By now everyone knows Core i7 means performance. And when you tack that one little "X" to the end it goes from the best to the best-of-the-best. For those that may not be familiar with the naming scheme, the X means Extreme which is Intel's halo product. It is a no compromises top-of-the-line processor, and is unmatched by any other.

So how about a smartwatch? My Kronoz was founded back in 2012 and is a Swiss-based company that manufactures, designs and develops products that enhances the increased mobile, connected and digital lifestyles of today. In April 2013 they released their first two smartwatches; ZeBracelet and ZeWatch. This company is still in its early years, but so far from what I've seen, they have some pretty amazing stuff. In this review I will be discussing a prototype that hasn't been mentioned as of yet on their website, but was on display at CES 2014. I introduce to you, ZeSplash.

Everywhere, in that you can find their stuff on Amazon, in Best Buy, and even Wal-Mart; nowhere in that hardly anybody outside the industry recognizes their name. They focus mainly on tablets, media streamers and portable hard drives, and it's this last group we'll be taking a look at today. Their 500GB USB 3.0 hard drive offering, model number DM256-BU-500GB, aims to give you half a terabyte for half a benjamin with minimal fuss. A cursory examination of the major online retailers confirms that they hit their price point, but what sort of performance do you get for your money? Let's put this drive through its paces and find out.

Thermaltake is specifically targeting the budget minded gamers with the POSEIDON Illuminated keyboard. Shifting the focus away from some of the non-essential bells and whistles and focusing on the core needs of demanding gamers, this keyboard is promises to deliver the best bang for your buck if you're in the market for an illuminated mechanical keyboard.

Well if any of those three things are your favorite mobile device, then you might consider how you plan to power your favorite tech gadget on said desert island. Being "off the grid", generally means you have to go without many of the technological amenities we've grown accustomed too in our normal day to day lives. So are there any solutions for using these devices when a wall outlet isn't readily accessible?

Usually you start with the concept that you want a home theater or are a business user and need a projector for meetings or presentations. In the end you almost always end up asking "What should I buy?" This question is almost always most easily resolved by answering the question "What will you use it for, and where will you be using it?"

In addition to being a really cool piece of technology it is uber useful. In my work at TechwareLabs.com we review a LOT of hardware, pretty much anything that uses electricity. That means heat, and at times quite a bit of it. Wouldn't it be handy to see the heat that any given object puts off? You could isolate sources of heat and cold, find out if one part is hotter than another and get its exact temperature within 0.06 degrees C. For the more analytical among us it would be cool to see if those larger heatpipes actually convey more heat no pun intended. Introducing the E6 from Flir, a Thermal Imager for your needs.
