ThinkComputers: KiiBOOM Phantom 81 V2 Mechanical Keyboard Review
The KiiBOOM Phantom 81 V2 is a 75% mechanical keyboard that features not only a clear acrylic casing, but also see-through keycaps. That combined with the RGB lighting makes for one of the best-looking keyboards we've seen in a while. Under the hood is a gasket-mount design with an polycarbonate plate, plate-mounted stabilizers, KiiBOOM's own Crystal Switches which are pre-lubed, and of course a hot-swappable design. Let's see what this keyboard is all about!

APH Networks: Netac NV7000-Q 1TB Review
As time goes forward, I think there is a general impression that technology will advance due to further research and development to find improvements and optimization. This is definitely seen in basically any consumer electronics, from video game consoles to vehicles and everything in between. The result can be an increase in performance, reduction in power usage, reduction in cost, or some combination of advancements. Our Netac NV7000-Q seems to be bringing these sorts of upgrades in its solid state drive with the use of quad-level cell NAND flash memory. In the past, we have seen other QLC-based drives, like the Crucial P3 Plus, which perform generally well in optimal conditions and looks great in benchmarks, but can fall down the performance ladder in everyday tasks. The primary draw for using QLC is its price, as these NAND flash chips are cheaper to manufacture and produce, but it also provides a greater capacity density. On the other hand, the major negative tends to be a reduced write endurance over its life, overall poorer performance, and being potentially more error-prone compared to TLC drives. When I read the Netac NV7000-Q's specifications with a relatively high write endurance for its capacity and boasting top speeds that match its brother, the Netac NV7000-t, I had to check this SSD out. How does the NV7000-Q compare in our set of tests, and will it show off the advancement of quad-level cell flash? Let us read on to find out!

eTeknix: Philips Screeneo UL5 Smart Projector Review
I get a lot of cool products to review here at eTeknix, but this is the first time I've had a premium projector in for testing.
