Best Amazon Fire TV deals

This article was originally published on TechRadar - All the latest technology news

July’s Amazon Prime Day is going to be the best day of the year for those looking to pick-up an Amazon Fire TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick. The internet retailer is going to slash the prices of its top streaming players, making it the best time to cut the cord and go all-in on over-the-top video.

To that end and to prevent you from getting burned on a bad deal before that sale starts up, we’ve rounded up the best deals on the planet for the Amazon Fire TV and its pint-sized compatriot. 

But why choose an Amazon Fire TV over something like a Roku? While Roku has the better operating system behind it, Amazon’s latest player has made it a close competition. Both the Amazon Fire TV and Roku’s top-tier player offer full 4K resolution, but only the Amazon Fire TV ties into other services like Prime Music. (That said, if you want a player that can handle high dynamic range, you’ll need to spend more time looking at the Roku Premiere+ and Roku Ultra…) 

For anyone tied into the Amazon ecosphere of products, the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick are the perfect center for your smart homes: both streamers come with Alexa, Amazon’s artificial intelligence, built-in. That means they can talk to devices like the Samsung SmartThings Hub and Nest Thermostats, allowing you to command your smart home using your Fire TV remote. 

But you knew all of that already. That’s why you’re here looking for the best deal on an Amazon Fire TV device. Well, you’ve come to the right place. 

Here are the best Amazon Fire TV deals we’ve found today: 

The new Amazon Fire TV is a pretty impressive little device. For your money you get an Ultra HD media player which also makes a decent fist of some light gaming. 4K playback is generally smooth, and the Amazon connection gives you access to the motherlode of paid-for UHD movie content. If you’ve picked up a cheap, dumb 4K TV (although one that has the necessary HDCP 2.2 compatibility for DRM’d content) then the new Fire TV is a fantastic choice for getting some UHD Netflix or Amazon Prime viewing on your screen.

Read the full review: Amazon Fire TV

Looking for the Amazon Fire TV experience without another black box on your shelf? Check out the Amazon Fire TV Stick. It offers all of the same content that you’d find on the full-size box, but in a mini, USB stick-esque form factor. You’ll love how quick and snappy the Fire TV Stick’s interface is, and that it’s intuitively laid out, making most content quick and easy to find. Once you get to your content it streams without any complaints or buffering while playback is smooth and good-looking. The voice search functionality is quick and accurate when searching for Amazon or Netflix content, and it’s also a speedy way of hopping between apps. Most major streaming services are also supported.

The 10 best gaming keyboards of 2017

This article was originally published on TechRadar - All the latest technology news.

With AMD’s Vega graphics cards finally starting to spill out of the factories and into your computer’s chassis, you may be thinking about what other PC components you should upgrade. With that in mind, may we suggest one of the best gaming keyboards to go along with your shiny new GPU? Surely, it would come in handy for the now-allowed OpenIV GTA V modding.

The top gaming keyboards are not only more reliable than your run-of-the-mill office keyboard, but the real draw is that they’re more satisfying to the touch. For that reason, we’ve now found ourselves in a sort of renaissance of the analog – a revival of the mechanical keyboard. Their clicky keyswitches and boisterous designs may be gaudy, but they’re essential all the same.

Many of the top gaming keyboards go so far as to incorporate additional trappings, such as zoned lighting and physical volume wheels into their designs. With so many features to choose between, we’ve scouted out the best gaming keyboards across all walks of life. 

In recent years, Logitech has been seemingly going out of its way to make only the most high-end, cutting-edge peripherals without taking value into consideration. That’s all changed with the G413 Carbon, a mechanical keyboard that sacrifices RGB backlighting and customizable macro keys in favor of an affordable price tag. Its low-profile appearances might make it look barebones in comparison to competing keyboards in its range, but the Logitech G413 Carbon is all the better for its magnesium-alloy skeleton exposure. Though the Romer-G switches might be a turnoff for Cherry MX enthusiasts, they’re virtually silent, fairly responsive and rated for 70 million actuations.

Read the full review: Logitech G413 Carbon 

Best gaming keyboards

Because it ships with a detachable wrist rest, snugness is by no means optional in the case of the Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2. That’s not where the amenities end, however, as Razer has tacked on five macro keys that can be assigned to virtually any in-game action. Also unlike the BlackWidow X Chroma before it, the BlackWidow Chroma V2 gives you the option between Razer Green, Razer Orange and Razer Yellow key switches, which Razer claims to range from “tactile and clicky” to “linear and silent.” This is all made better by a catalog of 16.8 million colors to choose from for the backlighting, which can be assigned per-key or in an animated pattern of your choosing.

