The seventh generation of Intel processors, codenamed Kaby Lake, already made its appearance in the low-voltage range of laptops, however, it’s still missing in the market of high performance notebooks and desktop, but we won’t have to wait long. Seventh-generation Intel Core Kaby Lake processors will hit the desktop market on January 2, a few …
After the launch of the new Sony console many users were left with a big question, whether they should choose the PS4 or the PS4 Pro, and it is natural, since the second has not finished convincing us and is still swimming in a sea of uncertainty.
We say this because the improvements we have seen in games of both consoles are in generally quite small, and because of that many users do not find enough motivation to opt for PS4 Pro, although at the same time they question if this is just something temporary and if it will end up being improved in the short term, when developers start getting the gist of said console.
All this leaves us with a difficult decision, and now that we have Black Friday and Christmas shopping coming soon, we want to help you dispel doubts and clarify ideas a bit, so that you can choose the system that best suits you.
Sony has “sold” PS4 Pro as a 4K console and it really is not, at least not strictly speaking. It uses rescaling techniques and HDR, elements that allow it to offer an improvement in graphic quality without consuming too many resources, but that obviously does not reach the level of what would be a native 4K experience.
You try to turn on the computer and nothing happens. You scratch your head, check that all of the cables are connected and that the power button on the power strip is lit, but nothing. It’s highly likely that the power supply is dead. We will show you how to replace it.

In my experience, the components that fail the most in a computer – with normal use – are the hard drive, the power supply, the motherboard and the graphics card, in that order. The ones that fail the least are the optical drives, RAM and the processor. So, if your computer seems to turn on and even produces some sort of beeping sound, you will need to check the error code in the motherboard’s manual. At first, it doesn’t seem to be a power issue. However, if nothing happens when you press the power button it’s likely that there is something wrong with the power supply.
This new ASUS graphics card custom model is based on the versatile GTX 1060 chip, a GPU capable of seamlessly running all titles at 1080p resolution.

Surely these technologies will come integrated in the 300 series of Intel that will arrive for desktop and portable systems later in 2017. This will allow an even greater integration in this type of systems, but will also be a blow to the makers of added chip with both technologies. The news, for the users, …
Trend Micro is certainly not the most popular antivirus producer of all. However, it has found a place among some of the leading companies such as Kaspersky, Norton and even ESET in proposing accessible security solutions. The producer also plays an active role on the web and carries out frequent publishes of detailed reports in areas of security. The most recent was moreover related with the French Dark net. This year, Trend Micro stands ready to introduce its newest wave with its flagship solution: Internet Security. We have closely studied it here for you.
Like most antiviruses available in the market, Trend Micro facilitates its users with a downloading tool allowing to download the most recently updated version of the software. The full installer of the 2017 version carries only 112 Mb. Once the download is successful, the tool then proceeds to data decompression.
First your computer is checked for compatibility before initiating the actual installation procedure which, as usual, is carried out by entering the serial number followed by agreeing to the license agreement. The installation will then run smoothly for less than 5 minutes.
Kaspersky is the first security solution publisher to present its new line of software this year. Three products allowing to secure computers and especially the privacy of the users. They are: Kaspersky Antivirus 2017, Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 and Kaspersky Total Security 2017. Thanks to its significant performance and intuitive tools, Kaspersky had managed to place second in our 2016 antivirus comparison. But what about 2017? Will Kaspersky rank among the best suites of security on the market once again? The answer is here, in this Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 test.
While Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 was installed without a hitch last year on our test PC, the 2017 edition is another story. Indeed, the download step was completed with ease, however, we encountered an error during the installation step which forced us to restart the computer to start over again. A small hiccup at the start that fortunately did not occur again later.
Last year, Bitdefender Internet Security 2016 exited us. So what can we expect this year? With the punctuality of a Swiss Watch, the antivirus editor is offering us again a new version of its popular security suite. A version which will help Bitdefender prove that it is still way ahead of its time. Nowadays, the so-called ‘classic’ viruses are no longer the only threat that lurks on the internet. So, is Bitdefender Internet Security 2017 keeping up with the changing times? Does it offer a sufficient protection on a daily basis? That’s what we’re going to check in our test.
It’s a fact that sometimes our antivirus tests go wrong as early as the installation step, however, this was never the case for Bitdefender and it isn’t this year either. The installer, which you can get on our website, launches without a hitch. Promptly, the software asks the user to identify himself with a Bitdefender Central account. This system which was integrated last year has met nothing but positive reception. It allows to centralize installations of antiviruses on different devices and see the full list from a single web page. It is actually possible to install the antivirus directly from this web page by clicking on “my devices” then on “install Bitdefender”.

All major brands are doing big presentations of high-end monitors for gamers, and although it was LG which recently it introduced its new ultra-wide models of monitors, it is now Samsung’s turn with a new model, the CFG70.
This gaming monitor from Samsung has the distinctive feature of using Quantum Dot technology, present in high-end TVs of the brand, like the KS9000, and that allows us to have superior contrast and color quality to that we are accustomed to, even higher than IPS panels.
