IgorsLAB: Sapphire EdgeAI Mini-PC review - The first AMD HX 370 and local AI
Much to my surprise, Sapphire recently approached us to have us test a mini PC. Although I was aware that this manufacturer also offers embedded and industrial systems in addition to its well-known graphics cards, its entry into this market segment was unexpected. So let’s take a detailed look at this pioneer together.

TechPowerUp: GEEKOM IT13 (2025 Edition) Review
GEEKOM IT13 (2025 Edition) is a compact Core i9-13900HK mini PC featuring a solid range of I/O and a sturdy blue metal shell. It runs quietly and handles Office, coding, and light photo work with ease. DDR4 and Iris Xe limit modern gaming, but at $649 for 32 GB and 1 TB, it is a compelling everyday workstation.

APH Networks: Turtle Beach Burst II Pro Review
What is an optimal tradeoff? Many years ago, when I was on internship after my third year of engineering undergraduate studies, I deliberately did not apply for any company that had downtown offices. The reason was because I like driving, and going downtown meant I had to be stuck in rush hour traffic and also pay a small fortune for parking every day. I ended up going in the complete opposite direction to a company with offices in a bedroom community, but there was a tradeoff -- and I did not realize it until many years later -- that working downtown has much more dynamic and vibrant professional and social life, since everyone is within walking distance. After finishing my graduate studies, I returned to the business world, where my role was 100% remote. The benefit of this was total flexibility and no commutes, but not interacting with your coworkers in-person in the same physical space definitely has its shortcomings. I recently switched jobs, and this one is hybrid with a downtown office. This is where I learned the benefits of working downtown. To alleviate some of the tradeoffs, the company covers parking costs, and I actually quite enjoy the hybrid flexibility combined with the ability to meet and do work in-person. I feel like this is my optimal tradeoff. When it comes to products, there are also optimal tradeoffs. Last year, we reviewed the Turtle Beach Burst II Air, which is super lightweight at 47g, but can last only 40 hours on a single charge. But what if we focus a little less on the weight and give it a bigger battery and one of the latest and greatest sensors? Enter the Burst II Pro. Featuring the PixArt PAW3950-based Owl-Eye 30K and up to 150-hour battery life, the tradeoff is a little more money and an extra 10g on the scale. Is this the optimal tradeoff point? Read on to find out!
