Corsair’s K70 RGB TKL Champion Series Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is an excellent gaming keyboard that comes in a tenkeyless form factor. For those uninitiated, Tenkeyless is a term used to describe keyboards that do not have a 10-key numeric keypad on the right side.

The tenkeyless design is absolutely amazing for gaming, doing away with the Numpad. This in turn gives your mouse a lot more room to maneuver, since you usually get little use out of a Numpad in most gaming situations. The reduction in size also means a reduction in weight, making it easier to lug your mechanical keyboard around.

Inside the box, you get the Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, along with a detachable braided USB Type-C cable to power the keyboard up. You also get a bunch of keycaps and a keycap puller for FPS and MOBA games, the warranty info, and the quick start guide.

The keyboard also comes with a “Tournament Switch”, just next to the USB Type-C, which when flicked, makes the keyboard competition ready. What this means is that it changes the backlighting on the K70 RGB TKL to a single static colour for less distraction and disables custom actions and macros.

Various profiles on the keyboard can be customised using Corsair’s iCUE software. And when you are lugging the keyboard around for gaming tournaments, you can use the profile button on the keyboard to cycle through various saved profiles on the keyboard. You can also choose between various backlighting effects by using the Function key on the keyboard and pressing the button from 1 to 0.

However, using Corsair’s iCUE software allows you to unlock settings such as dynamic lighting, macros, key assignments, and lots more. On the top left corner of the keyboard, you get the media keys, while on the top right-hand corner, you get the profile key, the brightness key, and the Windows lock key, along with the mute button and the volume scroll wheel.

The keyboard is very well built and the design is top-notch. You get a sort of a brushed metal look up top, while the keys themselves are quite nice. Underneath the keyboard, you get the anti-slip pads and the flip-out keyboard legs. In terms of polling rates, at default, the keyboard is at 1000Hz. However, if speed is what you need, you can change it to 8000Hz using the iCUE software.

Using the Corsair K70 RGB TKL for games such as Call of Duty and Elder Scrolls Online was mind-blowing. The sheer performance and comfort this keyboard offers are insane. And since it is a mechanical keyboard, typing on it felt, sort of, an out-of-the-world experience.

The key switches used in the Corsair K70 RGB TKL variant we tested, are Cherry MX Switch RGB, which felt very satisfying to type on! The keyboard also comes with 8MB of built-in storage which allows you to store up to, wait for it… 50 (!!) profiles. You can customise lots of options on the keyboard using the iCUE software.

Gaming experience using the Corsair K70 RGB TKL was excellent. The keyboard is quite fluid and responsive throughout. If you are a hardcore gamer and need a dependable keyboard to take out your competition, the Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series Mechanical Gaming Keyboard comes across as highly recommended.

Acer today announced a pair of additions to its thin, light, and powerful lineup of Swift X laptops with discrete GPUs, consisting of a new 14-inch and 16-inch model. Alongside this, Acer has also announced new Aspire C27 and C24 All-in-One (AIO) PCs. All of the new PCs announced today feature the latest 12th Gen Intel Core processors.

Acer Swift X
The ultra-portable laptop – Swift X (SFX14-51G) 14-inch laptop, weighing just 1.4 kg, packs up to a 12th Gen Intel Core processor with up to 12 cores and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU into its 17.9 mm thin aluminum chassis. A fan, air inlet keyboard, and dual heat pipes dissipate the heat generated by this hardware, helping the device maintain the peak performance expected by content creators studying or working in multimedia design.

The 16-inch model (SFX16-52G) features 12th Gen Intel Core processors with up to 12 cores (4 P-cores and 8 E-cores) and discrete Intel Arc^™ graphics. Keeping the laptop cool are dual fans, dual copper heat pipes, an air inlet keyboard, and a bigger side exhaust port. Co-engineered with Intel, the device will meet the requirements of an Intel Evo laptop through Intel’s hardware specifications and key experience targets for responsiveness, instant wake, battery life, fast charge and intelligent collaboration.

Both models run on Windows 11 and feature a 16:10 aspect-ratio IPS screen—2240×1400 for the 14-in model and up to 2560×1600 (WQXGA) for the 16-in model—with stunningly narrow bezels, allowing for up to a 92.22% screen-to-body ratio. Combined with 100% coverage of the sRGB color gamut and up to 400 nits of brightness, the Swift X wows with crystal clear images and delivers immersive viewing experiences. Further enhancing these images, it also features Acer BluelightShield^™ for more comfortable viewing, plus Acer ExaColor and Acer Color Intelligence for more vibrant colors.

In addition to up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 2 TB of PCIe SSD storage for faster navigation, the new Swift X models combine Intel Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) for fast and stable connectivity—perfect for high-speed file sharing and smooth 4k streaming. From there, the laptops’ I/O includes two Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40 GBs) support, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0, and a fingerprint reader for easy login with Windows Hello. The production capacity of both models is further enhanced by an FHD webcam with Acer’s Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR) technology for high-quality imagery even in low-light conditions, Acer PurifiedVoice with AI Noise Reduction for clearer com-calls, and DTS audio.

Acer Aspire C27 and C24
For enhanced performance when working from home, the Aspire C27 (27-inch, C27-1751) and C24 (24-inch, C24-1750) All-In-One (AIO) PCs have been refreshed with Windows 11 and up to the latest 12^th Gen Intel Core i7 processors, the latest NVIDIA GeForce MX550 GPU and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, plus a 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD. From there, a host of connectivity options backs up this powerful hardware, such as Wi-Fi 6E for fast and stable connectivity, Bluetooth 5.2 for simplified data-sharing between devices, and Thunderbolt 4 for up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth.

Video calling has never been more important especially with flexible working nowadays, and the Aspire C27 responds to this need with a 5.0 MP webcam and two stereo microphones for high-quality video conferencing—and with a 91.14% screen-to-body ratio, the display looks gorgeous. It can also be tilted (-5 to 25°), allowing users to find the perfect angle before getting started. Acer BlueLightShield technology provides more comfortable viewing, and once the call is over, a physical webcam cover provides privacy and peace of mind.

As a final touch, this ultra-slim AIO delivers tidy and space-saving for cable management, keeping the workspace free from distraction—and being finished in black with platinum details, the Aspire C27 and Aspire C24 look incredibly sharp, too. Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region.

Legion Arena
Whether you’re a diehard gamer or a casual one, you likely are deploying multiple apps to optimize your gaming experience. From the actual games available across platforms, to the apps that enable benchmarking, performance tuning and gamer interaction, it can be a lot to manage. Switching between these different apps to find and customize what and how you play can add unwanted complexity and waste precious time. To get gamers back into the game faster, Lenovo is launching Legion Arena, a gaming library that links to popular platforms and online stores to consolidate all of your purchased PC games into one easy to find, centralized hub.

For Legion users that are interested in fighting climate change, the Lenovo CO2 Offset Service gives them an opportunity to compensate for the environmental impact of their purchased device.
