Asus is building up ROG’s reputation as a brand for powerful but affordable gaming PCs, and the ROG Strix GL10DH continues that plan. Asus doesn’t hold back on impressive features for the $1,450 gaming PC, but if you buy it through Newegg, you will be able to purchase the ROG Strix GL10DH with a $250 discount for a hard-to-pass price of $1,200.

The Asus ROG Strix GL10DH is the first ROG desktop PC powered by AMD, specifically the eight-core, 3.6 GHz AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, which combines with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super GPU and 16 GB DDR4 memory for smooth gameplay. The PC’s 512GB NVMe SSD provides ample storage for your favorite games, while also enabling fast loading times.

The ROG Strix GL10DH can run popular titles such as Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds at Full HD resolution with triple-digit frame rates. The gaming PC is also VR ready, for players who want to immerse themselves in virtual reality.

Long hours of gaming won’t be a problem for the ROG Strix GL10DH, as it features two isolated air chambers that provide cleaner airflow to help keep it cool. With this, the heat generated by the CPU and GPU in the upper chamber doesn’t warm up the power supply unit and the HDDs in the lower chamber.

The ROG Strix GL10DH also looks cool with the futuristic design of its chassis and Aura Sync lighting that may be customized to match compatible accessories. The lights may be controlled through the ROG Armoury Crate software, which also manages the preferred settings for up to four profiles while showing system statistics to make sure that everything is in order.

The Asus ROG Strix GL10DH is not the most powerful gaming PC ever built, but its sleek design and optimized performance gives you a lot of bang for your buck.

There’s no telling how long the discount will last, so don’t think twice and hit the Buy Now button.

A metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest upgrades for snazzy gaming setups

The Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Y7MG mouse bring 8K polling to both sides of your gaming setup

Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice are hardly unusual anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas a little further with its latest Legion peripherals. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for players who want every input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lenovo has styled these peripherals to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without getting in the way of practicality. The keyboard has a hefty metallic design with translucent keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is more tame and traditional in design, but it also has an RGB strip that appears to belong on an alien spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the budget laptops I’d actually recommend

From a $359 Chromebook to the cheapest way into macOS, these are the budget picks worth your money.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

The back-to-school season often turns into a laptop, especially the budget ones that aren't too heavy on your wallet. Due to the ongoing memory crisis, most manufacturers have already bumped up their laptop prices, including Apple. However, that doesn't mean that I won't help you get a new machine. So, for this one, I spent time digging through spec sheets, customer ratings, and price tags, finding devices that don't just look cheap in an Amazon listing, but actually hold up.

From a flexible touchscreen Chromebook to the least expensive way into macOS, these six laptops balance price and performance well. I'd hand any one of them to a student heading back to campus this fall, depending on what they need and what their priorities are.

Asus’ latest Zenbook puts a seriously bright OLED screen inside an impossibly slim body

The Zenbook 14 Air is only 11mm thick but still packs a 77Wh battery

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Asus has introduced a new AMD-powered version of the Zenbook 14 Air 2026, combining a bright OLED display and a large battery inside an 11mm-thick chassis. It weighs 1.19kg, keeping it firmly in ultraportable territory despite the 77Wh battery inside.

The Zenbook 14 Air 2026 itself is not entirely new. Asus launched an Intel configuration powered by the Core Ultra 9 386H in China back in January. The latest version switches to AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 H 445 and is priced at CNY 9,999, or around $1,477. (via Notebookcheck)
