Not only has it been nearly two years since the last Mac Mini was released, but it’s also become increasingly difficult to find an older M4 Mini for purchase in recent months. In the year of the AI agent, Apple’s Mac Mini has enjoyed a surge in popularity to the point of dwindling supplies and long wait times.</p> <p>The compact, quiet and affordable Mini with its energy-efficient yet powerful Apple silicon and unified memory has become a popular pick for people looking to run OpenClaw and other local AI agents around the clock. Even at its slightly elevated starting price of $899, the M6 Mini is sure to remain en vogue as a tiny, always-on AI server. The core count ticks up for the CPU, GPU and NPU in going from the M4 to the M6, skipping over the M5 in the process.</p> <p>If you want to pack more power into the Mac Mini for running demanding creative workloads or larger LLMs, Apple offers two M5 Pro processor upgrades and the ability to stuff the Mini with up to 64GB of RAM. Apple sent me a pair of Mac Minis to test, an M6 model with bumps to the memory and storage and a loaded M5 Pro unit whose price places it in Mac Studio territory. </p> <p>For $899, the M6 Mac Mini has 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a 2.5Gb Ethernet adapter. Offering 256GB of storage on a desktop computer, no matter how small that computer may be, is borderline offensive. You can’t even buy a MacBook Air with a 256GB SSD after Apple jettisoned that undersized option earlier this year. Unfortunately, the cost to double the storage to 512GB is steep at $200, which quickly pushes the price of the Mac Mini over $1,000. Want to double it again to 1TB? That’s another $300. Be prepared to part with another $500 if you want to double it yet again to 2TB.</p> <p>Memory costs are similarly steep. Each 8GB upgrade adds $200 to the bill, going from 16GB to 24GB and 24GB to 32GB. Choose one of the M5 Pro upgrades, and you can take the memory to 48GB or 64GB and storage up to a whopping 8TB. (I’ll let you discover those upgrade prices on your own; just be sure you’re sitting down when you take a look.)</p> <p>View: <a href="https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/m6-mac-mini-first-look-bigger-power-packed-in-same-small-package/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Full Article</a> </p> </div> Mon, 21 Sep 2026 13:51:36 +0000 Kenneth Kwok 32168 at https://aphnetworks.com Keychron V3 8K Review (Page 1 of 4) https://aphnetworks.com/reviews/keychron-v3-8k <span>Keychron V3 8K Review (Page 1 of 4)</span> <div> <img loading="lazy" src="https://aphnetworks.com/sites/default/files/styles/title_crop/public/2026-09/slideshow.jpg?itok=xWYNcU4i" width="1080" height="350" alt="Keychron V3 8K Review"> </div> <span><span>Aaron Lai</span></span> <span><time datetime="2026-09-18T22:35:08-06:00" title="Friday, September 18, 2026 - 22:35">Fri, 09/18/2026 - 22:35</time> </span> <div><p><b><i>By: Aaron Lai<br> September 18, 2026</i></b></p> <p>Whenever I am in Toronto, I am always reminded of the excellent food selection regardless of where you are. I was there last month for a convention located in the downtown area. However, within a short walk, we tried different cuisines that were both delicious and affordable. This included cheaper locations for dumplings or meat patties, various Chinese noodles, and all-you-can-eat sushi. We even tried a more upscale Vietnamese place that one might call a "flavor explosion". Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for my hometown, as our area seems to all serve similar food and requires a bit more travel to get variety. Obviously, this comes with the better walkability of downtown Toronto as opposed to Calgary, but the food scene is more vibrant and diverse. In a similar vein, some keyboard manufacturers have options that come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. These hit different price points and target audiences. However, our manufacturer today, Keychron, takes a more focused approach, as their keyboards are streamlined in design and implementation. Unlike food, there can still be positives from here, as this approach leads to greater consistency in execution. Today, we have the Keychron V3 8K, which is a wired tenkeyless option that provides up to 8000Hz report rate. How does this keyboard perform, and does it align with the other solid options from Keychron? Let us read on to find out!