Why you should buy the HP Omen 16L gaming PC

The HP Omen 16L, which was unveiled at CES 2025, is the smallest gaming desktop that the brand has ever made. Its size isn’t an indicator of its performance though, as it’s more than capable of running the best PC games with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, 14th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, and 8GB of RAM. You may have to dial back to low to medium settings for the more demanding titles, but an eventual upgrade to 16GB of RAM, as recommended by our guide on how much RAM do you need, should do wonders.

While the HP Omen 16L is relatively small compared to the best gaming desktops, it doesn’t sacrifice storage as it ships with a 512GB SSD. With Windows 11 Home out of the box, you can start installing your favorite titles on this gaming PC right after you hook it up to your gaming monitor and all the necessary peripherals. You’ll be able to connect all your accessories too, as the HP Omen 16L features several USB-A ports, a USB-C port at the front, and a headphone jack for your gaming headset.

You can currently buy the HP Omen 16L with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card for only $800, following HP’s $530 discount on its sticker price of $1,330. We highly recommend completing your transaction as soon as possible though, as the gaming desktop isn’t going to stay at 39% off forever. Add the HP Omen 16L gaming PC to your cart and finish the checkout process quickly, or there’s a chance you miss out on this special price.

Googlebooks are expected to bring Android apps, ChromeOS technology, deeper phone integration, and Gemini features to a new generation of laptops. Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are all expected to be part of the first wave.

I’m done charging things that never leave my desk
Wireless peripherals are better than ever, but I’m starting to value the devices that ask absolutely nothing of me
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

I have two pairs of wireless earbuds that I rotate during long gaming sessions. When one starts complaining about its battery, I swap in the other pair and put the first one on charge. It’s a mildly ridiculous system, but it works. Apparently, my gaming setup now requires something resembling shift work.

Then my mouse died in the middle of a game.

Microsoft has announced the transition to Manifest V3, gradually phasing out older browser extensions.
Microsoft Edge on PC and Mobile Featured

Microsoft Edge is finally making the same controversial move that Google Chrome did earlier this year, and it could mean the end of some of the browser's most popular ad blockers.

As part of that shift, the browser will gradually stop supporting older Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions over the coming months, meaning legacy extensions such as the original uBlock Origin will eventually stop working in Edge.

What is Manifest V3, and why is Microsoft adopting it?
