The leaks and rumor scene is beginning to paint a more fuller picture of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, the launch of which is reportedly delayed until the middle of next month. It’s one of two mainstream RTX 5060 series cards are expected in the coming weeks, and one three SKUs, with the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti coming in both 8GB and 16GB VRAM variants. This is the same strategy that NVIDIA

Remember when buying an OLED TV came with the kind of sticker shock that would have you contemplating a second mortgage? Thankfully, OLED displays are far more affordable these days. They’re still generally pricier than traditional LCD or even mini LED TVs, but we’ve reached a point where you score a big screen OLED for under a grand if you catch it on sale. Case in point, Samsung’s 65-inch S85D OLED TV is discounted to

We made the trek out to HP Amplify this week (as well as NVIDIA’s GTC conference), and while there, we got to to go hands-on with a beastly laptop configuration that is available to preorder. It’s the HP Omen Max 16, and as configured it pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor based on Arrow Lake-HX with a mobile GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. In case you missed it, Intel unveiled several Arrow Lake-HX processors

Following the launch of Blackwell-based GPUs in the consumer space for gaming, NVIDIA today expanded the reach of its latest-generation GPU architecture into various professional solutions for workstations, servers, and laptops, all of which fall under the RTX Pro Blackwell umbrella. In total, we’re looking at a dozen new SKUs to turbocharge AI workloads, 3D designs, complex simulations, and other tasks. “Software developers, data scientists, artists, designers and engineers need powerful AI and graphics performance

It’s been a month since we highlighted a bunch of deals on Google’s Pixel 9 family, including what qualified (at the time) as the lowest price ever for the Pixel 9 Pro. Well, it’s even cheaper now with a fresh batch of discounts, but that’s not the only Pixel 9 model to hit a new low. Same goes for the Pixel 9 Pro XL, which we included in our round of the top five smartphones

A leaker on X (formerly Twitter) claims Valve is getting release a version of SteamOS for desktop systems, which if true would effectively extend the Linux-based platform’s reach beyond the realm of gaming handhelds. The rumor surfaced just before Valve released its SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview build with some key tweaks to the operating system’s Desktop mode. It’s possible the leaker, @SadlyItsBradley, is conflating the two, though it doesn’t sound like it. In the same X

It’s fair to say that Apple’s products are not known for being super-friendly to DIY (do-it-yourself) repairs, though not without the occasional surprise, such as the iPhone 16 that scored 7/10 by the folks at iFixIt. What about Apple’s newly minted M4 MacBook Air? A fresh teardown reveals it’s largely more of the same, though there is a “surprising bright spot.” More on that in a moment. In case you missed it, last week Apple

When it comes to the mini PC form factor, these convenient little boxes typically pack some impressive hardware (these days), with the only requirement that you need to add your own external peripherals (unless it’s a barebones, which means you may need to add RAM and storage too), including a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Well, Aoostar’s new G-Flip 370 potentially eliminates one of those necessities, so long as you can make do with a 5-inch

The influx of gaming monitors sporting quantum dot organic light emitting-diode (QD-OLED) panels continues with the launch of Gigabyte’s Aorus MO27U2, a 27-inch display with a respectable specs sheet. It may not necessarily rise to the “groundbreaking” status that Gigabyte pitches in its press release (more on that in a bit), but depending on how pricing shakes out, this could be an intriguing option. We’ll have to wait a bit to find out, though hopefully

I’m dating myself with this reference, but for anyone who gives a hoot, one thing I learned a long time ago from a cartoon owl is that it takes three licks to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop. Here’s another sweet fact: you should be able to install and uninstall your graphics card way more than three times without damaging the contacts. How many more, though? The insinuated answer by Gigabyte’s
