**Kinston's Data Traveler Ultimate GT2 Terabyte USB Key Announced**

Kinston has announced their latest product, the Data Traveler Ultimate GT2 terabyte USB key. This is not an SSD, but rather a USB key with a large capacity of 2 terabytes. The company previously released a 1 terabyte version of this product last year, which generated significant attention and interest among consumers. As expected, the new GT2 terabyte model has doubled in capacity, making it a substantial storage solution for users who need to transfer large files or store extensive amounts of data.

The Data Traveler Ultimate GT2 terabyte USB key boasts USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds on spec, although it does not quite reach the full speed of 10 gigabits per second associated with the newer "USB 3.1" standard. Instead, it operates at slower speeds closer to five gigabits per second. While this may seem underwhelming compared to modern storage standards, the capacity of the device is certainly noteworthy.

The question remains as to whether anyone will actually pay for a 2 terabyte USB key. Given that most external hard drives and SSDs offer significantly larger capacities at competitive prices, it's unclear what benefits would justify the high price point of such a device. At present, the Data Traveler Ultimate GT2 terabyte is available on Newegg for around $2,000, with Amazon pricing it at approximately $2,800.

**HyperX Division Announces Pulse Fire Mouse and Updated Alloy Keyboard**

Kinston's HyperX division has recently announced two new products: the Pulse Fire mouse and the updated Alloy RGB keyboard. The Pulse Fire mouse is expected to be a significant upgrade over previous models in terms of design and functionality, although specific details have not been released yet.

The updated Alloy RGB keyboard is a notable development, as it represents an evolution of the original FPS Alloy keyboard that was previously reviewed by PCMag. The new version, dubbed the Alloy RGB, retains many of the same features and benefits as its predecessor but adds a range of new RGB LEDs to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the device.

While the Pulse Fire mouse and updated Alloy RGB keyboard may not be particularly revolutionary or groundbreaking in terms of their technology or design, they do demonstrate Kinston's commitment to continually improving and expanding its product lineup. As with many new products from reputable manufacturers, it will be interesting to see how these devices perform in real-world use.

**Logitech Announces G5 33 Headset at Lower Price Point**

In a move that may surprise some enthusiasts of Logitech products, the company has recently announced the G5 33 headset at a lower price point than its predecessor, the G9 33. The new G5 33 model is priced at $150, which is $50 less than the launch MSRP of the G9 33.

This development may be seen as something of an oddity in the world of high-end audio products, where manufacturers often prioritize prestige and reputation over competitive pricing. Logitech has a long history of producing high-quality headsets that are popular among audiophiles and gamers alike, but this latest product is notable for its decision to launch at a lower price point.

While it's not entirely clear what specific changes or upgrades the G5 33 headset will offer compared to the G9 33, it's worth noting that Logitech has made some concessions in terms of design and features. The new headset reportedly has fewer buttons than the previous model and loses some of the extra functionality that was present on the G6 33.

In terms of pricing, the new G5 33 may be an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their audio experience without breaking the bank. However, it's also worth noting that Logitech is using this product as a way to clear out inventory and make room for more recent models in its lineup, which could lead to fluctuations in price over time.

**RAM from Predator Series Announced**

Logitech's RAM products have long been popular among gamers and enthusiasts of high-performance memory. The company has recently announced the latest iteration of its Predator RGB kit, a product that can communicate with certain motherboards to synchronize LEDs on compatible boards.

The new Predator RGB kit is notable for its compatibility with a range of different boards, including those from Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI. This level of flexibility is unusual in the world of gaming RAM, where products often operate independently of one another without any sort of synchronization or communication.

In terms of specifications, the new Predator RGB kit appears to offer many of the same benefits as its predecessor, including higher speeds and capacities than standard memory kits. However, specific details on the kit's performance characteristics have not been released yet.

**New Headset from Logitech**

Logitech has recently announced a new headset that is closely related to the G9 33 model that was previously reviewed by PCMag. The new headset, which is being called the G5 33, boasts many of the same features as its predecessor but with some key differences.

The most significant change appears to be in terms of pricing and design, with the new headset launching at a lower price point than the G9 33 model. However, it's not entirely clear what specific changes or upgrades the G5 33 headset will offer compared to the G6 33.

In some respects, this development may seem like an oddity in the world of high-end audio products, where manufacturers often prioritize prestige and reputation over competitive pricing. Logitech has a long history of producing high-quality headsets that are popular among audiophiles and gamers alike, but this latest product is notable for its decision to launch at a lower price point.

