Why you should buy the Dell G16 gaming laptop

The Dell G16 gaming laptop has excellent hardware for the price. It has a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-13650HX processor, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of SSD storage. Crucially, for gaming purposes, there’s also an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, which is perfect for gaming on the move. Granted, spec wise, it doesn’t compete with the very best gaming laptops, but it’s far more affordable than anything on that list, as they can run into the thousands.

One standout feature of the G16 is its display. It has a 16-inch QHD+ screen with 2560 x 1600 resolution, 100% DCI-P3, 3ms response time, 240Hz refresh rate, and Nvidia G-Sync and DDS support. That means you get a silky smooth image whatever you’re playing with no risk of motion blur and also rich colors at all times. An Alienware-inspired thermal design with four heat pipes and improved fans all mean that overheating won’t be an issue here, no matter how hard you’re gaming.

Adding to the experience with some neat attention to detail that you’d normally see from the best gaming laptop brands, the Dell G16 gaming laptop also has a Cherry MX RGB backlit mechanical keyboard with G-Key, which means it looks and feels great to use. It has up to six hours of battery life — weak for a regular laptop but pretty good for a gaming laptop.

Ordinarily, the Dell G16 gaming laptop costs $1,300. Today, you can buy it from Dell for $950 so you’re saving $350 off the regular price. Well-suited for anyone looking in this price range, take a look at it for yourself by tapping the buy button before you miss out on the discount.

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.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. 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.

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI.
