Intel’s latest Lunar Lake chips for laptops have made a big splash at Computex. The new CPUs use a radical new architecture and show impressive generational gains, which is something Intel needs as competition heats up from AMD and Qualcomm. To dive deep into the new...
Ever completely stop for a moment, struck breathless by beauty? The Phanteks Evolv X2, newly announced at Computex 2024, sparks that kind of reaction. (My mug literally paused in mid-air when I saw it.) Its shape may be like other tower cases, but its looks are altogether...
The bell is tolling for Windows 10, with the much-loved operating system going out of official support in October of next year. But with hundreds of millions of users still on the older version (and many refusing to upgrade), it looks like Microsoft has a few improvements...

Several years ago, I got to play with the Acer ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition laptop, a revolutionary device that allowed me to view 3D imagery without the need for 3D glasses. As impressed as I was at the time with it, though, its practical application seemed a bit limited...

VESA is trying to solve a big problem with its updated DisplayHDR 1.2 specification: Low-end HDR effects in PC monitors can be pretty lousy. Roland Wooster, a principal engineer for Intel who also chairs the VESA Display Performance Metrics group, described the new update as ...
Apple’s new iPad Pro is powered by the M4 processor, skipping the M3 entirely. Apple has never debuted an M-series processor in a product other than the Mac, so the launch of this new processor in the iPad Pro is an unexpected surprise. The M4 is made on an enhanced 3nm...
Microsoft is packing more and more advertising into its Windows operating system. In Windows 11, ads now even appear in the Start menu (though Microsoft calls ads for apps or Windows services “recommendations”), and you’ll see full-screen ads for the Edge browser. You can...
Did you know that your favorite PCWorld writers, and also Brad, are on a podcast every week? They are! It’s called The Full Nerd and it’s been going for over seven years, kinda surprised you haven’t heard about it at this point. Anyway, episode 300 is coming up today! It’s a...

When your K/D tally is at stake it’s pretty tempting to buy a premium gaming mouse with all the latest bells and whistles. But that can be a costly move that can see you paying upwards of $150 USD — that’s coin that could go towards a brand-new processor instead. The truth...
We’re finally reaching the point where OLED gaming monitors are, if not exactly affordable, then at least somewhat attainable. Consider Gigabyte’s 49-inch ultrawide OLED: With a retail price of $1100, it’s a steal next to the similar Samsung model, which is $1800 at sticker p...
If you’re unable to drop thousands of dollars on a souped-up gaming rig, you’re not alone, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a below average machine. Right now you can pick up the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 for just $749 at B&H. That’s $560 off the usual price! This laptop...
I’m kind of obsessed with my desktop PC setup, since it’s where I do almost all of my work and a good chunk of my relaxation. There are a lot of us out there — just check out Reddit’s “battlestation” sub if you doubt me. And while I’ve recommended a bunch of small upgrades...
