Razer DeathAdder Essential - our feedback

  • Form factor and comfort - in regards to comfort this mouse gets a very high score. The DeathAdder Essential fits nicely in the hand and has very good ergonomics. I even like it just a bit better over the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed which is also a very comfortable mouse.  One thing I wish is that it had a bit softer padding on the sides or at least where the thumb grips the mouse, that would have raised the bar very high in regards to comfort and ergonomics.

  • Build quality - since this is our initial review of the mouse we still can't comment on durability and such. The DeathAdder Essential looks quality made, like a product that is at least going to last over its guarantee period. 
  • Price - with a price of just under $30 the DeathAdder Essential is currently one of the best options in this price segment.
Thank you for checking our Razer DeathAdder Essential mouse product review!

By
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

By
Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.
