It comes with four LED lights at the back but they have been placed elegantly and look good. This makes it possible to use it professionally as well as for gaming. <div type="image" title="photo_2024-01-11_15-48-31" msid="106729988" hostid="261" sizebytes="37608" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;ViewSonic VX3219 2K PRO gaming monitor&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It features a lightweight design, weighing 7.9 kg with the stand, which is decent when you consider that it comes with a large 32-inch display. It can be easily moved and carried around when needed. <div type="image" title="LED" msid="106730003" hostid="261" sizebytes="14042" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The LEd strips on the ViewSonic VX3219 2K PRO gaming monitor&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor features an all-plastic back in black colour. It comes with thin bezels on the three sides with a large chin at the bottom that features ViewSonic branding. As mentioned earlier, the back comes with four LED strips. You also get the ViewSonic branding at the back, which is larger than the front. The monitor’s stand is not height adjustable, meaning you cannot adjust the height according to your needs. It does come with tilt support, which allows you to make slight changes. While it would have been good to get a height adjustable stand, the large display meant that I did not need to change the height. It comes with physical control buttons on the bottom right corner, which allow you to control the monitor’s settings. <div type="image" title="Headphone stand" msid="106730029" hostid="261" sizebytes="50118" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ViewSonic VX3219 2K PRO features a headphone holder&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It also comes with a headphone holder on the left side, which is great as most gamers use a big headphone and sometimes it is a hassle to store them. Display and performance Coming to the display, the ViewSonic VX3219 2K PRO monitor features a large 32-inch IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. It offers a refresh rate of 165 Hz, 250 nits of brightness and a response time of 0.43ms. The monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium technology that ensure that you can have a blur-free gaming experience with minimal stuttering and no tearing. <div type="image" title="IMG20240111150139" msid="106730054" hostid="261" sizebytes="78312" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Playing The Finals on the ViewSonic VX3219 2K PRO gaming monitor&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I played fast-paced games like The Finals and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the monitor. It is a treat to play games, especially fast-paced first person shooters on the monitor. The gameplay was smooth and there was no motion blur or tearing. The high refresh rate and adaptive sync ensure that you have an excellent gaming experience. The monitor comes with several pre-sets, including FPS Game, RTS Game, Movie and more, allowing you to easily set the settings for your favourite game. Verdict If you are a gamer in the market for a monitor with a large display and a high refresh rate around ₹25,000, the ViewSonic VX319 2K PRO is a good option. The monitor ticks a lot of the right boxes, including a large display, high resolution, high refresh rate and more, but misses out on things like a speaker and height adjustable stand. If you are okay with these omissions, the ViewSonic VX3219 2K PRO is a great option.

<ul><li>Price</li></ul> <h2>Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro design</h2>The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is available in a single colour option and features a minimalistic design. It is identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy Book3 Pro and offers an all-aluminium chassis. <div type="image" title="Lid" msid="112267569" hostid="261" sizebytes="28420" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro back design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop features a clean back with just the Samsung logo on the side. It offers a thickness under 12mm and weighs just 1.24 kg, allowing you to easily carry it around with you. Additionally, the laptop’s 65W charger is similar to a smartphone charger and can be easily carried in a backpack. <div type="image" title="Left" msid="112267581" hostid="261" sizebytes="11938" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the left&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a HDMI 2.1 port on the left side. <div type="image" title="Right" msid="112267594" hostid="261" sizebytes="8206" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the right side&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the right side, the laptop features a USB Type-A port, a headphone jack and a microSD card slot. <div type="image" title="Back" msid="112267611" hostid="261" sizebytes="54394" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vent at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device comes with ample vents at the bottom to dissipate the heat. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="112267617" hostid="261" sizebytes="60574" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Coming to the keyboard, the laptop comes with a chiclet keyboard that offers decent travel time and is good for typing. It comes with a backlit keyboard that allows you to easily use the device even when it is dark. <div type="image" title="Trackpad" msid="112267624" hostid="261" sizebytes="45568" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro trackpad&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop is equipped with a large touchpad, that is responsive and works well. <h2>Display</h2>Coming to the display, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro features a 14-inch 3K Dynamic AMOLED display with a 2,880 x 1,800 pixels resolution. It is a touchscreen display that offers a dynamic refresh rate of 60Hz and 120Hz. