Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router
Netgear unveiled their newest wireless router on June 25th and they didn’t pull any punches with this product introduction. The Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router (R8000) builds on the latest 5G Wi-Fi XStream technology from Broadcom and captures the crown for fastest consumer Wi-Fi router, if only for a while.

XTracGear Carbonic Gaming Mousepad
Today for review I’ve got the latest gaming mousepad from XtracGear called the Carbonic. The pad gets it’s name from the carbon fiber appearance on the surface of the pad, it’s not carbon fiber, it’s what would be considered a cloth pad, but it’s not cloth as you might expect. The surface is shiny and what Xtrac calls a polished textile surface making it have the rougher surface of a cloth pad for more control but also making it slicker than most traditional cloth pads are. The Carbonic has what I would call a hybrid surface, it’s flexible like cloth but yet slick like plastic. testfreaks.com

The second R7 260X video card we are reviewing from HIS is featuring a less complicated cooling system with a single 11-blade fan while the clocks are lower than the OEM version from AMD; this translates to 1000MHz for the GPU and 1250MHz for the memory. Despite the initial values, the card is quite overclockable and is succeeding to get dangerously close to the more expensive model. madshrimps.be

Solar power is everywhere around us, it’s the sun after all, and last I checked there’s few trillion or so years left of life in it so I figure why not take advantage of it? Today for review I’ve got the Apollo Solar USB Charger from Poweradd and it’s basically a large solar panel with a USB port on it to charge your devices while on the go, wherever you go. The Apollo can be charged by the sun obviously, but it can be also charged over a standard USB port if need be. testfreaks.com

Silicon Power Armor A30 1TB External Hard Drive
Opening up the retail box, I emptied the contents onto the ground, and this is everything inside. The first thing to note is the Silicon Power Armor A30 1TB in its black and orange glory. Just to note, a white-gray option is also available at press time. Two other capacities, a 500GB and a 2TB are also available at the time being. Next is the full USB 3.0 male-to-male, which was found wrapped around the Armor A30 as shown in the picture above. Finally is the small user manual, which tells people more information about the product. Tossing all of this aside, we can finally get a closer look at the Armor A30 1TB itself. aphnetworks.com
