Neowin: Acer Aspire 5 (A515-44) review: Once again, AMD Ryzen 4000 is a winner, but it cuts corners

Acer's Aspire 5 notebook is all about providing bang for your buck, and AMD makes Acer's job easy with its Ryzen 7 4700U processor, offering superior performance over Intel's CPUs.

KitGuru: Gladiator Behemoth Prebuilt System Review (3600/2060 Super)

Today we’re checking out a prebuilt system from Gladiator, known as the Behemoth! Its core spec includes a Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060 Super 8GB OC from ASUS, 256GB NVMe SSD and 16GB 3000MHz RAM. We love building our own PCs here at KitGuru and we know a lot of you do too, but we understand not everyone has the time or passion to build one themselves. Coming in at £1249.99, is this worth your hard-earned cash?

Neowin: MSI Trident X review: Intel Core i9-10900K and GeForce RTX 2080 Super in a compact tower

Packing Intel's range-topping Core i9-10900K, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super, and 32GB of RAM into a 10-liter case, the MSI Trident X feels like an oversized console that's incredibly powerful.

KitGuru: AOC C27G2ZU 27in 240Hz Curved Gaming Monitor Review

Monitor refresh rates are increasing all the time, and it wasn’t long ago that you’d have to pay in excess of £500 for 240Hz, and it wouldn’t even be possible to combine this with a curved screen. Now, however, AOC is delivering 240Hz refresh with a 27in curved screen, and you can buy it for under £310. There are two variants of this screen – with and without the USB hub. Our sample was the one with USB, the AOC C27G2ZU.

KitGuru: WD My Passport SSD 1TB Review

The latest addition to the WD My Passport range of external drives is the newly updated My Passport SSD. This model uses a combination of an NVMe drive and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, making it the fastest My Passport drive to date. Priced at just under £225, is this a good option for those looking for a 1TB external SSD?

TweakTown: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones 4K Blu-ray Review

The disappointing prequel sequel has aged poorly, and its 2K assets sadly have precious little to offer in 4K on Blu-ray.
