9 things you should know about shooting 4K video on the Lumia 950

I used the Lumia 950 to shoot some videos over the weekend while walking at the High Line in New York City. I didn't use any rigs, stabilizers, or tripods. Without any fancy editing, I combined the clips so you can check the video and audio quality for yourself. Take a look at the video and read some of the things I noticed while shooting 4K Keep in mind that the Lumia 950 XL has a similar camera.

Asustor AS3104T Review

Today we have the new affordable multimedia focused NAS from Asustor, the AS3104T. Designed for home users the AS3104T is a potential HTPC replacement and file server all in one little compact box. Powered by an Intel Braswell SoC, it isn’t light on power either and should give other budget offerings a real run for their money...

Just a few weeks ago we checked out Asustor’s latest 2-bay NAS designed specifically for power users and businesses, the AS6202T. Armed with the latest Intel Braswell quad-core N3150 processor and 4GB of RAM, performance was impressive. Unfortunately the AS6202T was let down by the astronomically high $560 price, making it the most expensive 2-bay NAS we had come across.

Fallout: New Vegas 5-Years Later Review

Is it worth visiting post-apocalyptic Vegas and the surrounding areas, or is it best left alone? In my opinion, it is a crap shoot. Seriously, I do not really have an opinion one way or the other here. New Vegas definitely has some flaws that are hard to ignore or forgive, but it also offers some fun and enjoyment that cannot be overlooked. I only feel comfortable failing to recommend it and letting you decide for yourself. The graphics are dated and there are a number of issues that really should have been fixed before release and patched away long before now. The story is large, but I found the direction lacking, making it too easy to miss parts of it. The gameplay has balance issues that so hurt the experience that I turned to god mode as a means to reliably progress. It is probably possible to survive without god mode (Editor's Note: It really isn't that hard of a game), but I have no interest in enduring the punishment that would involve for me. Other players may have a better time with it.

G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 RGB Keyboard Review

Memory manufacture G.SKILL has entered the keyboard market with a high-end RGB mechanical keyboard called the RIPJAWS KM780. There are some curious similarities to Corsair’s K70 and K95 keyboards most notably in the exposed metal backplate, use of Cherry switches, and that both companies are major players in the enthusiast memory market. At the same time, G.SKILL had a vastly different approach with its keyboard and we notice bits and pieces of the features from other mechanical keyboards being brought together with this one. We’re not sure if the KM780 keyboard is supposed to look like a RAM module with the heatspreader, but it does use the same RIPJAWS name from one of G.SKILL’s memory product lines.

It’s not unusual to see long lists of advertised features for high-end keyboards, but it would seem that G.SKILL has taken some popular features from other keyboards into the design of the KM780. The audio passthrough is most notably found on the Razer Blackwidow, the exposed anodized aluminum backplate is part of the signature appearance of Corsair’s Vengeance and now K family of keyboards, and the overall shape vaguely resembles the Logitech G710. The other features are fairly common such as the dedicated macro keys, profiles, media controls, and palm rest.

G.Skill Ripjaws SR910 real 7.1 gaming headset review

G.Skill impressed us when they sent over their new keyboard design recently and today we get to look at the latest release in the Ripjaws line: the SR910 “Real” 7.1 gaming headset. It is big. It is black and it does come packing a full 7.1 surround sound set up, which not many gaming headsets can boast. Indeed G.Skill is pretty keen for you to know that too. So much so in-fact that it has given the ear-cups clear casings, letting you see the multiple drivers within.

Intel Skylake DDR3 vs. DDR4 Performance Comparison

When leaks about Intel Skylake processors first started appearing about 9 months ago, those of us in the tech community were extremely surprised to hear that this new generation would feature an integrated memory controller (IMC) that would support not only DDR4 but the older DDR3 standard as well. There had never before been an Intel processor with a similar dual mode IMC. Once actually launched, Intel's official datasheets revealed that Skylake only supported 1.35V DDR3, also known as DDR3L, which makes sense since that was well within the voltage range of enthusiast DDR4 memory kits and thus would not put undue strain on the IMC.

Jelly Comb Dual Port Car Charger With Built-in 2800mAh Power Bank Review

Up for review today I’ve got another car charger but this one isn’t like other chargers as this one has a built-in 2800mAh battery that you can use in emergencies. You can just plug it in and let it charge but while it’s charging you can use one or both of the two USB ports to charge your devices while on the go. It’s certainly a neat product, I’ve never seen anything like it, one that can be useful for sure. Read on to learn more…

LG V10 Review: Big, Bold And Beautiful

As we head into the holiday shopping season, there are a number of really great smartphones on the market for buyers to consider. Among this group is LG’s latest flagship Android superphone, the V10. As the first phone in LG’s new V Series, the V10 has a number of unique features including dual displays, two front-facing cameras, a removable battery and a manual video mode. The V10 also features high-end hardware, as you’d expect from a top-end model, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 64 bit hexa-core processor, 5.7-inch QHD main display, 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM and even a secondary display.

The V10 has all of the high-end features you’d expect from a flagship phone. But specifications alone don’t provide the full picture.

