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

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,

For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing around with the ‘ASUS Republic of Gamers Zephyrus G16 2024 GA605 gaming laptop’, and more specifically, the newer series equipped with AMD processors. I tend to favour Intel with my builds, and there’s no real reason for it, but this portable powerhouse
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. Built with portability in mind, this is where the durable ASUS TUF Gaming A14 laptop finds itself. Clean and simple dark grey panels hide an overachieving system,
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
