Solid state drives (SSD) are one of the best solutions for improving the performance and the speed of our computers. That's because they are always faster than traditional hard drives with spinning discs. One of the major SSD manufacturers today is Samsung, a company which is known by everyone, especially for their smartphones. These last few days, we tested their Samsung 750 EVO solid state drive: a device that promises

Ah, Nokia. The brand that connected so many people back in the nineties. The brand that soared so high in the mobile communications market, only to dip to unimaginable lows in the last few years. Under the new ownership of Foxconn and HMD global, the iconic brand has resumed its production of feature phones, the ancestors of current mobile devices.

ASUS has a good thing going on with its smartphone business, and one of the reasons for that is the fact that they have created a wide variety of smartphones, for all budgets.

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
When we hear about HyperX, we instantly think about memory modules, solid state drives or USB flash drives. But, in the last few years, Kingston - the mother company - decided it was time for HyperX to become a brand known worldwide for gaming accessories too.

Would you like to have a plug that tells you how much electrical energy your devices consume? Do you want to turn off that plug from your smartphone, when you are not at home?
