CES 2013: ASUS’ Transformer AiO Combines a Tablet with a Desktop PC
For a couple of reasons, one company that’s always worth checking out at CES is ASUS. One of the biggest reasons revolves around the fact that the company’s products are usually intriguing, but past that, it always manages to show something off I wasn’t expecting. This year, that “something” is the Transformer AiO.…..
CES 2013: OCZ Shows Off Enthusiast-bound Vector PCIe SSD
Despite not having been out for too long, OCZ’s Vector SSD has already made a name for itself as one of the top-performing SSDs currently on the market. For any SSD to get much faster, it would require removing the SATA 3.0 (6Gbps) interface bottleneck, and so that is exactly what OCZ…..
CES 2013: iBUYPOWER Introduces Striking Revolt Gaming PC
Years ago, among the rising popularity of mobile computing, I began to wonder what the future would be like for boutique builders like MAINGEAR, CyberPowerPC, Puget, iBUYPOWER and others. After all, it seems that many are anxious to get away from the desktop, so what would these companies do to keep things…..
CES 2013: Samsung Unveils “Eight-Core” SoC – Exynos 5 Octa
Earlier this week, NVIDIA announced its Tegra 4 processor – one that’s considerably faster than the previous generation and more power efficient to boot. Since then, other vendors have remained a bit quiet, but Samsung broke that silence today by announcing its latest Tegra competitor: Exynos 5 Octa. By the name alone,…..
CES 2013: TRENDnet Announces First USB 3.0 802.11ac Adapter
It’s a little bizarre whenever a new technology hits the market that no one can effectively take advantage of for months or even a year. Take 802.11ac wireless, for example. While the routers have been plentiful, the adapters to actually take advantage of the performance speeds haven’t been. The only easily-attainable adapter…..
CES 2013: Corsair Goes Bigger than Big with Obsidian 900D Chassis
Leading up to the start of any CES, there are always a handful of products that have their announcements leaked. Corsair is a company that usually doesn’t find itself a victim of such things, but this CES was different. Over the weekend, images of its Obsidian 900D chassis leaked out, and due…..
CES 2013: WaterBlock – Thin, Clear & Effective Gadget Water-Proofing That You Can’t Buy
Do you enjoy your gadgets? Do you enjoy water? Would you believe me if I told you that both of those things hate each other? It’s true. Drop that phone into a loo? Be thankful if it still works afterwards. Leave your DSLR in the rain overnight by accident? You better hope…..
CES 2013: Kingston Commemorates 10 Years of HyperX with Special Edition Memory
Waaay back in 2002, Kingston patented, created and launched a DRAM tester. To put it to good use, the company followed-up with performance memory. Its branding? HyperX. To say that a lot has happened since then would be a huge understatement. Back then, memory modules were eye-popping if they were greater than…..
CES 2013: Intel Formally Announces Haswell as 4th Generation Core Processor
During its CES keynote, Intel divulged much about its upcoming products and technologies, and not surprisingly, the major focus was all on mobile. The company did however formally announce its 4th generation Core processors, based on the Haswell microarchitecture. Past that, Intel didn’t discuss too much on the technical bits, but that’s not…..
CES 2013: ASUS’ Google TV Device is the Cube-shaped “Qube”
As we posted about last week, a handful of companies at CES are unveiling their latest Google TV products, and some are even showing off their first. One such company is ASUS, with its “Qube” set-top box. It takes nothing more than a quick look at the photo below to understand exactly…..
CES 2013: Corsair’s New Generation of Vengeance Peripherals – Introduces Raptor Brand
CES 2013 is shaping up to be another busy show, with Corsair making a range of announcements regarding its well-received gaming peripherals.

CES 2013: Razer’s “Project Fiona” Becomes Razer Edge, Will Launch in Q1
Given its vast selection of gaming peripherals, and not to mention its great support of pro-gaming, I think it’s safe to say that few peripheral companies care quite as much about PC gaming as Razer. However, the company doesn’t enjoy the idea of PC gaming being limited to the home, and used…..
CES 2013: Kingston Delivers Third-Gen DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Flash Drive
Given the sheer number of reads that our look at Kingston’s 1TB HyperX Predator flash drive garnered, you’ve made it pretty-much impossible to follow-up to. However, once you realize that the 512GB version of that drive retails for around ~$1,500, you might come back down to earth and realize that Kingston’s other…..
