7 Little-Known OneNote Features You Will Love

After OneNote went 100% free, a lot of people including myself ditched whatever note-taking app they were using and flocked over to experience what Microsoft had to offer. Most liked what they saw and never looked back. The best thing about OneNote is that its packed full of features. And while alternatives like Evernote can say the same, only OneNote offers everything for free, and these features are its bread and butter. (Unless youre on the Mac version of OneNote, which needs to catch up.)

Batman: Arkham Knight game review with 26 GPU's

In this review we test the third and last part of the Batman trilogy, named Arkham Knight, in different settings on no less than 26 different graphics cards, so you can see which frame rates and quality settings you can expect with your GPU. We also look at the performance effects of more CPU cores.

Batman: Arkham Knight is a game with a history. On June 23rd, 2015, the game was released by Rocksteady Studios, but two days later it was taken out of stores because of performance problems. What actually happened was that the game was unfinished and riddled with bugs. Only on October 28th, the game became available on Steam, but many people already had it refunded.

Anyhow, the game is set one year after the events of Batman: Arkham City. The villain Scarecrow attacks Gotham City, and Batman of course has to fight him. A big new feature is the Batmobile, which you can use for transport, but also for combat. The game is therefore more open world-like, which means that you are free to go wherever you please and that you can do side missions, next to the main storyline.

CCL Computers Iris 200 Review

In the past six months there has been strong emphasis on 4K Gaming and VR, so it comes as no surprise that system integrators are keen to supply customers with platforms which are equipped to take on the demand that such activities place on a configuration. Today we turn to CCL Computers to see what they have to offer in their new Iris 200 Skylake-based PC which has been specifically designed to handle ultra-high resolution games.

Iris 200 uses the Intel Z170 chipset as its basis and therefore features the Intel Core i7-6700K. CCL Computers has applied a 4.5GHz to this chip and have also included a strong lineup of other components which include ASUS STRIX GTX 970s in SLI, 16GB of DDR4 and the Samsung SM951.

Corsair Scimitar MOBA Mouse Review

With MMOs and in particular the Dota-inspired MOBA games such as League of Legends gaining in popularity every year, it's no surprise that peripheral manufacturers are designing products to appeal to this expanding market. Corsair's MMO-focused mouse, the Vengeance M90, debuted in 2012 and lacks some of the latest features of the company's products. Enter the 17-button Scimitar RGB, aimed squarely at the MMO and MOBA market with enough macro keys to keep anyone happy.

Dell Inspiron 15 7559 4K Laptop Review

2014 and 2015 both saw huge increases in the availability of 4K displays. That availability is continuing to increase in 2016, especially with 4K laptop displays being more and more common. That is made evident by the Dell Inspiron 15 7559, which also boasts a Core i7-6700HQ, 16GB RAM and a GTX 960M graphics chip all for just £999.

Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 Review

A different take on the best sub-£100 Z170 board. Motherboard manufacturers used to be content in adding a couple of extra features above and beyond a particular chipset and releasing a board quickly, but the last five years has seen the bigger names develop lots of in-house technology, necessary to differentiate their products from competitor boards whose baseline performance is similar.

Opting for, say, a Gigabyte board means that you literally buy into a style and feature set specific to the company. Nowadays certain ranges encompass multiple chipsets, so it's a case of liking the 'Gaming' line-up and then choosing a board to fit your budget.

A clear example of motherboard branding rests with the Gigabyte Gaming line. Usually equipped with striking looks and complemented by gaming features such as improved audio and traffic-prioritising LAN, these Gaming boards have, in the past, offered a very sensible mix of price versus features.

OCZ Triton 150 480GB SSD Review

OCZ Storage Solutions, a subsidiary of Toshiba, has a new entry into the burgeoning field of low-cost consumer TLC (triple-level cell) NAND SSDs: the Triton 150. Featuring a new (and somewhat mysterious) Toshiba controller backing up also new Toshiba 15nm TLC NAND, the Triton 150 is aimed squarely at the consumer who’s been waiting for prices on larger SSDs to drop to this level. Historically, drives based on TLC NAND have suffered from significant performance and durability compromises. Benchmark Reviews will run this drive through our gamut of tests to see if these issues are still a factor you should be aware of.

Windows & HiDPI: time for a change

Those planning to buy an Ultra HD monitor or a laptop with a very high-res screen can now do so with confidence; Windows finally works properly with screens with a very high pixel density (according to the results of our latest test). You do need up-to-date modern software for it to work, but as long as that's not a problem, a high-res screen can now give you a much more pleasant working environment.

In early 2014, we published a test in which we explored how well Windows and a large amount of Windows software works when the screen scaling is set to 200%. The reason why we decided to explore this topic is because of the introduction of 13.3" 3200x1800 laptops and the first 4K/Ultra HD monitors. In both cases, the pixel density was so much higher than what was considered normal at that point in time that Windows didn't work properly any more on those screens: images and text were just much too small.

Luckily, Windows has long since given users the option to adjust their scaling (ever since Windows XP, in fact), which allows you to - theoretically - enlarge all elements on your screen by 125%, 150%, 200% or even more. The concept here is simple, but effective: use an Ultra HD screen at 200% scaling, and everything on the screen should take up as much room as it would on a Full HD screen, but it will be mich sharper. Unfortunately, in 2014 that only worked in theory.
