Believe it or not, if you choose to lie or stretch truths to the US government about your company’s products, it’s not going to bode well. Former Volkswagen exec Olivier Schmidt is now finding this out the hard way, as he’s just been arrested by the FBI for his role in VW’s…..

For us at Techgage, this year’s CES has proven to be one of the busiest ever, so we’re leaving the gambling and entertainment mecca excited for the year ahead. Some have been hit with worse luck, though, such as Razer, which had not just one, but two of its prototypes stolen by…..

A couple of months ago, I took a look at TRENDnet’s then latest powerline Ethernet kit, TPL-421E2K, and overall, I loved it (despite my apartment’s wiring not being too complementary). So it piqued my interest greatly when I learned that the company has followed-up to that kit at this year’s CES with…..

If you’re in the market for a new gaming headset, there is certainly no shortage of them available to choose from. However, if you add wireless to the mix, then that becomes an entirely different story. On one hand, there are a good collection of wireless cans out there, but many of…..

Hot on the heels of us posting a review of an excellent GTX 1060-equipped notebook from Eurocom comes an announcement from NVIDIA for its new GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti for notebooks. Considering the GTX 1060 offered excellent gameplay at 1440p, the 1050 Ti should offer an “excellent” 1080p experience. As we’re…..

Logitech wasted no time at CES 2017 to unveil a brand-new gaming mouse series called ‘Prodigy’. The goal with this series isn’t to be the best of the best, but to be the best of the best for its “great value” market segment. In the G203 Prodigy’s case, that great value equates…..

As someone who’s been a fan of ASUS’ STRIX graphics cards ever since their original unveiling, I was rather delighted to open a box a couple of weeks ago and see ASUS’ brand-new Z270E Gaming motherboard. Knowing what ASUS has accomplished with its GPUs, I knew that the board could be a…..

We might have just survived another holiday season, but it looks as though Valve can’t shake its giving mood, as it’s just launched another sale. This one has an interesting angle, and it might be the first time it was used: highest-grossing. While this has to be one of the easiest sales…..

Achieving excellent 1080p gaming on a modestly-sized notebook for relatively cheap has long been a difficult proposition, but Eurocom’s Sky M5 R2 is up for the challenge. This $1,399 notebook comes packed with NVIDIA’s GTX 1060 and Intel’s i7-6700HQ – not just enough for 1080p, but good for 1440p to boot. Let’s dive in!

It’s no secret that South Korea is packed with gamers, even serious gamers, as many eSports competitions reveal. However, did you know that SK is so serious about gaming, that its own government will step in to improve it? That’s just what’s happening with any and all online games that operate in…..

Given the season, it’s just about guaranteed that there are going to be a lot of new VR owners soon, so to that end, NVIDIA has continued to update its tech demo / game VR Funhouse to keep it relevant, and enticing. The latest update might be its biggest yet – or,…..

We don’t post a lot of console-related news and content at Techgage, but there have been some exceptions over the years. Most recently, I purchased a PlayStation 4 Pro, and in addition to the full review, I talked about the 60 FPS vs. 4K angle and performed some in-depth performance testing –…..

It’s no secret that AMD’s CPU business has struggled in recent years, with Intel having firmly planted itself at the top of the performance pile, in effect becoming a de facto choice for those building a new PC. This is not to say that AMD’s chips have been lackluster, because that’s far…..

AMD has long offered graphics cards that have been suitable for machine- (or deep-) learning, but as with other changes that have been made since the introduction of the Radeon Technologies Group, the company has decided to launch future cards with such complex focuses in its own lineup, not attach them to its preexisting…..

It feels like we’ve been talking about Bluetooth 4 devices forever, so it’s a little exciting that we can share news today that Bluetooth 5 is finally on its way. It might be a couple of years before it’s the de facto BT solution in place, but if you typically buy higher-end…..

Much to Intel’s chagrin, Qualcomm has dominated the mobile processor market for quite some time, but that’s not enough to satisfy the intense hunger of the company. Today, it proves that, as it’s just announced that it’s begun shipping the first samples of its upcoming server processor series, Centriq 2400. Qualcomm’s Centriq 2400…..

A decade ago, it would have sounded outlandish to suggest that Intel should go to AMD for its graphics needs, but over the past couple of years, many rumors have floated around the Web suggesting that it could in fact happen. Those rumors are not settling down; [H]ard|OCP‘s Kyle Bennett has just saw to…..

It appears that the future of supermarket shopping has just arrived – at least in Seattle. Amazon has just taken the veil off of Amazon Go, a supermarket shopping experience that will make you feel like you’re committing a crime before you even leave the building. And who doesn’t want that? Amazon…..

MechWarrior fans: rejoice! After a staggering sixteen years, the mainline MechWarrior series is getting another entry. MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will see fans take on the role of a noobie in a war-torn 3015, but fortunately, it won’t take some 1,000 years to play it: Mercenaries should hit us in 2018. MechWarrior 5…..

If you’re in charge of a small or medium business that relies on super-fast storage, then Synology’s latest NAS should be of interest. The first in its series, the FlashStation FS3017 is designed to offer absurd I/O speeds thanks to its focus on flash storage – we’re talking 200,000 IOPS kind of…..
