Hexus: Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (AMD Ryzen 7 4800U)
Great performance and superlative battery life in one tidy package. It stands to reason that AMD wants the same impact in the laptop market, where Intel is arguably stronger, and its latest 'Renoir' chips mate Zen 2 CPU cores with Vega graphics. The upshot is excellent performance and great battery life in packages between 15W and 45W. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 put out suitably impressive numbers via the 45W Ryzen 9 4900HS chip, so now it's time to turn around attention to a sleeker proposition making full use of the frugal U-series chips. Enter the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7.

Windows Central: Windbound Xbox review: Feels like a repetitive Zelda dream
Windbound is a game developed by 5 Lives Studios that's all about surviving life on the seas. It definitely pulled many positive elements from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, in some instances, gameplay is a little too repetitive.

LanOC Reviews: Razer Huntsman Mini
If you have been a LanOC reader for a long time there is a good chance you have seen a few tiny keyboards being covered. This is because I have been a big fan of the 60% keyboard for years now and I use them in both my wife and my own LAN bag as well as with my test bench as a way to save space on my already crowded desk. Sadly though the 60% keyboard options have been limited to enthusiast-focused options which are sometimes expensive or hard to find. Cooler Master did finally jump into the 60% market with their SK621 but with its low profile switches and keycaps, it wasn’t what I prefer. So I was extremely happy to see another huge name in the peripherals market announce a 60% board. Razer introduced their Huntsman Mini which has a layout similar to the Pok3r that I prefer. I’ve been using the Huntsman Mini and today I’m going to take a closer look at the board and talk about my experience with it so far. Let’s go dive in!

Anandtech: The ASUS ROG Phone III Review: A 144Hz 6000mAh Beast With Caveats
ASUS’s ROG Phones over the last few years have been devices of interesting differentiation, with the company delivering experiences that stood out from the crowd in one way or the other. This year, the new ROG Phone III doesn’t quite represent an as radical change compared to its predecessors, however ASUS makes some important upgrades and improvements to the popular gaming phone formula, updating the ROG3 to the newest Snapdragon 865+ SoC, introducing a 144Hz display, as well as most importantly, improving the every-day camera experience of the device.

MMORPG.com: NETGEAR Orbi AX6000 Mesh WiFi 6 System Review
Some locations are simply impossible to cover with good WiFi signals. Into this impossibility, the NETGEAR Orbi, promises a wireless solution with true signal integrity over a mesh network and options for extra wired connections. Does the Orbi AX6000 live up to the promise of "mesh as intended" or is the gap between promise and reality too wide?

APH Networks: FSP Hydro G Pro 750W Report
What is the first thing that comes to mind if I ask you to make an impression of a stereotypical American? If you yell "AMERICA! FREEDOM!" and make gestures of guns blazing in the air, then you are not alone. Do not get me wrong; I love America even though I am from Canada. But the stereotypical "AMERICA! FREEDOM!" -- even if we are all poking fun at -- is something even most Americans find funny from my experience. Now, despite the fact this is often said in a somewhat sarcastic fashion, I always remember the Lyft driver who took me to the airport when I was in San Francisco last year for Micron Insight. The driver immigrated from Russia pretty recently, and I asked him what he thought of America. Without thinking, he said -- in complete seriousness -- "AMERICA! FREEDOM!" Clearly, the same statement has different meanings to different people, and it is understandable in this case. When it comes to power supplies, the FSP Hydro series has confused the casual user for years. When the Hydro G came out in 2016, everyone thought it is watercooled, except it is not. The "hydro" part of the name actually referred to its hydro dynamic bearing fan. The same confusing naming scheme also applied to the Hydro PTM we reviewed in 2018. But as fate would have had it, the Hydro PTM+ that came a year later is actually watercooled. If you think the stars finally aligned, then you would still be wrong. The latest model in the lineup, the Hydro G Pro, we are reviewing today is back to air cooling only with the same hydro dynamic bearing fan that gave all the Hydro series PSUs the name. Except it also adds a coating that allows it to operate in 95% relative humidity conditions. Wait, what? Either way, read on to find out what is inside!
