Microtech e-tab Pro 4 review: Affordable and underpowered

Tablets are no longer what they used to be a couple of years ago. Most manufacturers refrain from designing and creating as many models as they used to, but some are still keeping the market alive. Not too long ago, I received in testing a reasonably affordable tablet running on Windows 11, made by an Italian company called Microtech. As it’s been a while

ASUS RT-AX59U review: Discreet, good-looking, and flexible!

Some users don’t like traditional wireless routers with external antennas. Others want to hide their router from view by mounting it on a wall or placing it in the corner of a room. However, only a few routers cater to these needs. Luckily, ASUS has recently launched the RT-AX59U for these users. A dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router with a beautiful design, solid hardware, and

ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-I Gaming WiFi review: Small yet powerful

The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming WiFi is a small motherboard designed for Intel’s latest processors from the 13th and 12th generations. Although mini-ITX motherboards such as this one usually have to let go of many features and ports simply because they’re too small to accommodate everything, the ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming WiFi doesn’t want to do that. Instead, it uses some clever design

ASUS ROG Destrier Ergo review: The Sci-Fi ergonomic chair!

Even though I’ve been using gaming chairs for years, I’m not generally too fond of them. That’s because some of their features, like lumbar and neck support, are usually poorly designed and don’t really help in improving your health and posture. They’re mostly marketing gimmicks, not real, well-thought-out features. However, there are exceptions, like the futuristic ASUS ROG Destrier Ergo (SL400), which received many

Starting with the 12th Gen and continuing with the 13th Generation Raptor Lake architecture, Intel has some of the best desktop processors. One of the most attractive models is the Intel Core i7-13700K, a CPU that can reach 5.40 GHz in boost mode, with 16 cores, 24 threads, and excellent pricing.

TP-Link Archer AX23 review: Wi-Fi 6 for everybody!

The market is flooded with new Wi-Fi 6 routers at all prices. In recent months, I tested mostly mid-range and premium routers.

The latest family of NVIDIA graphics cards, the RTX 4000 series, includes so far three GPUs: the RTX 4090, RTX 4080, and the RTX 4070 Ti. There will be an RTX 4060 too, but we don’t have any official information about it when writing this review.

Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 RGB Special Edition review

Although DDR5 memory is slowly but surely increasing its adoption rate and lowering its price, DDR4 memory is still a choice for many. While raw data transfer speeds offered by DDR4 can’t match DDR5, the advantage of tighter timings (lower latencies) and the costs are still important aspects to consider in favor of DDR4. If you’re looking for the best DDR4 memory for your
