Epson Endeavor TD160E review. You have to see how times change. Do you remember from Epson and its famous printers? Personally I had long heard nothing of this manufacturer, which had fallen almost into oblivion. However , the company still active and so much so that in an attempt to rise from its ashes a phoenix which announced the launch of its first computer All in One focused on home users, the Epson Endeavor TD160E.

In fact it is not that wonderful team, but it’s something and something is better than nothing. The Epson Endeavor TD160E All in One is a capacitive touch screen with 10 points with a size of 15.6 inches and 1366 x 768 resolution, as a portable standard 15 inches. It houses an Intel Celeron N3150 1.60 GHz processor with 2GB of DDR3 memory and a 64GB SSD capacity. Read Celeron N3150 benchmark here.

Yes, the system is totally silent since it lacks active cooling (fanless), thereby being ideal for use in spaces where silence is very important as libraries or hospitals. It incorporates WiFi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth, one RJ-45 Gigabit and two USB 3.0 and HDMI video output connectivity.

The Epson Endeavor TD160E Pro comes with Windows 10 operating system factory and the manufacturer will offer different configuration options. In its most basic version (which I have described) will hit stores mid-March with a price of $ 889, quite high for what it offers.

We’ll see how she is going to Epson with this attempt to return to the domestic market, although it seems they have already left far behind the time when they were a world leader in the field of printers and related devices. Since then the team of which I speak today not blunts its hardware or its price exactly, but who knows if it’s just a test to see what market segment can be positioned.

Corsair has just announced the update to its family of headphones Gaming VOID with the inclusion of two new models, the Corsair Corsair VOID VOID Surround and Wireless RGB white color, thus expanding the range of headphones for games compatible with PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Integrated Dolby Headphone 7.1 surround sound with the convenience of not having cables through. The VOID Wireless RGB have a range of 12 meters and eye to the data, a range of up to 16 hours. Share exactly the same design as the previous model, so they are just as comfortable and lightweight.

However developments are also added with regard to the software, and is updated Corsair CUE to add what they called VOID Visualizer. This function is to combine a headset with a VOID RGB RGB Corsair keyboard (such as RGB K70 or STRAFE RGB ) LEDs to display on the keyboard graphic equalizer depending on the sound that comes out of the VOID headphones, creating spectacular effects.

The recommended retail price for Corsair VOID Surround is 79.99 euros, while the VOID Wireless RGB white rises to 129.99 euros. Both are available by manufacturer, but as always it will take a few days longer to reach the stores.

Incidentally, since I anticipate we’re waiting until we get a sample for analysis VOID Wireless RGB white, so that soon we will tell you what it looks like first hand, and in combination with an RGB STRAFE keyboard.
