Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC

It’s no secret that we’re very impressed by the Alienware Aurora R16 — we gave it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review, and we’ve placed it at the top of our list of the best gaming PCs. It appears to be expensive even after the current discount, but it’s actually competitively priced with what you’re getting with your purchase. It’s equipped with the 14th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card, and 32GB of RAM that’s the maximum recommendation by our guide on how to buy a gaming desktop. With these specifications, not only can you play the best PC games at their highest settings, but you’ll also be ready for the upcoming PC games of the next few years.

With a 2TB SSD, you’ll have enough space to install several AAA titles, and with Windows 11 Pro pre-loaded, you can actually start doing so right after you hook up the gaming PC to the necessary peripherals. The gaming desktop keeps cool and quiet while you’re playing with its liquid-cooling system, and it’s smaller than previous generations so it will take up less space on your desk, meaning you can get that bigger gaming monitor that you’ve wanted.

Dell is a fantastic source of gaming PC deals, especially if you’ve got your eyes on the Alienware brand. We highly recommend going for the Alienware Aurora R16, as there’s $210 in savings up for grabs for this model with an original price of $2,210, so you’ll only have to pay $2,000. It’s still not what you’d call affordable, but it’s actually a steal price when you consider the power that this gaming desktop packs. Hurry and complete your transaction for the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, as it would be a shame to miss out on the discount.

Can AI audiobooks narrate better than humans? This study says many listeners think so
New study finds listeners favor AI narrated audiobooks over traditional human narration in blind testing.

You might assume most listeners would pick a real human voice over a synthetic one, but a new study says otherwise. Edison Research at SSRS surveyed 1,005 fiction audiobook fans in May 2026 for a study commissioned by AI audio company Spoken. The twist is that listeners rated the AI narration higher, and they did not even know it was AI until after they heard it (via Variety).

Gemini can make sense of the world around you, but don’t let it observe your children just yet
AI can spot what a child is doing, but figuring out what it means still takes a human expert
Kid using an iPad

Google's Gemini models are becoming remarkably good at understanding videos, images, and conversations. A new study shows AI can even identify subtle behaviors in parent-child interactions with impressive accuracy. But here's the catch: while Gemini can reliably observe what is happening, researchers say it should not be trusted to decide what those behaviors actually mean.

Worth noting is that the study used Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is not Google's most advanced AI. That means future models could improve the results even further. Even so, the researchers argue that human experts remain essential.
