Six hardware reviews landed today, spanning Apple's M5 Ultra Mac Studio and M6 Mac mini, ROG audio and motherboards, a Lian Li power supply, and a Vantrue thermal camera. The day's central story is Apple's Mac mini, which jumped $300 to $899 as Tom's Hardware points to AI-driven demand spiking RAM and component costs. Performance keeps climbing across the board, with the M5 Ultra's local AI beating Nvidia's DGX Spark and the M6 delivering a 2nm generational leap. Value, though, is getting thinner, so price-conscious shoppers should hold for end-of-year sales especially on winding platforms like the Z890-I.
iiyama's first OLED monitor, the G-Master GOB2701QSC, lands at a steeply discounted £299 for its 10th anniversary, offering a 280Hz Tandem WOLED panel that undercuts rivals running the same LG panel. Control Resonant split TechPowerUp's attention with both a handheld optimization guide and a 35-GPU desktop benchmark, revealing a game so demanding even an RTX 5090 needs upscaling. The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 14 IO 1300W earned better ratings than its 1600W sibling thanks to Titanium efficiency and software-controlled rails, while Prusa's CORE One L+ picked up an Editor's Choice with a small but meaningful quality upgrade. At the enterprise end, KIOXIA's CM9-R SSD set new 1-DWPD performance records for a perfect-scored win, though its ~$10,347 price keeps it out of reach for most.
Today's roundup covers seven recent reviews, from ACEMAGIC's $1,999 workstation-class mini PC with an i9 and RTX 2000 Ada to the Geekom IT13 Max, a £692.55 Core Ultra 9 rig KitGuru praises as a home-server powerhouse. On the display front, TweakTown gives the Alienware AW3426DWM 87% but flags the MSI MPG 346CQRF X24 as better value. Input and networking round out the list with Corsair's feature-rich £60 SKIFF 100 PLUS membrane keyboard and Zyxel's forward-looking BE15000 Wi-Fi 7 access point. Power supplies close it out, with the CPS PCCooler YT1200 earning strong marks for Asian-market buyers and Endorfy's sub-€100 Enduro L6 850W standing out as a standout budget pick.
