Skyroam Solis: The jet-setting girl’s best friend

Make the world your office

I’m writing this at the Hamad International Airport in Doha. Work and life circumstances brought me here for a quick layover. And although this particular airport has great internet connectivity, I can’t say the same for, well, everywhere else in the world I travel to.

Unfortunately, we don’t live in a world where global unfettered and unrestricted internet exists so instead, I resort to bringing around this tiny thing.

This is the Skyroam Solis and for those of you who move around a whole lot, this thing will be your best friend. This nifty little device is a hotspot that works in 130-plus countries (which is a lot). I’ve used it in the US, Japan, and the Philippines with no hitch.

It’s also mindblowingly simple: Turn it on, connect to its Wi-Fi and you’re all set. You can subscribe to different data plans, Wi-Fi cards, or day passes depending on your use. To monitor usage, you just log on to the Skyroam app, easy peasy.

Basically, it’s reliable LTE internet anywhere I go. This means I don’t ever need to hunt for hotspots and I have the flexibility to work anywhere I go. I’ve typed away and filed stories and articles from a beach and let me tell you, there’s no going back to a desk for me. Actually, there’s no going back to a desk for me and four more people because the Solis can handle up to five connected devices so you can share the internet love.

Of course, there are still some areas where the Solis had spotty signal. But, that was when I was on a teeny boat in the middle of the ocean, hopping from remote island to the next so I’m pretty sure any device would have a problem, seeing as I didn’t even have service from a local provider.

An added bonus: The Skyroam Solis doubles as a power bank with 6000mAh or close to two smartphone charge cycles. Obviously, this also means that it will take a while of nonstop use for this thing to die. The Skyroam website says 16-plus hours of non-stop Wi-Fi battery life and although I’m always online, I’ve never really needed to be online continuously for that long.

If you’re ready to make the world your office, you can buy the Skyroam Solis for US$ 150 and add on an internet plan of your choice. If you’re not sure about committing to the Solis just yet, or for those who don’t travel as much, Skyroam also rents out the device at a more affordable cost. 🌎✈️

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
