I am very excited about RazerCon 2021! There are going to be lots of cool and fun announcements! I hope we hear more about the “concept” laptop that slides down two additional screens to turn into a super 3 monitor setup. We may be a few more years away from this, but damn, that would be so cool and futuristic! If Intel is sponsoring the event, I hope we hear more about ARC (GPU), but I hope we still get new AMD options. It would be fun also if Razer did a Samsung Odyssey style super big monitor. Also, please announce that Steam and other gaming app are compatible with Windows 11, so we have better peace of mind before we upgrade. I want to upgrade, but not if all my apps stop working. Super excited that FL Studio will make a presentation! Love some inspiration!

While everybody is excited about the new Apple products, here is something that we must remember. Apple pushed all of us to use a bunch of adaptors for USB-C, and 5 years later, they’re essentially selling us a 2008 laptop. It’s nice that it has HDMI and SD card slot but still no regular USB ports, you’ll still need an adaptor for those. These new laptops sound incredibly amazing, but still out of reach for the average user. Tim Cook has a chance to redeem himself by doing the following: releasing a new Mac Mini with M1 Pro & M1 Max. He can definitely make it affordable because it won’t have a screen and it’s not a laptop. A new Mac Mini (available in the rainbow colors of the new iMac) would sell like hotcakes. Please make it happen. If you want me to dip my toes into Logic Pro again, please release a new Mac Mini ASAP. Don’t make us wait many more months. Need I remind you that there are huge Microsoft announcements on the horizon including #RazerCon2021. I can either go for a Mac Mini soon, or start working on a “Starship Enterprise”-looking monitors setup. Thanks for listening.

Until Next Time!
