A few days ago, the tech giant revealed the DualSense PS5 controller that's filled with some intriguing features. The controller will be launched right alongside the PS5 console in late 2020 right before the Xmas shopping season.

Excellent aesthetics is not what makes a quality CPU cooler. Although you do have some coolers on the market that have a unique construction, it's not entirely just about the design, the importance of functionality should be the primary focus—the CPU coolers innate ability to stabilize the processor under heavy use.

Shadow Rock 3, has me filled with intrigue.

In 2018, Apple launched the iPad Pro. In my opinion, the tablet is one of the best mobile devices in its entire product line.

When it comes to reviewing audio devices, particularly headphones, for me, it can be tricky since I'm not an expert in audio technology. But the ears know the quality sound when I hear it.

And of course, the buzz within the tech and gaming community has been generated.

Last week Samsung held its annual unpack event and launched its newest flagship smartphones. I must say, I'm quite impressed with what the South Korean tech giant has to offer. So as a point of reference, we're going to take a close look at the Samsung Galaxy S20 hardware. Even though there are three versions, the S20, S20+and S20-Ultra, all have similar hardware and features. But my gut feelings tell me that consumers will gravitate more to the Galaxy S20. Mainly because of the price, which starts at just $999 while the other Samsung smartphones have a much higher price point.

CES (an acronym for Computer Electronic Show) has come and gone, and from gathered reports I've read from the Internet, this was by far one of the best trade shows given in a long time since it's inception.

Solid-state drives have moved passed mechanical drives in regards to speed and performance.

Aside from the hardware, which will get to in this post. The design is fascinating, which looks very similar to a gaming desktop. Rather odd since gaming consoles often have a very compact build.
