M-Audio Revolution 7.1 review

By Ian Bell May 31, 2003

Quote from Gaming 3D review:

“I really wanted to like this card. I really did. It really shows it’s pro-audio roots with it’s uber lack of noise. But what’s also shown is it’s rookie roots: it’s M-Audio’s first consumer sound card, and it sure feels like it. It’s includes a certificate for a piece of software that isn’t ready, it projects a DVD-A player that has no ETA, it doesn’t (officially) support Win98, the drivers include no equalizer, and they’re buggy like hell. To be honest, I could live with everything else… but the drivers… the drivers are it’s downfall. I have tried to call my M-Audio contacts on this, both on phone and on email… no answer. “

Our take is that this review is right on. Tweaknews.net reviewed this card a while ago and loved it, but I had my doubts because several people were posting in our forums stating otherwise. Kudos for Gaming in 3d for an honest review and a good one at that!

M2 MacBook Air vs. M1 MacBook Air: things have changed

A man holds the new Macbook Air (2022) in his hands.

The Apple MacBook Air M1 has been among our favorite MacBooks for some time now, and it's even held a place on our list of the best laptops overall. The new MacBook Air M2 is a significant redesign, bringing with it a new chassis and Apple's latest M2 processor.

Sometimes, it's easy to recommend the new model over the old one, especially when the new model brings significant improvements. The M2 MacBook Air qualifies, as it feels a lot more like a completely new model than a simple replacement of the old one. While Apple continues to sell the original M1 MacBook Air at a lower price, the M2 MacBook Air can often be had for only a little more money. That makes the choice between them a lot easier.

I’m a laptop reviewer. Here’s why I still use a laptop from 2021

I'm pretty much always using a new laptop as my daily driver -- whichever one that I'm testing for review. And in 2023 alone, I've reviewed almost 40 machines, ranging from near-budget machines with solid performance and impressive features all the way up to innovative devices like the HP Spectre Foldable PC.

But occasionally, there's a lull in new releases, which gives me a chance to do a gut check. Which laptop do I return to as my primary work machine? To my own surprise, it's none of the flashy new releases from 2023. It's a laptop from way back in 2021 that remains my favorite. Not coincidentally, it's the only laptop I've purchased myself in years. That laptop is the first-gen Apple MacBook Pro 14, and it's held up so well against the competition that I still haven't felt compelled to replace it. Here's why.
