I was impressed when I had a chance to check out VisionTek’s Radeon HD 3870, as it really performed quite well. Now I’ve gotten ahold of its big brother, the Radeon HD 3870 X2. This card also comes from VisionTek, and is the Overclocked Edition, which promises to get a little extra power over the [...]
If the ASUS Eee 900 basically amounted to a larger-screened version of the 7-inch original, then the Eee 901 marks its graduation into a distinct model. Packing Intel’s latest 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, in place of the 900’s Celeron 900MHz, ASUS could reasonably have left the rest of the notebook the same and simply added [...]
Gamers are used, by now, to manufacturers telling them they need a specific keyboard in order to unlock their maximum play potential. Sometimes that means colored keys, other times it’s easy to program macros, and occasionally - as in the case of the Wolfking Warrior XXtreme we’re looking at today - it’s a whole new [...]
When it comes to PC cases, there are several things to take into consideration. Style is one area that usually gets ranked pretty high. You’ve also got to make sure that it keeps your system running cool, and allows for plenty of room for everything. Well I’ve had the opportunity to test out the NZXT [...]
So I’ve had Rock Band Wii for a day or so now, and I thought I should be nice and share my thoughts with all of you, just in case you had any doubts or worries before it hits shelves next week. Hit the jump for my full review.
In a week when full-sized notebooks have wrenched back the focus from their budget ultraportable brethren, we’ve had Gateway’s M-152XL on the SlashGear test bench. With a 15.4-inch widescreen display, Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 processor and separate ATI Mobility Radeon graphics, packed into a 6.2 pound chassis, Gateway’s latest is really looking to [...]
Toshiba’s Satellite range went through a shake-up back in April, arguably in an attempt to bring some of the multimedia Qosmio gloss to its more bread & butter machines. Out went drab casings and middle of the road specs, replaced with a stylish new design and the promise of healthy performance. SlashGear has been taking [...]
When Aliph released the original Jawbone nearly two years ago, I felt as if I was the only person in the world that didn’t like the look, thought the design too bulky, and wasn’t all that impressed by the company’s “noise shield”. So how do I feel about the Jawbone 2? Well, let me put [...]
As laptops get faster and better specified, so the potential threat to your lap increases; the market for heat-dissipating mats has increased massively over the past few years. Unlike foam-filled pads or risers bristling with fans, though, LapLogic sandwich a layer of Aerogel - the best thermal insulator known to man, and capable of [...]
When you want to get the most performance out of your gaming rig, you’ll naturally want to try and overclock it. However, you have to deal with the excess heat put off by your CPU (or whatever component you’re overclocking). One option is to get a bigger heatsink and throw in some extra fans, which [...]
