Major retailers aren’t about to hand over all the shopping traffic to Amazon, just because it’s Prime Day. For instance, Newegg is embarking on the second round of its Fantastech Sale (between us though, this is pretty much a Prime Day deal, just by another name). Which is great news if you’re a gamer. Right now, you can get a whopping $400 discount on an Asus ROG Strix G 15.6 gaming Laptop. It’s only $900, down from its original price of $1,300. Game on!

What’s on offer is a powerful, versatile, upgradeable gaming laptop. ROG, one of the dominant names in the es-ports business, introduced the Strix to help gamers dominate in their field. This is a reliably kickass machine for every kind of gamer. And it looks great too.

ASUS really kicked up the design of this laptop. There aren’t many sleeker gaming laptops out there, but their efforts continued under the hood as well. A huge factor in gaming performance, and your ability to compete with the best of them, is keeping your machine cool. Using inspiration from their collaboration with BMW Designworks Group, Asus created their 3D Flow Zone, a new approach to cooling which you can witness through a window. Proper airflow halts interruptions and lag, which any gamer knows can not only set them back, but ruin the experience. The Strix G has dual N-Blade fans with 83 blades, plus super-thin fins which increase their cooling ability.

Another major factor in determining how well you’ll play is how well a laptop handles the games you’re throwing at it. What you need is a great processor and graphics card, and the Strix G has exactly these. It boasts the latest 9th Gen Intel Core processor and GeForce RTX graphics. It doesn’t get much better in a laptop. On top of this, there’s 8 GB ram and an entire TB of SSD storage. This laptop comes ready to play hard. We also love the trim bezel on the 15.6-inch screen, the ray tracing for the best possible lighting of your games, and the low-key LED lighting around the laptop’s periphery. You can customize this, too, and make it your own.

We’re seeing some fantastic Prime Day laptop deals and even some amazing Prime Day gaming laptop deals, but it’s difficult to find this kind of discount on a gaming laptop as advanced and versatile as the Asus ROG Strix G 15.6. Act now, and you grab a $400 discount on an Asus ROG Strix G 15.6 gaming Laptop. It’s only $900, down from its original price of $1,300. Up your game, while you still can.

AI chatbots will agree and misinform if you just put a little pressure, warns research
ChatGPT 3.5 proved the most vulnerable when false claims were repeated over and over
Claude AI on an iPhone.

AI chatbots have a well-documented habit of hallucinating information and sometimes agreeing with users even when they are wrong. A new study suggests that simply refusing to take no for an answer can make the problem worse.

Researchers from the University of Arizona tested seven AI models, including GPT-3.5, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Llama 3 70B, and DeepSeek-R1. Instead of judging them from a single response, researchers kept conversations going while repeatedly feeding the models information they knew was false.

AMD’s new workstation packs 576GB of GPU memory and enough horsepower for trillion-parameter AI models
AMD just built a desktop workstation with more raw memory than most small data centers had a decade ago.

AMD just built a desktop that really has no business sitting on an actual desk. At IFA 2026, the company unveiled the Threadripper Halo Station.

As the name probably already suggests, it is a liquid-cooled machine that can run AI models with more than a trillion parameters without touching the cloud even once. If you don't already know, those numbers are reserved for server shelves, not someone's personal desk.