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="112267629" hostid="261" sizebytes="36348" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Galaxy Book4 Pro comes with an anti-reflective coating on the panel. The laptop offers thin bezels with rounded corners. Samsung has always used excellent displays with its devices and this laptop is no different. The display offers a peak brightness of 500 nits, allowing you to easily use it outdoors without worrying about visibility. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass DX, offering you a good amount of protection. Like other panels from the company, the Galaxy Book4 Pro’s display offers excellent colour reproduction, good contrast and good visibility. Overall, the display is good for all users, from those enjoying content on the device to those creating content. <h2>Performance</h2>The laptop from Samsung is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, which offers six performance cores, eight efficiency cores, and two low-power efficiency cores. The Intel Core Ultra is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company and comes with Intel Arc graphics. The laptop is equipped with up to 32GB LPPDR5X RAM and 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD. The new chipset from Intel is equipped with a dedicated neural processor unit that is aimed at easily performing AI tasks, which have become quite important these days. The low-power performance cores are aimed at improving the battery life. Samsung has added a lot of features that allow you to link it with your smartphone. You get features such as the ability to use it as a second display with the screen mirroring feature or the drag-and-drop feature. While this is good to have, do note that it only works if you have a Samsung smartphone or a Samsung tablet. As the device is packed with powerful hardware, I had no issues with performance. The laptop easily handles everything that you throw at it without any issues and multi-tasking is a breeze. As the laptop is not equipped with a dedicated graphics card, gaming is not one of its strengths. However, the Intel Arc graphics were able to handle a lot of games that are less graphic intensive with ease, allowing you to play games on the device. Coming to battery life, the Galaxy Book4 Pro is equipped with a 63Wh battery and supports 65W charging. As it is a lightweight laptop, the company has kept the battery size on the lower side. The power-efficient chipset ensures that you can get around 8 hours of battery life in regular usage, which should be enough for most users. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro ticks a lot of the boxes, including a sleek and lightweight design, powerful hardware, excellent display and good battery life. It is a good option for those looking for a powerful laptop that is easy to carry around and are willing to pay a premium to get this combination.

type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> Starting with the design, the ViewSonic VX2728J comes with a minimalistic design, looking like a regular monitor. This allows you to use it while working without having to worry about a flash design or RGB lights. It features a lightweight design, weighing just 4.7 kg with the stand, allowing you to easily move and carry it around with you if needed. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="102645392" hostid="261" sizebytes="97394" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;ViewSonic VX2728J &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor features an all-plastic back in black colour. It comes with thin bezels on the three sides with a large chin at the bottom. The chin features ViewSonic branding. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="102645443" hostid="261" sizebytes="19488" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ViewSonic VX2728J stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> You also get the ViewSonic branding at the back, which is much larger than the front. The stand allows you to adjust the monitor’s height and angle. It allows you to swivel, tilt and even pivot the monitor based on your preference. I tried to adjust the monitor to different heights and angles while using it and found that it is quite easy to do so. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> Coming to the display, the ViewSonic VX2728J monitor features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. It offers a refresh rate of 180 Hz, 250 nits of brightness and a response time of 0.5ms. The monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA Adaptive Sync. These technologies ensure that you can have a blur-free gaming experience with minimal stuttering and no tearing. While the 180Hz refresh rate makes it a treat to play fast-paced FPS games. <div type="image" title="Performance" msid="102645535" hostid="261" sizebytes="136064" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The monitor performs well while gaming&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I played fast-paced games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the monitor. I enjoyed playing both the games and while there were no stutters or tearing, the low-pixel density is sometimes visible in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It would have been great to have a higher resolution panel but the VX2728J manages to offer a good gaming experience. The monitor comes with several pre-sets, including FPS Game, RTS Game, Movie and more, allowing you to easily set the settings for your favourite game. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> If you are a casual gamer in the market for a monitor with a large display and a high refresh rate under ₹20,000, the ViewSonic VX2728J is a good option. Do note that you will have to make-do with a Full HD display. If this is not a deal breaker, you can go ahead with the purchase.

