Have you been naughty this year? Actually, don't answer that, it's none of our business. But if you have. or if you just don't want to leave your holiday wish list to Santa's scrutiny, then we have a bead on a couple of grooving gaming hardware deals that you should check out. Specifically, there are deals to be had on the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally
Gamers on the PC platform could use a win right about now, and a victory may be coming when AMD gets around to formally launching its Ryzen 7 9850X3D, which is basically a binned and faster version of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The latest leaks involving AMD's next 3D V-Cache CPU suggests that pricing could be more palatable than some thought. Or
Just in case anyone needs to hear it again (as if!), we're in the midst of a memory crisis that has seen the cost of DRAM catapult to unsettling levels. And lest there be any doubt as to what/who the culprit is, G.Skill issued a statement pinning the blame squarely on "unprecedented high demand from the AI industry," which is a sentiment also
In case you missed our review of the Pixel 10 series, we're seriously impressed with Google's latest-generation Android phones, and many of them are currently offered at seriously big discounts. That includes the Pixel 10 Pro that, with the current limited time deal on Amazon, is marked down to its lowest price ever.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Is
The last time Apple released an iMac Pro was back in 2017. That could change next year, however, with the Pro designation for Apple's all-in-one PC making a comeback with a custom M5 Max chip in tow. Alternatively, Apple could be prepping a higher-end model of the iMac without the Pro moniker, while still having it aimed at power users.

AMD has quietly expanded its graphics card lineup with the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, essentially a lower power version of the regular Radeon RX 9060 XT for mid-range gaming PCs. From what we can tell, the specifications between and regular and LP models are virtual identical, save for a lower TBP (typical board rating) on the new LP variant.

Sometimes we can all use a little reassurance that everything will be okay. If you're PC enthusiast, now is definitely one of those times, as the booming AI market is gobbling up NAND flash memory chips and other hardware at a breakneck pace (and sending consumer brands packing for the data center hills). Well, enter Kioxia, which is rolling
It's been a minute since Google last rolled out an update for its first-generation Pixel Buds Pro, which released back in 2022. Now more than three years after launch, Google is offering another firmware update (version 5.11) to its original Pixel Buds Pro, and it could very well be the last one. Before the 5.11 release, the last firmware
Are we about to lose another NAND flash brand in the consumer storage space? Following Micron's decision to pull its 29-year-old Crucial brand from the consumer market to focus on higher margin data center clients, rumors began to swirl that Samsung was getting ready to stop selling SATA-based solid state drive (SSDs) to consumers. According
One of our favorite set of earbuds is on sale in time for Christmas. That would be the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) that we recently reviewed. One of the very few knocks we had against these earbuds was the premium price, but that is partially mitigated with this holiday deal. It still might not be the type of thing that qualifies as
Have you been on the fence about jumping into VR? Now is a great time to go ahead and make the leap because Amazon is serving up a fantastic deal on Meta's Quest 3 headset, which comes 512GB of built-in storage, controllers, and a couple of noteworthy bonuses, not the least of which is a $100 Amazon gift card.

Ahead of the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month, ASUS is giving a sneak peek at what to expect, which includes a "new chapter" for its innovative Zenbook Duo laptop. Already a unique laptop among a crowded field, a short teaser clip posted to X suggests that the next-generation model will sport dual battery slabs.
There's

Hey, it's your money and if you have over a grand to spend on a motherboard, then MSI's newly available MEG X870E Godlike X Edition has your name written all over it. Just be

Anyone who owns a modern or even semi-modern iPhone or iPad should stop what they're doing and urgently apply Apple's newly released iOS 26.2 update, as it's packed with over two dozen security patches, including multiple ones that are known to be actively exploited in the wild. The incremental but important update arrives just weeks after
Framework is on a mission to change the status quo when it comes to laptops, having introduced several modular models with replaceable parts that go beyond the DIY boundaries of what is typical for a laptop. Be that as it may, Framework is susceptible to the same market conditions as everyone else. As a result, it's being forced to raise DDR5
PC memory prices are getting out of control, there's no doubt about that, and storage could be next. You can blame AI and its growing appetite for hardware, which has left consumers in a precarious spot. Somewhat ironically, however, GPU prices continue to level out and sometimes even drop below MSRP. That's the case with a factory overclocked
Given the rash of recent leaks, we'd be shocked if the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas came and went without the roll out of Intel's Arrow Lake-S Refresh processors. Yet another one that we can add to the pile is a pair of retail listings for two as-yet unannounced CPU models, the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus and Core Ultra
We're old enough to remember when big screen TVs came with big time prices. They were also a lot more bulky than they are now. Fortunately, this is one area in tech where pricing now favors the consumer (unlike DRAM, don't even get us started), and if you're not ultra-picky, you can score a 65-inch model for less than $300, or even less than
HP Threat Research just issued a new security report detailing a growing trend by attackers towards hijacking session cookies as an alternative means to tried-and-true credential theft. The reason hackers are finding a bigger appetite for sessions cookies is because today's hybrid work environment has led to changes that make stealing cookies
ASUS is rolling out a new gaming monitor that will make your buddy's 4K panel feel like old tech, especially if theirs is not a dual-mode display. The monitor in question is the ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG, and as the model designation implies, it sports a native 5K resolution (5120x2880). At that tier, even the fastest GPUs like the GeForce RTX
The writing is on the wall in bright neon colors for gamers on the PC platform—pricing is going up and, if you're planning to buy a new system, do it now before we enter into 2026. That's not just coming from us, but directly from manufacturers like Maingear and others. Driving the point home, Micron recently announced it was ending its Crucial
Watch out Samsung, because if a new report by the analysts at IDC Research proves accurate, Apple's upcoming iPhone Fold will almost instantly capture a huge portion of the folding smartphone market. The forecast for what is being dubbed a "real game-changer for the category" is that the iPhone Fold will capture a "22% unit share and staggering
