I do still question the heat though. We're talking about a desktop processor in a small little box... I just can't wrap my head around it. I am not really sure you'd want to stress it too often, but then what would the point be of owning it if you had to worry about that?

Nice! It does look to be a great value, that's for sure.

Sigh. That looks like a lot of fun. I might just have to install the game and force myself to give it a try one of these days. A lot of those environments remind me of BF2.

I've had games auto-update that I set to not to as well. It's plagued me on the benchmarking PCs.

A rather significant feature shipping with Windows 8 is "Windows to Go" - as it sounds, a portable Windows 8 install. Much like ReadyBoost, Microsoft isn't releasing this feature without some standards, so for a portable drive to be validated, it must first meet the company's specifications...

As we discovered in July, OCZ has been hard at work developing its first 100% in-house SSD, thanks to the combined efforts of the three merged companies; OCZ itself, PLX's UK team and of course, Indilinx. Taking advantage of IDF, OCZ has been flaunting its upcoming SSD to the press, and boy...

At a special launch event held in San Francisco today, Apple unveiled the much-anticipated iPhone 5. One thing this launch proves unlike most of the others is that Apple is having a rougher time keeping details under wraps, because with official specs in-hand, we can see that many of the rumors...

You're saying that as transistors get smaller, they get cooler? I guess it's been hard to see this rule in action in desktop processors, because with each die shrink usually comes a transistor count boost, negating potential temp improvements.

There might be similar games your phone could run. If you're not adverse to tablets, as those continue to get cheaper and cheaper, it seems we'll all end up with one eventually. My phone is old as dirt and would never run something like this either.

I couldn't agree more on all those points, Thar. What's driven me nuts is when I go to play a SP game and Steam would halt the current DLs, requiring me to alt-tab to fix it. Just a pain in the ass. And for a program that relies entirely on downloading content, why it doesn't have more robust...

Hi Bhavesh: I'm glad you found the review useful! Unfortunately, your experience is exactly what these drives set out to prevent. What I'm wondering is if you can, instead of purchasing all new drives, load each drive one-by-one into a PC and change the head parking and error correction values...

As I posted this review, I had wondered if I'd like it as much as my pure Sensei, and well... a delivery man came by today to drop one off. I am not sure how it happened, but I get my wish to compare! Will chime in with my thoughts once I get some time put into it. The surface of the mouse...

Cheers for putting so much effort into that script! It's quite similar to an Acronis for Linux, but free!

That'd be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. Or something like that.

SteelSeries unleashed its Sensei in 2011; one year later, the revamped Sensei [RAW] joins its ever-growing gamer-oriented line. Join us as we see whether or not the newest model's "less is more" approach is enough to merit its celebrated predecessor's status as one of the acknowledged masters...

Want a PC as small as an Apple TV but with a desktop processor inside? If so, Intel's "NUC" concept is sure to be of interest. Intel's target motherboard size for "Next Unit of Computing" is 4x4" - about the size of a beverage coaster. Despite that small size, it'll come embedded with a Core i3...

A mere two months since Valve's announcing of Steam Greenlight comes the first ten titles that, thanks to fans, have "reached a critical mass" and will soon release on the platform. Interestingly, one such game is Black Mesa, the fan-made recreation of the original Half-Life that we talked about...

It'd be better if you had three hands, but yes, I don't see why you couldn't. It's the same action as an alt-tab, really, so if your fingers can reach, you're good. Now don't get me wrong, I do prefer dedicated keys, but I've gotten used to this solution here. I've gotten used to things where I...

Yeah... that gray color on the phone does kind of remind me of a MacBook Air.

This isn't meant for mobile PCs, really. It's meant for a dedicated box that's hooked up to the TV, so that when you just feel like kicking back, you can crash on the couch and continue your gaming (thanks to cloud saves, this is now a reality). I am so used to PC gaming though that I couldn't...
