Shuttle XPC slim DH110 XH110V XH110 SH110R4 specifications. Shuttle , undisputed leader in the design and manufacture of mini computers Barebone, today introduced four new models – XPC slim DH110 , the XPC slim XH110V , the XPC slim XH110 and XPC cube SH110R4. Their specs are given below.

Shuttle XPC slim DH110 . It is manifestly thin robust platform with a height of only 43 mm can be used even at an ambient temperature of 50 ° C. Its aluminum casing houses two network connections and two serial interfaces, and the two monitor connections allow use in any imaginable context. The DH110 is compatible with processors up to 65W TDP and up to 32 GB of memory DDR3L. Its recommended price is 246 €.

Shuttle XPC XH110V slim . With an equally compact format, although somewhat larger, presents the XH110V as what is known as 3 – liter PC. In this device fated to the desktop you can be installed up to three units and two M.2 cards. It also features 2 LAN ports, 2 COM ports and 2 connections for monitor. The XH110V also supports processors up to 65W TDP and up to 32 GB of memory DDR3L. Its recommended price is 224 €.

Shuttle XPC slim XH110 . It is identical to XH110V, but with a modified aluminum front without protective covers that hide the optical drive and connections. Its recommended price is 224 €, like the previous model.

Shuttle XPC cube SH110R4 . The classic cube format lets you install in this variant PCIe graphics cards two M.2 modules, a 5.25 “and two 3.5” drives. The front can be decorated with motifs. The SH110R4 supports processors up to 95W TDP and up to 32 GB of memory DDR4. Its recommended price is 255 €.

It always happens that the closer the date of release of a highly anticipated product, the greater number of rumors and more weight they arise. On this occasion we get a rumor that the release date of the upcoming graphics cards AMD , based architecture Polaris , could reach the market in late June.

Actually it is quite logical, as AMD promised that the first graphic architecture Polaris arrive in the first half of this year, so the end of June would be precisely the end of the deadline set by the manufacturer. In this case we speak of the theoretical AMD Radeon R9 490 and 490x, which would top end of the new graphics architecture that in this case not only changes lithography but also memory, because in this case we would have graphics memory HBM2 with twice the performance than the previous one.

This is what is supposed, in any case, since it is known that most graphics R9 400 series AMD would graphics memory GDDR5X and not HBM2, reserving the latter only for top graphics cards range that is precisely the first that always rumored to hit the market in late June. Anyway back to remind pair that does not leave doubt that what we are dealing with are mere rumors and no official confirmation of absolutely nothing by the manufacturer.

In fact, in the Capsaicin event that AMD held during the GDC event, the manufacturer showed a release schedule in showing that the HBM2 memory will not come until early 2017, so there is still a possibility that they Radeon R9 490 and 490x GDDR5X come equipped with memory and HBM2, which if I may think it would be a failure for AMD because NVIDIA itself has confirmed that its graphics are also Pascal will have HBM2 falling memory.

Recall that the AMD Radeon R9 490 and 490x form part of the Polaris 10 architecture, focused on the segment of high-end, while the graphics architecture Polaris 11 will arrive a little later will be focused on the mid-range and have graphics memory GDDR5X but will share lithography with Polaris 10.

Riotoro , a new company that is based in California, United States, launches its new box Riototro CR1080 , a model which claims to be one of the smallest on the market but capable of accommodating motherboards in full size ATX case and power supplies that size and graphics cards up to 300 mm thanks to its internal design into separate sections.

Riototro CR1080 specs review: The new CR1080 of Riotoro measures 245 mm wide by 359 mm high by 394 mm deep and is built with SECC steel for its internal structure and ABS plastic decorative elements of the box. Has an I / O panel on the top of it with a button on the system, another reset, two USB 3.0 ports and two mini jack sockets for connecting headphones and a microphone. In its front it has an opening for the installation of a unit in 5.25-inch bay, as well as a fan of 120 mm in diameter with LED lighting, with space for installation of a second 120 mm fan to help cooling of the components that your users choose to install inside.

