HP Envy 23 review all in one pc

HP Envy 23 Review

HP dilutes its premium brand name with the Envy 23, a thoroughly unremarkable (but competent) all-in-one that fails to really distinguish itself from the competition.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 Review

The massive HP Omni 27 reaches the limits of all-in-one size with its 27-inch display, but leaves resolution and power stagnant, to its detriment.

Asus ProArt Station PD5 review: Too little, too late

The Asus ProArt Station PD5 is too little, too late. It's held back by a last-gen processor, which makes it a bad buy for creators in 2022.
Intel NUC i7

Intel NUC Core i7 (NUC5i7RYH) review

The Intel NUC Core i7 is a customizable, compact computer, with a speedy processor. That being said, most users will find the cheaper Core i5 version will get the job done just as well for $100 less.

With a modern 12-core Intel Core i9-9920X processor, Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Ti graphics, and 32GB of RAM, the Corsair One Pro is designed to woo creatives who demand more power from Apple’s Mac Pro. Like the Mac Pro, the best part of this PC is that it won’t take up much space on your desk.

Dell's Inspiron 27 7790 might not be a gaming PC in the traditional sense, but it still delivers a terrific gaming experience for console gamers who need a desktop for productivity work.

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT review: Smooth 1080p gaming at a 1440p price

The naked Raspberry Pi 4

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Desktop Kit review: Homebrew hacking

The Raspberry Pi 4 is the latest miniature computing sensation from the Raspberry Pi Foundation and is by far the most capable Pi yet. It adds dual HDMI support for twin 4K displays, a more powerful SoC, and the option of plenty of new RAM. It comes with everything you need to get started too.

Senior Editor, Computing

Luke Larsen is a Senior Editor at Digital Trends and manages all content covering laptops, Macs, monitors, PC hardware, and peripherals. Around here we call it “computing,” but here’s a good rule of thumb: If it’s a computer or something that plugs into a computer, you found your guy. Oh, and these days, AI too. So much AI.

After getting a degree in music from the University of Oregon, Luke started his career in media hoping to get into music journalism. But when the opportunity arose, he landed in tech and hasn’t looked back since. He has over a decade of tech journalism experience, first joining Digital Trends in 2017 as a native Portlander, happy to join a tech media company that called his city home. Before working at DT, he worked as Tech Editor at Paste Magazine for over four years and has bylines at publications such as IGN, TouchArcade (RIP), and The Oregonian.

In his years at Digital Trends so far, Luke has covered high-profile industry events such as CES, IFA, and Microsoft Build, delivering on-the-ground coverage, breaking news, and first-hand reporting. He’s hosted countless YouTube videos, made podcast appearances, and written over 600 articles.

Some of his earliest tech memories include learning HTML through his MySpace account and trying to play Baldur’s Gate II on his parents’ dusty old beige box. These days, his obsession with technology is in telling stories with tech — in finding the narratives that ebb and flow through both technological advancement and product design, trickling right on down to our day-to-day experience of it. He is convinced that we all spend too much of our time using technology and not enough time thinking about it — cue a healthy dose of navel-gazing and philosophizing.

When he’s not endlessly debating what the best laptop is, Luke spends his days being a dad and a husband. Oh, and when there’s time (which there isn’t), he’s an avid fiction writer, player of designer board games, and still occasionally makes some music.
