Event

Plenty of the technology that will be available in stores across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) for the rest of this year will depend on the outcome of more than 6,000 meetings that will take place at the DISTREE show in France at the end of February. Ahead of the …

While you, I and a lot of enthusiasts and gamers are excited by virtual reality, there's still a lot of people that have no idea what all the hype is about. Some just haven't tried it, but others don't believe in it and more still, have yet to even hear …

This week has been an exciting one with CES ongoing in Las Vegas, but Oculus nearly stole the show by launching its pre-orders earlier this week. Although buyers were asked to put down a little more than expected for their future HMD, detailed images of the headset and its accessories …

If there's one feature that could sum up keyboards in 2015, it would be RGB backlighting. Thanks to the development of clear switch housings, every mechanical board can now feature uniform (ish) LED backlighting and many manufacturers have jumped on that. Cooler Master was one of them, but it's not …

Edward Snowden has made an appearance at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Not, as you might expect, in person, but on a display with its own locomotion, looking rather like the meeting room in Demolition Man. The technology was really important, Snowden said, because it allowed him to talk at …

Despite the two wheeled ‘hoverboards' being one of the more recent boom and bust industries in the tech world, with bans and warnings of dangerous batteries, companies are still iterating on the idea. Are they allowed to though? One Chinese manufacturer has had its CES booth raided by U.S. marshals …

As much as 3D printers are an awesome invention offering home-brew modellers and enthusiasts a chance to create lots of fun items out of plastic, you do still need resin or some other uncommon building materials to actually construct them with. Not so with Mcor's Arke though, as it uses …

2015 was in many ways, a disappointing year. For all of its technological breakthroughs and attempts at hoverboards, the hard truth is that the year came and went without a viable flying car. Doc Brown would be sorely disappointed. However perhaps there's hope yet, as despite the failings of the …

Although far from its largest show of the year, Multiplay's major Christmas LAN event, Insomnia 56 (i56) still has a lot on show. While we'd love to take you all with us on a virtual tour of the entire show, we can't quite afford that new Nokia VR camera just …

Although Oculus is the darling of the virtual reality world, HTC's Vive headset has been making waves since it started shipping out to developers who wanted to build games and experiences for its commercial release. However the general public have had a chance to play around with the headset and …

Having invented the solid state drive (SSD) in 1991, SanDisk doesn't mess around when it comes to innovation and the company has over 5,000 patents in play right now. Being the third largest flash memory manufacturer in the world, alongside a strong partnership with Toshiba, means that it's able to …

There are two ways to approach any major sale. Get something that you've had your eye on for sometime for less money or use the money you've put aside to ‘trade up' for something altogether better. After being voted the KitGuru reader's ‘Reseller of the Year' in 2013 and 2014, …

The technology business is all about partnerships. Two or more companies combining resources to open a market or make new deals. For the US-imported retail holiday known as ‘Black Friday 2015', UK-based system builder DinoPC has formed a WWE-style Tag Team with monitor giant AOC. KitGuru casts an eye over the …

From an artificial holiday with zero impact in the UK five years ago, Black Friday has becomes a huge focus for technology retailers across the globe. Here in the UK, we have a history of starting sales early. The January sales 2016 will happen at the end of 2015, and the …

We should have seen it coming. The '90s were all about dinosaurs, and the '00s were all about zombies, so of course this decade would be all about dinosaurs again. Not every game needs to be like Ark: Survival Evolved though. In-fact, the games we play with dinosaurs should be …

The October MCM Comic Con kicked off in London over the weekend and I was fortunate enough to attend. While I wasn't there in any sort of ‘official' capacity, I did take a few pictures of what I saw there on Saturday to share with our readers today.   As …

KitGuru were invited to spend some time with Intel on 21st October at Shoreditch Studios, London. Intel used a photographic studio in a converted railway arch in Shoreditch to display a show case of new laptops from a selection of its partners. KitGuru saw models from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, …

Traditionally, Acer's reputation was built on cramming as many cool-sounding technologies as possible into a simple chassis with a low price. The global downturn in 2008 caused a rethink at this $11 billion corporation and, since then, there has been a much greater focus on design aesthetics. Last night's launch …

If you like games, then EGX, formerly the Eurogamer Expo, is a fun place to visit. It's got something for everyone, whether you're into shooters, RTS, puzzlers, card battlers or any other number of genres; you're catered for. However, as much as the big games are all exciting, with their …

Tesla is set to launch its Model X 4×4 later today, webcasting the entire show for viewers around the world and releasing more information on the vehicle than ever before. Company founder Elon Musk made the announcement himself earlier today, linking through to a page for the vehicle that teases …

Since we spent much less of our time at EGX 2015 queuing than we have at previous years, that meant we didn't have as much time to look around aimlessly as we might do. That said, there were still some booths which really caught our attention for their statues, giant …

One of the biggest issues with attending a lot of the biggest game shows in the UK and elsewhere around the world, is that they involve a lot of queuing. We saw it at this year's big Multiplay Insomnia series festival and we saw it was last year's EGX in …

The TeSPA collegiate esports organisation has announced a new scholarship fund of $100,000 that will go up for grabs for teams of three that play Blizzard's collectible card brawler, Hearthstone, in an effort to cultivate more competitive esports talent in the U.S. Known as the Collegiate Hearthstone Championship, the competition …

Multiplay, the gaming server provider and host of the multiple-yearly-Insomnia gaming festival and LAN parties, has announced that with its next event, the winter LAN, it will be moving from its current home at Coventry's Ricoh Arena, to Birmingham NEC. This will allow it to fit in more gaming space, …

Insomnia i55 might make you walk a long way to get there, but i55 is, like most Multiplay events, packed with interesting things to look at and do. There's a few new games to try, a lot of hardware on show and plenty of desktop PCs that will make you …

Multiplay's latest Insomnia event, i55, has a parking problem. It's not clear if it's just because it's become a victim of its own success, has been planned poorly, or a combination of the two, but there are thousands of people who have been unable to park near enough to the …

Cooler Master held a Press briefing at their European HQ in Eindhoven. In part they wanted to show off their new building but mainly they wanted to talk some more about their ‘Master' concept. In the past Eindhoven was a Philips town but these days their manufacturing is subcontracted which …

With the release of Windows 10 yesterday – July 29th, 2015 – Microsoft had launch events in 13 cities across the world. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend one such event in Old Billingsgate, London. More than just a celebration of the new OS and its release …

Of all of the big trailer dumps in the past 72 hours, most have been cam recordings from the back of a room at Comic Con, making us feel a little sad that those people didn't soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the high quality version that we couldn't watch. …

As the Electronics Entertainment Event (E3) prepares to kick off in the Los Angeles Convention Centre, KitGuru managed to get an exclusive interview with Razer CEO and Founder, Min-Liang Tan. As well as getting a feel for what's coming at E3, we also managed to speak with him about how he …