Join us as we dive in to a full hands-on review to see if the V10 handles as good as its specs look on paper.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5

When it comes to the smart phone market, I think we can say that the Samsung Galaxy line launching a new phone makes waves similar to the new iPhone launches. They have a large portion of the Android market. I’ve been lucky enough to have the chance to test and review a good portion of their product line over the years with the most recent being S6. Well about 4 months after the S6 launched Samsung brought out their larger Note 5 and I have been testing it. Today I can finally sit down and talk a little about my experience as well as dig into the phones features and benchmark performance as well. So sit down, relax and let’s take a look at the Galaxy Note 5.

Sandberg Bluetooth Stereo Headset Pro Review

Christmas is perhaps the only holiday where people buy presents to each other and although at first this may sound as something simple when the time comes not many know what to get. True the market is filled with everything anyone could ever hope to use as a present on Christmas but at least for us men i think that things are quite easier (always compared to our other halves). For example most gamers will probably like a new console, PC monitor, gaming keyboard and/or mouse or a powerful graphics card while gadget lovers will probably like to receive a new watch, camera, TV screen, better smartphone and/or tablet, high capacity powerbank or new portable HDD. We also believe that wireless headsets can make a fine Christmas present and so today we're taking a look at one of the latest wireless headsets released by Sandberg the Bluetooth Stereo Headset Pro.

Sandberg stands for quality and user-friendliness. If it is important for you that accessories are high quality and easy to figure out how to use, then choose Sandberg. Our ideology "IT is for everybody" is part of everything we do. Since its inception in 1985, private consumers, institutions and companies have benefited from this simple philosophy. Distributors and dealers appreciate the availability, range, simple procedures and the exceptionally low failure rate. Every year over half a million Sandberg products find their way to users in more than 30 countries. Choosing Sandberg means choosing a safe and conscientious product that meets all applicable regulatory requirements. A product manufactured by subcontractors who are committed to following Sandberg's Code of Conduct to ensure decent working conditions and reduce the environmental impact of the production and waste disposal.

The Bluetooth Stereo Headset Pro is yet another wireless model that features Bluetooth v3.0 + EDR connectivity (supports NFC, A2DP, AVRCP, HFP and HSP) and follows the typical around the ear closed type design. Fortunately although most of the headset is made out of hard plastic (it does feature an aluminum frame but doesn't extend all the way to the earcups) and thus is nothing special in terms of build quality (like most in the market) Sandberg chose to pair two 50mm neodymium drivers that feature a 20Hz-20KHz frequency response with 100dB (+-2dB) sensitivity and 32 Ohm (+-15%) impedance with a Omni-directional microphone (30Hz-16KHz/-54dB) and a 380mAh lithium polymer rechargeable battery which can power the device for up to 10 continuous hours. So could this be the right present for Christmas? Let's find out.

SilverStone RAVEN RVZ02 Mini-ITX Case Review

The RAVEN line, SilverStone’s iconic and innovative line of gaming PC chassis, has become a staple in the gaming community for many years. Featuring unique designs, clean lines, and tough aluminum construction. RAVEN designers are expanding their approach to gaming in the SFF (Small Form Factor) market with the new RVZ02B-W. The -W stands for Window, as the regular RVZ02B only has black filters in place of clear vented windows. The RVZ02B-W is a Mini-ITX case that features a super slim design, and the ability to utilize full sized graphics cards.

SteelSeries Apex M800 Gaming Mechanical Keyboard Review

SteelSeries really succeeded to make a difference with the brand new mechanical switch design, which is capable of lower 1.5mm actuation, a 3mm throw and 45cN force (similar to Cherry MX switches). The central LEDs now allow a more uniform lighting of the keycap while the lettering/digits are made from semi-transparent plastic in order to allow LED light shine through. This is not all! We do also have a larger, re-designed Spacebar key for easy access, extra keys for programming, replaceable bottom feet, a dual-CPU configuration for allowing N-key rollover (up to 256 key presses at once, overkill) and dual USB 2.0 ports for connecting multiple low-powered devices.

The Huawei Mate S Review

Huawei has been a company which over the past few years has visibly increased its presence in western markets. The Chinese vendor has in particular executed a big push into European markets over the last year as devices have become increasingly available in the usual electronics shops. Following the high-key introduction of the Mate 7 last year, Huawei seems to have settled on a Samsung-like release cadence where we see the smaller P-series introduced in spring and the Mate phablet series in autumn.

This year Huawei launched the Mate S - not a direct sucessor to the Mate 7, but still clearly a device that continues the design language of the Mate lineup. First up, lets go over the specifications and see what the new hardware provides in terms of upgrades.

Zalman ZM-K700M Gaming Keyboard Review

Zalman has been around for quite a long time and we know them best for their legendary CPU coolers and cases. Over the past few years Zalman has not really put out that many products. This sort of took them off the radar for many people. Well today we have a product that will definitely put them back on the map for you and it is not a CPU cooler or a case, it is actually a keyboard. The keyboard is the ZM-K700M and it is a full mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX mechanical switches, great build quality and some of the most impressive backlighting we’ve seen on a keyboard before. Let’s take a look at the ZM-K700M and see if Zalman has a winner on their hands.