<ul><li>Premium design</li><li>Privacy features</li></ul>Cons <ul><li>Price </li></ul><h2>Dell Latitude 9450 design</h2>Starting with the design, the Dell Latitude 9450 2-in-1 laptop features a minimalistic design, featuring a metal clam-shell design. It is made using CNC-milled aluminium and diamond-cut edges, giving it a solid build. If you have seen the Latitude 9440 2-in-1, you will realise that the Latitude 9450 2-in-1 comes with minimal changes over its predecessor. <div type="image" title="Rear design" msid="112447877" hostid="261" sizebytes="24714" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell Latitude 9450&amp;#39;s rear design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop features a minimalistic Graphite coloured aluminium lid with a matte finish that prevents fingerprint smudges. It comes with the Dell logo at the back, with the rest of the back being empty. It offers an elegant yet utilitarian look, which is probably what the laptop’s target audience is looking for. <div type="image" title="Hinge" msid="112447884" hostid="261" sizebytes="40532" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dell Latitude 9450 hinge&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Latitude 9450 2-in-1 features a compact design but weighs 1.5 kg. The laptop comes with a 2-in-1 form factor, meaning it can also be used as a tablet. It features a sturdy hinge that allows you to comfortably convert it from a laptop to a tablet and vice versa, without worrying too much. The company says that this is the most compact business laptop in the market and it’s true. The weight is slightly on the higher side but that has been done to make it durable and sturdy. The metal edges and soft-touch matte finish give it a premium look and it feels good when you hold it. One of my gripes about a lot of laptops is that they are difficult to open with on hand. Opening the Dell Latitude 9450 may be an issue sometimes as you may not find anything on the lid to hold onto. Unlike Apple’s MacBook which can be opened easily with a single hand, I often had to use both hands to open the laptop. Once you open the laptop, you appreciate the design even more. The keyboard offers a smooth and velvety feel. The palm rest is also very soft and feels very comfortable to use. The edges however are a little sharp and you might feel it if you rest your hand on it for too long. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="112447921" hostid="261" sizebytes="80342" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dell Latitude 9450 keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The keyboard is backlit and feels good to type on. As someone who has to type a lot, I had no issues while typing on the laptop. The laptop’s keyboard now features a key for Microsoft Co-Pilot, which replaces the Ctrl key. <div type="image" title="Trackpad" msid="112447928" hostid="261" sizebytes="28724" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dell Latitude 9450 trackpad&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop comes with a large trackpad, which the company has dubbed Haptic Collaboration Touchpad. It is smooth and feels good to use. While using work-related apps like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, the trackpad lights up with shortcuts for functions that you may need regularly. <div type="image" title="Mouse" msid="112447932" hostid="261" sizebytes="23184" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Premier Rechargeable MS7421W Wireless Mouse&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> One of the accessories that the company offers for the laptop is the Premier Rechargeable MS7421W Wireless Mouse, which comes with three connectivity options. The mouse is compact in size but due to its high arch, I found it to be uncomfortable while using it for extended durations. <div type="image" title="Right ports" msid="112448035" hostid="261" sizebytes="9844" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the right side&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> In terms of ports, Dell has kept the ports to a minimum. It offers three Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports with PowerDelivery and DisplayPort compatability. Apart from this, all you get is a headphone jack. <div type="image" title="Ports" msid="112447939" hostid="261" sizebytes="36382" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dell Multiport adapter&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Here’s where the Dell Multiport adapter comes in. It features a built-in retractable USB Type-C cable. It comes with a total of seven connectivity options – <ul><li>DisplayPort</li><li>2 x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 USB Type A</li><li>USB-C 3.2 Gen 2</li><li>HDMI</li><li>VGA</li><li>DisplayPort</li><li>RJ-45</li></ul>It is a handy tool that offers a lot of connectivity options but will set you back by an additional ₹9,999. <div type="image" title="Rear vents" msid="112448049" hostid="261" sizebytes="61440" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vents at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Dell has offered a large vent at the bottom to manage the heat. It also comes with Latitude 9450 branding at the bottom. <h2>Display</h2>Coming to the display, the Dell Latitude 9450 is equipped with a 14-inch Quad HD+ IPS display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. The display comes with a 16:10 aspect ratio and features thin bezels. