The New MacBook Pro vs. Surface Book 2 – Comparing Price and Performance

People who are planning to purchase a laptop need to make the tough decision of picking between Apple and Microsoft. These two tech giants rule the laptop industry and it’s nearly impossible to determine which one offers better devices. However, today we are going to take a closer look at the performance and price that the new MacBook Pro offers and compare it against Microsoft’s latest Surface Book 2 in order to give readers an idea of which laptop suits their needs better.

The New MacBook Pro

Just like you would expect from an Apple-made product, the new MacBook Pro is quite expensive. The laptop sports the same price as last year, thus featuring a price tag of $2,399 for the 15-inches model. This is the starting price and it offers a 2.2GHz hexa-core Intel Core i7 processor which can be upgraded to the more powerful 2.9GHz hexa-core Intel Core i9 processor.

Both processors are from Intel’s latest Coffee Lake eight generation lineup and they are paired with 16GB of DDR4 RAM which can be expanded up to 32GB. Moreover, the laptop ships with 256GB of SSD storage space which goes up to 4TB.

Surface Book 2

Surprisingly, Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 is a little bit more expensive than the new MacBook Pro because it sells for $2,499. People who choose to purchase this laptop will receive a much slower 1.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (8th generation Kaby Lake) which is bundled with a Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics that features 6GB of GDDR5 video memory. Moreover, the laptop ships with 16GB DDR3 of RAM and 256GB of SSD which goes up to 1TB.

Final Words

From the looks of it, Apple clearly has the upper hand with the more powerful and cheaper laptop. Microsoft needs to step up its game if it wishes to keep competing against Apple’s lineup of MacBook Pro devices.

Final Fantasy 15 DLC – New Content in 2019

Fans of Final Fantasy 15 you have gotten some stuff to look forward to without taking into consideration the recent release of the game’s Windows and Royal editions. Square Enix has recently revealed more details on upcoming DLCs, and we can trust it as it published and developed the game. The downloadable content is set to be released in 2019.

Below you can see some expectations for the future updates:

Here is what you can anticipate

An Episode Ardyn is currently being developed for 2018 and fans can’t wait. This DLC episode is known as The Conflict of the Sage, and it will explore Ardyn’s story. You will learn more about his history with the line of Lucis, and you will be introduced to his character life.

Beyond Episode Ardyn’s availability, Square Enix revealed during PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) that more DLC episodes are being worked on. For example, The Beginning of the End or Aranea which is going to be a not so great side story.

Episode Lunafreya comes next in line it will be called The Choice of Freedom consisting into an introduction in Lunafreya’s life as an Oracle and her efforts in being a comrade for Noctis in his mission. Frequent players thought to consider that it will merely be utilized as a plot device in the main story of the game.

In addition to this, we can also expect The Final Strike, an Episode Noctis which will make the players see the game through Noctis’s eyes,

Taking this information into account, it is still to be seen how director Hajime Tabata will handle the ending of Final Fantasy 15.

Availability of the new DLCs

The DLC episodes mentioned above do not have an actual release date, but a target window was announced for 2019.

The Sims 4: Seasons New Revenge is Coming

The trailer for The Sims 4 new expansion, called Seasons just made its appearance. The game is set to show how sims get through the four seasons. You can build a snowman or throw snowballs, or jump in a pile full of raked leaves. This is the most wanted expansion for Sims, and we can see the reason why: at some point it gets boring to have the same surroundings, having some diversity didn’t hurt anyone. It’s awesome to see how things change from one season to another.

Did we mention that you can actually fight in this game?

This expansion gives the traditional holidays, like Christmas and Easter and Valentine’s Day. You can choose to celebrate these. Or you can choose to fight around your neighborhood. Nothing will stop you now, not even the fact that you’re beating your family. You can fight pretty much everyone you find.

Here’s how you do it: you walk around the streets, and you look for someone to fight with. If you see that a door’s unlocked, you get it and you start fighting with whoever you find out there, in the house.  Neighborhood Brawl just happens. You won’t be able to prepare for it. It will randomly show on your calendar and it’s like The Purge all over again.

If you’ve been playing this game for a while now, you know that sims are innocents, they don’t fight back. Ever. You put them in a pool, then remove the ladder? Your sims die, without a doubt. However, since the developers removed that and allowed them to get out of the pool, it doesn’t seem like so much fun. However, players found new ways to kill their sims, by removing the doors and liting things on fire.

Let’s face it; everyone will do it, even if it’s not nice. This game will transform the pretty welcoming neighbors in a gang of attackers. It’s going to be so much fun!

Why The New PS5 Might Be Release in 2020?

It is generally speculated that the PS5 will be released in 2020 and there are rumors which enforce all these assumptions. Even though PS4 is still thriving, users are searching for more innovative experiences, and the video game industry does not fail to deliver it. A PlayStation launch is as much feasible as promising according to the fast growth of technology.

Will The PS5 Be Released In 2020?

Rumors have said that PS5 could be released in 2018, but we are in the middle of it, and we have heard nothing of a next-generation console. Some people are still hoping for 2019 to be the year of PS5’s launch, and it is kind of convincing but what about 2020?

Keep in mind the gaps between the PS4 and Xbox One including their predecessors. If you remember, we needed to wait seven years for PS4 to be released after PS3 and even eight years for Xbox one to be released after Xbox 360. Taking this into consideration, 2020 seems like an accurate year for the launch of PS5 because it marks seven years since its predecessor came out to the public.

PS5 vs. PS4

No matter how much we would enjoy having PS5 released in 2020, PS4 still keeps its place in the market so such a conjecture might come hard to accept. However, we still have PS4 Pro which’s shelf life is more extensive and it gives a refresher to PS4’s hardware. That being said, rumors will keep spreading, we will still enjoy our PS4 or PS4 Pro and wait for more information.

At the moment of speaking, even though there are both critics and fans of PS4,  it still is a successful console.

Stay tuned for more information.
