Each CES for the past 50 years has had an underlining theme. With CES 2017 only one day away, my money is on this year’s theme being VR. Already we’ve seen multiple hardware companies offering a VR experience, either within their own ecosystem or within an established one like Vive or Rift. …..

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.

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…..

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…..
