When building my current PC, I didn’t consider the power supply. I figured it would do the job as long as it provided what I needed, but I didn’t leave much room for improvement. I didn’t realise how much of an oversight I had made until ASUS provided us with
I’ve often fantasised about having a small monitor in my case, though I don’t know why. It doesn’t seem like a practical idea, but it sure as hell looks cool, and the “Rule of Cool” trumps everything. Clearly, ASUS Republic of Gamers feels the same, and they must have read

For many, the idea of working for a website that focuses on video games is a breeze; play a game for a few days, jot down your thoughts, and then turn those notes into a review. Job’s a good’un, right? That’s what I thought when I first came on board,
Thinking of a catchy way to start this review has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do during my time working with the team at MKAU Gaming. It’s not because the product is bad; it’s actually really good, but when I collected the ASUS RT-BE68U WiFi 7

When it comes to laptops and notebooks, I’ve always been the kind of person who has just dealt with having a limited number of ports, and half of the time, the only ones I ever bothered to use were the USB ports. I also didn’t consider using external monitors with
As much as I’d like to think it does, go-faster panels and colourful RGB don’t affect a computer’s performance. Sometimes, simpler is better.

While a gaming computer is more than capable of performing normal office-style work, it can be beneficial to have a second device dedicated to the task. It wasn’t something I had considered in the past. After spending the last couple of years performing work-related duties on my gaming PC, I
