Samsung has announced a new pair of convertible laptops with the 13- and 15-inch Notebook 9 Pro, and they look a lot like Windows-flavored versions of the Chromebook Pro – which isn’t a bad thing. The similarities between the Samsung Notebook 9 Pro and Chromebook Pro start immediately with the built-in stylus, rounded frame and convertible laptop form-factor. These are all things we enjoyed about the Samsung Chromebook Pro and we hope they’ve translated well to a Windows 10 device. Samsung is ai

We’ve seen plenty of gaming hardware revealed at Computex 2017 today, and Zotac has added to the growing pile of kit with the introduction of the world’s smallest GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card and new gaming PCs (complete with a new brand, no less). Zotac prides itself on making compact PCs and graphics cards, and miniaturizing the mighty 1080 Ti is no mean feat. Nevertheless, the company has produced two shrunken efforts – the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Mini and GTX 1080 Ti Mini ArcticStorm. The f

There’s no question about it, I’d been looking forward to driving the Jaguar F-Type SVR for months. Now, I’d enjoyed the rumble of the exhaust when I drove the V8 Ford Mustang, but the F-Type SVR is a noise on a whole other level. Sure it’s a little unnecessary, and even with the active exhaust off the F-Type SVR sounds great – but my word it sounds even better when you turn it on. You’ll find the F-Type SVR evokes this sort of reaction from onlookers wherever you go. The F-Type SVR is a car to

As such, the question remains: which one is better, HTC Vive or Oculus Rift? HTC Vive vs Oculus Rift? HTC Vive and Oculus Rift also have a wider 110-degree field of view (measured diagonally). The Oculus Rift is a little more compactThis is where the Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive differ the most, actually. Neither VR headset requires a phone, like the Samsung Gear VR, but HTC Vive does connect to your phone via Bluetooth for answering calls and messages.

Yes, this is an RGB backlit keyboard, and it also comes with RGB l

From Andy Rubin, the creator of Android, comes a new smart speaker called Essential Home. It looks like a cross between an Amazon Echo Dot and a Nest thermostat that wants to get your smart home gadgets talking to one another. The speaker works in a similar way to the Amazon Echo, although it will be equipped with a large circular screen, much like the upcoming Amazon Echo Show. The power of suggestionSo far, so Amazon Echo, but the interesting thing about the Essential Home is its Ambient OS, w

MSI’s slimmer, lighter and quieter Stealth Pro range of gaming laptops have always offered high end performance in an extremely portable package, but the 2017 GS63VR that was unveiled today at Computex has managed to shrink the chassis to just 17.7mm despite packing a 6GB Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU. This slim package crams a surprising amount of features into the lofty 4.19lbs (1.9kg) 15-inch form factor. The other key inclusion is NVIDIA’s recently announced Max-Q technology that offers rejigged pasca

With sleek angles on the outside and advanced cooling to keep the hotted-up insides in check, the latest line of MSI’s ‘Raider’ gaming laptops is likely going to bring some power and prettiness to the table, hopefully without blowing the budget. The GE63VR and GE73VR will be sporting some brand new tech, including the world’s first 3ms 120Hz display panel. Despite the improvements, MSI have managed to squeeze the new Raider’s into a smaller chassis and slimmer body. The company’s partnership wit

The OnePlus 5 is rumored to pack dual-cameras on its rear, and a fresh tweet from the brand has now given us a glimpse of its potential. OnePlus tweeted an image taken on the OnePlus 5 stitched to an image taken on another, unknown handset to show off its new flagship’s low-light skills. It would be weird for OnePlus to highlight its inferior performance…Can you tell which photo was taken with the OnePlus 5? pic.twitter.com/Pd27la4ewnMay 29, 2017It looks promising then, but it’s not clear whet

Nvidia has promised a new generation of gaming laptops that will be three times thinner and three times faster than currant laptops thanks to its new Max-Q technology. Nvidia claimed it has applied a similar precision-engineered design philosophy to the one used by NASA, to create technology that will allow device manufacturers to build incredibly thin and powerful gaming laptops. Not only that, but these laptops should be up to 70% more powerful than currant gaming laptops, signifying a generat

We were a little surprised when Gigabyte announced it’s ultra compact Aero 15 gaming laptop a month ahead of Computex this year, but after seeing the impressive range of revamped performance gaming laptops, it makes sense to have launched it a little early. In addition to putting forward the latest iteration of the P57 (v7) at Computex 2017, Gigabyte showcased an all new P56XT performance-focused gaming laptop.

The centerpiece of the MSI GT75VR Titan is a newly developed SteelSeries rapid RGB mechanical keyboard that’s a low-profile traditional keyboard over the desktop key found in the GT83VR.

In terms of hardware specs, the MSI GT75VR sports an Intel Core i7-7820HK CPU that can be overclocked all the way to 4GHz. There are three options for the GPU including an Nvidia GTX 1080, Nvidia GTX 1070 SLI and N

Apple has been trying to convince Android users to switch to using an iPhone for a long while now, but last week the Cupertino firm upped the ante and launched its ‘Switch’ website, which aims to highlight an iPhone’s many virtues. To add to the arsenal and in a bid to convince Android users further, Apple released three new ads on Monday. The ‘Security’ video emphasizes how vulnerable Android devices are to data theft, while the second ‘Smooth’ video highlights the iPhone’s performance. The thi

Neill Blomkamp may not be making his proposed Aliens sequel as we’d all hoped, but if this first trailer for the District 9 director’s upcoming short film project is anything to go by, certain elements from that film will surely end up in front of our eyes. Dubbed Oat Studios Volume 1, the project aims to distribute an experimental series of short science fiction films to fans via online streaming and is currently eyeing different distribution methods. If you’d like to keep up to date with Neill

Your hand jumps back to the WASD keys, but in your haste you’ve inadvertently knocked over the bottle onto your keyboard, and suddenly much more than the game is ruined.
