Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop

As our Alienware Aurora R16 review explains, we love this gaming PC. It is “cool and quiet during operation” while also being “much smaller than previous versions.” It’s an ideal PC for playing games in 1440p, so make sure to scoop up one of the best gaming monitors with 1440p support.

This model has a 14th-generation Intel Core i7-14700F CPU along with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. 2TB of SSD storage is important. I’m an avid PC gamer, and 2TB feels increasingly like the minimum I truly feel comfortable with, as I like to have many games installed at once. For the graphics card, there’s an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Super GPU with 12GB of dedicated VRAM, so it’s great for playing games in style for a while to come.

The best gaming PCs also need to be future thinking, and that’s the case here. The Alienware Aurora R16 may have a small case, but it’s surprisingly spacious thanks to its good cable management. You can easily open it up to upgrade components without the need for any complicated tools.

On the software side of things, the Alienware Aurora R16 has Alienware Command Center controlling everything, so you can adjust its RGB lighting easily but also overclock certain components if that appeals to you. It lets you be in control of what happens without being overwhelmed. Little details like front ports add to how well the Alienware Aurora R16 is designed.

The Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC normally costs $2,210. Right now it’s enjoying a hefty discount of $410 at Dell thanks to the company clearing its stock of GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs ahead of the launch of the RTX 50-series. Going for slightly older tech means far better value for money, so it’s down to $1,800. Take a look for yourself before the deal ends soon.

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.

ChatGPT's desktop app is getting a much-needed course correction. When OpenAI merged Chat, Work, and Codex into one unified desktop app roughly a week ago, the experience came with more issues than intended, burying basic features like chat history and making it awkward to switch between modes. Now OpenAI has rolled out a batch of fixes based on feedback to make the app feel consistent regardless of which device you use.

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.
