There is no doubt that this is one of the most powerful
laptops on the market today, but before we get stuck into the full review let’s
take a look at what’s powering this beast.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Intel® Core™ i7-6820HK<br />
16GB DDR4 Memory <br />

It is definitely a beast of a laptop and priced so at $3899.
Now we all know that you can get a better performing desktop at these kinds of
prices but that’s not what this about. The GT Titan was in a similar scenario
yet we saw several of those units get sold because they offer a true desktop
replacement for people who are on the move a lot or just like to have a laptop
instead of a desktop as their daily PC.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The outer built of the GT72 is primarily made of plastic yet
it doesn’t feel too flimsy or cheap. It does weigh a fair bit coming in at
about 4KG so that weight does add a slightly more premium feel to the plastic.
A laptop with these guts is definitely not thin and light and the GT72 is a
great example of that. The shape is very similar of that on the GT Titan and
MSI seems to be using similar casing for their entire high end gaming laptops.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Starting off on the screen the GT72 features a G-SYNC
compatible display up to 75Hz. Now that is bloody awesome. 75Hz is the sweet
point in my opinion and makes this almost a picture perfect display. It’s not
as vibrant and colour accurate as IPS displays but it is totally built for the
gamer in mind. The 75Hz G-SYNC displays lets you play pretty much any game
without any tearing or artefacts up to 75fps, with which the GTX 980M does
relatively easily with a lot of todays games</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The GT72 has a plethora of ports all around the unit
including Ethernet, USB3.0 and even USB 3.1 Type C. All the I/O ports on the
laptop is more than sufficient for a gaming laptop and should be enough for all
users. The GT72 does also come with a built-in Blu-ray drive. I’m not sure as
to why we’re still seeing optical drives inside these laptops. It should be
time where laptop manufacturers include the optical drive as an external drive
or just don’t include one at all. There aren’t a lot of reasons to need an
optical drive these days so it should slowly be phased out.</div>

laptops and does feature the standard RGB backlit keys. The software included
does let you change between a few different lighting options. I would like to
see a few more options and just an overall better software experience from
SteelSeries. The software and setting options hasn’t changed much over the
years so it does feel like they’ve been a little lazy on further developing
these technologies. The keyboard itself isn’t the greatest keyboard out there
but it’s probably just me being used to mechanical keyboards so much.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keeping up with software discussions the GT72 doesn’t come
with too many bloatware but it is still there and gets very annoying very
quickly (I’m talking to you Norton 360). Norton 360 was the biggest pain of
them all constantly popping up and asking questions and reminding me I had 14
days to purchase the software before my PC becomes infected (great scare tactic
Norton!). So instead I just proceeded to uninstall Norton all together.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another annoying software package was MSI backup utility.
Even after ticking the ‘don’t annoy me/I’ve already backed up’ option it popped
regularly on occasion. If you do get one of these units for yourself I do
encourage you to totally uninstall some of the bloatware that it comes loaded
with. Totally improves your laptops performance and you’re no longer annoyed by
all the popups.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The performance of this laptop is no less than one would
expect. Booting up is exceptionally quick thanks to that SSD and with the
high-end hardware inside it offers blazingly fast gaming performance. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The GTX 980M and built-in G-SYNC display with 75Hz gives
this laptop an amazing gaming experience. Its super smooth gameplay thanks to
the high-end specs makes this a pretty good gaming machine. If you’re one
looking at getting a gaming machine it will be very hard to overlook the GT72,
sure it’s expensive but you do get quite a few perks that are usually better on
a full sized desktop.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any game I threw at the GT72 it took like a piece of cake.
The Division was solid 60fps at high settings, Unigine averaged 55fps for the
extreme setting and other casual games like Cities Skylines performed
exceptionally well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you get a gaming laptop like this, it’s hard to think
about what kind of extras you’d like to have. It’s got a lot going on inside it
and offers premium gaming features that do come at a premium price though. It’s
hard to think of what more the GT72S needs. It’s an all-round incredible laptop
that will offer you exceptional performance either on a desk, or on the move.</div>

The spec list for the Creative Sound Blaster X7 is quite
extensive so I’m going to have to cut it short just a bit and give you guys the
important stuff. The X7 is an external powered USB DAC & AMP with 2 passive
speaker outputs pumping 100w (2x 50w @ 4Ω). There is an impedance switcher for
4Ω to 8Ω to suit your speakers. The X7 also comes loaded with a 24-bit Sound
Blaster Audio Processor and is certified for Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding. The
high-fidelity DAC supports up to 24-bit/192kHz which should suit any type of
user. The built-in 600Ω Headphone amp delivers powerful and pristine audio with
enough power to drive high end headphones. The X7 also comes with some standard
Creative feature sets like CrystalVoice™. As an added sweetener the X7 also
comes with built-in Bluetooth which can be connected to a mobile device with
the software that lets you control the settings on the X7 all through your
mobile device, pretty neat feature and with my experience, seems to work quite
well!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alright so let’s have a look at the physical unit, around
the front side you’ll find a large round knob which is your volume controller,
dual-array mic just below that and microphone and headphone input/outputs.
You’ll find 2 headphone outputs for both 3.5mm and 6.3mm headphone jacks. The
front is basic, clean and simple. My only gripe with the front would be the
volume knob, it doesn’t have much weight to it and no start and end point,
there’s also no click or any sorts of force feedback to give a bit of extra
feeling to the knob.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Around the back is where you’ll find all your outputs (and inputs).
Starting at the top you’ll find 2 passive speaker outputs for a pair of
bookshelf speakers. This is where my first gripe with the X7 begins. Creative
should’ve ditched the passive speakers for a pair of TRS outputs for powered
monitor speakers. This would be much more appealing to audio professionals who
generally run powered monitor speakers. The good news for gamers is the X7 does
come with surround sound outputs to suit pretty much any generic speakers
system on the market.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for inputs you get a standard optical and RCA suitable
for game consoles and external media players. You’ll also find a neat little
headphone stand which attaches into the rear of the X7. It’s nothing special
and just a simple single piece of metal rod but it adds a good look and
definitely comes in handy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Luckily for I was also provided with a pair of E-MU XM7
bookshelf speakers which is touted to be the perfect companion for the Sound
Blaster X7. The XM7’s kind of both impressed and left me wanting more. Don’t be
worried about the compact size, the XM7’s are LOUD, very loud in fact and will
definitely be a huge upgrade over the standard surround systems going around
these days. They do however lack good bass response. With 5” speakers its
already expected that you’re not going to be getting a bassy sound, but the
XM7’s don’t handle it well and if you don’t have a subwoofer connected the X7
it can start to get a tinny sounding at high volumes. Which leads me to my next
point, you have to connect a subwoofer to the X7 to really enjoy the XM7’s. the
XM7’s are a good mix between a standard hifi system and proper studio
monitoring speakers. I pitched the XM7’s against my personal KRK Rokit’s and
although the XM7’s aren’t as refined and flat sounding as the KRK’s, they do
offer a better ‘hifi’ experience, they’re louder and have a wider stereo sound.
This is good for people who are intending to use this more for a gaming and
entertainment setup.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The X7 with the built-in mic also gives you an awesome upper
hand. If you’ve got a high end pair of headphones chances are it aren’t going
to have a mic. The beauty in the X7 is the built-in microphone which can be
setup to record just in your direction, eliminating external sounds. By having
a quality mic built the X7 allows you keep your current high end headphones
without the need to buy another separate mic device. The built-in microphone is
very clear, concise and will an awesome job for in-game chat, live broadcasting
and even YouTube videos.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What the Creative Sound Blaster X7 provides is an all-in-one
like entertainment hub. It’s got enough inputs and outputs to connect all your
needed accessories all packaged in a neat USB case. The X7 is however powered
by a wall outlet so it will chew up one of those. My only other gripe with the
X7 is the software, not so much the interface software (which is actually very
good) but the ASIO drivers. When I picked up the Creative Zx Sound Card one of
the first things I noticed was a lack of ASIO drivers and constant hissing,
buzzing and cracks. They eventually added in ASIO support but by the time that
happened I had already moved on. With the X7 although it comes with ASIO
drivers, something just isn’t right about it. Cubase simply didn’t like it and
was causing constant errors, hangs and crashes and was generally a pain to work
with. It does feel like Creative haven’t really put too much effort into their
ASIO drivers which is a real shame because their high end boards like the Zx
and ZxR have potential to be great devices for both gamers and audio producers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The software of the X7 is really well made and a huge
improvement over the original software that came with the Zx series cards. The
menus are clear, easy to understand and have plenty of options to suit all
types of users. Personally I turned off all effects and SBX Pro Studio filters,
I found them all to water the sound down too emphasizing certain frequencies
too much over others and generally just giving a muddy sound.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall you’re probably asking yourself is it worth it? Well
that depends on what gear you have right now and what you’d like to achieve. Do
you want an external soundcard that delivers exceptional sound? Do you have a
high end headphone and need something good enough to power them? Do you want
the best experience in games and entertainment? Do you want to connect a
console or media player to your speakers?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you answered ‘maybe’ or ‘yes’ to any of those questions
then the Creative Sound Blaster X7 is probably suited for you. It is on the
pricey side, however it does offer a whole lot more features than your standard
sound card, it’s also external which is good for those with small cases or
those running multiple GPU’s. the Sound Blaster X7 will be your long term sound
card, it’s got enough features to be future proof for a while and it performs
great. There’s a big chance your current speakers will work with the X7 so you
won’t need to fork out extra for the XM7 bookshelf speakers which is a great
plus. Make sure to consider the Creative Sound Blaster X7 for your next
upgrade.</div>

