Hardware Reviews

Review The Crucial X10 Portable SSD is one of the smallest I've used, but boasts absurd capacity. Up to 8TB of storage makes it a great high-speed external SSD option.

Review The Lenovo Legion Tab (Gen 3) is a small but mighty 8.8-inch Android tablet designed for mobile gaming, but it's also the best iPad Mini alternative I've used.

Review Waterfield's new ROG Ally case features a magnetic lining around the opening to keep the bag shut, rather than using a zipper. Here's my real-world experience.

Review Microsoft's laptop is tricky to recommend, because its flagship sibling is usually a better deal. Here's my full review of the Surface Laptop 13-inch.

Review The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 (Gen 10) Aura Edition is a slim, sturdy, and secure convertible Windows laptop that offers an excellent battery life... at a cost.

Review Microsoft’s Surface Pro 12 drops some premium features (and some size) to become a more affordable tablet PC, and is mostly a winner on its first try.

Review The 16-inch Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (16ILL10) falls short on its most attractive feature, but there are redeeming qualities hidden within this laptop.

Review The HP OMEN MAX 16 (2025) is the most powerful gaming laptop HP has ever released, and it goes against the most premium laptops on the market. Does it succeed?

Hardware NZXT refreshed its H9 Flow RGB+ for 2025, and I was able to build my gaming PC inside ahead of launch. It's an impressive case made for enthusiasts, and it's easy to recommend.

Review The Lenovo LOQ Tower (Gen 9) is Lenovo's most affordable tower PC designed for gaming, but it's overpriced and under-featured compared to the competition.
