Asus ROG Strix XG32VQ Review

Asus, market leader in the field of gaming monitors, was laying low for a while. Success stories like the MG279Q and PG348Q were not followed-up until recently. Now the manufacturer is finally back with three new screens. The ROG Strix XG32VQ discussed in this review combines a 32” WQHD VA panel with a high refresh rate of 144 Hz. This means that the screen is not unique - other manufacturers like Samsung, LG and AOC have produced gaming monitors based on the same recipe. The XG32VQ looks good next to the competition, in any case - whether the monitor's performance also stands out, you can read in this review.

Asus has been working hard lately with new' Republic of Gamers' gaming monitors. Although the introduction of new products had stalled somewhat since 2016, at the end of last year the manufacturer finally came up with a new line of gaming monitors, of which the XG27VQ, the XG32VQ and the XG35VQ are now also available. The' X' at the beginning of the product name indicates the presence of FreeSync, while the number represents the diagonal image diagonal. Models with G-sync can be identified by a P, such as the recently discussed PG27VQ.

G.Skill Sniper X 16GB DDR4-3600 C19 Dual-Channel Kit Review

One of several newly decorated models in the Sniper X line, G.Skill’s F4-3600C19D-16GSXF offers two 8GB DDR4-3600 modules at moderate cost. How does it stack up?

G.Skill’s game-themed memory line, Sniper X, is available in classic camo, urban camo and, just in case you’re trapped behind enemy lines in a simulation with nothing but a pair of heat spreaders for concealment, digital camo. Understanding that people with windowed cases often divert to showmanship before and after a tournament, G.Skill put the real tech underneath those pretty covers.

iBolt ChargeDock Review

Touted as "the world's first magnetic charging dock for your iPhone," iBolt's ChargeDock has a unique gimmick. The ChargeDock itself has four magnets, to hold the phone in place. The user's iPhone connects to the dock's lightning connector, while the back of the phone connects to the dock, with a pair of metal plates assisting in the magnetization.

This can work either with or without a case. The metal plate is ideally supposed to go between the iPhone and the case, or without a case, between the iPhone and the dock.

SanDisk Ultra Fit 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive Review

If you are from Canada, you may have gotten used to a few things that many people from the rest of the world have a hard time wrapping the heads around. Firstly, Canada is ridiculously large; secondly, our plane tickets are among the most expensive in the world. Recently, one of my friends who just came to Calgary from England to study as an international student posted in a Facebook group I was in. "Does anyone want to visit Toronto or Vancouver over the reading break?" I kind of chuckled at that question, since anyone from Canada would know you do not fly from one major city to the next, on a university student budget, on a short notice during a break that is only one week long. In case you are from Europe, let me explain to you this way: Driving two hours would probably get you across two countries in your part of the world, while for us, we would have not even have reached the next major city inside the province of Alberta. The next time I met my friend, I tried to explain this to her. "Flying to Toronto is a four-hour flight," I said. "That is further than London to Istanbul or Moscow and it costs three times as much." Canada, eh? More often than not, we misjudge the size of something because of pre-understandings or perception; either way, we still misjudge. A few years ago, I reviewed the SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB, a ridiculously tiny USB flash drive with a shocking amount of storage. Even today, people misjudge the capacity of the drive mainly because it is physically so small. Today, we will take a look at yet another Ultra Fit from SanDisk, but this time around, they doubled the capacity to 256GB and updated the interface to USB 3.1. Is this the Canada to our European friends of flash drives? Read on to see if this is a product that will change our perceptions and pre-understandings once again!

Sea of Thieves Review

With Rare’s Sea of Thieves, we have decided to embark on a review experiment here at Wccftech. The game’s intrinsic sandbox nature and focus on cooperative action suggested a different approach, so we chose to deploy a crew of four pirates on the seas and then let them recount their own experiences while adventuring in this curious world. As you’d easily guess, our final score will be the average of the individual scores.

The social seas are something to be explored with a full crew, as Sea of Thieves just doesn’t capture that same magic when sailing solo. Rare has done a phenomenal job creating a world that gives crews an open-sea sandbox to explore at their own pace. Long stretches of the open sea feel barren, although finding an enemy ship or skeleton fort can quickly lead to exciting and the moments of Sea of Thieves that are worth sticking through to see. Pockets of adventure can be found in any direction of the compass, so if heading due north doesn’t lead to booty, change your bearings and head west instead.
