The Alienware Aurora R16, one of the most powerful gaming PCs you can buy today, is currently on sale from Dell. This configuration with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card is available with a $250 discount, which brings its price down from $2,650 to $2,400. It’s still expensive, but that’s understandable considering the capabilities of this machine. Consider the savings a bonus if you’re interested in buying the gaming desktop anyway, but you’re going to have to hurry with your purchase as it may be back to its regular price sooner than you expect.

I upgraded from the M1 MacBook Air to the M5, and here’s what changed for me
The M5 changed more about my workflow than I expected.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

After about four years with the M1 MacBook Air, I finally pulled the trigger on the M5, and I got there just in time to dodge Apple's recent price hike by eleven days, a story I already told elsewhere, and one that still makes me feel unreasonably smug.

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.
