There’s nothing like a powerhouse Windows PC to enhance your PC gaming experience. The almighty Omen 45L is powered by an Intel Core i7-13700K with 16 cores, 24 threads, and 16GB of RAM. Graphics are handled by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, so you can expect beautiful visuals and blistering-fast gameplay. 

The Omen 45L uses an advanced cooling chamber to keep the CPU from overheating. And thanks to the Omen Gaming Hub, you’ll be able to customize just about every gameplay element you can think of, as well as the RGB lighting you’ll find on the front of the tower! You’ll also get up to 1TB of internal storage, plenty of connections, and a free 30 days of McAfee Livesafe.

Next up on our list is the fast and powerful HP Omen 40L. Spec wise, things are pretty similar to the Omen 45L, though we do get a few boosts in some key areas. First and foremost, you’ll be working with an Intel Core i7-14700F with 20 cores, 28 threads, and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. You’ll also be able to jack things up to 128GB if you’re feeling like you want all the power in the world!

Graphically, the Omen 40L runs on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, and includes both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort for video outputs (as opposed to just DisplayPort on the Omen 45L). Additional features include up to 1TB of internal storage, a boatload of ports, and the ability to hook up a 5.1 surround.

HP Victus 15L — $480, was $830

If you’d like to try and keep your spending below $500, we recommend the HP Victus 15L. Favoring AMD over Intel, this desktop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU with 6 cores, 12 threads, and 8GB of RAM. Graphics are handled by AMD’s integrated Radeon RX 6400. While these aren’t the kind of specs you’ll find on the more powerful Omen towers we linked to above, the Victus 15L is still a great way to game on a budget. 

We’re not sure how long these desktop computer deals are going to last, so it’s best to take advantage of them sooner rather than later. Save big on the HP Omen 40L, Omen 45L, and Victus 15L when you purchase through Dell. And be sure to check out our huge list of desktop PC deals on your way out! And if you need something a bit more portable, why not check out our list of HP laptop deals!

What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces
Researchers say spotting AI faces may soon depend more on people than software
Zuckerberg Deepfake

Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on - counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds - are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be a better AI detector at all. It might simply be a better-trained human.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, working alongside Australia's National University, found that people can dramatically improve their ability to distinguish AI-generated faces from real ones after a relatively short period of structured training. Instead of hunting for obvious visual glitches, participants were taught to recognise subtle patterns that modern image generators still struggle to replicate consistently.

Google’s new Magic Pointer Play Store listing reveals a Gemini shortcut built for Googlebooks
The unannounced app turns the cursor into a contextual AI tool for search, image creation, and shopping
Plant, Text, Business Card

Google has quietly published a new Play Store listing for Magic Pointer, an unannounced app built for Googlebooks. Updated on July 10, the app turns the cursor into a Gemini shortcut that can act on whatever a user selects on screen.

Magic Pointer can send an image to Lens, generate a related image, or surface a shopping action without forcing users to open a separate chatbot. Regular Android devices currently show as incompatible, so the listing offers an early preview rather than a broad release.

You can stop using AI, but this new report says you probably can’t escape it
A UK survey found that most people feel AI exposure is unavoidable, raising harder questions about consent, privacy, and whether opting out is still realistic
AI Chatbots

More people are trying to use less AI, but avoiding it altogether may already be impossible.

A survey of 2,055 UK adults found that 42% deliberately limit how much AI they use. Another 70% said avoiding AI exposure would be difficult or impossible, even when they actively wanted less of it.
