Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Fujifilm Finepix T190/T200 Camera

Earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Fujifilm announced what it claims to be the world's thinnest 10x optical zoom compact camera. It's unusual for a thin compact camera to have such a high optical zoom, so we decided to take a look.

AMD A6-3650 APU/Processor Review
TechwareLabs posted a review on the AMD A6-3650 APU/Processor

As you might know, AMD has managed to remain the leader in graphic chipsets, but Intel still holds both the mobile and hybrid computing markets. This is where the Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) comes in to play for it is a combination of CPU and GPU all rolled into one. It is AMDs response to Intels SandyBridge and referred to as Llano. The AMD A6-3650 is the budget-friendly little brother to the AMD A8-3850 we did a review on last month.

Patriot Pyro 120GB SandForce SF-2281 SSD Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Patriot Pyro 120GB SandForce SF-2281 SSD

Patriot has ramped up their SSD product lines with their WildFire and Pyro lines that each sport the SandForce SF-2281 controllers. We haven't had a chance to get our hands on the Wildfire but the Pyro has arrived for our evaluation. Specifications of 550MB/s max reads and 515MB/s max writes for the Pyro seem to put it right in line with its competitors but will that hold true across the full spectrum of benchmarks?

"Patriot hasn't been as active in the SSD realm as some other companies, focusing instead on their memory products and USB flash media. Recently they released their Wildfire line of SSDs and they follow that up with another flame related theme in the Pyro line. Each features the popular SandForce SF-2281 controller and a SATA III interface but differ in the NAND flash employed. The Pyro line is the more value oriented drive as opposed to the Wildfire line which sports slightly better max performance specifications in terms of MB/s and IOPS...

Nikon Coolpix P300 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Nikon Coolpix P300 camera

The Nikon Coolpix P300 is a 12-megapixel digital camera that offers a very wide-aperture lens for its class and also gives users control with both manual aperture and shutter controls. It has really good low-light image quality, but it lacks manual focus and RAW shooting, which may disappoint some users.â

MSI Z68A GD80 G3 PCIe Gen 3.0 Motherboard Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the MSI Z68A GD80 G3 PCIe Gen 3.0 motherboard

A little while ago we tested the MSI Z68A-GD80 (B3) motherboard, a product with an absolutely gorgeous design. Merely weeks later another SKU based of this model has been released, the MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3).

The G3 hints to something we have been hearing about for a while now, yes this is the debut of a PCI Express 3.0 compatible motherboard. A sincerely cool looking motherboard that is equipped with the latest gadgets, features and obviously that Z68 chipset.

MSI Radeon HD 6670 1GB Overclocked Video Card Review
TweakTown posted MSI Radeon HD 6670 1GB Overclocked Video Card Review

The HD 6670 is a bit of a funny model for us. Normally it's the kind of model we'd look at once when it launches and then not pay too much attention to it since our launch coverage would cover pretty much all you need to know about it."

A little later on, we saw Sapphire release a version under the Ultimate tag which meant it was silent. More interesting, though, was the launch of the Llano platform which brought with it the ability to CrossFire the model with the onboard APU. It was probably the introduction of this which made us all of a sudden start to pay more attention to the HD 6670 again.

Zowie G-TF Speed Review
OCC has published a review on the Zowie G-TF Speed

The somewhat funky-smelling rubbery back side provides a glue-like substance to really stick to your desk. Even when picking up the edge or corner of the pad you cannot slide this thing across your desk like any other pad. You can't even forcibly move the pad without picking up at least half the pad which means it isn't going anywhere once you have it where you want it. I found this a very great property in fast moving games that require a lot of mouse movement.

Western Digital WD Elements SE 1 TB USB 2.0 HDD Review
Reviewstash posted a review on the Western Digital WD Elements SE 1 TB USB 2.0 HDD

Western Digital, a company that has producing hard drives since the late 1980s, certainly has a well-established reputation for the quality and reliability of their hard drives. And, before they manufactured hard drives, Western Digital's specialty was disk controllers, going back as far as the 1970s. With such a powerful amassing of engineering technology and expertise at their disposal, a completely in-house, ultra-portable, high-capacity external hard drive is not an unexpected product. Today, we are going to be taking a look at the product that should exactly meet those three descriptors - the WDBABV0010BBK. Hopefully, the drive's performance is able to match, or exceed, the slick cosmetic appeal of the Elements SE.

MEGATechNews checks out a new charge base for those Xbox 360 S owners out there

I use a lot of batteries. I have batteries for my smartphone. I have batteries for my camera. And indeed, I have tons of batteries for my video game controllers. Up until now, I’ve largely been using rechargable AA NiMHs for most of my gaming controllers, but the Nyko Charge Base S could prove to change at least part of that picture.
