For those who take their gaming seriously, a quality headset can make all the difference when it comes to immersion and competitiveness. Along with allowing you to fully enjoy music and sound effects, a good headset enables you to communicate more effectively with your teammates during those down-to-the-wire multiplayer matches. The highly-rated Buy Now , currently on sale for $54, is one such model that would make a welcome addition to any hardcore gamer’s battle station.

Razer Kraken 7.1 gaming headsetAs a very popular and well-known manufacturer of gaming peripherals, Razer needs no introduction. The firm’s keyboards, mice, and headsets remain staples in the gaming community and the Razer Kraken 7.1 gaming headset is a standout member of this stable. The Kraken utilizes two 40mm drivers which utilize virtual surround-sound technology for detailed multi-direction audio and increased situational awareness when you’re immersed in your game. The attached digital microphone offers crisp voice input and retracts into the headset so it’s out of your way when not in use.

The last thing you want to worry about during a long gaming session is sore ears, and the Kraken’s padded headband and cushioned earcups keep you comfortable for periods of extended use. Razer’s own Synapse software allows the user to create custom pre-sets for specific games and for other audio applications, and the Chroma model features color-changing LED logos on the earcups for a customizable look.

The Buy Now  has earned a solid 4-star rating from over 1,000 customer reviews and retails for $100. For a limited time, Buy Now  — a generous 46-percent discount off of the original price. If you’ve been hunting around for a quality gaming headset or have had your eye on one of Razer’s offerings, then now is a great time to grab one while the getting’s good.

The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.
