Age of Wonders: Planetfall Review

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is setting its sights pretty high. The Age of Wonders series has always been solid, but it’s never achieved the popularity of 4X strategy rivals like Civilization or Alpha Centauri, some of which I think can be chalked up to the series’ rather generic fantasy setting.

ENDGAME GEAR XM1 Gaming Mouse Review

When it comes time to look for a new gaming mouse, the categories break down into two major sections. First, are the feature-rich devices with tons of lighting options, a massive amount of buttons, wings, and software so involved it may get a bit confusing.

On the other hand, there is a group where the feature set may both have all of the latest and greatest options, it may not be the biggest mouse out there, the shape is simple yet effective, and when it comes to software, they keep it simple. Of the two types, we will be looking at a mouse from the latter segments, where we will be looking at it with wonder, to see if this new mouse can stand up against all of the various mice we have seen.

Eurocom Sky X7C (Clevo P775TM1-G) Gaming Laptop Review

If you are thinking about a gaming laptop, but are tired of the compromises that come with normal “laptop” parts, then a Desktop Replacement laptop might be a better fit for you. Eurocom’s Sky X7C, based on the Clevo P775TM1-G chassis, offers more performance than most desktops, but still lets you carry it with you. As is typical of the boutique PC makers, there’s plenty of customization available to slot into your budget, and plenty of performance on tap as well, with insane specifications for a mobile computer.

Hubitat Elevation C-5 Home Automation Hub Review

Hubitat's Elevation Home Automation Hub is designed to run your ZigBee and Z-Wave devices 100% locally. This concept of local control means your data is more secure and automations happen more reliably and faster. But they aren't just limited to these "local" devices, you can also integrate your LAN devices via Apps, but these will be dependent on internet connectivity and the manufacturer's servers.

HyperX Alloy FPS RGB Gaming Keyboard + White Double-Shot PBT Keycaps Review

HyperX’s “Alloy” line of gaming keyboards has grown over the years. One of their latest models is the Alloy FPS RGB. This is a full size mechanical keyboard that features Kailh’s Silver Speed switches, full RGB backlighting, a metal top-plate, removable USB cable, and a completely frameless design. This would be a great keyboard by itself, but today HyperX is introducing their new white double-shot PBT keycaps. So we will not only be testing out the Alloy FPS RGB, but we’ll throw these new keycaps on and see not only how they change the appearance of the keyboard, but also how it feels.

Nokia Beacon 1 Trio Review

Nokia joined the Wi-Fi market last year when it introduced the Beacon 3 in December, seven months later, on July 9th, they introduced Beacon 1 and with both units in house we start our journey with the latter; Beacon 1 Trio.

Beacon 1 is Nokia's second Wi-Fi system and the more budget-friendly of the two-current platforms. It is available as a single unit or as a three-pack; what Nokia calls Trio. This system uses application-based setup on both iOS and Android which also enables remote management along with a browser-based login to Nokia Wi-Fi Portal which gives you a large format option for monitoring your network at home or away.

Seagate Exos X16 16TB Enterprise HDD Review

Seagate recently launched its new 16TB HDDs which include the Exos enterprise drives. Today I have just that drive in the office for a closer look and a series of tests.

I keep being impressed by how much capacity Seagate manages to cramp into these type of drives, allowing them to stay as vital as ever. The Exos X16 I’m looking at today isn’t the first drive in the serious that I’m looking at and I’m sure it won’t be the last time either.

Sennheiser GSP 670 Wireless Surround Sound Gaming Headset Review

Sennheiser is one of the most respected names in consumer audio and they've spent the last three years delivering new entries in their line of GSP gaming headsets. They've been well received so far. In fact, we've reviewed three of them ourselves. This summer, the company released their new flagship and first-ever wireless gaming headset with the GSP 670. It?s wholly premium, coming in at $349.95, but does it do enough to stand out from the competition and justify it?s more expensive price point? Join us as we find out.
