Adata XPG Spectrix D41 Review

This isn’t the best DDR4-3600 that any amount of money can buy, but it may be the best DDR4-3600 many builders can afford.

Best Large Capacity SSDs for the Holidays

Historically, November is the month when SSDs prices fall before holding steady into the New Year. Over the last two years, the price declines were minimal due to datacenter demand and the slow transition to 3D memory lowering supply. We are back to a consumer-friendly flash market with ample supply and expect to see additional pricing reductions in the coming days as the shopping season heats up.

Personally, I'm difficult to shop for. What do you buy someone that usually just buys what they want regardless of the season? That's just part of living the digital lifestyle. Your family and friends can't really shop for you because they don't even know the products you want even exist. On the other side of the coin, there are people in your life that are equally difficult to shop for.

Best SSDs: Holiday 2018

The unsung hero of PC performance, these days it’s often storage that makes the difference between a fast, responsive PC and something that feels like less. A processor can only work as quickly as it can be fed data, and this is where a good solid state drive can help even a slow system become faster. Whether it’s an upgrade for an older system still packing a hard drive, or building out a new system from scratch, picking the right SSD is one of the more important decisions to make in configuring and customizing a computer. To help with this, we’ve assembled our SSD guide, outlining the best choices in SSDs of every form factor and price range.

Sizing up the SSD market here as we go into the holiday shopping season, what we find is that NAND flash memory prices have continued to drop in recent months. And this is a trend will persist into 2019. So as this year winds down we should see plenty of SSD sales, setting some new records for affordability along the way.

Customizing Ballistix memory with 3D printing or CNC

Just about every company now has memory with RGB lighting but Crucial with their Ballistix lineup was a little late to the party. I had been keeping an eye on them because the Ballistix brand made its name years ago by having their Tactical Tracer memory with LEDs built into them that would seek depending on how fast the memory was being used. This was long before RGB so I was curious what they would do to stand out in the already crowded RGB memory market. Well, they came out with a design that allows you to take the light bar off the top and customize it. Thermaltake and Asus have also jumped into this type of customization with 3D printing. Well, this was up my alley specifically because I love customizing my builds and I have a room full of 3D printers as well as a Carvey CNC. So rather than a normal ram review, today I’m going to check out the new Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB memory and then play around with the customization.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Review

And then Lenovo decided to introduce the new ThinkPad X1 Extreme 15-inch platform. Take the original Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, stretch its screen real estate to a 15-inch 4K HDR panel (1080p options available as well), drop in a 6-core 8th Gen Intel Core i7 series processor along with discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics and 32GB of RAM, and you have the all new ThinkPad X1 mobile workstation-class machine we're looking at here today. Remember that good ol' ThinkPad X1 Carbon workhorse? Yeah, well, the X1 Extreme is built for running with the bulls...

Royole Moon 3D Mobile Theater Review

It isn't often that you find a device that can truly excite you, and even more seldom that you find one that allows you to take it anywhere you go. The Royole Moon 3D is one of those devices: it's a headset that's also a personal theater, gaming apparatus, and mobile audio center all in one. This is our review of the Royole Moon 3D Mobile Theater.

SNK 40th Anniversary Collection Review

Bundling classic arcade games has become a theme lately. Arcade titles are possibly the most ripe and relevant for ports. Unlike console games which these days are often released and re-released time and time again, its not like you can actually just pop down to the local arcade to play arcade titles of yesteryear.

Why Intel Processors Draw More Power Than Expected: TDP and Turbo Explained

One of the recent topics permeating through the custom PC space recently has been about power draw. Intel’s latest eight-core processors are still rated at a TDP of 95W, and yet users are seeing power consumption north of 150W, which doesn’t make much sense. In this guide, we want to give you a proper understanding why this is the case, and why it gives us reviewers such a headache.
