Pipo has launched its first keyboard PC and it is called the Pipo K1. Our friends have done Pipo k1 review and they are very impressed with the official package.
Pipo K1 brings back memories of the original Asus Eee Keyboard PC which also packed an entire computer (sans display) into a keyboard.

Lenovo has launched Yoga Home 900 tablet PC that dons a massive 27 inch display. The display packs touch panel allowing the user to use it as massive slate tablet.
This is very similar to the Lenovo Horizon 27 inch that the company launched back in 2013 but is much slimmer and user friendly thanks to latest Windows 10 operating system.

We just had a chance to review the Intel 750 U2 SSD and we were able to run a few benchmark on it. The Intel 750 U2 was tested using U.2 to M2 adapters as it is still quite impossible to find them in online and retail shops. We tested it on a Z710 Extreme 7 motherboard by Asrock and it features three M2 slots. Check out cheapest laptop SSDs of 2015 year.

After VIA ARTiGO A820, VIA has launched ARTiGO A600, an ultra-compact fanless computer that is perfect for IoT and M2M applications that require computing power along with features like low consumption and wide range of I / O capabilities.
VIA ARTiGO A600 integrates four COM ports that include Phoenix RS-485 3-pole 3.75KV isolation, a port for RS-232 COM port and a GOD for 8-bit GPIO connections. The I / O section also includes two USB 2.0 ports, a Mini HDMI port interfaces for HMI, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a miniPCIe port, which measures only 12.5 x 12.5 x 3 cm and can accommodate an optional Wi-Fi module.
VIA ARTiGO A600 includes a VIA 800MHz Cortex-A9 SoC, a Micro SD input and a 4GB eMMC flash memory and 1GB DDR3 SDRAM. Also available is a software development tool that is optimized for Linux. It supports all key features such as complete set of customized software services which allow quick and easy development.
VIA ARTiGO A600 will enable companies to transform developing a new generation of smart devices. The control systems for industrial automation will have a key role in the development of innovative products and services more personalized.
MSI has announced the launch of a new special edition of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti from NVIDIA, which is the current top model of the company. The MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Golden Edition is a special variant with a copper sink, offering maximum heat dissipation and of course, since it is dressed in gold, it lives up to its name.
The fully integrated heat sink made of copper has several advantages and some disadvantages. Typically, the copper heat pipes and these are being welded or somehow grip block of aluminum foils, which is a good transmitter of heat but not as good as copper. Using a sink made entirely of copper allows one to do soldering better and therefore, the heat dissipation is more uniform and efficient and greatly reducing the overall temperature of the device.
The drawbacks are obvious: the copper is heavier than aluminum and therefore, the final product is heavy. For instance, this GPU weighs 1,338 grams and non-copper model weighs 1,068 grams. Also, the copper is far more expensive, so integrating a heat sink made entirely of copper significantly increases the costing and therefore, sale price of the graphics card in higher than the aluminum one.
In addition to what has been said, this MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Golden Edition integrates a wide black back plate with the MSI Gaming dragon orange that covers the entire back of the PCB and also improves the aesthetics of the graphic card. On the opposite side, it incorporates two cooling fans responsible for cooling down the whole sink.
Finally, we are told that MSI has always used the best Military Class components to provide this GPU better stability and performance. It is factory overclocked and MSI has raised the operating speed of the core to the 1291 Mhz compared to 1279 Mhz reference version and 7096 MHz memory (GDDR5 effective) compared to 7010 Mhz stock.
So far MSI has not announced pricing or availability of this new graphic card but it kind of Limited Edition, so expect it to be very, very expensive.
Intel DC PC3608 is the newest solid state drive that is targeted towards business market whose function is to replace the current family of PC3600 and even surpasses the PC3700 in certain benchmark tests.
To achieve such spectacular results, Intel has decided to combine two of their former PC3600 units in a same PCB and increase data interface transmission to 8 tracks. It may not be the most refined way to increase the performance of these units, but the reality is that it meets the target. However, in the Intel DC PC3608 SSD benchmark, we did see the very high increase in the consumption.
Once installed on the system, the drive appears as two separate SSDs after a PLX PCIe switch, which means that to really be able to use the full capacity, one must have a motherboard that supports RAID 0 configurations. Such motherboards load balance the two controllers simultaneously.
However, this need for balancing means that the controller will never be able to double the performance of the PC3600 as you might initially think as always, a certain amount of overhead is generated.
Intel DC PC3608 price
The prices are obviously, very high. 1.6 TB unit costs $ 3,009, the 3.2 TB goes up to $ 7009 and the 4 TB costs $ 8,759. The 5-year warranty that comes standard is nothing – they should give it lifetime warranty.
