Here's a few reviews from this week by of our friends around the web.
NZXT Doko Review @ ocaholic
Quote: "With Doko, NZXT has a neat little gadget in its portfolio. What you get is a small streaming box, which allows a user to put a the video signal from a desktop computer onto the network and then carry it into your living room for example. There you connect Doko to a TV or projector and voila you see your desktop. On the following pages we will show you how Doko works and tell you what it's capable of."
Cougar 600K Mechanical Keyboard Review
Quote: "Here at Benchmark Reviews we have seen a lot of Cougar products come through as of late. Today we are proud to review something a little different, the Cougar 600K mechanical keyboard featuring Cherry MX Blue switches. There are quite a few things that make this keyboard unique and set it apart from it’s previous flagship keyboard, the Cougar 700K. The feature set alone from the 600K create a special synergy for typing purists that not only puts it in a class of its own, but definitely needs further examination.
Apple iPad Air 2 16GB Tablet Review @ Madshrimps
Quote: "While we were a bit skeptical at first mostly driven by the sale price of the 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad Air 2 tablet, our impression has changed quite dramatically after using the tablet extensively on a two-week period. Compared to what we have seen with the previously tested tablets, the offering from Apple has amazing quality, very light and the screen is top-notch thanks to the new technologies. Apple did not neglect the quality of the included cameras either and even if the back shooter does not include a LED flash, it can produce good quality photos in many conditions."
Noctua NH-U9S CPU Cooler Review @ ThinkComputers.org
Quote: "Smaller form factor systems keep on becoming more popular. With more and more full-featured smaller motherboards coming out many people are ditching their larger towers for these smaller form factor systems. With a small form factor system you only have a certain amount of space though. This is where the new Noctua NH-U9S comes in. Compared to other larger Noctua coolers that we have tested the NH-U9S has a smaller 95×95 mm footprint so it clears RAM and PCI-Express slots on most Intel and AMD motherboards, including mini-ITX motherboards. The cooler has a height of only 125 mm as well so it makes it very versatile in fitting inside smaller cases. We know Noctua for great performing CPU cooler, will this smaller cooler fit in the same category? Read on as we find out!"
Kingston HyperX Cloud II Pro Gaming Headset Review @ TechnologyX
Quote: "Gaming headsets are a dime a dozen. You can go out and buy one for $20 or shell out a few hundred. What Kingston had done with their original HyperX Cloud last year was that they created a quality headset for a value price. Now, they have built upon its success and have released the HyperX Cloud II. It offers plenty of features such as a removable microphone, inline sound card with virtual 7.1 surround sound, and cross platform compatibility for a low price of $99.99!"
Kingston HyperX Cloud 2 Headset @ Bjorn3d.com
The HyperX Cloud II headset has landed and landed chock full of a quality you can’t expect in a sub $100 Pro-gaming headset. From the powder coated brushed aluminum to the memory foam ear cups you’ll be hard pressed to find one thing on the Cloud II not geared toward quality. With 53mm neodymium rare earth magnets capable of 15Hz on the low side to 25000Hz on the high side these cans scream quality.
MSI GT80 Titan SLI Review (Laptop with built in mechanical keyboard) @ @ HardwareHeaven
Quote: "Over the past few years MSI have been building a good reputation in the gaming laptop market. Their early models always delivered decent performance, although the design could be a little extreme for some tastes but recently we have seen sleek, high performance systems. With a strong product catalogue in place, they are now looking to stand out from the crowd again and their latest system certainly does that. This is the worlds first laptop with Cherry MX brown mechanical keys (Backlit) in an 18″ chassis with GTX 980M SLI and the latest i7 CPU… to name just a few of the crazy specifications (did we mention 4x m.2 SSDs in RAID?). Read on to find out all about it in our MSI GT80 Titan SLI Review."
