Why you should buy the Acer Predator Helios

The Acer Predator Helios is a supremely powerful gaming PC that is sure to rival pretty much all the best gaming laptops out there. It uses a 14th-generation Intel Core i9-14900HX processor along with packing 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. If we were being picky, maybe more RAM or storage would have been perfect, but this is still pretty great. Alongside that, there’s a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU which is near impossible to beat (until the 50-series launches).

Adding to the highlights, the Acer Predator Helios also has a huge 18-inch screen. Its display is a WQXGA mini-LED one with a 250Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 1,000 nits of brightness. It means less of a need for one of the best gaming monitors although bear in mind this makes it quite a bulky laptop.

Elsewhere, the convenient features keep coming with the Acer Predator Helios, including Magkey 3.0 keycaps, which provide distinctive tactile feedback as well as a great looking LED glow. There’s also Wi-Fi 7 support, AI-assisted noise reduction for the three microphone setup, and a heap of other adjustments that rival those seen from the best gaming laptop brands. It all comes together to mean you can play the latest games in style, but you can also use this laptop well for content creation or any other demanding tasks while on the move.

Packed with all the things you could want, the Acer Predator Helios is an exceptional gaming laptop at a great discount. Normally priced at $3,000, it’s down to $2,550 for a limited time at Best Buy. Check it out now before the deal ends very soon.

Your favorite Edge extension may stop working soon as Microsoft follows Chrome’s lead
Microsoft has announced the transition to Manifest V3, gradually phasing out older browser extensions.
Microsoft Edge on PC and Mobile Featured

Microsoft Edge is finally making the same controversial move that Google Chrome did earlier this year, and it could mean the end of some of the browser's most popular ad blockers. Microsoft has announced that Edge is officially transitioning its extensions ecosystem to Manifest Version 3 (MV3), Google's newer extension platform that promises better security, privacy, and performance. As part of that shift, the browser will gradually stop supporting older Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions over the coming months, meaning legacy extensions such as the original uBlock Origin will eventually stop working in Edge.

What is Manifest V3, and why is Microsoft adopting it?

Help, I’m talking to my computer. It’s remarkably convenient and utterly embarrassing.
Oh look, I have become the guy who randomly starts talking while staring at his computer.
Person using a laptop.

A decade ago, Google introduced voice typing with the Gboard app on Android, and a year later, the perk landed on iPhones with the keyboard app. I never paid much attention to it. The biggest reason was that it was just not accurate. 

The big promise was a whole new way of interacting with our phones, but it was never good enough to make me quit tapping, or swiping on an on-screen keyboard. Fast forward to 2026, I'm talking to my computer. In fact, this whole article was dictated and copy-pasted in WordPress.
