For one of the ultimate gaming PC deals right now, head over to Dell. Today, you can buy the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop for a huge $800 off. Normally $3,700, the PC is down to $2,900 for a limited time. Much of the logic behind this is because the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series of graphics cards are launching imminently, so Dell is clearing stock to get ready for the latest hardware. However, going for this PC won’t leave you a step behind, as it remains a high-end option that will guarantee great gaming for a long time to come. If that sounds appealing to you, read on while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop

The Alienware Aurora R16 is a good enough PC to glean a four star review from us. We loved how it’s “much smaller than previous versions” while being super powerful. It has “cool and quiet during operation,” which is important for such a power hungry machine, and it looks great too.

This particular model has a 14th-generation Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage, all you could need for an incredibly reliable core package. It also has an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU with 24GB of dedicated VRAM, so it’s ideal for playing every game imaginable at high-end levels of detail. Make sure you buy one of the best gaming monitors and aim for at least 1440p and a screen with HDR support for the best results.

To cement its reputation as one of the best gaming PCs, the Alienware Aurora R16 has some neat things you may not immediately notice. There’s its efficient airflow system, with a chassis designed for optimal use and internal cable management. There’s also the Alienware Command Center which lets you change up your performance mode as needed, adjust the RGB lighting, or even overclock certain components. Finally, there are super accessible ports. The Alienware Aurora R16 is practical in seemingly every way.

The Alienware Aurora R16 usually costs $3,700, but right now you can buy it from Dell for $2,900. That means considerable savings of $800 are yours for the taking right now. Check it out for yourself by tapping the button below. You’ll love how great it makes your favorite games look.

Digital Citizen has published multiple renders of an unannounced Asus Googlebook, showing its lid, keyboard, chassis, and port selection. The laptop could make its official debut at IFA next month. Googlebooks are expected to bring Android apps, ChromeOS technology, deeper phone integration, and Gemini features to a new generation of laptops. Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are all expected to be part of the first wave.

I’m done charging things that never leave my desk
Wireless peripherals are better than ever, but I’m starting to value the devices that ask absolutely nothing of me
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

I have two pairs of wireless earbuds that I rotate during long gaming sessions. When one starts complaining about its battery, I swap in the other pair and put the first one on charge. It’s a mildly ridiculous system, but it works. Apparently, my gaming setup now requires something resembling shift work.

Then my mouse died in the middle of a game.

Your favorite Edge extension may stop working soon as Microsoft follows Chrome’s lead
Microsoft has announced the transition to Manifest V3, gradually phasing out older browser extensions.
Microsoft Edge on PC and Mobile Featured

Microsoft Edge is finally making the same controversial move that Google Chrome did earlier this year, and it could mean the end of some of the browser's most popular ad blockers. Microsoft has announced that Edge is officially transitioning its extensions ecosystem to Manifest Version 3 (MV3), Google's newer extension platform that promises better security, privacy, and performance. As part of that shift, the browser will gradually stop supporting older Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions over the coming months, meaning legacy extensions such as the original uBlock Origin will eventually stop working in Edge.

What is Manifest V3, and why is Microsoft adopting it?
