Event

Over at the Distree 2013 event in Monte Carlo, the cream of the European, Middle East and African (EMEA) IT industry have gathered for 3 days of friendly connection, competitive jostling and a little mutual commiseration. Alongside the technology show itself, break out rooms are filled with briefers eager to …

While TCO was a buzz word back in the 90s for complete business infrastructures, it looks like Asus is planning to bring the idea front and centre for the 21st century – any it's not stopping at the ‘system level'. We caught up with Ellina Webb, Asus PR Guru and …

After the huge success of Angry Birds and all the other iPad-o-sphere games that followed, it looks like the next generation of man-machine interface is going to be a lot more mature.

By the end of the first week in March, hundreds of thousands of souls will have passed through the gates to the Hannover Messe – one of the world's largest trade fair grounds. But to the experienced eye, it will look like a ghost town. KitGuru tallies the numbers to …

At CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Antec was on hand to launch the brand new GX700 chassis. KitGuru has done some investigation into the UK and European launch pricing. Seems attractive, so what are you getting for your money? There was a time when Antec chassis ruled the world (of …

CES in Las Vegas is a time when the riders ride, into the night, into the West, to see who's gun's the best. Are they all fools? To live by the rules?  When we know that the rider wearing black, is gonna gonna shoot em in the back. KitGuru sets …

While the claim has yet to be proven in the KitGuru Labs, we have been told by Asus that its new Republic of Gamers ARES II is the fastest card ever. That means ROG wants Sapphire's 6GB 7970 Toxic, KitGuru's Product of the Year 2012, to move over. Is there …

Way back in 1985, a couple of students were discussing technology and touched on the idea of a 1GB memory module. The idea that so much data could be stores in one place – at one time – seemed incredible. They're now both associated with KitGuru and both made the …

With an array of new products coming through thick and fast from AMD, one of the last lines in any press release seems to refer to the ‘software experience'. No – we had no idea either. Rather than try to explain it – or draw stick men having the experience …

Both Intel and AMD have been puffing out their collective chests when it comes to graphics in the integrated market. It's the one area where AMD has consistently beaten Intel in recent years. It's an area where Intel is working overtime to redress the balance while AMD is running like …

From the time we first saw the next generation of APUs (codenamed Richland) on AMD roadmaps, back in November, the general consensus among the press community was that ‘nothing much' would be delivered. The announcement from AMD is that things have got measurably better. KitGuru pulls out a stop watch …

As we've already reported, there is a big push from Silverstone at CES on cool and small. Which is a good thing. While the standard ‘Sugo' branding makes it hard to understand what exactly you're buying (means ‘sauce' in Italian) the ‘Petite' is a little clearer. KitGuru pulls out a …

While it still remains a rumour mere days before the annual electronics show begins, Intel could be set to debut a new type of set top box at CES, that would allow for what is being described as, “virtual cable TV.” The idea behind it is that it would offer streaming …

With the Consumer Electronics Show just over two weeks away we are starting to get a better idea of what will be teased, demonstrated and unveiled at the convention. The latest reports suggests that Samsung's display division will show off a pair of flexible displays that could one day change …

We're seeing a lot of companies poking 2 fingers up at the poor Mayans these days – and the latest double digit salute comes from British technology specialist Aria. Taking ‘ignoring the warnings of natives' to the extreme, we're being told that the 12-12-12 campaign starts at 12pm on the …

Firework displays are good, but even if you spend £30 on an air-bomb battery of some kind, it's all over in a few seconds and the impression is rarely lasting. If you invest £10,000,000 on an event, you can bet your life that it will give you memories that will …

Gamers from across Europe have battled the adverse weather conditions and descended upon the International Centre in Telford for the last i-Series LAN of the year, i47.  This is a smaller event than the summer i-Series (i46 this year).  KitGuru's reporters were on hand to take a look around. We …

The world is becoming an inherently more graphical, more tactile place where we – as users – are being pulled to the mainframe data storage concepts of old (where all the important stuff is being held elsewhere), while at the same time seeing big increases in locally available compute power …

One of the more interesting stands at Multiplay i46 was the Cooler Master one. Not only did they have a clever ball-throwing-challenge for serious prizes, they also had a huge range of gaming peripherals on show and, without doubt, one of the most gorgeous overclocked systems we've seen. KitGuru sets …

For as long as there have been battles, there has been the ‘telling of the tale'. For the Vikings, it was mead and roast pig around wooden tables while the stories would grow bigger and wilder with each telling. These days, forensically accurate uploads of gaming sequences are the method …

As the final stragglers made their way to the huge campsite, pitched their tents and lugged their weapons of destruction to the multiple halls of the Telford International Centre, KitGuru took a step back to consider the scale of this event in 2012. We must confess, we were simply not …

Without doubt, i46 is the best Multiplay LAN gaming event ever. We say ‘is', because it doesn't finish until Monday – so there's still time if you want to go along and see what all the fuss is about. This report focuses on a very special chassis coming soon from …

It's that time of year again, when gamers from across Europe flock to the International Centre in Telford to attend what has become the biggest gaming festival in the UK.  This bank holiday weekend marks the 46th iteration of Multiplay's Insomnia series which will accommodate over 3000 gamers for five …
