My dad was a computer network engineer in the 90s. His job was to build computer labs—that’s what they called server rooms back then—and by extension he also built one in our dining room, so my house was filled with the hum and whirr of beige boxes. Boxes that looked a whole lot like Silverstone’s newest throwback PC case, which PCWorld’s Adam Patrick Murray got to h
It’s time for a new addition to Logitech G, the company’s gaming-specific brand of accessories. Today, Logitech is launching its brand-new G522 gaming headset, which builds on the popular G733 headset but is now part of its award-winning G5 series.
It’s not often you can score a decent laptop at a budget-tier price, but this Asus Vivobook fits the bill. While it normally goes for $700, right now you can get the Asus Vivobook 15 at B&H for a mere $550.

Big things come in small packages, or so they say. That maybe isn’t always the case, but it sure is with the Samsung Fit Plus! This super-fast, super-tiny USB flash drive is smaller than your thumb, and the price for it is equally miniscule right now: get 128GB for just $15 on Amazon,
Microsoft’s Surface Laptop series is, in many ways, the pure, platonic ideal of a modern laptop…but it sure ain’t cheap. Even its latest “budget” models have left a lot to be desired, starting with a lower price tag.

On paper, the idea of a PC gaming tablet doesn't really make sense. Anything with a screen larger than eight to ten inches is generally too big to hold for longer sessions. Their thin chassis don't leave much room for big batteries, ports or discrete graphics. But with the second-gen ROG Flow Z13, ASUS is turning that line of thought on its head with a surprisingly powerful system that can do more than just game — as long as you don't mind paying a premium for some niche engineering.