The Corsair Carbide Series Quiet 600Q is Corsair’s first foray
into the world of Inverse ATX chassis. We’ll talk about Inverse layouts later
on but first let’s talk about this case. The 600Q is the quiet version with
solid panels and sound dampening material through the interior side panels. There’s
also a 600C model which comes with a windowed side panel reminiscent of the 760T. </div>

The Corsair Carbide 600Q is a full-tower ATX case with some
neat features including a minimalist design, sound dampening for quiet
operation, steel exterior, fully supports custom water-cooling rigs and is easy
to clean with its removable dust covers.</div>

looking. The black steel gives it a very elegant look with just a small Corsair
sail logo on the front bottom. Along the top you’ll find your standard buttons
and switches including 4x USB ports and a handy fan controller switch to go
between 5, 7 and 12v. A simple fan controller like this adds a lot of value to
cases and it’s something a lot of popular models lack so good to see Corsair
including it on the 600Q. Still on the exterior the finish of the case does leave
room for a lot of finger prints and general smudge to stick on, it’s a bit of a
magnet for smudge marks so if that bothers you, you’ll find yourself wiping it
down a few times. Luckily it comes off pretty easily with a damp cloth.</div>

Going down the front of the case the entire front panel
comes off to access the front fan mounts and dust filter. This also leads us to
the interior where things get a little bit more interesting.</div>

So the idea of inverse ATX is pretty simple, flip the motherboard
tray upside down. That’s pretty much all it is, whether it has any thermal
improvements is up for argument but it doesn’t look like there to be much of an
improvement. What you do get however similar to the Air 540 is the chamber with
the airflow coming in from the front to directly sweep over the GPU and CPU
area. The bottom of the interior does come with full radiator support up to
360mm, whether you have it in push or pull is really up to you in this case but
either way shouldn’t really matter. By being on the bottom you do have the
advantage of the radiator sucking in fresh cool air so that’s something to
think about. The bottom of the case does have large feet which do lift it off
the ground quite high enough for you to use it in either push or pull. The full-sized
dust filter that runs along bottom also helps the case avoid mass dust attacks.</div>

The top area of the case is accessible from the rear of the
case which houses the 5.25” bays, PSU, SSD mounts and the 2 hard drive bays. In
picture the rear of the case looks perfect, but closer inspection does show
some weak points. First having only 2 hard drive bays, similar to the Air 540
which only has 2 drives the 600Q follows those footsteps. If you have an extra-long
PSU you may find installing that plus any optical drives could be a bit cramped
up in that space. Personally I don’t use internal optical drives anymore like
many others so that one shouldn’t be too much of an issue. The Air 540 with its
similar design was the only reason I didn’t go that route and it seems like
Corsair has done the same thing for its first generation of a new model.
Hopefully future revisions of the Air 540 and 600Q offer more drive bays.</div>

expect from Corsair, it’s very well built and a solid design. Not a lot of warping
with this case. Installing a system in the 600Q is relatively simple but could
be a bit off a brain teaser due to its flipped nature. Some people may not also
like the fact that all your shiny gear will be upside down but then again this
is the solid panel version of the case so you won’t be seeing the internals
which makes it a great PC for a bedroom or even a HTPC.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
None the less one can’t ignore the simple elegance of the
600Q. It’s super slick, quiet and built to fit into any room.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So who is this case for exactly? Well if you're looking for an upgrade to something 'different' then this is what the 600Q offers. As long as you're comfortable with the hard drive drawbacks the Corsaor Carbide 600Q will give your system a 'wow' factor while offering full performance capabilities. </div>

When the laptop was brought to my desk my initial thought
was ‘ahh another new MSI laptop’. At that point I didn’t even look at the specs
or model of the power laptop that was in my possession. It was only a few days
later did I realise this was the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 4K Gaming Laptop.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First off let’s take a look at the rap sheet of the GS60

laptop models and why shouldn’t it be, they’ve all got a premium feeling with a
mix of matte and glossy black accents highlighting the packages sleek and premium
price point. Speaking of price the GS60 Ghost Pro is tagged at $2899 which is a
fair chunk out of anyone wallets but in retrospect if you’re looking for an
average sized laptop with the power close to that of a desktop system it does
offer great value.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The GTX 970M is a fantastic mobile GPU and coupled with
Intel latest Skylake processors give the product an acceptable life span.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvT_EbfTGajhxY0UpQzwpvQVUCvgfBtiPQ9HIr9rimymdhAk3-1IbG5cnispwZx2yIYOoLkF9bwWdyTkpygxuAnZgduhZ4jB5q6w6XiXHIA2M3nnc12N707MTROC63Pg5HQlHIxOCBwRo/s1600/MSI+GS60+6QE+-+05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvT_EbfTGajhxY0UpQzwpvQVUCvgfBtiPQ9HIr9rimymdhAk3-1IbG5cnispwZx2yIYOoLkF9bwWdyTkpygxuAnZgduhZ4jB5q6w6XiXHIA2M3nnc12N707MTROC63Pg5HQlHIxOCBwRo/s200/MSI+GS60+6QE+-+05.jpg" width="200" /></a>The design of the Ghost Pro doesn’t vary too much with other
similar models; you’ve got a couple of USB ports next to the audio jacks and
power port on one side and on the other your Ethernet, display port, HDMI, card
reader and even a USB Type C port. For the beefy internals the MSI GS60 Ghost
Pro is definitely on the lighter side of laptops weighing in at just 2KG with
the battery.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are vents all along the sides and rear and bottom of
the laptop and rightly so because under gaming it can get a bit warm. Luckily
the clever design means you don’t feel this heat throughout the wrist rests
which let you game comfortably for longer periods.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The keyboard is pretty comfortable to type on and look at.
It is powered by SteelSeries and comes with its software engine for
customization including LED controls.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On to the audio of the device, the GS60 does come with
Nahimic software which has a handful of options to suit your taste. I turned
off all the options (Virtual Surround, Frequency Leveler, Volume Boost, Reverb
& Voice Clarity) I found all them to make the audio sound worse. The audio
is surprisingly good when all of it is turned off so I would highly recommend
it.</div>

