When Apple finally released its M1 Max processor in October, the Internet predictably saw dark days for PC laptops. Some even felt bad for PC laptop makers being uncompetitive with the MacBook Pro for perhaps “years.” Those predictions may have to be retuned a bit now that Intel and Nvidia have both come out swinging at Apple, however.
Nvidia was the first to step on Apple’s sneakers when it announced its new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPUs. Nvidia

Warriors of the Empire, hear me! While my pink blood longs for the battlefield as much as any of my Klingon brothers and sisters, the time has come to admit that our alliance with the weaklings in the Federation does have some fringe benefits. Not only have we regained access to classic texts from that most celebrated Klingon storyteller, Shakespeare, we now have a means of preserving our written heritage for humans. LibreOffice, a Federation means of processing written words, will soon suppor
CES sets trends in the PC market for the year to come. This year, sustainability became an area of focus, with multiple PC makers – and, of course, companies in other industries – announcing sustainability goals and promising to use more recycled materials in new devices.
But to what end? Do PC makers have anything new to say on sustainability, and is there really a difference between companies? I dove into a pile of CES announcements and annual corporate responsibility reports
You probably have a “tool drawer” in your house or apartment with a wrench, a few screwdrivers, and other tools for simple home projects. That’s what PowerToys is—just for Windows.
Microsoft’s PowerToys debuted more than two years ago, evolving from a single utility to an even dozen Windows tools that perform specialized tasks to improve your life. Some can be extremely powerful! I will show you a number of ways I use Microsoft’s PowerToys within Windows

It may be incredibly small, but Micron’s new 2400 SSD is still capable of packing up to 2TB of storage and PCIe 4.0, the company said Tuesday.
Micron said the teeny-tiny SSD (the smallest one above) measures 22mm x 30mm but is still capable of hitting 2TB of capacity and decent performance thanks to the company’s new 176-layer QLC NAND. Micron calls its 176-layer ultra dense NAND an “unprecedented” development for PC storage for not only decreasing the physical space
Proving that whenever you buy something new, a better thing immediately comes out, the PCI-Sig Group announced the release of PCIe 6.0 on Tuesday, which will double the raw data rates of the PCIe 5.0 technology that only just debuted in Intel’s 12th-gen ‘Alder Lake’ Core processors.
PCI-SIG, the group that oversees the specification, said PCIe 6.0 will support 64 Giga Transfers per second, which equals about 256GB/s over a 16 lane configuration. To reach that blistering sp
Sure, sheer power makes a big difference in your PC’s performance, but efficient cooling plays a huge part too. Yes, better cooling is the answer to better desktop gaming, and HP’s unique new take on traditional closed-loop cooling caught our eye at CES 2022.
HP’s clever idea might not wow you like CyberPower PC’s wild “breathing” PC case, but this truly ingenious design could prove much more practical. HP has already patented what its calls a Cryro Chamb
