Anandtech: The Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 Review: The Ice Lake Cometh

It’s difficult to understate how important the XPS 13 is to Dell’s lineup, and to the industry as a whole. This is the device that reshaped the entire market with the advent of the InfinityEdge display back in 2015 which transformed the laptop landscape in an instant, rendering all other devices as dull and out of date. But other manufacturers are relentless, and Dell’s early design lead was never going to last forever. Other laptops have arguably caught, and even surpassed the XPS 13 over the last couple of generations. But Dell’s latest model of their flagship 13-inch laptop hopes to take the reins back.

The Guru of 3D: Intel Core i9 9900KS processor review

Intel has released its flagship desktop processor in the non-HEDT segment. The 9900KS is their most premium Coffee Lake-S eight-core processor that has been discussed so abundantly. This little beast has eight cores, sixteen threads and gets an all-core turbo bin that reaches 5.0 GHz. For many that is gaming nirvana whilst offering a balance of good performance and being a downright excellent gaming processor.

KitGuru: ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27in 165Hz Gaming Monitor Review

The TUF Gaming VG27AQ is both FreeSync and G-Sync compatible - just how good is it? Full HD might have been the sweet spot for a gaming monitor a few years ago, but things have moved on. Now, a lot of graphics cards can comfortably handle higher resolutions, and 2,560 x 1,440 has become a more sensible mainstream option. But you still want high refresh ability and adaptive sync. Enter the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ. This 27in screen offers a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution, 165Hz and FreeSync adaptive sync that is certified NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible.

MajorGeeks:  Oculus Rift S Review

Having already purchased an Oculus and Oculus Quest we felt it was time to take the new and improved Oculus Rift S out for a test drive. Unpackaging is ridiculously simple. Remove the headset and plug it into a USB port. Plug the HDMI cable into an available HDMI port on your video card. Next, put the two AA batteries in the controllers. You'll want extra AA batteries as well because some games wear them out quickly.

Anyone who's owned the Rift with sensors will appreciate no longer having to run the additional wires and using two more USB ports. Considering the Rift-S costs the same as the unit with sensors, we're excited about it, although we thought the sensors needed some work on the Oculus Quest. After a few hours of gaming, I am happy to report that the trackers in the headset that replaced the sensors work flawlessly.

The new Apex Pro keyboard from SteelSeries is quite unique in terms of the mechanical switch choice, which permit adjustment in just a couple of seconds. Depending on the usage type such as typing or gaming, you may need to set different actuation distances and you can also do this per key!

techPowerUp: V-Color PRISM II RGB DDR4-3600 MHz CL18 2x8 GB Review

Monberg.dk: SilverStone FS303 Hotswap Drivebay

SilverStone Technology does many different things. In addition to casings and power supplies, they actually make many storage and server solutions as well. In this review I am going to look at a drive enclosure designed for those who change disks frequently, or need a backup solution where you change the disks and store them offsite. Their FS303 is an elegant and good solution for this kind of storage.

The package you receive is a white box with a sleeve. There are photo-realistic images and features as well as specifications listed on the outside.

BigBruin: D-Link DCS-8600LH Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera Review

The D-Link DCS-8600LH Full HD Outdoor Wi-Fi camera comes with a fairly impressive list of features. It has the ability to do cloud recording or local recording to a microSD card. It is IP65 so you can mount it inside or out, so long as your temperatures are between -4 and 113 Fahrenheit. As with just about every camera it does have an IR source for night vision with a range of about 23 feet.
