Hands-On: Alienware Alpha Intel-Powered Gaming PC Console

We first caught wind on the Alienware Alpha in the lead-up to Valve’s Steam Box announcements, prior to the Consumer Electronics Show. If you’re unfamiliar with the Alienware Alpha, it is a sleek, small form factor gaming PC, designed specifically for gamers. Valve is not quite ready with Steam OS or the Steam Controller, so the whole Steam Box angle is on hold for now, but that didn’t stop Alienware from re-tooling a bit and shipping the Alpha with Windows 8.1 instead...

Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 expected to launch on 22nd Jan

Not at CES, as previously rumoured. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 is expected to be launched on 22nd January, according to a report published by Hermitage Akihabara. Previously we had heard, via Sweclockers, that this mid-range graphics card would be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas which kicks off on 6th January.

Hermitage Akihabara claims its information about Nvidia's schedule comes from multiple sources. Concerning the new graphics card's pricing - that is also a little bit different to our previous information. The price of a standard Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 is said to be Y25,000, roughly equivalent to US$200, £135 or 0.66BTC. Local tax will have to be factored in.

At the time of writing we don't have any confirmed specs for the GeForce GTX 960, we can only reiterate the specs gleaned from a shipping manifest which hit the newswires in November. To re-cap, the core specs of that ttest SKU were 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, clocked at 993MHz core and 6,008MHz memory. It is thought that the card will be built around the Maxwell GM206 core.

Samsung Launches A Snapdragon 810 Powered Galaxy Note 4

Today Samsung has announced a new version of the Galaxy Note 4 which will be launching in the South Korean market in January 2015. There are currently two major models of the Note 4, with the main point of differentiation being the processor inside. Most markets received a model with Qualcomms Snapdragon 805 APQ8084 which is a 2.7GHz quad core Krait 450 part. In certain markets, it ships with Samsungs Exynos 5433 which has four Cortex-A53 cores and four Cortex-A57 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration.

The new Galaxy Note 4 adds a third model to this mix. It comes with Qualcomms Snapdragon 810, which is similar to Exynos 5433 in that it sports four Cortex-A53 and four Cortex-A57 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration. However, the point that Samsung is advertising is not the SoC, but the cellular speeds that this new Galaxy Note 4 model is capable of. Snapdragon 810s modem allows for 3x20MHz carrier aggregation, which will enable LTE speeds of up to 450Mbps on future Category 9 LTE networks. It can also reach peak speeds of 300Mbps on current Category 6 LTE networks.

Turtle Beach Stealth 400 Multi-Format Wireless Headset Review

It’s fairly common for gamers to own more than one console, and when you’re ready to play online, the last thing you want to be doing is trying to find the right headset for the right console. The best way to reduce the need for multiple headsets is to purchase a multi-format headset; that’s where the new Turtle Beach Stealth 400 comes into play. The Stealth 400 is compatible with PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and mobile device. This means that quickly flicking between consoles should be relatively easy, with the added bonus that you can take the headset on the go with you for use with your mobile device.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 400 is a wireless headset, meaning you won’t have to suffer from trailing cables while gaming. Not all devices allow for wireless connectivity, so Turtle Beach have also included a 4-pole 3.5mm cable that will work great for hooking the headset up to your phone, tablet, mp3 player, or portable gaming device such as the PlayStation Vita.