</p> <p><img src="//aphnetworks.com/article_images/reviews/keychron-v3-8k/001.jpg"></p> <p>Our review unit of the Keychron V3 8K arrived from their headquarters based in Shunde, Guangdong, China. It was shipped via DHL International Express and came to our APH Networks location, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The package was stored in a DHL-branded poly mailer shipping bag and filled with several layers of bubble wrap to cushion the V3 8K from any blows. There was a dent or two on the retail box inside, but otherwise, there was nothing to be too concerned about.</p> <p><img src="//aphnetworks.com/article_images/reviews/keychron-v3-8k/002.jpg"></p> <p>As for the retail box of the Keychron V3 8K, it has a standard look with a fully black paper sleeve that goes around a black box. The top left has the product name and descriptor of "A TKL Wired Mechanical Keyboard" underneath. The Keychron logo is on the right corner. In the middle, there is a scaled down image of the keyboard along with a large label that specifies the 8KHz polling rate. Underneath, there are notable features, including the online utility to customize the keyboard, support for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and a fast and precise input due to its high polling rate. We also have a label on the bottom right corner to indicate this V3 8K includes Keychron Apex Red linear switches. This is a bit interesting, given Keychron advertises this keyboard with their Super switches on the website rather than the Apex. Otherwise, we can proceed with opening the box.</p> <p>Before we continue, I have grabbed the specifications from the manufacturer's website for your perusal:</p> <p><u>Product Information</u><br> Size: 140.56 x 366.7 mm<br> Front Height: 19.44mm (without keycaps)<br> Back Height: 26.83 mm (without keycaps)<br> Bottom Case Material: Plastic<br> Feet Height: 2 mm<br> Angle: 3.5° / 7.26° / 9.69°<br> Weight: 1005 g ± 10 g<br> Body Material: Plastic<br> Keycap: OSA Double-shot PBT keycaps<br> Plate Material: Steel<br> Switch: Keychron Apex Switch<br> Stabilizer: Screw-in PCB stabilizer<br> Backlight: South-facing RGB LED<br> Battery: N/A<br> Compatible System: macOS/Windows/Linux<br> Operating Environment: -10 to 50℃</p> <p><u>Performance</u><br> Connectivity: Type-C Wired<br> Polling Rate: 8000 Hz<br> N-Key Rollover (NKRO): Yes<br> Wireless Working Time: N/A<br> Hot-swappable: Yes<br> Bluetooth Device Name: N/A</p> <p><img src="//aphnetworks.com/article_images/reviews/keychron-v3-8k/003.jpg"></p> <p>Out of the box, the Keychron V3 8K comes wrapped in a translucent plastic bag that is marked with the product name. Other accessories for the keyboard can be found in the box, including a braided 1.8m USB Type-C to Type-C cable, USB Type-A to Type-C adapter, keycap puller, switch puller, screwdriver, and a hex key. In a separate bag, we also have a few keycaps to swap out depending on if you are using the Mac or Windows layout, which is a handy addition. We also have a few more Keychron Apex Red switches that match with the rest of the ones on the keyboard.</p> <hr><u>Page Index</u><br> 1.

I personally think it is a bit crazy how much anticipation this game already has. Yes, I will acknowledge the fact that GTA carries a very big name being the popular series it is, but realistically what are we actually getting? The GTA formula has always been the same. I assume the gameplay will be the same as all the other entries. The only real update I know for certain is that it will be shinier and prettier. I will admit that the stories in GTA games are actually pretty well done, but are fans really excited about this? I have always played the game just to mess around and be dumb. I am personally more excited for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and I do not care for Nintendo at all. Ocarina of Time is purely out of nostalgia with the fact that it seems like a faithful recreation of my childhood memories. Fire Emblem is a different story, where it is another series that copy-and-pastes its formula for every game it makes. The key difference is that Fire Emblem typically has a specialized mechanic for each game and also tends to have very good stories. Now that being said, will I play GTA 6? I probably will. But while the gaming industry keeps re-releasing the same core experience wrapped in a prettier engine, I am far more interested in hardware that takes a familiar formula and actually evolves it, which brings me to the Epomaker HE65 V2 TMR. The HE65 V2 TMR is a keyboard that utilizes the next evolution of analog switches for keyboards. Will the Epomaker HE65 V2 TMR be worthy of my praise? Keep reading to find out!