It’s been long assumed that at some point, the massively anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake would break from its exclusive hold on PlayStation and grace the PC platform at some point.

When AMD launched its latest Ryzen Threadripper series last month, we saw the introduction of a wide-range of supported motherboards that were not inexpensive. In fact, it wasn’t until we published our review that we even realized that the TRX40 board we tested with retailed for $849. Perhaps this is a new…..

ASUSTOR has been making NAS units for years, but it’s begun to make a name for itself the very crowded market by doing something a bit different. Under review is one of the least expensive NAS units on the market to feature 10Gbps Ethernet in a 2-bay enclosure. Let’s see how it performs.

The first announcement was the MH670, a…..

Fractal Design is at it again, adding to its Meshify line-up with the Meshify C Mini – Dark TG.  Quite a mouthful for such a diminutive chassis. An open micro ATX layout, the MCM-DTG(??) promises to provide “unrestricted airflow” by making use of the angular and stylish front mesh that runs the entire…..

Looking to help businesses bridge the gap between public and private cloud, Synology released the RackStation RS3618xs earlier today.  The RS3618xs is a powerful storage solution capable of filling the role of office file server, backup target, virtualization solution and through the deep Synology Package Center, so much more. Powered by an…..

With MWC 2018 in full swing, the mobile space has had a bevy of big name announcements.  Earlier this week we reported on both ZTE’s hyper affordable smart phone and Qualcomm’s steadfast drive to push 5G technology.  Also, who could have missed the world’s largest smartphone maker, Samsung, announcing its Galaxy S9?  When…..

Just a few short weeks ago, we were discussing our favorite products from the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show and one that kept getting brought up was HTC’s Vive Pro.  Not only was it a significant improvement over its first-gen sibling, it was far more than that.  It was a refreshing reminder that…..

Synology, a company well-known for its NAS devices and the DSM operating system that runs on top of them, announced the official release of three major packages on its Package Center marketplace.  The three, Drive, Office, and Moments, look to help customers change the way they store, organize, share and secure their…..

With one day to go until the official start of CES 2018, companies have wasted little time in getting in their early-year announcements.  We saw NVIDIA continue their push into the autonomous driving market last night and today, Corsair had a collection of impressive wireless gaming peripherals.

The USA stop of Synology’s latest product tour took place last week in New York, and at the event, many new products and features were announced. Of those, some were expected, some we knew about already, and some caught us by pleasant surprise. Read on to learn about them all.

Synology is best known for its feature rich network storage solutions, but last year, it broke into home and SMB markets with its very first router, the RT1900ac. Under review today is the follow-up to this router with the faster and improved RT2600ac.

Not everyone wants a huge collection of discs for movies, and not all content is available to stream. Storing content locally is often the best bet, but HDDs fill up quickly. The solution? If you have the budget, a NAS like ASUSTOR’s AS6208T doesn’t hurt, with its 8 bays (for up to 80TB!), four Gigabit Ethernet ports, and robust app support. Let’s check it out.

NVIDIA’s first generation SHIELD Android TV released only a couple of years ago, but a lot has changed in that short amount of time. Home automation and streaming technologies have taken off, and NVIDIA looks to address them with this second iteration. As an added bonus, everything else gets a good polish, making this a crazy attractive set-top streamer.

Modularity and customization are at the heart of PC building. With so many different components and needs, it’s hard to find a chassis that can do it all. Cooler Master’s MasterCase series aims to please as many builders as possible. Now with the MasterCase Pro 3, mini-tower builders now have something to work with. Let’s check it out in this review.

Mechanical keyboards are all the rage right now, but finding a good one on a budget can be tough. AZIO made a good first impression in the past, and seeks to do it again with the Kaihl Brown equipped MGK L80. Coming in a couple flavours, we take a look at the RGB edition and see how it fares.

Last August, Tom took a look at the Amped Wireless ATHENA-EX AC Wi-Fi range extender and walked away from it impressed.  While Amped Wireless is a relative newcomer to the home networking market, their products have been lauded by many in the press.  As CES fever, ahem… amps up, a deluge of…..
