TechPowerUp: Montech Fighter 400 Review

The Montech Fighter 400 pushes the envelope in price by being a glass-equipped ATX chassis for less than $50 retail. That in itself already sounds interesting if looking for a solid budget choice, but we take a closer look to see if the details of the chassis are up to the challenge as well.

Windows Central: Microsoft Surface Earbuds sound and feel great, but hurt the wallet

Microsoft's Surface Earbuds are coming six months later than expected with a $200 price tag. While they excel at being arguably the most comfortable earbuds around with the audio chops to compete against Samsung, Google, and Apple, there's not quite enough here to warrant that high price tag. As such, they will likely only appeal to hardcore Surface and Microsoft fans.

Mad Shrimps: Toshiba X300 8TB Desktop PC Hard Drive Review

During the test period, the drive has performed great and we could note the read/write speeds matching the N300 8TB, with the same amount of cache; the N300 10TB drive is performing better all-around, thanks to the higher density and doubled cache. Since we are talking about a 7200RPM drive, the operating noise is higher in both IDLE and seek operations versus the P300 series, but this becomes a non-issue when the drive functions inside a computer case.
