Few months after the announcement of the Kata i4 dubbed as "Fastest Kata Ever", I've had a chance to do a quick demo of the said solid looking device at their concept store at Robinsons Pioneer. I did not waste my opportunity as I was able to take some photos of it, benchmark it and gather some thoughts for this quick review and hands on impressions.
