Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20

The Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 is yet another addition to the mini-camcorder market and it makes a pretty good addition too. It has a 3-inch touch screen display and a superior design that makes it easy to use. However it is a little limited in its feature set, so make sure you know what you're getting (and not getting) before you buy it.

Dell UltraSharp U2410 Review
Business Computing World published a review of the Dell UltraSharp U2410

The UltraSharp U2410 is a premium display for image-intensive workers that rely on accurate colours. It's also good value for a professional display. We didn't get on well with the capacitive-touch buttons and menu system, but in all fairness once the display is set up you'll rarely need to mess. And as it supports 1,920 x 1,080 24p playback, after hours you can relax and enjoy Blu-ray and movie footage at the frame rate it was intended. Overall it's an excellent screen.

Quick Review: Super Talent USB 3.0 Express RAM Cache Flash Drive
TweakTown posted a quick review on the Super Talent USB 3.0 Express RAM Cache Flash Drive

If you already have USB 3.0 on your shiny new PC then it is time to start adding accessories that take advantage of USB 3.0's speed. There isn't a geek or layperson that I know who doesn't already have at least a small collection of thumb drives. They served their purpose well, but it is now time to start retiring all of those small, slow drives and step up to a single, large, fast USB 3.0 thumb drive.

The current generation of USB 3.0 onboard ports is capable of just over 200MB/s. This will increase as USB 3.0 becomes native to chipsets and eventually we will see the 10x USB 2.0 speeds we were promised. With USB 2.0 topping out at 35MB/s, 200MB/s is a large increase already. With speeds already at acceptable levels, the next question that comes in is price. Traditionally thumb drives are not all that expensive, unless you start getting into the mega sizes. The product we are looking at today, the Super Talent Express RAM Cache, is available for as low as 59 USD in a 16GB capacity. Our sample drive, the 32GB model, was found for as low as 119 USD and the mega sized 64GB drive tips the scales at 209 USD.

Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Memory Kit Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Memory Kit

When it comes to PC components bigger is almost always better. Memory definitely fits into the "more is better mantra" and Corsair has just the kit for you. Operating at a modest 1600MHz at low voltage, the 8GB Corsair Vengeance memory kit is begging to be overclocked and helping to create a faster system. Read on to see how this kit performs and what we think of it!

The Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 memory kit is a great performer in every regard. Being able to overclock this memory kit easily to 1866MHz is huge! While it does not win outright in benchmarks it is narrowly behind. The results are so close that it would be tough to actually see the difference in everyday scenarios. Its true value lies in its cost per GB where at just $5 more provides double the capacity of the highest performing 2133MHz kit. It really is amazing that with the downturn in memory prices that for just $104.99 today we can get an 8GB memory kit that is Intel XMP certified to run at 1600MHz with a very low voltage, virtually guaranteeing you can hit higher speeds with a small increase in voltage. With an Intel Core i5 2500K CPU, a Corsair Vengeance memory kit, and a decently priced motherboard you would have a build that is both very overclocking friendly and an incredible performance per dollar...

ASUS GTX560 DirectCU II review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the ASUS GTX560 DirectCU II

The ASUS GTX560 DirectCU II or SKU name ENGTX560 TI-DCII tested today indeed comes all customized and factory overclocked, with quality grade components and a robust build the dark PCB of the GTX560 DirectCU II will carry a GPU clocked at 900 MHz and memory at 4200 MHz, both thus a nice chunk faster than reference.

Corsair Graphite Series 600T Case Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Corsair Graphite Series 600T Case

Corsair is a company we all know for making great memory products. Over the past 2 years they have branched out releasing products like the HS1 USB Gaming Headset, Force Series F120 solid state drive, and the Obsidian Series 800D Case. What is interesting about Corsair is that every product that they have released is either the best in class or right up there. Not many companies can say that about every one of their products. Today we will be looking at the 600T case which is part of Corsair’s Graphite Series. The case is Corsair’s entry in to the mid-tower market and they have kept some of the same great features we saw on the Obsidian 800D case, but they are also keeping consumers in mind by keeping the price on this case relatively inexpensive compared to the 800D, let’s take a look a see what the 600T is all about.

PowerColor Radeon PCS++ 6950 Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the PowerColor Radeon PCS++ 6950 graphics card

Sporting a custom heatsink that promises lower temperatures and noise, the PowerColor PCS++ 6950 has a very special trick up its sleeve to cap off some amazing performance potential: a dual BIOS. But not just any plain old dual BIOS. This card has a second BIOS that unlocks streamprocessors and boosts the clock speeds, essentially giving us a Radeon 6970 at a far cheaper price.

Ever hear of Coloud? I didn’t until one of their sets of headphones appeared on my doorstep for review.

Today I have the Blue Coloud Colors for review, they’re inexpensive and they have an in-line microphone with remote control.

Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti Phantom 2 Graphics Card Review
HardwareHeaven.com posted a review on the Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti Phantom 2 Graphics Card

Gainward have covered all bases and brought the - Phantom branding to the mainstream cards. This means that we get an enhanced cooler, redesigned card and in theory, better performance than the reference model... all of the benefits of the high end card at a much more affordable price. Today we have the GTX 560 Ti Phantom 2 on our test bench and will be putting it up against a selection of cards in a similar price bracket to see how it compares in real world gaming, media and GPU computing tasks.

Sunbeamtech Twister 120 Review
XSReviews have reviewed the Sunbeamtech Twister 120 CPU Cooler

Here at XSReviews we've seen a multitude of CPU coolers over the years from the good, the bad to the ugly. One thing we can say though is that the tower format heatsink has undoubtedly prevailed as the base concept for the majority of designs. Whilst each manufacturer opts for their own variation of fin spacing, sizes, fan combinations etc., ultimately the initial design can be boiled down to a tower of aluminium fins.

Naturally, the cooler sat in front of us today is no different. With the tower layout firmly at the heart of the Sunbeamtech Twister 120, we're looking at small variations, in comparison to competing heatsinks, to set this cooler apart from the crowd: let's take a closer look to see what we're dealing with.

Dell Inspiron Duo Hybrid Tablet / Netbook Review
HotHardware posted a review on the Dell Inspiron Duo Hybrid Tablet / Netbook

The Dell Inspiron Duo is an impressive sight. It's not often that we're this enamored by a device's physical design, but the Dell Inspiron Duo simply does it for us. The machine is a feat of engineering, and it really redefines the convertible laptop segment. This 10.1" machine is part netbook, part tablet, but unlike many rivals, it doesn't compromise much in terms or portability and form factor to be both. When you open up the package, it looks like a Mini 10 or any other 10" netbook. But once the lid is open, a simple press on the LCD allows it to swivel around and lock into place, in reverse. Close the lid back down atop the keyboard, and you're now looking at a tablet...

nVidia GeForce GTX 460 Graphics Card Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the nVidia GeForce GTX 460 Graphics Card

With nVidia's launch of the GTX 570/580 series video cards last November, prices on the 400 models have slowly begun to decline. As Shawn noted in our recent Zotac GTX 480 review, retailers simply can't continue to sell previous generation cards at the same price as the new ones, and most manufacturers are offering rebates and other incentives to move out existing stock. At the same time nVidia quietly added the GTX 460 SE to its lineup, a cheaper version of the original 460, at the expense of some of its performance. With the January release of the GTX 560 Ti, we're seeing even deeper cuts on the 400 series cards, such as this nVidia GeForce GTX 460 from Computer Geeks.

Mad Shrimps posted a review on the ADATA Superior Series S102 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

ADATA started to introduce speedy USB 3.0 flash drives to the market, one of them being the Superior Series S102 16GB model.
