If your kid is a Polly Pocket fan, they’ll love these 8 products
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Which products for Polly Pocket fans are best? As a child, my favorite memories stem from opening a gift that contained two compact Polly Pocket sets. It felt beyond exciting to explore each compact toy. Now as an adult, I can appreciate the fun and wonder and pass it down to another younger generation. Polly Pocket toys range in size, but they are generally small enough to be easily transportable.
Transfer Trimurthulu isn't just another investigative thriller: Naveen Vadde
"The story of Transfer Trimurthulu starts slowly, but once the central conflict unfolds, it becomes compelling. The climax is especially remarkable, with an outcome that is difficult to predict," says actor-producer Naveen Vadde, talking about his upcoming release. Set to be released in theatres on June 19, Transfer Trimurthulu engages the audience from start to end. The film, co-starring Raashi Singh and others, is in safe territory on commercial front, with Zee5 lapping up OTT rights.
AMD Prepares Official Ryzen Overclocking Support for Linux
Linux users running AMD processors could soon have a much easier time tuning their hardware directly from the operating system. While Windows users have long relied on the official Ryzen Master utility to tweak performance parameters, Linux enthusiasts have had to jump into the BIOS or rely on third-party workarounds. Now, AMD is laying the groundwork for native, official Ryzen overclocking support on Linux at the kernel level.

Fellows at the MIT Kuo Sharper Center for Prosperity and Entrepreneurship dream big while staying true to themselves ILLUSTRATION: ANDREA D'AQUINO His dreams were soon tempered by reality; he learned early on that economic progress can come at an ecological price. “My journey began in Surat, India’s hub for diamonds and textiles, where I grew up surrounded by a culture of hustle and entrepreneurship,” he recalls.

Nvidia Launches GeForce RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti
Nvidia has just unleashed its latest generation of graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 5060 and the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. For gamers eager to step up their gaming experience without breaking the bank, these new cards are certainly going to be appealing. Of course, while I doubt they’ll stick around their MSRP, just like every other launch recently, they should still represent the most affordable cards on the market, and most likely in greater quantities too (but don’t quote me on that).
Cyberpower Launches Amazing Easter Gaming PC Deals
Cyberpower has just announced its latest campaign for gamers this easter, offering significant savings and exclusive free gifts on a range of high-performance gaming PCs, all with free delivery. Component prices and by proxy, PC prices in general haven’t been great recently, so any opportunity to jump on a big discount is not to be ignored.

BenQ Unveils New W5850 and W4100i Home Cinema Projectors
BenQ has just announced the launch of its new W5850 and W4100i home cinema projectors. I’m a big fan of projection at home, having invested in a big screen and projector a couple of years ago, there’s really no going back! With their implementation of their AI Cinema technology and next-generation Solid-State Illumination (SSI), they look set to be big hits too. The new Home Cinema Series incorporates solid-state illumination across all models.
Get Ready for Switch 2 With the Lexar 1 TB MicroSD Express Card
Lexar has just revealed the shipment of the world’s first 1TB microSD Express card, which is perfect for the newly revealed Nintendo Switch 2. They say that this new card is built on the new SD card standard, which combines PCI Express 3.0 and NVMe 1.3 interfaces. This means that the PLAY PRO microSDXC Express Card delivers substantially improved performance which is going to mean faster transfer times, faster saving and load, and will be a big upgrade over the older MicroSD cards.
Klevv Expands DDR5 Range with New FIT V and BOLT V Products
We’re big fans of KLEVV here at eTeknix, having both used their products personally and in some of our builds here on the site and our YouTube channel. Of course, they continue to win many awards, including some from ourselves for their fantastic quality, performance, aesthetics and competitive prices too. Earlier this week, KLEVV announced exciting updates to its existing DDR5 Gaming and OC memory lineup.
