Amazon Kindle Review

Amazon is the undisputed champion of the ereader market, and its cheapest Kindle model is one of the best-selling ebook readers on the planet. The 2016 model is the eighth generation of Amazon's entry-level Kindle. We gave the 2014 seventh-generation Kindle a positive review, and this latest version sees the design revised once more, and some new features added.The 2016 Kindle costs £59/US$79 (about AU$105) with adverts on the lock screen, or £69/US$99 (about AU$130) if you don't want to see any adverts.There are more exciting, bell and whistle-packed ereaders out there, such as Amazon's Kindle Oasis or Kindle Voyage; however, the basic Kindle has long been the go-to device if you're looking for a straightforward reading experience without spending much money.But is the original ereader still the best basic option out there? If you have the 2014 model, is it worth upgrading? And, given that you can still buy the 2014 Kindle for £10 or $10 less at the time of writing, is it worth shelling out the extra for a new look and some extra features?

Asus ROG Strix GL502 Review

In the race for the thinnest gaming laptop, we've seen plenty of contenders from the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro to the Razer Blade. The promise of a gaming notebook that's easier to take anywhere is tempting, however, greater portability has also made some of these machines feel underpowered with limited graphics options.The Asus ROG Strix GL502, on the other hand, strikes the perfect balance between portability and power. This 15.6-inch laptop might be less than an inch thick but it can be fully loaded with serious high-end graphics, including a Nvidia GTX 980M with 8GB of video memory. Beyond parts and measurement, this gaming laptop delivers on all fronts with style, snappy inputs and a colorful screen.DesignAsus has slowly been edging its way away from the done-to-death black and red color scheme found on most gaming laptops. Instead of crimson highlights, the GL502 has orange trim accenting its black paint job. It's not a grand departure like the titanium and copper design found on the Asus ROG GX700 and ROG G752, but it's a start. Though, we almost wish Asus would have stuck to the purely black and red motif, as the keyboard backlighting is still red.Aside from the new paint job, Asus has seriously upped the profile of this machine with a new look that's in line with the rest of its ROG series.

Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 240 AIO Cooler Review

There are many ways to increase the performance of your PC. Most enthusiasts will immediately gravitate to overclocking as an obvious performance boost but what about thermal performance?

Gigabyte RX 460 Windforce OC 2GB

Some of you may have missed it but Monday the RX 460 officially launched. There wasn’t as much of a fuss about it because the RX 470 was taking most of the attention, but the RX 460 is also Polaris based. It is the first card on the Polaris 11 architecture where the RX 470 and RX 480 are on the Polaris 10. AMD is marketing the RX 460 as their e-sports card where the RX 470 was an HD card and the RX 480 was VR. This might be a little confusing, but the general idea is the RX 460 can’t handle everything at 1080p, but it is designed to work well with the popular e-sports titles like Dota 2 and League of Legends. So today I'm going to take a look at the Gigabyte RX 460 that AMD and Gigabyte sent over and then put it through our normal benchmark suite and see how it performs. That will round off a full week of AMD coverage here on LanOC as well!

Hands-on review: AOC U2879VF

Medium-sized 4K monitors are finally becoming a bit more affordable, dipping below £300 (around $400, AU$520), a price point that makes them competitive, between 25-inches and 30-inches, with ultra-wide 21:9 monitors.The AOC U2879VF is the UK's cheapest 4K 28-inch monitor at the time of writing with a price of less than £270 (around $360, AU$470) at online retailers Box and CCL.At that price and given our past experience with first-generation 4K monitors of that size, we'd expect a few corners to be cut to bring the price down.The only real let-down is the fact that AOC opted for a TN panel rather than an IPS one, but that's understandable given the target price.Can it be inferred then that the overall performance will be subpar? Absolutely not. In fact, quite the opposite – AOC is the first vendor we know of that has shipped a 'colour uniformity data sheet' with a sub-£300/entry-level monitor.

Speedlink Ultor Review

Not a fan of Cherry mechanical key switches? Meet the Kaihua Kailh alternative. Speedlink likely isn't the first name that springs to mind when you're shopping for a mechanical gaming keyboard here in the UK, but the German outfit has become a well-known brand on the continent having sold over 15 million game controllers since the company was founded in 1998.

Hoping to broaden its appeal, Speedlink is introducing the Ultor mechanical gaming keyboard to British shores. Priced at £70 and employing Kaihua Kailh switches, Ultor offers something different to the numerous Cherry-based options on the market and we've spent the last couple of weeks getting acquainted.
