I keep accidentally ruining regular things for myself. I already can’t use a standard keyboard layout, and now I think I have to buy a really nice monitor. I’ve spent the last few months living with the Alienware AW2725Q, a 27-inch gaming monitor with a 240Hz 4K resolution QD-OLED panel. It’s one of a spate […]
Genki just launched a new Kickstarter campaign for the Covert Dock 3, its latest compact power adapter with foldable prongs that can double as a TV dock for Switch 2, a Steam Deck, and other handhelds. In terms of what’s new, it features an HDMI 2.1 port that’s capable of displaying up to 4K at […]
Remedy Entertainment is one of the few game studios that’s seemingly been doing well in an industry where its competition is downsizing and console makers are continually raising hardware prices.

In the future, Intel will make CPUs with Nvidia graphics inside — among other things, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed today that Nvidia will contribute “GPU chiplets” that Intel can place alongside its x86 CPU cores instead of the Arc integrated graphics it develops in-house today. But, at least for now, Intel says that doesn’t […]
Corsair wasn’t joking around when it named the new $99.99 Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight Wireless gaming mouse. At 36 grams, it weighs just a bit more than seven US nickels. Is that too light? Maybe. Most of Corsair’s competitors haven’t shipped a mouse much below 50 grams (Sony’s new Inzone mouse is 48 grams). I […]

Windows 10 is the only 32-bit version of Windows […]
Nvidia is throwing Intel a $5 billion life raft, just weeks after similar stakes from the US government and SoftBank. Nvidia is investing $5 billion in Intel common stock in a collaboration that will see the pair “jointly develop multiple generations of custom data center and PC products.” Nvidia says Intel will help build “x86 […]
