This Alienware Aurora R16 configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Note that this system features an air-cooled heatsink as opposed to a liquid cooling solution. It's probably fine, but in the future you might want to consider upgrading to beefier air cooling (like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin) or a 240mm AIO liquid cooler (like the Arctic Freezer III). Both are compatible, albeit a bit tricky according to user reports. A 1000W power supply does give you plenty of headroom.

The RTX 5070 Ti GPU Is Our Best Reviewed Nvidia Blackwell GPU

The best "value" GPU for 4K gaming

Of all the Blackwell cards released thus far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best value for high-fps 4K gaming. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super but with the added bonus of newer GDDR7 VRAM and multi-frame generation. If you plan on using this card for AI, the RTX 5070 Ti is a better value than the RTX 5080 since both have same amount of RAM (16GB). Compared to AMD, the RTX 5070 Ti is roughly comparable in raw performance to the AMD RX 9070 XT, but the 5070 Ti has better upscaling technology (especially with DLSS 4.5) and ray tracing performance. Check out our RTX 5070 Ti review by Jacqueline Thomas for our hands-on impressions.

What Is Apple TV+? Everything You Need to Know

Apple TV+ is an award-winning streaming service featuring Apple Originals — exclusive series, movies, documentaries, and more, with new content added every month. While it was a bit barebones when it launched in 2019, Apple TV+ has grown its library to over 180 series, with breakout hits like Ted Lasso, Severance, and Silo, as well as over 80 original films, including Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. Apple TV+ was also the first streaming service to receive an Academy Award for its original film CODA, which released in 2022.

While Apple TV+ may not boast a massive library like Netflix, it's long maintained a "quality over quantity" approach when it comes to its original programming with something that will surely appeal to just about anyone, regardless of age.

How Much Is Apple TV+?

Apple TV+ has only one subscription plan, which now costs $12.99/month. Since there are no ads by default, there are no ad-supported or limited tiers to worry about.

This monthly subscription cost was previously $9.99/month, and increased by $3 on August 21, 2025.

Apple One Subscriptions

Aside from standalone subscriptions, Apple TV+ is included in a bundled service called Apple One. The lowest-tier Apple One plan gives you access to four subscriptions: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and a 50GB iCloud+ plan, all for $19.95/month. The Premier Apple One plan costs $37.95/month, adding Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and an upgrade to 2TB of iCloud+ storage.

Apple TV+ Student Deals

If you're a current college or university student, you can sign up for a Apple Music plan that includes Apple TV+ at a discounted rate of $5.99/month. Apple Music usually costs $10.99/month on its own, so this is quite the deal.

MLS Season Pass

Treated as a separate subscription, Apple TV also hosts Major League Soccer streams. The MLS Season Pass starts at $14.99/month, and Apple TV+ subscribers get a $2 discount.

How to Watch Apple TV+ - Available Platforms

Apple TV+ is available to stream on all of your Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV set-top boxes.
