AOC C3583FQ 35-inch 160hz curved ultra-wide monitor review
Behind an unassuming name, the 35-inch AOC C3583FQ is a curved monitor that’s certain to be of interest to anyone who wants an ultra-wide display for gaming, without the budget to stretch to the high-end models. It’s the most affordable 21:9 screen we’ve yet seen, the refresh rate goes up to 160Hz, and perhaps most importantly, it has a really bright AMVA display that offers great IPS-like picture quality.Read full article @ KitGuru

Gigabyte Brix GB-BSi5T-6200 Review
Intel Skylake, DDR4 memory and NVMe storage in the palm of your hand. A number of manufacturers have chosen to ride the Intel NUC bandwagon, and though the form factor hasn't proven as revolutionary as the chip giant would have hoped, Gigabyte has seen considerable success with its own line of Brix mini-PCs.Read full article @ Hexus
The Taiwanese outfit has championed its range with a wide range of hardware innovations over the years. Back in 2014 the Brix Pro arrived with Iris Pro graphics on a Core i7-4770R CPU, there was then something for gamers in the form of the GeForce-equipped Brix Gaming, and last year's Brix S was one of the first mini-PCs touting a fifth-generation Core processor, codenamed Broadwell.
Fast forward to today and the latest barebone Brix, model number GB-BSi5T-6200, serves-up the compact form factor in a sixth-generation Intel 'Skylake' flavour.
HP Spectre x360 15t Review: A 4 Pound Convertible Beauty
It was just about this time last year that HP first took the wraps off its chic, convertible ultrabook, the original Spectre x360. Although the Spectre name wasn’t new, HP’s approach to the ultrabook’s design language had been completely revamped, and it showed in the quality of the then all-new Spectre. Now, HP is releasing another revamped version of its slick ultrabook, making promises of an even better experience for users who want something just a bit larger in a 15-inch format.Read full article @ HotHardware
The craftsmanship that made the original Spectre x360 such a hit is clearly present in the updated 15.6" model we'll be showing you here, which has the same stylish look and ultra-thin chassis...
And of course, the machine is now infused with Intel's Skylake processor platform and all the new features and technologies that come along with it.

Razer Naga Chroma 5G MMO gaming mouse review
No matter how many buttons your mouse has, some gamers want more of them. That is why rodents like the Razer Naga exist, offering more function in a mouse than almost any other. Designed with MOBA and MMOB gamers in mind, the Naga also comes with all of the strong features of a Razer peripheral, including decent build quality and strong back-end software. Yes it has full support for the Chroma lighting system too.Read full article @ KitGuru
The Razer Naga Chroma also incorporates the uber-sensitive Razer 5G laser sensor, with a DPI range that extends all the way up to 16,000 DPI. It is more than you will ever need of course, but better there than not.
SteelSeries Rival 100 Optical Mouse Review
"I do not need a high end smartphone," my dad said, as he was shopping around for a new handset to replace his aging Nexus 4. "All I want is something with a performance camera, large high resolution screen, long battery life, and more storage capacity." I do not know about you, but I am pretty sure my dad pretty much just described a high end smartphone, despite saying he is not looking for a high end smartphone. Therefore, I jokingly replied, "I do not need a high end car. All I want is something with at least 500hp, premium leather, panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled seats, adaptive LED headlights, and navigation." I think his point of not looking for a "high end smartphone" was not related to the features, but rather, the price. We all crave for cutting edge performance and top end features, and hence why these things are desirable. However, there is always a limitation of how much more money people are willing to spend in order to get them. If one can get a product that meets all their requirements for less money than they expect, then we got a sale. Today, we will take a look at the SteelSeries Rival 100. The latest in the gaming company's lineup promises to deliver best in class performance. Featuring an optimized PixArt SDNS-3059-SS optical sensor with up to 4000 DPI sensitivity, Prism lighting engine, full customization via SteelSeries' excellent Engine 3 software, and a well-designed shell promising a great universal grip for all users, will you be taking this mouse home anytime soon for all it promises to deliver without a normally high end price tag? We took one in to see what $40 can buy you.Read full article @ APH Networks
Swiftech H220 X2 Prestige
So you have built your new rig but it feels like it is missing something. Well you might be running the stock cooler or you might even have a decent air cooler installed. They might get the job done but when it comes to putting so much money into your computer it’s hard to know that you spent that much while still skimping on your cooling. You could just throw down and build a full custom water cooling loop, I know I’ve done that on a few of my builds. But things have gotten so much easier with all in one water cooling kits coming out from basically every manufacture. Well in the case of my LAN rig I had installed an AIO water cooler last year but recently is has been driving me crazy with water in the lines. Because of that I reach out to our old friends over at Swiftech about their new H220 X2 AIO kit. The difference between their kits and most other manufactures is they are basically an all in one custom kit that you can expand and upgrade later. The new models add in LED lighting, a visible reservoir, and many more features over past models. So not only does it give me a chance to check out what the new kits are all about, it also helps give the LAN rig an upgrade before I make it out to a few events over the summer.Read full article @ LanOC Reviews
Wacom Intuos Pro Pen Tablet Review
The first humans used squeezed berry juice to draw hunting scenes on the walls of caves. Today we are a few steps ahead. The berry juice has become a pen with electromagnetic resonance and instead the cave walls, we are now using graphics tablets. However, the basic idea remains the same. That is why we now have the tablet Intuos Pro M from the company Wacom in our review. Whether this pen tablet gives wings to our creativity, we will find out at OCinside.Read full article @ OCInside
WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra NAS Review
WD launched their My Cloud EX2 dual-bay network-attached storage (NAS) series back in March 2014 and just last month announced that they were updating this popular model by releasing the My Cloud EX2 Ultra, a high-performance, two-bay network attached storage (NAS) system. The original My Cloud EX2 featured a Marvell A370 1.2GHz single-core SoC and 512MB of DDR3 RAM. That was respectable at the time, but prosumers today are looking for more power for multitasking and smooth HD video streaming. WD saw this coming though and upgraded the processor and memory...Read full article @ Legit Reviews
