ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe Smartphone Review

ASUS launched an array of products a few weeks back at its Zenvolution event in New York City. Among them was the gorgeous ZenBook 3 Ultrabook, the convertible Transformer 3, and an assortment of Android-based smartphones that carried ZenFone 3 branding. The four ZenFone 3 models that launched included the entry-level ZenFone 3 Laser, a 5.5” ZenFone 3 Deluxe, a 5.7” ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and a flagship 5.7” ZenFone 3 Deluxe Special Edition, which packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821 SoC.

The specifications, build materials, and pricing for the various ZenFone 3 phones that launched are all different. The ZenFone 3 Laser is a $199 phone, which the 5.7” ZenFone 3 Deluxe Special Edition commands a loft $799.

Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming 1,200W PSU Review

Coming out to play with the big boys. Gigabyte is probably better known to you as a provider of a wide range of motherboards. Industry estimates put its annual shipments at around the 20m mark, and the company vies with Asus for the title of world's biggest producer. That said, like any good company, it has diversified outside of its core competency and now has a range of graphics cards, PCs, peripherals and power-supply units.

And the firm is looking to make a bold statement in the ultra-high-end segment of the market by releasing a single 'Xtreme Gaming' PSU dedicated to the true enthusiast. The vital specs of this beast are impressive enough, with 1,200W capacity, fully-modular cabling, and 80 PLUS Platinum certification.

Philips Brilliance 275P4VYKEB 5K Monitor Review

If you haven’t made the upgrade to 4K yet, we’ve got news for you. You’re too late. The cutting edge has moved on already. The Philips Brilliance 275P4VYKEB is one of the first 5K screens to hit the market. Although Apple’s iMac had a 5K version a while back, and Dell got there some time ago too (see the KitGuru review HERE (https://goo.gl/CYOQhE) ), this is my first look at a 5K screen, and it’s not as expensive as you might think.