BIWIN Black Opal NV7400 4TB Gen4x4 M.2 SSD Review
BIWIN has been going from strength to strength in the last couple of years, creating some of the best SSDs and memory products on the market, both for their own in-house name and under licence for some of the biggest names in the industry. Because they manufacture themselves, they have much finer control over individual components than most brands, allowing them to deliver great quality, performance and competitive prices that are making them one of the stand-out brands for 2025 and beyond.
SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3 Series Gets Two New Keyboards
SteelSeries has just unveiled the latest additions to the massively popular Apex Pro series of keyboards. As you might expect, they have taken the keyboards you know and love, and given them a bit of a makeover for 2025. The new keyboards are the black Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 and white Apex Pro TKL Gen 3, offering improved aesthetics and a brush up on the overall features and hardware. The new Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 takes Gen 3 performance and packs it into a much smaller 60% form factor.
Thrustmaster Launches Sol-R Space Simulation Flight Sticks
I am not very good at flight sims, but I do enjoy them, and even more so when it comes with a slick custom controller to play around with. Well, with Thrustmaster launching the new Sol-R 1 Flightstick and the Sol-R 2 HOSAS Space Sim Duo, that’s at least one of those boxes ticked for me. These new controllers come packed with buttons, offering up smooth controls, and even customisable RGB lighting. Both sticks are designed to be perfect for both newbies and seasoned space explorers.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered PC Features and System Requirements Revealed
It’s only a few weeks until The Last of Us Part II Remastered lands on PC, and to celebrate, developers Naughty Dog have revealed the PC-specific features and system requirements. Without a doubt, this game should look pretty amazing, it certainly did when it was released on consoles, and with the latest Nvidia and AMD scaling technologies, and improved graphics, it should be looking and performing better than ever.
Commandos: Origins Launching on PC Next Month
Are you a fan of the classic PC game Commandos? I know I am, albeit a “fan” who hasn’t played it in about two decades. Well, if you’re looking to get back into the action like I am, Commandos: Origins can be pre-ordered from today, ahead of the game’s official launch on Steam, the Kalypso Store, Epic Games Store, and GOG, where you can get a 10% discount if you do.
ViewSonic Reveals 160/360Hz Switchable Refresh Rate IPS Monitor
ViewSonic Corp has been around since the CRT monitor days. I know I had some of their products back in the day. However, they’re still kicking around and have come back with a high-end 4K LCD IPS monitor. The new XG275D-4K comes equipped with a dual refresh rate and dual resolution function, so you can switch between a faster Full HD mode and a “slower” 4K mode to suit your needs. However, make no mistake, the refresh rate is fast in both.
MSI SUPRIM RTX 5080 SOC Graphics Card Review
When it comes to GPUs and the stupidly high-end, there are some choices to make. Not just with which brand to go for, but which particular model you decide to spend your hard-earned cash on. So, with lots of choices out there, where do you turn to?
KLEVV Cras C925 1TB Gen4 M.2 SSD Review
KLEVV continue to impress us here at eTeknix, with incredible memory and storage products that can hold their own against any of the big name brands in terms of performance, build quality and reliability. Their CRAS series continues to push the limits too, and while the new KLEVV CRAS C925 isn’t the most extreme in their range, using the slightly older Gen4 NVMe interface rather than Gen5, it’s still packing some pretty tasty performance and features that make it well worth your consideration.
Colorful Introduces CVN B850I Gaming Frozen Motherboard
Colorful has just revealed their new mini-ITX gaming motherboard, which is great news, as we see so few smaller form factor motherboards these days, especially mATX. However, today is all about the smaller mini-ITX, with the Colorful CVN B850I GAMING FROZEN. This new motherboard is designed to handle the latest Ryzen 9000 Series processors. However, being AMD, it’ll support a wide range of CPUs from the Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series thanks to its AM5 socket and B850 chipset.
