AGM does not force people to choose between durability, performance and design. It falls somewhere in the middle, revealing some durable design choices but toning down the rugged accents, and fitting a 2018 flagship-class processor.

Where to buy AGM X3 The X3 is available in two versions, both sold direct from AGM’s new UK website....

Researchers at the AFRL got in touch with Sony, who supplied them older models of their product, since the newer versions don’t support Linux. You might be wondering why the Air Force would be interested in using PS3s as opposed to regular CPU technology, but there’s good reasoning behind their logic: utilizing the PS3 hardware, the total system cost of the computer ended up being around 2 million USD....

Most of the time, the Airthings Plus looks a like a generic smoke detector – that is, until you wave a hand over it, when a coloured ring illuminates in green, yellow or red to give you a top-level indicator of air quality. Still, you’re probably not buying an air quality monitor for its aesthetic appeal....