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="112447954" hostid="261" sizebytes="35562" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dell Latitude 9450 display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The display offers a 500 nits brightness, which is quite good for a laptop and allows you to use it even when under the sun. As it is a 2-in-1 laptop, it comes with a touch screen that is very responsive. It features an anti-smudge coating so you don’t have to worry about fingerprint smudges. While you can easily navigate the touchscreen with your fingers, Dell also offers a stylus to help you make the best out of the touchscreen. While an OLED panel would have offered improved contrast and better blacks, the IPS panel on the Latitude 9450 performs well. The biggest issue with the display is that the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz. <h2>Performance</h2>The Dell Latitude 9450 is available in various configurations. I tested the variant with the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U chipset. The chipset offers which offers two performance cores and eight efficiency cores. The Intel Core Ultra is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company and comes with Intel Arc graphics. The laptop is equipped with up to 16GB LPPDR5X RAM and 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe. The new chipset from Intel is equipped with a dedicated neural processor unit that is aimed at performing AI tasks with ease. The laptop can handle machine learning and AI workloads without breaking a sweat. As the device is packed with powerful hardware, I had no issues with performance. The laptop easily handles everything that you throw at it without any issues and multi-tasking is a breeze. You can easily multitask on the device with several applications running. <div type="image" title="Privacy features" msid="112448008" hostid="261" sizebytes="33844" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Some of the privacy features offered with the Dell Latitude 9450&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device comes with several privacy-oriented features, including a built-in privacy shutter for the camera. Other privacy features offered as part of the Presence Detection feature in the Dell Optimizer include Onlooker Detection, which prevents others from looking at your display, which is extremely useful for those who might have to access confidential information while on the go. In addition to this, it also comes with a feature that automatically locks and unlocks your device when you come near it or step away. For calls, the laptop comes with stereo speakers and sports dual-array microphones. Keeping privacy and proper audio quality in mind, the company has also offered the Dell Pro Wireless WL5024 ANC Headset with the laptop. <div type="image" title="Headphones" msid="112448018" hostid="261" sizebytes="96564" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dell Pro Wireless WL5024 headphones&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The WL5024 is a lightweight Bluetooth headphone that comes with a retractable microphone. It offers noise cancellation support and is comfortable to use even for extended periods. The laptop is equipped with a 3-cell 60 Wh battery which offers around seven hours of usage on a single charge, which is good for a compact device like the Latitude 9450. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Dell Latitude 9450 2-in-1 is a feature-packed laptop that is aimed at executives looking for a powerful laptop with a compact form factor. The laptop offers a premium design, powerful hardware, and a comfortable experience and comes with various accessories aimed at making your life easier. If you are someone who is looking for a premium laptop for multi-tasking and does not mind paying a premium, the Latitude 9450 is an excellent choice for you.

It comes with thin bezels on the three sides with a large chin at the bottom that features the company’s name. <div type="image" title="Back logo" msid="112269834" hostid="261" sizebytes="72880" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gigabyte logo at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor also comes with Gigabyte branding at the back. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="112269841" hostid="261" sizebytes="74196" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gigabyte GS27Q stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor’s stand is not height adjustable, meaning you cannot adjust the height according to your needs. However, it does come with tilt support, which allows you to make slight changes. The stand comes with a small flat base, that keeps it stable. For connectivity, the monitor offers two HDMI 2.0 ports, a Displayport 1.4 and a headphone jack. <h2>Display and performance</h2>Coming to the display, the Gigabyte GS27Q monitor features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. It offers a refresh rate of 165 Hz, 300 nits of brightness, HDR ready and a response time of 1ms (MPRT). The monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium technology that ensures that you can have a blur-free gaming experience with minimal stuttering and no tearing. I played fast-paced games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Forza Horizon 4 while using the monitor. It is a treat to play games, especially fast-paced first person shooters and racing games on the monitor. The gameplay on the Gigabyte GS27Q was smooth and there was no motion blur or tearing. The high refresh rate and adaptive sync ensure that you have an excellent gaming experience. The monitor comes with several pre-sets, allowing you to choose between best modes depending on your use. Additionally, it also offers features such as an on-screen timer, customisable crosshairs and an aim stabiliser to help improve your gaming experience. The monitor comes with black equalizer technology that also came in handy, especially in games that had darker areas where it was easy for enemies to usually hide, giving me an edge. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Gigabyte GS27Q is a feature-packed gaming monitor that ticks off a lot of the right boxes, including a good display, a high refresh rate and a fast response time. It offers good colour accuracy and delivers good brightness. The gaming monitor from Gigabyte misses out on things like a speaker and height adjustable stand. Overall, it is a good option if you are looking for a reliable gaming monitor that offers a high refresh rate and resolution, the Gigabyte GS27Q is a good option.

