Sony VAIO T Series 15 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
     Wed, Jun 19 2013 | 8:21A | Notebooks | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
The all-new Sony VAIO T Series 15 has an attractive design, a beautiful 1080p HD touch display, long battery life and very good performance. It does lack a Blu-ray drive, which would have put it over the top, and the touch pad wasn`t the best."

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Video Card @ Benchmark Reviews
     Tue, Jun 18 2013 | 12:14P | Video Cards | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
NVIDIA`s GeForce GTX 770 video card is built from the 28nm Kepler GK104 graphics processor, identical to the GTX 680 released back in March 2012. Featuring 1536 CUDA cores that are clocked to reach 1085 MHz using NVIDIA Boost 2.0 technology, GTX 770 also comes with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory that creates the world`s fastest 1753 MHz graphics frame buffer. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests and compares the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 graphics card using several highly-demanding DX11 video games, such as Metro: Last Light, Batman: Arkham City, and Battlefield 3."

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Review @ Vortez
     Mon, Jun 17 2013 | 12:14P | Video Cards | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
While the GTX770 is not a direct replacement for the GTX680, it makes sense to compare against this card than the card NVIDIA pitch it as replacing, the GTX670 because of the similarities. For those looking to upgrade from a GTX670 or a GTX570, NVIDIA claim increases in performance of 22% and 65% respectively. How this performance increase transpires when pitched against the GTX680 we will examine in our performance benchmarks."

SilverStone DS322 Dual Bay USB 3.0 Enclosure Review @ ThinkComputers.org
     Mon, Jun 17 2013 | 8:21A | Hard Drives | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
Sometimes it can be hard to find an easy, affordable and reliable solution for external PC backups in one product. I have used several HDD enclosures and NAS products from several different makers and never really fell in love with any of them. Most of them have extremely complicated menus that you have to sift through to try and figure out how to change the RAID setup of the device. Then you have to wait several hours just for it to format a few hundred Gigs of space. In the past, when deciding on a RAID capable enclosure you really need to prioritize what is important to you and ask yourself a few questions. How much does it cost? How reliable it is? How easy is it to use? Keep all of those questions in mind as you read this review and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with this enclosure."

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Review @ Hardware Canucks
     Sun, Jun 16 2013 | 12:14P | Video Cards | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
Fresh off their launch of the GTX 780, NVIDIA is launching yet another new graphics card. The GTX 770 is meant to replace the GTX 670 but can easily outperform the GTX 680 but its most interesting feature is its cost. At just $399 this may be one of the best values currently available."

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Review - GK104 Speed Bump
     Sat, Jun 15 2013 | 12:14P | Video Cards | PermaLink
Posted by: STAFF
It should come as no surprise that compared to the year-old GeForce GTX 680 2GB graphics cards, the new GTX 770 2GB is just a bit faster in all of our tests. That variance can spike a bit on certain games that take more advantage of the additional memory bandwidth provided by the 7.0 Gbps memory system but otherwise you could easily overclock just about any GTX 680 on the market to get the same results we are seeing for the GTX 770 here."

Design wise, Samsung have done well by their 9-Series Ultrabook; the system is wrapped in dark cobalt blue aluminum chassis that adopts many of the design elements of an Apple Macbook Air, yet posses the large screen size of a MacBook Pro (albeit with better hardware) and a sticker prices that won't cause heart failure.

I wish there was just ONE little black box that would allow an IT Admin to connect any kind of hard drive to it, so there's no need to crack open a computer system, mess with BIOS settings or waste time trying to move GBs over a tediously slow USB 2.0 connection.
