until now.

Apple introduced its new iPad Pro 10.5″ at its WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 5, 2017. I watched the demo and—like Charlie Brown hoping that Lucy would not pull the football out from under him—I ordered one.

I got the 256 GB version without built-in cellular. Within two weeks, I returned it to Apple and traded it for the cellular version. It’s a no-brainer. For a little bit more, you can have almost continuous access to the Internet without having to futz around with logging into a local network.

The specs are impressive. As you would expect, it is the fastest, thinnest iPad ever. The screen is especially impressive. It sports a 120 Hz refresh rate and is 50 percent brighter than the earlier models.

If you use the Apple Pencil, there is almost zero lag time. I literally forget I’m writing on a screen. It also provides “fast charge support.” If you are using the 29W charger (sold separately), it can cut your battery charging time to less than half.

But how does it work in real life—especially for someone who creates content for a living?

Gail and I spent three weeks in Italy this summer. Rather than lug my MacBook Pro around, I decided to take my new iPad Pro and a Smart Keyboard. This was my first time to use my iPad as my primary computer. I thought it would be an interesting experiment.

Without a doubt, it took me a few days to adjust. But here are five things I loved about using the iPad Pro as my primary computer.

1. Plenty of Computing Power

The new iPad Pro is powered by Apple’s own A10X processor. It is surprisingly fast—the equal of most laptops. This is especially noticeable when coupled with the iPad’s ProMotion display.

Scrolling and animations are buttery-smooth. You’ll also experience virtually no lag when using the Apple Pencil. It’s almost the same experience as writing on paper—a big improvement from just the last iPad model.

2. Super Light and Thin

My cellular iPad Pro weighs just 1.05 pounds. This is ridiculously light. And it fits nearly anywhere. This may not sound like much, but it is one-third the weight of my MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.

It also doesn’t require a large computer bag, because the power supply and accessories are so minimal. In fact, you might not need a separate bag at all. Nevertheless, I bought a beautiful Everki Venue Mini-Messener bag, which is just about the perfect bag ever designed. It is super low profile and the iPad Pro fits in it perfectly. It has room for all the other items I normally carry, including my Full Focus Planner™.

3. Improved Keyboard

I could never type accurately on the iPad’s software keyboard. It might be fine for typing a word here and there but didn’t work for serious content creation. I was constantly missing the keys. And, of course, there was no tactile feedback. I tried the Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro 9.7, but it too didn’t quite work. It just felt too cramped.

However, the Smart Keyboard for the 10.5″ machine is excellent. The difference in size between the iPad 9.7″ this one may not seem like much, but it makes all the difference in the usability of the keyboard. It feels almost full-size, unlike the one for the 9.7 iPad.

By the way, I also tried the Logitech Slim Combo. On the surface, it seems vastly superior to the Smart Keyboard. It is backlit and has function keys on the top row. It also provides for multiple viewing angles. But in practice, I found it to be too bulky. It actually feels larger than my MacBook Pro.

In fact, it weighs 1.41 lbs.—50 percent more than the iPad Pro itself. The iPad Pro and the keyboard weigh in at 2.46 lbs. Not all that much, but you might as well take a MacBook (2.03 lbs.) or a MacBook Pro (3.02 lbs.).

4. Game-Changing Operating System

Without question, iOS 11 is Apple’s biggest iOS upgrade ever. I ran it for almost two months before it was released publicly, so I really got to put it through its paces. It feels much more familiar to people who, like me, work on a desktop Mac almost all day.

You can now select from up to fifteen apps on the new Dock, which is always just a swipe away. It looks—and works—just like the desktop Dock we all know and love.

You can run more than one task on screen. It’s called a Workspace. You could do this before, but it was clunky. I could never remember how to do it in iOS 10. The implementation in iOS 11 is much more intuitive. You can even add a third app via Slide Over, though, to be honest, I haven’t found much use for this.

You can Command-Tab between open apps just like on your Apple desktop or laptop. You can even Command-Tab between Workspaces. You can also select apps or workspaces with the new Multitasking Switcher, which also displays the control center.

You can manage files using the new Files app. It brings all your files together in one place, including those from Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud. Unfortunately, it doesn’t yet support Google Team Drives, which our company uses, but I am sure it’s only a matter of time before that happens.

5. Mobile Apps on Par with Desktop

It had been a while since I used an iPad for anything more than occasionally consuming media. I was pleasantly surprised that all my favorite desktop apps were available on iOS with power and feature parity.

