I want to clarify one thing: a hard drive can be a solid-state drive or an NVMe. Also, a solid-state drive. But the "hard drive" HDD is technically a traditional mechanical hard drive. Unlike the solid-state drive, data is stored on moving disks.

I covered Samsung's reveal of the Odyssey Neo G8 monitor a while back. It drew a lot of attention for being the first curved display with an ultra-fast 240Hz refresh rate and mini LED technology. Today, Samsung has attached a price tag to this gaming monitor, which is now up for sale.

At WWDC 2022, Apple revealed new software and a laptop, which is iOS 16, and the new MacBook Air. But what captured my attention the most was Apple's latest silicon chip, the M2 processor. Like the M1 chip, the new M2 will use Apple's Arm silicon and is constructed on a 5nm process. With that said, here's everything you need to know.

This past Wednesday, Microsoft launched the all-new Surface Laptop Go 2. It is different from the last-gen model because it has a full Windows 11 install and a more potent 11th-Gen Intel Core processor. In addition, it has a slight price bump at $599.

However, the gaming majority still relies on VSYNC technology.

However, the highly anticipated wait is finally over; you can now install Google Assistant on your Galaxy 4 smartwatch.

The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is one of the best sounding earbuds I've purchased. I know, bold praises considering I've yet tried other earbuds, such as the Sony WF-1000XM4 and Bose QuietComfort, both highly praised for their sound quality and garnering positive reviews from several publications.

Enermax is reputable for manufacturing affordable all-in-one liquid cooling solutions. But lately, consumers have had issues with a few defective coolers; the company voluntarily recalls the faulty devices. The defective models are black and white Liquimax lll ARGB 360 variants and Liquimax lll ARGB 240.

There are no signs of any leaking, which is good news. Leaking liquid solutions can cause irreparable damage to the motherboard. Instead, users did notice a spike in the CPU temperature. In addition, a manufacturing defect can cause the affected models over time to clog.

You usually don't have clogging issues with AIO coolers. However, impurities were mixed inside the radiator during manufacturing, even accumulating inside the pump. MSI recently recalled its MAG CoreLiquid 360R and 240R coolers, which experienced the same blockage issue.

Enermax has stated that a few manufacturers' coolers are affected by the defect. Furthermore, the defective cooler applies to models mainly in the Korean region, none in the US, and other areas worldwide.

Here's the list of coolers that may be defective;

• Limax III ARGB 360 Black (the first 4 digits of the serial number are 2012)

• Limax III ARGB 360 White (the first four digits of the serial number are 2119)

• Limax III ARGB 240 (the first 4 digits of the serial number are 2012)

Cynex will be handling all recalls, a significant distributor out of Korea. They will accept claims for the next 12 months (until April 30, 2023). After that, it will replace defective coolers for free even if there is no clogging issue. In addition, the replacement models come with a 5-year warranty after the exchange, not the time of purchase.

Who would have thought playing graphically intensive games on a laptop would be possible today.

I've outlined several key factors you need to follow.

In my opinion, Apple's AirTag and many devices alike are pure genius. The ultimate yet simple solution to tracking lost items such as keys, backpacks, and wallets.
