Antec High Current Gamer Bronze 750W Power Supply Review

The Antec High Current Gamer Bronze 750W is a well-built fully modular power supply comprised of quality internal components inside a good looking enclosure.

In my opinion, one of the biggest downfalls to any organization is complacency. To be complacent means you are happy with where you are at and not venturing into any new grounds; to insist on doing things the way it has always been done because it worked in the past. A prime example of this was Sears. Sears was actually one of the first companies to venture into online shopping, and in June 2000, a press release boasted their website sold appliances, home electronics, computers, cookware, office equipment, baby products, and toys. If that sounds exactly like Amazon to you today, the actual Amazon at the time was still a small unknown company selling books. Fast forward eighteen years later, Sears is bankrupt and Amazon is one of the most valuable companies in the world. Whether it is a lack of foresight or complacency that killed Sears, Wharton School marketing professor Barbara Kahn best puts it: "Sears came along with its great service and low-prices, other retailers started to innovate more with products and service. Sears and Kmart simply trudged along and thought that was good enough." A little over four years ago, my colleague Kenneth Kwok reviewed the Antec High Current Gamer M 750W power supply. The High Current Gamer M 750W was a decent 80 Plus Bronze certified power supply built by Seasonic. Fast forward to today, we have one of Antec's latest offerings, the High Current Gamer Bronze 750W. Wait, has anything changed in the last few years? Did Antec become complacent in the same way Sears did by simply trudging along thinking that was good enough, or is there something we do not know about? Read on to find out!

Asus ProArt PA32UC-K Review

The new Asus PA32UC-K has an average price of 2013 pounds / 2300 euros. This 32 inch 4K monitor has this hefty price tag for a reason; it is one of the first monitors on the market with finely meshed local dimming. By being able to independently control the brightness of different zones in the backlight, the monitor promises to deliver one of the best HDR experiences to date.

A big promise for PC monitors is still high dynamic range, hdr. A wider range of colours, more colour nuances, greater maximum brightness and higher contrast should take the display to a higher level when it is combined with suitable source material. Although we have already seen a number of hdr-capable monitors this year, the colour quality of those models does not equal that of a good hdr television. A wide colour range or more shades of colour are not the problem, the required maximum peak brightness and contrast are.

Dominating in Low Profile - Hexgears X-1 Wireless Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

We all get it: mechanical keyboards are the happening thing for gamers. But what do you do you do if you prefer a lower profile, like on a Mac or laptop? Well, Hexgears has the answer with the X-1 Wireless Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard. Working in partnership with Input Club, the team has developed a full-fledged gaming keyboard, complete with your choice of switch, per-key customizable RGB backlighting, and a one of the most unique layouts we’ve seen. The project is launching on Kickstarter on 7/24 but we were able to get our hands on a production prototype to see if it lives up to the hype.

If you haven’t heard of Hexgears yet, don’t worry; in the States, not many people have but they’re a major player in China. Who you should know of by now is Input Club. We’ve looked at their boards extensively - the Whitefox, K-Type, and the upcoming Kira gaming keyboard - and in many conversations, they’ve made it clear that they believe keyboards aren’t done yet. They can be better and do better than what’s in the mainstream today. More than anything, if they’re going to put their hand on something, it’s going to be made with the end user in mind. What is it they want? What will make this keyboard better for them? In answering those questions, they find their design and in their designs they deliver with the highest quality materials and engineering.

E-Win Racing Champion Series Gaming Chair Review

When E-Win offered to send this chair out I was skeptical because of how much I didn’t like my current (Amazon Special) gaming chair and I had never heard of them before. But before we get started into this I want to take a moment and mention that I do understand that the styling of these types of chairs is rather polarizing, people either love it or hate it, and I’m not going to try to convince you to like it if you don’t or dislike it if you do. I personally think they’re really cool for racing game fans, which I quite enjoy.

Lets first touch on assebly. The assembly process was smooth and easy with everything needed to put it together coming in the box, even a pair of grippy gloves so you can more easily handle the components. The strut and wheels pop right into the base and then attaches to the seat with 4 allen keyed screws, the back goes on in a similar fashion…that’s it. it’s that simple.