ROG Strix Scar 16 design" comment="subhead" text="Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 design">Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 design</cmsannotation> One of the most important things about laptops is the portability, which depends on the size and the weight of the device. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a power-packed device and as such is large and bulky, meaning it is not as portable as you would want a laptop to be. The device weighs 2.65 kg and its large charging adapter further increases the weight. <div type="image" title="Design" msid="108514679" hostid="261" sizebytes="57056" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> There is nothing subtle about the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 and this is a device that will stand out from the regular laptops. It comes with a plastic back with a matte black finish. <div type="image" title="LEd" msid="108514732" hostid="261" sizebytes="41624" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The LED strip at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop comes with a large Asus ROG logo at the back that comes with RGB lighting. The lid also comes with a strip that reads Republic of Gamers. It comes with two large RGB light strips – one at the front and one at the back. The RGB lighting comes with Aura Sync support and can be completely customised as per your preference. <div type="image" title="T" msid="108514775" hostid="261" sizebytes="76896" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The laptop comes with a translucent design at several places&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop comes with translucent plastic at the top of the keyboard and on the sides, which give it a distinct look. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="108514821" hostid="261" sizebytes="71242" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ROG Strix Scar 16 keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 comes with an RGB-backlit keyboard and the keys are very responsive, with 2.0mm travel distance. The trackpad is decent as well. It comes with number keys integrated, which can be activated by pressing the “NUMLK” key. During my usage, I found the keyboard to be slightly cluttered and it will take some time to get used to the layout. The keyboard also comes with five programmable hot keys, which can be set to your preferred actions. <div type="image" title="Por" msid="108514927" hostid="261" sizebytes="388624" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the left side&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> In terms of ports, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 comes with a Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB Type-C port, two USB Type-A ports, an ethernet port and a 3.5mm audio port. You also get a 720p webcam on the top, but there is no privacy cover on it. <div type="image" title="B" msid="108514952" hostid="261" sizebytes="105290" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Bottom&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Being a gaming laptop, the company has employed several measures to keep the temperature down. It comes with a full width heatsink at the bottom, which cools the GPU. It also comes with a tri-fan technology and full-surround vents to ensure proper air circulation. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> Coming to the display, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 features a ROG Nebula HDR Display. It is equipped with a 16-inch Quad HD+ Mini LED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a 240Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time with Dolby Vision HDR support. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="108514962" hostid="261" sizebytes="54506" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It comes with a vibrant display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The resolution and the high refresh rate make it a treat to play on the laptop. The colours look great as it comes with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. The Mini LED panel ensures excellent visuals with amazing contrast with 2,304 dimming zones. The 1,100 nits brightness delivers good visibility, even under direct sunlight. I played games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Starfield and Forza Horizon 5 on the laptop, with the device offering amazing visuals in each game. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> If you are looking for a powerful gaming laptop, the ROG Strix Scar 16 will not disappoint. It is equipped with the Intel Core i9 14900HX high-performance processor with 24 cores and 32 threads. This is coupled with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 16GB GDDR6 graphics. The laptop comes with 32GB DDR5 5600MHz RAM, which can be extended up to 64GB. For storage, it offers a 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD, which can be upgraded to 4TB. I tested the laptop with several games, including Red Dead Redemption 2 and Forza Horizon 5. Both the games performed well and the laptops were able to handle them without any issues. The powerful hardware means that you will be able to run any game at the best graphics without even having to look at the system requirements. I played Starfield and Forza Horizon 5 at maximum graphics and the laptop was able to handle them with ease. Even during extended gaming sessions, the laptop’s cooling apparatus kicked in, keeping the temperatures down. The laptop is equipped with a 90Whr battery, the battery life is not one of the strongest points of the ROG Strix Scar 16. While gaming, I was able to get around 2 and a half hours of battery life out of the device. Then again, you will mostly be gaming while you are connected, so battery life is not a very big issue. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a feature-packed laptop that ticks all the right boxes, including a vibrant display, powerful performance and decent battery life. If you don’t have a problem with the weight and are looking for a premium gaming laptop, the ROG Strix Scar 16 is a great option. An added benefit with the ROG Strix Scar 16 is its translucent plastic body and the RGB lighting offered, which will please a lot of gamers.

