Dell Inspiron 5680 Gaming Desktop review
If you aren't interested in building your computer, PC gaming can get expensive, but not so with the Dell Inspiron 5680 Gaming Desktop. Starting at just $600, it provides nearly everything you’d want in a cheap gaming PC. It has enough power to play modern games at reasonable framerates without breaking the bank.
Razer Blade Stealth (2018) review
Despite the brand, and the looks of it, the Blade Stealth is not a gaming laptop. Instead, Razer has made a thin-and-light laptop that competes with the Dell XPS 13 and MacBook Pros of the world. But Razer has an ace in its sleeve. The Razer Core external GPU can transform this laptop into a desktop-grade gaming machine.
BenQ EX3501R ultrawide monitor review
BenQ is known for shipping excellent displays, and that’s no different with this curved, ultrawide monster of a monitor. The hidden surprise? Its implementation of HDR, 100Hz refresh rate, and even FreeSync support. That’s right -- the EX3501R is a monitor that works as well for games as it does for work.
Dell XPS 15 9570 review
Not everyone needs the power that a laptop like the Dell XPS 15 provides. It comes with a large 15-inch screen, discrete GPU, and six-core processor -- all in a sleek, thin laptop. If you need a computer that can handle the heavy workload you use every day, the XPS 15 just might be the best option you can get.
Acer Predator Helios 500 review
The Predator Helios 500 is a machine that calls to gamers. With a high refresh rate display, overclockable hardware, and great gaming performance, the Helios 500 holds no punches. If you’re fine lugging around nine pounds of gamer style, this just might be the gaming laptop you’ve been looking for.
Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UA review
It’s never been truer that you don’t need to spend over a thousand bucks to buy a good laptop. The new ZenBook 13 takes what we’ve always loved about its predecessor and makes enough small refinements to keep it ahead of its competitors. Though just $800, it fares better in some areas better than laptops that cost twice as much.
Lenovo Yoga Book C930 review
Projects as experimental as the Yoga Book C930 are a rare breed. This keyboard-less, dual-screen laptop takes what was clunky about the original Yoga Book, and streamlines the functionality using an e-ink screen. Our review will help you decide if this is a novel new PC alternative, or just a fad.
Microsoft Surface Studio 2 review
Most creative pros are Apple users, but with the Surface Studio 2, Microsoft makes a serious attempt to win them over. There aren't a lot of new features on the outside, but the internal updates are significant. Despite its niche appeal, you’ll wish you had a few grand to drop on this beauty.
Google Pixel Slate review
The Pixel Slate is Google’s answer to the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 6. With Chrome OS and Android at its disposal, the Pixel Slate is a device that has the potential to be the most convincing 2-in-1 device ever made. But with all that ambition, there’s bound to be some problems and hiccups along the way.
Alienware m15 review
Thin and light gaming is a new category of laptop, led by options like the Razer Blade. Alienware now has its own entry: The Alienware m15. It’s not the thinnest, lightest, or sleekest option in the bunch, but it doesn’t hold back in terms of performance. It combines a traditional Alienware look modern design.
Lenovo Yoga S940 hands-on review
Lenovo’s Yoga S940, which debuted at CES 2019, has a few tricks up its sleeve. By using an inverted notch above the screen and curved glass along the edges of the display, the Yoga S940 creates subtle fair and sets a new standard for laptop elegance. Can those design tweaks make Lenovo’s latest a winner?
Huawei MateBook 13 review
Huawei’s MateBook 13 is a MacBook Air competitor, through and through. But with an attractive price point, a beautiful 3:2 display, and the option for discrete graphics, can the MateBook 13 rise above the similarities to Apple’s laptops? In some ways, yes. In others, it has a long way to go.
Asus ROG Zephyrus S (GX701) review
RTX graphics have finally made it to gaming laptops, and the first we've tested is the new Zephyrus S. Now with a 17-inch display and those powerful graphics inside, the Zephyrus' unique design has some additional power for smooth gaming. The downsides of the keyboard design, however, remain.
HP Omen X Emperium 65 review
Gaming monitors keep getting bigger, but the 65-inch Omen X Emperium takes it to another level. In fact, this $5,000 display is as close to a gaming television as we’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the picture quality chops to compete with the Samsungs and LGs of the world.
Acer Predator XB3 review
The $1,300 Predator XB3 isn’t for the faint of heart. But if you have a system that can push over 100 frames per second at 4K screen resolution, this monster of a monitor might be the perfect match for your overpowered gaming rig. More than that, it’s an investment in the future of PC gaming power.
MSI GS75 Stealth review
The MSI GS65 made a big splash at its release. It was impossibly thin yet impressively powerful. MSI followed it up in 2019 with a 17-inch version, but the larger size isn’t the only thing that’s changed. Can the GS75 Stealth stand out in a sea of thin-and-light gaming laptops?
The Galaxy Book S is the most exciting Samsung laptop I’ve ever seen
The Galaxy Book S is the newest laptop from Samsung, but unlike a lot of other laptops the company has launched, this one has my interest. Its ultra-portable design is the most eye-catching feature it has, but it's the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx CPU that has me curious.

The 12-inch MacBook was Apple’s most revolutionary laptop. That couldn’t save it
Apple's most experimental laptop, the 12-inch MacBook, has been canned. Rife with controversy from the very beginning, this expensive, futuristic laptop seemed destined to be the future of the MacBook lineup. What does the death of the 12-inch MacBook mean for the future of Mac laptops?
The Surface Centaurus might run Android apps, but is that a good idea?
A new leak hints that Microsoft's rumored Project Centaurus is a dual-screen device that will run Android apps. Microsoft and Google working together seems like a strange proposition at first, but maybe this is just what Microsoft needs to save its desperately-ignored Windows tablet mode.
OLED laptops have returned, but read this before buying one
Whether it's for gaming or content creation, OLED laptops have returned. However, they are only available in certain laptops such as the Dell XPS 15 or the new Alienware m15. I took the latter for a spin to see if OLED screens make a big enough difference to be worth the cost. Is OLED the future of laptop screens?
The true advantage of AMD’s next-gen chips isn’t power, it’s platforms
AMD announced some impressive new processors and GPUs at E3 this week, with plenty of muscle to flex. But the real strength of AMD in the future isn't its power -- or even its price. It's the cross-platform scalability, providing chips for everything from game streaming services to mobile devices.