Overall, the G5 33 headset appears to be an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their audio experience without breaking the bank. However, it's also worth noting that Logitech is using this product as a way to clear out inventory and make room for more recent models in its lineup, which could lead to fluctuations in price over time.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit is day zero of CES the show officially starts tomorrow but today is when a lot of the pre news briefings happen we've got some news items for you coming up on the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti and laptops freesync version two there's some new peripherals from Logitech and HyperX the Kingston division before getting to that this coverage is brought to you by Thermaltake and their core p1t G Mini ITX chassis which is wall mountable like the p3 click the link in the description below for more information so at 9 a.m. yesterday while posting the Intel KB Lake 7700 K and the z2 70 motherboard reviews and Vinnie decided to push out hey before then silent announcement on the 1050 and 1050 TI in notebooks this is one that we've all been waiting for at this point because it was clearly going to happen and the 10-15-20 TI make a whole lot of sense in a notebook obviously we'll have to test it review it but on paper it sounds good so they announced this around the same time intel's kb lake products left embargo and NDA and the main news here is that like the previous desktop GPUs in a laptop these are the same GPUs it's still GP 107 just like in desktops the only difference here is that there is an increase in memory capacity so vram goes from two gigabytes on the 1050 and desktops a hard to gigabyte limit to 4 gigabytes maximally on laptops can be 2 or 4 and then the 1050 Ti is the same memory capacity but has some differences in the clock rate and that's primarily on the TI version because it goes about 200 megahertz higher than the technical reference clock of the 1050 Ti even though there were no actual reference cards to the 1050 TI clock goes up about 200 megahertz something like 1493 boost or base rather and about 1620 boost for the clock right on the 1050 Ti the 1050 is also 1493 push so it's a bit higher not as impressive as a 1050 Ti but that's what we know so far for the Nvidia new GPUs and notebooks they will be available in quarter one of 27 teens is pretty soon and all the major vendors are pushing them already we don't have hard prices for individual notebooks yet but we know that they should start start big key phrase there for any manufacturer at $700 now of course where they actually will land maybe a bit more than that but as far as laptops with a modern Pascal GPU that's certainly the cheapest out there right now as for AMD news the biggest piece right now is free sync version 2 will be meeting with Andy this week a bit later and at that point we'll be able to look at the monitors in person see what the real differences are hopefully talk about some other subjects that may be coming up during CES but for what I have right now free sync version 2 basically the GPU a radeon GPU as they've specified it can handle the tone mapping on behalf of the monitors rather than this action occurring on the display and creating some amount of latency it is now pushed and deferred to the GPU which is a bit faster at it because it's a GPU and that's kind of what it does so you reduce latency in theory we'll have to try it in person to really know but tone mapping is handled in that regard so ultimately what's going on is the GP talks the monitor gets the illuminance the color space and things like that and calculates it for it in storage News Kingston's data traveler ultimate gt2 terabyte USB key has been announced so this is not an SSD it is a USB key and this is something that they did a year or two ago with the one terabyte drive made a lot of noise then so of course they've doubled it other than that it's not too exciting this is a USB 3.1 gen2 on spec and side note here technically what we know as USB 3.0 does not really exist anymore it's now being referred to as USB 3.1 Jan 1 so this is not the 10 gigabit per second speed that you would associate usually with USB 3.1 it's the older speeds slower so it's closer to five gigabits per second so nothing special in terms of speed just capacity 2 terabytes somewhat special in its own right it's a big block we don't know the price I can tell you now that the one terabyte model is selling on Newegg for about 2 grand and on Amazon for about $2,800 so this will be a bit more than that while we're on the topic of Kinston there HyperX division or sort of a side company now at this this point has announced the pulse fire mouse they've got an updated version of the alloy keyboard that we saw a pact so that was the FPS alloy then now there's the alloy RGB you guessed it and it's got RGB LEDs so that's the keyboard that's it's just got LED isn't it the mouse will talk about more once we see it in person the RAM is kind of worth mentioning that's the predator RGB memory again big surprise but this one at least is communicating with motherboards so that is somewhat unique in that the predator RGB kit can talk to Asus gigabyte and MSI RGB boards so that would be things like the Auris boards and the mystic lighting boards from MSI and synchronize with those LEDs which is worth mentioning because kits like a vectors memory although cool and function completely independently and don't really synchronize with the LEDs on the boards and finally Logitech just today announced their g5 33 headset which if you take the g6 33 and g9 33 that we've previously covered it's basically the same thing they've made a few changes but the core heart of the headset remains the same it's the same pro geez and same wireless functionality as the g9 33 a few things here the g5 33 is a $150 MSRP so that puts its launch MSRP 50 dollars below the g9 33 is launched I'm at sarpy which sounds great because it's $50 less 150 verse 200 but if you look on any retailer right now the g9 233 is available $450 and this is a consistent problem with Logitech where they take these products that are new and maybe reimagined would be the best word but they're older products which are still perfectly fine are often available for cheaper or at least the same price we saw this with the prodigy series headsets where the G 400 series headsets were available for about $20 less than the prodigy version of those headsets what then does the g5 33 change well where most companies are taking products shoving RGB LEDs into them and calling them new products Logitech's gone the other way with the g9 33 they took the LEDs out and they created the g5 33 so it is an LED list headset we have now gone full circle and to the same sort of end there's a few other features removed there's buttons so that have been taken off of the 533 from the 933 it's been simplified overall in terms of the chassis and all the stuff that's on it that you can interact with and they now have rechargeable and swappable batteries which is probably the most significant item of difference between the two and other than that there's not a whole lot of difference between the 533 in the 933 price is the same Wireless range should be more or less the same the chassis looks a little bit different as well but we'll have to get hands-on to really figure out if that's relevant and if it's resolved some of the headset sliding forward issues that we had originally when reviewing the g6 33 so that pretty much covers the basics that's the Logitech news and all the other stuff before it if you have any questions about how this what's going on with this
