As its name implies, the Bolt II Battlebox Titan Z is stuffed with an Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Z dual-GPU graphics card. Simply put, it’s one of the most powerful graphics cards on the market today. However, it’s not the most powerful one out there. That crown goes to AMD’s Radeon R9 295X2, which also costs half ($1,500) of what the Titan Z ($3,000) goes for. So, keep that in mind.

Aside from the Titan Z, the Bolt II Battlebox Titan Z also ships with an overclocked Intel Core i7-4970K CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD paired with a 1TB mechanical hard drive by default. Of course, you can swap out any of these components if you prefer to cut corners in some or all of these areas. In fact, if we were to get one of these, we’d go for 8GB of RAM instead, which slices about $100 off the $4,997 as-configured price. 8GB is more than enough to handle almost any task you throw at this machine. 16GB is overkill.

Powering all of this is a 700-watt power supply, while the CPU gets sweat wiped off its brow courtesy of a liquid cooling system. You can opt for one of a few paint jobs, including red, blue, white, and black. There’s also Copperhead, but Digital Storm’s site says that it is currently back-ordered.

HP has a new $799 mini PC for fans of the Mac mini form factor
The OmniDesk Mini puts Wildcat Lake inside a tiny desktop that starts at $799
HP OmniDesk Mini Desktop

HP has a new mini PC on sale in the U.S., and it is difficult to look at the machine without thinking of Apple's Mac mini. The OmniDesk Mini has a similarly compact footprint and starts at $799.99, making it $100 cheaper than the recently announced M6 Mac mini.

The similarities mostly stop there. The base OmniDesk Mini is powered by Intel's Core 3 304, a five-core, five-thread Wildcat Lake processor. It comes with 8GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 256GB SSD. HP also offers Core 5 320 configurations with up to 16GB of memory. So, despite the Mac mini-like dimensions, this is better viewed as a compact Windows PC than a direct rival to Apple's latest desktop.

Exclusive: Microsoft explains why RTX Spark’s Prism emulation is about more than higher FPS
Because an erratic 80 FPS will always feel worse than a silky-smooth 60.
ARC Raiders with Anti-Cheat Support running on NVIDIA RTX Spark Laptop

NVIDIA’s RTX Spark may pack a powerful Blackwell GPU, but its ability to run the massive library of existing PC games on Arm depends on a quieter piece of technology: Microsoft’s Prism emulator. Prism allows x64 Windows games and applications to run on RTX Spark’s Arm-based CPU without requiring developers to immediately rewrite them for ARM64.

During an exclusive conversation at NVIDIA’s private IFA 2026 demo, Microsoft’s Peter Dawoud explained that the latest Prism work isn't just about pushing emulated workloads to higher FPS. Microsoft is also focused on performance consistency, particularly in GPU-heavy games where the CPU still has to coordinate frames, physics, and rendering. Because a higher average FPS doesn't always mean a smoother experience, that could prove to be one of Prism’s most important improvements yet.

The best screenshot app for Mac just became a screen recording powerhouse
CleanShot X already made screenshots easy. Now it wants to make screen recording and editing just as painless.
CleanShot-X-version-5-running-on-Mac

CleanShot X is the best screenshot app for Mac. It's one of my favorite Mac apps, and I've already covered all its features in a previous article. The app just received its 5.0 update, and it's such a massive release that I had to write about it.

CleanShot X already had a built-in screen recording feature, but it was pretty bare-bones. With this update, the app has grown into a proper screen recording studio. You can now record your Mac's screen, edit that recording, add zooms and backgrounds, and do a whole lot more without ever leaving the app.
