Windows Central: Dynabook's Portégé X30-F could be great with some tweaks

Dynabook's new foray into the business laptop world includes the 13-inch Portégé X30-F. It has some great features and a thin and light build, but it's not without a fair share of flaws.

Windows Central: MechWarrior 5 stomps onto PC, but fails to leave an impression

MechWarrior 5 perfectly encapsulates the feeling of piloting a mech — with great gameplay to boot — but that alone can't hold up a game bogged down by bad writing, dull mission types, and a grind with little payout. This is one of the most forgettable games of 2019.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Review

For some, the release of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is very welcome as it is the first single-player game in the MechWarrior series to release in almost twenty years. For others, this may be the first exposure to the series and larger BattleTech universe it exists in. I am very much in the latter category, having never played a MechWarrior game or BattleTech game, but thanks to trailers and press releases, I do have some sense of what is going on. Humanity finally entered the stars and the space it inhabited as the Star League was called the Inner Sphere. Over time, the Star League crumbled and separate Houses formed, each controlling a section of the Inner Sphere and the Succession Wars were fought to determine who would lead.

LanOC Review: Elgato Stream Deck XL Review

Does anyone else remember the Maximus Keyboard? It was a full keyboard designed with small screens in every key. All the way back in 2005 it hit the internet and while it was just a concept back then it blew my mind with the possibilities. It did later come out at a crazy price point and they have even continued to make other variations. But it wasn’t until Elgato brought their first Stream Deck to market that the idea has ever really seen a proper use and a market that actually needed it, not just as something to show off or play around with. Well, today I’m going to check out the Stream Deck XL, Elgato’s third and largest model. I’ve been extremely curious how it could be integrated into regular PC use or workflow as well as the more obvious streaming application.
