Introduction

The manufacturer of LCD displays AOC, as a rule, prefers simple, but rather elegant design of their monitors. The company is interested in attracting customers, for whom the appearance of image output devices is as important as the quality of the picture. Aiming to turn the attraction to the new products, AOC has arranged the cooperation with the design studio F. A. Porsche. Today we will get acquainted with the result of the of AOC and Studio F. A. Porsche specialists partnership. A new series of AOC PDS monitors, which included models PDS241 and PDS271 with a screen diagonal of 23.8 and 27 inches respectively.

The recommended prices for the new products are € 219 and € 299.

Indiegogo presented its groundbreaking product, being the Q-Stick breloque computer. The developers believe this project will result in producing the most effective device of the class.

 

The specialty is planned to be manufactured in two modifications — Blaze Plus and Blaze Pro. The first one got the Atom x7-Z8700 processor (this 14 nm solution has four 64-bit Airmont cores, the 8th generation Intel graphics and the 2-channel controller of the LPDDR3 memory. The 1.6 GHz clock rate may be boosted to 2.4 GHz.

 

The Blaze Pro version obtained the Atom x7-Z8750 chip with four computing cores, operating at the 1.6 GHz rated clock speed. The ultimate clock reaches 2.56 GHz.

 

The devices are supplied with 8 GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11n/ac wireless adapters, a slot for the microSD card of up to 128 GB capacity, the HDMI connector, two USB 3.0 ports, the USB Type-C interface, as well as the …

In the nearest time, Thermalright is going to present TRUE Spirit 120 Direct, which is a cooling device of an average efficiency. This construction weighs around 600 g and is 120 mm long, 67 mm wide and 141 mm high. It will apparently cost less than TRUE Spirit 140 Direct models (going for approximately $47).



The heatsink of TRUE Spirit 120 Direct consists of an aluminium pressure plate, four U-shaped copper nickelized 6 mm heat pipes and tens of perforated aluminium plates. The 120 mm fan is attached to the radiator by standard wire spikes. The rotary speed of this unit is unknown yet, however, taking into account another 120 mm fan cooler (TRUE Spirit 120M BW Rev.A), we may assume it will not exceed 1,500 rpm.


It is remarkable that in the lower part the fan is located almost at the base level. Such a strange design may prove its worth in systems, including motherboards with massive, but ineffective VRM heatsinks.
