This past Halloween, my friends and I have started a new yearly tradition. This tradition is watching the Twilight Saga. It was my first time watching, and being oblivious to the story as a whole, did not know what to expect. I had no clue what the book was about aside from it being about vampires and werewolves, since I was a literal child when the book came out. I will be perfectly honest and say, it was one of the best movie watching experiences I have had in a while. For those of you who do not know me, I have a guilty pleasure when it comes to watching terrible shows and movies. I love it. The scripting of Twilight was so nonsensical that it was beyond humorous. My favorite moment was when Edward sparkled in the sun for some reason, and Bella was like, “You are beautiful”. Firstly, why is a vampire sparkling in the sun instead of being harmed? Secondly, who calls a sparkling man beautiful? The scene goes on, with Edward proceeding to tell Bella he has killed people and is resisting the urge to kill her, and she still loves him. Note this is literally a week or two of them knowing each other. What makes this worse is that later in the saga, she is not fine with the fact that werewolves murder when she is fine with the fact that vampires do. Overall, it was a great movie, and I would watch it again next year. On the other hand, do you know what is actually just good and merits liking? The Epomaker Galaxy68. Will the Epomaker Galaxy68 give me as much enjoyment as the Twilight Saga, but in a good way? Keep reading to find out!
Our review unit of the Epomaker Galaxy68 came in a tightly wrapped plastic that covered with many layers of bubble wrap underneath. The box was shipped to us here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada from Shenzhen, China via YunExpress. The shipping process was decent with a very minor impact on the retail box. I was not worried about the condition of the product itself, as there was no noticeable damage.
The Epomaker Galaxy68’s box design is aesthetically pleasing, using a black, white, and a starry purple and blue exterior. The front displays the Galaxy68 on the right side of the box, having Epomaker branding on the top left. The name and a brief description of the keyboard can be found underneath the logo, giving a good depiction of what you will receive. The top side mentions some notable features. This is a straightforward design that offers very minimal information. Personally, I do not mind this, as I appreciate the lack of clutter and simplicity.
