TOP 5 American electronics brands

HP Victus 16 (model code 826X6EA) is a gaming laptop from one of the oldest personal computer manufacturers in the United States and the world. With a large diagonal of 16 inches and a capacious 70 Wh battery, it weighs a moderate 2.46 kilograms and the thickness does not exceed 24 millimeters. The screen matrix is bright and contrasting IPS, and the refresh rate is an increased eSports 144 Hz.

Built on an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor with six physical Zen 3+ cores and twelve SMT virtual threads. There is a respectable 16 GB of RAM installed, and this is already progressive DDR5. The video card uses a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti with Ray-Tracing and smart DLSS upscaling. And the solid-state drive is represented by a high-speed M.2 MVMe of 1 TB.

The dual-fan cooling system effectively removes heat. You can adjust the speed, as well as experiment with overclocking the processor and video card, using the proprietary HP OMEN Gaming Hub application. The laptop keyboard is equipped with a white backlight for working in low-light conditions. And Internet connections are represented by gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6 AX.

Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 (model code PVV532G700C32K) is a ready-made RAM kit with a total capacity of 32 GB. Produced by the American company Patriot Memory. Includes two DDR5 modules with automatic Intel XMP overclocking to 7000 MHz with CL32 timings. There are also two backup XMP profiles: 6800 MHz and 6600 MHz, both CL34.

But the competing AMD EXPO auto-overclocking technology is supported only up to 6000 MHz. Owners of Ryzen 7000 processors will have to set the higher memory frequency manually, which, however, is not difficult. After all, the PMIC power controller is completely unlocked to simplify overclocking experiments. There is also an ECC error correction chip.

Viper Venom is made from hand-selected and tested RAM chips, which, in fact, ensures such a high frequency. Cooled by thick-walled aluminum radiators with the Viper snake logo, but without backlighting for those who love the classics. However, the Viper Venom series also includes RGB models with even higher frequencies up to 7400 MHz.

AZZA PSAZ-1000P is a fully modular power supply with a power supply of one kilowatt, originally from sunny California. The new power supply standard called ATX 3.0 implies the presence of a reinforced 16-pin video card power cable, in addition to the classic 6+2-pin ones. This connector is officially called +12VHPWR and is capable of delivering up to 600 W of electricity.

Taking into account the additional power from the PCI-Express x16 slot, this is enough even for the flagship graphics cards NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 and the upcoming 5000 series. The index P in the name of the power supply model means 80 PLUS platinum energy efficiency certificate. That is, the efficiency when operating in European power grids of 230 V can reach 94 percent.

The circuit design of the AZZA PSAZ-1000P is progressive full-bridge with LLC digital control and separate DC-DC stabilization. The cooling system is semi-passive: a 12-centimeter fan with a hydraulic bearing completely stops at low load on the power supply unit. Implemented protection against short circuits, power surges, overload and overheating.

Solidigm P41 Plus is an SSD from a young American startup founded by former Intel and Hynix engineers. Made in the modern M.2 NVMe format and runs on the fast PCI-Express 4.0 bus. Thanks to this, the SSD is compatible not only with desktop computers, but also with the PlayStation 5 game console, which requires PCIe version 4.

And moderate heating makes Solidigm P41 Plus a good choice for laptops, including thin ultrabooks. Low heat dissipation is achieved using the Silicon Motion SM2269XT controller, which is manufactured using the energy-efficient TSMC 12 nanometer process technology. And the XT index means there is no need for a separate operational buffer chip.

Instead, the SSD uses part of the system-wide RAM using Host Memory Buffer technology, which increases performance and at the same time reduces cost. The sequential reading and writing speed of large files for the 2-terabyte version of Solidigm P41 Plus can reach 4125 and 3325 MB/s, respectively. And small files are processed at speeds of up to 540 thousand IOPS (input/output operations per second).

JLab Studio Pro Wireless is an on-ear stereo headset with Bluetooth connectivity from an American audio brand. Based on neodymium speakers with a large diameter of 40 mm with a wide frequency range of 20 - 20000 Hz. The built-in battery lasts up to 50 hours of music listening. Eco-leather ear pads are tactilely pleasant, easy to clean and do not wear out for a long time.

Inside, the ear pads are filled with Cloud Foam memory foam, which adapts to the anatomy of each user. The size of the headband is also adjustable, which can be folded into three for transportation. At the same time, the headphones take up minimal space in a backpack or handbag, and the weight is only 141 g.

A microphone and mechanical control buttons are built into one of the earcups. They can adjust the music volume and pick up the handset when there is an incoming phone call. And without having to install an app on your smartphone, you can switch between three JLab EQ3 equalizer profiles: Signature, Balanced or Bass Boost. The Bluetooth 5.0 protocol provides reliable radio communication at a distance of up to 10 meters.
