Cougar Armor Gaming Chair Review

by

We use chairs every day and when you use a chair every day, you forget what real comfort is in a chair.  Sometimes you get so used to a chair that you can’t imagine changing it and you probably don’t even think about it, I know it’s happened to me.  It’s with that same mentality that I look at gaming chairs and think,… who would pay that much for a chair… it’s a chair…  and … Read more

Mixcder MSH169 Computer Speaker Review

by

So after having the Mixcder MSH169 speakers for roughly three weeks now, I’ve been able to step back and truly make a judgment on these speakers… the design is what sold me, not the sound. Here’s what I got from these speakers: Sound: Highs – The highs on this speaker are okay. They’re not the loudest speakers but they’re also not the quietest. Although they do seem well balanced when turned up to loud volumes, the voices don’t distort, … Read more

Everywhere you look there is a tablet or a laptop and of course the inevitable phone but the problem is sometimes you need all 3 for productivity sake.