With a GTX
970M under the hood you do get a decent amount of graphics horsepower on the
move. The 4K display will be a bit too much for certain games at the full
resolution however, games like Call of Duty Ghosts managed to play at 2K
resolution<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with a steady 60FPS. Games
like DOTA, Counter Strike and even sim games like Cities Skylines & SimCity
should be able to run a breeze on the Ghost Pro. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The whole time writing this review I’ve been trying to think
of what I don’t like about the unit aside from its high price. I’m still not
sold on 4K for laptops so that would probably be the only thing I’d say going
against it. You could probably save a significant amount of money on this unit
if it was a standard 1080p display. Better yet I’m still waiting to see a 1440p
laptop display, I think that’s what I would like to really see and would tip me
over the edge in getting a gaming laptop.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, when it comes to the software side of things MSI
really need to cool it with the amount of pre-loaded software, it’s probably
the only let down and nuisance on the laptop.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 4K offers an exceptional
laptop with the latest internals coupled with a traditional MSI exterior
design. Its superfast, loaded with Windows 10 and ready to game on. The extreme
lightweight design of the GS60 allows you to carry the laptop with you around
all day; although you may need to tag along your charger as a laptop with this
much power doesn’t last long on battery. None the less the MSI GS60 6QE-055 Laptop delivers blazing fast gaming and general performance packaged in a portable and attractive design. MSI keeps pushing the boundaries for their laptop and the GS60 is no exception to this.</div>

The Cooler Master MasterCase 5 Pro is a mouthful to
pronounce with a mouthful set of features to back it up with. The MasterCase 5

<div class="MsoNormal">
It all seems quite standard on paper but it’s what’s inside
that matters. With its FreeForm™ Modular System the MasterCase 5 lets you
adjust the exterior structure and aesthetic via a range of replacement panels
and doors. Each choice changes the look and feel of the case, but also the
flexibility of the interior layout.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not only does the case come almost completely apart but it
also features built-in clip-and-click panel which lets your move around your
hard drives to suit your setup, or completely remove the bays and use the space
for water cooling components. You’ll also find a space saving 2-bay drive cage in
front of the PSU area as well as 2 SSD’s on top of the PSU cover which can be
also mounted on the backside of the motherboard tray.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

need it. For example you can add on another 3-bay drive cage which costs $15 on
the Cooler Master store which is a pretty acceptable asking price if you ask
me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The top of the case is quite handy with a removable water
cooler bracket that lets you mount the radiator outside of the case making
installation that little bit extra; of course you can also completely remove
the bracket and install something totally custom in its space instead. On
either end of the bracket you also get 2 handles which makes moving it around
so easy, handles get a big plus from and I love seeing it incorporated into the
overall design of the case adding both functionality and making it
aesthetically pleasing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The front IO panel features the standard 2x USB3.0 ports,
audio jacks and power buttons. This panel itself can also be modified with
potential USB 3.1/C panels also available from Cooler Master. Going down the
front of the case we see the full mesh front with 2 removable bay covers. All
of this expectedly comes all apart. There are 2x 140mm fans supplied up on the
front with support for 3 in total.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rear features a standard 140mm fan on adjustable rails
to move up and down with 7 expansion slots.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The PSU bay is nicely covered from the outside with thanks
to a black plastic over the transparent window which blocks out the lower
section allowing you to hide the PSU, as always with the MasterCase 5 Pro this
is also changeable with the ability to remove the black plastic to reveal a
completely transparent side panel (the window is slightly tinted so it’s not
completely transparent).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rear side of the motherboard tray reveals some neat
cable management Velcro straps with adequately placed cable management grommets.
Unfortunately it doesn’t feature any cable tie clips so you are stuck with just
the fitted Velcro straps, an overlooked feature which I think is a big miss
from Cooler Master.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Custom, custom, custom. The MasterCase 5 Pro emphasizes
heavily on creating your own look and customizing the case to suit your
personal taste. Not a fan of customizing? That’s also fine, the MasterCase 5
Pro case is a beautifully crafted chassis that holds its own as an amazing part
of any system.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Truth is I’ve been trying to think of some negatives of the
case but none come to mind, it’s exceptionally built with a tonne of internal
features enough for the casual builder or the full blown gaming rigs. Space is
a bit limited by the mid tower categorisation of the case but if you’re looking
to build a powerful gaming rig the Cooler Master MasterCase 5 Pro should
definitely be up top on your list of possibilities with the ability of
customizing it to suit your ideas.</div>

Inspire T6300 and their benchmark speaker the T4 Wireless.</div>

too much to say about these speakers. The T6300 reminded me ever so much of my
set of Inspire 6600 6.1 Speakers. Speakers to this day I still use, the
subwoofer on that old system still comes in handy. The T6300’s reminded me of
the past due its extremely similar sound signature, overall build and design.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Creative 5.1 T6300 is put simply a great choice for
those looking to add a quick 5.1 setup to their PC’s without having to fork out
almost 3 times as much for similar setups, sure for the price you are
sacrificing some quality and packaging perks but the T6300 is never marketed as
being a high end 5.1 solution so you kind of get what you pay for, and what you
get is an extremely satisfying 5.1 audio setup.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The real review here is about the T4 Wireless, something I
have a lot to discuss about. The Creative T4 Wireless is put simply a 2.1
wireless speaker system with NFC and Bluetooth.</div>

shiny box with very un-shiny insides. You’re greeted with a lovely looking
cardboard box that holds all the goodies like the 2 speakers, power cable,
volume hub and remote (unfortunately my demo unit did not come with the remote).</div>

is pretty decent par the volume hub. The volume dial doesn’t have weight behind
and has no start or end so you don’t really know where the volume is actually
set. It does feel quite flimsy at times and could’ve benefited from a more
robust build with some sort of haptic feedback for the volume dial.</div>

represent the price tag the T4 Wireless is asking for.</div>

Setting up the system is as easy as one would expect. Plug
in the power; plug in the speakers with the attached RCA cables to the outputs
of the subwoofer, wire up the volume hub and you’re good to go. The rear of the
subwoofer also features optical input and RCA inputs, changing inputs is simple
as pressing the source button (this is where a remote would’ve been real handy
for me). Without the remote I had to physically press the button on the hub but
don’t stress, if you choose to buy the T4 Wireless (and you should) yours will
come with the remote!</div>