Read the full review: Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2

Corsair K70

The Realforce RGB from Japanese company Topre brings so many innovations that it’s difficult to know where to start. This is a multi-talented keyboard that feels incredible to type on thanks to its capacitive Topre keyswitches, which offer superior tactile feedback compared to Cherry MX variants (they’re closest to MX Whites in feeling.) You can type for an entire day and experience minimal finger fatigure on the Realforce RGB, though you should pick up a decent wrist rest to go with it.

The Realforce RGB, which comes with high-quality (and thick) PBT keycaps, is equally primed for gaming thanks to Topre’s clever software which allows you to change the actuation (or distance you have to press keys before they register) depth from 1.5mm (for gamers with fast reflexes) to 2.2mm and 3mm (for improved typing accuracy). The result is a hugely versatile keyboard that suits whatever task you’re doing at the time. And, like Cooler Master’s Novatouch, the Realforce RGB has keyswitch stems that are compatible with both Topre and Cherry MX keycaps, allowing you to chop and change your keycaps at will.

Like the Corsair K70 Rapidfire before it, the K95 RGB Platinum is a gaming-first mechanical keyboard with plenty of versatility to get the job done, whatever that job may be. The simple arrangement of a single row of six macro keys keeps this QWERTY neat and organized without a whole lot of unnecessary reaching involved. The software may be sloppy, but if all you’re doing is assigning macros, you may not even need it. Because the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum packs in 8MB of memory dedicated to storing profiles, you don’t have to worry about using the same computer through to the end of its career. This keyboard is not only backlit by up to 16.8 million colors, but it’s the perfect travel buddy too, made better by its military-grade aluminum finish, including the wrist rest.

Razer Ornata

For too long there’s been a divide between mechanical and membrane keys but now Razer has finally brought the two together with its ‘Mecha-Membrane’ Ornata keyboard. These new switches pull from everything Razer has learned over the years. The result is a grand typing experience with shorter keys, the tactile feel of the green switches from the Blackwidow X Chroma and a loud audible click. Just like its other products, the Ornata features a fully customizable, per-key backlight and it comes with a plush pleather wrist rest too.

Cherry MX 6.0

Cherry’s flagship MX Board 6.0 features a lower profile than other gaming keyboards like the Razer BlackWidow X Chroma, making it perfect if you prefer to type and game using a wrist rest. Cherry’s MX Red switches under the keys lend the MX Board 6.0 fast response times, but because the keys are positioned fairly close together they’re excellent for typing too. Housed in an eye-catching aluminum chassis, the MX Board 6.0 certainly doesn’t feel cheap and its blood-red key lighting is deliciously ominous. It’s a mechanical keyboard that’s also suited for the office.

Logitech G810

Logitech has followed up its Orion Spark G910 mechanical keyboard with the G810, which arrives with a refreshingly grown-up feel. Sporting Logitech’s own Romer G switches, which aren’t quite as squishy as Cherry’s various switches, the G810 possesses a snappier feel than other gaming keyboards whether typing or gaming. Featuring smart media keys that work equally well on both Windows and OS X, Logitech’s latest keyboard is a solid all-round offering. If you’re fed up of the weird markings, LCD screens and strange parts that come with competing “gamer-focused” keyboards, the G810 might be for you.

M500

Many mechanical keyboards are gaudy and unwieldy, aimed at gamers on the, err, ostentatious side. That’s not the case with the SteelSeries Apex M500. Like the Logitech G810, the Apex M500 eschews unnecessary bells and whistles in favor of clean design and bare essentials. While it’s lacking media keys, macros and other such extras, it benefits from a compact design that wastes no space. Tailored towards e-Sports, its minimal leanings are refreshing and it looks great sat on a desk, accompanied by the right monitor and mouse of course.

Ultor

Cougar’s Attack X3 was one of the better affordable mechanical gaming keyboards of recent times thanks to its rugged aluminum body. Its successor, which is also forged from a block of aluminum, is every bit as robust and is once again available with Cherry MX Black, Brown, Red or Blue keyswitches depending on your typing preference. Its durability is aided by a braided cable, which sports two USB connections which are used for input and lighting. Features include N-Key rollover, a 1,000Hz polling rate and rubber feet on the bottom that prevents slipping. Corsair’s software is a little rough around the edges and the Attack X3 RGB only comes in a US keyboard layout, but if you’re seeking an affordable alternative to flagship keyboards like the Corsair K70 RGBs of this world then it’s a tempting option. 

Although not quite as compact as the HyperX Alloy FPS, the latest mechanical keyboard to come from relative gaming peripherals newcomer G.Skill won’t hog all of your desk. Delightfully minimalist, the RipJaws KM570 brings a solid basic feature set, one that includes N-key rollover (allowing multiple keys to be pressed simultaneously, only-the-fly macro recording to any key), and Cherry MX Red keyswitches with a 45-gram actuation force and 2mm actuation point, all at a reasonable price. Its affordable nature means you’ll only get red backlighting, rather than full-RGB, and you won’t find any programmable macro keys here either. Still, for the full Cherry MX experience at this cost, we’re prepared to let that slide.

