Logitech N600 Touch Lapdesk Review
Everything USB posted a review on Logitech N600 Touch Lapdesk

On February 1st 2009, Razer introduced the original Mamba gaming mouse and it took the PC gaming world by storm. The amazing success of that mouse was thanks in no small part to its wired and wireless abilities; however, its sensor, software suite and overall ergonomics are what made it a perennial favorite for many hard core gamers. Recently, Razer upgraded the Mamba with their latest 4G sensor technology. Today, I'm going to find out how good this new Mamba 4G gaming mouse stands up against some of today's cutting edge gaming mice.

Verdict:
With great ergonomics, decent weight to battery life ratio, dual wireless/wired abilities and other great features; the all new and improved Razer Mamba 4G is everything the original was and then some. The new 4G sensor really is a master piece of engineering and it alone makes the new Mamba a true successor to the original.

The Good:
+ Touchpad slides in for storage and safety
+ Secure rubberized surface
+ Lightweight
+ Part of Logitech's Unifying technology so only one receiver needed for up to 6 Logitech devices
+ No software need be installed
+ Multi-touch capable touchpad
+ Batteries included
+ Up to 6 months of battery life

The Bad:
- Base is a tad slippery
- Top rubber is a dust magnet
- Touchpad should be bigger than 5"
- Pull out tray does exhibit a lot of flex

Sapphire Pure Platinum Z68 Review
PureOverclock published a review of the Sapphire Pure Platinum Z68 motherboard.

The premium motherboard market is dominated by a handful of established companies, and Sapphire isn't one that really comes to mind when discussing new products. However, Sapphire has produced AMD motherboards, and is coming along on the Intel side, as the Platinum Z68 is their latest foray into the market. Sporting sleek styling and good features, this motherboard certainly looks the part. But it's in for a very tough fight against some established companies. Can the Pure Platinum Z68 measure up?

PC Stats posted a quick Sandy Bridge vs. AMD Fusion APU integrated graphics comparison

PCSTATS quickly compares Intel's HD 3000 IGP graphics core against six different integrated graphics solutions, including AMD's powerful new socket FM1 APU-based Radeon HD 6550D. 3DMark pretty much says it all; the Intel Z68 platform offers up a much needed boost to Intel IGP graphics. The HD 3000  IGP-CPU is still relatively weak compared to AMD's newest socket FM1 A8-3850 APU, but what's really surprising how far behind the Intel G45 platform falls!

Kingston HyperX SSD 240GB & 120GB SSD Storage Review
HardOCP posted a review on the Kingston HyperX SSD 240GB & 120GB SSD Storage

Kingston's move into the SandForce SSD market is great news for the consumer. With its new HyperX branded solid state drives in hand, we take a look at these amazingly fast SSDs and examine if an SSD from Kingston should be on your short list for your next storage purchase.

Kingston Technology has offered solid state drive products for several years now. The company started off strong with an Intel X-25 series drive that equaled the highest levels of performance available at the time. Since then Kingston has focused on mainstream products based on controllers from JMicron and Toshiba. These products featured low read access times but fell short on sequential transfer performance and write IOPS when compared to leading enthusiast products shipping from other manufacturers.

Mainstream SSDs have a place in the market but should cost less than "flagship" SSDs. Unfortunately this was a problem with many of Kingston’s solid state drive offerings; the performance was mainstream but the price wasn’t.
