This is the cheapest 4K OLED we have seen to-date, as it's currently retailing for under £500 here in the UK. That money gets you a 4th Gen QD-OLED panel, with a 27in screen size, UHD resolution and 240Hz refresh rate.

Just a few weeks after reviewing the 36 gram Sabre V2 Pro, Corsair has returned with two more premium versions built from magnesium and carbon fibre. They’re heavier, more rigid and undeniably more refined, with improved battery life and added Bluetooth support. But in chasing a more premium feel, Corsair has moved away from the extreme lightweight identity that made the original stand out. The question is whether that trade-off makes these better overall… or simply different.

The Arctic Senza promises the ultimate stealth PC experience by packing a 12-core Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and 32GB of LPDDR5X memory into a completely passive, desk mounted chassis. On paper, it looks like a whisper-quiet productivity powerhouse capable of handling heavy workloads without breaking a sweat or making a single sound. But does this fanless design actually hold up under sustained pressure, or do the inevitable compromises of a silent PC outweigh the engineering marvel?

ASUS isn’t short on gaming headsets, but the ROG Kithara feels like something a little different. Developed in collaboration with HiFiMan and built around large 100mm planar magnetic drivers, it aims to blur the line between traditional gaming headsets and more studio-focused audiophile headphones. Priced at £284.99 in the UK, the Kithara sits firmly in premium territory, promising detailed, spacious sound for both competitive gaming and music listening. Does it justify the price?

NZXT is back with a new compact chassis - the H2 Flow. Designed as a follow-up to the H1, this small form factor case focuses on airflow, improved layout and support for more powerful hardware. With full mesh panels and support for up to a 280mm AIO, it looks like NZXT has addressed some of the biggest criticisms of its previous ITX design. In this review, James takes a detailed look at the H2 Flow, covering build quality, ease of installation, cable management and compatibility with modern GPUs. We also test thermals and noise to see how it performs under load. If you’re planning a compact ITX build, there are a few important limitations to be aware of before buying.

Finally… A Clean, No-RGB Gaming PC

KitGuruTech March 27, 2026 4:26 pm

Intel invited KitGuru to discuss the new Core Ultra 200S Plus processors, but this quickly turned into a much broader conversation about performance, pricing, software optimisation and the future of Intel’s desktop gaming strategy. In this interview, Leo Waldock speaks directly with Robert Hallock and Intel’s technical team about what went wrong with Arrow Lake, what has changed with the new 'Plus' processors, and how Intel plans to compete moving forward. Intel openly discuss driver issues, software optimisation, gaming performance versus AMD, CU-DIMM memory, and their approach to rebuilding enthusiast mindshare. Most notably, they admit that progress will take time - but also claim they are working towards a return to the 'good old days'. What you’ll hear in this video: • Intel Platform Performance Package explained • Binary optimisation and how it works • Gaming performance vs AMD’s X3D CPUs • CU-DIMM memory - mainstream or niche? • Power modes and latency issues • Intel’s roadmap and Nova Lake discussion • Intel’s response to losing enthusiast mindshare • Future plans for gaming CPUs and software optimisation 00:00 Intro 01:06 What is the connection? 09:49 AMD Gaming Edge? 12:09 CUDIMM / 4 Rank, legitimate mainstream technology? 18:30 Power Modes 20:33 Novalake and the plan going forward 22:28 Intel want to say a few things 24:00 AMD market share in enthusiast sector 25:40 Intel respond to Leo’s question 27:31 Gaming systems, Intel’s hope for future We never offer affiliate links or take percentages of product sales.

Intel Admit They Are Resetting The Roadmap

KitGuruTech March 24, 2026 8:06 pm

Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus review. Intel Arrow Lake launched late in 2024 and landed with a dull thump of disappointment. After some serious rework by Intel, the processors moved from ‘awful’ to ‘interesting’, but today’s launch of the Core Ultra 200S Plus range shows us what we should have had from the start. These new processors offer both performance and strong value for money, coming as a welcome course correction for Intel’s desktop lineup.
