Unlike other Steam Deck-style gadgets, Lenovo’s Legion Go gaming handheld, which just received a full-fat sequel, is constructed differently. And it’s more than just marketing jargon. The device’s most unique feature is its kickstand and detachable Switch-style controllers, which turn it into a small PC gaming tablet. That was deemed inadequate by one modder, who converted it into a small PC gaming laptop. Reddit user MysteriousAlarm897 made a small 8.8-inch laptop using the Legion Go hardware by 3D manufacturing a…

Although there are a few ways to avoid it, Microsoft’s self-imposed end-of-life deadline for Windows 10 is less than two months away, and users aren’t the only ones who are anxious about the change.

The two largest American PC manufacturers’ earnings calls, which are covered by our sister site…

A year has passed since we last saw a new graphics card decked out in the distinctive brown hues of Noctua. However, the RTX 50-series improvement that many have been anticipating is almost here.

A Surface Pro, Surface Laptop, and a later model with 5G capabilities are usually included in every new generation of Surface devices. With Microsoft’s announcement of the Surface Laptop 5G on Tuesday, that shoe has finally dropped. In this case, Microsoft has two options: either upgrade the business model of the Surface Laptop with an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake) chip, or upgrade the consumer model with 5G and its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite. The latter was selected…

Geeks enjoy exploring the inner workings of their hardware, either physically or through software, to extract a bit more power from it. Generally speaking, a small amount of mild overclocking is harmless, and manufacturers actually anticipate it to some extent. For laptops with discrete Nvidia RTX graphics cards, however, an unconventional approach is incredibly potent—and risky. The term “shunt mod” refers to a technique that allows a graphics card to operate at a power input far higher than its rated…

With the release of the Core X V2 and its new Razer Thunderbolt 5 dock, Razer has introduced a new generation of external GPUs that are Thunderbolt 5. However, it’s a significant downgrade from Razer’s previous eGPUs. The Core X was one of the most well-known eGPUs of the Thunderbolt 3 generation. It required no external power source and offered 650W of power for a three-slot graphics card. GPUs up to four slots wide can be used with the Core…

With four cores and eight threads, AMD’s Ryzen AI 5 330 operates at 2.0 GHz and can reach a turbo frequency of 4.5 GHz. With…

In the upcoming weeks, ChatGPT creator OpenAI intends to release its web browser, according to information given to Reuters. ChatGPT will be integrated into the new browser, enabling users to communicate with the AI chatbot immediately without going to the official website. Additionally, OpenAI is thinking of including its so-called Operator Agents, AI-powered helpers that can do a variety of chores on your behalf, such as making reservations or completing forms. Google’s Chromium codebase, which powers Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and…

When Asus unveiled their RTX 5090 ROG Astral Real Gold Edition graphics card, which is enhanced with five kilograms (eleven pounds) of pure gold, the company won the prize at Bilibili World 2025. It costs over $500,000, making it the priciest graphics card in the world, even if it’s a publicity gimmick, according to VideoCardz. Although Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is already a powerful high-end device, Asus’ ROG Astral Real Gold Edition went a step further. The graphics card is composed…

According to The Full Nerd podcast, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 is regarded as the greatest graphics card of all time due to its exceptional value, performance, and improvements over its predecessors. However, its time may be coming to an end. The last major GTX cards may be coming to an end as Nvidia is discontinuing support for Unix graphics for the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta families of GPUs. It makes sense if you’re a little perplexed. The fact that…
