4+ hour, 53+ min ago   (704+ words) The inflated counts are not dishonest so much as loosely defined. They tend to include laptops and handheld gaming devices using the same chip, machines announced but not shipping, listings available only in China, near-identical clones sold under different brand…...

6+ day, 4+ hour ago   (588+ words) A new mini PC brand has arrived, and unusually it is European. VZMORE, a German-owned company focused on quiet, high-performance desktop computing, made its global debut at ShowStoppers during IFA 2026 with four machines — and one of them uses a Strix…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (578+ words) ASUS calls them Lumina Pro OLED, and the specification is genuinely colour-critical rather than marketing-critical. Both laptops are factory calibrated to Delta E under 1, cover 100% of DCI-P3, and are Pantone Validated. The P16 is also remarkably thin for a 16-inch creator machine…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (439+ words) Most Thunderbolt docks treat card readers as an afterthought, if they include them at all. The PexarBolt Ultra has CFexpress Type B, SD 4.0 and microSD 4.0 slots built in, which between them cover nearly every camera you are likely to own…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (455+ words) The 990 PRO is a standard M.2 2280 stick, 80 x 22 x 2.3mm and a maximum of 9g, so it disappears into any slot built for that format. It’s a PCIe 4.0 x4 drive running the NVMe 2.0 protocol, and Samsung sells it in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities, with the 2TB unit…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (581+ words) Most portable SSDs still use USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps, or Gen 2×2 at 20Gbps. USB4 doubles that ceiling again to 40Gbps, matching Thunderbolt bandwidth — and crucially, USB4 is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports, so it works across Mac and Windows without the historical Thunderbolt-only limitation. The…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (544+ words) AOOSTAR has teased a second machine built around AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the NEX395, and it looks rather different from the plain black boxes that dominate this category. What we can say with confidence is limited, but there is one omission…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago   (554+ words) With three M.2 2280 slots running at full PCIe 4.0 x4, you can dedicate one drive to render caches and scratch for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, a second to active projects, and a third to your Lightroom catalogue and archive. All internal, all…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (508+ words) Apple has refreshed the Mac Studio, and the headline for anyone working in video is straightforward: Apple says the top configuration can colour-grade uncompressed 8K footage in real time. The M5 Max model starts at $2,499 — unchanged from its predecessor, which given this…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (711+ words) ACEMAGIC already sells a Strix Halo machine — the M1A Pro+, a near-cube with three drive slots. The F9A is the more interesting one for editors, because it adds the port the M1A Pro+ lacks: OCuLink, for connecting a genuine desktop graphics card. It…...
