Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 32GB review: It’s super fast!

DDR5 RAM is slowly but surely going to replace DDR4, and although the prices I’ve seen are still quite high, the good news is that nowadays, it looks like you can actually find DDR5 memory modules in stores. Kingston is one of the companies that do quite well in this market, their best DDR5 RAM to date being the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 32GB.

Xiaomi is a growing presence in many tech areas, from smartphones to television sets and from vacuum cleaners to air purifiers. But they also make and sell smaller devices like earphones.

ASUS TUF Gaming M4 Air mouse review: Lightweight and fast!

Some of the best gaming devices and computer accessories I’ve tested in recent years are part of the ASUS TUF lineup. And the latest one on my bench is a strange mouse called the ASUS TUF Gaming M4 Air. Why strange? Just look at the pictures in this review, and you’ll see why I say that.

Samsung Galaxy S22 (Exynos) review: Natural evolution

Finally, a compact Android flagship smartphone from Samsung. Ever since the Galaxy S7, Samsung’s top-of-the-range smartphones have only gotten larger and heavier. Not anymore! While the Samsung Galaxy S22 is by no means tiny, it’s still smaller and thinner than its Android competitors. Does this mean that Samsung made compromises in regards to build quality of the device or its specs? I tested it

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablet review: a premium experience

It’s a good time for Samsung: they recently released the excellent Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone lineup and the Tab S8 tablet series; they enjoy a comfortable lead in the Android market and constantly push the boundaries of technology with their products. Now, I’m not really a fan of tablets, I think they occupy a precarious space between laptops and smartphones. But I got to

There are many models of monitor arms and other types of supports out there. Some are more flexible than others, some more powerful, and some more expensive than you’d think.

Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT review: Affordable graphics card

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is an entry-level gaming graphics card that AMD tried to make as unappealing to crypto miners as possible. However, this meant skipping some of the details that make good graphics cards good! For example, the Radeon RX 6500 XT is limited to 4 PCIe lanes, and it’s equipped with just 4GB of RAM. On the other hand, that RAM

ASUS ROG Strix B660-F Gaming WiFi review: Excellent motherboard!

Up until recently, if you wanted to build a computer based on one of Intel’s Alder Lake processors, your choice was rather limited in terms of motherboards. Z690 mainboards are quite expensive and not everyone can afford them, so once Intel B660 chipset-based motherboards came out, the platform became more accessible. The ASUS ROG Strix B660-F Gaming WiFi seems to be one of the

The children of today use smartphones and tablets to browse the internet, play games, access all kinds of apps and even chat online. They have access to an entire, albeit virtual, new world.
