Axagon: “Everything Outside the PC.” Including USB4 (Type-C) Docks

News, Peripherals | | Ľubomír Samák

Axagon also came to present its expertise at the HWCooling Techtour ‘26 conference. This Brno-based brand (whose reach extends beyond the Czech borders) is geographically the closest to us. And not only in that way: besides the technical mindset, we believe we also understand each other on a human level. What matters now, however, is what they brought and demonstrated to students at the schools. We have, as usual, documented it all.

NASes, Peripherals, News, Motherboards | | Ľubomír Samák

Yes, the “main” topic with the most attention was motherboards (and the tech around them), but peripherals under the Asus banner also shone at the HWCooling Techtour ‘26 conference. Mice, keyboards, headphones… and there is more, which, incidentally, students also won for their activity. In this article, to give a better idea, we will map out roughly how it all looked. At the Asus booth, but also outside it. Read more “What Did Asus Have for Schools? Mobos, but Also Peripherals” »

News, Peripherals | | Ľubomír Samák

Besides what BeQuiet! is best known for—PC components that go inside a case—the company also offers other PC hardware. The kind that connects to a computer (including laptops, of course), such as keyboards and mice. We also learned that anything producing sound is not currently on the horizon. So if you’re looking for an audio headset, you’ll have to turn elsewhere. More on that in this short report from Computex 2026. Read more “BeQuiet! also showcased keyboards and mice.

This year’s Computex may be over, but we still have some stuff from it that we want to publish. These include the Fractal Design product showcase.

Extra tests, Monitors, Peripherals, Televisions | | Tomáš Brestovanský

Philips offers up to four different OLED models, and after the second highest (907), the cheaper model numbered 807 has made its way to us. However, to avoid repeating the same test over and over again, this time we’ll also focus on DTS Play-Fi technology, using the TAW6205 wireless speaker. Thanks to its WiFi connection, it has several advantages over conventional speakers. This will be discussed as well. Read more “Philips OLED 807 test with Play-Fi external speaker” »

Sonnet Echo 11 TB4 and Echo Dual NVMe docks dual-test

Extra tests, Peripherals | | Tomáš Brestovanský

Modern docking stations look a little different than they did years ago. Firstly, no more proprietary connectors, and for another, they allow you to connect a large number of accessories thanks to the very high-bandwidth Thunderbolt interface. A port in a laptop itself is a good start, but it doesn’t mean “anything” on its own and needs a little help to branch out. And that, in the context of this test, is the task of Sonnet, the docking station specialist. Read more “Sonnet Echo 11 TB4 and Echo Dual NVMe docks dual-test” »
