The GMKtec M3 Ultra Mini PC is equipped with the Intel Core i7-12700H CPU. Our unit was decked out with the Core i7-12700H, DDR4-3200 32 GB (16 GB x2) SO-DIMM memory, and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 M.2 drive. There are two M.2 slots, so you can get up to 16 TB (8 TB each) capacity for your storage needs.

Windows Central: 'Status Pro X' earbuds review — The best (and most expensive) earbuds I've ever used, and they're worth every penny

The Status earbuds were all over Instagram for years and I overlooked them, but became increasingly curious after using other Hi-Res certified headphones. Now I'm in love.

APH Networks: Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL Review

I was recently introduced to a card game called Mantis. The premise of the game is a game of stealing and scoring cards. Each card has three colors on one side and a mantis shrimp in one of the three colors on the other side. Players will only see the three-color side and make a guess whether they want to use the card on themselves to score shrimp, or on someone else to steal their shrimp with the same color. However, if the card is played on a person who does not yet have this color, the action fails to resolve. For a while, it seemed like one of my friends knew exactly what was going on, as he would predict what would be the correct color in many consecutive times. But as we continued to play more rounds, it was clear his luck had run out. As with most games of chance, we all ended up winning at least once throughout the evening. There is a bit of strategy involved in the game, but it does come down to how the cards line up. On the other hand, making products is much more about using experience and skills to produce a refined product. A manufacturer could get lucky with how well their item sells, but just being fortunate is rarely a winning strategy. Today, we have the Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL, which is the latest mechanical keyboard from Turtle Beach in a tenkeyless format. We have seen their Vulcan II TKL Pro, and I wonder if this previous experience will help with today's product? Will today's non-Pro version show Turtle Beach's experience? Let us read on to find out!

IgorsLAB: Lofree Block keyboard in classic style: Review of a compact mechanical everyday companion

Minimalism meets functionality, all in one block. The Block keyboard is based on a deliberately minimalist design that combines suitability for everyday use with a clear design language. The soft gray tone of the housing, complemented by warm orange accents, creates a calm visual presence that blends harmoniously into different working environments. The block-shaped keycaps and the compact 98-key layout are aimed at users who value structured typing and an uncluttered interface.
