Acer Announces new Swift brand of Ultrathin Notebooks with Kaby Lake SoCs

As we reported on the Kaby Lake launch last week as Intel’s newest generation of processors focusing on thin and light notebooks as well as convertables, tablets and mini-PCs, a number of Acer’s announcements today at IFA 2016 revolve around the new hardware. Today they are announcing a new line of ultrathin notebooks, called Swift. There will be four models, the Swift 1, Swift 3, Swift 5 and Swift 7, with the higher number representing the more premium product.

Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 Case Review

That is the Cooler Master motto used to describe the new MasterCase and Maker series of products that have been aggressively targeting the “maker” crowds. These are the types of people who have been known to create a thing or two and can be anyone from casemodders and hardware enthusiasts to painters and musicians. All of these people can benefit from a custom PC and shouldn’t be afraid to build it themselves.

In this review I’ll be looking at the MasterCase Pro 3 from Cooler Master. This is a downsized version of the popular MasterCase 5 and shares all of the same great features found in that series including overall appearance and the versatile FreeForm Modular System.

Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 Case Review

Cooler Master’s MasterCase 5 was one of the my favorite cases that I reviewed last year. I awarded it a perfect 10 out of 10 score and our Editor’s Choice Award. I liked the case so much that I made it a the base case that we use for CPU cooler reviews. Cooler Master has really reinvented themselves with their MasterCase Series of cases and today they are launching the MasterCase Pro 3 case. This case is very much like the MasterCase Pro 5, but smaller only supporting MicroATX motherboards. The case still will feature that solid design we know the MasterCase Series for, the FreeForm modular system which makes relocating parts and upgrading easy, removable radiator brackets, SSD mounts, and much more. Let’s take a look at what Cooler Master’s latest case has to offer.

Crucial MX300 SSD Review (1050GB) – Micron 3D NAND Meets RAID 0

Whether it be on cars or computers, enthusiasts are always looking for ways to improve performance, ways to just one up their friends, or even just ways to spend money on their hobby when they have nothing else to do with it. Who doesn't like having the best of the best at times? We know we sure love it. But, sometimes, the best of the best can be pricey or just doesn't make sense for your application.

For most PC enthusiasts, PCIe SSDs are the way to go, however, it isn't always the case. Yes, they offer multi-GB/s read speeds and over 1GB/s write speeds more often than not, but they are more expensive than a SATA RAID array for the capacity you get and can have cooling issues that cause thermal throttling if you don't have enough airflow in your case. Not only that, but what happens when you already have a PCIe SSD installed and you want another fast volume to transfer to and from? You need to get another PCIe SSD or if that isn't an option, you can simply build a RAID 0 array out of SATA SSDs. That is why today we are going to look at a storage configuration any enthusiast would like to have and could fit into almost any build, two SATA SSDs in RAID 0. For this, we decided to reach out to Crucial in light of their recent announcement.

Last month Crucial announced (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=4483c2d267&e=1230c2ab07) that they have expanded the available capacities MX300 SSDs and are now offering a M.2 form factor. While the 750GB capacity we first reviewed was odd enough, the new capacities are even stranger. Due to the new 384G-bit TLC 3D NAND, the MX300 line up is now offered in 275GB, 525GB, 750GB, 1050GB, and 2TB options. From this announcement, the 2TB option intrigued us the most, however, they are still unavailable, so we opted to get two 1050GB models for today's review. With very competitive prices and slightly higher capacities than the competition, how will these new MX300 SSDs perform and how viable would they be in RAID 0? Read on to find out.

Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 Review

In our experience, 2-in-1 laptops tend to spend most of the time in one configuration or the other. The convertible aspect is diminished when the computer is primarily used as a laptop. The updated Dell 2-in-1 Inspiron, however, does such a fine job as both laptop and tablet, we found myself switching between modes all the time. Still, we used the Inspiron 13-7000 series more often as a laptop, but its size and weight make the tablet mode a joy with leisurely applications. In some ways, it's like a mullet: business up front, party in the rear, but without all the negative connotations of the world's worst haircut.DesignLike its competitors, the Lenovo Yoga 900 and the Asus ZenBook Flip UX360, the Inspiron is clad in an eye-catching metal shell.

EVGA GTX 1070 FTW reviewed

The Geforce GTX 1070 is consumer graphics cards which belongs to the new Geforce Pascal generation. While it is the less powerful sibling of the GTX 1080, we think the GTX 1070 is the card for gaming at 1044p. It is just the right card to experience a new class of performance enhanced and VR gaming. When Nvidia unveiled the GTX 1080 earlier this year, it claimed that the GTX 1080 would outperform the GTX Titan X (Maxwell). Now we know the GTX 1070 can do the same thing.
Nvidia has introduced its reference GTX 1070 “Founders Edition”, and its partners are good to go with custom designs. EVGA is one of Nvidia's oldest and most experienced partners and knows how to gain user attention. This time EVGA has two custom coolers for the GTX 1070. The first is based on the new Active Cooling Xtreme (ACX) 3.0 cooler generation, and the second is a hybrid, all in one cooling solution with a maintenance free, self-contained water cooler.

Intel Kaby Lake Revealed: Higher Perf Per Watt, Enhanced Media Engine

Intel is readying a new family of processors based on its next-gen Kaby Lake microarchitecture. We’ve heard quite a bit about Kaby Lake over the last few months, and were even able to show you it in action last week while covering IDF, but today we’ve got many more details to share on the microarchitecture that will be foundation of Intel’s upcoming 7th Generation Core processors.

If you’re unfamiliar with Kaby Lake, it is the follow-up product to last year’s Skylake. Kaby Lake borrows heavily from Skylake; its CPU cores, cache structure, and graphics engine are similar, and Kaby Lake is still manufactured using a 14nm process. There have been a number of enhancement made to Kaby Lake, however, that not only improve overall performance and efficiency, but enhance its multimedia capabilities and responsiveness as well...

PowerColor Red Devil RX 480 8GB Review

Past history has shown that PowerColor's Devil series cards are pretty capable performers in their segment. For this generation, we see that the apple has not fallen far from the tree when you look at what kind of performance you get in the target resolutions for the RX 480. At 1920 x 1080, you get a card in the PowerColor Red Devil RX 480 8GB that can play pretty much any game out with excellent FPS results. At 2560 x 1440, the Red Devil RX 480 8GB is still going to deliver an engaging gaming experience, should you choose to play at that resolution. 4K gaming performance is going to be a stretch any way you go about it without stretching the budget to include a second card. If you are looking at gaming at a 4K resolution, you most likely are not shopping the sub $300 GPU market anyhow. Gaming performance compares most with the previous generation R9 390 and flirts with the performance delivered by the GTX 1060, mostly in the DX12-based games.Past history has shown that PowerColor's Devil series cards are pretty capable performers in their segment.