Display with touch support</li></ul> Cons <ul><li>Expensive</li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Dell XPS 17 9730 design" comment="subhead" text="Dell XPS 17 9730 design">Dell XPS 17 9730 design</cmsannotation> Dell has not made any significant change in terms of design when compared to last year’s XPS 17 9730. The laptop continues to offer an aluminium and carbon fibre combination. The laptop features a minimalistic silver aluminium lid with a matte finish that prevents fingerprint smudges. It comes with the Dell logo at the back, with the rest of the back being empty. <div type="image" title="Back" msid="107330438" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell XPS 17 9730 comes with a matte finish aluminium lid&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Due to the touch screen and the large battery, the laptop is on the bulkier side at 2.44 kg. So, if you are someone who often needs to use their laptop on the go, you need to consider the weight. As someone who already uses a heavy laptop, I did not find any issues with the weight. Opening the Dell XPS 17 9730 may be an issue sometimes as you may not find anything on the lid to hold on to. Unlike Apple’s MacBook which can be opened easily with a single hand, I often had to use both hands to open the laptop. On the other hand, the keyboard area is black and comes with a carbon fibre texture. It comes with a large trackpad and is equipped with two speakers on either side of the keyboard. <div type="image" title="Key" msid="107330505" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell XPS 17 9730 keyboard and touchpad&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The keyboard is backlit and feels good to type on. As someone who has to type a lot, I had no issues while typing on the XPS 17 9730. The keys offer a 1.3mm travel and do not make a lot of noise. The touchpad is large, which makes it easier to use and is very responsive. The keyboard comes with a 60% layout and does not feature number buttons on the right. If you are someone who uses numbers a lot, this may not be the ideal option for you. Then again, this is aimed at creators, who don’t use numbers very often. In terms of ports, the Dell XPS 17 9730 is equipped with ample ports. It offers four Thunderbolt 4 USB Type C Ports, a full-size SD card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack As it is equipped with a powerful processor and graphics card, Dell has offered a large vent at the bottom to manage the heat. It also comes with XPS branding at the bottom. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> Coming to the display, the Dell XPS 17 9730 is equipped with a 17-inch 4K UHD+ IPS LCD display with a resolution of 3840 x 2400 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="107330520" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell XPS 17 9730 comes with a 17-inch display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The display offers a 500 nits brightness, which is quite good for a laptop and allows you to use it even when under the sun. It offers 100% Adobe RGB minimum and 94% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage. While an OLED panel would have offered higher brightness and superior colours, the IPS panel on the XPS 17 9730 performs well. The high resolution and colour accuracy make it a great option for content creators who need to be very careful with colours. The low refresh rate may disappoint users who may have wanted to play fast-paced action games as you will be limited to 60Hz. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> In addition to a large display, the Dell XPS 17 9730 is also packed with the 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900H processor coupled with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics. The laptop is available in two variants, offering up to 32GB DDR5 4800 MHz RAM and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD. You can further upgrade the storage to up to 8TB. The powerful combination means the laptop is able to carry everything that you throw at it with ease. You can easily multitask on the device with several applications running. Considering the processor and graphics card combination, I also tried a few games on the laptop, including Red Dead Redemption 2. The laptop was able to handle these heavy games without any issues at the highest graphics. <div type="image" title="Bottom" msid="107330533" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The vent at the bottom&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> To keep the laptop cool, it comes with dual fans and a large vapour chamber at the bottom. While the vapour chamber and the fans work well, it is only a laptop at the end of the day and it starts heating up during extended gaming sessions. The Dell XPS 17 9730 is equipped with a large 97Whr battery that easily lasts for a day with normal usage. If we add in some light gaming and video streaming, the laptop still offers over 8 hours of usage, which is great. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Dell XPS 17 9730 is a good laptop that ticks a lot of boxes, including powerful hardware, large display and an excellent battery. At the same time, it is on the heavier side and the price is on the higher side. If you are looking for a powerful laptop and do not mind the price tag, the Dell XPS 17 9730 is an excellent option.

