Make sure to take a look at our full review of the Acer Aspire S5.

While 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) doesn’t officially kick off until tomorrow, that hasn’t stopped Acer from unveiling the world’s thinnest Ultrabook with the Acer Aspire S5.

The ultra-thin laptop from Acer measures in at only 15mm at its thickest point and weighs in at a measly 1.35kg (less than 3 lbs). It features a 13.3-inch LCD screen and in keeping in line with the Ultrabook specs imposed by Intel, the S5 will also feature the unique Acer Green Instant On technology giving it fast boot and resume times, as well as Acer’s Always Connect software, which gives users the ability to manage all their multimedia and data, on all their devices, from any location.

A Redditor ‘didn’t know’ about the Steam Deck, so they built their own
The homemade Ryzen Deck sitting on a desk.

It's hard to imagine that anyone interested in portable gaming hasn't heard of the Steam Deck, but one Redditor says they "didn't know" it existed. And because of that, they decided to build their own.

The 3D-printed contraption comes from Raven0606, who shared images of the completed handheld on the r/SBCGaming subreddit, which is dedicated to handheld emulators. The build took nine months to complete, and Raven0606 dubbed it the Ryzen Deck in honor of the Steam Deck (they found out about Valve's handheld halfway through the build process).

Razer made the best gaming mouse even better
The Razer Viper V3 Pro sitting among its accessories.

The Razer Viper has been one of the best gaming mice you can buy since its inception, and last year's Viper V3 was no exception. Just a few months after introducing the mouse, Razer is taking another swing at the design with the Viper V3 Pro. It promises the same excellent shape, high-performance sensor, and esports-level accuracy, but with a slew of additional features that build on the original design.

I've been testing out the Viper V3 Pro for a few days now. There are enough changes here to warrant a new entry into Razer's growing lineup of competitive gaming mice, and they not only make the mouse more performant, but also more comfortable to use. The $160 price tag is tough to stomach considering Razer's mainstream focus with the original Viper V3. But if you have the cash to spare, this Pro update is worth every penny.
