HIS Radeon HD6670 iSilence 4
As you might be able to glean from the name, the Radeon HD6670 iSilence4 from HIS is the latest in a long line of passively cooled and therefore silent graphic cards, from the Hong Kong based company. This latest member of the iSilence family is based around AMD’s HD6670 (codename Turks) 40nm core – which…
Sony Vaio C Series VPC-CA1S1E
As you’d expect from Sony, the new Vaio C Series is something of a looker. Our review model was the white version of this mid-range lifestyle laptop which comes in a choice of four other colours: black, pink, orange and green.

With the wait over, we leapt at the chance to…
Sapphire – Radeon HD6870 FleX Edition
The first card to feature Sapphire’s FleX solution for AMD’s Eyefinity technology, the Radeon HD5770 FleX, went down a storm when it was launched in mid-2010. It enabled users to create a three-monitor Eyefinity setus without having to buy a monitor with the specialised DisplayPort input, or use an expensive dongle. Now that technology has…
