Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse
This is my third Logitech MX Master mouse. I have the Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse, Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse, and now the Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse.
I bought the Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse from Lazada during its Online Tech Show. The recommended retail price of the mouse is S$169. After the 8% discount by Logitech and deducting Lazada’s S$12 voucher, HSBC S$20 voucher, I ended up paying just S$123.48. Shipping is free as I shipped it to a Ninja Point.
Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector
My computer is not switched on 24/7. Last Saturday, when I turn on my new computer, it causes my Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) to trip. This is the first time I encountered a trip in MCB. Typically, it is the Circuit Breaker inside my house that will be tripped.
Sadly, after that happened, I can no longer switch on my computer. I suspect my Power Supply Unit (PSU) is fried.
Peak Design Everyday Sling (5L)
Thanks to the Peak Design Facebook User Group, I came to know that B&H Photo Video had a 24-hour sale on 25th February 2020 for the Peak Design Everyday Sling (5L) at their Deal Zone section. Only the Black and Ash colors are available.
It was an open box deal, which means it is like new with an open box. When I received it, it looks brand new too me, and I can’t tell the difference.

My New Computer AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
I finally bought a new windows desktop computer after my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Desktop spoiled two years ago.
The age gap between them is 12 years. Between 2008 and 2020, a lot of things have changed for the better.
Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) Cable (0.8m)
The Razer Core X Chroma comes with a 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 cable. There is nothing wrong with the length, but the build quality of the cable is questionable.
I tested it with three MacBook Pros and all three experience frequent disconnections from the eGPU. It can be as frequent as once every 30 minutes. It is extremely irritating. Upon Googling, it seems to be a common problem.
