Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablet review: a premium experience

It’s a good time for Samsung: they recently released the excellent Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone lineup and the Tab S8 tablet series; they enjoy a comfortable lead in the Android market and constantly push the boundaries of technology with their products. Now, I’m not really a fan of tablets, I think they occupy a precarious space between laptops and smartphones. But I got to

ASUS ROG Desk Mount Kit ACL01 review: Excellent for ROG monitors

There are many models of monitor arms and other types of supports out there. Some are more flexible than others, some more powerful, and some more expensive than you’d think.

Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT review: Affordable graphics card

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is an entry-level gaming graphics card that AMD tried to make as unappealing to crypto miners as possible. However, this meant skipping some of the details that make good graphics cards good! For example, the Radeon RX 6500 XT is limited to 4 PCIe lanes, and it’s equipped with just 4GB of RAM. On the other hand, that RAM

ASUS ROG Strix B660-F Gaming WiFi review: Excellent motherboard!

Up until recently, if you wanted to build a computer based on one of Intel’s Alder Lake processors, your choice was rather limited in terms of motherboards. Z690 mainboards are quite expensive and not everyone can afford them, so once Intel B660 chipset-based motherboards came out, the platform became more accessible. The ASUS ROG Strix B660-F Gaming WiFi seems to be one of the

Review ESET Parental Control: Protecting your children on Android!

The children of today use smartphones and tablets to browse the internet, play games, access all kinds of apps and even chat online. They have access to an entire, albeit virtual, new world.

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050 review: Great for 1080p gaming

Not long ago, NVIDIA announced the launch of the GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. ASUS was one of the first to implement it, creating the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050. Aimed at gamers who play in 1080p resolution, as well as “sensible” gamers who don’t want to spend a fortune on a high-end video card, the RTX 3050 promises a lot. Especially considering that

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G review: the Familiar Edition

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G might be considered as being a strategic error on Samsung’s part: the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup is already here, the S21 and the S21 Plus both offer additional features and performance at a similar price, so the big question is: can the Galaxy S21 FE differentiate itself enough to have any kind of success?

Intel Core i5-12600K review: This year’s best mid-range gaming CPU?

Intel’s Alder Lake architecture is the one that finally brought the company’s processors back in the spotlight. They are now able to compete with AMD’s once again, and people are noticing. Traditionally, Intel’s mid-range processors are the Core i5 models - the ones most of us, at least those who care about price per performance aspect, look for. The latest model, called Intel Core

Sony Xperia PRO-I review: A tool built for professionals

Over the years, Sony’s smartphone division has taken a different approach than most of the other manufacturers. Sony smartphones have unique designs, they innovate, and they have distinct personalities. However, this also has a polarizing effect on potential users: while some fall in love with them, others consider the devices as being awkward and unwieldy. The Xperia PRO-I is no exception. To most, it
