Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air

 Mac, Review, Windows     No comments   



The first thing that come to your mind after seeing the design and the name you'll notice that is NOT inspired by the MacBook Air. (I'm Joking) 

Xiaomi really take on a MacBook Air this time with their new Mi Notebook Air. It's slimmer than the MacBook Air with all metal unibody design. I really like how it has logoless exterior design and in my opinion this is one of the best looking laptop I've ever seen. The keyboard and the track pad color is also match to body and it's also remind me of the Surface Book.

12.5”
13.3”

This 13.3" model will out perform the MacBook Air especially in the graphic department as it got the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX so that's mean you can play some game on it.

How to Install Chrome Extension on Opera

 Troubleshooting     No comments   


Opera is another good alternative browser because it's a feature-rich browser with good battery saver and free VPN but when a chrome user switch to Opera, the first thing they notice is that Opera is lack of extension compare to chrome. If you believe in nothing is impossible you just came to the right article because I will show you how to do it.





First you need to download this extension from Opera



After you install the extension you can visit the chrome webstore and you will see + ADD TO OPERA button and from there you can get the extension from that button


After you added the extension to Opera it's not install yet because of the unknown source but you can install it by go to "opera://extensions" or simply just press "CTRL + SHIFT + E" and install the chrome extension we just added there.


Done. If you have any question you can ask me in the comment section!
