NikKTech: Creative Sound Blaster Z SE High-Performance PCI-E Gaming & Entertainment DAC Review

It may have taken Creative just over 8 years but the new and updated Sound Blaster Z SE is here and today I’ll be putting it through my usual tests to see just how well it performs compared to other PCI-E sound cards also currently available in the market.

KitGuru: Cyberpower Ultra 9 XT (5900X/6800XT) Review

Since it’s almost impossible to get your hands on sought-after computer components, your best bet may be to buy from a PC builder and get yourself a prebuilt system. Today we’re checking out Cyberpower’s Ultra 9 XT system boasting a Ryzen 9 5900X, Radeon RX 6800XT, 32GB 3600MHz RAM and more. Coming in at £2795, including a 5-year warranty, is it worth your hard earned cash?

Neowin: Honor MagicBook Pro (Intel) review: It has advantages, but it's an odd release

Honor has released an Intel-powered variant of the MagicBook Pro, featuring Comet Lake processors and a dedicated Nvidia GPU. It's better for gaming, but the timing means it doesn't make much sense.

KitGuru: PC Specialist Sentinel Review w/ AMD Threadripper Pro

PC Specialist’s Sentinel workstation packs a 32-core AMD Threadripper Pro with 128GB of 8-channel ECC DDR4 memory on a monumental Asus motherboard with an XFX RX 6800 XT graphics card. Those components cost a total of £5,000 at retail prices so we are looking at one of the most extreme computers we have ever reviewed at KitGuru… and you can be sure that our expectations are going to be sky high.

KitGuru: AMD RX 6700 XT Review

Heralded as the ultimate GPU for 1440p gaming, today we are putting AMD’s RX 6700 XT through its paces. As the fourth RDNA 2-based GPU to hit the market, the RX 6700 XT is also the cheapest with an MSRP of £419.99/$479, putting it head to head with Nvidia’s RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards. Let’s see how AMD’s Navi 22 silicon can compare to its Ampere-based rivals.

DVHARDWARE: Logitech ERGO K860 Wireless Review

Logitech's ERGO K860 Wireless Split Keyboard launched just over a year ago in select markets. Recently the product's availability got expanded to more countries -- it should now be easier to get in Europe. Personally, I rarely feel discomfort after using a keyboard for a full day and I'm behind a computer almost every workday (plus extra hours in my spare time). I've always wondered what it would be like typing on an ergonomic keyboard and whether it's easy to get used to the ergonomic layout of the keys. As such, I was interested in giving the ERGO K860 Wireless a try.

KitGuru: Razer Huntsman V2 Analog Optical Gaming Keyboard Review

Razer has launched its brand-new Huntsman V2 Analog keyboard, with PBT keycaps, a wrist rest complete with a RGB lightbar, and of course optical switches that can even bind different actions to different actuation points. It comes in at a monster £249.99, but is it worth it?

KitGuru: Elgato Light Strip Review – £60 for this?!

Elgato is known for releasing excellent gear aimed at live streamers and content creators. Now they’ve gone one step further, or even maybe one step too far? That’s because the company is now offering their own RGB LED light strips, coming in at a seriously high asking price of £60 for a single, non-diffused, 2m LED strip. Today we’re going to put Elgato’s premium strip against two ‘Amazon Choice’ RGB LED strips that are much cheaper alternatives to see if the Light Strip really is worth such a high price tag.

Legit Reviews: Patriot Supersonic Rage Pro USB Flash Drive Review

We don't often review USB Flash Drives here at Legit Reviews, but we are making an exception for Patriot and the new Rage Pro USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive. The Supersonic series goes back at least a decade and there have been some pretty memorable models in the series over the years.