The sound quality on the T4 Wireless is nothing but exceptional is quite
possibly the best sound I’ve heard come out of similar sound setups. The
speaker modules feature audiophile-grade aluminium drivers for full mid-range
and ultra-clear highs giving you exceptional crisp audio. Those speakers
coupled with the compact SLAM (Symmetrically Loaded Acoustic Module) subwoofer
delivers an exceptional sound stage. The subwoofer really packs a huge punch
that’s clean and pure. Watching sports, movies and even tense moments of The
Bachelor really showcase the detail to sound quality on the T4 Wireless.</div>

wireless part. With both NFC and Bluetooth it’s suitable for pretty much any
mobile device you may have. Setup in my living room I had it paired with my
iPhone and it performed no less than I expected. The sound was loud, clear,
packed a huge punch and was just an overall good experience to listen on. The
Bluetooth distance on my iPhone 6 was approximately 10 meters, so just bare
that in mind. The Bluetooth functionality does have aptX for supporting devices
which means your Bluetooth sound will be as good as wired audio and I’ve become
a firm believer of that after both Creative devices performing exceptionally
with it. </div>

lounge room and used it as a sound bar replacement and to be honest, the T4
Wireless is better than a sound bar. It offers an almost identical feature set
for possibly half the price of retail sound bars. As somebody who was
researching which sound bar to purchase, I now have my answer, the Creative T4
Wireless.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall the Creative T4 Wireless is an absolute amazing
piece of audio hardware and it’s easily one of the best audio solutions you can
currently buy on the market today. The 2.1 setup gives you ample volume while
keeping it low profile and space saving.</div>

Creative has been around for quite some time now with the
company’s Sound Blaster range of sound cards being among the world’s first
dedicated audio card for the consumer market. Since then Creative has kept
innovating in market trends with products like Speakers, Portable music &
Media players, headsets and most recently their foray into the world of
portable amps & DACs.</div>

Audigy 2 Platinum eX sound card. I paid $420 for it at the time from a local PC
store and it still works to this day (and I continue using it in secondary
systems). Having liked it so much I followed up with a few more Creative
products including the Creative Muvo2<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>4GB, Creative Zen Micro 5GB, Creative Zen Vision W 60GB, Creative
SoundBlaster Fatality, Creative SoundBlaster XiFi Titanium & Creative Sound
Blaster Zx.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve tended to lean towards Creative because it’s never
failed me, always performed exceptionally well and I think it went a bit under
the radar here in Australia and a bit underrated.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
None the less, Creative have entered the world of portable
amps and DACs and I was quite excited to test out what Creative has come up
with. Having owned a few products from big names in the audiophile industry
like FiiO I was a bit nervous for the Sound Blaster E3. It’s a pretty pricey
little thing compared to similar products in its category but does offer some
extras the competition don’t. Let’s see how the SoundBlaster E3 fairs.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The E3 comes in a neat little black box with the product
image across the front and exploded view of the features and functionality on
the back. Inside you’ll find the standard accessories like a 3.5mm audio cable,
OTG USB adapter, USB cable (micro end) and the manuals, and that’s basically
all you really need to get going with the E3.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

outputs (very awesome) USB port for charging/DAC use and a 3.5mm audio jack
input. The sides feature all the buttons which we’ll discuss later, the
belt-clip is on the rear with the CrystalVoice mic on the front with branding.</div>

Performance:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a note, the tests were all conducted on 3 different pairs
of headphones including AKG K701, Audio-Technica M50 & Audio-Technica
ATH-700X.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The E3 is quite small in form factor with a built-on clip-on
to make carrying it around with you easier. The designed portability of the E3
makes it much more suitable for on-the-go users rather than using it as a PC
DAC & Amp. Head-Fi users have also pointed out the high gain on the E3 through
PC makes it unsuitable for high end sensitive headphones. But that’s all to be
expected really, the E3 is made for portability so those looking at the E3
should be considering it as an audio upgrade for the mobile devices.</div>

impressive. It has a very sturdy sound space with excellent lows and very crisp
yet clear mids and highs. I tested the E3 via the aptX Bluetooth functionality.
With aptX you get Bluetooth audio as good as a wired solution and it definitely
attains to that claim. I’ve been pretty sceptical and critical of wireless
audio but I got to give aptX Bluetooth the thumbs up. The Sony Xperia Z2 has
pretty decent on board audio as it is but the E3 took it to a whole new level. Now
in terms of Bluetooth functionality the E3 does have on board buttons including
volume adjustment, play/pause and track skipping, all of which did not work on
an Android device bar the volume buttons. Having said that the box does have
‘Made for iPod, iPhone, iPad’ sticker at the front so it could be simply it
doesn’t support Android devices as well as it does iOS devices which is a bit
of a shame because truthfully Android devices probably need sound quality
improvements much more than iOS devices.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s probably the only really negative thing I have to say
about the Sound Blaster. I have to admit I’m pleasantly impressed with the E3
and although something like a FiiO e17 has better overall sound quality, the
Sound Blaster E3 offers Bluetooth at a similar price which can be a huge
benefit to a lot of users.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsaYHRL6WyjerN5ZQCmcB0LiIOZw_wpTNbvKTAzqd98lEOVKfbd_1Mp7wcGrzuldWgTvVhDcSowug1CX01SG6td2263iyMZTNlg3_0eQveb8FMbgllAKQuk_8aYRcxL9MWGdnFcb8pt34/s1600/Creative+Sound+Blaster+E3+-+07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsaYHRL6WyjerN5ZQCmcB0LiIOZw_wpTNbvKTAzqd98lEOVKfbd_1Mp7wcGrzuldWgTvVhDcSowug1CX01SG6td2263iyMZTNlg3_0eQveb8FMbgllAKQuk_8aYRcxL9MWGdnFcb8pt34/s200/Creative+Sound+Blaster+E3+-+07.jpg" width="200" /></a>Another functionality of the E3 which lacks in competitor
devices is the built-in mic with CrystalVoice. With Bluetooth connectivity and
built-in mic the E3 turns any of your high end headphones into a headset, simply
hold up the E3 towards your mouth and talk away. The E3 lets you do a lot more
than other portable amps & DACs without having you to actually reach for
your phone, a huge plus for public transport users and others who are regularly
on the go.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEZ_qgsxzyuz0wbfpTK6hzoFpYlbe9AorvvKGY6WL5jx99gE4PS8HvIDpHseZew0O7ur_sy9stHKikhVct9N2tp6UbujQgNDNl9OTB3dAvyjfPyGcYCE4WDoLyhOwCU0yniEWoDnSugs/s1600/Creative+Sound+Blaster+E3+-+08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEZ_qgsxzyuz0wbfpTK6hzoFpYlbe9AorvvKGY6WL5jx99gE4PS8HvIDpHseZew0O7ur_sy9stHKikhVct9N2tp6UbujQgNDNl9OTB3dAvyjfPyGcYCE4WDoLyhOwCU0yniEWoDnSugs/s200/Creative+Sound+Blaster+E3+-+08.jpg" width="200" /></a> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For on the go users the Sound Blaster has an advertised
8-hour battery life and in my testings I found that to be reasonably accurate.
If you choose the analogue option the battery goes up a notch to 17 hour usage.
Either way both options should give you an easy day’s usage. Let’s also not
forget the SoundBlaster E3 also has NFC for quick and convenient pairing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

to other similar portable amp & DACs it offers you a substantial feature
boost. With Bluetooth support and built-in mic you can turn any high end
headphone you have into an on-the-go headset. But don’t be put off by the extra
features; you still get the exceptional audio performance boost you would
expect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the Creative Sound Blaster E3 so aggressively priced it
leaves a huge question on the mark-up of the big game players’ products.</div>

Buffalo is back and this time I’ve got my hands on the
CloudStation Duo (also known as the <b>LinkStation™ 420 series)</b>. So what
exactly is the CloudStation? CloudStation goes beyond network hard drives and
simple storage. Each CloudStation is a personal storage solution designed with
you in mind. It is your portal to freely access and share photos, videos, music
and much more with anyone, anywhere through the cloud. </div>

