Tech Talk

Chatting with the AC forums. Whether for light work or surfing the web on the couch, there's nothing like one of the best Chromebooks to get the job done. I'm partial to the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (pictured above) for my leisurely activities, but there are many other affordable options out there. Whether you purchase a new Chromebook on sale or buy used, you're getting more computer for longer than ever, with newer models having AUE (auto expiration dates) stretching out up to eight years. Over on the AC forums, there was a bit of discussion about the best options in the $200 Chromebook space. Several folks mentioned the Duet, as well as the ASUS CM3. walterg5 03-25-2021 02:03 AM “ When my Acer C720 reached EOL, I started looking for a replacement. Because of photo editing I was doing I got a laptop instead. I miss having a chromebook. So with a low budget of $200 I'm looking for a something for web browsing and watching Netflix, or Hulu, etc. Acer Spin

Elgato is making waves with the Wave 3. I won't apologize for that pun. After spending some time testing out the Yeti X microphone, I was able to try the Elgato Wave 3, another that came up frequently when I was researching what mics people prefer to use when game streaming. You'll find a lot of people swear by one or the other — someone even commented on a tweet regarding my Yeti X review to say that the Wave 3 was better — but I find them fairly comparable. I have a little less to complain about with the Wave 3, but they're both excellent in terms of audio quality. The Elgato Wave 3 can easily stand beside the best microphones for PS5 and even just some of the best streaming equipment in general. If you're a professional or amateur streamer, the Elgato Wave 3 should definitely be on your radar. Elgato Wave 3 review: Price and availability What's great What's bad The competition Should you buy? Elgato Wave 3 Bottom line: The Elgato Wa

A solid webcam for content creators that offers a suite of customization options in an easy-to-use app. If you've read any of my initial headset, microphone, or even gaming chair reviews over the years, you might know how this one starts. I didn't grow up with the latest tech and didn't have lots of money to spend on extravagant things. As such, the only webcam I've really known is the built-in webcam on my HP laptop, and... it's not great, to put it mildly. When you'd look at the best streaming equipment for PS4 and PS5 over the years, I didn't have any of it. I've now had the opportunity to try out the Logitech StreamCam, which I can say is the first proper webcam I've ever used. While I may not be in the greatest position to judge it based on everything the market offers, I did get a good feel for it compared to my laptop webcam and the Razer Kiyo Pro, which I've also been sent and will be reviewing in the coming weeks. It has its own s

The final batch of European World Cup qualifiers for March sees Poland travel to Wembley Stadium to take on England in this Group I top-two clash. Don't miss a moment with our England vs Poland live stream guide. England sit at the top of Group I after two games in this FIFA World Cup 2020 qualifying campaign following a 5-0 win against minions San Marino and a 2-0 win away in Albania. Though the Three Lions will be grateful to have six points at this stage — and are the only team in the group maintaining a 100% record — the side were expected to win both of those ties against much lower-ranked opposition. Poland will represent a tougher test today. It's one win and one draw for Poland from their opening two games with the Eagles beating Andorra 3-0 in their last outing and recording a 3-3 draw in Hungary to open the campaign. Those results leave Poland in second place for now, just above Hungary by way of head-to-head away goals. Poland will be without star player Rob