Intel’s solid-state drives have been the cream-of-the-crop for a long time, but they haven’t always been affordable and so now the chip maker has announced a new budget line that should be more approachable.

Intel’s newest 545 SSDs start at $179 (about £140, AU$230) for a 2.5-inch drive with 512GB of capacity, which puts it more in line with affordable options like the Samsung 850 EVO and Crucial MX300. The chip maker claims it was able to lower prices by implementing a new 64-layer TLC 3D NAND technology, which packs more digital space into fewer chips.

In terms of transfer rates, Intel promises 550MB/s sequential reads and 500MB/s sequential writes. These are only a slight improvement from the last generation, but AnandTech points out that Intel’s new drives are much better at maintaining their top transfer speeds while being pushed to the limit.

Intel also promises we’ll see more capacities, ranging from 128GB to 2TB, come out in the next few weeks. By the end of the year, there will also be an M.2 NVMe version you can plug directly into a motherboard for even greater speeds that SATA 3 can’t provide.

Flyers may soon have their books and magazines screened

This article was originally published on Business and finance.

TO THE many invasions of privacy that have become commonplace in air travel—the pat-downs, the hand swabs, the shoe removal, the endless rummaging through luggage by security agents—one more may soon need to be added: the examination of reading material.

Last month, America’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) ran tests at airports in California and Missouri that required passengers to remove all books and magazines from their carry-on bags and put them in plastic bins to be x-rayed. John Kelly, the homeland security secretary, said that the agency “might and likely will” impose that requirement at all airports. “What we’re doing now is working out the tactics, techniques, and procedures, if you will, in a few airports, to find out exactly how to do that with the least amount of inconvenience to the traveller,” he said.

The agency’s concern is that dense papers can block x-ray scanners, or could potentially be used to conceal weapons. A TSA spokeswoman Continue reading

The best cheap Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge deals in the US for June 2017

This article was originally published on TechRadar - All the latest technology news.

Update: Cheap Samsung Galaxy S7 deals in the US are a difficult find, as the phone as been replaced by a newer version. But we’ve added a few discounts, mainly from the official Samsung store.

You can get the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on sale, even if this trend-setting curved smartphone remains a top choice for many Android users. It’s popularity is just starting to wane, as it’s been overtaken by the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. This means American carriers and even Samsung has started to roll out discounts.

You can find several S7 Edge deals that bring the price down to $23 a month, when it had launched at $32 a month not too long ago. There’s also an unlocked SIM-free version of the phone on sale right now.

Warning: you won’t find cheap Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on sale at all carriers anymore (they’re trying to push the newer S8, of course), but get the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and it’ll work flawlessly with your network.

Best Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge deal (recommended)

Samsung Galaxy S7 is discontinued from sale through most carrier stores, like T-Mobile and Verizon, and it’s price is unsavory through AT&T and Sprint. But you can still buy an unlocked Galaxy S7 through Samsung’s official site and it comes with an instant rebate.

It’s $100 off now through the beginning of July for the all-carriers-compatible S7 Edge, letting you have the phone for $23.75 a month for 24 months, or $569.99 if bought outright. That’s a great deal.

This is the version of the phone we recommend because it doesn’t come with a bunch of carrier-imposed software (aka bloatware) that nobody wants and you’re free to switch from network to network. You’re never locked down to just one US carrier.

The offer expires on July 1, according to Samsung.

Best Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge deals on AT&T

You can still find a cheap Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge deal from AT&T, one of the few US networks to still offer the year-old Android on its site.

It costs $23.17 a month for this phone with the AT&T Next plan, and once pay off 80% of the device (or $555.99 total), you can trade it in the upgrade to another phone. 

That’s a little cheaper than the unlocked S7 Edge offered by Samsung, but in the AT&T case, you don’t get to keep the phone, which is a hugely missed value.

Best Samsung Galaxy S7 deals on Sprint

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on Sprint costs the same as the AT&T version for the same 24 months (as opposed to 30 months) – it’s $28.96 a month. Again, you’re better off going with the unlocked version from Samsung itself if you want last year’s phone. It works just fine on all carriers.

While Sprint has the best Samsung Galaxy S7 deal, it appears to be phasing out the S7 Edge without major incentives.

More Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge deals for June 2017

Amazon and NewEgg are offering the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge for $499 if you’re willing to pay for the phone upfront. Those are great offers.

Likewise, discount carriers like Cricket Wireless and Credo offer cheaper contracts, especially compared to than AT&T and Verizon.
