Back when the Samsung Galaxy S10 launched, there was a notable difference between the two chipsets used inside it. The Exynos 9820 was fabricated on the 8nm process while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 uses a 7nm FinFET. This is one of the possible causes of the Exynos 9820 based S10 having a considerably lower battery…
I bought the Brother HL-3040CN in 2013, and it is still going strong to this day, it has been an absolute work-horse that was cheap to purchase and is still affordable to run. So when Brother reached out for a printer review, I was more curious about trying out one of their laser options that…
I have reviewed a couple of the Thermaltake AIO coolers in the past, and they have been superb, however, they also sit close to the top of the market for pricing. Today I have the UX100 ARGB Lighting CPU Cooler which is completely the other end of the spectrum. Priced at just £13.99 this is…
While 4K has become the go-to resolution for TVs, it is less popular with PC gaming, likely due to the performance requirements.

It is a fantastic switch, and it turns out SFP is no more confusing than copper ethernet. However, 10GbE over copper is becoming more popular…
Multi-gigabit ethernet is finally starting to become more mainstream, at the same time with Wi-Fi 6 it is also possible to achieve multi-gig on a wireless network. While 10GbE is becoming more popular, it is still painfully expensive. 10GbE RJ45 is particularly costly. Netgear has some of the cheapest options on the market, but the…
Another day, another Garmin leak. This time from serial leaker Roland Quandt who is generally regarded as very reliable. This leak backs previous information the Vivoactive 4 will arrive at IFA. He leaks also do not mention the Fenix 6, which backs my suspicion that the flagship device will not be launching at the end…
If you like RGB, it is safe to say Thermaltake has a product to suit your needs. Their range of fans is an excellent example of this, looking on Amazon there are six different 120mm three packs, and five 140mm three packs, plus five packs and single fans. They all do more or less the…
Now that the third generation AMD Ryzen processors have been launched and more recently the Epyc “Rome” 7nm server CPUs, enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for the launch of the 3rd generation Zen 2 based Threadripper CPUs.

If the Acer Predator Triton 500 seems underpowered and generic to you, and money is no object, the Acer Predator Triton 900 could be an appealing prospect with its flagship specs and quirky design. The Triton 900 is among the growing number of enthusiast gaming products that throws caution and affordability to the wind. Manufacturers…
