GOOGLE STADIA IS IT ANY GOOD?

Google recently announced what they think is the future of gaming called Stadia. It is cloud-based gaming, and until a few days ago we didn't know much about it. But what we know was that we would we able to play games at any screen as long as they have Google Chrome is installed. In a recent video, Google told a minimum a 35Mbps of WiFi speed is required for streaming at 4K Resolution, 60Fps, and 5.1 surround sound. The game can also be streamed at 1080p at 20Mbps and 720p at 10Mbps.

Google did publish a video revealing the price for the subscription and the games that would be available at the platform supposedly on launch.

Before talking about the games lets talk about the different subscription. There are two subscription Stadia Pro ($9.99), Stadia Base (Free) and there is also a Stadia Founders Pack which has a Stadia controller in night blue color, a chromecast ultra, 3 months subscription of stadia pro, Destiny 2 (including all DLC's), the first few people who get to choose the stadia name, and a buddy pass to give to a friend who could then use stadia. 

In the first presentation by Google when they announced Stadia we all thought that it would be like Netflix where you pay once a month and you get access to all the games. But, when Google announced the prices and gave more details we looked at the bigger picture and Stadia is nothing like Netflix. You pay a monthly fee with Stadia Pro i.e. $9.99 you get access to a few games for free, but not all games you have to buy games separately at their original market price. The stadia base is free where you could buy games directly from stadia and then you can play them whenever you want, but we don't get any free games with the Stadia base. 

 For me, the offer is good enough just for the fact that you can play games anywhere you want as long as you have a good WiFi connection and Google Chrome. But the data used is a lot like if you stream 4K 60fps for 65 hours a total of 1 terabyte of data, for 1080p it would be 9GB per hour and at 720p it would be 4.5GB per hour, potentially use 1Tb of data in 114Hours for 1080p and 280hrs for 720p.

 There are still a lot of things to think/learn about Stadia. But the early access is coming in November for those who have purchased Stadia Founders Pack and those who get the buddy pass.

 Thank You

M1 MACBOOK AIR VS M1 MACBOOK PRO. WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

  Apple recently announced their new M1 chips for their Mac's as a first step in ditching Intel for their in-house silicon.  Both the MacBooks run on Apple's M1 chip making them very similar to each other. The M1 chip has also introduced big gains in performance as well as battery life on these machines which has become a huge step forward in the Apple Mac ecosystem, making it a very difficult choice to choose between the two. Both the Macbooks even though have the same chipset come with the same base price as their intel models i.e. $999 for the Macbook Air and $1299 for the Macbook Pro. Moreover, they even have the exact same specifications when it comes to the RAM, Storage, Ports. Lets get straight into the blog and I hope by the end of this blog it would be easier for you to decide which M1 Macbook to buy. PERFORMANCE Both the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro run on the Apple M1 system-on-a-chip, which features an 8-core CPU and a 16 Core Neural Engine. The only difference betwe

ASSASSINS CREED ORIGINS REVIEW!!!

Assassin's Creed Origins, the latest of the Assassin's Creed game series released on October 27, 2017. In a short context I can confess that I am absolutely in love with this game, a new concept from the older games, new game mechanics design, etc, so in short, pretty much I can say its amazing but with a few flaws. In the latest installment of the series, you explore the origins of the series of the Assassin's Creed, how it all began. You play as a new character named Bayek and his wife Aya who were the progenitors of the Creed. You play in the lands of Egypt where you explore its many major areas and its famous city of Memphis. This game also includes famous characters from real history like Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. In the usual modern day aspect this time you actually control a new modern day character named Layla Hassan who is an Abstergo employee who is the one exploring the life of the progenitor's of the Assassins. In the long elaboration, what I

MACBOOK AIR VS MACBOOK PRO (2020). WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU BUY?

Apple recently announced its new MacBook Pro which has 2 varients i.e. 2 Thunderbolt and 4 Thunderbolt Model. This comparison is mainly between the Quad-Core MacBook Air and the base model MacBook Pro which is for $1299 and comes with the 8th Generation processor. This does not make much sense, but Apple being Apple still did it as it might satisfy the needs of those people who occasionally edit content, but mostly search the web or consume content for which the MacBook Air lacks a few things. DESIGN: The build quality of each and every MacBook that Apple makes is exceptional no matter the price, Apple provides a full rigid aluminum chassis with absolutely no flex neither on the screen nor on the keyboard deck.  There are only a few minor differences between the two when compared to design i.e. the MacBook Air is lighter than the MacBook Pro, Air has a wedge-shaped design whereas the MacBook Pro does not. Both the laptops have the new Magic Keyboard with the scissor-switch mechanism an
