Logitech Z-3 Speaker Set Review

By Ian Bell February 29, 2004

Quote from the review at 3dXtreme:

“Today 3DXtreme has the great pleasure of reviewing one of the latest products in the Logitech arsenal of PC speakers, the Z-3. A computer system without speakers just seems like a suit without a tie, you could make due without them, but it would certainly work better with them and your computer will look like it was meant to have them. Choosing a set of speakers can be difficult task nowadays with the variety of offerings the needs of the user in mind. A lot of computers, if not all, now have soundcards that are capable of outputting sound to 5.1 and 6.1 speaker setups. But is it necessary to have this?

The FLAC file format is a great way to capture the sonic breadth and power of your sprawling CD collection. If you want your digital tunes to sound just as immersive as they do on the album, FLAC allows tracks to be transcoded in a lossless format. But not all devices are compatible with the FLAC format.

Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world where there’s only one file format for every byte of audio-video content?

Podcasts, audiobooks, and songs are some of the most common types of M4A files.

Windows 11 tips and tricks: 8 hidden settings you need to try

Windows 11 on a tablet.

Windows 11 has been around for quite a while now. The operating system isn't as new as when it first came out in 2021, but many people are still updating it for the first time from Windows 10. Yet whether you're new to Windows 11 or have been using it since launch, there are a few things that you still might want to tweak to get a better experience. Microsoft doesn't have all these settings upfront, but we're here to surface them for you.
Move the Taskbar and Start Menu to the left

One of the biggest differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is the location of the Taskbar and Start Menu. On Windows 10, the Taskbar and Start Menu are positioned to the left of the screen. Windows 11, though, changes that by moving both to the center. If this annoys you, then you can easily change it back.
