SteelSeries invited us up to their suite at the Aria during CES to show off a few new products that will be coming on the market this year. The Flux demonstrates SteelSeries’ desires to get into more mobile technology. While not as large and bold as their other audio offerings, the Flux does have portability

Razer took some time during CES 2012 to show off the latest prototype of their Project Fiona tablet. This tablet runs on an Intel Core i7, and is essentially a higher end laptop. Combine the underlying Windows 7 OS and add accelerometers and a touch screen to the already obvious controller rig around the main
Award-winning peripheral manufacturer iLuv displayed a wide selection of tablet and smartphone accessories at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. Newest on iLuv’s list is its WorkStation Series, a lineup of combined docking stations seeking to fill the niche normally occupied by stationary desktop or netbook PCs.

All-around invincible padding manufacturer G-Form has one-upped a previous iPad stress test by a hundred thousand feet or so. Not many companies would decide to test the brute strength of their cases by sending them to the edge of our atmosphere. Then again, not many companies are as serious about game-changing innovation. There’s some bickering
It’s hard for a software business to admit when its product is not the ideal solution to your problem.

Since the late ’90s, Razer has been producing high-quality computer peripherals designed with gamers in mind. Although they started small, Razer has quickly become a household brand among pro gamers and us plebs alike.

Most of us have probably seen the previously ubiquitous all-white background commercial regarding how a trendy, young, and known actor who represents an Apple computer is so different from the stodgy, suit & tie, middle aged lesser known actor portraying a PC. At first I treated this series of commercials with the same level of regard as I would water coming out of the faucet. But in the past couple of years as I’ve been interested in the computer market and trying to design a desktop computer for myself, the ad campaign has haunted my thoughts.
This commercial had returned to me as I began to consider whether or not people actually cared about this supposed ongoing argument between Macs and PCs.

In the market for computers, competition for consumers should be won and lost based on the performance and price of their products. There should not be any hesitance to switch computer brands just because you had previously purchased from “x” brand. It is similar to not being resistant to buying honey wheat bread if you bought nine grain wheat bread before.
Back in August we let you know about the new SteelSeries Sensei programmable, pro-grade laser mouse. SteelSeries sent one our way to test out, and the Sensei went above and beyond our expectations. The Mouse One of the key features that sets the Sensei apart from its brethren is the inclusion of a 32 bit