CES 2013: Steam Box Concept Design – Xi3’s Piston
While unlikely to be the final version of the recently speculated Steam console, the Piston from Xi3 was developed with Steam’s Big Picture mode in mind. Xi3 creates modular PCs; designs which are easily upgradable over time, while remaining compact. Currently on show at CES 2013, specifics about the Piston are minimal,…..
CES 2013: USB 3.0 Will See Speed Double in 2013
It’s amazing what a little competition can do. First it was FireWire that brought about much needed updates to the original 1.5Mbps USB spec, culminating in the venerable 480Mbps USB 2.0. Now apparently we may have Thunderbolt to thank for such a rapid update to the still very new USB 3.0 spec.…..
CES 2013: ASUS Goes Big with ARES II Dual Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition Graphics Card
ASUS is no stranger to graphics cards, as it crafts some of the most attractive models on the market. But there’s one series that stands out like a Ferrari in a parking lot: ARES. Appropriately falling into the company’s Republic of Gamers brand, ARES adheres to the “go big or go home”…..
CES 2013: TRENDnet Powerline 500 AV Nano Adapter
No device has opened up the home network like the wireless router. With most new homes today still being constructed with networking as an afterthought, wireless is often considered the only choice for network access around the home. Depending on the distance, sometimes a wireless router simply won’t reach. It’s times like…..
CES 2013: Corsair Voyager Air – a Mobile Wireless NAS and Hub
Corsair, an industry leader in high-performance PC component design, has chosen the 2013 CES in Las Vegas, Nevada to announce the Voyager Air. Described as “the first all-in-one mobile wireless drive, home network attached storage, USB drive, and wireless hub”, the Voyager Air hopes to be your solution for on the go…..
CES 2013: NVIDIA’s “Project Shield” Vows to Offer Ultimate Mobile Android Gaming Experience
It may not have been obvious a year ago, but it is now: many are banking on Android as being the future of on-the-go gaming. Heck, it’s the future for inexpensive gaming in general. We’ve seen OUYA reach major success even before its launch, and recently, GameStick has come along to give…..
CES 2013: Kingston’s HyperX Predator Flash Drives Go to 1TB – Yes, 1TB
Given the sheer number of products that get unveiled at each CES, it’s of no surprise that some will shine a bit brighter than others, causing people to do a double-take or drop their jaws. This year, the first product to manage both of those for me is Kingston’s DataTraveler HyperX Predator…..
CES 2013: NVIDIA Announces Tegra 4 – Sports Cortex-A15 CPU and 72-Core GPU
As expected, NVIDIA took advantage of CES to unveil its Tegra 4 mobile processor, hyped up during the company’s press conference by its ever-enthusiastic CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang. When Apple unveiled its latest iPad this past fall, featuring the company’s A6X processor, it’s unlikely that anyone could have guessed the performance boost it’d…..
CES 2013: Rosewill’s Helios RK-9200 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Features Dual LEDs
ROCCAT doesn’t look to be the only company set to show off a new mechanical keyboard at CES; Rosewill’s jumping on board as well, with its Helios RK-9200. Rosewill has become a bit of a de facto standard as far as mechanical offerings are concerned, as the company doesn’t focus too much…..
Steam’s Holiday Sale Gets an Encore
If you’ve been unable to pick up a game during Steam’s annual holiday sale, or were unaware that such a sale was going on, you’re in luck. No doubt due to the success of the sale up to this point, Valve has decided to have an encore. Beginning immediately, and running straight…..
CES 2013: Google TV to Get Treatment from ASUS, LG, Vizio and Others
Intel may be having a rough time getting its own Internet-based TV platform off the ground, but Google has high hopes for its Google TV going into the new year. At CES next week, ASUS, Hisense and TCL will be unveiling their first Google TV products, while existing partners LG, Vizio, Sony…..
CES 2013: ROCCAT Soon to Release First Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, “Ryos”
Ahead of next week’s CES, ROCCAT has announced its first mechanical gaming keyboard, dubbed “Ryos“. A couple of years ago, finding a quality mechanical keyboard was tough, but today, that’s hardly the case. In order to stand out, companies need to bring some interesting and useful features to the table in order…..