</p> <p><img src="//aphnetworks.com/article_images/reviews/epomaker-he65-v2-tmr/001.jpg"></p> <p>Our review unit of the Epomaker HE65 V2 TMR came alongside the <a href="//aphnetworks.com/reviews/epomaker-he75-v2-tmr">HE75 V2 TMR</a>, <a href="//aphnetworks.com/reviews/epomaker-th65">TH65</a>, and the <a href="//aphnetworks.com/reviews/epomaker-nex-lite">Nex Lite</a> in tightly wrapped plastic that covered many layers of bubble wrap underneath. The box was shipped to us here in Calgary, Alberta from Shenzhen, China via eMile Express. The shipping process was decent, having a few scuffs and marks on the package. I was not worried about the condition of the product itself, as there was no noticeable damage.</p> <p><img src="//aphnetworks.com/article_images/reviews/epomaker-he65-v2-tmr/002.jpg"></p> <p>The Epomaker HE65 V2 TMR’s box design is relatively modern, using blue, white, and black. The front displays the HE65 V2 TMR on the left side of the box, with Epomaker branding on the top left. You may not have noticed in the picture, but I will point directly to an error on the box. It says "TMR Verison" rather than Version. The bottom displays the product name alongside some features. The side of the box shows some specifications. Personally, I do not mind this, as I appreciate the lack of clutter, and the simple design is easy to navigate.</p> <p>Before we continue, here are the specifications for the Epomaker HE65 V2 TMR, as specified by the manufacturer’s website:</p> <p>Brand: Epomaker<br> Model: HE65 V2 TMR<br> Version: HE65 V2 TMR Magnetic Keyboard<br> Layout: 65% ANSI US Layout<br> Number of Keys: 66 Keys + 1 Knob<br> Battery: 4000mAh Battery<br> Connectivity: 2.4GHz / Bluetooth / Wired<br> Switch Between Mac and WIN: Software/OS Compatibility for Mac and WIN<br> Case Material: ABS Plastic<br> Plate Material: FR4 Plate<br> Flex-Cut: No Flex-Cut<br> Stabilizers: Plate-Mount Stabilizers<br> Mounting Structure: Gasket-Mount<br> Sound Dampening: Sandwich Latex Foam, IXPE Switch Pad, EPDM Bottom Foam, Bottom Silicone<br> Keycap Profile: Cherry Profile<br> Keycaps Material: PC Plastic, Matte Transparent<br> Keycaps Manufacturing Technique: Silk Print<br> Switch: Factory-Lubed Magnetic Switch<br> Hot Swappable: Yes, Magnetic Switches and 3/5-Pin Mechanical Switches<br> RGB: Dynamic RGB, South-Facing LEDs, Per-Key Adjustable RGB, Adjustable RGB Front Light<br> Polling Rate: 8000Hz (USB/2.4GHz), 125Hz (Bluetooth)<br> Scan Rate: 64KHz<br> Latency: 0.125ms (Wired/2.4GHz), 14ms (Bluetooth)<br> Programmable: Yes, EPOMAKER 3.0 Software (EPOMAKER V4)<br> Compatibility: Mac/WIN/Android<br> Adjustable Typing Angle: 6°, 9.5°, and 13.5°<br> Keyboard Dimensions: 32.4cm in Length, 11.7cm in Width, 4.3cm in Height<br> Keyboard Weight: 0.745kg </p> <p><img src="//aphnetworks.com/article_images/reviews/epomaker-he65-v2-tmr/003.jpg"></p> <p>Out of the box, you will receive the Epomaker HE65 V2 TMR keyboard with a cable, keycap/switch puller, extra switches, and a user manual. The keyboard is wrapped in plastic to prevent any surface scratches. I was satisfied when it came to packaging.

Clicks Technology, better known for its keyboard cases and Power Keyboard accessory, released a video on Friday sharing a number of upgrades, feature details and news about the launch.</p> <p>The Clicks Communicator will ship with 12GB of RAM (up from the promised 8GB) and a 4,350-mAh battery (up from 4,000 mAh). Given this year’s trends, it is absolutely wild that the company is adding more RAM while keeping the previously announced preorder price of $499. Google, Motorola, Samsung and, most recently, Apple, have raised prices on most of their phones, including the new iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, citing higher RAM and component costs driven by the increased demand for memory by AI data centers.</p> <p>Clicks Technology announced the keyboard phone at CES in January. The marquee feature is a built-in physical keyboard that is similar to the one found on the company’s keyboard cases. The design was inspired in part by using a Motorola Razr’s cover screen inside a Clicks keyboard case for the phone.
