The 2026 XPS 14 is the best premium laptop we’ve seen from Dell in a while, with incredible build quality in a thin machine and good performance thanks to Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” chips. A bonus: Dell killed its lame “Premium Plus” naming scheme. XPS is so back! I can’t believe how […]
Nvidia’s announcement that it’s getting into the consumer laptop chip space with RTX Spark is huge. Apple has proved for years that Arm-based chips can perform incredibly well while also delivering great battery life – at least on the Mac. In the Windows world, performance hasn’t fully matched up under Qualcomm chips, mostly in the […]
Nvidia has officially entered the world of consumer laptop chips with the RTX Spark, and several device makers already have hardware lined up for it.

Dell is making good on its tease from CES and finally announcing a new XPS 13. The XPS 13 returns as a budget-friendly option, launching in July at a promotional student price of $599 – though that introductory deal only runs until September for back-to-school shopping; it’ll start at $699 for everyone else.

I remember a time when Alienware refused to make a thinner laptop – the company didn’t want to compromise on its builds. But today, Dell is slapping the Alienware name on a piece of hardware that sounds utterly watered down. It’s partly RAMageddon’s fault. The new five-pound Alienware 15 is supposedly an entry-level gaming laptop, […]
Alienware has announced a new budget-friendlier QD-OLED monitor, the AW2726DM. As some of the numbers in the convoluted product name hint, it’s a 27-inch QHD panel, with 2560 x 1440 resolution, HDR support, and a high refresh rate of 240Hz. But what really makes it special is its comparatively low price of $349.99. High-refresh OLED […]
Dell is announcing a new lineup of Pro laptops to go with its recent Precision line relaunch. The new models have rejiggered names: Dell Pro 3, Dell Pro 5, and Dell Pro 7. The Pro 3 and Pro 5 models come in 14- and 16-inch models, while the Pro 7 will come in 13- and […]

On Asus’ latest earnings call, CFO Nick Wu said that the Neo and its aggressive entry-level pricing were […]
CES is always jam-packed with new laptop announcements, acting as a barometer for the year’s upcoming releases. The proofs of concept at the show display what could potentially come further in the future. 2026 will soon bring us new chip options from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm. While I’m excited to see how the latest horse […]