Setting the Linkstation is relatively straight forward.
Simply plug it in as you would any other electrical device and power it on. The
lights will blink for a while it sets everything up, while you wait simply
install the NAS Navigator software on your PC that’s on the same network, once
run the software will automatically search for your Linkstation on the network
and have it all up ready for you. From there simply map the drive to your PC
and your network storage is all up and ready!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s pretty straight forward but don’t worry, if you haven’t
done this before Buffalo does have great documentation to get you going.
Buffalo NAS devices are quite simple and one of the easiest (if not the easiest
NAS to configure). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSyUSepOl4QQmc_uQo4jZAvirGurgc1DIgdccSv32l3vHqxjfuAlmMiScwebQwUK-ZEyGk9HMRua7bK0-8K4kyY0PFo_fmGZrt77_VtlkLrxkXsSgj1jZMh4GtQFF1s3eZe7JGTo4-x9w/s1600/screen-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="139" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSyUSepOl4QQmc_uQo4jZAvirGurgc1DIgdccSv32l3vHqxjfuAlmMiScwebQwUK-ZEyGk9HMRua7bK0-8K4kyY0PFo_fmGZrt77_VtlkLrxkXsSgj1jZMh4GtQFF1s3eZe7JGTo4-x9w/s200/screen-01.jpg" width="200" /></a>Coming pre-loaded with 2x 1TB drives also makes this a
breeze to setup and very simple for any user to get going. The Linkstation 420
is setup up automatically as RAID 0 which means you get that extra speed boost
which helps achieve those 80MB/s write speeds. The RAID configuration can be
changed to RAID 0 if you need the redundancy or JBOD if you’re after basic
storage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Performance of the NAS is quite close to the massive 80MB/s
advertisement that’s plastered on the front of the package. Through my
experiences copying and various sized data I did manage to get consistent
speeds up towards that 80MB/s which is quite handy (your particular network
configuration may render different results).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Functionality of the NAS hasn’t changed much over the years
and truthfully that’s probably just fine as it is. There’s WebAccess which you
can setup through your iOS or Android device which works just as well as it did
years, BitTorrent software built in, DLNA and USB device server. It doesn’t sound
as feature rich as maybe other popular NAS devices but personally for me, I
don’t care too much for those. I just want good solid storage that’s simple to
setup and reliable. The Buffalo Linkstation does exactly that and offers it at
a very competitive price.</div>

The web interface that lets you configure those options is

So whats the final verdict of the Buffalo LinkStation 420?
Well, it’s definitely a good one. It offers simple to use and set network
storage at competive price with a feature set enough for any household or even
small business. Buffalo surprised me the first time round and they’ve
definitely kept up that quality in their newer line of products.</div>

I’ve been waiting a while to get my hands on the world’s
first WQHD G-SYNC display, though I’ve had a chance to play around with it in

the pinnacle of gaming displays, seamlessly combining the latest technologies
and design touches that gamers demand.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This 27-inch WQHD 2560 × 1440 gaming monitor packs in nearly
every feature a gamer could ask for. An incredible 144Hz refresh rate and a
rapid response time of 1ms eliminate lag and motion blur, while an exclusive
Turbo key allows you to select refresh rates of 60Hz, 120Hz or 144Hz with just
one press. The ROG SWIFT contains integrated NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ technology to
synchronize the display's refresh rate to the GPU. This technology eliminates
screen tearing, while minimizing display stutter and input lag to give you the
smoothest, fastest and most breathtaking gaming visuals imaginable.
Connectivity is simple, yet robust, with a single DisplayPort 1.2 port to
enable NVIDIA®G-SYNC™ and dual USB 3.0 ports for convenience.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ASUS-exclusive GamePlus Technology enhances your gaming
experience further by providing you with crosshair overlays for FPS games and
multiple in-game timers for RTS/MOBA games.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ROG Swift has a super-narrow 6mm bezel that begs this
monitor to be used in multi-display gaming set-ups. With VESA wall mount
capability and an ergonomic stand designed with full tilt, swivel, pivot and
height adjustments, the ROG SWIFT is ready for gamers of all shapes and sizes
to game comfortably for hours on end.</div>

That’s basically a rough summary of the feature packed ROG
Swift. Let’s take a look at some of the finer specs in closer detail:</div>

its G-SYNC compatibility coupled with 144Hz display and 1ms response rate.
First thing I will mention is the speed of the monitor. When you push the power
button on the ROG Swift located on the back of the lower right hand side the
display powers on quicker than annythinig you’ve seen before. It still boggles
my mind how quickly this thing powers on! If you ever get to try one hands on,
just reach your hands around the back and give the power button a few clicks,
see what happens!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The design of the ROG Swift is as highly polished off as you’d expect
from Asus. I’ve personally owned over a handful on Asus displays over the years
so the build quality and overall aesthetics of the ROG Swift should be no less
than we expect. The stand comes in a gorgeous black matte finish with a red LED
ring of light that just adds a nice gaming mood to it and personally I’m a huge
fan of anything that comes with LED lighting so it’s a total winner for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The ports on the display are located in a bit of an awkward place and
the awkwardness is elevated by the angled layout of the ports which doesn’t
help its cause too much. Luckily there is a cable management slit within the
stand to thread some of those cables through, it’s quite a narrow slit but it
should be enough for you to fit just enough cables through.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The OSD controls are neatly located on the rear of the lower right hand
side which has its advantages and disadvantages, with one of the latter being
you won’t be able to comfortable adjust the OSD options if you were to have two
or three of these monitors side by side. I think more monitor manufactures need
to look at the DELL U2913WM’s OSD buttons as an example. I own of those DELL
displays and it easily has the best button setup on any monitor I’ve ever used.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">First off let’s talk
about the panel itself, it’s a TN panel. Many criticized the choice of going
with a TN panel (including myself) with such a large price tag, but after using
it personally over a weekend I’ve got to admit this is the best looking TN
panel you will ever use. TN will always be TN but the colour production from
deep blacks to rich and high contrast colours is spectacular for a TN panel.
Asus has really loaded this up with a high quality TN panel and worked their
background magic to make it look as beautiful as it does. </span></div>

<b>144Hz & G-SYNC:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These two have been
reviewed across the internet dozens of times so I don’t need to go into too
much detail. Put simply if you want the best gaming experience or if you’re a
hard-core gamer, the Asus ROG Swift is what you need. You have to play it to
understand how much better games are with G-SYNC and a 144Hz monitor.</span></div>