Ecovacs Ozmo 601 Review

Robotic vacuums have grown increasingly capable over the years. We recently put one of Ecovacs' newest to the test that is capable of not only sweeping up debris on solid floors and carpets, but mopping as well.

Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 601 is more than a traditional robot vacuum, which have become so common anymore, this is apparently a normal phrase. It combines its powerful suction, with a detachable mop for those pesky kitchen floors. That, and support for Amazon's Alexa smart assistant will also be soon added, making it even more capable.

Let's dig in and check out how well it did in our tests.

Intel's Spectre Variant 4 Performance Tested: Speculative Store Bypass

Today we’re taking a look at the impact addressing the Spectre 'Variant 4' CPU flaw has on Intel's 8th-gen Core CPUs (Coffee Lake). Back when the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities were made public in early 2018 we knew this was going to be an ongoing process.

The initial patches didn’t take care of everything. They addressed Variant 1 better known as Meltdown and then two Spectre flaws known as Variant 2 and 3. Recently though Intel and Microsoft rolled out updates to address Variant 4, a related “speculative execution” attack dubbed “Speculative Store Bypass.”

iStorage diskashur DT2 12TB Review

We are getting more familiar with iStorage products as the year moves forward, back in March we had the opportunity to check out the diskashur2 while today we shift gears to the DT2 lineup, a desktop encrypted drive solution with plenty of capacity.

The DT2 12TB is the highest capacity desktop solution offered by iStorage. It features USB 3.1 for connectivity along with pin-authentication and real-time 256bit AES XTS encryption. It's platform and device independent and relies only on its USB port and your 7-15-digit PIN, no software needed. The DT2 at its heart operates via a hardware-based microprocessor that is CC EAL4+ ready with physical protection mechanisms to prevent tampering or otherwise bypassing the security of the drive by entering a deadlock frozen state automatically.

Musynx (PS4) Review

Musynx has been a notable rhythm game release on mobile devices over the past two years, featuring over 100,000 downloads on the Android market alone. This touch-screen driven rhythm game had players tap along to Chinese tunes but some players might have preferred to play something more tactile. Now, Musynx has arrived on consoles in North America, from both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita as well as the Nintendo Switch. How does Musynx stack up as part of PM Studios’ growing commitment to bringing rhythm titles stateside?

Musynx’s core gameplay of tapping along to notes that fall down a vertical highway is nothing new for the rhythm genre. It’s a formula that titles along the likes of Rock Band and DJ Max have perfected over the years. Players can opt for either a four or six-key play style with two different difficulty settings, good for easing your way into learning the trickier patterns and note combinations. The shift from a mobile touchscreen to button interface lead to a few concessions, such as removing notes that slide across from one zone of the screen to the next. Instead, the systems have been streamlined to only require tapping or holding a note as it crosses the bottom of the screen.

Sandberg Bluetooth Earbuds + Powerbank Review

Even though just 3 years ago noone had ever seen a "true" wireless set of earbuds today the market is filled with them and although many consumers seem to be somewhat reluctant in acquiring one (at least judging from all the people we know) that doesn’t seem to keep many manufacturers (both new and old) from releasing new models with extra features. Perhaps the most important feature introduced lately is the addition of charging cases which also act as portable batteries (power banks) capable of not only charging the wireless earbuds but also your mobile devices. Sandberg recently released their very own true wireless earbuds (Bluetooth Earbuds + Powerbank) which we've been using for just over a month now.

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.

Turtle Beach Stealth 300 Amplified Gaming Headset Review

For many years I wasn’t really a fan of Turtle Beach, there were complaints of cheaper products from my friends and their friends, etc. However, all that was well over 10 years ago now! And, a lot has certainly changed since then. In the last few years, I’ve tested dozens of Turtle Beach headsets, and they continue to blow me away with their features, performance and prices. However, today I’m hoping the new Stealth 300 headset can live up to the rather excellent track record we’ve had recently from Turtle Beach.

While it may look like any other Turtle Beach headset, as they often do, the 300 is packing a fair few surprises. It’s wired, but it still features a built-in battery. That’s right, it has a built-in powered amplifier to really thunder the audio into your skull. That means powerful sound, bass, a customisable EQ, and mic monitoring. Best of all, it’s under £70. Excited? I know I am!