TRYX PANORAMA SE AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Now Available
Last week, I brought you news that TRYX had launched their amazing PANORAMA SE AIO cooler. Why is it amazing? It features a stunning wrap around panoramic AMOLED display on the pump that is unlike anything else we’ve seen before. While TRYX are relatively new on the scene, they’re using the latest ASETEK Adela cooling solution, so we know the core hardware is going to be decent, albeit with their unique pump design on top of it all, and some lovely ARGB fans implemented too.
Sims Rival inZOI Gets PC Requirements - They’re Pretty Darn High
KRAFTON has just released the PC system requirements for its upcoming The Sims rival inZOI, and if you’re wanting to push those graphics settings up, you’re going to need nothing short of a beefy gaming PC with a powerful CPU and GPU combo. That’s not that surprising given that it’s powered by Unreal Engine 5, but I think they’re misreading the market for such games. A lot of people who play these management type games run on older systems.
NetGear Orbi 970 Series Quad-band WiFi 7 Mesh Black Edition Review
Netgear has a rich history for high-end consumer routers, and while routers are rarely something to get excited about, the new NetGear Orbi is one of the rare occasions that it can be. When it comes to providing network coverage to larger workspaces or homes, the Orbi Quad Black is extremely powerful, promising whole home coverage thanks to its base unit and satellite units.
Thermaltake Unleash Fouur New Colours of CT EX ARGB Sync PC Fans
Thermaltake has been doing one of the best things ever; bringing colours back to PC hardware. Sure, RGB has become a dominant force for customisation. However, as far as I am concerned, sticking RGB lights on a black case is not colourful. It never has been or will be. What I want are really unique and interesting PC components. We used to have Corsair making green cases that went great with Gigabyte’s green motherboards.
Western Digital Release 26TB WD Red Pro NAS Hard Drives
I remember the first HDD I owned in a system was 64MB. OK, I didn’t build that system, it was some pre-made piece of junk and it was ancient, and my first custom PC, way back in the 90s, friends called me “mad” for having not one, but two 6GB drives… the horror. Well, today, things continue to move on, and Western Digital has just expanded their range to include a 26TB HDD with the WD Red Pro NAS Hard Drive series.
Apacer Endurance Gen4 x4 NAS SSD 1TB Review
Apacer has a long history of high-performance and high-quality storage and memory products. While I know them best for their high-end memory kits, it looks like today, we’ll be playing with some more unique. Their new SSD is designed specifically for use in NAS systems. Of course, many of the most popular NAS devices use hard drives, largely due to their lower cost per gigabyte, and massive capacities compared to SSD technology.
BenQ Launched 5K and 4K 144Hz PD Series Monitors in UK
I love a good quality monitor, and while gaming monitors take a lot of the thunder these days, there’s a big demand for quality professional monitors too. The latest additions to the DesignVue PD Monitor series are set to tick all the boxes for content creators, illustrators, digital artists, game developers and other creative types. Promising reduced lag, higher resolutions, and BenQ’s exclusive colour matching technology, it’s easy to understand why we’re eager to see these new monitors.
Nvidia RTX 5050, 5060 and 5060 Ti Specs Leaked - Can They Compete With Intel & AMD?
It seems NVIDIA is gearing up to refresh its lower and mid-range GPU offerings with the GeForce RTX 50 series, introducing at least three new models: the RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5060 Ti. Based on the leaked specifications, we can start to paint a picture of what to expect from these upcoming graphics cards.
Graphics Card MSRP Pricing is Fake
New GPUs are finally here, or are they really? Even then, are they available for the price they’re meant to be? That’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about topics in PC gaming right now. So today we’re going to look at the pricing situation with AMD’s newly launched RDNA4 graphics cards compared to NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series. Now that the dust has settled from this week’s launches, we can take a proper look at what’s actually happening in stores versus what was promised.
Retail Confirm RX 9070 MSRP Applies to First Shipment - Price Increases Coming Later
It’s fair to say that AMD has hit a bit of a home run with their Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, it’s everything we could have hoped for, especially given the current prices. This is further solidified by the lackluster Nvidia RTX 5070 launch. Sure, we’re not particularly keen on the Radeon RX 9070 Non-XT model, but if there’s more stock of more affordable cards on the market, then it’s no bad thing right now.
