Corsair Voyager Air Wireless Mobile Drive Review @ Legit Reviews

Corsair's Voyager Air is the first wireless all-in-one mobile drive, home network attached storage, USB drive, and wireless hub. This gadget is supposed to provide easy access to media from network-enabled smart TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, DVRs, and streaming media boxes. Read on to see what we've found out about this drive!

Corsair's Voyager Air is a sleek wireless media sharing device that I feel nailed this concept down quite nicely. The product itself is quite stylish, while the software is fairly easy to use. Holding a 6200 mAh battery and having a rating of 7 hours of HD streaming, I found this number to be fairly accurate. I was pleased to see that Corsair included a car adapter, which will help ensure you don't run out of a charge while on the road. The other included accessories and pouch were also great...

Logitech UE BOOM Portable Speaker Review @ Techgage

I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not a true audiophile… which might make you wonder about why I’m the one that jumped at the opportunity to review Logitech’s latest consumer electronics gem, the UE Boom (I’m sorry, Logitech, I’m not typing BOOM in all caps – it’s annoying and I know way too much marketing to buy into it). UE stands for Ultimate Ears, a subsidiary brand of Logitech (since 2008)… but, for those uninitiated, don’t let that scare you off – think more Logitech Harmony and less Logitech $20 keyboard. We’re talking a brand name with some serious pedigree in wireless in-ear monitors for professional musicians since 1995, not some off-the-cuff noisemaker.

That being said, this is a $200 (sorry, $199.95 – more marketing fun!) wireless speaker that contains such buzzwords as “social” and “life resistant.” Seriously, I couldn’t make this up if I tried. And thus, my interest was piqued – a brand for professional musicians, making a product so clearly aimed towards “social” youth… can it be pulled off with finesse, or is it just an overpriced cash-out of a premier branding? I may not be a true audiophile, but I know my way around music well enough to hear a botched job. And when your branding is this much heavier than any of your published technical specs, I start to wonder what kind of lead is being sold as gold.

Crucial m500 480 GB SSD review @ Myce.com

Evolution continues for Crucial and their SSD products. The Crucial M500 is the SSD that is replacing the trusty old M4 SSD. As we can expect the M500 not only does everything that that the M4 did, it does much better, and adds more functions to improve not only the SSD but also the overall experience that the user gets.

Our regular users remember the review that Myce did in the past for the Crucial RealSSD C300, and later for the Crucial M4. Now it’s time to take closer look at the M500. As we expectedthe names inside are the same, Micron & Marvell, but the numbers have changed, and the M500 has the latest equipment that Micron and Marvell have to offer, so now only one question remains to be answered.

Kingston MobileLite Wireless Card Reader Review @ Bigbruin.com

A few years ago, having limited storage on your device was more of an Apple issue. But more and more Android phones are shipping with fixed memory, and as more devices eliminate the micro SD slots they also have made huge improvements in camera resolution. It has gotten to the point that many people don't bother carrying a separate camera or video camera, not only because they can shoot HD quality videos, but because they want access to their images, videos, and music all the time. Keeping all of this on hand requires a lot of storage and phone manufacturers use that to their advantage and often charge ridiculous upcharges for additional storage.

Kingston answered this need a few years ago when they introduced the WiDrive. While this was a fantastic device, it too suffered from limited storage. Kingston listened to feedback and developed the new MobileLite Wireless which builds on the strengths of the WiDrive but takes it one step further by providing a USB port and SD card slot for removable memory.

Zotac GeForce GTX 770 AMP! Edition @ Hexus

In the market for a GeForce GTX 770? Then you won't be left wanting in terms of choice. In a little over a week since launch, popular UK retailers have Nvidia's latest card in plentiful stock, and it comes in all shapes and sizes as the usual Nvidia partners put forth there custom-cooled variations.

Herein lies a dilemma of sorts. We're partial to Nvidia's reference cooler - it's quiet, it keeps the GPU suitably cool, and better yet, it exhausts a lot of the hot air out the rear of the chassis.

However, from what we can gather, the Titan-like cooler doesn't come cheap, and as a consequence most (if not all) partners have opted to use their own cooling solutions. We've seen Palit flaunt the triple-fan JetStream, and today we're taking a closer look at Zotac's GTX 770 AMP! Edition.

Roccat Isku FX gaming keyboard review @ Hardware.info

The Roccat Isku FX keyboard is an update of the Isku gaming keyboard. The only real change is that the backlight of the keyboard now can be in any of 16.8 million colors, as opposed to only blue. The new keyboard also works with Roccat Talk FX, which means you can use the lighting in a Philips Ambi-light kind of way.

For example, the game World of Tanks is able to communicate with the lights in the keyboard, and adjust it according to events taking place in the game. Not environments you're in, but things that are happening. The color can be green for when your vehicle is undamaged, orange when you take damage and it will flash red when you're destroyed. When you have an incoming message or loading a level, white light will flash. In the main menu it will be orange. We found it to be a cool addition to the gaming experience, but it in no way helps you play the game better.