<b>Bring on much much FPS!</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">To wrap up, the Asus
ROG Swift is potentially the best gaming monitor on the market. It is priced at
a whopping $1000+ but it doesn’t seem to have put people off from purchasing it
as they’re flying off the shelves. Drop the price by 50% and I’d say this is a
monitor that would be owned by the majority of gamers (including myself).</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That last bit,
FreeSync is true, however I was surprised by how little to no reference to it
having it was anywhere near the box or even their website. FreeSync works as
expected with supporting AMD GPU’s so that is all set for it.</span></div>

with the packaging. It comes in a nice and bulky black box. The interior
packaging has sufficient hard foam to protect that pretty screen from damage.
It does come completely disassembled so it will take you a few minutes to put
it together. The build quality is something you’d expect coming out of BenQ’s
XL series. It’s robust with a sturdy stand and great positional options. One of
the awesome things about the BenQ XL2730Z is the added handle on the stand for
when you’re lugging this awesome display with you around LAN’s and gaming
events, pretty neat and a must have on any gaming grade monitor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The monitor itself
has a number of inputs and buttons including a side panel for audio jacks, 2x
USB3.0 ports (so much more useful on the sides) and a profile switches. Speaking
of profiles there’s a also a breakout control box that sits nice in the stand
of the display that also acts as your profile switcher. There are also a number
of different profiles available however I did find myself making adjustments to
every single one to suit my style but this is subjective to personal preference.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

menu navigation wasn’t the greatest and could use some finer detail
improvements. Buttons were very clunky and didn’t have a smooth feel to it. The
support for 100mm VESA mounts is great and is always a welcome feature on any
monitor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The BenQ XL2730Z is
loaded with a 2560x1440 panel resolution and I’ve said this a number of times
with it currently being my favourite resolution to use, in both gaming and
casual use. For me personally at this time of our tech it strikes and awesome
balance between screen real estate and gaming performance. I think 4K still has
a good 12 months before it becomes a viable option to go with. (and until
Microsoft fixes Windows text scaling).</span></div>

primarily targeted to gamers and I do see why. The monitor with its FreeSync
and 144Hz refresh rate is perfect for hard-core and competitive gamers,
although even if you’re just a casual gamer you will definitely appreciate the
144Hz refresh rate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Truthfully, other
entertainment things aren’t so entertaining on this monitor. Things like movies
and other photo related activities fall short from the BenQ’s TN panel. But this
is the compromise you make switching to a faster & competitive panel. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Overall the BenQ
XL2730Z offers superior gaming performance for those who seek it. 1440p
resolution, 1ms GTG response, FreeSync plus more, this monitor dishes up all
the things needed to perform in a competitive gaming. Priced at $799 it is a
decent chunk out of your wallet but it does give you the competitive edge you
need.</span></div>

MSI have yet again gone and brought us something new to
tinker with here in the office.. The GS30 is a high end portable laptop with a
docking station that includes internally a full sized PCI-e x16 slot, 3.5” SATA
slot and 450w power supply. On the outside of the dock you’re greeted with
addition 4 USB3.0 ports, Killer Gb LAN port, audio jacks and stereo speakers.</div>

It’s an interesting piece of tech to review; the demo unit
they sent us does feature a full-sized MSI GTX 980 so at its time it is a
pretty high end gaming machine. But we’ll get to the dock a bit later one.
First let’s take a look at the actual laptop and the kind of power it holds in
its super sleek, lightweight and crafted LED display edge lights.</div>

It’s
sleek, covered in black and features a darkened Intel Core i7 sticker. The GS30
is executed in a manner which all manufacturers should look up to (Including
MSI themselves in regards to a few of their other models). It isn’t plaster
with colourful branding stickers bragging about the feature sets and doesn’t
contain too many different colours over the chassis. To be honest there’s not
really too many bad things to say about the overall external design of the
GS30, it keeps it simple and does a good job. Unfortunately for me, I like it a
bit too much, it’s the kind of laptop I would take around with me on a daily
basis, then when I get home, I can plug it into the powerhouse docking unit
(subject to what GPU you put in it).</div>

This is where things kick off for the GS30. With a full

laptop the extreme. Aside from the GPU you can stick in here you’ve also got
room for an additional hard drive for the added local storage when you’re back
on the dock.</div>

words. It’s hard to describe what and how this laptop feels like to use, the
only thing that I can say about it is that I really like it. It can totally
double as a desktop replacement with the docking box while being an amazing
on-the-go laptop. Stick as powerful of a GPU in it as you like, with the extra
USB ports and LAN ports on the dock just connect up a few monitors with the GPU
and it becomes your new desktop gaming PC.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The downside to such a unit is the $2500 asking price; add a
high end GPU to that and you’re looking at $3000+ for a new PC. On the plus
side, for $3000 you do almost get 2 complete machines powerful enough to run
practically anything you want.</div>

for half the price and almost similar performance, the MSI GS30 Shadow is a
super close 2<sup>nd</sup>. Is 2015 the year of MSI laptops?</div>

It’s a gaming headset that mimics a mechanical owl in its
design philosophy. Don’t let that cheesy explanation put you off. The Asus
Strix Pro is genuinely a gaming headset you should keep an eye out on (even I’m
surprised by that comment).</div>

and AKG K501 which are right up there in terms of sound quality and performance
but comparing those to the Strix Pro is like apples and bananas. The Asus Strix

The Strix Pro is powered by two thunderous 60mm drivers and
yeah I will admit they are pretty thunderous, they’re loud and comforting. It
also features noise cancellation with the included USB adapter, supports
multiple platforms like PC, Mac PS4 and even smartphones.</div>

Nothing special with the Strix Pro Gaming Headset packaging,
as expected although for the price tag I would have liked to seen a big better
quality plastic used for the headset holder. It does come with an accessory box
which does feel a bit nifty but nobody will really care, it’s just a box. </div>

While on my
head I do feel it occasionally getting in the way or rubbing up on my shoulders
with a jacket on so if you’re planning on using this on the road keep that in
mind. Putting the headphone it does have an incredibly strong clasp so people
with big heads might feel the squeeze a bit, however on the good side the
spring loaded adjustments do go down enough to fit evenly over my head
(something regular readers would know from the SteelSeries reviews). </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
To be honest, I was expecting this to be another average run
of the mill headset with lacklustre performance and all-round boring
performance, I was wrong. It’s loud and covers enough of the audio spectrum to
provide a comfortable and pleasurable listening experience. It isn’t perfect,
the lower end is a bit muddy and can sound a bit dirty but it doesn’t affect
the overall quality too much.</div>

balance for gaming. With the detachable microphone it does offer quite decent
value for money in performance for the gamer.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I mixed up some music listening with some compressed,
uncompressed, YouTube and even original material in Cubase and though it’s
definitely not a headset to use for monitoring jobs it does give a lot to learn
from with regular listening.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a loud and fun gaming headset to listen with. It’s not
perfect and does have a few design flaws like the over-sized cups however it
still provides exceptional comfortable with solid all-round listening
experience. Gamers on the market will appreciate the multiple use options for
this headset so it’s definitely one to consider for your next upgrade.</div>

It feels good and solid in the hand and looks equally impressive. The NAS comes with a removable front panel which simply plugs into the front of the NAS by the power of 4 rounded rubber locks which acts as a sound dampening tool as well, neat! Removing the cover reveals the 4 bays with removable drive racks in a vertical state. The drive caddies themselves are clean and simple to install. Removable clips on the sides of the cages assist with installing your hard drives without the need for any tools.</div>

At the front of the NAS you’ll find a single USB2.0 port, power button and LED’s for the disks and status.</div>

What really pays off with the DS415+ is the software. I’ve come across many NAS systems in the past but Synology so far has always been up there as the best. It’s simple, very easy to use, quick to learn and efficient. It has a plethora of server options for you to install and access should you wish (Plex, iTunes etc) and lets you do it with relative ease. Even somebody with not the greatest tech knowledge will be able to quickly learn and achieve what they want to accomplish.</div>

The DiskStation DS415+ does a good job of handling multiple streams from multiple sources with ease, as always the performance of the NAS will be subject to your network strength, the better network hardware you have, the better this will perform.</div>

first take a look what’s inside:</div>

You
wouldn’t guess this is a $2000 tablet/laptop by its packaging which is somewhat
of a letdown, but that’s how Toshiba have been doing it for quite some time now
so we don’t expect anything different. Good news is there is proper decent
protection within the packaging so those getting it shipped shouldn’t have too
much worry about damage in transit.</div>