The company recently launched the INZONE Buds, the company’s gaming-focused wireless earbuds in India. Sony’s gaming accessories have mostly been focused on its PlayStation but that has been changing with the company’s INZONE lineup, which is compatible with other devices as well. As such, the INZONE Buds are compatible with the PS5, Mobile and PC. I’ve been testing the INZONE Buds with my PC for a few weeks now and here is my detailed review of the latest gaming earbuds from the company. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Sony INZONE Buds price and availability" comment="subhead" text="Sony INZONE Buds price and availability"><keyword id="19102797" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sony-INZONE-Buds-price" source="Orion">Sony INZONE Buds price</keyword> and availability</cmsannotation> The Sony INZONE Buds has been priced at ₹17,990 and is available in Black and White colour options. It is available from Sony retail stores, e-commerce portals and authorised retailers across the country. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="In the box" comment="subhead" text="In the box">In the box</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Box" msid="107492426" hostid="261" sizebytes="30562" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sony INZONE Buds&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <ul><li>Sony INZONE Buds </li><li>USB-C wireless dongle </li><li>USB Cable </li><li>Four sets of ear tips </li><li>Documentation </li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Pros and cons" comment="subhead" text="Pros and cons">Pros and cons</cmsannotation> Pros <ul><li>Battery life and charging </li><li>Lightweight and comfortable design </li></ul>Cons <ul><li>Price </li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design and comfort" comment="subhead" text="Design and comfort">Design and comfort</cmsannotation> The Sony INZONE Buds come with a minimalistic design, something that may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when we say gaming earbuds. <div type="image" title="c" msid="107492470" hostid="261" sizebytes="21082" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sony INZONE Buds charging case&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Starting with the charging case, the Sony INZONE Buds comes with a white colour case, with the Sony branding on the top. It features an LED indicator on the front that lights up when it is being charged. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="107492491" hostid="261" sizebytes="25938" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sony INZONE Buds charging port and pairing button&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the back, you have the USB Type-C port and the pairing button. <div type="image" title="Design" msid="107492508" hostid="261" sizebytes="35902" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sony INZONE Buds&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> When you open the charging case, you can see the two earbuds resting and the USB-C wireless dongle that is needed to connect with your device. The charging case is bigger than what most truly wireless earbuds offer but then again this isn’t something that you will carry in your pocket. <div type="image" title="Earbuds" msid="107492527" hostid="261" sizebytes="23998" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The earbuds&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Coming to the earbuds, the earbuds I tested feature a dual-tone white and black colour combination. The earbuds come with a short stem and look good. The earbuds come with a touch-sensitive surface that allow you to control them. One of the things that you need to think about before buying a TWS is the comfort that they offer. The INZONE Buds are comfortable to use, even for extended durations. I used the device for hours on the go, without any issues, be it sweat or pain in the ear. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Features and performance" comment="subhead" text="Features and performance">Features and performance</cmsannotation> The Sony INZONE Buds come with a USB Type-C dongle to connect with your device. If you do not wish to connect with a dongle, you can also use the USB Type-C cable provided with the earbuds to connect to your computer. <div type="image" title="Dongle" msid="107492544" hostid="261" sizebytes="32944" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The dongle&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The INZONE Buds also offer Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to easily connect it with smartphones or Bluetooth-enabled devices without the need of a dongle or a cable. If you are using the INZONE Buds on your computer, you can download the <keyword id="20492931" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="inzone-hub" source="keywords">INZONE Hub</keyword> application to manage spatial audio, presets, EQ settings, make dynamic range adjustments and more. One of the biggest issues with TWS is latency, as delayed audio could be the difference between a win and a loss. The INZONE Buds offer low-latency, making them an excellent option for gaming. The INZONE Buds offer excellent sound quality, be it for gaming or watching movies and shows. The earbuds offer loud and crisp sounds, while not interfering too much with the original sound quality. The INZONE Buds offer spatial audio and also allow you to download an app to scan your ear and personalise the spatial audio to your ear. While I found the spatial audio to be good, the personalisation did not have any significant impact. If you are someone who plays multiplayer games a lot and likes staying connected with friends while gaming, the earbuds offer good noise cancellation. The microphone is decent but nothing too spectacular. As per friends I spoke with while using the earbuds, my sound was slightly different. The Sony INZONE Buds are claimed to offer a 12 hours of battery life with a single charge and 24 hours with the case. I found the battery life to be excellent, going over 10 hours. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Sony INZONE Buds is a good option if you are looking for a pair of good gaming earbuds. If you are someone who does not want a large headphone and would prefer a TWS for gaming, the INZONE Buds are worth considering, thanks to its excellent audio quality, long battery life and Sony’s reliability. Do note that the price of the INZONE Buds is slightly on the higher side.
