Dell-owned Alienware is looking to reach a wider swath of gamers, announcing at CES 2026 that it’s working on two new laptops: one with a lower, entry-level price and one with an ultra-slim chassis. There aren’t many details right now, as Alienware is only sharing some basic renders, and the behind-glass nonworking prototypes I saw […]
The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo is back, but for CES 2026 both its screens are going full edge-to-edge – like a Zenbook Duo built for gaming. The original Zephyrus Duo was a quirky keyboard-in-the-front-club member, with a 15.6-inch main display and a 14.1-inch-wide, skinny touchscreen crammed between the hinge and side-by-side keyboard and trackpad. The […]
Asus is no stranger to odd yet badass limited editions of its one-of-a-kind gaming tablet, and for CES 2026 it’s collaborating with Kojima Productions on the best-looking one yet.

The Origins […]
HP’s branding is missing on its new gaming laptops (and gaming monitors) announced at CES 2026 – HP-owned HyperX has gotten a big promotion in its place. This swap is the biggest aesthetic change in the Omen lineup (the logo is on the lid and on the screen’s bottom bezel). In other words, not much […]
From laptops to monitors, HyperX is the brand you’ll see on much of HP’s new gaming-focused products launched at CES 2026. And despite the branding switch, this year’s slate of monitors might be the company’s most competitive batch yet. The cheapest of the three QD-OLEDs announced is the HyperX Omen OLED 27q, a 27-inch 1440p […]
Valve has announced the winners of the 2025 Steam Awards and, unsurprisingly, Hollow Knight: Silksong, took home the Game of the Year honors. It was also given the “Best Game You Suck At” award, which, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Given the relentless fawning over Silksong since its release in […]
