The Steam Deck wasn’t the first tiny PC to take inspiration from portable game consoles. But its unbeatable price is one of its standout features, since the nearest competitors in the same form factor are more than twice as expensive as the Steam Deck’s $400 base model. But Valve won’t hold on to its price advantage for very long. Two different companies which already have well-received portable gaming machines on the market are preparing even cheaper alternatives.

So the 3.5mm audio jack on your laptop has given up the ghost, and getting it fixed is too much of a pain. (This is the conclusion you’ve reluctantly come to after troubleshooting the audio issues on your PC.) No problem—you can easily fix this issue with a simple accessory.
An external sound card adapter can take the signal from your analog headphones, microphone, or combination headset and convert it to a digital one passed over USB. You can find these starting around $8, but
The Microsoft Store is the butt of many a joke in the Windows community, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth downloading on it. Today Microsoft is honoring the best of the best applications you can get in the Store, and honestly, they’re pretty dang good! The App Awards are worth a quick look if you’re hunting for some high-quality tools to add to your PC.
Some of the choices are a bit rote — does anyone really need a dedicated app to watch Disney+? &m
There’s nothing a like a well-priced convertible laptop to start off a short week. Right now, Walmart is selling the 14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i for $279. That’s $260 off the MSRP and a good price for a convertible laptop with a touchscreen.
The IdeaPad Flex 5i is, like many laptops in this price range, short on storage–128GB total. So, this device will be best suited for someone who primarily works in the cloud like a student. For the CPU, Lenovo chose the Intel &ldqu
If you’re someone who stores a ton of files, you’re going to need a lot of storage. All you need is a spare drive bay and room on the motherboard to connect it. If that’s you, then head on over to Newegg today. The online retailer is selling the 2.5-inch 1TB Team Group CX2 for $65–$24 off the MSRP. That’s an excellent price for this amount of storage.
This SSD is considered entry-level, so we wouldn’t recommend it as a primary drive. That said, it would

This may be a weird thing to admit, but I’ve become smitten with my web browser’s new tab page.
It’s not the standard one that comes with Microsoft Edge or any other browser for that matter. Instead, it’s a fantastic extension called Tabliss, available for Chrome (or other Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge) and Firefox. Once installed, it replaces your browser’s regular new tab page with one that’s prettier, more customizable, and even a litt
Time may not necessarily be money, but it still matters. Every second you spend wading through context menus or clunkily navigating Windows is a second you could be doing something you love instead. And with so much of modern life tied up in technology, those wasted seconds can add up fast.
Now it’s time to reclaim those lost seconds, minutes, and hours. These simple Windows 10 tips and tricks aren’t glamorous and most aren’t even new, to be honest, but when deployed toget
Bioshock, the action-horror staple that blended RPG elements, solid gunplay, and Randian-inspired horror, is an undisputed gaming classic. Bioshock Infinite took it one step further, adding amazing swashbuckling movement mechanics, incredible supporting characters, and a reality-warping story that pulled no narrative punches. Also, Bioshock 2 was a video game. Following up its impressive Borderlands 3 freebie, the Epic Games Store is giving away the PC version of all three Bioshock games this
