Biggest MacBook design change in years just leaked
While the iPhone 12 has several color options, the MacBook has remained boring on the design front for several years. At the moment, the darkest MacBook you can buy is ‘space grey’, which isn’t all that dark. This seems like a strange oversight, given our love of black tech products. But it looks like Apple is finally planning on catching up if a new patent is to be taken at face value. Interest ... Read more

CORSAIR ICUE H115I ELITE CAPELLIX REVIEW
The iCue H115i Elite Capellix is the latest CPU chiller from Corsair and boy is it colourful. You’d better like lights if you're planning on picking up this all-in-one cooler. This thing has a lot of lights. OK, the RGB functionality is far from the only thing Corsair’s latest all-in-one water cooling solution has going for it.

It’s not so useful when you forget it exists. For the past week or two, some Y ... Read more
