    Targus' New USB4 Triple Video Docking Station with 100 W Power Harnesses USB4 and Thunderbolt

    Man I understand that these things aren't cheap, but these prices are still ridiculous. It's clear that the ones typically buying those have very high disposable income (and business) and the companies selling have no incentive to lower prices.

    MSI Issues Updated BIOS and Driver for the Claw Gaming Handheld to Improve Performance

    I wonder what Helldiver 2 is? A secret single-player only followup? /s

    Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus

    That's useful to know, thanks for taking the time to reply. You've pretty much convinced me it's definitely not the first one and most likely the second one. And to be clear I'm not commenting on the review, I think the review is fine. But I'm a bit foolhardy, I think any NAS more than 500$ is...

    Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus

    Honestly these prices seem very suspect to me. Ugreen is not a small company by a long shot so, it's typically more to gauge interest and simply a marketing effort. But to me the the reported retail price is at least 150$ too much which, to my eyes, only aims to make the kickstarter price look...

    Turtle Beach Dismantles ROCCAT Brand, Carries on Products and Support

    Turtle beach is to me more like the cheap console audio solutions brand with PC gaming as an afterthought. Roccat was more focused on PC gaming. If you'd ask me if I thought quality when thinking about Roccat then no, not really. But most definitely better than Turtle Beach. In my eyes this is a...

    GALAX Unveils Low-profile GeForce RTX 4060 Graphics Card

    Low-profile is synonymous to half-height when we're talking about graphics cards. Just because it's not strictly correct according to a dictionary or whatever you're referring to does not necessarily mean that it is wrong, especially so if the vast majority calls it low-profile. I'd argue that...

    Akasa Announces the ALUCIA H4A Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Sockets AM5 and AM4

    It probably can, but at unreasonable noise levels. 3600RPM is quite high.

    MSI Claw Core Ultra 5 135H Competes Closely Against Core 7 155H Sibling in Gaming Tests

    135H outperforming the 155H seems like a mistake by either the author or Intel / MSI. Anything more than parity is really.

    AMD Readies Ryzen 5000XT Line of Socket AM4 Processors

    At worst nothing really happens, the XT prices are too high to be reasonable and the non-XT chips don't move in price. At best non-XT chips come down in price and/or XT come in at the same price as current variants with a mild clock bump. Minus how confusing it gets to the people who don't know...

    PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 GRE Hellhound

    And yet still people will recommend sapphire models over this one even if they're more expensive. Ridiculous.

    Microsoft Introduces Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 Models for Business

    Always liked the surface products but felt since day one that the prices were 15% too high. I understand they're not designed to be value champions but the hw/$ is so poor I can't justify them.

    Playtron Secures $10 Million in Funding, Announces PlaytronOS & Handheld Gaming Device

    Lots of negativity. I'll await the day it comes out and check the reviews to see if they move the bar or not. But admittedly this is a bit of a nothingburger as it is...

    Cooler Master Tempest GZ2711 OLED

    Maybe interesting if it's significantly cheaper than competitors, but considering it's not even the cheapest offering but is arguably the worst this monitor is a fail. CM is still not doing so hot with their monitors...

    HONOR MagicBook with 24 GB "Non-Binary" LPDDR5 Memory Appears Online

    Such a weird hill to die on, everyone who knows even anything about binary immediately understands the title. You could argue that it is perhaps "technically incorrect" but it sure as hell isn't a mistake. I'm honestly not a fan of this development. Because we're splitting economies of scale...

    Sycom Silent Master Range Offers New RTX 40 SUPER Noctua Options

    Honestly this doesn't look that far off from what you could just do yourself. Get yourself a morpheus or xtreme, zip-tie two fans, get a splitter and JST to PWM converter and voila. The only thing that you gotta do yourself (or not, it's mostly looks) is the shroud. But admittedly it's...
