ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Router Review

We are no longer on the cusp of Wi-Fi 6 (otherwise known as 802.11ax) connectivity -- it has arrived -- just not in earnest yet. It will take some time before the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard is truly shoved aside in favor of the new kid on the block, the one that is faster and more adept at juggling multiple wireless devices simultaneously. Nevertheless, early adopters who want to live on the bleeding edge have options. One of them is the beastly ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 we will be showing you here...

Man of Medan Review

Until Dawn is one of the best horror titles of this generation. Sure, the game goes a bit heavy on the slasher movie cheese, but that’s easily pardoned given its intense set pieces, impressive visuals, and deep “butterfly effect” branching story system. Sadly, Until Dawn has yet to receive a proper sequel since its 2015 release — only a couple of gimmicky VR spinoffs. This fact clearly frustrates developer Supermassive Games as much as the fans, as the studio’s broken away from Sony’s cozy embrace to launch The Dark Pictures Anthology with new partner Bandai Namco.

The first entry in this proposed series of quick shot horror games is Man of Medan, which aims to replicate that Until Dawn magic, but can that be done without a big Sony first-party budget? Or should Until Dawn fans put their hopes of a fitting follow-up to bed? Grab your flashlight, it’s time to find out…

MXL APS Podcasting Bundle Review

We recently took at look at the MXL Tempo microphone, and were quite impressed with its performance as a basic USB microphone. Today we are taking a look at another product offering from MXL, the APS Podcasting Bundle. And while the name implies use in podcasting, this setup can function quite nicely in a streaming setup as well. Comprised of a microphone, microphone stand, and an XLR-to-USB microphone adapter, the APS Podcasting Bundle is a great starter kit for those looking to get into podcasting, streaming, or advanced audio recording. Follow along as we take a look at each component of the bundle and see how they work together to form a great starter kit.

NVIDIA GeForce vs. Studio vs. Quadro Driver: What’s The Difference?

At its GTC event in March, NVIDIA released its first Creator driver, one that targeted the ProViz market just as the Game Ready drivers have targeted gamers.

Silicon Power P34A80 PCIe 3x4 M.2 2280 1TB SSD Review

The 1TB version of the P34A80 SSD does not disappoint at all and in many cases, we have seen even higher read speeds than its 512GB version counterpart. The caching is improved thanks to the double capacity of RAM and well optimized firmware and after the SLC portion gets filled up, we can expect write speeds hovering around 1GB/s. One extra fact to consider is that this product is offered with no less than 5 years warranty, quite enough for a consumer-oriented SSD!

Tronsmart Element Mega SoundPulse Speaker Review

Tronsmart is a company that made its name with power elements for smartphones, including external batteries and charges (Quick Charge), but the company also made quite a few portable speakers.

Tronsmart Element Mega SoundPulse is a 2x20W speaker supporting Bluetooth 5.0 and coming with 2x3300 mAh battery that can play for up to 15 hours. The battery life depends on the volume level, and it will range.
Let’s start with the basic, the 657.3 gram / 23.18 oz speaker measures 7.59x2.28x3.14in / 193x58x80mm (L x W x H) which doesn’t make it the lightest but traditionally good quality sound involves some heavier speakers. The driver unit has a frequency range of 115Hz - 13KHz and 4Ω 20W/53mm with less than 1 percent distortion.