But it doesn’t only look
good it also feels good which is just as important. If you’re going to drop
this much bunch of cash onto one of these units you’re going to want to have
that premium feel to it, and the Z20t definitely delivers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the best-selling points of this device are the number
of ports it comes with. On both the dock and tablet itself there are more ports
than you will ever concurrently need but they’re there just in case. This is no
1-port laptop; there are enough ports to let you connect almost anything you
desire from projectors to hard drives and TV’s.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The display itself looks pretty enough and has very good
touch response. The 1080p resolution is a key point over similar 10-12” tablets
and those with this device will reap those benefits.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Performance:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Powered by an Intel Core M processor, it isn’t the fastest
of CPU’s, but what it does give you is incredible power to battery ratio. With
both the dock and tablet powered by their own batteries you can get a reported
up to 17hours with the dock or 9 hours with just the tablet. With general web
surfing, a few YouTube videos and the odd application here and there these
targets are comfortable achievable. I was putting it some light work every
night by just using it as an iPad replacement infront of the TV to chat away on
Facebook and do a few emails for a few hours every night and the batteries even
after a week or so didn’t drop under 30%. Admittedly I didn’t do anything
strenuous on the device it still did provide great battery life.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Ultimately what the Toshiba Z20T has become is a perfect solution
for both your laptop and tablet replacement. With the dock it has the battery
and comfort of a portable sized powerful laptop and in tablet mode it is light
enough to carry around the house with you easily while still providing
excellent battery life and all round pleasant experience.</div>

<b>Conclusion: </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What will turn buyers off the most is undoubtedly the price,
but if you look at the long run, it isn’t that bad.</div>

or desktops you have running Windows can easily be transferred to the Z20T.
Windows OneDrive has come a long way and the Z20T was made for it. Whatever you
were doing on your laptop or desktop, you can simply continue doing on the
Z20T.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a laptop, and a tablet. It’s powerful, portable and has
a battery life to match most high end tablets on the market and easily outruns
any standard sized laptop. It's built extremely well and will come to good use for those looking for power and portability.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Stock standard SSD packaging with the Crucial MX200 500GB.
Nothing spectacular from any other SSD boxes but it does have quite a polished
and durable design to it. The SSD does sit in plastic protection housing
instead of foam but I don’t think it will make much of a difference.</div>

With advertised read speeds up to 555MB/s and 500MB/s
for write it achieves speed very close to these numbers in real world tests.
For me, this SSD was about using it as a games drives for my installs. Games
loaded faster and it was definitely a enlightening experience with games
loading up in seconds. Even games like Civilisation were no match for the
Crucial MX200 500GB SSD. It’s simply fast and reliable.</div>

this behemoth router. The box is elegantly designed with double layer foam
around the insides ensuring even something heavy or sharp hitting it should
keep the router itself pretty safe from damage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Opening the box reveals the bright red triangular shaped top
section of router meticulously positioned inside its custom foam box. I was
surprised by how much space the router itsel;f actually takes. It really
demonstrates the size of the router.</div>

from all angles is the best description I can give this router. You will need
some decent storage space to put this router keeping in mind positioning to
ensure best WiFi coverage, which in reality shouldn’t be an issue thanks to its
well built and durable 6 antennas. Over previous large AC routers the D-Link
DIR-890L does offer better build quality with a more solid build of its
antennas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rear of the DIR-890L features a WAN port to connect your
modem to, 4x gigabit Ethernet ports, a pair of USB ports (1x USB3.0, 1x
USB2.0), AC plug, power button, reset pinhole and WPS button.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am impressed with the build quality of the DIR-890L, it
offers a much more premium feel than the majority of its competitors which
should be standard for a circa $300 router only device</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Without making any changes or playing with settings I simply
plugged in the power, connected the router to my switch and let it do the rest
itself. It was up in less than a minute and I connected to it via its
predefined WiFi setup (the details of the pre-configured WiFi comes as a
sticker attached to the top of the router).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s fast, which was really never going to be an issue. The
big test for this router was stability and reliability. It was up against my
personal Asus RT-N56U which I’ve been using for the past 3 years for the simple
fact it is one of the best routers out there. It’s never given me a dropout or
issue over the past 3 years so the D-Link 890L had a fair bit to live up to,
and it did so very well.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Streaming across the house was a breeze and even handled
multiple streams very well. I tested it with a mixed level of content ranging
from YouTube HD streaming, Plex Full-HD streaming and AppleTV iTunes streaming.
It handled it all with ease, at the same time. Throughout the week it was in my house it didn't drop out, didn't time out and didn't have any issues with other devices in my network. </div>

Distance with the 890L should not be an issue with any
house. As long as it is wisely located to a more central location, even large
homes should be able to access the net at full speed.</div>

of your WiFi. Standard modem/router combos often do the job but handle multiple
WiFi streams badly. With more and more of our devices requiring some sort of
WiFi connectivity and even with major streaming service like Netflix and Presto
becoming more and more popular people will be looking for ways to stream these
services to the TV’s and mobile devices easily and without hiccups. The D-Link
DIR-890L will let you do all the above and more. It’s built to handle the needs
of busy WiFi households, with 6 high-gain antennas and triple-band WiFi, the
DIR-890L has the juice to power your entire WiFi needs.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Packaged in a much more deluxe box to its V3 smaller sibling
the Siberia Elite Prism is all-round headset packed into a comically large
design. There’s no shortage of praise for the build quality of the Elite Prism
(as we’ve now come to expect as a standard feature from SteelSeries headsets).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

and giggle. The oversized yet extremely comfortable cups do add a bit of humour
to the design and does look slightly distracting on ones head. If you wear
these on public transport be careful not to smack another commuter across the
face with the ever so large cups. The size of the Elite Prism is a bit larger
than the V3 so larger heads should be ok with the sizing but it could have used
a little bit extra just to make it sit just a tad bit better on your head.</div>

The LED lighting effects can be controlled via the
SteelSeries Engine 3 to go between numerous options, including ones that were
left out of the Siberia V3 for some reason including Breathing & Volume
Triggered. The software itself has a very clean interface and easy to navigate
with simple and quick EQ controls and mic settings with added Dolby Headphone
option.</div>

Siberia V3. The sound quality is much more balanced and offers great response
over all frequencies but it does require a firmware update (sound was pretty
awful before the firmware update) which was done all through the SteelSeries
Engine 3, which leads me to add the SteelSeries Engine has got to be one of the
best software packaged I’ve come across for products like these. Gaming
products tend to have very flamboyant and excessively designed interfaces that
just plain don’t work or is a nightmare to work in, the SteelSeries Engine however
is extremely clean interface, simple to use and it just plain works as it
shows. Kudos for SteelSeries on that one, it’s definitely something to consider
when purchasing a USB-enabled headset (settings won’t take effect under 3.5mm
connection).</div>

Music, movies and games were all a pleasure to listen and
with multiple plug options and adapters it is usable on platforms like Windows,
Mac, iOS, Android and PS4. Bass on the Elite Prism is much more defined and
cleaner than its V3 counterpart but lacks solid ear rumbling lows which for
most should be still comfortable to listen on (EQ is there for that reason).</div>

