The Surface Pro X is more than just a thin Surface Pro with LTE. For those who need to work on the go, Surface Pro X may be the perfect tool, but buyers need to be aware of what they are — and are not — getting when they go with Windows 10 on ARM. Here is who should be buying this laptop and who should skip it for something else.

MMORPG.com: Google Stadia Review: Good, But Unfinished

What would gaming be if we removed the need for expensive hardware? That’s the question Google set out to answer with Google Stadia. It did so with a bold promise: cloud-based gaming that would completely remove the need to buy into expensive hardware cycles. Did they succeed?

Windows Central: Jedi: Fallen Order is exactly what a Star Wars game should be

OverclockersClub: XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra Review

Let us talk about XFX THICC III Ultra as a whole. I think just from the benchmark data, the RX 5700 XT is indeed a worthy card to keep an eye on for that next build or upgrade. It will not win in every category, but it is a solid video card in a very good place to compete with NVIDIA's RTX 2060 and 2070 series.

eTeknix: ADATA XPG PRECOG Gaming Headset Review

ADATA have been on the market for many years now producing high-performance memory products. However, their gaming division ‘XPG’ has been making aggressive moves to push into the enthusiast gaming hardware market. From high-end gaming PC cases right through to their high-performance gaming peripherals. With the launch of their new PRECOG gaming headset, they look set to take this to new heights, as this is one of their most high-end launches to date. Of course, they’re not the first brand to bring audiophile-grade hardware into a gaming headset, but that doesn’t diminish from the fact that is an awesome idea and we hope to see even more brands follow suit.

techPowerUp: 1st Player Steampunk PS-750SP 750 W Review

The Steampunk PS-750SP performs decently overall, despite the strange name. Efficiency is good, and the warranty is generous at seven years. Priced around $90 we take a closer look to see if it can challenge the offerings from EVGA, Seasonic and Corsair.