BIWIN Black Opal X570 PRO 4TB Gen5 M.2 SSD Review
BiWin continue to amaze us with their growing range of high-performance and competitively priced storage products. It’s no wonder that BiWin make products for some of the biggest names in the industry, with their own factories, they’re able to select components to ensure premium quality at every step of the process. While their latest drive isn’t what I would call cheap, that’s hardly surprising, as it’s a 4TB Gen5x4 M.2 SSD, delivering massive storage combined with extreme performance.
TRYX Launches PANORAMA SE: Experience More for Less.
If you haven’t heard of the brand “TRYX” before, don’t worry, they’re pretty new to us here at eTeknix and have only been around since 2023. However, you can bet we’ll be doing some pretty interesting reviews and builds with their products in the coming weeks. It’s going to be hard to ignore this brand, given that they’ve created one of the most unique AIO coolers we’re likely to see in 2025.
Civilization VII’s Gets First Major Update - Crossplay Now Restored
Civilization VII got off to a rocky start, but in all honesty, so does seemingly every major game these days, and it’s bloody frustrating. However, at least with Civ, it is being actively updated to improve things, and update 1.1.0 is here! The developers said that this is their first major update, and it includes both paid and free content, “with many of the free additions influenced by community feedback”.
BENQ W2720i 4K HDR Projector Review
BenQ has established a solid reputation in the display market, known for producing a range of monitors and projectors catering to both professional and home entertainment needs. Today, we’ll be focusing on the BenQ W2720i, a 4K HDR-PRO projector designed to bring the big-screen experience to your living room. It aims to offer a high-quality image with vibrant colours and sharp detail, creating an immersive cinematic atmosphere.
BenQ EW Series Entertainment Monitors Revealed
BenQ is one of the best-known names in the display business, and it has a range of impressive monitors, projectors, and professional displays. Now, they’ve revealed their latest EW Series.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 & 9070 XT Graphics Card Review
Just yesterday, we saw the RTX 5070 launch from NVIDIA. A card that was firmly set at $549 with some bold claims to take on the market, and be the perfect upgrade from the RTX 3070, though sadly it fell short by just not offering enough to consumers where it mattered, though today it’s the turn of AMD with two cards launching by way of the RX 9070, and 9070 XT.
Iconic Publisher Acclaim Being Revived by Industry Veterans
I’m 40 years old now, and I’ve been a gamer for as long as I can remember. Given that Acclaim was founded back in 1987, it’s fair to say they’re a brand I grew up with. They released many iconic games when I was growing up. They’ve worked with developers on publishing iconic franchises like Mortal Kombat, Burnout, Turok, Crazy Taxi, Smash TV, and Ecco the Dolphin. But after two decades of nothingness, a team of industry veterans are joining forces again to bring back this iconic brand.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Collection Coming This July!
I grew up with Tony Hawk’s, when it launched on the PlayStation 1 I was a young and impressionable teenager, so naturally, I took up skateboarding, spiked my hair and got some even baggier jeans, and it was great! I’ve been replacing the original 4 Tony Hawk’s ever since, largely through emulation. However, on June 11th, I’ll be able to replay them with these glorious remasters, and well, I suppose you’ll be able to play them too; baggy jeans and spiky hair no longer required.
We Ask GameMax About Their 2025 Goals
GameMax has a pretty interesting range of products already on the market. I think it’s fair to say they’ve been seen as a budget brand, and that’s fine, there’s plenty of room in the market for budget products, especially when many people’s personal budgets are stretched a bit thin. However, for 2025, GameMax have decided to push things to the next level, redesigned their logo (see above), their brand ethos, and most importantly of all, their products.
