It’s been several weeks since Dell included the powerful Alienware Aurora R16 in its gaming PC deals, but the wait ends here. This configuration featuring the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card usually sells for $4,000, but it’s on sale with a $400 discount that lowers its price to $3,600. You’re still looking at a fairly significant investment, but if you want a premium PC gaming experience, it will be worth every single penny. You need to be quick with your purchase though, as this chance at savings may disappear again very soon.

Alienware is Dell’s gaming-focused brand, and it goes pretty hard with the Alienware Aurora R16, which we gave a score of 4 stars out of 5 stars in our review. It also earned the top spot in our list of the best gaming PCs, and with this configuration featuring the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, it’s easy to see why.

The Alienware Aurora R16 ships with a 2TB SSD, which provides plenty of storage space for your favorite titles with all their required updates and optional add-on content, and since it comes with Windows 11 Home out of the box, you can start installing video games right after setting it up with the necessary peripherals. The gaming PC also comes with a liquid-cooling system, so you won’t have to worry about any overheating if you play for longer than usual.

Dell just slashed the price of the Alienware Aurora R16 with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card by $400, bringing it down from $4,000 to $3,600. It’s still expensive, but if you were willing to spend big on a gaming PC, you might as well enjoy the savings as you can use them towards monitor deals or to buy more video games.

Microsoft is finally fixing the worst thing about Windows Search, but you can’t try it just yet
Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel are getting a Search experience that finally feels less of a billboard and more of what users actually need.
Page, Text, Person

Windows Search has been a mess for years, and I do not use that word lightly. Open it to find a file, and you get trending Bing topics, Microsoft Store promotions, and an AI tools tile that just opens a browser. 

That is changing, but not immediately for all users. Microsoft is rolling out a batch of Windows Search improvements to Insiders in the Experimental channel, and for once, this isn't just a fresh coat of paint.

Apple doesn’t want to share this AirPods feature with Meta, but the EU may force its hand
Spring 2027, EU only, built under DMA pressure.

I’ve been an AirPods user for the last four years, and one of the things that makes it genuinely hard to leave behind is the seamless, almost magical pairing experience across devices. Open an AirPods case near your iPhone, and a pop-up appears within seconds. Switch to your Mac and the audio follows. 

However, the experience is limited only to Apple devices. Doesn’t matter whether you have one of the coolest pieces of tech on the market right now; if it’s not Apple, it won’t get the same treatment. However, that might change for the Meta Quest or the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, thanks to pressure from the EU.

Copilot's next trick is diagnosing your PC's problems, but the catch is that the assistant doing the diagnosing is itself part of the problem. Windows Latest reports that Microsoft is testing a new Copilot feature called PC Insights, which will let you ask the AI assistant natural language questions about your computer's hardware and storage instead of digging through the Task Manager or Settings. The feature will reportedly allow users to ask questions like, "Do I have enough space for a 100GB game?" and Copilot will check the available storage to offer a response. Users will also be able to ask about CPU usage, battery health, etc., to diagnose issues.
