HWInfo have compared 22 huge HDDs. While the price of SSDs continues to drop, the ‘old’ hard drive is still the cheapest way to store a lot of data. Especially in a NAS or Mini-ITX system, where there is limited physical space you probably want a drive with as much capacity as possible. In this article we take a look at 22 models with a capacity between 6 and 10 TB.
If you're into VR or AR, being Augmented Reality, a new Lenovo phone might be of interest. Now a few months after the game’s launch, the first fully capable AR smartphone has started shipping. It’s Lenovo’s Phab 2 Pro, and under the hood it contains the hardware and software neccesary to use Google’s Tango AR technology. Pokémon Go didn’t accelerate Tango’s consumer timeline, which has been in place since the team began discussions with Lenovo last year.
Tweaktown have been playing with video card vs ssd upgrades in an older PC. For the last month or so, we've been playing around with a new form of benchmarking, as I had talked with NVIDIA Australia on a look at upgrading your PC in two different ways. First, was the graphics card - of course, NVIDIA is a GPU company, guys. They sent us over their older GeForce GTX 760 2GB, while we used our new Pascal-based GeForce GTX 1060 6GB as an upgrade. upgrade-test-gtx-760-vs-1060-ssd-hdd-system_301 But it's the storage upgrade that had me excited, and which shows an incredible value for money upgrade for your gaming needs - so we ran Windows 10 on a mechanical HDD, and then again on an SSD with a bunch of games.
Valve are requiring Steam developers to use real in-game screenshots, not misleading pre-rendered or edited concept art screens. Over the years, there’s been heaps of controversy around screenshots proudly touting features that don’t exist or impossibly stunning visuals. Recent case in point: whether you love it or hate it, you gotta admit that No Man’s Sky’s Steam screenshots are, as Kotaku’s own Kirk Hamilton puts it, “hogwash.” They’ve only served to fan the flames of ire lapping at the game’s procedurally generated eyeball ankles.
ThinkComputers checked out the Zotac Factory in Dongguan, China. The factory tour took place in Dongguan, China at the PC Partner facility. PC Partner is actually the holding company of Zotac. This facility is where all of the Zotac graphics cards and mini PCs are made. Through the factory tour Zotac showed us exactly how their graphics cards and Mini PC’s are produced from start to finish.
MSI are holding a big giveaway to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Seems a Facebook account is required though.
