Xiaomi Mi 5 Review

PROS Looks great Plenty of high-end specs Lovely screen Quick, detailed camera Super cheap CONS Have to import it Camera struggles in low light Skin is nothing like Android 6.0   KEY FEATURES 5.15-inch 1080p display Snapdragon 820 4GB RAM 32GB internal storage USB Type-C with Quick Charge 3.0 Curved Gorilla Glass back Fingerprint sensor NFC 16MP camera Manufacturer: Xiaomi Review Price: £275.00 WHAT IS THE XIAOMI MI 5? The  Samsung Galaxy S7 ,  LG G5  and  HTC 10  are all great phones. No doubt about it. But, they're also expensive. You'll need to shell out at least £500 to buy each device outright or pay £40 a month as part of contract. But what if you could get a handset with a similar spec for hundreds of pounds less? The Xiaomi Mi 5 is just that phone. It has the same CPU as the HTC 10, a camera with the same megapixel count as the LG G5 and a design similar to the beautiful Galaxy S7. Yet it can ...

Best Graphics Card 2017: 8 Best Gaming GPUs From AMD And Nvidia

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1050 Key features: PCI-E bus powered Great Full HD performance in basic games 2GB memory Review price: £110 THE BEST CARD FOR ESPORTS We weren't expecting the GTX 1050 to be particularly good value, but at the time of review – and up against AMD's excellent RX 460 – it just about did enough to stay ahead. With prices starting at £110, it's £20 more expensive than the cheapest RX 460s. However, the benefits are that you get a much smaller board, lower power consumption and better performance. If your budget will stretch to the GTX 1050, it's worth it for that. It performed well in our benchmarks, topping 250fps in CS:GO, 112fps in Overwatch, and it even managed 46fps in Hitman at Medium settings. For eSports players who like to dabble in a bit of AAA gaming, it's a good card. The limitation is memory: in this day and age 2GB is probably too little, so be sure to check out the minimum requirements of new games carefull...
7 Reasons To Be Thankful For Technology However, I think it is time someone gave credit where credit is due. Here are seven reasons why we should be thankful for all the new (and constantly evolving) technology we have available to us: 1. It allows us all to be more “earth-friendly."   Thanks to e-mail and the Internet, as well as the ease in document imaging, we can all communicate with each other without having to waste paper and ink, not to mention stamps! 2. We can instantly access information on practically any topic we want, whenever we want.  I remember when I was a kid, all research required a trip to the library and old-fashioned research with a set of encyclopedias. Now, if you need to find a Mexican restaurant within 1 mile of your location, you can not only find one, but you can check out the menu and order online so your food is waiting for you when you show up! 3. It keeps us in touch.  Although it can easily be argued we’ve gone too far in this de...
