ASUS ROG Strix Scar III (G531GW) Review (i9-9880H / RTX 2070)
|
 Deploying Nvidia’s RTX 2070 GPU alongside the new Intel Core i9-9880H eight-core CPU is a guaranteed way to get gaming laptop enthusiasts to pay attention. That’s exactly what ASUS does with the new ROG Strix Scar III G531GW gaming laptop. But rather than simply settling on a powerful combination of GPU and CPU, ASUS ups the fight by equipping its premium, yet not oversized, offering with a 15.6” 1080P screen that can run at 240Hz. No, that’s not a typo – 15.6 inches of 240Hz gaming laptop goodness.
And when we venture outside of the eye-catching CPU, GPU, and screen columns on the spec sheet, ASUS’ ROG Strix Scar III G531GW is still impressive. Our model ships with 32GB of dual-channel DDR4-2666 memory, a 1TB Intel 660p NVMe SSD, and Intel Gigabit WiFi. Oh, and let’s not forget everybody’s favourite customisation point – RGB lighting delivered through ASUS’ well-built AURA Sync.

Corsair NIGHTSWORD RGB Gaming Mouse Review
|
|
"Just when I thought I had a new favorite mouse in Corsair’s IronClaw RGB Wireless, but they have another new mouse that they are releasing today. It is called the NIGHTSWORD RGB and it has some pretty awesome features whether you are a professional gamer or even just a casual gamer. The NIGHTSWORD RGB is the first mouse from Corsair we’ve seen in a while with a tunable weight system. What’s really cool about that is Corsair’s iCUE software will detect the NIGHTSWORD RGB’s weight and center of gravity in real-time for more in-depth customization. On top of the tunable weight system you also have a custom PixArt PMW3391 18,000 DPI sensor, OMRON switches, a very interesting design with textured rubber grips, and of course RGB lighting. Let’s see if this is the perfect mouse for you!"

The Nighthawk AX8 is an 8-stream router and is part of an initial offering within Netgear’s WiFi 6 range.

This latest standard improves 2.4GHz & 5GHz operation and supports the newer 160MHz channels, and in doing so broadly increases support for multiple high-bandwidth devices.
