Lenovo’s IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 is one of the reasonably priced Snapdragon X Plus PCs starting to appear on store shelves. This $850 2-in-1 has a decent combination of features and performance, but its 3D performance and battery life are not as good as some of its rivals. Specs and features One of the many low-cost PCs with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Plus X1P-42-100 is the Lenovo IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1. With eight CPU cores (down from the Snapdragon X Elite’s twelve) and a…

Given its unassuming appearance, the Acer Swift 14 AI might be mistaken for any of the company’s laptops. But there is a mystery within it. Acer’s first Arm-based notebook, the Swift 14 AI, is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processor. Since Arm-based CPUs have finally become strong enough to run Windows, laptops have seen a significant transformation in recent years. However, the Acer Swift 14 AI may not be the best example of that shift. Slim and effective, the…

The Inzone M9, Sony’s first gaming display, was released in 2022 to mixed reviews despite some fanfare. Despite superb visual quality, the monitor’s design was divisive and its high price tag was unjustified. With the M10S, Sony has returned with a second generation of gaming monitors. The Sony Inzone M10S is an OLED display that gains knowledge from its predecessor in several important ways. Sony Inzone M10S specs and features  When it comes to the M10S, Sony is not holding…

One of the first laptops to come with Intel’s new Lunar Lake chipset is the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360. Compared to laptops powered by Intel Meteor Lake from the previous generation, Lunar Lake offers significant power efficiency gains under the hood. For Lunar Lake to shine, Samsung also offers a great 16-inch laptop with a stunning AMOLED screen, a 360-degree hinge, and a pen for some two-in-one functionality. But the display is better than the keyboard. Specification The Intel…

For the fall of 2024, the Acer Swift 14 will be somewhat rebranded as the Acer Swift 14 AI. The new model, like its predecessor, is a Windows laptop that is lightweight and thin and aims to provide good performance at a mid-range price. It fulfills that promise despite a few issues, such as a subpar display. Specs and features The Swift 14 AI’s specifications highlight Intel’s Core Ultra 7 258V, a member of the company’s latest Core Series 2…

Rarely is the greatest keyboard for gaming the same one ideal for typing. Because of this, I adore little side keypads like the Razer Tartarus. Since there are few good wireless options, I cut up a GameSir one because I adore them so much and wanted to upgrade the switches and battery. However, paying over $100 for what is essentially half a keyboard is excessive, particularly if you do not think you would be as fixated on the form aspect…

The D8 Hybrid, an extremely versatile external storage enclosure with four full-sized 3.5/2.5-inch SATA bays and four 2280 M.2 ports to handle NVMe SSDs (30TB HDDs/8TB SSDs), can accommodate up to 162 TB of storage. Additionally, it performs well within the 10Gbps USB limit. Features You can also utilize 2.5-inch SATA SSDs or 2.5-inch HDDs in the 3.5-inch drive bays, which I have already listed for you above. 2.5-inch HDDs fall well short of their larger cousins in terms of…

There are several options available to consumers searching for a 16-inch laptop. Another choice in this crowded field is the MSI Stealth A16 AI+, which, as its name suggests, does not immediately catch the eye. But if you need a laptop that can do a little bit of everything, the MSI Stealth A16 AI+ is worth looking at. Specs and features The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor and the Nvidia RTX 4070 mobile GPU are paired in the MSI…

This keyboard has a screen (not that it needs one), is wireless, low-profile, hot-swap, and costs a lot less than any of its popular competitors. Can a keyboard that costs less than half as much as a $300 one has all the same features? Well, no. However, you can come rather close. And it is more than sufficient if you are on a tight budget. With the Hexgears Immersion A3, a keyboard, the goal is to make flagship features much…

I find the HyperX Cloud Mix 2 to be quite appealing since it is the type of headset I can use whenever and wherever I choose. Why? Because, despite its superior sound, on-ear controls, and Active Noise Cancellation, it is small and light, and its headphone design looks fantastic in any setting. In addition to having great connectivity, the Mix 2 is quite comfy. This headset is unmatched for portability and versatility, but gamers seeking deep features, such as a…
