AOC 90-series review: business-like and nice for home

Nevertheless there are products that are meant for the business market, that can still be very interesting for end users at home. A good example of this are the new AOC 90-series monitors, that we test in this article. We take a closer look at the AOC I2490PXQU, I2790PQU and the Q2790PQU.

Lenovo Explorer and Windows Mixed Reality Review

For a general-use headset, the software is not particularly convincing, but give the environment some time, and this will probably improve. For a gaming headset, I am more than satisfied because even with how much is still marked as 'Beta,' so much works, works well, and is fun. This has been a very enjoyable experience for me and I hope it is one many will come to share in the future. I am not sure if MR/VR is going to invade our lives as much as some have predicted, but the Lenovo Explorer can make a worthy attempt, and at $399 with controllers (at both Amazon and the Microsoft Store) does so at a more interesting price than some competitors. It is an impressive device, especially for its MSRP, so if you want to bring MR/VR into your home, this may be the way you want to do it.”

The Xiaomi Aqara smart water sensor is a compact puck-like device that operates on a single button cell battery (CR2032) which uses Zigbee to communicate with SmartThings and other compatible home automation systems.

Zalman Z-Machine X7 Full Tower Case Review

The days of the giant ATX gaming system are behind us, surely. A single-slot mITX system is smaller and less expensive than a full-sized ATX system, and modern video card performance precludes the need for SLI or Crossfire X for the vast majority of users. What, then, are we to make of Zalman’s massive Z-Machine X7 computer case? This is the largest case Benchmark Reviews has seen since the Cooler Master Cosmos: at x by y by z inches and weighing in at almost 40 pounds empty, this glass and aluminum monster will make its presence known with the help of a plethora of RGB fans and lighting effects.
