Gaming desktops are generally known as big and bulky machines, so if you want one but you don’t have much space, you should check out the HP Omen 16L. Its configuration with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card is on sale from HP itself with a $150 discount that slashes its price from $1,000 to a more affordable $850, but we’re not sure for how much longer. The offer may be gone as soon as tomorrow, so you’re going to want to take advantage of the savings for this gaming PC while they’re still online.

Why you should buy the HP Omen 16L gaming PC

The HP Omen 16L, which we tagged as one of the best gaming PCs of CES 2025, is the smallest gaming desktop that HP has ever made. The compact body doesn’t sacrifice performance though, with this configuration coming with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card alongside the 14th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and 16GB of RAM that’s the best place to start for gaming, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. These specifications will allow you to play the best PC games without any issues, though you may have to skip on the highest settings for the more demanding titles.

The miniature design of the HP Omen 16L not only saves on space, but it also reduces power usage, while also helping keep temperature and noise levels down. The gaming PC still has a 512GB SSD though, for the space to install multiple AAA titles, and with Windows 11 Home out of the box, you can start doing so right after setting it up.

HP is an excellent source of gaming PC deals, and the HP Omen 16L is a great choice for gamers with limited space. This configuration with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card has an original price of $1,000, but it’s currently down to $850 for savings of $150 that you can spend on monitor deals and more video games. If you think the HP Omen 16L is the perfect gaming desktop for you, we highly recommend proceeding with the transaction for it right now as it would be a shame to miss out on the discount.

Apple has just released its touchscreen MacBook Pro, and there's plenty to get excited about. It's the first MacBook with an OLED display, powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and even gets the Dynamic Island from the iPhone. We've heard plenty about these upgrades through leaks and rumors over the past few months, but one thing I wasn't prepared for was the return of the glowing Apple logo.

Apple-MacBook-Pro-PROLED-XDR-Display

After years of rumors and anticipation, Apple finally unveiled the touchscreen MacBook Pro, or as it likes to call it, the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display. 

There’s no new chip, so the focus is entirely on the touchscreen. Apple has used tandem OLED technology (first debuted on the iPad Pro), which rates the display at a 2,000-nit peak brightness. It also features ProMotion (adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz) and covers both P3 and Adobe RGB gamuts. And yes, the screen also features the Dynamic Island we've seen on iPhones for years.

Google just invited its AI rivals into its own house and handed them the keys to the most important room. Whether that’s generosity or strategy, I’m still deciding.

At its Android Developer Summit on Wednesday, Google said Android Studio, its official app-building software, now works with more than 40 AI coding agents. These include the popular ones like Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s Codex, and Google’s own Antigravity. (via Android Developers Blog)
