Anandtech: ASUS PN50 mini-PC Review: A Zen 2 Business NUC

Ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF) machines have been one of the major drivers in the resurgence of the PC market. The trend was kickstarted by Intels NUCs in the early 2010s. These PCs have usually relied on low-power processors with compelling performance per watt metrics. AMD was largely absent in this market till the introduction of the Ryzen processors. While ASRock Industrial was one of the first to release a UCFF mini-PC based on the first-generation Ryzen embedded processors, multiple OEMs have lined up to utilize the second-generation AMD processors in their own high-performance mini-PC lineups. Today, we are looking at the performance and value proposition of the ASUS PN50 - a high-end UCFF system based on the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U SoC.

MMORPG.com: Acer AOPEN 43XV1C P 43-inch Widescreen Monitor Review

Bradford has longed for an ultrawide PC monitor for some time now, not only to improve his gaming, but also workflow. So when Acer gave us the opportunity to take their new AOPEN 43XV1C P 43" 32:9 ultrawide for a spin, we had to jump at the chance. But is it worth it, and does the new aspect ratio improve both gaming and work experience?

9to5Mac: Apple’s updated MagSafe wallet is visually identical but hides wonderful new features

I loved the original MagSafe wallet that Apple introduced last year alongside the iPhone 12, but it was missing something obvious: Find My compatibility. Something like a wallet, especially one that sticks to the back of a phone you slide in and out of a pocket, needs some sort of fail safe in case it.

With its unique layout and compact shape, you should have no issues placing the chassis on your desk the same as you would much smaller cases out there.
