Modular PC maker Framework is hosting a “Next Gen” event on April 21st at 1:30PM ET, and it looks like it might have something to do with Linux. Alongside a newsletter announcing the event, Framework posted a video on Thursday titled “Follow the white penguin.” It features a few clear references to Linux, including the […]
It’s tough to find decent gaming laptops under $1,000. However, Best Buy has what I consider to be a good entry-level model for 1080p gaming in Lenovo’s 15.6-inch LOQ laptop, which is selling for $649.99 (usually $959.99) through today, April 9th. Even with its Nvidia’s RTX 4050 (its lowest-tier GPU of the series), the laptop […]
I thought the WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD in my gaming PC was pricey when I bought it for $173 in 2024, but now that same SSD costs $649, more than what I paid for most of the parts in my PC combined. The price on my WD Black drive nearly quadrupled since November 2025, […]
I’ve spent months in the lab testing the latest AR glasses from Xreal and Viture. By “lab,” I mean cozied up on my couch each night, playing my Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch 2 on a huge, virtual screen that only I can see through these glasses. Using AR glasses as a portable display for […]
Remember when we thought the Legion Go 2 was expensive at $1,099 and up? Those were the days – Best Buy is now listing Lenovo’s handheld for $1,499 with a Ryzen Z2 or $1,999 with a Z2 Extreme. The latter originally cost $1,349, so that’s a $650 jump in just six months. And yes, that […]

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless came out almost four years ago, yet it’s still one of the best gaming headsets you can buy. Turns out, it’s not easy for other companies to duplicate all that SteelSeries got right with this one — mixing multiple audio sources, active noise cancellation, a retractable mic, hot-swappable batteries, […]
Razer is giving its Blade 16 gaming laptop a speed and battery boost for 2026. The high-end gaming laptop keeps the same thin chassis and RTX 50-series GPU options as last year’s model, but it’s now making the switch from AMD to an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H “Panther Lake” chip, and corresponding faster RAM. […]
Keychron makes some of the best mechanical keyboards available, whether you’re something of an enthusiast who intends to hotswap switches or someone who doesn’t want to pay a lot to get a well-built clickity, clackity board. Thankfully, Keychron, Walmart, and Amazon are all discounting a swath of Keychron keyboards through March 31st as part of […]
Ayaneo is suspending preorders for its $1,999 Next 2 gaming handheld due to the skyrocketing price of digital storage. In a post on Monday, Ayaneo says the overall cost to build its Windows handheld now nearly doubles the price it originally set, making it “unsustainable” to continue selling. “Even before the launch of NEXT 2, […]
