B&H Photo has one of the best deals right now on a 4K-ready gaming PC. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC drops to just $1,899 with free delivery after an $700 discount. Most RTX 5070 Ti prebuilts cost above $2,000 these days, so this is one of the lowest prices I've seen. The RTX 5070 Ti is our best reviewed Nvidia GeForce Blackwell card and has the chops to run games in glorious 4K at 60+fps.
The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 10 gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F desktop processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB M.2 SSD. The Core Ultra 7 265F is part of Intel's newest Arrow Lake-S lineup released earlier this year and boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 36MB L2 cache. This is a solid all-around CPU for gaming, multi-tasking, and general workstation performance. It doesn't have as many cores as a Core Ultra 9 processor, but that doesn't matter for gaming since the vast majority of games will not be able to utilize more than 20 cores.
The RTX 5070 Ti offers the best bang for your buck in terms of 4K gaming performance. It performs neck-and-neck with the previous generation RTX 4080 Super and pulls ahead in any game that supports multi-frame generation, especially with the recent DLSS 4.5 update. It is fully capable of running any game in 4K at 60fps. It also has 16GB of VRAM like the RTX 5080, making it viable for AI work. Since RTX 5070 Ti GPUs are pretty much non-existent as a standalone card, the only way to get one without paying a ridiculous markup is by getting an equipped prebuilt computer.

The Alienware Area-51 16 is Dell's highest-end 16" gaming laptop. Much like every gaming laptop on the market, prices have gone up in 2026 due to the increased demand for RTX 50 series GPUs and DDR5 RAM, but fortunately there's still a reliable way to get a good deal if you know where to look.
Dell Outlet – Dell's official site for Dell and Alienware refurbished, scratch and dent, and clearance PCs – just recently restocked its inventory of Alienware Area-51 16 laptops equipped with RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 GPUs. These have been factory inspected and certified to work and look brand new and even include the same warranty as buying a retail product. Like a retail product, you also have the option to extend the base warranty up to three years if desired.
Although the Alienware Area-51 can be equipped with an RTX 5060 or 5070 GPU, at its price tier you really shouldn't be targeting gaming performance lower than an RTX 5070 Ti. The RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GPU is the least expensive card in Nvidia's mobile RTX 50 series lineup that I'd recommend for running most games smoothly on the display's 2560x1600 resolution. It performs about 15%-20% better than the RTX 5070. Compared to the previous generation, it's comparable in performance to the RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4.5 and multi-frame generation. Compared to desktop GPUs, it's similar in performance to the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB model.
The RTX 5080 is a 15%-20% uplift in performance over the RTX 5070 Ti. It also has more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB) which gives it the edge in higher resolution gaming, ray tracing performance, and AI applications. In fact, it's slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090, which was the previous generation's flagship card. Compared to desktop GPUs, it's similar in performance to the RTX 5070. This is the GPU I'd recommend for most people who want to run just about any game out there at 2560x1600 and 60fps with minimal tweaking. Obviously the RTX 5090 is better, but it's way pricier.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is the most powerful mobile graphics card on the market, performing about 15% better than the RTX 5080. It also has a lot more VRAM (24GB vs 16GB), which can come in handy when playing games at higher resolutions (like on an attached 4K monitor) or if you're planning to use this as a mobile creator or AI workstation. Compared to desktop GPUs, it's similar in performance to the RTX 5070 Ti. If you want to run any game out there with all of the bells and whistles enabled, including ray tracing, then this configuration will get it done.
The Alienware Area-51 is a considerable upgrade compared to the previous generation's Alienware m16. For starters, it's clad in anodized aluminum for both the lid and bottom chassis and features a unique iridescent finish that sparkles in direct lighting. The frame is made of a durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been upgraded with generous amounts of copper and a new thermal interface. Dell claims that it can handle up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.
Design-wise, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape compared to previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional squared off design. The hinges are internally positioned so that they're near invisible. There's a transparent window on the undercarriage to show off the internal components. There's also plenty of RGB illumination, although most of it can be turned off if you don't like that sort of thing.

Before he was gunning down a bunch of dudes as John Wick, Keanu Reeves was gunning down a bunch of computer programs as Neo. The Matrix movies will always be some of the most iconic entries in his long career, and Hot Toys has done real justice to that legacy with their latest Neo figure.
In fact, this new figure (based on Reeves' appearance in 2003's The Matrix Reloaded) might just be one of their best and most lifelike collectibles to date. It's got all the bells and whistles you'd expect, right down to the individually adjustable eyeballs. Get a closer look in the slideshow gallery below:
This Neo figure measures about 12.2 inches tall and comes decked out in a detailed mixed media suit with embedded, adjustable wires in the cassok. The figure also comes with removable sunglasses, of course.
As far as accessories go, Hot Toys gives you pretty much everything you need to recreate the iconic Burly Brawl and Chateau battle scenes from the film. That includes various weapons and interchangeable hands, as well as a Chateau-themed base and optional cardboard backdrop.
Judging from one of the photos, it appears Hot Toys is also developing a companion Agent Smith figure, though that hasn't been officially announced yet:
The Hot Toys Neo figure is priced at $270 and is slated for release between January and June of 2027. You can preorder the figure through Sideshow Collectibles.
Previously, Hot Toys revealed a new Batman figure based on 2013's Batman: Arkham Origins.
In other The Matrix news, back in 2024 we learned that Drew Goddard is attached to write and direct a new movie, with Lana Wachowski executive producing. It's unclear whether the film will bring back Reeves or other actors or act as a full reboot of the franchise.

