Windows Central: XPG's Xenia Xe is a pricey 15-inch Ultrabook with modern appeal

XPG's Xenia Xe is an interesting Ultrabook from a company that's just emerging onto the consumer laptop scene. It has a ton of awesome features, but it's also held back by some design choices.

Today, we are reviewing another air cooler from Scythe: the Mugen 5 Black Edition, coming from the best seller series of this German manufacturer. It’s The last time we got our hands on this company’s cooler was at the end of 2020 (so not long ago) – it was the Ninja 5 (which earned the “Approved” award).

Mad Shrimps: Dream Machines DM6 Holey Duo Gaming Mouse Review

After customizing the DM6 Holey Duo with our own DPI preferences, we went ahead and tried it in multiple game types such as Dark Alliance, The Evil Within, DOOM Eternal and Prodeus: the mouse felt responsive in both wired and wireless modes (used the wireless extender) and haven’t noted any erratic behavior from the sensor. At just 79 grams, the mouse feels very light and controllable during intense gaming sessions, while it’s shape and rubber coating retains a heightened level of comfort.
