Braven BRV-1 Bluetooth Speaker Review

Bluetooth speakers have become extremely popular over the past few years. They are pretty easy to take with you and provide hours of great music for you and your friends. Today we will be taking a look at Braven’s BRV-1 Bluetooth speaker which is made for the outdoors and should stand up against the elements. It is IPX7 certified waterproof meaning you don’t have to worry about rainfall or it getting splashed, it can even be fully submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes! Beyond that it has a rugged design so it can take a beating! The speaker will give you 12 hours of playtime and even has a USB port if you want to plug in your device to charge it. Let’s see if the BRV-1 can stand up to the elements!

Influence of ASIC Quality on Max Boost Clock - EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Reference

Testing more than ten identical GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards at the same time isn’t something that’s trivial to arrange for a review site like ocaholic. The likelihood that this number of high-end pixel accelerators is going to fall off a lorry and that this coincides with us being at the same place at the right time, is very close to zero. This means that waiting for us winning the lottery is not getting the job done and we had to find another way to solve the supply issue in order to analyze the connection between ASIC quality in the case of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards.

MINIX NGC-1 Intel Braswell-Based Silent, SFF Mini PC Review

MINIX has been producing ultra-small form factor systems and accessories for a few years now, featuring ARM and Intel-based technology. The latest device to come from the company, the NGC-1 we will be showing you here, is one of MINIX’s more powerful devices – relatively speaking – which packs an Intel’s Braswell-based Celeron processor. Braswell is the follow-up to Intel’s BayTrail SoC, that’s manufactured on Intel’s tri-gate 14nm process. Like BayTrail, Braswell is a low-power architecture, designed for entry level 2-in-1 devices, laptops, and small form factor system.

Along with the Braswell-based Celeron N3150 inside the system, the MINIX NGC-1 also features 4GB of RAM, a 128GB M.2 SSD, and a 64-Bit edition of Windows 10. The device's form factor, while still small, also affords more connectors and IO that something as small as the Compute Stick...

MSI Gaming 24 6QE AIO System Review

You can look at the MSI Gaming 24 6QE All-in-One in a number of different ways and the most obvious (and laziest) is to compare it with Apple iMac. This misses the point because iMac comes in 21.5-inch and 27-inch sizes and places the emphasis on a svelte design where two of the three models sport a high resolution Retina display. The closest match is the 21.5-inch non-Retina iMac which uses Intel Iris Pro graphics and which has soldered RAM and cannot be upgraded. By contrast the MSI Gaming 24 6QE packs a GTX 960M graphics chip and has spare slots for a second M.2 SSD and a second DDR4 RAM module so the two All-in-Ones are actually quite different. You may have spotted the 6QE suffix to the model name which is significant as it refers to the 6th Gen Skylake processor and associated hardware.

NZXT Manta Mini ITX chassis Review

We review the NZXT Manta Mini ITX chassis. A compact chassis with curved looks, a hint of LED lighting and refined features with the ability to hide your components inside this small form-factor chassis. Yes, it'll house a mere 17x17cm Mini ITX motherboard, but how unique of a PC case is this eh?

NZXT has been around for years, building an ongoing reputation with mostly their controversial chassis designs. It all really started with the Guardian chassis years ago and they have put numerous chassis designs out on the market ever since. We have a changing enthusiast PC landscape with features like back-plate cut-outs, many water cooling options and digital fan controllers. But these days the small form factor PC has become trendy and popular. This chassis is intended to be used for Mini ITX usage, yet it can still house many components including a fully fledged graphics card.

Mini ITX has grown and become a very popular format, you can build a really tiny chassis yet include very high-end components creating a beast of a PC or gaming rig. We've been explaining for a long time now that there are plenty of Mini ITX motherboards out there supporting the latest Core i7 processors and exquisite memory configurations. All that combined with a proper dedicated graphics card of course. Some chassis can house a full sized graphics card, others require a compatible small form factor card. The Manta takes your biggest graphics card easily. Looks do matter and the Manta utilizes a new fab process to create curved steel panels that offer rounded elegance and strength for its design. Other features are rear I/O LED lighting, integrated PWM fan hub, SSD display and a PSU shroud. The case includes three fans with front intakes protected by easy-to-clean, removable dust filters. On the backside of the motherboard tray location you may house storage units (vertically positioned) which can hold two HDDs (3.5") and three SSDs (2.5"). With new curved ventilation panels, accent LED lighting and an integrated PWM fan hub the chassis is impressive to look at. The chassis is available as we speak in four color designs; there are window side panel versions in black, black with red accents and white with black accents as well as an all black unit with closed side panels. All are priced at the €139 marker.

OCZ Trion 150 480GB Review

Today we have the Trion 150 on hand, the latest consumer SSD to come out of the Toshiba acquired OCZ brand. Armed with Toshiba’s latest 15nm TLC NAND flash memory the Trion 150 is designed to deliver exceptional performance at an unbeatable price, so does it deliver?...

Roughly 6 months ago OCZ released a value-orientated SSD series called Trion 100. The new series made use of parent company Toshiba’s premium TLC NAND flash. Upon release pricing wasn’t very competitive as the Trion 100 drives were priced well above the Samsung SSD 850 Evo and Crucial BX100 competing drives.

OCZ did quickly address the pricing issue, but even today the Trion 100 series comes at a slightly higher cost per gigabyte than Samsung’s TLC series. Even with the improved pricing the Trion 100 series is still significantly slower and based on what we have read online has a very questionable reliability track record.

OCZ Trion 150 SSD Review: The newest budget TLC SSD from OCZ

The OCZ Trion 150 SSD is meant to replace the floundering Trion 100 SSD as a slightly cheaper revision that should improve performance and hopefully reliability as well. By moving away from Toshiba's A19nm TLC NAND in favor of its newer 15nm TLC NAND, OCZ claims users will see up to a 50% increase in performance in many real world cases such as file transfers.

QPAU Virtual Reality 3D Glasses Google Cardboard DIY Kit Review

VR or Virtual Reality is big and Google Cardboard is leading the way as it’s very inexpensive and this low price let’s everyone get in on the fun surely. Yes I have a more expensive Samsung Gear VR t hat I like as well, but Google Cardboard has it’s place and you need a good set of them. Today for review I’ve got a set of Google Cardboard glasses from a company called QPAU and these are different in that they don’t have a magnetic button or switch they actually have a touch sensitive button on them and they even come with a soft head strap and they can be folded back up for portability. All in all these are the nicest set of Google Cardboard glasses that I’ve bought or reviewed so far. Read on to learn more..

Raidmax Hyperion Case Review: Different but Familiar

The Hyperion is in many ways a departure from what is typically expected from a RAIDMAX chassis. While many companies now try to cater to the gaming crowd, RAIDMAX who has almost exclusively been catering to the gamer market for years with perennial cases such as the Smilodon has taken a different route and expanded their offering with a conservative … Read more.

Zalman ZM-K700M Review

Today we take a look at another product from Zalman after we were recently impressed by the Z-Machines M600R mouse. This time we have a mechanical keyboard aimed at gamers, sporting Cherry MX Red switches, full NKRO and white LED backlighting. As with the CM Quick Fire XTi the Zalman ZM-K700M is also software free, meaning there is no need for users to download and install additional software to their system. Some may prefer this type of product for ease of setup, ensuring users have peace of mind that their product will work out the box with any system. The downside to this is the trade-off with customisation, macros and effects. We saw CM address some of these trade-offs and it would appear that Zalman have created a solution of their own to provide gamers a fully featured gaming keyboard without the need for additional software.