LEGO has just revealed the first new One Piece set of 2026. The Gum-Gum Fruit set is a 482 pieces and is now up for preorder at the LEGO Store for $69.99 with a release date of August 1, 2026. The set was unveiled alongside Season 2 of the live action series dropping on Netflix.
The LEGO One Piece line of sets first began back in August 2025 with seven total sets focused on Season 1 of the show. There have been rumors that six new sets would be getting released in 2026 and this appears to be the first of those to arrive.
The Gum-Gum Fruit set is pretty much exactly what you'd think it would be, it's a giant Gum-Gum fruit on display with a little plaque. More specifically, this is the Devil Fruit that Luffy ate to gain his stretchy powers when he was just a boy. The top of the fruit actually comes off to reveal a smaller scene with a young Monkey D. Luffy encountering the Gum-Gum fruit for the first time in the Windmill Village hut.
The set comes with two different Luffy minifigures. The first is that stretchy leader of the Straw Hat Pirates as he is in the present, with long movable arms that you can extend on the right or the left. You'll also get a young Luffy minifigure that is meant to be part of the little scene inside the big Gum-Gum fruit. With an age rating of 9+, this set is meant for older kids and adults to build and display on a shelf.
Although only the Gum-Gum fruit set has been revealed so far, we do know that additional sets are rumored to arrive later this year. Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but the rumors suggest we may see builds for Drum Island Castle, a Marine Ship, and Tony Tony Chopper. LEGO tends to released themed sets in batches, so it seems likely that we'll see more arrive in August alongside the new Gum-Gum fruit build.
In the meantime, you can check out all seven of the original sets that released last year. Both of the BrickHeadz figures are set to retire soon, so they may be harder to find.

Kathryn Hahn looks set to play Tangled villain Mother Gothel in Disney's upcoming live-action remake, following what appears to be a pretty clear-cut social media tease.
Within the last hour, Hahn has posted a video to her Instagram account where she acts as if she's simply showing off her outfit of the day — which largely consists of a fan-made Mother Gothel shirt.
Fans have long called for Hahn to play Mother Gothel, following her scene-stealing appearances as the antiheroine Agatha Harkness in both Wandavision and Agatha All Along. Now, seemingly, Hahn has officially accepted the role — as her post today has also been shared by Disney's official account.
It had been expected that Disney would soon name its pick for Mother Gothel, following word of casting for the film's lead roles of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider last month. Rather than some of the more well-known options suggested by fans for those roles, Tangled's leading duo will instead be played by Titans actress Teagan Croft and Zombies actor Milo Manheim.
Disney's attempt at a Tangled live-action was first reported in December of 2024, and has been in and out of development over the past year. The original animated version of Tangled, meanwhile, garnered plenty of positive reviews and grossed $592.5 million worldwide back in 2010, earning it a spot alongside other recent popular classics.
Work on this new adaptation appeared to have been paused last year following the widely-reported struggles faced by several other Disney live-action attempts, most notably the company's Snow White remake. But this was pause was short-lived, however, as the subsequent $1 billion box office performance of Lilo & Stitch got the ball rolling again.
Earlier today, it was reported that Disney is now developing a live-action Peter Pan spin-off centered on tiny fairy Tinker Bell, to launch on Disney+. Other upcoming live-action Disney remake projects in the works include the plans to remake Hercules and Bambi. A live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel is also in development, as well as plans to make a Beauty and the Beast spin-off starring Gaston.
Before all those, however, Disney will launch its live-action Moana remake in July.

AI "actress" Tilly Norwood is back — and this time she's released a pop music video, where she sings about the backlash to her initial announcement.
The song is titled “Take the Lead” and its accompanying music video is chock full of ridiculous imagery including Norwood swinging from a disco ball, singing on a London rooftop, and even flying through the sky while riding an inflatable flamingo.
But while the video seems to feature AI generated imagery throughout, production company Particle6 has said the project was made by a team of almost 20 people — and that rather than taking away work, AI was simply unlocking productivity. We'll let you make up your own minds there.
Tilly Norwood's new video starts off with a message that reads, “The following production was made by 18 real humans — from production designers to costume designers to prompters, editors, and an actor. No flamingos were harmed in the process.”
The song, which was inspired by an essay written by Norwood’s creator Eline van der Velden, was generated using Suno, an AI music generator, and put together by Particle6 (Van der Velden’s production company) and its AI talent arm Xicoia Studio using preexisting AI tools and its own proprietary creative process, according to The Hollywood Reporter. During that process, Van der Velden acted out Norwood’s performance, which was then incorporated into the AI workflow to produce the music video.
The lyrics show that Van der Velden is still dealing with the online and real-world backlash to Norwood's announcement and positioning as the world's first "AI actress" back in 2025. “When they talk about me, they don’t see the human spark, the creativity… I’m just a tool, but I’ve got life,” Norwood can be heard robotically singing. “They think I’m just a dollar dream but I’ve got more than they believe… I’m not a puppet, I’m the star.”
This music push seems to be testing the waters for Norwood’s official acting debut later this year, according to THR. The companies behind Norwood also seem to be pushing for a “Tilly-verse,” where Norwood and unreleased upcoming AI characters can “live, interact, and work,” the outlet claims.
Earlier this year, Marvel and Jurassic World star Chris Pratt hit out at Norwood, but insisted the panic within Hollywood about the potential impact of AI "actors" was "bulls***."
