Super Fast Rechargeable Battery:

Check this out, Toshiba has developed a lithium-ion battery that recharges in one minute. Wow. One minute. You can’t get much quicker than that. Well, not at battery charging that is.

Toshiba on Tuesday announced a new lithium-ion battery -- the type used in virtually all laptops -- that recharges 60 times faster than current batteries and loses less than one percent of its capacity after 1,000 recharges.

ABIT Radeon RX700Pro:

Here is a review for those of you interested in a ABIT Radeon RX700Pro. The review isn’t in English so I have no idea how well the card performed other than what I gathered from looking at the pretty graphs. Grab a translator and check this one out.

Wie versprochen machen wir mit der Abit RX-Serie weiter und testen diese Woche ein weiteres Modell der Radeon X-Generation. Diesmal ist die X700Pro dran mit 256 MB Speicher. Schon im letzten Bericht haben wir die vielen verschiedenen Unterstufen der Radeon Karten erwähnt, vielleicht mehr bemängelt.
