Review: Boston SuperFlex MicroBlade

Introduction and design Like other blade server platforms, the concept behind the Boston SuperFlex MicroBlade is an easy one. Take a bunch of servers (in this case up to 28 Intel Xeon dual-socket servers) and, instead of putting each inside a separate 1U rack-mount chassis, fix them onto hot-swap ‘sleds’, then slide those sleds into a compact enclosure (here it’s just 6U high) to save massively on rack space. But

New Ant-Man trailer pits Rudd against Thomas the Tank Engine

Marvel has just revealed a new trailer for Ant-Man, and actually, it’s looking pretty good. The action and drama might not break the Marvel mould, but the Ant-Man is shaping up to be the funniest of the superhero movies so far. The trailer is worth a watch for the Thomas the Tank Engine cameo alone. The movie will be hitting cinemas on July 17. YouTube : www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWdKf3MneyI

Review: Toshiba Satellite P50t B-11D

Introduction and design As a touch 4K laptop, Toshiba’s business-targeted Satellite P50T B-11D was expected to make an impact, visually at least. Toshiba call it the ‘world’s first 4K Ultra HD laptop’ and claim it delivers ‘true colour accuracy’, allowing you to see movies, photography and art as the artist intended. To back up that claim, they’ve crammed some solid hardware in there – but is it enough? And what

Review: TP-Link Archer D9

Introduction and performance The CEOs of other networking brands may well be losing sleep over TP-Link. In just a few years, this Chinese firm has come from nowhere to carve itself a slice of the market, not just by undercutting its rivals, but also by making consistently high quality products with good design value. Most of the TP-Link 802.11ac routers I’ve tested have been affordable without seriously compromising on quality

The PC Gamer: Grand Theft Naughty! How modders could fulfil GTA V's naked ambition

Introduction What’s that? We’re finally on the cusp of GTA V hitting the PC? I think we can all agree, it’s about damn time. Aside from anything else, the fact that Rockstar has been apologising for the delays with big piles of in-game cash for the online mode means that we’re only one last minute bug from it becoming Millionaire Simulator 2015. It just wouldn’t be the same, arriving in

Running Man of Tech: The quest for running headphones that don't fall out is over

I’m guessing that you’re here to learn about the latest running technology to help make you that little bit faster – that’s pretty much the reason I’ve been putting together this weekly guide. But the time has come to extend things a little bit – as part of T3’s new ‘Man vs Tech’ feature I’m going to be taking part in a triathlon for the first time in my life.

Half-Life 3 release date, news and rumours

It’s fair to say that the hype around Half-Life 3 has moved past ridiculous, jumped on a longhaul flight to “the great beyond”, looked back over its shoulder to see ridiculous as a tiny speck in the distance – then kept going. It’s one of the biggest running jokes of the internet, and it’s gone on for far too long. Yet here we are, still mulling over the possibility that
