Alcatel OneTouch Watch Review

From a distance it seems the sea of smartwatches boils down to two choices: the Apple Watch and Android Wear watches. There are others, though. The Alcatel OneTouch Watch attempts to cover most of the smartwatch basics using bespoke software, not everyman choice Android Wear. This means it's cheaper than most other models while also being smaller than some and lasting longer off a charge. Pick the right discussion points and it can sound like the Alcatel OneTouch Watch has hit on a golden formula. But it hasn't, not quite. With limited apps and a system all but guaranteed to be a dead end, it has little-no-none of the promise offered by Android Wear devices.

Azio MGK1 Mechanical Keyboard and EXO1 Mouse Review

Azio may not be quite as well known as some established industry heavyweights, but they've taken a slightly more niche approach, focusing on gaming peripherals. Today we're looking at the EXO1 mouse and MGK1 mechanical keyboard, two affordable devices with matching gunmetal finish and white illumination which speak volumes for their sleek aesthetics.

CableMod ModFlex Cables Review

For some while now CableMod has been happy to provide a kit of cables for your modular power supply. They cover specific models of BeQuiet!, Corsair, EVGA and SeaSonic at a cost about £70 with the idea is that you bin your dull black cables for a braided set in black, white, red, orange or green. Alternatively you can choose a funky combination such as black and orange or black and green.

Element Gaming Beryllium Review

Element Gaming have hit the market with a stable of good value peripherals and as we were impressed with a selection of their headsets such as the Neon 250 and the Xenon 700, so we were happy to get the chance to look at their mechanical keyboard. In keeping to the 'element' theme, the keyboard gets named after the rare metal 'Beryllium'.

Featuring linear red mechanical switches by Kailh which are individually backlit, the Beryllium keyboard falls into the entry level warzone amongst the cheapest illuminated mechanical keyboards available. Many will be happy with the easy plug and play setup, as well as make the most of features such as the 'Windows lock' function and full N-Key Roll Over (NKRO).

GIGABYTE X99 SLI Review, Excellence On A Budget!

GIGABYTE has released an entire pack of motherboards based on the Intel X99 chipset: Champion, Gaming, and Super Overclock. And now GIGABYTE has released the X99-SLI board. From the first glance, the board looks to be chock full of enthusiast-level hardware, with lots to offer most end users. To field the board with all that high-end hardware at $250 (NewEgg) , they had to make a few compromises, but based on price/performance, there’s a good bang for the buck factor on the GIGABYTE GA-X99-SLI. Reality being what it is, we are seeing a lot of high-end motherboard features on a $250 board, but there might be a few after-purchase costs. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth aren’t included on the board, but a special M.2. slot for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are provided for by a W2-Wi-Fi slot. The combo cards we’ve seen are in the 35-40 dollar range, so if you want internal Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, that may set you back a few bucks.

We don’t consider not including some of the fancier options as bad, as it does place a lot of enthusiast level hardware in a price bracket that is less painful for a lot of consumers. Looking at what you do get, there’s ALC 1150 audio with fine gold capacitors, Intel LAN and up to Quad SLI (with the right CPU), and 8 RAM slots supporting OCs up to 3333 MHz via Intel XMP support.

Important to us, GIGABYTE squeezed in their Genuine All Digital Power Design with IR Digital PWM & IR PowIRstage ICs which is the MOSFET setup you see on competitor’s high-end, high-priced boards. The Digital PWM & PowlRstage MOSFETs, given adequate cooling, have proven to be excellent overclocking hardware and can be found on boards ranging from $300 to $600. It’s a first for us to see that “geek candy” on a $250 board, so job well done Gigabyte.

Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB SSD Review

Seven to eight years ago enthusiasts, professionals and hardcore gamers who decided to trust a brand new and revolutionary storage technology called solid state drives only had products from a handful of manufacturers to choose from including Intel, Micron, SanDisk, Kingston, OCZ and Corsair. Of course by then SSD technology had been in the works and evolving for much longer (over a decade actually) but it wasn't until 2007 that it made its first "shy" steps in the consumer market and thus was available to the masses at quite reasonable prices. Today there are literally hundreds of SSD manufacturers (most are OEM ones) around but it's always preferable to pick a model by one of the first ones to jump in the SSD wagon and since Kingston just released the latest addition in their HyperX line called the Savage we decided to take a look and see how it does.

Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition Review

A solid handset that's short on compatible apps. The latest Ubuntu smartphone shows the OS has mobile potential, especially when combined with good hardware. Still, a meagre choice of apps make Android and iOS better choices for consumers and businesses alike.

Micron M510DC SSD Review (480GB) Review

Just as in the consumer market is starting to flood with many lower cost value based SSDs, we are starting to see more and more low cost read-centric SSDs in the enterprise market. These SSDs are targeted towards Web 2.0 and cloud storage use case scenarios and are typically much cheaper than mission critical storage options due to lower performance and write endurance. Compared to HDD deployments, however, these SSDs are much faster and more power efficient. They help to remove bottlenecks and speed up response times in content delivery and VDIs as well as lower total cost of ownership.

Netatmo Welcome Home Camera With Facial Recognition Review

We see all kinds of cool gadgets pass through the eTeknix office, but the Netatmo Welcome is something I’ve been really looking forward to testing. We first saw the product demoed at CES 2015, but in a busy trade show environment, it can be tricky to get a really good look at a product. The Welcome is a relatively simple device, it acts as a home security camera, but with a twist. Most of you will be familiar with the kind of security cameras that you fit to the wall, as full on surveillance equipment, the welcome is a much more casual device that than.

Pop the welcome in your house, it detects when someone comes home, sends a message your smartphone via a custom app, tells you who is home, be that your kids, your partner, or an unknown face.

PowerColor Devil HDX PCIe Sound Card Review

Setup as a stand alone solution, the Devil HDX gets to play in the best of both worlds with 124dB rated performance from the parent card and the option of running 7.1 sound through the addition of the daughter card. Here is my only beef with the Devil HDX. I know these are options that add cost, but when cultivating a brand it would just add to the package. I would have liked to see the ribbon cables sleeved to get out of the early days when ribbon cable were the bane of a good looking high end build. The same goes for the daughter card. Shrouding the components with a shroud seen on the parent card would just complete the look of the package, much like PowerColor did on the Devil 13.

Synology DiskStation DS715 2-Bay Value NAS Review

It has been a while since I had the pleasure to review a Synology NAS which makes it even more of a pleasure to take the brand new Synology DiskStation DS715 2-bay NAS for a spin. And while it does look ordinary on the first glance, I can tell you it isn’t.

The DS715 is an expandable NAS server, equipped with a powerful quad-core processor with hardware encryption engine and the ability to expand up to 7 drives thanks to the optional expansion unit. You can’t just expand it with extra bays, you can also connect it with Synology’s High Availability (SHA) technology that combines active and passive servers into one cluster.

The DS715 looks to be a perfect balance between performance, features, and value – so let us take a closer look at it.

Xotic PC Executioner Stage 4 Gaming PC Review

When Xotic PC asked us to be judge and jury of its Executioner gaming system, we thought to ourselves, "this better be one helluva setup to warrant its killer moniker," and spoiler alert, it is. We'll get to the benchmarks and other particulars in due time, but there's more to this $6,500 PC than raw performance alone.

Yes, we said $6,500, which is the rounded up cost of the version Xotic PC sent us. When shopping an Executioner, you begin by picking one of four baseline setups dubbed Stages 1-4. Ours is a Stage 4 configuration that starts at just shy of $5,100...
