Are you looking for the most powerful device that you can get from the currently available gaming laptop deals? The Alienware x16 fits the bill with its Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, and it’s available with a $950 discount in a clearance sale from Dell. From its original price of $3,450, it’s down to $2,500, which still isn’t cheap but a more reasonable price for this top-of-the-line machine. You’re going to have to hurry with the transaction if you’re interested though, as you may miss out on the savings if you delay your purchase.

Why you should buy the Alienware x16 gaming laptop

The Alienware x16 is powered by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, which combine with the 13th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and 32GB of RAM for performance that will challenge the capabilities of the best gaming laptops. You won’t have trouble running the best PC games at their highest settings, and you’ll be ready for the upcoming PC games of the next few years with this machine in your arsenal.

To give justice to its processing power, the Alienware x16 gaming laptop is equipped with a 16-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 480Hz refresh rate, for sharp details and smooth movements on the display. You’ll have enough space to install your favorite titles on the device’s 2TB SSD, and with Windows 11 Home pre-loaded, you can start right after turning it on for the first time. Gamers will also have access to the Alienware Command Center to customize the gaming laptop, including its AlienFX Lighting Zones for an extra serving of style while you play.

Not all laptop deals will meet the strict requirements of modern PC gaming. You should be prepared to spend some serious cash if you want a powerful machine, but fortunately you can enjoy some savings along the way with offers like Dell’s $950 discount for the Alienware x16. It’s down to $2,500 from $3,450, but probably not for long because this is a clearance sale. Before the bargain ends or stocks sell out, complete your purchase of the Alienware x16 gaming laptop to get your own for cheaper than usual.

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.

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.

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.
