Near-threshold voltage (NTV) computing continues the voltage scaling associated with Moore's Law and dramatically improves power and energy efficiency. Our latest article explores Intel's near-threshold voltage techniques and the implications and suitability for a variety of markets. The technology is superb for throughput, at the cost of latency, and best suited to HPC and mobile graphics.

Vizio CA27-A1 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
The Vizio CA27-A1 all-in-one desktop PC offers some serious performance without the cost that usually accompanies it. It also has a strong multimedia feature set, which includes a 1080p full HD 27-inch display, two HDMI port and four USB 3.0 ports. It does lack an optical disc drive, which does seem rather strange."

HP Pavilion g6t-2000 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
The HP Pavilion g6t-2000 is a fantastic budget laptop that offers good performance, a flashy design and good sounding audio. The battery life is sub par, however, and the graphics performance could definitely be better. For the sub-$500 price tag, it is still a great buy."

|
|
The Dell Inspiron 13z is a stylish looking ultraportable, with a clear design identity and reasonable price. Though not quite an ultrabook thanks to a few unchecked boxes on Intel`s specification listit`s a tad too thick, and it lacks the flash cache needed for speedy boot timesit`s still a decent portable performer."

A Futurelooks News Flash - Dell XPS One 27 All-in-One PC Review
|
|
Four years ago, I wrote a back to school guide for dorm-friendly technology on a budget. Yes, it still holds true that a good notebook PC will work wonders for students, but sometimes you still want to have a desktop and you still want to have a bigger screen. Unfortunately, you may not exactly have room for both a full desktop computer and an HDTV. You want something that can do both without sacrificing anything in terms of performance. Today, those wishes may just be one of several possibilities and we have one of them from DELL. A prime example of this is their new Dell XPS One 27. If you want a powerful desktop with a big screen but a not-so-big footprint, this could be the PC for you. *"

Lenovo ThinkStation S30 Workstation Review @ ThinkComputers.org
|
|
Workstations and business related products are not normally what we cover here at ThinkComputers. We are more consumer and enthusiast based, but our friends at Lenovo asked us if we would take a look at their latest workstation system the ThinkStation S30. We decided why not since we never cover things like this and who knows many some of you reading this review might pick up a few of these for your office. The ThinkStation S30 we are taking a look at today features an Intel Xeon E5-1620 Sandy Bridge processor, NVIDIA Quadro 2000 graphics, 8GB of DDR3-1333 memory, and two Seagate 500GB 7200 RPM drives in a RAID 0 setup. Lets see what the S30 is all about!"

Guru3D Rig of the Month - August 2012
|
|
This months build comes from a Mikkel Olsen. At 27 years of age Mikkel probably did not build the most beautiful game PC we have had submitted, but his room nearly is one huge PC, a freakish gaming please heaven for many of you. The guy has a lot going on in there as you are about to find out. Come to think of it, the guy should put up some Miami Vice signs in there to get that good old 80`ies feel to it :) Check the article here"

|
|
In the fall of 2011, Cooler Master`s gaming and enthusiast product branch, CM Storm, released the CM Storm Trooper Computer Case. It was a massive full-tower case with a very unique front I/O style and a big handle on top. The CM Storm Trooper received a lot of high marks by reviewers and owners alike. This time around, Cooler Master is changing things up just a little. The CM Storm Trooper is getting a face-lift and a name change. In this article, Benchmark Reviews is taking a look at the CM Storm Stryker, a white, windowed version of the Trooper."

Giada D2305 Mini PC Review @ ThinkComputers.org
|
|
Mini PC systems are great, especially for media or web browsing machines. They are very small and out of the way, they are easy to take with you, they have a small power footprint and they require hardly any maintenance at all. While most mini PCs are great for doing simple tasks, what about gaming or more intensive tasks? This is where the Giada D2305 comes in. Powered by the Intel i5-3427U processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 graphics it is aimed at the mid-range to be an all around system that can perform basic tasks as well as intensive ones without any issues.

Maingear Potenza Super Stock SFF System Review
|
|
Notebook makers aren't the only ones trying to cram big performance parts into little form factors. Desktop system builders are attempting the same thing, and if you require proof, all the evidence you need is packed inside Maingear's Potenza Super Stock (SS) gaming PC. Built around the mini-ITX form factor, the Potenza SS is a small form factor (SFF) system that rises above the moderate expectations of what a comparatively itty-bitty PC can truly deliver. As it turns out, a mini-ITX rig can pack quite the payload.
It starts with an Intel Ivy Bridge foundation, and Maingear bumped up the default processor option to an unlocked Core i7 3770K chip. Maingear then goosed the CPU past its stock 3.5GHz clockspeed as part of the company's optional Redline overclocking service...

Giada A51 Ultra Mini PC @ Pro-Clockers
|
|
One device we did not mention is the computer. A PC is the most cost effective way of connecting to the TV and not only being able to display your pictures, stream your videos and listen to your music but after you have done all that you can browse the internet maybe even play a game or two. And with a PC being as small or mini as they are they flow with all of the other components that make up your media theatre system without being the center of the setup. We have seen a few mini systems come across our table. They mostly have come from Sapphire and Asrock and we have seen them both preform a"