Continuing the theme of ventilation, the box has space to allow mounting or sink up to 120 mm in height or of a liquid cooling system that uses a single radiator size 120 mm on the front. At the bottom, there is room to install two 120 mm fans and in the rear, space for another 80 mm. At the top there is a generous opening that allows air outlet without too many restrictions, typical of positive pressure boxes.

Box Riotoro uses an internal inverted design by which the area of ​​the processor is at the bottom of the box, just in front of the airstream front fan and or graphics are placed on top of the same.

The box has bays for mounting two units dual 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch, and another for mounting a unit only 2.5 inch. The new Riotoro CR1080 can be purchased at Amazon at the price of $ 79.99.

The virtual reality is on everyone ‘s lips lovers hardware in recent times, and manufacturers are rushing to introduce their products VR Ready for users interested in this business. MSI has its first team “certification” (internal) for virtual reality systems, the MSI WT72 of which I speak in today.

Basically what MSI has done has been to update one of its laptop models aimed at professional CAD design and adapt to new requirements with virtual reality systems to create the WT72. This is a team that has a graphics card NVIDIA Quadro M5500, Intel Core i7 or Xeon sixth generation and up to 64 GB of RAM DDR4 memory, so performance you will not miss with this combination of hardware.

The biggest innovation is the inclusion of the new NVIDIA Quadro graphics M5500, a GPU that provides 35% more performance than the previous generation. Andy Tung, MSI CEO of America said about it that “The MSI WT72 with NVIDIA Quadro M5500 is the world ‘s first notebook that can literally with any task, including graphic design and virtual reality systems.”

To enhance the multimedia experience, MSI has integrated into the WT72 the Dynaudio sound technology, in this case with an audio optimizer Nahimic. They have also introduced new panels Ultra HD 17.3 inch True Color technology with Adobe RGB certification, SteelSeries backlit keyboard, and USB connectivity Thunderbolt 3 and 3.1. As you can see, MSI has taken its professional teams and has integrated them some of the characteristics of their equipment Gaming to create the new WT72. These are its characteristics such as we announced the manufacturer.

At the moment it is unknown when this new team will come to market and price, although seen your hardware can expect prices not suitable for many pockets (we speak of more than 4,000 euros a good insurance).

Doogee Y300 review. Doogee X5S review. Let’s start talking about the Y300 – designwise, it is reminiscent of the Sony Xperia but obviously much more affordable and with different characteristics. It is a smartphone 5-inch HD screen (1,280 x 720 pixels) IPS matrix that works with the latest version of Android operating system.

To enhance this display Doogee integrated into the Y300 MediaTek MTK6735 quad-core 64-bit SoC running at a speed of 1.3 Ghz, accompanied by a GPU Mali T720 and 2 GB of RAM to ensure smooth operation in any type of applications. Internal storage as the manufacturer has installed 32 GB of ROM, expandable memory using a micro SD card up to 32GB more.

This terminal input range incorporates a front camera of 8MP, while the rear, signed by Sony (IMX219 model) is 13 Megapixel and includes LED flash, auto focus and stabilizer. The terminal has Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, A-GPS, OTA, OTG, Dual SIM (Micro SIM) and connectivity with 2G, 3G and 4G networks. The battery is 2,200 mAh, ensuring sufficient autonomy for a day of intensive, two to three days with normal use.

On the other hand we have the X5S Doogee, a terminal also input range but lower than the Y300, which is reflected in a much lower price and therefore more suitable for all budgets. This X5S also has a 5-inch IPS display with HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), but in this case still has Android 5.1 operating system.

The SoC built-in X5S is the same as the previous model (MediaTek MTK 6735) but functioning in this case a 1 Ghz in its four cores, also accompanied by an ARM GPU Mali T720 but in this case the RAM has been reduced just 1 GB and 8 GB internal storage, but fortunately they are expandable up to 32 additional GB with micro SD memory card.

The cameras are also somewhat lower, because while the front has 5 Mpx, the rear has 8MP, but also has LED flash, auto focus and stabilizer software. Its battery is 2,400 mAh, and since the processor has a lower consumption this means that battery life is a bit higher, about two days intensive and between 3 and 4 days with moderate use.
