Some reviews from our pals around the web.
Antec AMP Pulse Wireless Mobile Headphones Review @ ThinkComputers.org
Quote: "Antec has branched out over the past year from what we normally know them for, cases and power supplies. They launched Antec Mobile Products (AMP) and we reviewed their flagship product the SP1 Bluetooth speaker. Today we are taking a look at another bluetooth product the Pulse Wireless Mobile Headphones. These over-the-ear wireless headphones are intended for mobile use and include an integrated microphone for answering calls. Beyond this they feature 40 mm drivers, built in controls, a foldable design and a very sleek look. Let’s check them out…"
Razer DeathAdder 4G (2013) Ergonomic Gaming Mouse Review @ Madshrimps
Quote: "Razer has rebuilt the 2013 DeathAdder on a proven winning formula for providing us an even better device. Thanks to the textured matte finish we now have better grip on the top of the mouse (including the left and right click buttons) and as we have seen at the Taipan, but also at the Ouroboros with its interchangeable side panels, we have now some rubber strips on the sides which will experience noticeable less wear compared to thin rubber surfaces.
The Synapse 2.0 software gives us plenty of configuration options, including DPI switching, which can be set for the two programmable buttons located on the left side; we would have preferred though to have additional buttons alongside the scroll wheel for DPI switching so the lateral ones could be set for entirely other functions."
ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer @ Hardware Secrets
Quote: "Let's take a look at the ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer, a top mid-range socket AM3+ motherboard for AMD FX processors, based on the AMD 990FX chipset. The portrayed motherboard is part of the Fatal1ty Killer series, which is equipped with a high-end audio interface based on the Realtek ALC1150 codec, which brings professional-grade specifications, and a Killer E2200 Ethernet controller.he AMD 990FX chipset is basically an AMD 890FX chipset with a new name, and supports the higher HyperTransport 3.0 speeds (up to 10.4 GB/s a.k.a. 5.2 GT/s) that were not used before and are supported by the FX processors from AMD.
Datacolor Spyder4PRO Monitor Calibration Tool Review @ APH Networks
Quote: "Datacolor sent a unit of the Spyder4PRO display color calibration system to us here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada inside a medium sized, brown corrugated cardboard box from the company's public relations representative in Providence, Rhode Island. Using FedEx's International 2-day service, it arrived right on time in perfect condition for our review today. Although I have been reviewing products since 2005, I have actually never evaluated any product of this genre before. Ironically, if you have read my SilverStone ARM Two SST-ARM22SC monitor arm review from a few weeks ago, you will realize I love my high performance LCD monitors. As such, I wasted no time to hang this little bugger over my displays."
Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz Edition Review @ PureOverclock
Quote: "We’ve been impressed in the past with Gigabyte Windforce graphics cards, and we suspect this new GTX 780 GHz Edition will be no different. It’s constructed in metal rather than cheap plastic, comes with three fans, heatpipes, and a boatload of cooling potential in a stylish gaming package. Factor in a very aggressive overclock on this card, and we are eager to see just how fast this thing can go. Looks like a great card so far, so let’s get the Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz Edition on the bench and see how it performs."
Samsung UN60F8000 60″ Smart HDTV User Review
Quote: "Our report today will speak to a HDTV that has earned the reputation as being one of the best viewing experiences in the world. Unlike many other review websites however, we have had the Samsung UN60F8000 LED 3D 240Hz Smart HDTV in our hands for some time. We will be offering the reader a first hand user opinion of the Samsung HDTV user experience, some points good and others that identify deficiencies that Samsung might improve upon. Our purpose in publishing this report is to strike the potential buyer head on with the day-to-day features that they might use after such a purchase, rather than the host of extras that many just never seem to find the time to learn."
