They are here. The moment awaited by many has come.

The term “gaming” has invaded the PC market in a very profound way, there is basically no component or peripheral that does have the word “gaming” in its model. The latest one is the SSD XPG SX8000 from ADATA, a model with M.2 format and a high performance NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. It’s capable …
Apple has tried to compete with some PC concepts, especially with Microsoft’s Surface Pro, with a more capable version of their flagship tablet. We have tried the latest version, the one with the 9.7” screen, and this is what we experienced in terms of its usefulness for work and other work related tasks.
We have focused on our personal experience and on our daily working needs so a lot of you surely won’t agree with our final thoughts. However, these are ours and they have been reached after two weeks of heavy usage.
I think it’s important to briefly talk about the iPad Pro’s hardware, specifically the 9.7” model, in order to focus on the options and storage capacities it can offer. We’re talking about a medium sized tablet which features a retina display with the standard retina resolution. However, the screen on this model has better color capabilities than the traditional iPad models. The display offers more color depth, less glare and is also much brighter. True Tone technology makes it one of the market’s most capable display, giving it the ability to adapt perfectly to ambient light via a four channel sensor.
The screen also includes a stylus called the Apple Pencil, which will be sold separately for more than 100 Euros. Inside lies an Apple A9X processor with two high performance cores and a graphics processor, making it one of the most powerful SOCs available. It comes with 2GB of RAM and a minimum of storage capacity of 32GB, but also available are a 64 and 128 GB versions.
One of the advantages of USB Type-C is that it’s about a connector that is suitable for many “needs”: actually, it’s able to manage audio and video signals, and transfer energy. To avoid the necessity to use intermediate adapters and connectors, anyway, it’s required that the specs permit the several streams. In the case of …
Today we will begin analysing a feature that belongs, in a crucial way, our mechanical keyboard that the gaming passionate already know it very well: I am talking about the switches MX blue, brown, red, black and clear that are all products on a large-scale coming from the Cherry company that owns the rights of them.
The major part of us could consider the differences between the different types of mechanical switches meaningless, but who uses keyboard for working typing in for many hours a day has different thought about it.
These people are well aware about how much these little precautions can improve the comfort when typing and, inevitably, this mainly depends on the type of switches that are used.
Windows 7 is still the most widely used operating system in the world, and it is expected to hold that position at least another year. However, as the news tend to give account of what is new, perhaps it is often left aside. Well then, today on Softzone we’ll make an exception and talk about what is the best antivirus available for Windows 7.
Windows 7 was launched on 2009, so it is currently in its seventh year of life. And the truth is it’s still in very good health, showing that, until proven otherwise, Windows 7 is still the best operating system in history.
ASUS is preparing to launch its new laptop model Zenbook UX410, noted for its narrow bezels, updating its hardware to Intel Kaby Lake processors and -we expect- a price more restrained than the big premium ultrabooks. Zenbook UX410 offers a 14 inches display but its 6mm bezels allow it to keep a total size equivalent …
Surely more than once you thought about a way to download a full website to navigate through it without being connected to the Internet. Surely something very useful when you expect to be offline for some time, like when you go on a trip somewhere without signal, or when you go through a path with an unreliable data coverage or unstable WiFi connection and you would like to browse a particular site as if you were online.
It is true that modern browsers can download the different pages of the same site in HTML format for viewing offline, but it limits the power to navigate to other options, menus or content, since the links are lost and keep on pointing to the online version. This way you only download the page on which you clicked Save as Webpage.
NVIDIA published a job listing looking for an engineer to “help produce the next revolutionary Apple products”, and of course this made us assume that either both companies are in talks to use the new NVIDIA graphics cards in the next generation of Apple laptops, or they already have an agreement to do so.
In the past, Apple used to offer its computers with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, but for several product generations the people in Cupertino limited their options to either use an Intel integrated graphics or a dedicated AMD, leaving NVIDIA out of the equation. This appears to have changed, or at least it may be assumed since otherwise it would be absurd for NVIDIA to publish such job listing.
