I’m in the process of putting together a high-end PC which I'll use for content creation and 4K gaming. One piece hardware I have sights on is the Gigabyte Z 390 Designare motherboard. One of the few boards by the company based on the Socket-1151 platform constructed entirely for Intel's latest 8th and 9th generation Coffee Lake processors. From a design perspective, the motherboard is very sleek yet has an intimidating look sporting an all black aesthetic with a hint of silver highlights scattered all over the board. Even the VRM heat-sink is deck with a silver and black motif color scheme. What you don't see with this particular motherboard is an overabundance of RGB lighting which for me is a personal preference.

It seems gaming consoles have a 6 to 7-year life cycle before companies (Microsoft and Sony) manufacture a whole new iteration that includes new and advanced hardware and design. Look no further than current Xbox One and PS4. Both gaming consoles made their market release in 2013 with the PS3 the enjoying it's six-year cycled run. Sony has officially given full details on the PS5 hardware, expected pending release will be in 2020. If this is so it will follow another six-year cycle. Components revealed by Sony's chief of hardware, Mark Cerny will be nothing short of being impressive.

By chance, if you're in the process of purchasing an Amazon Echo, then you stumbled upon the right post. I was given the awhile back Echo device as a gift and partook in the whole setup which isn't difficult at all. Still there many who don't have the tech savvy or confidence to set up such a device. So it's my obligation to you readers to put together a detail step-by-step guide on how to set up Echo. My particular model is the Plus variant which is the 2nd Gen version.

It's quite some time since I've posted a hardware breakdown that always included PC related hardware or I would do an examined observation on a computer entirely. Admittedly, I was running out ideas which are why I haven't posted this feature on this website. Then a thought entered the brain, why not do a hardware breakdown on a recently purchased wearable tech. The Samsung Galaxy smartwatch has been on my wrist for two weeks. I must say, the engineering feat achieved in this watch piece is quite impressive.

Hardware breakdown presents, the Galaxy smartwatch, let's get out the tools and use the imagination a bit and take a look at some of the more impressive core components.

What’s a custom built gaming system these days without RGB lighting, you most certainly will find them pre-installed in some PC cases, but now they're making its way onto memory modules and cooling apparatuses. This trend is now seeing itself on storage devices. Proof of such claim is what you have with Gigabyte latest SSD. Announced at CES 2019, Gigabyte's Aurora RGB AIC NVMe SSD is now primed and ready for consumer purchase. It made its official debut on the company's website available in two storage variants, 512GB and 1TB.

For those who loathe playing FPS games using the console's controller, good news Razer has you covered as they just released its branded Turret gaming keyboard and mouse which was announced back 2018 for the Xbox One. The combo keyboard and mouse has several exciting features that include a Razer Chroma, 5G advanced optical sensors, and 2.4GHz wireless connection.

In an un-Apple-like move last week the company decided to cancel AirPower. This wireless charging device was capable of charging the iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods simultaneously.

But there are fully functional devices similar to AirPower already on the market. Now the caveat is most of these devices don't do what the AirPower was promised; you have to place your device on dedicated spots for the charge to take place. Nevertheless, you might want to take a look at these three wireless charges I've listed below this intro.

The much anticipated AirePower wireless charger, sadly is a no go from Apple. The wireless accessory main function was supposed to simultaneously charge the iPhone, Watch and AirPods which by the way was announced when the iPhone X made its debut back in September of 2017 and was supposed to make its market launch in 2018. Well, we're three months into 2019 yet still no AirPower.

Amazon Prime subscribers, please read this post, I'm about to present you what I think is a good deal for anyone who's shopping around for an external drive. The 4TB WD (western-DIGITAL) My Passport portable external drive is listed on Amazon for just $99. A pretty good deal, but the caveat is you have to Prime member to purchase this drive at that price from this site. The external drive originally retails for $159.99.

You can find the best gaming keyboard under $50, I mean the market is flooded. I have several myself, and yes it cost me just $50, give a take a few dollars and cents. A good gaming keyboard needs to be user-friendly packed with a bevy of features that should aid you in destroying opponents while playing the latest military style first person shooter. Now a regular keyboard will not give you the advantage needed to outlast the competition. The majority of budget gaming keyboards on the market do have a wide variety of programmable keys that should help you get most out of your PC game-play.

With all of that said, here are three gaming keyboards you might be interested in for under $50
