Gamers jus5 love their RGB lights, something that some smartphone makers like ASUS and nubia are trying to capitalize on. Most of the time, those lights come via LEDs attached to cases, but what if the PC components themselves glowed? That's the proposition that Corsair has been making with its new Capellix RGB LED lighting technology that it first unveiled at CES earlier this year. True to its promise back then, Corsair is now making available the new Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB which crams 12 such LED ights in a single RAM stick

Ram has announced the revival of a nameplate that hasn't been seen since 1977. The nameplate is Warlock, and in the late '70s, the package got you a single cab truck with wood bed rails, gold wheels, and fancy pinstripes. The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock receives none of those cool touches.

You're nobody in the modern truck world if you don't have a slick multifunction tailgate with more flexibility than a Transformer, and now the new 2019 Ram 1500 is getting in on the action. FCA's beefy new pickup has plenty to recommend it already - not least the huge, portrait-aspect touchscreen that dominates the dashboard - but aiding cargo loading and unloading means there's more going on at the rear.

Ram has unveiled the 2019 Ram HD trucks and the big claim to fame for the rides is a revised 6.7L Cummins inline-six turbo-diesel engine. That engine has a massive amount of torque at 400hp and 1000 lb-ft. A standard duty version of that engine makes 370hp and 850 lb-ft of torque.

It would appear that the Mac mini from late 2018 is quite a bit more versatile, hardware-wise, than most other Apple products. Today the folks at iFixit revealed they'd been working on a set of RAM stick replacements for those delivered with the most recent Mac mini release. They suggested that they'd seen such opportunity when their community-made RAM replacement guide saw tens of thousands of hits in a very short amount of time.

Anyone who lives in a colder state knows that you often need some special gear to make it through the winter.

In Consumer Reports annual reliability survey, it would appear that US-based brands are moving downward while Asian automakers take the cake. These reliability rankings cover a total of 29 brands, this year, and all domestic (USA) brands rank in the bottom half of the list. Volvo ranks last, while Cadillac takes the 28 spot as the lowest-ranked domestic brand.

It might not be long until the first phone with 10GB of RAM is on shelves. Though there have already been a couple of manufacturers rumored to be working on 10GB phones of their own, OPPO might beat them to the punch. That's what new regulatory filings suggest at any rate, but unfortunately, the first handset with 10GB of RAM may not be entirely new.

Samsung has been rather conservative with RAM in smartphones once it hit the 4 GB mark back in 2015. In fact, it was only last year that it added 6 GB of RAM to its flagships. It might be long overdue another upgrade and it may already have the silicon ready. The company just kicked off the mass production of its new 10 nm-class 16 Gb LPDDR4X memory and, considering the timing, it might very well be what’s inside the Galaxy Note 9.

Samsung might be best known for its smartphones and consumer electronics but it might surprise you to know that its most steady and most profitable business as been from its silicon, particularly its memory and storage products. Samsung has admittedly been in the lead and it’s not trying to widen the gap even further with the industry’s first 8 Gigabit (Gbit) LPDDR5 DRAM, preparing for a future when 5G data connections and AI services are the norm.

Automakers are beginning to learn that just because they roll out a new body style of a vehicle that doesn’t mean demand for the old-style wanes. Nissan did that with the Rogue when it rolled out its new body style years back selling the old and new together. Jeep has done it with the Wrangler selling the Wrangler JK (the old body style) alongside the new Wrangler JL this year. Now Ram Trucks is doing this with the Ram 1500 Classic.

Truck fans will recognize the 1500 Classic as the old body style truck that was popular before the rollout of the new 2019 Ram truck. The Classic will be sold right alongside the new truck and presumably will be cheaper making trucks more affordable for the masses looking to buy. Ram says that the 1500 Classic is known internally as the DS model while the 2019 Ram 1500 is known as the DT.

Ram specifically says that the 1500 Classic is targeted directly at entry level and commercial buyers and that it is keeping the old truck on to not "walk away" from those two buyer categories. Along with the old body style, the trucks will also feature a new "Classic" badge on the fenders. There will be four trims available with Tradesman, Express, Big Horn/Lone Star, and special services vehicles.

There are three packages for those trucks including Chrome Plus on the Tradesman with chrome bumpers, body-color upper front fascia, 17-inch wheels, remote keyless entry, and carpet. Tradesman SXT will be offered on the Tradesman trim adding chrome bumpers, body-color front fascia, 5-inch radio, fog lamps, dual exhaust for V8 models, and 20-inch chrome wheels.

An Express Black Accent package is available on all Express trim colors and has black wheels, black headlamp bezels, and black badges. 1500 Classic buyers can choose bed and cabs including Regular Cab with 8-ft. bed or 6-ft., 4-in. bed, Quad Cab with 6-ft., 4-in. bed, Crew Cab short bed (5-ft., 7-in.) or Crew Cab with optional 6-ft., 4-in. bed.. Both 4x4 and 4x2 models will be offered with 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine or a 5.7L Hemi V8. A 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel will be offered later. Ram 1500 Classic will launch in Q4 2018 with pricing unannounced for now.

Ram has a problem. The truck-maker wants to oust Ford's F-150 pickup from the best-seller chart top-spot, but to do that it needs something to take on the fearsome Raptor. What better, then, to challenge one fossil-fuel burning dinosaur than another: the Ram Rebel TRX Concept is going into production.