Samsung LS24C750 review: affordable MVA monitor @ Hardware.info

If you want a higher-end quality monitor, especially in terms of colors and ergonomic features, you best look at business monitors. With the LS24C750, Samsung is bringing the best aspects of a office monitor to the consumer market, for a more reasonable price.

The LS24C750 was recently introduced and is available for an average of £224 or € 229. It's the first affordable monitor intended for the mainstream consumer that we've seen from Samsung. The second reason this monitor is special is that it's equipped with an MVA panel, while the majority of mainstream monitors still use TN, and IPS to a lesser extent. The screen outperforms basically any other monitor in this price class.

Reason enough to take a closer look at the LS24C750, in other words. This is not a monitor that will be great for shooters, as MVA isn't known for having fast response times. With overdrive enabled the performance will be fine, but where this screen will really shine is with color fidelity, contrast and viewing angles.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5 head-to-head review @ V3

Samsung and Apple have been wrestling for the top spot in the smartphone market for close to half a decade. It's traditionally been Apple that ultimately won the sales war, with every one of its iPhones being crowned the year's top handset.

However, with each clash Samsung has gained a little ground, with its previous Galaxy S3 handset getting close to matching sales of the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Because of this many analysts have speculated that the next battle between Samsung and Apple could decide each company's place and fortunes in the future smartphone arena. We take a look to see whether the Galaxy S4 can outdo the iPhone 5 in all the key areas.

Tt eSPORTS SHOCK Dynamite Orange Gaming Headset @ NikKTech

I don't know if it has something to do with the increasing number of professional gaming teams coming out around every corner (a trend i will probably never figure out) but so far inside the first 6 months of 2013 we've witnessed the introduction of more gaming headsets than we did during the entire 2012. Personally i enjoy using headphones while listening to music but they are not my primary choice/preference when watching a movie or playing games (I prefer my complete A/V surround sound systems for that) although i have to acknowledge that a good gaming headset can be of extreme use especially if you are not living alone and you don't want to disturb others while playing your favorite game title which is exactly why i have assigned one gaming headset for each of my gaming systems including my main Toshiba Qosmio laptop. Todays review is about one such product and more precisely the SHOCK Dynamite Orange Gaming Headset by our friends over at Tt eSPORTS.

BlackBerry Z10 @ LanOC Reviews

Blackberry has a special place in my heart; my first smartphone was the original BlackBerry Storm. The Storm was their first full touch screen phone and frankly it was also a very hard phone to love. Being my first smartphone I really wanted to love it, but dealing with lockups, limitations, battery pulls, and bad battery life was just life with the Storm. After experiencing Android I never went back to BlackBerry, until they introduced their Z10. For the first time it seemed like BlackBerry had listened, so I made sure to get one in and today finally I will tell you how it went.

Corsair Vengeance K70 mechanical keyboard Review @ Guru3D

We review the Corsair Vengeance K70 cherry red mechanical keyboard. The K70 is the successor of the popular K60 in terms of the overall basis and concept, but it adds some more features, is much more cool looking with full LED lit keys and has a trick or two encompassed in the new design as well.

Today's tested set of keys for example comes in black anodized aluminum, and it' just looks incredible. Though I'll immediately acknowledge that taste is a very subjective thing. Still have a look at what Corsair offers with the Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard brings a smile to my face, especially since it now kas full LED lit keys. So from an aesthetics view, Corsair just gets it.The K70 is intended to replace the K60 from Corsair and is a mechanical FPS gaming keyboard. it received some criticism on the K60, so t was changed for the K70, every key is now mechanical, using Cherry MX Red key-switches. So yes, the K70 is 100% mechanical. New is also per-key adjustable back-lighting, using red LEDs, so that you can customise which keys are lit, according to the game you’re playing. Corsair keeps the the contoured red WASD and 1-6 key-caps. Though we received the black anodised aluminium version, the standard brushed silver aluminium frame is available as well, though I definitely prefer black anodised aluminium.

Cooler Master NotePal U2 Plus Notebook Cooler Review @ HiTech Legion

The Cooler Master NotePal U2 Plus features two 80mm fans that can be moved around to focus on a laptop's hot spots. The NotePal U2 Plus uses a solid sandblasted aluminum base to help spread the heat from laptop components. Cooler Master set up the U2 Plus notebook cooler to be a multi-functional peripheral. It can be used as protection for a laptop while transporting, using the included strap, along with the additional cooling. Each of the 80mm fans pushes a steady 31 CFM of air and run at a quiet 21 dBA. The fans are powered by a single USB port and the connector includes a pass through, so you can still use the USB port.

Patriot Supersonic Magnum 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review @ OCC

So let's get down to brass tacks. Is the Patriot Supersonic Magnum worthy of its relatively high (in terms of dollars / gigabyte) cost? Honestly it really depends on how you're intending to use it. The Magnum could easily serve as a high-speed backup drive, a LAN-friendly drive that holds game ISOs, or a storage device for high-speed dumps of raw HD video footage. There's also the inherent shock and vibration resistance of Flash-based media that makes the Magnum far more rugged than any external HDD. If you need fast, reliable, and spacious storage on the go, this drive is certainly worth a few moments of your time to consider. After all, a few moments are all it needs to transfer your data anyway.
