Why you should buy the Dell G16 gaming laptop

In the past, we called the G-series range the best Dell gaming laptop you can buy, and while our hands-on model had different hardware, the general principle remains the same. After all, the best gaming laptops can cost a lot, but this balances things out well by offering Alienware-inspired features at Dell prices.

This particular Dell G16 has a 13th-generation Intel Core i9-13900HX processor along with a massive 32GB of memory and 1TB of SSD storage. For the graphics card, there’s an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 with 8GB of dedicated VRAM, which goes alongside the 16-inch QHD+ screen with 2560 x 1600 resolution. The screen also has a 240Hz refresh rate along with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and 3ms response time, so it’s pretty special. When we looked at the retro style charms of the Dell G-Series of gaming laptops, this came out as one of the more high-end examples of the range.

Adding to reasons why this competes with the best gaming laptop brands, the Dell G16 also has a sweet looking RGB backlit mechanical keyboard that will feel great to use. It promises up to six hours of battery life, which isn’t bad for the price, and little details like an advanced thermal design, large touchpad, and cool looking Aluminum design are added bonuses.

If all that sounds like a gaming laptop you want to own, you can buy the Dell G16 for $400 off right now. Normally $1,950, it’s down to $1,550 for a limited time only. Check it out now before the deal ends very soon.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100
This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
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)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance

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.
