4K Video Editing PC - May 2015

A few years ago, your PC just couldn't be fast enough for digital video processing. By now every average PC is able to process Standard Definition (PAL 720x576) as well as HD Ready, but technology doesn't stand still. By now just about every smartphone can record in HD or Full HD and the new frontier is Ultra HD, also known as 4K. This resolution and the 'accompanying' codec HEVC / H.265 require seriously powerful hardware.

That's the reason why a powerful PC can still really make a difference. You need a fast processor, lots of storage capacity, and good monitor able to display 4K resolutions.

Crucial MX200 Review

The MX100 impressed us with its great value but write speeds could have been better when compared to the competition. Crucial have recently unleashed the new and improved MX200 complete with Dynamic Write Acceleration technology on its smaller drives. Why only the smaller drives you ask? Well, it simply is not required on the larger capacity drives. 500GB and above SSDs do not tend to suffer with write speeds as much as smaller drives so it is certainly a welcome addition for those who are looking for a small boot drive. We have the 1TB version for review today which does not require Dynamic Write Acceleration technology but as with all of our SSDs on test we will look closely at write speeds because read speeds appear to have reached a performance threshold with most SSDs hitting the fabled 550MB/s speed. Write speed is where solid state drives can be distinguished from one another.

Intel NUC gets Braswell overhaul

Intel has refreshed its NUC line with a few new models, based on 14nm silicon. Yesterday, Fanless Tech stumbled upon a PDF outlining the update, which has gone all but official in the meantime.
The new Intel NUC5CPYH is based on a 1.6 GHz Intel Celeron N3050 dual-core chip, and the NUC5PPYH sports a 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium N3700 quad-core. Both processors are 6-watt 14nm Braswell parts.

New Plugin Disable add-on deactivates new plugins in Firefox

The automatic installation of new plugins in the Firefox browser is a big privacy, security and stability issue that Mozilla has yet to address.

Considering that the organization has not addressed the issue yet even though it has been known for years, it is unlikely that a patch will land soon in a Firefox version that prevents the installation of new plugins or at least prompts the user on the next start of the browser before completing the installation.

Patriot Ignite 480GB Solid State Drive Review

I recently played a strategy/adventure video game called Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney on the Nintendo DS. While the game was released more than seven years ago, it belongs in one of my favorite series. In this game particular, you play as a defense attorney named Apollo Justice, who defends his clients through a whole series of different murder cases. Each of the murders are unique with different methods, motives, and contextual backgrounds. In one of the cases I was playing, another defense attorney is speaking to Apollo about how everyone has something that will make them ignite. A weak spot of sorts, where if attacked, would cause them to implode on themselves. I will not give away any spoilers, but the statement is quite true, even when extended to our product reviews. The majority of the products we have reviewed, with some exceptions, have had some sort of weakness. Whether they are physical design issues, implementation problems, or performance details, most items, when revealed, has an Achilles heel. There are exceptions of course, like our top products in the V-MODA XS or the SteelSeries Sensei Wireless. Even then, these high caliber products still have small things we would want fixed or improved upon. Thus when we see Patriot come in with another lineup of SSDs, the Ignite series, I can only wonder where the igniting point for this product is. Using a higher end controller in the Phison S10 compared to the Patriot Blaze, the result should be faster and better performance. Only a full review will actually squash my curiosity of whether this holds true or not, so let us get on it!

SteelSeries Sensei Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

After waiting for quite a few years to play/enjoy the next chapters of two very special PC titles it was only natural that the moment The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt (it's finally here) and Galactic Civilizations III made their debut we'd cut all ties with the outside world (well not exactly but you get the point) for at least a week (trust me when i say that even a week wasn't enough). So since it so happened that both titles got released during the past week once again we had very little choice other than to focus in wrapping up the reviews of some very interesting and unique gaming peripherals we've been using for quite a while now. Obviously as you can all imagine we chose to test the ones that would also offer us the best possible experience with the above titles and one of those was no other than the Sensei Wireless Gaming Mouse by our very good friends over at SteelSeries.

From day one, SteelSeries has been focused on making professional gaming gear that provide meaningful benefits to gamers of all skill-level, with the most demanding being those gamers whose lively hood depends on the performance of our products. We believe, as most gamers do, in winning, not trying! What originally began as a small two-person operation in Copenhagen back in 2001 has become a global leader in professional gaming products. SteelSeries recognized the need for superior, high-quality professional gaming gear that would give players a competitive edge. Fast-forward to today, and we've come a long way since our first glass mousepad. We have global offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, providing an integrated portfolio of products designed specifically for gaming. Fueling our growth is you, the gamer!
