Motorola Xoom: First Impressions | IGXPRO

After the initial launch of the iPad, everyone seemed to have gone into a tablet frenzy. It wasn’t until recently that companies started to put out real competition for the iPad. So, when IGXPro was trying to decide which tablet IGXPro would like to receive this year for my birthday present, IGXPro was stuck. The Playbook, while amazing, isn’t too friendly without a Blackberry. The size was also a large factor, as my Motorola Atrix was too close to the size of the Playbook.

I bought one and eventually returned it but only after i realized how many bills i could pay with 634 dollars. It was actually a really nice tablet though just too expensive.

Yeah, it's really only useful if you require something mobile.. all tablets in my opinion are overpriced but what can you do. At least it's not like the playbook that freezes within the first 12 hours of owning it.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
