The Asus Vivobook Pro 14X OLED is one of the laptops you may be considering if you are a creative professional who needs a powerful yet portable laptop. This is not the most powerful laptop for creators from Asus as that title is held by the Asus ProArt StudioBook which is a bit more expensive than this.  The Vivobook series from Asus is generally more affordable than the ProArt models and does compete with the likes of the M1 MacBooks. The Vivobook Pro 14X OLED that I am reviewing is available in Kenya for Ksh 175,748 and you can get…

OPPO has released the latest monthly security patch for the Reno 7.

The OPPO Reno 7 was launched in Kenya not so long ago and is available in stores for around Ksh 43,000. This phone was recently joined by the OPPO Find X5 in kenya which is available for Ksh 100,000. The update is not that big at 179MB in size and should not take long to download. You can check if you…

Yesterday, Telkom Kenya introduced yet another offering dubbed Changa Bundle. With this, Telkom subscribers are able to share data, minutes, voice and SMSs with other subscribers. Think of ‘Sambaza’ by Safaricom. “The discerning customer is keen to pool resources wherever possible.

Telkom, guided by our belief that Mobile Data is a fundamental human right, proceeded to create a bundle that speaks to the mind of the Kenyan consumer; giving them the ability to acquire…

At the Tecno Camon 19 series launch event yesterday, Tecno also unveiled yet another smartphone series, the Tecno Spark 9. This is slightly cheaper than the Camon 19 series and will be available in Kenya starting from Ksh 15,599. Just like the Camon 19 series, the Spark 9 series will be available in three variants, the Spark 9, Spark 9 Pro and the Spark 9T. This series builds on its predecessor, the Spark 8, which we reviewed late last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utRPSyj-Y4w The Spark 9 series is also about the camera as this seems to be Tecno’s main focus with its…

Tecno Mobile has officially launched the Camon 19 series in the Kenyan market. The new phone will be available in three variants, the standard Camon 19, the Camon 19 Pro and the Camon 19 Pro 5G. The Camon 19 series looks and feel different from its predecessor, the Camon 18.  I love the new design language Tecno is going with. We get a flat back with two camera lenses at the back. Tecno is also focusing so much on the cameras and having used the Camon 19 Pro for a few days, I have to say I have been impressed…

Tecno is set to unveil the Camon 19 series in Kenya next week. The phone is currently available on pre-order across the country. The interesting this is that Tecno has not revealed how much this phone will retail for when available to purchase, you just have to pay a deposit and hope the price will be within your budget. The good news is we now have a good idea as to how much the phone will be available for. The phone has been listed on Masoko for Ksh 24,499. This is the price of the standard Tecno Camon 19 and…

Those who pre-order the Find X5 get a free wireless charging stand that they can use to charge the This is the second device in the Find X series to launch in Kenya with the other one being the OPPO Find X from a few years back. OPPO has never really focused on this series in Kenya but it looks like there is a change in…

The Infinix Note 12 VIP was recently unveiled in Kenya as one of the three devices in the Note 12 series. The Note 12 VIP is the most expensive of the three and you can get one for Ksh 41,999. This price is quite high considering the fact that the standard Note 12 is available for around Ksh 28,000. The biggest question most people will be asking is, is the extra money to get the Note 12 VIP worth it considering that the two devices have so many similarities. I have been using the Note 12 VIP for a few…

If you use Uber regularly, prepare to pay more for your trips in the next two weeks. The company has confirmed that it will be adjusting its prices upwards to factor in the recent fuel hikes. This was revealed by the company’s head of East Africa, Imran Manji. According to the Business Daily, the company is trying to find the perfect balance to stay competitive and still factor in the rising cost of living. This is to ensure its services are still attractive to riders and at the same time ensure drivers can cover their costs. This is much easier…
