Corsair is a household name when it comes to peripherals. And they’ve pretty much perfected the art of designing incredible gaming headsets at budget prices – late 2017’s Corsair HS50 is testament to that.  Yet only a few months after its successful release comes its higher end cousin in all its wireless, virtual surround sound glory. The $135 (about £100, AU$180) HS70 might not look like a powerhouse on the outside, what with its simple, understated look, but it’s a goddess in the game room. Design As far as HS70’s overall look, we appreciate what they’re trying to do. With its sleek, mostly-black design, we like the fact that it’s nothing flashy. It doesn’t have any of the bells and whistles that many other gaming peripherals have, and aesthetically, it’s a good fit for users who aren’t into that gamer look. Structurally, Corsair says that it’s made of premium rugged metal components and gunmetal trimmings that are designed to last. Obviously, we cannot confirm this for sur...

Following in the footsteps of the Asus ROG Strix GL502 , which received our high praises for combining portability with power, the Asus ROG Strix Scar Edition has all the makings of a solid gaming machine. And, we mean that both literally, with its hefty built, and figuratively, with its gaming performance. Unfortunately, it’s also inherited some of the GL502’s shortcomings, the worst of which is its battery life. Compared to Alienware 17 and the Gigabyte Aero 15 ’s batteries, the Strix Scar Edition’s battery life is pretty unimpressive. Thankfully, the laptop makes up for that with sleek, subtle gaming style, lots of gaming firepower, a fantastic keyboard and surprisingly robust sound. That package ain’t too shabby, and makes it easier to overlook the underwhelming battery in exchange. Price and availability With the exception of the new incredibly slim gaming line of the ROG Zephyrus computers, starting at $2,399 (about £1,979, AU$3,549), the ROG Strix Scar Edition is among the...
