Corsair Flash Voyager USB Thumb Drive Unboxing & First Look

Posted by: Linus on 30th December 2009

Today I do a quick unboxing of the Corsair Flash Voyager USB thumb drive. It falls somewhere in the middle of the pack in terms of read and write speeds, but the main marketing bullet point is that it’s extremely rugged and durable. Obviously it’s not quite as indestructible as the Survivor but it still holds its own.

The X6 has some pretty unique features including the way it handles macros, the way you can detach the number pad and put it on the right if you’re a south paw, and the way it lights up the WASD keys (oh wait, that one’s not that unique). But seriously this keyboard looks really good, and for the price it’s a unique value in the market.

Much like the other Indilinx based SSDs out there, the G.Skill Falcon II series drives are top performers and a great value compared to the other solutions on the market.

Today I have a look at another part of ASUS’ new P55 lineup featuring USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s. This is a fully featured board including 16+3 phase power (which somehow equals 24 phase power) as well as support for SLI and Crossfire.

Here it is! As requested, I’ve finally started unboxing some of the new AMD boards that feature USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s. This is Gigabyte’s flagship AM3 board right now and it comes with all of the bells and whistles. Sorry the video is a bit long, but there’s a lot to cover.

This product comes along at kinda a weird time given that it works based on the USB 2.0 standard rather than the newer, faster, better USB 3.0 standard, but that doesn’t make it any less interesting. I’ve always found it very frustrating that you can’t simply plug your laptop into your desktop via USB and just drag and drop files between them, but now you can! You can also share an optical drive which could be a HUGE boon for netbook users who only use an optical drive to install software once in a blue moon.

Today I’m having a quick look at the Crosshair III Formula, which is arguably the most “premium” AM3 board out there since it’s the top of the range “Republic of Gamers” board from ASUS.

BlueAnt S1 Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit Setup Video

Posted by: Linus on 28th December 2009

Thought I’d do a quick video on how to actually pair the BlueAnt S1 to your phone. It takes only a couple of minutes and it’s quite easy to do.

Today I have a quick look at the BlueAnt S1, which is a very popular handsfree car kit right now. With the laws changing here in Vancouver about driving with a cell phone, these are becoming very popular very fast.

Posted by: Linus on 27th December 2009

The Abyssus is one of a couple of new Razer mice that I will be unboxing. It’s an ambidextrous mouse with a focus on “no-nonsense” performance oriented design without frills & gimmicks.
