While shopping for a new laptop, I decided to give the Alienware m15 a try.  It’s been a few years since I owned one and boy have they changed.  I’ve gone from both extremes too, having owned an M11x in 2009 and then an Alienware 17 in 2016. This 15” laptop not only feels like it meets in the middle somewhere, but is surprisingly portable in terms of thickness.  It’s not even heavy, either.  Before I got it, I was skeptical about the build quality, but even that is pretty good.  Alienware’s decision to finally enter the thin performance-laptop realm was clearly a good one. But there are some things about this laptop that aren’t so great.  In fact, the plethora of small problems make this not the right choice for me.  Some of these are model-specific though, and just because I don’t want it doesn’t mean it’s a bad laptop. See my review below for more details and I’ll explain why. Specs as reviewed – Dell Alienware m15 R4 2021 Dell Alienware M15 R4 Scre...

Kioxia is not a brand that everyone is particularly familiar with. That is why we are doing our part of informing people about them. The brand is a Japanese multinational memory manufacturer. They are a subsidiary of Toshiba and have been around for a long time. Speaking of Toshiba, you might want to check out our review of the Toshiba Canvio Gaming External Hard drive. Back in the early 1980s, they were credited with inventing flash memory. Despite their popularity, they generated 19% of the global revenue in Q3 of 2018. So despite what you may think, the company is quite massive. As you can probably guess, they make a lot of storage/memory-related products. These products include SD cards, Sata SSDs, storage drives, flash drives, etc. Today, we’ll be taking a quick look at three of these products. Think of this as a quick hands-on review of all three. So without any further delay, let’s start off with our first product. Kioxia Exceria High Endurance microSD Card The Exceria microSD c...

The late 90's and early 2000's were a special era for personal computing. We've seen PC prices fall drastically, we've switched from dial-up to broadband, and we've dabbled with Windows ME while waiting for XP to arrive. While some of us went the DIY route back then, many started with a pre-built rig purchased from a brick-and-mortar retailer. One of the most notable brands during this era's race to the bottom was eMachines, founded in 1998 and later acquired by Gateway, which was then acquired by Acer. Back then, many "never outdated" eMachines systems were sold to budget-conscious users, and they helped introduce a generation of ATI Rage II and Rage Pro graphics. An integrated Rage LT Pro AGP graphics card was what I had in the first system I attempted to play on, with many hours spent playing Unreal Tournament (before that I was a console gamer and spent countless hours playing Gran to play tourism). I went down the proverbial rabbit hol...
