For those of you who follow display technologies, you know that OLED is basically the gold standard for overall image quality, and that will probably remain the case until micro LED (not to be confused with mini LED) breaks into the mainstream. Supposing you’re ready to bite the bullet on an OLED upgrade, now is a fantastic time to shop around, as one of the most popular and widely touted options is on sale for

I come from a generation where hulking computer cases were a serious flex—it suggested some seriously powerful hardware resided inside. They still can be a flex, but there’s been a definite shift (generally speaking) towards more compact systems. Well, it doesn’t get a whole lot more compact than a mini PC (PC sticks being the exception), and if that’s what you’re after, you can find several models on sale right now. One of them is

Intel kicked off the Arrow Lake party with a mix of “K” (unlocked multiplier) and “KF” (unlocked multiplier + disabled onboard graphics) models, and namely the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and 265KF, and Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF. Eventually we will seen non-K models make a debut, evidence of which can be found in another Geekbench leak for a purported Core Ultra 9 285. Bearing in mind that nothing is

I’m dating myself as an old fart, but back in my day (don’t you just love that phrase?), you bought a game cartridge from KB Toys or Sears, went home and popped it into your Atari 2600 console, and started gaming. And yes, the graphics, sound effects, and controls were all crude and rudimentary by today’s standards, but being able to hold a cartridge meant you essentially owned the game (even if not technically true).

In case you’re not aware, Intel this week officially launched its Core Ultra 200S processor series, otherwise known as Arrow Lake, which bring some exciting design tweaks and big performance and power efficiency claims to the desktop. As is always the case, OEMs and other hardware partners are quick to pounce with supplementary announcements of their own. That includes HP, which is rolling out an upgraded Omen 35L gaming desk in a new and stunning

Hear that wheezing sound? It’s your crusty old gaming mouse that desperately wants to go into retirement, and while you’re at it, why not shop for a new gaming keyboard as well? Now is a good time to beef up your arsenal of peripherals because Amazon’s ‘Prime Big Deal’ sales event is live with some nifty discounts to level up your gaming gear. One that stands out is Logitech’s G502 X mouse in wired form,

MediaTek is expected to officially lift the wraps on a new flagship system-on-chip (SoC) next week, and specifically the Dimensity 9400, which will supplant the Dimensity 9300+ as the company’s top mobile chip. Ahead of the anticipated launch, a user on Weibo, a massive social media site in China, posted a handful of purported specifications. Assuming the information is accurate (and always take these things with a healthy pinch of salt, of course), the Dimensity

We’ve seen a whole bunch of vintage Apple products command massive money in the auction scene over the years, like when an ultra-rare Apple-1 prototype that was hand-soldered by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak himself sold for a staggering $677,196. Collectors pay big money for Apple collectables. So hopes the owner of an Apple Macintosh prototype with a 5.25-inch “Twiggy” floppy drive that was used to develop demonstration software way back in the day. The old

One thing I’ve gotten in the habit of doing during my daily perusals of the web is to hunt for deals, including whatever happens to be Best Buy’s advertised ‘Deal of the Day’ promotion. These can be hit or miss, though if you’re in the market for a secondary laptop to use as a beater—or a gift for mom and pop to knock around the web—today’s bargain is worth looking at. The Deal of the

Samsung recently unveiled a few new hardware devices, one of which includes the Galaxy S24 Fan Edition (FE), which is now official and available to preorder in several colorways—graphite, gray, blue, and mint (light green). Additionally, Samsung announced some bonus offers for those who decide to pounce on a preorder ahead of the handset’s release tomorrow. We’ll get to to the offers in a moment, but first let’s recap the key specs. The Galaxy S24
