ASRock Fatal1ty B360 Gaming K4 ATX Motherboard Review

Can ASRock's Fatal1ty implementation of the cheaper B360 PCH bring it a value victory? How far can you go when cutting costs, while still appealing to budget-conscious enthusiasts? Intel's B360 chipset, a couple steps down from the Z370 flagship, walks that line well in terms of features. It nixes overclocking and multi-card graphics support, but adds integrated USB 3.1 Gen2 abilities while--in theory at least--making for more-affordable motherboards.

The ASRock Fatal1ty B360 Gaming K4 we're looking at here, however, falls flat primarily because of pricing. For just $5 more, the ASRock Fatal1ty H370 Performance offers better connectivity and more PCIe bandwidth for graphics and speedy NVMe storage. And for this B360 board's $115 asking price, you can even find a few alternatives with the flagship Z370 chipset, giving you all the features that B360 takes away.

Asus ZenBook S Laptop Review

The Asus ZenBook S makes a name for itself with an innovative propping mechanism and smooth design. Asus’ ZenBook S ($1,499) is a portable dream, with a nice design, lean trim and an automatic propping mechanism. Its performance, with an Intel Core i7-8550U and 16GB of RAM wasn’t as powerful as some of the competition, but it won’t leave you hanging, either.

FNATIC Flick 2 Pro Gaming Mouse Review

Fnatic is one of the biggest names in eSports. Not only do they have a huge number of wins and a long list of champions to their name, but they also have their own peripheral brand. When you hear a racing team use a brand of tires on their cars, or a musician uses a certain brand of instrument, it’s powerful marketing. Fnatic uses Fnatic, and now you can too. It’s a clever move, at least for a winning team. They’re proving time after time that their hardware is competition ready and with that in mind, I’m eager to see what the Flick 2 has to offer.

with a powerful Optical sensor, ergonomic design, and lightweight grippy body, it’s well suited for gaming. Of course, with a few extras like RGB, software customisation, and more, it should be pretty competent at home, not just at a tournament.

Moto Z3 Play Review

The original Motorola Z Play made a name for itself among users who champion smartphone battery life above all other features. It was not uncommon to hear of Moto Z Play users getting multiple days of power out of a single charge. In our review, Its battery life trounced every other phone we have ever tested by a wide margin.

So, when the Moto Z2 Play was introduced last year, many lamented Motorola’s decision to slim the phone down and ultimately reduce battery capacity. While battery life was still exceptional, it fell far from eclipsing its processor. It is no surprise then that demands were high for the new Moto Z3 Play’s battery life to improve...

Mushkin Pilot NVMe SSD Review

We've talked about the Silicon Motion, Inc. (SMI) SM2262 controller quite a bit already this year. The controller is a critical component in the three NVMe SSDs offering shoppers the best value today. The Adata SX8200, GAMMIX S11 and HP EX920 were among the best in our Game Load Time editorial that compared over 120 products. Did you know there is another, even lower-cost, SM2262 SSD available? Have you heard about the Mushkin Pilot?

Netgear Arlo Pro 2 Review

Home security made easy? There's more to Netgear than routers and switches. The California-based outfit may be best known for producing business-grade networking hardware, but it has used that experience to create Arlo, a relatively new name that is well positioned to become a mainstay in the smart home of today and tomorrow.

Since December 2014, nearly nine million Arlo devices are said to have been shipped worldwide, and the success has culminated in Arlo being spun-off as a public company trading on NYSE. It is one of many smart home manufacturers to have soared in popularity, and the fame is built primarily around wire-free home security systems that offer CCTV protection with minimal hassle. To see how the product performs, we have the latest-generation Arlo Pro 2 in for review today.

PC Specialist Enigma R1 Review

PC Specialist has built a gaming PC for just £799 - we put it through its paces. The Enigma R1 from PC Specialist is a gaming PC made for users with a tight budget. You won’t find flashy RGB lights in this PC but you do get some very decent components for the tempting £799 asking price. With the hexa-core i5-8400 paired with a GTX 1060 you should get plenty of fps for your money. But is this PC as good as it sounds? In this review we put it through its paces to find out if this pre-built is the perfect budget gaming PC.

Reolink Argus 2 Wire-Free 1080p Security Camera Review

I may have mentioned this like 100 times already but the one thing all people must love about the electronics industry in general is the fact that it never stays still and that in turn results in a very high level of competition between manufacturers, small and large. Take the surveillance/security segment of the electronics industry for example which although not the most popular one among consumers (although due to crime stats spiking in some areas of the planet it's a lot more popular than it was a decade ago) it's actually one of the most competitive ones with numerous new manufacturers debuting their product lines every year. Among those manufacturers there are some which are dedicated in the design and manufacturer of innovative and easy to use security cameras even for people who may not be into all things electronic. Reolink is one such manufacturer and after reading countless positive things about them by consumers we decided to take a look at their latest Argus 2 Wire-Free 1080p Security Camera.

Reolink started up in 2009, and ever since then, we’ve been devoted to creating the finest security products for consumers and business owners. Our first product was launched in July, 2009, which received rave reviews from customers who are sensitive to both quality and service. Until now, Reolink has helped hundreds of thousands of people from all around the world. We have spent years looking for the perfect way to make your home and office more secure and comfortable. And with great efforts we currently offer a total of 5 product lines with mature technology. What’s more, Reolink’s “Plug and Play” technology brings great convenience for DIY users, without any reconfigurations or adjustments. And the Network Video Recorder (NVR) and IP camera integrated with latest 4K technology provide you with excellent view experience on a smartphone or tablet. We strive to develop innovative and progressive technology so that we can provide our customers with intelligent and straightforward solutions. What you think matters is what we care about. We hope a small step we take will lead to a big change in your life.
