Logitech Intros Clip-and-Go Notebook Mouse

If you’ve ever gotten frustrated with the pointed devices built into typical notebook computers (and, really, who hasn’t?), you may have given into the temptation to buy a separate cordless mouse. Sounds like a good idea, and it’s usually rewarded with an hour or so of mousing bliss. But then you pick up your notebook and move to a new table, desk, or counter…and you’re back to the built-in pointing device, with your cordless mouse nowhere to be found.

Peripheral and accessories maker Logitech wants to solve that problem with its new V550 Nano cordless laser mouse for notebooks. The V5500 is a pretty-standard cordless mouse, featuring a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver that snugs into an available USB port. The V550 also promises up to 18 months of use off two AA batteries. However, to ensure the V550 stays with you, it ships with two Clip-and-Go docks: one silver, and one black. Just attach the dock point to your notebook (they’re removable later if you want) and snap the mouse to it when you’re ready to go. That way, your mouse stays with you as you move from place to place, and you don’t have to waste an extra hand (or pocket) to carry it around.

The V550 Nano cordless laser mouse for notebooks works with Windows PC and Macs, and will be available later this month for $59.99

It’s time to stop believing these PC building myths

Hyte's Thicc Q60 all-in-one liquid cooler.

As far as hobbies go, PC hardware is neither the cheapest nor the easiest one to get into. That's precisely why you may often run into various misconceptions and myths.

These myths have been circulating for so long now that many accept them as a universal truth, even though they're anything but. Below, I'll walk you through some PC beliefs that have been debunked over and over, and, yet, are still prevalent.
Liquid cooling is high-maintenance (and scary)

AMD’s next-gen CPUs are much closer than we thought

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D held between fingertips.

We already knew that AMD would launch its Zen 5 CPUs this year, but recent motherboard updates hint that a release is imminent. Both MSI and Asus have released updates for their 600-series motherboards that explicitly add support for "next-generation AMD Ryzen processors," setting the stage for AMD's next-gen CPUs.

This saga started a few days ago when hardware leaker 9550pro spotted an MSI BIOS update, which they shared on X (formerly Twitter). Since then, Asus has followed suit with BIOS updates of its own featuring a new AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture (AGESA) -- the firmware responsible for starting the CPU -- that brings support for next-gen CPUs (spotted by VideoCardz).

AMD Zen 5: Everything we know about AMD’s next-gen CPUs

The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G APU installed in a motherboard.

AMD Zen 5 is the next-generation Ryzen CPU architecture for Team Red and is slated for a launch sometime in 2024. We've been hearing tantalizing rumors for a while now and promises of big leaps in performance. In short, Zen 5 could be very exciting indeed.

We don't have all the details, but what we're hearing is very promising. Here's what we know about Zen 5 so far.
Zen 5 release date and availability
AMD confirmed in January 2024 that it was on track to launch Zen 5 sometime in the "second half of the year." Considering the launch of Zen 4 was in September 2022, we would expect to see Zen 5 desktop processors debut around the same timeframe, possibly with an announcement in the summer at Computex.
