Canon announced two new mirrorless cameras in its EOS range, the EOS R7 and EOS R10. Good news: these are the company’s first cameras with EOS R APS-C sensors. Better news: they’re reasonably priced, so no second mortgage for you to worry about. The other good news is that you can use your APS-C and RF lenses interchangeably. Along with their reasonable price tag, is an impressive list of specs. Like a mechanical shutter that can manage 15fps shooting speeds or 4K 60fps video capture. Kitchen sink not included Despite what you might think, the bigger number here isn’t better.…

Remember that breakthrough in display technology that allowed Chinese company BOE (Beijing Oriental Electronics) to create a 500Hz gaming monitor prototype? Well, either it sold that tech to Asus or maybe the two became mates. However it came to be, Asus will be the first OEM to bring a 500Hz gaming monitor to market. The Asus ROG Swift 500Hz – which we hope isn’t the final name – was revealed during Nvidia’s keynote address at Computex 2022 earlier today. It will feature a new 24in ETN (Twisted Nematic) panel with a resolution of 1,920×1080. Nvidia is calling it “the lowest…

When Qualcomm, towards the end of last year, announced its then flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the new chip offered a performance increase of around 20% over the previous flagship, the Snapdragon 888, while using 30% less power. With the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, those increases have been further improved upon. But not by much. Qualcomm has managed to eke out an extra 10% in CPU and GPU performance with 15% less power consumed per chip. Shouldn’t this be Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.5? Qualcomm is making a fuss about this new chip’s sustained performance. That’s how long the…

At AMD’s Computex 2022 keynote address, Corsair unveiled its first gaming laptop. The Voyager a1600 features an AMD Ryzen 6000-series CPU and a Radeon RX 6000-series GPU. Specifically, the Ryzen 7 6800HS or a Ryzen 9 6900HS for the CPU and the Radeon RX 6800M GPU. With either configuration, you’ll get up to 64GB of DDR5 memory (Corsair Vengence, no doubt) and 2TB of SSD storage. Other specs include a 16in 2,560×1,600 240Hz display with variable refresh rate compatibility, a full-sized Cherry MX low-profile keyboard with per-key RGB backlighting, what seems to be a spacious trackpad, and an FHD webcam.…

Bentley’s first EV will be crazy powerful, says Bentley CEO The Bentley EXP 100 concept Bentley’s first EV, planned for a 2025 release, will reportedly offer 1,400 horses of power and 0 – 100km/h acceleration in 1.5 seconds. If those numbers are to be believed then this future Bentley would be one of the fastest vehicles on the planet. It currently trounces the fastest passenger EVs, the Tesla Model S Plaid and the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance with 1,020hp and 1,111hp respectively. At least on paper, anyway. And that acceleration won’t even be the main headline, according to Bentley’s…

So, you just treated yourself to a new Windows laptop. Now what? Well, after you’ve taken it out of the box and plugged it in, there are a few things we suggest you do to make your road ahead as easy as possible. It should be noted that we’ll be exclusively covering new Windows laptops. Macs are a whole different story that we won’t be touching here. We will also make sure not to get too technical. You won’t need to go digging through your registry, run any dodgy scripts or give up your firstborn. Some of these steps might…

There have been a few whispers floating around about a revival of Marvel’s Daredevil ever since Disney+ came about. It was stated, though it needn’t’ve been, that all Marvel content would move over to the platform. This was probably a factor in Netflix’s decision to cancel the show after three well-received seasons. Those whispers got a little louder with the release of Hawkeye and Spider-Man: No Way Home last year. Those titles saw Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox reprise their roles as Wilson Fisk and Matt Murdock respectively. You don’t get to destroy Daredevil Some recent news from Variety makes…

Stuff says –  4/5 So you’re looking to buy a new desktop. The first choice you’ll need to make is whether you want to build it yourself or ask someone else nicely (using money) to build it for you. If you opt to build it yourself, good for you. There’s a lot of enjoyment to be had if you’re the type of person that likes working with your hands. And if you have a touch of patience. If you’re scared you’ll muck it up or just couldn’t be arsed, then Asus’ built-to-order PCs might be worth looking into, especially…

This might sound like you’ve gone back in time ten years but Acer is bringing its take on a 3D experience to its laptop and monitor range. Acer isn’t behind the times. This is the SpatialLabs glasses-free stereoscopic 3D tech the Taiwanese tech company has been touting for a while. Acer is bringing this new tech to its new Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition laptop and SpatialLabs View and SpatialLabs View Pro portable monitors. For when two dimensions aren’t enough Acer’s new 3D tech uses a special stereoscopic 2D UHD display with something called a lenticular lens that’s been optically…

There aren’t many players in the portable monitor space. Lenovo, Dell, ViewSonic, and Asus all have something to offer. We’ve spent the last week or two with Asus’ latest, the ZenScreen. Specifically, the ZenScreen Go MB16AWP. Not to be confused with the ZenScreen Go MB16AHP, ZenScreen MB166C, ZenScreen MB16ACV, ZenScreen MB16AH, ZenScreen MB14AC… you get the idea. We’ve definitely seen a better naming scheme but have we seen a better portable monitor? Not really. It’s a little difficult to recommend because it’s not exactly cheap and there’s no touchscreen support, but if it’s been a good month and you’re looking…