3,5mm off a FiiO X3 Player the headset performed pretty evenly and is a pretty
ideal daily headset to use if you have the space to carry and pack it. It’s not
foldable and does not come with a pouch or bag so you will need to consider
storage before hauling it around places.</div>

quality, the Siberia Elite Prism however is where the price difference kicks in
and you get yourself a precisely crafted gaming headset. One thing I would say
to SteelSeries is, drop the Dolby. It doesn’t really add anything necessary and
the quality stereo setup of the headset is finely tuned enough to not need it. It
is a precisely engineered piece of gear that is super comfortable and has the
juice to make it a worthy investment choice.</div>

design that is both flexible and durable while still offering the legendary
comfort of the Siberia series. The iconic Siberia suspension headband returns
offering enduring, lightweight comfort for hours of gaming. Powerful, next-gen
SteelSeries speaker drivers deliver rich, detailed sound for enhanced gameplay.
Noise reducing memory foam ear cushions aid in isolating the natural sounds and
powerful bass while keeping out outside noise. A retractable, flexible
crystal-clear microphone can be muted with the flip of a switch behind the ear
cup. A PC adapter and a universal 3.5mm plug means Siberia v3 plays nice on
nearly all gaming systems and devices.</div>

the 2<sup>nd</sup> part of that statement is left a bit short from me due to
the fact the headband isn’t long enough for it to sit comfortable on my head. Around
the office was a similar issue with the Siberia V3 more suited for younger
gamers (or people with smaller heads than us here in the office). The cups
themselves are very comfortable and will not distract you for lengthy listening
periods. The build quality and overall design of the Siberia V3 is unchanged
since its first iteration and continues to be top in its class.</div>

SteelSeries Engine 3 to go between a constant colour to an interchanging glow

The
headphone lacks quality and clean lows and generally sounds a bit muddy
listening to music and movies. It does a good job with games with the lack of a
clean crisp sound often helping in the player getting a bit more immersed in
the game. Compared to similar headphones around the $165 mark the Siberia V3
does fall short in performance at times. The lack of 3.5mm adapter also means
you won’t be using these in your portable devices anytime soon. The microphone
is good and should be a pretty sweet tool for gamers across multiple platforms
(currently supports Windows, Mac and PS4)</div>

<b>Conclusion:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re after a decent sounding headphone with 2<sup>nd</sup>
to none comfort then the Siberia V3 is the one to consider. Although it does
leave a desire for slightly more bass and overall cleaner sound if you want
something strictly for gaming and need it to be as comfortable as possible for
as long as possible then the V3 is where you should be putting your money.</div>

On October 31<sup>st</sup>, 2014 MSI announced its latest
gaming notebook dubbed the GT80. At first glance the unusual and different
layout of the keyboard was an early indicator that this wasn’t going to be just
an ordinary gaming notebook. Joint engineering with SteelSeries the MSI GT80
Titan is the world’s first notebook with a backlit mechanical keyboard fitted
with Cherry switches. But it didn’t stop there, throw in dual NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 980M and the best and latest mobile CPU from Intel.</div>

We received an engineering sample from MSI so the packaging
was pretty standard laptop style but I’m sure the full retail versions will
offer much more to the customers who buy this beast!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With a screen sized 18.4” the GT80 Titan SLI is a big unit,
but the screen size isn’t what makes it the monolithic size it is. The sheer
parts inside this beast coupled with a mechanical keyboard makes it a beefy
monster that will trouble the strongest of guys carrying it around.</div>

The sides of the GT80 contain 5x USB3.0 ports, audio jacks
and an optical output. Towards the back of the sides you’ll find two large
vents which exhaust an incredible amount of air. Be sure to keep these vents
cleared of any objects that aren’t fond of heat. The GT80 produces and
incredible amount of heat but the cooling does an incredible job on getting all
that hot air out.</div>

Along the top you’ll find the SteelSeries mechanical
keyboard with Cherry Brown switches which is my personal favourite switch so I
did find it quite pleasing that they opted for browns. It gives you the tactile
feel without the ‘click’ of Blues. The placement of the mechanical keyboard is
towards the edge of the laptop to accommodate for the switches and plethora of
hardware housed in the GT80. However, I did find the placement to heavily
compliment the 18.4” sized display when gaming. It meant that you could
comfortable sit back and game like you would using a standard keyboard and
desktop with the 18.4” sized display perfectly coupling the distance you would
normally be using the GT80. The 18.4” display is vibrant and good enough
display for casuals and professionals; however with the dual 980M’s in here it
would have been nice to have a 1440p display option (no 4K for me). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next to the keyboard you’ll find a cleverly designed digital
trackpad. When lit up the trackpad acts as a number pad, click the ‘NUM’ button
on the trackpad and the lights turn off and it now acts as a mouse trackpad.
The trackpad itself is a bit of an awkward location but with a laptop this size
most users will find themselves using as USB or wireless mouse so it’s not
really that big of a deterrent. Above the number pad are the only physical
buttons with the power, GPU switch and fan controller. The fan controller only
allows you to switch between full speed or auto control.</div>

The rear of the unit keeps it basic with air vents on either
side, 2 mini Display Ports, HDMI, Ethernet port and a large 4-pin power jack
accompanied with a huge 360w power brick. The power brick is big and does get
warm so always remember to keep it well ventilated. The lid is presented in a
faux brushed aluminium and has a clean look to it, just be cautious though as many
of the surfaces on the GT80 Titan is a magnet for fingerprints. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The back side of the display has a gently
illuminated logo that adds a subtle classy touch to the overall design.</div>

find a removable cover that reveals just some of the powerful internals
including the DVD drive, a 4x m2 SSD’s and a mechanical hard drive. You see
glimpses of the GPU’s and CPU but all those components are revealed more on the
bottom side of the unit.</div>

The performance of this laptop is what makes it come to
life. No matter what game I threw at it (aside from a few AAA titles) it
managed to hold up ultra-graphics at comfortable 100fps+. Playing games on this
laptop truly felt like a full desktop experience. It looked good and performed
amazingly well. The concerning thing was the total underutilization of the GPU’s
for most parts which can be partially put on lack of driver updates. In the
coming months with NVIDIA’s strong driver support and updates I do expect the
GT80 to push performance even more with future updates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gaming was comfortable and pleasantly comfortable with the
large screen and mechanical keyboard, the laptop did remain pretty cool with
GPU temps hovering around 70-75 degrees on load. The keyboard area remained
cool with means you can game on the GT80 for prolonged times without the need
to worry about sweaty palms. The placement of the keyboard is definitely a win
for MSI and I would like to see more gaming focused laptops to adopt a similar
style.</div>

One of the key things MSI has done with the MSI GT80 Titan
is open the path for future upgrades. With promised GPU upgrades for at least
the next 2 GPU cycles you’re looking at a laptop than can last for a solid 5
years (if not, much longer). With most of the other internals being upgradeable
or changeable it does give the customer pretty open options to play with.</div>

The biggest and most talked about thing about the MSI GT80
Titan SLI however, is the price tag. At $6299 it’s priced as much as a small
vehicle so you have to really ask yourself if this is something you actually
need. For hard-core gamers or even people who do a lot of travelling and aren’t
happy with their under $1000 modest laptop, this could be an option for you.
Sure, it’s a massive investment, but some people do travel a lot and want that
full gaming experience wherever they go. Unfortunately no other laptop other
than the MSI GT80 Titan SLI will give you that. It simple is the most powerful
and convenient gaming laptop on the market.</div>

When doing these reviews I always ask myself what would I
change if I were to build this from the ground up? Firstly, I’d stick with a
single GTX 980M, which is a fair chunk of the price cut, a 1440p display and
more basic storage options (standard SSD’s)</div>
