Getting solid gaming parts is still a pain, but this pre-built desktop from HP is making things a bit easier. The manufacturer’s online store is selling an all-AMD gaming desktop with a Radeon RX 5500 for $550. That’s $100 off of the sticker price, $50 better than the sale price we saw in October, and an overall great starter price for an entry-level gaming rig.
With this desktop, you can expect some solid 1080p gaming. The AMD Radeon RX 5000, which is an OEM-only part, is bui
It’s a great day to speed up your PC with one of the simplest upgrades around. Amazon is selling the 1TB PCIe 3.0 Sabrent Rocket NVMe SSD for $85. That’s $15 off the most recent price. The drive is sold by third-party seller Store4Memory but ships from Amazon, which means the purchase is covered by Amazon’s return policy. It’s not clear how long the drive will be available at this price.
We haven’t reviewed this particular drive, but Sabrent drives are general
Few things are guaranteed, but we can tell you without a doubt that MSI’s updated GE76 Raider is faster than Apple’s touted MacBook Pro 16.
How do we know? Because Apple has already admitted the older GE76 Raider—our favorite gaming notebook of 2021—was faster than its M1 Max-based MacBook Pro 16, and MSI just updated it’s CPU, GPU, and cooling system to make it even faster.
While the older faster than MacBook Pro 16 featured up to an 8-core Intel Core i9-1
Usually, you want to see more in graphics cards. More graphics cores, more memory, more HDMI ports, more RGB bling and extra features, more. But in the budget GPU battle that’s brewing (FINALLY) between the just-announced $249 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 and $199 AMD Radeon RX 3050, less may actually mean more for PC gamers.
Neither Nvidia nor AMD divulged many hard technical details about their new budget graphics cards, which are both set to hit the streets later this month. From what w
AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm: CES always ushers in a flood of chip news that sets the stage for the year to come, and CES 2022 has been no different.
Two broad themes stand out: a concerted effort by AMD and Nvidia to develop low-end GPUs that (hopefully) will be widely available, and the introduction of next-gen CPU platforms by both AMD and Intel. Here’s all of PCWorld’s coverage, filed from our homes while CES limped on.

Qualcomm said Tuesday at CES that the company is working with Microsoft to develop custom augmented-reality chips to help the two companies develop lightweight augmented-reality glasses.
Qualcomm, which has already developed what it calls its Snapdragon Spaces XR Developer Platform, plans to integrate it with Microsoft Mesh, Microsoft’s own platform to help it establish the “metaverse” that Facebook (now Meta) popularized. Qualcomm didn’t provide a timeline for when
Just what are the limits of a thin and light laptop? MSI looks to test that with its new Creator Z16P, which manages to jam a 14-core 12th gen Core i9-12900H CPU and—we repeat—and Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU into a fairly thin portable.
How thin? The Z16P is 0.75-inches thick, or just over 19mm. The laptop’s footprint is about 14×10 inches, which makes it pretty petite for the hardware it packs.
Of course, with this much hardware in such a small pa
Asus has a full-court press at CES 2022, despite the diminished circumstances, and its Republic of Gamers (ROG) sub-brand is right out in front. Easily the most eye-catching of its new products is a pair of OLED gaming monitors, both packing 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh rates. The ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ is claimed as “the world’s first 42-inch OLED gaming monitor,” and we’re not about to argue. It’s also available in a 48-inch model, the PG48UQ.
