BioShock Infinite (PC) Review @ KitGuru

BioShock was remarkable when it was released on the PC, and my memories of playing the game will remain with me forever. It exhibited such wonderful stylised graphics and charming story line that it was difficult not to fall in love with it. The second game was also entertaining, but sadly it didn't grab my attention in quite the same way.

Dell Latitude 10 Windows 8 Pro Tablet Review @ HotHardware

Are business oriented tablets such as the Dell Latitude 10 better suited for the workplace than popular mainstream tablets such as the iPad? Dell believes their solutions are. Last month, Dell issued a press release in which it claimed its Latitude 10 Enhanced Security tablet is "up to 17 times faster and 94 percent less expensive to deploy than iPads in large scale enterprise implementations." Those are bold claims with very specific figures to back them up.

Regardless of how you feel about Apple, Dell, or another manufacturer's products, one thing is certain: the use of tablets for business purposes is gaining significant traction. Recognizing that different users have different needs, Dell is attempting to cater to a variety of usage models with its Latitude 10 tablet. This tablet is designed to provide the convenience and mobility of a tablet, along with the productivity capabilities a full PC offers. Since the Latitude 10 runs a full version of Windows 8 Pro, you can run all of your business applications on the system as well. For users who want the desktop-like experience, Dell also offers an optional productivity dock along with a number of other optional accessories for the Latitude 10.

Another key feature of the Latitude 10 is the fact that it features a removable battery—something you don't see very often in a tablet. Dell offers the battery in two sizes giving you added flexibility for power that will last throughout the day. According to Dell, you can get up to 10 hours of battery life using the tablet under various conditions.

Zalman MS800 Mid Tower Case Review @ ThinkComputers.org

When you hear the name Zalman you immediately think of their CPU coolers. They have been creating great CPU coolers for quite sometime now.

HighPoint RocketStor 5322 eSATA 6Gb/s Drive Dock Review @ Custom PC Review

Over the past couple of years, hard drive docks have become increasingly common in the marketplace because of their versatility and ease of use, especially for those working in IT departments where it’s simply not efficient to have to deal with opening and closing computer cases simply to add and remove hard drives. A couple months back, we reviewed the Ineo I-NA321U+ USB 3.0 drive dock, which is a fantastic drive dock; however, those who need to take full advantage of the performance from an SSD will find that current implementations of USB 3.0 simply aren’t able to meet the level of performance SSDs currently offer. Fortunately for those who might benefit from SSD performance, there are external interfaces such as Thunderbolt or eSATA 6Gb/s that are capable of meeting the challenge.

Today we’ll be reviewing the HighPoint RocketStor 5322 eSATA drive dock. This is HighPoint’s latest 2 bay drive dock which not only features eSATA 6Gb/s, but it has two eSATA 6Gb/s controllers onboard. This allows each individual bay on the RocketStor 5322 the capability of up to a 6Gb/s theoretical transfer rate. Because of this, the dock is fully capable of simultaneous transfer of up to 12Gb/s, which may be especially beneficial for those looking to run the setup in a RAID configuration.

Ready to find out how well the RocketStor 5322 performs? Flip the page and let’s take a look!

ASUS P9X79 PRO Motherboard Review @ Techgage

Although Intel’s X79 platform was released-to-market about a year-and-a-half ago, it remains the go-to choice for builders who need the beefiest PC possible. We’re talking the most capable processors, the craziest GPU configurations, the fastest memory, the most storage, and the richest connectivity options. It’s for this reason that few X79 boards have sold for under $200, and it’s also the driving-force behind a board like ASUS’ P9X79 PRO.

ASUS is obviously no stranger to the motherboard scene. It’s been crafting what I feel are the most competitive boards out there for quite some time, from both a features and design stand-point.

OCZ Vertex 3.20 120GB @ PureOverclock

We’ve seen solid state drives become very popular over the last couple of years, as prices have continued to drop and consumers are taking notice of the impressive overall system boost that SSDs can offer. And we’ve looked at many SandForce 2281-based drives in particular, and have come away impressed.

Antec Mobile Products iso Headphones & gain Headphone Amp Review @ Hi Tech Legion

So, say you have your new phone, equipped with beats audio and your favorite headset on your commute. You are listening contentedly….when a call comes in. Well, now you have to disconnect the headset to take (or place) a call. Obviously a Bluetooth headset is going to be far more functional, but you are going to want something that is going to be as comfortable, and sound as good, as your favorite headset. Or, maybe you simply want to use that favorite headset wirelessly. It may seem like asking to have your cake and eat it, too. Antec’s newest division, Antec Mobile Products (or a.m.p., for short) has decided to make both of these scenarios not only possible, but absolutely sensible with their new iso Headset and gain Bluetooth Headset Amp.

AZiO Large Print Tri-Color Backlight Keyboard Review @ OCC

So I've finally reached the bottom of the box of AZiO goodies today, ending the spree of fun with perhaps my favorite find in the bunch: the AZiO KB505U – Large Print Tri-Color Backlit Keyboard. It isn't an item you are used to finding here for an OCC review, but it is defiantly something different. Chuckling at the oversized print on the keys and the simple blue and red LEDs used to make purple, I was actually pretty excited to use this item. Despite its novelty gift category I place it in, I can see it having quite the practical form in two situations: 1) For my mom/dad who both see poorly and have failed to learn to touch type, and 2) teaching a toddler to type. The latter option keeps their grimy fingers off your keys as well. Coming in at just under the $30 mark, this keyboard has lots of potential for many different reasons, joke or not.

Roccat Savu Hybrid Gaming Mouse @ MEGATech

When I first grabbed a hold of the ROCCAT Savu Mid-Size Hybrid Gaming Mouse and gently laid my thumb inside of that groove, it felt like a religious experience. Ergonomically-designed stuff has never really felt right to me, which can only mean that I am a physically deformed monster who should probably live in a castle somewhere. The Savu gets me. I don’t drape my fingers over the mouse like some seem to, opting inside for a more “claw-like” grip, but when I locked into that thing, I felt like one with the Force.
