Following the announcements Dell made earlier this month, the company expands the Precision mobile workstation and Latitude business laptop lines with additional models incorporating notable new technologies: a “collaboration touchpad,” Intel’s rumored 55-watt H series mobile processor and the company’s semi-proprietary CAMM, which stands for compression attached memory module, as an alternative to SODIMM. They …

Before you splurge on a shiny, new laptop, you may want to consider giving your current system some TLC. There’s a lot you can do to take better care of that old laptop and stretch its lifespan as long as possible.  Brett Pearce/CNET The longevity horizon of a laptop is analogous to the longevity of a human: It partly comes …

Razer’s second generation of its Leviathan gaming soundbar, aptly named the Leviathan V2, gets prettier — and at $249 (£230, AU$410) as opposed to $200, pricier. And while it gains Bluetooth wireless support, it loses some other useful connections; say bye-bye to analog and optical, for example. Still, it’s a compact and solid alternative to headphones or a beefier surround …

Dell’s popular starts-under-$1,000 gaming laptop, the G15, continues its trajectory away from inconspicuous and moving toward looks-like-Alienware with its 2022 AMD Ryzen-based model. It joins AMD updates of the Alienware M series laptops and Aurora desktop PC updates announced at CES 2022 which also began shipping today. Though the 15-inch G15 essentially retains essentially the same exterior design as last year’s …

HyperX makes some of the comfiest gaming headsets you’ll ever park over your ears. The company’s latest addition to its most comfy line of PC-compatible models (it’s also PS5 compatible) is the Cloud Alpha Wireless. It’s an excellent model that uses the same dual-chamber audio technology as the original Cloud Alpha, which is now five years old.  While much of …

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for 2022 was the first system announced that would adhere to the 2022 version of AMD’s Advantage design framework, as the original G14 model did when it launched in 2020. That means it uses AMD’s latest technologies. This year, much of AMD’s chip updates aim to increase the battery life of gaming laptops while boosting performance by …

Though it was last updated in 2020 with Apple’s original M1 chip, we didn’t get a new Mac Mini announcement in March as hoped. Instead, we got the Mac Studio, a higher-end and bigger model with a doubled version of the same M1 Pro and M1 Max chips found in the company’s latest MacBook Pros. Unless Apple wants to get …

When Apple announced its $1,599 sibling to the $4,999 Pro Display XDR, I was among those disappointed that the long-anticipated model wasn’t simply a smaller, lower-brightness version of its big brother. Not that the 27-inch Apple Studio Display is disappointing: It has excellent color accuracy and surprisingly good speakers for a monitor, making it a solid choice for Mac owners. It’s …

Intel finally debuts its new discrete graphics cards, arriving more than fashionably late to a party already dominated by Nvidia and AMD. Based on the same Xe architecture that debuted in its integrated GPUs circa 2020 (11th-gen Tiger Lake), it expands the hardware and features to take advantage of access to the higher power and dedicated memory available when it’s …

Although Apple introduced a slew of devices at its event earlier this month, a new MacBook Pro has yet to appear. 9to5Mac speculated after the event that a MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with a new M2 chip could launch later this year, citing anonymous sources.
