What to shop for in the Alienware 4th of July sale

We start with deals on the m16 gaming laptop and m18 gaming laptop . These two laptops have very similar constructions (the m16 has a 16-inch screen while the m18 has an 18-inch screen) and are both highly customizable, so it can be difficult to directly compare the two. The most prominent changes for the m18 over the m16 is it has a full keyboard with numpad, the ability to upgrade that keyboard to Alienware CherryMX mechanical style, and the capacity to upgrade all the way to an RTX 4090 (the m16’s max is a 4070). Check out our Alienware m16 review to get an idea of how it functions.

Next, we want to zero in on the Alienware x14 laptop's deal and the Alienware x16 laptop's deal . As with the previous pair of laptops, these two laptops are quite similar and it is the bigger one that gets the 4090 and the mechanical keyboard variant options. Both of the ‘x’ series laptops are tenkeyless. Our comparison of the m16 and x16 will give you a good idea at how the two series compare.

Finally, check out the deal on the Aurora R16 , Alienware’s high-powered, RTX 4060 equipped desktop. In addition to the 4060, it has an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Even if you are skeptical of prebuilt desktops, as many gamers are, you should check out our Alienware Aurora R16 review, which labels it as a “prebuilt worth buying.” It is also surprisingly nice to look at, for a desktop PC and all.

Of course, these are just our suggestions for what to look at. The full Alienware 4th of July PC and laptop sale is yours to peruse. Just tap the button below to start shopping for your ideal machine.

I let Radial menu take over my Mac, and I’m never going back
One mouse jiggle, endless shortcuts. My Mac has never felt this fast.
Radial app running on Mac

I have been testing Radial for the past week, and it's quickly become one of those apps I didn’t know how I could live without. It's a radial menu for macOS that puts your shortcuts, scripts, and automations right where your cursor is, so you never have to go hunting through menus to find what you need.

The app just received its 5.0 update, adding AI actions powered by Claude, window layouts, variables, a redesigned settings interface, a new Atmosphere background effect, and a squircle menu shape. I got to try most of these, and here's what I found.

Android desktop mode made me miss my laptop in record time
I tried writing and publishing from Google’s phone-to-monitor setup, and the future of mobile computing immediately started sweating.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Android 17 desktop mode has a very simple pitch. Plug your phone into a monitor, add a keyboard and mouse, and watch the slab in your pocket pretend to be a computer. I wanted to give that pitch a fair shot, so I tried using it for an actual workday instead of a cute demo.

The goal was boring on purpose: write an article, edit it, build the page in WordPress, upload whatever needed uploading, and publish the thing without running back to my laptop like a coward.

As AI turbocharges digital abuse, UK agencies urge parents to limit who sees kids’ photos online
The National Crime Agency and Internet Watch Foundation are asking parents to tighten privacy settings as AI-generated abuse material rises.
Social Media

Parents who post pictures of their kids online are being told to rethink the habit. The UK's National Crime Agency and the Internet Watch Foundation have issued new guidance urging families to lock down their social media accounts, warning that publicly shared photos are increasingly being pulled and altered by AI tools to create child sexual abuse material.

The two organizations say most parents have no idea this is happening. Criminals no longer need to contact a child directly to generate such material. They can scrape an ordinary photo and run it through widely available nudify apps.
