WHAT DO YOU GET when you cross a highly respected company that specializes in display technology with a quirky piece of tech that significantly differs from the traditional monitor? That’s right, you get a projector from BenQ. Given their size and vastly improved quality, projectors now bring a whole new level of immersion to whatever type of media you consume, including gaming, and that’s what BenQ has aimed to achieve with the X3000i. This ‘gaming’ projector should tick all the same boxes as a regular projector, but also double up as an immersive display for your gaming needs.
Before we dive into the quality of the display, let’s take a look at the physical aspects offered here. The X3000i doesn’t follow the typical design cues of a regular projector, instead, it looks more like a quartz block you’d find in Minecraft, albeit a little more interesting. The design features a white, orange, and black color scheme that we like very much. Along the front, there’s a black geometric pattern that gives the unit some character, while on the sides, the air inlet and outlet grilles fit seamlessly into the overall aesthetic.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
