Intel's Core Ultra 7 270K Plus pushes beyond the 250K Plus with more cores and cache for $300. It costs more, but could be a strong value for high-end productivity workloads.

Thanks to its class-leading hardware and software, the Apple iPad lineup has long been the go-to tablet recommendation for most people, but now let us guide you on which model is the best for you.

Intel's Core Ultra 5 250K Plus fixes what the 200 series got wrong, delivering blistering productivity performance and competitive gaming at $200, making it one of Intel's most compelling budget CPUs yet.

Crimson Desert looks great and runs well on most PCs, but some settings introduce visual noise and inefficiencies. We break down every option to find the best balance of image quality and performance.

We benchmarked Crimson Desert across 40 GPUs to see how it performs at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. Here's what to expect from your system - and how well it's optimized for modern hardware.

AMD's upcoming FSR 4.1 update promises clearer detail and less motion blur. We tested the new upscaler against FSR 4 and Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 to see how much image quality has improved.

We analyze over 650 PC games to compare DLSS, FSR, and XeSS support to reveal how far Nvidia, AMD, and Intel really are from each other in upscaling and frame generation adoption.

If Windows 11 feels cluttered with AI features, ads, and background services, these popular free tools help strip out the bloat, disable telemetry, and give you more control over the OS.

Apple's $599 MacBook Neo isn't for you. But it might be the most important laptop announcement in years - and the budget Windows market should be paying close attention.

After 6,500 hours of heavy productivity use, we revisit our intentionally abused 4K QD-OLED monitor to see how burn-in has progressed under one of the worst-case scenarios for OLED panels.

Got a budget for your next gaming monitor? We've tested the best options from $150 to $1,500 and picked the top choice at every price point - no fluff, just clear recommendations that make buying easy.

Platform longevity helped define Ryzen's rise, but was it really the secret sauce? As Nova Lake and Zen 6 approach, we revisit AM4 to see how much socket support truly shaped the CPU market.

It may not be the best year to upgrade your PC, but 2026 is packed with games worth the wait. From long-awaited reboots to bold new IP, here are the PC titles we can't stop watching this year.

Microsoft PowerToys packs more than 30 utilities into a single toolbox, but not all of them are worth using. These 11 stand out as genuinely useful, and a few others you can safely ignore.

MSI's RTX 5090 Lightning Z is a limited-run halo product built without practical constraints. We test its thermals, power draw, and performance to see what's possible at the extreme end of GPU design.

With DDR5 prices quadrupling as AI demand drains supply, we tested CXMT Chinese RAM to see how it stacks up against premium and budget kits in gaming.

GPU pricing is broken again - but the real question is how badly. We're putting hard numbers to this situation. How much have graphics card prices increased since memory prices went through the roof?

Before the NES, home consoles were a burned market in the US. Nintendo reversed that narrative with games that turned consoles into a global industry again.

AMD has an easy win sitting right in front of it, yet it's choosing not to take it. FSR 4 already works on older Radeon GPUs, so why is AMD still holding it back?

How well does AMD's FSR 4 upscaling perform compared to Nvidia's latest DLSS 4.5? Is AMD still relatively close to Nvidia in image quality, or has FSR fallen further behind? Let's find out.

Cherry's MX 8.2 Pro TMR is its first magnetic keyboard using tunnel magnetoresistance tech instead of Hall Effect, promising ultra-fast wireless performance and rare hot-swap support for mechanical switches.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9850X3D promises the fastest gaming performance yet, with higher clocks and a small price bump. But does it deliver real gains, or is it just more hype?

Microsoft loves to promote Windows 11 25H2's AI features and other improvements, but can it actually game faster than Windows 10? We tested 14 modern titles to find out if the upgrade is worth it.

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 arrives with a new transformer model promising better image quality, but not without performance trade-offs. We test DLSS 4.5 vs DLSS 4 to see where this latest upscaler genuinely improves.

Nvidia's new G-Sync Pulsar takes gaming motion clarity to a new level. After hands-on testing, we break down how its advanced strobing, VRR support, and rolling scan work together to deliver elite results.