Nvidia RTX 5070 Founders Edition Graphics Card Review
Another day, another GPU launch, and while I’m happy as that keeps us busy, it’s not exactly been plain sailing in terms of stock availability, performance uplifts generation to generation, and general niggles and issues that you get with any new product, though hopefully today, we can push forward and look at a card that is likely going to appeal to more of a mass market, as the RTX 5070 comes in with an MSRP of $549 and is set to give those who bought the ever-so popular RTX 3070 a worthy...
QNAP Reveal All-Flash 12-Bay TS-h1277AFX NAS Powered By Ryzen 7 9000
Take your NAS setups pretty seriously? If not, then this most certainly isn’t for you. The all-new TS-h1277AFX is pretty extreme, and while QNAP didn’t reveal its price, I think it would be safe to say it’ll cost somewhere between “a lot” and “a heck of a lot more”. Not only that, but populating a NAS with large format HDDs can be pretty darn expensive, but this NAS is an all-flash design, built for ultra-fast SSDs, which can cost even more.
Drop + The Lord of the Rings Introduce Gondor CSTM80 and CSTM65 Keyboards
DROP make some of the finest keyboards on the market today, I should know, I actually bought my son one a few years ago, and it’s still typing like it was brand new, it’s absolutely stunning. But that’s just a plain black one, because I’m cheap, had I known I could spend a little more for something as nice as this The Lords of Gondor edition, I’d have saved up, and bought it for myself.
ASUS Announces AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Graphics Cards
ASUS has just introduced their new Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards, utilising AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture. While we can’t talk about performance just yet, you won’t have long to wait at the cards, and their reviews, launch this week! The new cards are divided into their robust TUF Gaming and Prime series. Both of the new cards feature 16GB of GDDR6 memory, DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, and support for AMD’s HYPR-RX and FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 technologies.
AMD RDNA4 Architecture: Complete Overview and Analysis
AMD’s next-generation GPUs are nearly here, utilising the RDNA4 architecture and while you’ve probably seen our previous video about what AMD needs to do to compete with NVIDIA, today we’re focusing specifically on what RDNA4 brings to the table technically. We’ll be looking at everything from architectural improvements to performance numbers, and software features, and even making some educated price predictions.
Sapphire Unveil Their NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9070 Graphics Cards
SAPPHIRE Technology has just revealed almost everything about their upcoming SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards. While we already know these new cards are built around the latest RDNA 4 architecture from AMD, we’ve yet to see just how well this will all perform in the real world. Rest assured, we’re less than a week away from the NDA, so it won’t be long before we can get some reviews out and see what’s what.
AIB Pricing for AMD Radeon RX 9070 & XT Appears on MicroCenter
The information for the new AMD cards is coming thick and fast today, as we’re less than a week away from the publication of reviews and the cards launching to the wider public, I guess that is to be expected. Earlier today, AMD officially unveiled the new cards to the public at their event in China, as well as their prices. Of course, revealing them in China, all the cards were priced in RMB, so we had to do some conversion on the prices.
Civilization VII 1.1.0 Updates Incoming - Changelog and Plans Revealed
It’s fair to say that Civilization VII has gotten off to a rocky start. So much so that I was sitting there eager to buy it on launch week, noped out, and I’ve been busy playing Civilization VI, again.
AMD Reveals RDNA4 RX 9070 XT & RX 9070 Pricing
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and the Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards have been officially unveiled earlier today. AMD held a special event in China, where they revealed more details about the new graphics cards, but also their pricing. Although the prices were revealed in their local RMB currency, it doesn’t take a wizard to do that math from then on. The Radeon RX 9070 XT will be priced at 4999 RMB, and the RX 9070 will be just 4499 RMB.
CyberPowerPC Ultra 5090 Custom Gaming PC Review
It’s easy to think “I’ll just build my PC myself” and well, there’s nothing wrong with that. Frankly, it’s easier than ever to get compatible components, and there are endless tutorials and guides on all the finer details out there, so you can build something pretty special. However, with CyberPowerPC, you can save yourself a weekend of shopping and building and have it delivered pre-made to your specifications, ready to rock.
