If you want to upgrade your gaming machine but you don’t need the portability from gaming laptop deals, then you should be looking at gaming PC deals. While you’ll also need to buy from gaming monitor deals for the complete experience, there are discounts that you can take advantage of so that your total investment will fit your budget. For example, Dell is currently selling the Alienware Aurora R12 Gaming Desktop at $600 off, which brings its price down to $1,400 from its original price of $2,000.

You’ll have that advantage with the Alienware Aurora R12 Gaming Desktop, which is powered by the 11th-generation Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. It also comes with 16GB of RAM, which is a good baseline for modern gaming systems, according to Digital Trends’ guide on how to buy a gaming desktop. The gaming PC also features a 1TB SSD, which should provide enough storage to install multiple games at a time with all their necessary updates.

The Alienware Aurora R12 Gaming Desktop runs on Windows 11 Home out of the box, so you can start installing or downloading games as soon as you set it up. The gaming PC features a thermal design that includes four 10mm copper heat pipes with integrated vapor chambers, while the Legend industrial design ensures fluid and efficient airflow, so even if you don’t realize that you’ve been playing for hours, the machine will still be working at peak performance with no chance of overheating.

I found five mechanical keyboards I’d happily recommend for Back-to-School

The right mechanical keyboard makes every assignment, game, and study session feel a little more satisfying.

Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Shopping for a mechanical keyboard is a little different from shopping for a laptop. Unlike flashy specs or benchmark numbers, the right keyboard is something that gets appreciated every single day. Whether it’s taking notes in class, writing essays, coding late into the night, or unwinding with a few games after lectures. After looking through dozens of options, I kept coming back to these five. They cover everything from budget-friendly beginner boards to enthusiast-grade keyboards and esports-focused gaming options. More importantly, they’re keyboards I’d actually recommend buying for the Back-to-School season.

HP fined millions of dollars for acting like a cartel over ink and PCs

HP helped rig bids for ink and computers. The bill is nearly $15 million

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

If you've ever purchased printer ink, you're aware of the annoyingly expensive cost behind something that seems so basic. But HP's latest problem goes considerably further. India’s Competition Commission has fined HP India and 21 of its resellers a combined 1.42 billion rupees, or roughly $15 million, after finding that they rigged bids for government contracts involving personal computers, toner, cartridges, and other printer supplies. The orders cover tenders placed through the Government e-Marketplace between 2017 and 2020.

Sega’s Virtua Fighter Crossroads is coming to Nvidia’s wild new RTX Spark PCs

Virtua Fighter Crossroads will help showcase gaming on Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform has landed one of its first major games. Sega has confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will run on RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs when the game arrives in 2027. More Sega titles are also heading to the platform, although neither company has named them yet.

The announcement also marks more than 30 years of collaboration between Nvidia and Sega, a relationship that began when Nvidia’s NV1 graphics chip helped bring the original Virtua Fighter to PC. Sega later helped keep the young chipmaker alive by turning a $5 million payment into an investment when Nvidia was close to running out of money.
