    System Builder Marathon Q3 2014: High-End Performance PC

    I love the SBM articles that Tom's publishes, and read them regularly. However with respect to the self-limiting / self imposed (or perhaps not self) budget constraints, I feel that often the various builds end up feeling somewhat dated. I understand this is a result of the criteria that are...

    NEC PA272W 27-Inch Monitor Review: Accuracy And Flexibility

    Every time Tom's Hardware reviews monitors, I keep posting in the comments that they should review NEC and EIZO for accuracy in comparison to the usual suspects. Finally my prayers have been answered. (Not that there are not other places that have not already done a good job of including...

    Dell UltraSharp 24 Ultra HD Monitor: The $1300 UP2414Q

    I understand that the whole point of this review is for 4k monitors. But since it was equally pointed out in the beginning of the review that this is squarely aimed at photographers and other imaging professionals, why not do a shootout with these Dells against some non 4k competition from NEC...

    Windows 8.1 Update Must Be Installed by May 13

    "Since Microsoft wants to ensure that customers benefit from the best support" Since Microsoft wants to ensure that everyone has a good experience, we will take away your security updates unless you do EXACTLY as we say. Brilliant.

    What Does It Take To Turn The PC Into A Hi-Fi Audio Platform?

    Bravo ! Awesome, and a very thorough review. Even though as you mention, audio gear is not usually the forté/emphasis of the reviews here, it's refreshing to have someone at least try to cut through the (more often-than-not) overpriced arena of bullshit that is the field of "high-end" audio...

    Samsung S27B971D 27-Inch QHD Monitor, Reviewed

    How would this compare to something like an EIZO ColorEdge CG276 (also 2560 x 1440 IPS),http://www.eizo.com/global/products/coloredge/cg276/index.html or say something like the NEC MultiSync PA302W? (30" 2560x1600)http://www.necdisplay.com/p/desktop-monitors/pa302w-bkTom's should do a comparison...

    Google Glass May Greet You on Your Next Flight

    I can see a lot of these fake smiley/happy people wearing these things getting punched in the face for very trivial if any reason at all. Furthermore, I suspect theft of these devices will be rampant, and "forgetting" your glasses or losing them someplace even more common.And, to be honest, I'm...

    Asus Smartwatch Will Be "Feature Packed"

    "That is, PCs will soon be sold as barebones with docking ports or some form of wireless technology to facilitate connection (either 802.11 or Bluetooth)."Couldn't agree with you more.I can see a day where PCs are illegal, and buying PC components is criminalized.Just give people govt. included...

    Vuzix Smart Glasses Beat Google Glass to Market
