AUKEY Amp 4-port USB Charger with USB C Port

Ive tested and reviewed AUKEY devices before which is why I feel so comfortable personally using devices from the company in daily life. We have several different types of AUKEY devices in use here in the house, primarily all charging hardware. This latest version, the AUKEY Amp 4-port USB Charger comes with a USB Type C port which has proven handy for the few devices we have that require the special port. USB Type C is just now emerging on new devices, and may eventually make it into mainstream, so having this option available is noteworthy.

Cooler Master MasterMouse S Review

Something we are rather fond of, and are pleased to see is the use of Cooler Masters' advanced textured surface that not only looks great, but also deters the build-up of finger-prints while providing a stable grip for extra control. Inside we find a 32bit ARM MCU, 512KB of onboard memory, and the new 7200DPI PWM3330 optical sensor from Pixart. The MasterMouse S is accompanied by similar software that was supplied with the MasterMouse PRO L, which means we can expect an advanced level of customisation and performance controls, including the Storm Tactix feature that will expand the number of programmable buttons from 6 to 9 + 1 switch.

Corsair Force MP500 480GB SSD Review

The storage arm of Corsair has been pretty quiet over the last few months; the last drive we looked at was the Neutron XTi high-end drive back in July 2016. But they are back with a bang at the sharp end with the Force MP500, the fastest SSD drive they have released to date.

Samsung’s 950 PRO m.2 PCIE SSD set new benchmark records when we tested it here a few months back at Benchmark Reviews. The performance picture got even better we configured a RAID-0 array with two of these drives. Now they’ve introduced the new Samsung 960 PRO NVMe SSD, with upgraded NAND and a new controller, promising even more spectacular performance.

Vernee Apollo Lite Smartphone Reader Review

Today, a new reader review has been published on OCinside.de. Jamaicaman is testing the Vernee Apollo Lite smartphone in his first reader review. Vernee first appeared since February 2016. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer offers in its portfolio well equipped smartphones at surprisingly low prices. The models include Vernee Thor, Mars and Vernee Apollo Lite, which we evaluate in this review. Lite? The hardware equipment can not suspect that, however Apollo is ready to launch and can be booked in advance with even stronger hardware.

Watch_Dogs 2 Review

In the end, Watch_Dogs 2 is a fun and good looking game, but I cannot give it a very strong recommendation. Between the weak story and how some of the gameplay actually played out for me, all I can comfortably say is that if you want this game, watch for a good sale. I cannot think of reasons to avoid it, it is not a bad game, but I cannot say it is worth getting immediately and at full price.