Whether it’s Slack, Mail, Fantastical, FullContact, Ulysses, Workflowy, Nozbe, Day One, or even Facebook, they were a delight to use. In fact, some apps—Day One and Facebook, for example—I like better on the iPad than on the desktop.

The one noticeable exception is Evernote. The new mobile app is definitely an improvement over the old one, but it has not yet achieved feature parity with its desktop big brother. Most notably, you can’t create tables on the iPad app. This is a big frustration for me, as I make heavy use of tables. Also, it doesn’t preserve any tag hierarchy you might be using in the desktop version.

What’s the Verdict?

Was there anything I didn’t like? Well, not really. It exceeded my expectations on nearly all fronts. It’s a beautiful machine coupled with an elegant operating system.

Having said that, I don’t see myself going “iPad-only” like my friend, Michael Sliwinski. I still plan to use my iMac and MacBook Pro at home. But on the road? Absolutely.

For the work I do, there’s no real reason to lug around the extra weight and peripherals associated with a laptop.

Question: Have you ever tried to go “iPad-only”? What did you discover? You can leave a comment by clicking here.

Sony introduced a brand new phone for North The united states the previous day. The Xperia L1 is a quite well-known midrange Android device that features a USB-C port, runs Android N, and is derived in purple. These are all desirable things. Here are the relaxation of the specs:

Sony Xperia Z2 Smartphone Review Part 2

The Xperia Z2 is the ultra-modern premium cellphone from Sony. Designed to compete directly with the only M8 from HTC and the within your budget Google Nexus five, it pushes the display screen size takes up to five.2 inches whilst preserving the water resistance feature of its predecessor. In an, in advance article, we took a observe the handsets layout and production. Here we evaluation the generation contained inside its smooth steel and glass casing.

Excessive-stop processing energy

As anticipated from a flagship Android phone, the Sony truly flies during use way to its rapid 2.3GHz quad-center Snapdragon 801 processor and capacious 3GB of RAM. Assisting well-known speed, Sony also refrains from overloading its device with bespoke software, leaving the mostly original Google Android software program to run the device.

We benchmarked the Xperia (the usage of AnTuTu) at 32,504, that is barely slower than the HTC One M8, although the distinction is so small we would not fear about it as in real world use we do not suppose everybody might ever notice. This level of velocity puts the handset within the higher echelons of Excessive-performing 2014 smartphones.

Battery with stamina

Battery life can get worryingly short while the use of big screened handsets and this topic is an ever developing subject amongst customers looking for the modern-day telephone offers. The Xperia’s battery does not lose it of such worries but it performs sufficiently properly for it to not be a problem. We ought to without problems get a complete day of moderate to High use which could be very just like its 3 opponents the S5, HTC One and Google Nexus 5.

To atone for the bigger five.2in display a larger 3200mAh battery (compared to the previous Z1’s 3000mAh battery) is geared up in addition to Sony’s nicely appeared Stamina era which increases battery lifestyles with the aid of powering down the information connection whilst the screen grows to become off.

At the same time as a match for its three smartphone competitors, it is nevertheless overwhelmed via the contemporary day smartphone battery champ, the LG G2 which, thanks to more capability (but a larger casing) will easily outlast all of these handsets. An LG G3 is due quickly so we can see if this improves the already amazing records of the G2.

Exquisite digital camera

With a 20.7MP Exmor RS sensor with a f/2.0 aperture that is one of the maximum amazing lenses yet seen in any mobile electronics device. Photographs are specified, punchy and nicely exposed and thanks to the High resolution may be without problems cropped at the same time as nevertheless preserving an acceptable decision. Autofocus is speedy and way of the 3 elements of the speedy processor, masses of RAM and an extensive aperture, taking Photographs is a brief and enjoyable task.

You also get loads of capabilities thrown into the deal including history defocus, guide controls (for EV, ISO, white stability and cognizance modes) plus an amazing automobile mode allowing short and smooth macro or night photographs – something that is often now not a function of a phone.

Capability consumers searching out a deal on the Z2 have to be aware that the camera lens is right within the top corner of the device and will consequently provide a problem with the blurry pics as a result of a stray parent over the lens.

Video can be shot in both 1080p and 4K resolutions and thanks to Sony’s SteadyShot stabilization generation pictures constantly seems clean and wobble free. One trouble that has emerged on early release handsets is that of overheating whilst capturing 4K footage. After a couple of minutes, the handset regularly receives too warm, flashes a warning and then stops shooting. This befell to our check handset with 4K capturing lasting round four mins before the issue passed off. Optimistically a destiny firmware update will restore this, even though it have to be noted that the Galaxy S5 handles 4K video without one of this trouble.
