KitGuru: iiyama G-Master GCB3486WQSCP Review (240Hz VA Ultrawide)
Today we are checking out a very interesting ultrawide monitor from iiyama. The GCB3486WQSCP may not have the catchiest name going, but it offers a curved 34in 3440×1440 VA panel that's clocked at 240Hz. That's alongside a claimed 4000:1 contrast ratio, 0.4ms MPRT response time and 500 nits of brightness… all for just £350. It certainly looks good on paper, but let's see how it performs in the real world.

APH Networks: Epomaker P65 Review
Lately, I have been browsing at 65% keyboards online for research purposes, and it is almost shocking how many choices there are nowadays. A little over a dozen years ago, mechanical keyboards as we know them were just a fledgling in mainstream consumer electronics. They were known for being great for productivity, ergonomics, and for typists initially, but broke into gaming later. Smaller keyboards have made a big splash starting with tenkeyless keyboards. These offered a smaller footprint and more space for mouse movements. Further developments saw a rise in smaller options like 75% and 65% that have a pleasant size and aesthetic. In this category, there are budget options to premium, high-end boards. In the midrange, there has been a huge growth in selection from pre-built to DIY kits. Some offer exotic designs, mini-LCD screens, and plethora of materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper that are incorporated into their construction. One brand that has added quite a few selections to this space would be Epomaker. Epomaker has been churning out so many variations that it can be hard to keep track of all their models. Whether it is officially branded, co-branded, or under a different brand, on their website, I counted over a dozen different 65% keyboards alone. From my experience, their boards typically have a solid sound and typing experience. Today, we have another keyboard from Epomaker’s lineup, the Epomaker P65. With the P65, it promises to deliver for both gaming and typing situations. Let us see how the P65 sets itself apart from the competition!

APH Networks: Crucial T710 2TB Review
I was turning into the Home Depot parking lot a few months ago when I saw another guy pull up in a 2021 Acura TLX Type S. I was driving my 2008 Acura TL Type-S, and for those who are familiar with the brand, both cars are held in high regards among Honda/Acura enthusiasts, with the 2008 being more of a classic legend and the current generation being, well, the current generation. I got out of the car just as he opened the door, and we struck up a conversation pretty quickly. We both shared our enthusiasm for the brand as well as stories of our cars. I told him I paid $7000 CAD for mine in 2021 and was using it as a winter beater, and he said he bought his new in 2021 and also uses it as a winter beater. I was pretty impressed how he drives an MSRP $60,000 CAD car as a winter beater, and he was equally impressed how I was able to score such a great example of a classic for the price. Out of curiosity, I asked him what his summer car was, and he nonchalantly mentioned it was a 2020 Acura NSX. I really should not be surprised by that, and as awesome as the Acura TLX Type S may be, the Acura NSX is certainly a worthy flagship, both for someone's garage and even the brand as a whole. The NSX has the looks, technology, reliability, and performance to back its status in the real world. In a similar way, when it comes to SSDs, the Crucial T710 2TB is the brand's latest flagship, promising impressive linear throughput up to 14500MB/s and up to 2.3M IOPS. But do these numbers translate well in our benchmarks worthy of being the brand's flagship? Read on to find out!
